Trying To Figure Out What To Do With The Rest Of My Life (Phase I Episode Episode 118)

What Should I Do With The Rest Of My Life? It’s a question that’s been weighing on my head lately. As I blast through an hour of songs that I try to use as a soundtrack to that all-important question, I urge callers to give me their advice between plugging some upcoming shows (like, the awesome Mustaphamond show tomorrow). I also feature a song by ex-bandmates Angry Foriegn Roomate, and continue to anticipate the super-bad-ass up-coming Mission Of Burma album. I send everyone off with a little Gnarls Barkley, the best album of this year.  9 P.M. – 10 P.M.

The Beginning Of A New Era (Phase I Episode 107)

First 9 PM Wednesday Show! New Time! In honor of this momentous occasion, I decided to pull out a lot of improvisational music, probably partially motivated by the Noise Jam we had on Sunday (still available for download here and here). Again, this show was too good to do sitting down. Since I’m surrounded by such good DJs before and after, it was tough going at first, but once I got the first song blasting, I knew it was gonna be alright. Token Coachwhips and Hospitals songs aside (I just can’t get enough of them), this show has a little bit of everything, which is probably a good place for new listeners to start with. Here’s to the beginning of a wonderful new era in The Church’s History! Praise Earl!

Another Math-ternoon of Rock (Phase I Episode Episode 105)

I just can’t seem to get enough of the rock lately, and so this week I knocked over all the chairs and had a solo dance-party in the booth amped up on nothing more than the summer sun and a few cups of coffee. Interjected long enough to do Hella ticket giveaways, I cracked up the stereo and blasted out everything that sounds good LOUD. Obligatory Coachwhips, Hospitals and Men’s Recovery Project aside, this is another math-ternoon of rock, complete with ass-shaking, belly achin’, and groin-waggin’ of the most extreme degree. This is the one you’ll want blastin’ at that house party this weekend, or from the boom box tied to your bike as you cruise through the park. Can I get a hell yeah?

Block of Rock (Phase I Episode 104)

It’s Finals Week here on the PSU campus, and while I’ve been cramming for my WWII final Thursday morning, I decided I needed a good soundtrack to help make sense of everything. With that in mind I immediately reached for everything I could find that ROCKED THE FUCK OUT, pausing only briefly to insert a few weird dance tunes, and then wrap things up with a Math-tacular Block of Rock. If you need a soundtrack that’ll help you keep all the names, dates, equations, formulas, and anything else you’re being tested on afloat in your pretty little head, then this is the show for you. This show also includes brilliant excerpts from the most peculiar album ever released, “Astro Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000,” guaranteed to make you go… “Hmmmmmm?”

A Math-ternoon of Rock (Phase I Episode Episode 102)

Given that my show has largely become an outlet for live performances in recent months, I found myself showing up at the station today with no band to speak of! With Pledge Drive under our belt, this gave me the opportunity to pull out and play a lot of the new stuff I’ve been groovin’ to lately that I’ve had to put on hold in recent weeks for one reason or another. With a can of Sprite in one hand and a large bowl of Pad Thai in the other, I tear through a math-ternoon or Rock and showcase the strangeness that’s been making my ass move lately, with quick stop into some of the psyche and punk that always hits the spot. With the weather looking as good as it does today, it’s recommended to pop this show into your listening device of choice and hit the streets as the joys and beauty of the impending summer tantalize you visually, too.

(Update: Apparently, this show was so powerful, that KPSU shut down and could not broadcast for several hours afterward. Immediately after I finished my show this week, there was a power surge [or, as I like to think of it, a “Rock” surge] that shut down the entire station. When we came back up again moments later, we were unable to establish a connection with our tower, and couldn’t broadcast for some time afterward. Yet again, it just goes to show the power of the Church. Praise Earl!)

Dance The Afternoon Away (Phase I Episode Episode 096)

This week, I decided to dance the afternoon away, Blasphuphmus style! We brought out all the hits, new and old, and rock the fuckin’ house… for an hour. I literally scare my co-workers by dancing in the booth, and even manage to find a groove to …Worms and Jandek, strangely enough (who was awesome live, by the way). Highlights include me missing my cue transitioning between the first two songs, mis-pronoucing the name of a Hungarian band, and working the Minutemen into a show where they would otherwise feel severely out of place. Guaranteed to keep your booty shakin’ and your brow heavily furrowed.

Cuidado (Phase I, Episode 087)

Today’s show was all about rock: I picked out the rockin’-est songs I could think of (most of which have been stuck in my head this week for various reasons), and cranked up the volume at KPSU. This also features my all-time new favorite band ever (The Reigning Sound), and my all time favorite song by them (“Time Bomb High School”). This show was pretty much designed to keep me dancing and bopping while I hung out at the station for an hour, and that’s no small feat. If you need to shake your ass, try this show on for size.  5 P.M. – 6 P.M.

Feeling Frisky (Phase I Episode 083)

Today I was feeling a little frisky, so all the songs are ones I think of (or want to listen to) when I’m in the mood. I think it worked pretty well, and I had some of the best transitions I’ve done in quite a while. I’m thinking about cutting out the voice overs and commercials and trying out this show the next time I get a pair of bedroom eyes from someone.  5 P.M. – 6 P.M.
