Last post twenty days ago... No good. I have a lot on my mind these days, which is my excuse currently for not updating much. I used to just be lazy. Wait, I'm still lazy, but trying not to be as to better my life. Man this blog is pretty boring. I'm excited about this weekend because I'm off to Richmond, VA for the NAHBS to do bicycle related things. I have no clue what to expect, but I wish I had my new bike for the trip. Oh well. This is the last hoorah for Bikecycle and me. Some people name their bikes, and when I finally decided I should, I knew I'd be getting a new one so Bikecycle it is. My buddy will be receiving Bikecycle, so he'll be in good hands. One of my besties is leaving Nashville for NYC for about three months. She made the observation that it was ironic she felt closer to everyone just as she's about to leave. I feel the same about her and my bike. I'll survive.

Anyhow, new music..... It's hard to keep up with as I'm usually adding to my collection pretty regularly. I've been building my vinyl collection up the past year and a half with a lot of things that I love and wanted on vinyl. Last week saw the addition of Bad Religion - No Control (my favourite) and Adolescents' self titled record. Also as a gift I received Maximum Rocknroll's vinyl only rerelease of the comp Welcome to 1984. Haven't had the chance to listen to it yet which makes me hurt inside. Buy it here. Read Felix Havoc's review of it here.

I wanted this post to be so much more, but alas. The Tussin is kicking in and bedtime is nigh. If I don't update before then, make sure to listen tomorrow (of course) but especially next week (March 3) as it will be the eve of my birthday, and I'm sure I'll play something super rad (not really) as Midnight hits. I don't think Insomniac Motel will mind tooooo much.

For internet funnies sake, here are the two youtube videos I've featured on my radio show...

Bacon is Good for Me:

Charlie the Unicorn:

Laugh or cry... it all sounds the same.


And here's one just for the bicycle kids out there:

Over and out.

NEW TIME!

For the Spring semester, The Backchannel Broadcast will be from 23:00-midnight every Wednesday. It will be different having a slot where there are DJs before AND after me. That hasn't happened to me yet, so it looks like I won't be doing too much extra special. Ah well, it will just force to me to cram everything into an awesome sixty minutes every week. Anyhow, the fun starts tonight.
