Hey gorgeous,
As you may know, because all the beautiful people know it, I have a radio show Tuesdays at 8 PM. It’s called The Voices in Your Head because I hitcha with a schizophrenic all sorts of different sounds, which defy both genre and reality. Verily, it’s a varied meddly of many deadly and beautiful melodies, but there is usually some sort of greater theme connecting them all together. For instance: Goats, or the end of the world. Stuff like that.
This week I’ll be serving up delicious helpings of beat poetry, and that’ll be the theme I guess. No, it’s not a very good theme as far as themes go. But as far as an excuse to show you some awesome beat poetry, it’s pretty perfect. Give it a listen yo.

A word of warning before I begin: My brain is currently dribbling out my ears from mid terms. Therefore coherency is not going to be a strong point for this entry. And now we commence…
Last night was the last “regular” show I’ll be hosting until March 22 and it went pretty well. The fact that I was physically and mentally exhausted didn’t impede things too much and I actually ran under when I was worried I would end up running over. All in all a good way to leave things until the 22nd. So here’s this week’s run down:
Playlist

So this week’s show was basically last week’s show. Played and talked this week. And man was it fun. And a lot shorter than I was expecting, but I guess that’s the difference between one hour and two hours, eh?

News Items

• 2010 was the worst year for rock since 1960. And anyone who’s been forced to listen to mainstream radio is not surprised.
• Limewire will fight the system until it can’t anymore. And then it will play the music industry a billion dollars. Because that’s how the music industry rolls.
• Neil Diamond and a bunch of other people will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yay them.

So that’s it until next week. Same bat time, same bat place.

*As mentioned on the show this week’s playlist was put on shuffle and whatever happens, happens. However I didn’t bother to write down what happened. Sue me.
