21.4.19 14:42 It's Easter and it's been three years - if Prince doesn't come back today, he's probably not coming back ever. :( On the plus side, we still have CABS! I hope you can come out to Kitty Cat Klub and work off the spiral-sliced ham with Cadbury creme.
20.4.19 13:22 Tonight we're gonna Assortment and tomorrow we're gonna CABS (event links in comments)

In my checkout line at Cub, a couple of workers were providing an autopsy to a soggy Diet Dr Pepper 12 pack box which had apparently been the victim of an exploded and emptied can. The mess had left a puddle on the conveyor belt and they were starting to worry about just leaving it there while they collected something to clean off the belt, when my checker said "oh, don't worry - it's Dr Pepper! Nobody will want it." One of them shot back "even worse - it's Diet!" whereupon I pointed to the 12 pack of Diet Dr Pepper Cherry in my basket which my checker had rung up not 15 seconds ago (4/$10). After a collective "d'oh" from all involved, they decided to make up for it by just giving me 8 loose cans of Diet Dr Pepper so they wouldn't have to figure out how to restock them. Anyway, I'm on the radio live at 2am CDT (midnight on the west coast) and hope you'll be tuning in if you're awake and haven't a better thing to do.

Don't let the form letter fool you - I'm pretty sure it was because I asked for too much money. ;-)

On This Day shared a spectacular tipsypost from me from three years ago after making it home after Clown Lounge shots with John after his MFA reading - I will spare you THAT share, but I *did* like this advice I posted to myself the next day...which I have largely failed to heed, except on rare occasions when I've managed to successfully transition from carpetbomb drunkposting to finely targeted drunkMessengering - although I'm sure the recipients don't uuuuuusually find it as poetic as I do ;-)
16.4.19 15:57 
If you've got an hour, I've got a new episode and nine 12" singles for you, including Kon Kan, Dead or Alive, OMD, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Fashion, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Saint Etienne, LaTour and... Monkey Business?

Did check out one place for RSD but they had no bargains. Briefly considered one purchase...
13.4.19 13:25 You didn't ask, but yeah, I'm blowing off Record Store Day (as I usually seem to do) - gonna catch Pokémon at the Mall of America from 3 to 6 and then try to be on time for Chris Strouth's show at 7. Next year I'll try harder to spin somewhere... maybe :)
12.4.19 12:55 
Hey hey it took a week for the archive to catch up but if you're a completist, or you're Ian Flomer or you just want to hear me do the worst radio show I've ever done...you got 7 days left to stream it. :)

Yes, WrestleMania is on at my house. Yes, you can come over if you REALLY want. The preshow is at 4 and the show itself starts at 6. The WWE Network schedule says it's supposed to end by 11.30 but don't be surprised if it goes until midnight. Yes, that's eight hours somehow. I have two bathrooms.
6.4.19 03:46 OK, now we're talking
5.4.19 23:06 Funky! Come on over, there's no cover!

So if I understand correctly, you couldn't actually experience my train wreck of an on-air hosting this morning unless you actually tuned it in on a radio, as streaming was down but nobody checked in and told me. Not that I could have fixed it anyway....I would have been all "uhhhh do you own a radio I guess?" Mason said it was some kind of magical impedance box that maybe blew a fuse that took down the cable that makes laptops connect to the board (EDIT: unrelated to streaming not working - I think - or the Wi-Fi going down at 2 minutes to 6), so it's a relief to know I personally didn't break anything or that it was gonna magically work for everybody EXCEPT me - but watching Mason & Barb power through AM Drive without the ability to use laptops was quite a sight. The archive is delayed, but it's not like I'm dying to immediately relive ... well, dying on the air. Worst part is I'm totally turned around on sleep schedule and wondering if I was expecting any calls today. But thanks to Ian Flomer for both his apparent use of a radio and the kind words that I had to open an Instagram app to read. And sorry again for trying to wake up Mason at 0228 (while NOT trying to wake up Leah at 0228 - definitely calling Leah first if there's a next time). SLT, you need to buy two lottery tickets - one for you, one for me.

Well, shit - can't get audio from my laptop - now is a very spontaneous, interesting show if we can't figure it out (lots of long records, I imagine)

TONIGHT: Once again I am entrusted with four hours of KFAI's air time as I guest host Across The Board with DJ SLT on KFAI - here's your spoiler alert for the first hour. 02:00:00-05:59:57 CDT; 90.3 or streaming live/archived from kfai•org.

I don't think anybody's noticed but I wore the old school spectacles tonight
2.4.19 04:30 
I gotta say, I think I did an OK job staying true to the franchise this week. (I also forgot to plug Across the Board at the end, but oh well) Expect a Dollar Bin plug later today ;-) (Cruise Control: 4/2/2019)

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Mailed my final alimony payment to my first ex-wife. Hope that cheque clears! (Now taking applications for second ex-wife)

Now that the KFAI Pledge Drive is over, our overworked regular hosts need to take a little time off, and guess what that means? YES! MORE CRZ ON THE AIR! Tonight at midnight, I solo guest host a rare live Cruise Control with two hours of smoooooooooooth music - well, probably, mostly, you know how I goooooo. Also, Friday morning (late Thursday night) from 2am to 6am I am subbing on Across The Board with DJ SLT on KFAI where I will play no less than three requests in the first hour alone. Tune in at 90.3 FM or stream live/archived from the ol' website-eroo org! Oh and by the way a new Dollar Bin on KFAI will be available for streaming Tuesday as well! YOU CAN'T SPELL "RADIO MUSICZ" WITHOUT CRZâ„¢.
