This is the first FRC show with the new mixer.  There's a weird, staticy effect on the mic, which didn't bother me at all.  But I think you could hear the porn videos popping up from Skank, our virus-infected computer during my show.  I hate viruses.  Shame on all you virus-starters.

This show featured an interview with Orin and Dave from Holy Rolling Empire, who were bound for South-by-Southwest.  I also got to "world-debut" three new songs that Holy Rolling Empire recently finished recording. Also, I went an hour longer than usual since Tornado Alley was out of town.

The first five minutes didn't record for some reason.  Fast forward to exactly five minutes into the show and the rest is there.  Peace.

Be sure to tune in on Saturday, February 13th, at 4 PM for a special version of STP featuring a live interview with Ryen and Dimitri from Golden Boots.

It hurts my heart to think that visitors to this web site might take one look at the station schedule and think that this radio station is associated in any way, shape, or form with that group of ninnies who think Sarah Palin is the New Messiah and Glenn Beck is a cool dude.

Even though the show Schmackie's Tea Party preceded that political movement by several months, I have decided to change the name of the show to Schmackie's Trip Parade.

Holy Shit!  I've been playing this guy's music frequently on my show in the past year.  He was just starting to become a significant factor in the indie-rock world. Police are now saying that his death is being investigated as a homicide.

Here's what Pitchfork says:

Very, very sad news: It has been confirmed that Jay Reatard has died. He was 29 years old. More details are forthcoming.
