Worship on KWVA-FM 

Today's Radio Show and Next Week's Show

You know, doing this show really IS the highlight of my week-and there is no greater joy than sharing my latest musical finds and ideas with an audience of hundreds. And when people call up to say that they are listening and digging it it makes my week complete.
Even better is when a listener writes or e mails me with kudos and some REAL criticism and feedback about what they like or didn't like. One listener today said that I do a great show but that I have been a little too political lately, and I must say that I agree.
When I started the Hangover in January 2003 with the help of my good friend Shawn Mediaclast I envisioned a kind of musical oasis where we could get away from some of the harsh political realities that we are bombarded with throughout the week. In essence a Sunday Morning reflective respite where you could just laugh and mellow out. And this listener was right in pointing out that some of the politics sullens the show.
So if I seem a little apolitical in the future you know why.
Next week or the week after I will be featuring an hour or two of my "Stolen Song Segments" where I demonstrate how pop artists have ripped off lesser knowns and scored big. Stay tuned to KWVA-FM Sunday Mornings at 8 AM-

Another Heatless Saturday

Still no furnace and a week of phone tag with contractors-I don't know how much more of this I can take. I was going to break down and buy a ventless gas fireplace this weekend till I found out how toxic they are. With little money and foot dragging by furnace people I guess we are back to trying to find out how we can fix our broken furnace.
It is snowing right now in parts of Eugene. Yay.
I wish I had more time to:
Make friends
see the few I have
Play
get things done
Have Fun.

But its all WORKWORKWORK
and that makes for a very dull boy.

Did you ever feel like no one gives a crap anyway?

Now this is starting to look like all those other whiney blogs so I will sign off.

Remember When We Hated Reagan? 

For Old Farts Only

I found another music blog with some progressive rock downloads-if you like Pink Floyd and King Crimson there is some rare live stuff here. But scroll down a few entries and grab before it diappears --Peter Gabriel's live version of "Humdrum".
I saw this tour in the 70's and I forgot how great it was.

God Song by Robert Wyatt

God Song (Wyatt, Miller)

What on earth are you doing God? is this some sort of joke you're playing?
Is it 'cause we didn't pray?
Well I can't see the point of the words without the action
Are you just hot air breathing over us? and overall
is it fun watching us all?
Where's your son? we want him again
Next time you send your boy down here
Give him a wife and a sexy daughter - someone we can understand
Who's got some ideas we use really relate to
we've all read your rules - tried them. Learned them in school then tried them
They're impossible rules you've made us look fools
Well done God but now please
don't hunt me down for heaven's sake! You know that I'm only joking. Aren't I?
Pardon me - I'm very drunk but I know what I'm trying to say
And It's nearly night time and we're still alone waiting
For something unknown Still waiting
So throw down a stone or something
Give us a sign for Christ's sake

It Could Be Colder 

My Furnace Died

It is so cold in our house since our heater died-now we have to go out and find a new one and spend 1-2K which we do not have--
I am so bummed out ,what a great Christmas present,thank u Lord.

NEU!!!

20 Jazz Funk Greats is another cool weblog that currently has a link to one of my all time favorite bands, Neu(pronounced Noy).
Even tho they only existed for a few years in the early 70's they became faves of Bowie, Iggy, and many future punk bands. Just now in the naughts Neu is starting to sound contemporary, and can be heard in bands like Stereolab, Fugazi,and Clinic. Recently Tarentino added them to the Kill Bill soundtack.
Go here for one of my favorite Neu tracks Fur Immer(Forever).

Saturday Morning Hangover 

Happy New Year (-from ABBA's Supertrooper )

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

How's My Driving? 

Why I Don't Party

If I lived in downtown Eugene I would be at eveyone's gigs a lot more often. My dilemma is that I live in JC and I have to DRIVE to get anywhere.
Since I drive for a living and I prefer to have a few drinks when I party I cannot party downtown and then drive home without running interference with all of the cops on 99 waiting to bust the first driver who forgets to use a turn signal. You see if I get pulled over and I have booze on my breath I will have to go the 9 yards and do a booze or drug test. If I flunk it means losing my day job and my livelyhood.
Hence when I party I do it at home where I can drink as cheaply and recklessly as I want to without worrying about driving home.
How do all the clubs and bars stay in business with all of these cops flying like vultures waiting for their next meal? I dunno and I don't want to find out the hard way.
Another thing is that I get up pretty early just to drive 300+ miles a day and I need a solid 8 hours of sleep to do that. So please understand that I don't want to wait up till 11PM to see your band.
I'm an old fart just trying to stay alive.
Thank You.

