Well, I haven't posted about the show in awhile.  So here is any news about it:

For starters, I realized nobody reads this in context of the show anyways, so I dumped even mentioning it on the show.  I still try an mention the email line for suggestions, but still, no responses.   Suppose such is the curse of doing a show on Saturday Afternoons on a college station.  However, 88.7 is getting more popular... just not my show.

Second, listeners may have noticed that I dropped 99% of the alternative from the show, which I began doing as I moved through October to the "Special" metal show, which marked the start of the change of format.  It is metal now, obviously.  I saw the move coming, but didn't want to do it.  I don't consider myself a "metalhead" really, though I really like a lot of metal bands.  I like a lot of other music, too.  But the hodgepodge show was too messy, and people want to know what they are going to hear.  So, I stuck with metal, which I have the most of, know the most about, and got the most requests for.  I've tried moving any of my old alternative, such as Ben Kweller, Uncle Tupelo, Bosstones, etc, into regular rotation for WPCD's regular format.  Some have made it, some haven't.  Those decisions are up to our station manager, really. 

Third, hey, look, I changed my theme.  Yay.  I'm still not really happy with it, but it is a change, so I'll settle.  Nobody reads this besides my friends anyways.

Back to music, here is a current list of everything I play now.  As always, remember I almost always buy entire albums, so if an artists has multiple songs, chances are I have an album or two by them. 



So keep in mind, if you have ideas for bands that would fit in the list, lemme know! sunnyside887@gmail.com is the email for the show.

If you happen to read this and don't want to email me, call 373-3790 during regular show hours.  I'm always live, so I'd love to hear recommendations then.  I was thinking that the next show I'd stress some of this. 

One last thing, there are about 8 Months left for the show.  Then I have to move along on my way.

That's all for now, folks.

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.
