Rockcast Thursday.01.21.10a; Birdinumnums, Pearl Jam,Spocks Beard, L.A. Guns, April Wine, Yusuf Islam, Uncle Kracker.

Wires are running every where but lose. Adding new
equipment to the studio is always a fun time for yours
truly. Plus every year after the holidays the Studio is
always trashed.  So it is an optimum time to 'upgrade".
New microphone cables should go a long way. If you
are wondering I use Marshal MXL mics. Plus for
instruments I use Sennheiser mics.  Also Qsc Amps.
Makie mixers. Technic Pro turntable. Akai, Teac &
Pioneer open reel tape decks. Plus JVC dual cassette
deck. Marantz, Maganavox, Vector Research &
Sharp CD decks are also in the rack although rarely
do I use these now. Open reel players are great for
restoring old 1/4 inch reel tapes. Restore than make
a CD copy to play. Works great.  Enough kibitzing,
give the set a listen while I rewire these monitors.

Rockcast Wednesday.01.20.10a; Bigfoot Chester, Alice Cooper, Allen Toussaint, Chicago, Autograph, Bang Tango, Fastway

There is a recently released book out of Washington
that has Senator Harry Reid in trouble for making
inappropriate remarks on the campaign trail in '08.
In a case of "he said", Reid is quoted as saying things
about the Presidents skin tone and the fact he can
speak ebonics when he feels like it. Ouch! These
comments were overheard by the Author as Reid was
talking to another. Now from the same book comes
word that former President Slick Willie Clinton made
an on the side comment about how it was funny that
President was elected. According to the book Bill
said some thing about ten years ago Obama would
have been serving him coffee. When I first read the
quote I took it as the then unknown Obama would
of been low man on the totem pole. Everybody in
the office knows the Newbie makes and gets the
coffee. Then I turn on the tube and see the idiots
on the psuedo news channels yelling RACISM!
If Barry O was a white guy this would have
never been an issue. Just pure hateful bile spewing
from these arseholes mouths. How and why are these
lowlifes on the air? Worse, why are there people
listening and believing them? Feeble minds are
easily swayed. Lots of Feeble minds it seems.
Whats this World coming to?

Rockcast Tuesday.01.19.10a; Chemical Brothers, Semi Precious Weapons, The Ting Tings, The Beatles, The Only Ones, The Buckinghams, Spoon, Christine McVie, The Knack, Monsters Of Folk

First off, Yes the set is dated  011610 not 19. Secondly,
The Ting Tings Guitarist/vocalist's name is Katie not Kelly,
or what ever it was I said. Plus Richard Hell was a Voidoid
before the Only Ones. Sometimes I get to having so much
fun doing this I mess up. Nothing really serious and most
probably would'nt even notice. Now that the corrections are
made let us get on with it.
