Airwave Talkie Box
Tomorrow evening I will be interviewed on a wonderful radio show called “Sprout and the Bean” on WLFM in Wisconsin. The show starts at 8:30pm Central Time. Some wonderful verbatim information straight from the host of the show about the station:
“The radio-station’s main claim to fame is hosting the “Great Midwestern Trivia Contest” which is a 50 hour non-stop trivia contest that happens every January where people keep themselves up with caffeine or other aids and participate in this contest that has been around since the 60’s. Since the internet the questions have become a lot harder since people can easily use the internet to find the answer to traditional questions. At the end there are “super” questions that are really intense like: In Washington D.C. what is graffitied onto the dumpster next to the Starbucks on Grant and Berring. This kind of question could only be successfully answered if someone knew a person in Washington D.C. who could go to that intersection and see exactly what is graffitied onto the dumpster within the time-limit. So it’s a crazy trivia contest and people make teams all over the world. It is the longest running trivia contest anywhere!”
Pretty groovy stuff. In a similar radio vein, I had a blast guest DJing at KUSF this past Friday. Upon review of the tracks I played, I realized anyone tuning in would most likely have thought they were listening to a new classic rock radio station, but alas, I had fun.
In other radio related news, I am happy to say that “26″ is getting some decent airtime and is charting in the CMJ top 200 albums right now! It comes out in a mere week.
