Playlist & Footnotes

This show was part of the on-air celebrations I've been having lately to celebrate my 12th radio-versary. I may write more about my memories and experiences regarding radio in that time, but for now, you should entertain yourself with the Playlist & Footnotes from the retrocast of "The Beginning," which tells part of the story of how I got involved in radio in the first place. I have had so many amazing experiences as a DJ in the last 12 years, and I really couldn't have done it without the listeners. If you are one, consider yourself thanked. I love you to pieces.

This show is also part of the KPSU Pledge Drive that is going on for the next two weeks. If you can afford it, I would love to see you make a donation to the cause. Listeners donations really do make a huge difference in our ability to stay on the air, and every bit helps. In honor of Pledge Drive, I am offering a special CD compilation called, Good Morning Portland, featuring recordings made on Blasphuphmus Radio in the last 6 years. These are live, in-studio performances by local bands who have been kind enough to share their music with us, and you can only hear it on our show. Now you can get a CD of the best performances from those recordings, all by donating to KPSU's Pledge Drive. Those of you who tuned in to hear last year's Pledge Drive shows (here and here) got a chance to hear the CD already, and know what to expect from a deal like this.

I know on the air I said that if people pledged $20 they could get this CD, but give the state of the economy and how poor everyone is these days, if you many any financial donation to KPSU, I will send you the CD. Listener support is really important, and every little thing helps. Just drop me a line telling me who you are and when you donated, and I'll send out your CD immediately. It means that much to me.

That's it for this week. I promise not to be so text-heavy next week. Less talk, more rock.

See ya in seven.
