I have not done an interview in 5 weeks. I’ve been having a hard time finding the motivation, and the artists coming through Colorado have been a little off my scale. I have not been motivated in weeks to do any work on the show, and it has shown. I’m on day 5 of soberness, the longest stretch I’ve been on in MONTHS, and I feel better than ever and more energized and energetic to work on this show. The time off has been good. Regardless of the time off, word is spreading and our download count, despite only releasing […]

Whiskey and Wine
I’ve been drinking waaaay too much since losing my dead end internet warehouse job, but its easy to do. I have a giant bottle of Jack Daniels. I work at a bar. I go to about 20 shows a month. And the booze just keeps on coming. So that’s why this week’s episode is coming in the middle of the day rather than at midnight. I have no real excuses. I’m just busy enjoying my massive amount of free time. The train has to come to an end, and that end is soon… Thank God! I got to meet my […]

Strange Days
Its bizarre how things work themselves out. For the last year and a half I worked at a failing dot com company. The job wasn’t awful, but it was mind numbing in such a way that it hurt to slow down my brain to their operating levels. When I began working at this company, we would work ten hour days, four days a week. We were allowed to bring in our Ipods, and i had a slightly outdated 60gig IPOD with a broken screen. I quickly tired of the massive amounts contained on the device. I sought out something more, […]
