October 20 show

Sorry for missing last week's blog posting, but I was having a bit too much fun on-air.

Anyway, this week, I decided to open things up with a Ramones set, which meant:

• Blitzkrieg Bop
• Judy is a Punk
• Pinhead
• Commando
• Teenage Lobotomy
• I Wanna Be Sedated
• I Just to Have Something to Do (snuck in at the end)

Anyway, the listeners' rolls sufficiently rocked, it was time to move on to the show's signature moment, "PRESS START!" This week, to help raise the IQ of my listeners, I set up a show of "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?" And boy, was that exciting, tracking down a dastardly criminal, stealing a cardinal's robes! Sadly, our escapades did not last, for just when we thought we had our man...our fabricated evidence betrayed us, and it turned out we tracked the wrong person! Bah, we failed. Our next endeavor was to retrieve some old Indian art, but we were cut short, and were forced to Abort!
We were awful detectives, and Joe Nichols' "The Impossible" was played to help us reflect on our failures. One box of tissues later, I decided it was time to perk up the mood, and began playing some oldies, including:

• The Kinks - Come Dancing
• Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out
• The Doors - Riders on the Storm

At this point, the show was just about over. I closed the show with a rendition of the Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah." Such was the end of the show.

Oh well...any suggestions, requests, etc. are always appreciated. After all, nothing pleases me, the DJ, more than you doing the work for me!

See you next week.

10-6:

So, what's in Our show today, you ask? An excellent question, given that We sometimes have trouble keeping track of these things Ourselves.

We opened with a block of The White Stripes, specifically:

• Death Letter
• The Hardest Button to Button
• Fell in Love With a Girl
• Icky Thump

Those songs complete, We moved right into our "PRESS START!" segment with Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (The game's punctuation, not Ours), detailing boxer Little Mac's escapades through the Minor and Major circuits of the W.V.B.A. The fights were long and hard, but in the end, Mac triumphed over all obstacles and hardships, like some real-life Rocky Balboa! Such are the tales of triumph. Oh, it brings a tear to Our eye...

Moving on, We launched into a set of Instrumental, non-lyrical songs. These included:

• "YYZ" by Rush
• "Radiator" by Paul Gilbert
• "Green Hornet" by Al Hirt

By then, it was unfortunately the end of Our show. Things were a bit messy today, since We were operating this show almost entirely through an independent computer, not the standard CD player. Oh well...can't win them all. Pity. T'was still a great show, though. And one of the better rounds of "PRESS START" we've had in the program. Very nice.

How it works

You may be wondering, "Golly gosh gee by jingo, G-Man, how's this newfangled Internet radio doohickey work?" Well, to be honest, since we're running through iTunes, I don't know either.
I do know how the original thing works, though. Simply log on to http://www.radiolaspositas.com, then click on the huge logo, and the show shall begin!

I have been scheduled to a 3-4 PM Monday slot. Disappointing, given I was pushing for 1-4 PM Wednesday. But I suppose that's just the way the wall crumbles. Sorry, Boss; guess my show won't have as epic a return as I planned. Oh well; room for negotiations.

Of course, now that I have a proper show, I'll have to explain the format to people. It's pretty simple:

Top of the hour: Block of songs.
Quarter past: "Press Start!" A 15-minute or more segment where I begin playing a video game on air, explaining and riffing on it as necessary. Followed by a block of songs until a quarter past.
Quarter till: "News Update!" I stop the songs and recite a pice of interesting news.
Top of the hour: SHOW OVAH!

That about covers it. Toodles till next time.

The G-Man Returns

Good day, visitors.

I've been gone for a few months, but I'm back. Be fearful, folks: The G-Man has returned! I've been pent up in my own zone of sound for too long, and it's time to bust out and share it with the world once again.

Be ready! The show will be back and new! With:

• More music!
• More games!
• More fun!

Behold, ladies and gentlemen: The G-Man returns! Coming soon!
