Today you are joyous while I’m filled with rue
Your state is red; my state is blue
I canvassed, I voted, what more could I do?
Your state is red; my state is blue
I want diplomacy, you like a coup
Your state is red; my state is blue
You protect companies I want to sue
Your state is red; my state is blue
You promote abstinence; I like to screw
Your state is red; my state is blue
You say “be strong” and I say “be true”
Your state is red; my state is blue
I said “invasion” and you said “rescue”
Your state is red; my state is blue
I say “homophobia,” you say “value”
Your state is red; my state is blue
My pets go “meow” and your pets go “moo”
Your state is red; my state is blue
I like rights (say, free speech) you want to undo
Your state is red; my state is blue
You like the Cowboys, I side with the Sioux
Your state is red; my state is blue
You think that crap in the Bible is true
Your state is red; my state is blue
You’re killing health care and I’ve got the flu
Your state is red; my state is blue
I fought the good fight, did all I could do
Your state is red; my state is blue
There are millions of me, and yet more of you
Your state is red; my state is blue
Oh Cheney, Cheney, you bastard, I’m through
Your state is red; my state is blue

Well, This Blows
It looks like we are going to have another 4 years of that nitwit GWB. Ohio has gone to Bush and all we can do is resign ourselves to 4 more years of a shitty economy, war and stupidity. I thought that a few drinks would help tonight's election results but all that will be left in the morning will be one Big Sunday Morning George Bush Hangover.

Rev. Marc Time on Tales From the Anti-man TV Show
As you may know, I have appeared on the local CTV show "Tales From the Anti-man" TV show, seen locally 5 times a week on Ch 29 Comcast Cable. Those of you who don't get Comcast can watch the show on the internet at:
http://antiman.dyndns.tv/videos/Archive.html
The last two shows I appeared on are Season 6 episodes 19 and 23.
CAREFUL! These take a while to download, so if you don't have a fast connection you may want to start your download before going to bed.

Snap , Crackle and POP!
KWVA fans may well be familiar with Craig Leve's excellent show on Fridays 10-noon. I will be covering his show as he explains here in his weekly update :
"Hi Northwest Pop fans (and beyond),Gonna have to fill the bowl with an extra helping of Snap, Crackle, POP!as I will be away for much of November. There will be no Snap, Crackle,POP! next week; and a couple "When the Hangover Strikes" editions later in the month on Nov. 12 and Nov. 26 when the Rev. Marc Time graciously fills in. Marc can usually be heard on Sunday mornings in his usual 8am-10am time slot for "The Sunday Morning Hangover"."
Anyways I will most likely cover Grrl pop in one show and maybe my massive 45rpm collection in the other. Always available on the net at www.kwvaradio.org

John Peel R.I.P.
I woke up today and checked out one of my fave blogs, Kingblind, only to learn that one of the best radio announcers of all time has died, John Peel was kind enough to feature my band Bo on a couple of his broadcasts, generating fan mail for us from England, Poland and Greece.
From Kingblind:
Veteran DJ John Peel, 65, has died. He suffered a heart attack shortly after being taken ill during a working holiday in the city of Cuzco, Peru, with his wife Sheila. John Peel was a DJ on BBC Radio 1 since it was founded. His evening radio show occupied a unique position in British popular music, popularising such diverse acts as Jimi Hendrix, Marc Bolan and the Sex Pistols. "He passed away. We don't have any details. We received a phone call at 4am from his brother to inform us," said Jonathan Clare, a British embassy official in Lima. The BBC in London said Peel was on a working holiday in Cuzco with his wife, Sheila. Radio 1 Controller Andy Parfitt said "John Peel was a broadcasting legend. I am deeply saddened by his death as are all who work at Radio 1. John's influence has towered over the development of popular music for nearly four decades and his contribution to modern music and music culture is immeasurable. "Hopeful bands all over the world sent their demo tapes to John knowing that he really cared. His commitment and passion for new music only grew stronger over the years. In fact, when I last saw him he was engaged in a lively debate with his fellow DJs over the state of new music today. He will be hugely missed. " The BBC's director of radio and music, Jenny Abramsky, said: "John Peel was a unique broadcaster whose influence on Radio 1 could be felt from its very first days. "He nurtured musicians and listeners alike introducing them to new sounds. His open minded approach to music was mirrored by his equally generous approach to his audience when he went to Radio 4 to present Home Truths. He had a remarkable rapport with all his listeners. Everyone at BBC Radio is devasted by the news. John is simply irreplaceable. Our hearts go out to Sheila and his children." Peel, born John Ravenscroft in 1939, was one of Britain's original pirate radio disc jockeys in the 1960s, broadcasting from ships anchored just outside British waters that won huge followings. Peel was his assumed "pirate" name. In the late 1970s he championed punk rock to the consternation of many of his radio contemporaries who were still playing rock supergroups - and were convinced the new music fad would never had any real impact. Peel was awarded an OBE for his services to British music.

Letter to Eugene Weekly
SHAWN'S MY MAN
Regarding the "Corporate Whores" letter (9/23), I, for one, truly will be asking myself why I wasn't as cool as Shawn Mediaclast upon my corporate judgment day. I have not met another person so supportive of truly indie ventures as Mr. Mediaclast.
"Why did I write metaphor laden letters to the editor rather than venturing downtown for some real conversation? Why did I even care enough to make hipster jokes and name drop Pabst? Oh damn, I'm bleeding on my khakis." Thus will be the dying thoughts of Kris Bluth.
I know no other store in this town that caters to people like me. People seeking new vinyl, needing the seventh bottle of Atomic Pink hair dye of the month, needing someone who's intellectual but not a pompous asshole to talk with. Hell, what if I just want to go somewhere to talk about robots or art or Devo? Shawn's my main man.
Yeah. This is my response. I am one of those purple haired alternababes, I would also probably swill Pabst like none other if I was of legal age, but hell, at least I know where the good people are at.
Ahhhh Kris, you clever son of a gun. You got us hipsters again! Caught in the act wearing Converse and shopping at the best indie record store in town. Does it really matter?
