May 16th

So, last week was some craziness. Graduation, shows, drinking, and so forth. But damn it feels good to be done with school. As for the downtownsound, I'll be here all summer and the show will be too. Thanks to everyone who came out to student dj's united last Friday. It was a hella good time, although i didn't feel i brought my A-game to the decks (or even my B-game for that matter). But then again, I had just finished a 12 page paper on the cultural norms and premises involved in the persuasive strategies of advertisement's urging adolescents to not use drugs (what?) literally 20 minutes before running over to the Q-bar to go on stage. But people were dancing, and that's all that matters, eh? I wasn't able to make it out to the Angle Alanis show, but i heard it was a bumpin' good time.

Speaking of bumping (and other activities that end in -ing), A Pornstar's Ball 5.0 is going on this weekend up at Woody's in Cedar Rapids. Definitely a good time!

Anyways, tonight's Counterspin was about Iraq and Women (not Iraqi women, but Iraq and then women).

Mel Richards came by the studio tonight to throw down the banging house beats and the sick scratching sounds. Alteration always attracts and arouses another arrestingly almond-colored aardvark. (what??) We got the set recorded, and it should be up whenever i get around to posting the rest of the recorded shows.
