The Wayback Machine

Greetin’s cretins,

It’s been a long time coming, but you can now FINALLY listen to archived episodes of The Wayback Machine anytime you damn well please. No need to rearrange your Monday night schedules to listen live anymore (although you’re still welcome to do that, as if…). So, to hear how crappy and unprofessional I sound on FM radio in St. Louis, just hit the link below, then click the “STREAM” button next to the date of the show you wanna hear…

http://www.kdhx.org/programs/waybackmachine.htm

So far there are only two shows there, but that’s better than none!

Stay sick,
kopper

Well I did it. I got interviewed last night at KDHX after The Wayback Machine for Superfan, the Beatle Bob documentary. The girl that’s doing it is very sweet and somehow charmed me into it, but I’m glad she did. I think what I had to say needed to be said, I was just reluctant to do it myself because I get so tired and bored with the whole Beatle Bob topic. I wish people would get excited and talk about our great local bands like they do about some kook who dances in the audience, lies to bands, and steals stuff. I also learned quite a bit about this enigmatic loon in the process. All I gotta say is this is probably going to one very interesting doco… It’s supposed to come out next spring. Watch for it.

I sent an email to Steve at The Royale this morning cancelling my next two DJ spins there. I’m just too busy with house projects, family summer plans, managing the GaragePunk Podcast, doing my regular radio show and lots of other crap to have the free time I really need to plan out and execute a successful spin every month. Plus, the last couple times I spun very few people (friends or otherwise) came out to hear it, and the people who were there would come up with off-the-wall, inappropriate requests like Led Zeppelin, the Jackson 5, Gnarls Barkley(!) or some shit, so I’m a bit disillusioned about this whole DJing thing. I might pick it up again in the fall if things slow down a bit and I can get caught up on some of these house projects (that’s what you get when you buy an 80-year-old house… it continually needs TLC), but for right now I’m steering clear of the DJ booth.
