Okay, so there was no show this last week.
I can explain.

If anybody was tuned in to 'Goin Underground' (hosted by MythoX) just before me, you would've heard the station suddenly go off-air. For some reason, the rain knocked us out.  We got static on the feed in the station, and a short while later, our transmitter signal flatlined... no power readings of any kind.  And all the little lights on it went spastic.  One of our engineers called in, and said the 2 other stations we share our tower with were off too. 

I was there for all of this since I came in early to work on a Promo for the Halloween "Hairy Scary Weekend" Show I've been planning.  I stayed till around 4:30, when I went to check the Signal and we were back on air.  I talked with MythoX some more, since he had stayed to work on adding new songs to the main automation.  I decided I was tired (Getting Cold&Wet will do that to you) and went home, deciding I'd rather not do a shorter show with half-assed energy. 

The Good News is that next week is already planned out for once.  New Stuff Includes:

A National Acrobat by Black Sabbath
You Could have it so Much Better by Franz Ferdinand
Rip out the Wings of a Butterfly by HIM
Learning to See by Van Halen
With a Wonder and A Wild Desire by Flogging Molly
Dancing For No One by Hello Stranger
Fighting in a Sack by The Shins
Tonight I'm gonna Rock you Tonight by Spinal Tap
To Find a Friend by Tom Petty
Raining Blood by Slayer

A National Acrobat was recommended to me by a Call-In.  I bought the CD (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath) a day or two ago, and I have to say I really enjoyed the whole thing.  I've grown up mostly hearing stuff off of the 'Paranoid' Album, and Sabbath really has some better stuff out there. 
As For Slayer.... I don't like Slayer.  Their lyrics are hard to hear, and usually just as over-the-top as their performance.  I like harmony and melody... Slayer is just... percussive in all sounds.  However, I can't play *only* the music that I like on the show.  (Though I tend to).  Somebody called in a request for Slayer, and I didn't have any at the time.  So: I picked some up for 2 reasons. #1- When doing a Halloween Show all about Metal, You need to at least include Slayer.  Yeah, it's thrash metal, which is often gut-wrenching, but it IS metal, after all.  #2- I like to make callers happy.  But I'm not buying any more thrash albums any time soon. 

Somewhere, I apparently Became a 'Metal' show.  I guess I like metal a lot, but I try and play other stuff too.  I mean.. Hello Stranger, Tom Petty, and The Shins are far from Metal.  It really changes from week to week I suppose.

Oh, and one last thing:  HIM is releasing a new album, 'Venus Doom'.  It comes out on the 18th, and I'll be sure to be playing some of it during that weekend's show.

Ah, just so everyone knows, I just beat Halo 2 on Heroic
Anyways, anyways... The show tomorrow. Er, Today.

New tracks by Ozzy, Sammy Hagar, Mackeel, Franz Ferdinand, Danzig, The Vincent Black Shadow, and a few others.

Still waiting on word from my brother on that cable. Grr.

Oh, This week I picked up some new (used) cds. The Skeletones, The Skalars, Ben Kweller, and Queensryche (I've been in the mood for them a lot lately... weird since I used to not be able to stand the only CD I had by them) I might drop a few tracks off them during the show. In fact, I most likely will.

Peace and Love,