Berkeley 80's Punk Download

I found on the empty-handed blog a link to a Berkeley punk sampler that has a band I was in during the early 80’s featured—the Art Faggots played a lot of venues like Club Foot,Nexus,and Ollies.


"Lest We Forget" was originally compiled and released by Aaron Elliot of the acclaimed fanzine Cometbus (and drummer for Crimpshrine and Pinhead Gunpowder) in 1991 to document the Berkeley punk scene of the 80's. I don't want to be accused of wild exaggeration by saying the music here is exactly essential (although there's some great stuff here) but it is absolutely essential to appreciate the why, who, and how of what was being created at the time. Their output has had a significant impact on today's music. You can connect the influential dots from this tape to Maximum Rock'n'Roll to Operation Ivy to Green Day to whatever indie/punk act you're listening to right now.

Close to 90 minutes of music are presented here as two rather large MP3 files. Instead of splitting each band's track(s) for individual download, this approach is an effort to preserve the original intent of compilation tape curators - listen to side one in its entirety, flip it, hit play and listen to all of side two. Also, it would have been an incredible amount of work to make separate files for each song and I'm incredibly lazy. Complete liner notes are included too. Enjoy.

Goat Trauma Website

http://www.goat-trauma.org

Don't Be a Victim!

With the number of goat traumas increasing every year, it has become necessary to take measures to protect yourself. With this in mind, the Childhood Goat Trauma Foundation has put together this list of advice.

• Avoid petting zoos. The majority of goat traumas occurring each year take place at petting zoos.

• Stay alert. Goats are deceitful and can hide just about anywhere.

• Stay in civilized areas. While there have been reports of roaming urban goats, most attacks by loose goats take place in less populated areas.

• Be suspicious of all farm animals. While other animals such as sheep, cows and horses are not by any means the violent creatures that goats are, goats frequently lurk within a herd, waiting to take advantage of peoples' trust in such animals.

• There have been some reports of goats avoiding the presence of certain breeds of dogs, but the Foundation has yet to test this theory.

• If you must be in an area where goats are present, stay away from the younger goats. Older goats can be slower, allowing you more time to escape.

• Wearing earth tones in goat-infested areas may offer some protection from goat attack, due their camoflaging abilities.

We have recently learned that goats have learned to climb trees and drop down onto unsuspecting people.

Anyone who wants to adopt THIS Cat contact me... 

Dedicated to You but You weren't Listening...

I know I haven't posted for a while but tis the season to be anxious and depressed and too busy to put up a Christmas Tree. I wonder if I should continue my Hangover radio show-I put so much into it and get such little feedback that I think that maybe it just sucks and no one wants to tell me, or maybe no one has the ability to be up at the early hour of 8 AM Sunday to listen--maybe if I went to a night show on a higher power station like KRVM I would get more listeners.
But you aren't reading this anyway.
Anyhow this Sunday I will be featuring on the Hangover the WORST christmas songs you never heard.
Then Friday(Xmas eve) at 8 AM I will play 2 hours of new wave punk and rock Xmas songs. Saturday Night Christmas night I will be featuing the Beatles Christmas recordings.
Hope you will be there!

Merry F#%in Xmas! 

Call Me Ebenezer..

I don't know about you but I have had it up to HERE with all of this Christmas nonsense. If Jesus himself came down and saw what we did to his birthday he would incinerate us all. It started after Labor Day for Christ's sake! All of this pressure to spend money I don't have , go see people that wouldn't have shit to do with me for the rest of the year,smile and act like this mass hypnosis is all normal. Some broad said to me yesterday "So are you ready for Christmas?" so when I said "No I'm ready for Christmas to be over" I thought she'd have a freakin heart attack.
Just give me a day or two off to have some quiet time with my wife, a little wine some food and one gift exchange thank you.
Bah Humbug is right.

WILD HONEY

Hooray for Honey Vizer and her litany of libidinal pleasures to be had at the Eugene Public Library (11/11)! The Library should reward her as a featured performer in one of the concerts in its sexy rotunda, and let us all have a taste of that wild Honey!
