DJ Gun Rack makes a return!

DJ Gun Rack called me last week and informed me that he would maybe be back in town in time for a reunion show. Turns out he got here in time. The south has not conquered him yet. This was good news. The show served as a convenient segue into the coming fall semester. Tune in next week for a back-to-school special!

This concludes our broadcast.

...of the Hitchhiker's Guide, anyway. Our ambitious endeavor has been finished to completion. (Theres gotta be a better way to say that!). It took a little more time than the original half-year estimate but whatever comes next should dovetail nicely with the beginning of the school year in two weeks.

This week's show was a bit electro-centric, which was not my intention at the onset. Huh. Guess things happened that way.

I'm coming to realize that as long as I'm alone in the studio, I need to do things to keep myself and you, the listener, entertained. I don't like talking at you about nothing, but I also don't like a two hour chunk of music thrown at you. I'd like to use some WIDR influence and try to do a few author, artist, musician interviews in the coming months. This is my senior year here at WMU, I don't want to squander away the resources I have available.

Some potential interview candidates:
Carl King
Chad Kultgen
Iain Levison

The list will get added to. If you have someone in mind, let me know.

The life of facts.

This week marks the second-to-last episode of Hitchhiker's Guide. I'm currently looking for something new to take over that nice block of time. Music selections in the studio were pretty damn swell. The rotation rack has tunes a'plenty.

This week also marks the last few days of my summer class. Pretty crazy stuff. I'm a senior! This will (hopefully) be my last summer class. Ever. Unless the job market is so piss poor that I require a doctorate to work at a Starbux. Possible.

Studio time

The studio appears to have healed itself after last week's lightning strike. I think the webstream is back up as well. For now.

This weeks show marks the 24th episode of the Hitchhiker's guide series. It also featured lots of new music; some of the music were hits, some of it misses. There may even have been an accidental "c-word" I edited out of the recording. Ahem.

Enjoy. I'm off to go act like a hooligan around campus for a bit.

Pre-trip podcast

This week's show was short and simple. I admit I didn't spend a lot of time on preparing the playlist and it shows. Please pardon my awkwardness around the beginning of the broadcast. This week has been crazy busy for your humble DJ. In addition to sleeping through class today I had yet another friend leaving Michigan in pursuit of good opportunity. This summer has been jam packed with activities!

In other news, I'm on my way to see Clutch this afternoon in Champaign-Urbana, IL at The Canopy Club. I should be staying the night and then checking out the Chanute Air Museum the next day. What makes this somewhat exciting and daunting is that this will be my longest journey-by-motorcycle ever undertaken. Cross your digits for me. I promise to do a write up following the trip.

Hot chips

In case you hadn't noticed, its pretty hot outside this week. Your humble DJ recommends hydration, shade, and an internet connection to stream/download/enjoy this latest podcast.


This week's show marks the 21st episode of the Hitchhiker's guide series. Only five more to go before it concludes. The music selection this week was solid. Enjoy.

Mid-July craziness

Tonight marks episode 20 of the Hitchhiker's Guide series. Only 6 more left. Crazy.

Tonight also marks the return back to mp3s! Whatever issue the WIDR computers were having with mp3s has been resolved and the format is now acceptable for the iTunesU podcast uploading. Yay!

I was going to try to interview whatever random hobo happened to be sleeping under the stairs at the Faunce/WIDR building tonight but sadly no hobo was present. Maybe next time.

Introducing Jackie Treehorn to the show.

Well, Gun Rack will be leaving the state in a matter of hours.

Since the show will no doubt change in his absence I chose a new name in addition to changing versions to mark to the next iteration of this radio show.

Without further ado, it is time to introduce The LAN Party 3.0 with your host, Jackie Treehorn.


Tonight's show was a bit of a surprise, even to myself. It came together rather nicely.
