Preshow's rolling right now. Actual programming begins shortly after 10. DJ consciousness not guaranteed, damned SA threads.

I. HATE. SAUERKRAUT!

Hey! voice! Cool.

It came to me as I fell asleep last night. "I should record a voice introduction." 15 mins of monkeying around with my PDA and BAM!

Nice touch.

There's some slight changes to the lineup coming up. Will you be joining me on IRC?

So where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?

I. HATE. SAUERKRAUT!

communist.

I know. My German grandma could never understand.

Also, yesterday at work I was cataloging CD singles, and I've come to the conclusion that the music industry possesses an endless supply of nubile post-pubescent girls who sing mildly racy dance music under their first names only. And their first name is always something like "Rochelle," or "Vivica."

I think it owuld be very punk rock to have one named "Hortense," "Edna," or "Beulah."

Let's have auditions.

on preview: there's sauerkraut and there's sauerkraut, my friend. I was eating at a German restaurant in the Village. All the staff was from Bavaria, the barmaids all in dirndls. I had some brats & kraut and a big ol' stein of Weihenstephaner Weissbier. "This kraut is delicious," I told the waitress.

"Yass, it iz gut," she answered, "What you people eat on ze frahnkfurters here, zat is not zauerkraut. Zat is pickled cabbage. But zis, zis is gut. Ve make it here."

Then she walked over to the stool where this guy had left his very well-behaved bulldog, picked the pooch up and danced to the oompah music with him for a few minutes.

There's a Canadjun singer named "Dalbello." I haven't heard much of her stuff, but she's got quite a voice.

Jon, that's a great story.

"Dalbello," still sounds exotic and thus racy. We need an ingenue named Hilda or Matilda or something.

woo! - Eurotrash girl. There's a track I can get behind.

Taz, you're my favorite Eurotrash girl.

Matilda? Could I be an ingenue? A 40 year old fat ingenue?

P.S. There's an indie rock band called Beulah but it's all guys as far as I know.

There's an indie rock band called Beulah

who are actually pretty damned good.

Matilda? Could I be an ingenue? A 40 year old fat ingenue?

your bling, fishnets, and pink stilletos are in the mail.

matilda, I like plenty of indie bands (especially those from back in the late 80's-early 90's). my playlist (somewhat out of date, but still representative of my tastes) contains plenty of indie stuff: the Replacements, Husker Du, Green On Red, E*I*E*I*O, Guadalcanal Diary, Sonic Youth all are faves of mine. I just have beefs with the posturing on the indie scene, the fact that the term "indie rock," actually tells you nothing about what the music sounds like, and the fact that these days it's generally as bland as the mainstream it opposes. But I've said that all before ad nauseam, so I'll shut up now.

Yep, looks like the server's gone down. I've logged it with the ISP.

That makes sense, jon - I'm more making fun of the "jonmc persona" than the actual jonmc. I love you - kisses!

Ok, we're back. ~1 hr, then RadioMatilda!

Yeah, I spoke. I didn't rap or beatbox, though. Heartbreaking, I know. I think 1 or two people wanted a West Coast rebroadcast; maybe later this week.
