Motion from the lotion

This was another one of those weeks where I stumbled into a good setlist by accident. Musta been the fact that it fell on the Leap Year, which is the most exalted day of all time. Or something. What the hell is leap year anyway (besides a reminder to vote)? Heres one answer.


Anyhoo, I got a call from a listener telling me to keep up the good work. I will take that as encouragement to keep on keepin' on. I acknowledge that the show has definitely changed over the years. Any fans of the predominantly videogame/soundtrack format have probably noticed a severe deficiency since I took over the board. No one has called to complain though. I'll take that as acceptance.
Since I'm the primary knob twiddler I will keep on doin' what I do.

How was your VD evening? Was it a grand affair? Here in the studio I lit some candles and got all sexed up with some of the equipment. Don't tell my bosses.

American Strikeout

This is another crazy week. Several papers due next week; one on the War of 1812, one on the link between media and crime and another where I have to apply Marxist socioeconomic theory to a film. I chose American Psycho. The link is rather obvious; so much so that I may get called out for taking the easy route. We'll see.

I get the feeling that the only types of weeks I will be having from now until graduation. I will try my damnedest to bring you a quality show every week. I was going to try something new on this episode but ran out of time, so tune in next week for this potentially career-ending experiment.

The good news this week is that Carl King gave the show a shout out and placed a link to this blog on his friends page. This is exciting news. I don't know if we'll gain any new listeners but I shall try to maintain whatever questionable standards I possess.

One little piece

So this has been a busy week. Random senior-year obligations and homework, homework, homework. I hastily threw together a show without fully vetting the songs because I was occupied with other things. Listen close to pick out the words that don't belong.

Keep it geeky, folks. I will continue toiling away towards a piece of paper that costs a lot of money.
- Jackie Treehorn.

We've got a pathway to the stars

This week has been hectic. Several papers due, a research proposal to submit, and large reading assignments. Who knew your last semester of your senior year would be so damn crazy?

Never fear, constant listener. I found the time to throw together a decent playlist for the show. I featured a local band of interest, Osaka Love Hotel. This is a former project of the dapper dude currently involved with the music of [Sparrow]. Click the links for free music!

OH GAWD, THE HOMEWORK!!!!

I'm a week into classes and I've already turned in three writing assignments. Kill me now. Please. Please? I'm predicting lots of sleep deprivation occurring as the semester trundles on.

In other news, Wikipedia has shut down in protest over SOPA/PIPA. Thats a laudable move in the face of other sites backing out on their promise to do the same. LEARN MORE HERE.

Well the show was great this week. I had a good time dickin' around in the studio and diggin' through old CDs in the collection. Mos Def was our G.A.P.E.S. selection of the night.

Its icy outside. I will do my best to slide on home without overturning my large, expensive, gas guzzling American vehicle.

Classes started. Say goodbye to living.

Classes started this week. Jack will be a very busy boy. 4 classes and 108 days separate me from a piece of paper that will perhaps land me a better paying job than the one I have now. Will the education gambit pay off? WHO KNOWS!

This was a pretty solid show. Lots of 8-bit and a track by a band that DJ GunRack simply goddamn hated, so I had to wait until he left the state to play it again. If you missed the show, you'll just have to figure out which track it is.

2012 could be the year for a lot of things to go wrong.

Thats right, folks. 2012 is upon us. Hide yo' kids. Hid yo' wife. Duck and cover.

I kicked off the year with a track from They Might Be Giants to get us all in a cheerful mood. That way we can ignore all the impending mayan-prophesied doom that will rain down from the sky.

But really, 2011 was a pretty swell year. I have some Big Events going on on 2012, so I hope it will also be a swell year. Graduation is a mere 4 months away. Pretty hard to believe. It will also mark the 6th year I've been involved with this show. Damn!

I'm excited to be in the studio for '12 and (maybe) beyond. Thanks for the calls, requests, and all-around support. Thats the kind of thing that keeps me trundling into the studio every week!

Until next week, start dusting off those underground bunkers in the backyard.

Surprise end-of-year reunion show!

I was treated to an unexpected surprise this week: DJ Gunrack returned to Kalamazoo for the holidays! I was able to smuggle him into the studio for the show tonight. Since it was the last show of 2011, we ripped off our own concept from 2010 and played our favorite tracks and artists of the year. The show ended up going a bit past the normal 2-hour length but we took that liberty since no one has a show after the show's timeslot and the overnight computer can get a bit repetitive if you've ever listened to it more than, well, once.

Hard to believe we've come to the end of another year. Gunrack has moved away and I'm hoping to follow in his footsteps and escape Kalamazoo sooner than later. I graduate in the spring and the future is uncertain after that point. Will I find a job? Will I get fired from WIDR for smuggling Gunrack into the studio? Will the world actually end in 2012? Tune in next year to find out!

Since this is a “Best of” show and we think these bands are of particular note, here is the track list in order of "artist/song/album" from last-to-first:
