"I'm the dog that ate your birthday cake..."
- Sparklemotion (oops, i mean, Sparklehorse)

a good night/morning at WYEP although it started off shaky. got pulled over on the way there and didn't get on the air until 12:05. luckily Justin is still co-hosting with me. but i'll have to make sure i have a clear path around the speed traps because Justin will be moving to Eugene Oregon in two weeks and then i'll be doing the whole thing by myself. last night was probably the smoothest one yet though. only glitch was when i cued up a wrong song for some poor drunk who wanted to hear Joe Jackson. he got the new Doves song instead. also, here's to the people that work at the studio during the day because they left us a shitload of chow in the breakroom. i don't know what it was (some kind of middleastern looking sauces and rice and pitas) but me and Justin made some bizarre rainbow-colored burritos with one of everything and that was all the fuel we needed.

has anyone seen the "reality" show "DOG" about the bounty hunter family? what a bunch of douchebags. they all got this stupid 80's throwback look to them and near as i can tell the main douche, i mean "Dog" runs around macing high school kids who missed their court dates. he talks to the camera trying to make every arrest seem dangerous like he's busting down Tony Montana's front door and then they all turn out to be some dumbass hiding under a plastic kid's pool. and the faggot has the balls to actually preach to the people he arrests. it's the most obvious grand-standing poser bullshit i've seen in years. the whole time i sat with my fingers crossed hoping that fuck would look into a peephole and get a shotgun blast full in the face. alas it never happened. so i decided to get online and look for some sort of "Dog" backlash discussion and about halfway through a chat room i realize that they're discussing the questionable "racial purity" of the Dog's oldest son. so i back up a page and realize i've stumbled onto a neo-nazi website with topics like "raising your kids the Aryan way," "trading white cake recipes, and the usual "why the Holocaust didn't happen" gibberish. so here's my question:

why do all these neo-nazis, who are so impressed with Hitler's mass murdering skills, deny that he actually did any of it? that's like saying, "i think Tony Hawk is the greatest skateboarder of all time, and right here (waving an ominous-looking bundle of papers above my head) is the proof that skateboards do not exist."

on a lighter note i also stumbled across a great stupid movie physics website when i finished watching "The Core" and typed the words "bad science core" into google. that horrible movie is a miracle of physics and logic. but i agree it was hilarious for them to name the impossible substance that the plot demanded...wait for it...

"unobtanium."

and thanks to my friend Mark for tipping me off to the release of Walter Hill's, "The Driver" finally on dvd. got "Vanishing Point," "Two-Lane Blacktop" so it'll be good to complete my "Carmageddon!" trilogy.

anyone hear the new White Stripes yet? people requested it last night but the studio didn't have it. the reviews suggest that they re-invented the fucking wheel so i doubt it will live up to the hype. they sure ain't no bucketmen that's for sure.
