DAY TWELVE NO POWER
Sep 24th
OH DEAREST CENTERPOINT! Are not we, the dutiful denziens of citizen music journalism, part of this city’s crucial infastructure? Do we not comfort and heal like a hospital? Do we not teach like a school? Do we not discuss songs of praise that make some raise hands to the heaven (POWERHOUSE!)? Do we not stop traffic like a light when we have the opportunity to perform basic grooming in full illumination?
As for you, dear reader: we hope that you have either power or high spirits. Its not particularly motivating to be in a dark hot office. We should have a weekend preview for you by Friday, as it looks like this one will be ‘back to normal.’ In the meantime, we hope that you, like us, have taken this opportunity to read some books, get acquainted with talk radio, and utterly destroy your body by spending too much of your time in coffee shops and bars that have electric lights. Rest assured Houston, you’ve got a great body and it can take the damage.
TSN ON THE RADIO! TONIGHT! 8PM!
Aug 12th
It should go without saying that every Tuesday 8-10pm you should have your hi-fi dialed and locked into 91.7fm for The Local Show on KTRU (or you can stream it online here). This week is no exception, as we are pleased as Guyana Punch to be able to announce that The Skyline Network’s own adr will be guest hosting for the first hour. While he’s wearing cans on his ears and sitting behind the gold plated KTRU microphone, no doubt committing a number of gaffes proportionate to his unfamiliarity with the equipment, Ian, the mastermind and weekly host behind it all will be prepping the studio for a live performance by none other than The McKenzies. Strange brew indeed.
Though KTRU bylaws strictly prohibit any of his personality from shining through, he’s packing up his crate of records now and we can say definitively that you are in for a treat, including OH SO HOT sneak peek tracks from The Wild Moccasins, The Monocles, Tod the Fox and more! Plus, new stuff from all the aces records to come out in the past few months and weeks (including quite possibly the out-today new Jenny Westbury record – sure to cause sizzling no-he-did-unt gossip as adr seems incapable of uttering the words “Jenny Westbury” without following them with “will you marry me.” Now THAT is some news on the march! Sadly, you won’t get to hear any POWERHOUSE!, a band in adr’s current (and pepetual) top 5 local acts due to their affinity for bad words and the FCC’s distaste for the same. UNFUN!
UPDATE: Turns out one of our fav POWERHOUSE! songs doesn’t have any bad words so adr ended his set with it. Brilliant.
