Sirius Radio, You Really Blew It.

Oh well. It was good while it lasted, but this relationship isn't going anywhere, and it can't, seeing as you've changed so much. I asked you months ago, would you be making radical changes? I asked you before I signed up and paid ahead for a year of service, because you said you'd not be dumping my favorite channels, but oooh, you did. You lied. You and your little puppy dog logo. I think it's time you updated your look, Sirius/XM, and put the puppy out of the picture just as you did to so many good channels and DJ's. I'm only hanging around, like that poor little puppy, to see if you change your tune. I filed my complaint/feedback the afternoon you removed BOOMBOX. 27 minutes on the phone with a rep, detailing every reason why I signed up, and why I should cancel, why I shouldn't pay for most of your channels now and why I did pay previously. I hope you pay attention to your customers, because I know it's not just the electronica listeners (Boombox, Area 33), or the punk listeners, or even the hard rock listeners who are really ticked off. It's people who span all genres of music. They're all disgruntled. No one is happy. It's time to sit around that big table and think.

Here's a taste of what's on the net about this disaster.

Sirius-XM Merger Kills Punk, Promotes AC/DC

By Scott Thill September 19, 2008 | 8:00:00 AM

Wonder powers, deactivate! If you were a Sirius or XM subscriber, as well as a fan of Fugazi, Dead Kennedys, The Clash, Ramones, Black Flag and more, then you're probably not too happy that the twin titans of satellite radio merged. Because all of the bands you love will be replaced with one you can hear on any rock station on any given day of the week.

Sirius and XM to Begin Music-Station Merge November 12th

11/7/08, 1:50 pm EST

On November 12th, both Sirius and XM Radio listeners might find that their favorite channel is misplaced or even missing as the two satellite radio companies begin to merge their stations. The consolidation was first revealed on XM Escape, which announced in a promo that it would make the leap from Channel 78 to 28. The merge date was also confirmed by a DJ on Sirius’ the Pulse. The merge actually started in the weeks following the XM/Sirius deal, as Howard Stern was added to XM’s lineup after being Sirius’ marquee star. Neither Sirius nor XM has announced the realigned station breakdown, but Sirius’ oldies icon Cousin Brucie will reportedly become available on XM, meaning XM’s own oldies station is in danger of becoming dead air. Other genres across the board will also face similar showdowns between their cross-radio counterparts. As long as we can still find Eminem’s Shade 45 station (where he tends to announce major career news) and Bob Dylan’s dispatches, we should be okay. After years in anti-trust limbo, Sirius and XM finally joined forces in July to form Sirius XM.

And last, but NOT least:

Boombox went off the air on Sirius XM in the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 after almost three amazing years. I designed Boombox as my ideal radio station - all breaks, all the time. It came on the air after I wrote an epic proposal for Sirius Satellite Radio about improving their dance lineup. As a result of unbelievable support and trust from senior management - especially Senior VP of Music Programming Steve Blatter - I was privileged to be able to be a key player in getting three new channels - Chill, Area and Boombox - on the air. Boombox started as a pure breaks channel but, after some (as it turned out, much-needed) guidance from Blatter, moved in a more breakbeat/rock remix/bootleg/mashup direction after the first year. 

I’m extremely proud of all the great music we played and for all the people who have written me to thank me for turning them on to artists and mixes they would have never heard without Boombox. It was a great run on a big stage and I am thankful for every day Sirius management let us get away with airing a whole station with nothing but the best remix-tronica available.

I especially want to thank Steve Blatter (for giving us the green light and then a massive amount of support), Jeff Regan (for being the glue that held the whole thing together and for being a damn fine programmer), Geronimo (for helping get Boombox, Chill and Area on the air and for never wavering in his support for my crazy ideas), DJ Icey (for doing “Automatic Static” on Boombox every week without fail - a truly legendary radio show), Gregg Steele (for supporting the channel and empowering us to play what we thought was best), S-Dot and Vanessa (for all their essential behind the scenes work), Kool DJ Red Alert (for his short-lived but great midday show) and everyone else who pitched in to make Boombox happen every day. I especially would like to thank all the wonderful Boombox listeners. We would have been nothing without our faithful and ever watchful audience of super cool cats.

I will continue to play great music on Sirius XM as my Zeros+Ones show moves over to Alt Nation (and maybe even gets a new name) in the weeks ahead.

A Colorful Life

New York Daily Photo: A Colorful Life

My son's father is a Deadhead. I am not. Harry's daddy just left to run the soundboard for a Dead style jam band that is playing out here on Long Island tonight. My son is sitting beside me, using his computer, an eMac, playing Dr. Suess's ABC's. I was browsing New York Daily Photo, and I came across this photo just as my fiancé was leaving to do the gig.

People stereotype Deadheads all the time. People always assume hippies do drugs. This blog is a must read. The owner of this colorful bus is Kat O'Sullivan, and if anyone is living life to it's fullest, it's Kat. You could say she's already lived life to it's fullest. 

As an artist and a supporter of the DIY community, I am in awe of this woman. I'm jealous! She's doing what she wants to, what she loves and she doesn't have to ask for help from anyone. She makes wonderful handmade clothing; I am very partial to handmade arm warmers and cuffs in the inter, and hers are just so colorful.

Last, but not least, she is amazing. She worked with Mother Teresa. She dumped a job with no meaning and hitchhiked to Timbuktu. You just can't make things like that up. This is a site you must check out when you have some free time. Not many people can just get up, leave it all behind and do what she's done.

I know this blog isn't written well, but I had to type it up quickly since my son needs some help with the mouse. He's 22 months old, and his mousing skills are not the best…yet. When they are, I can't let his computer near the cable connection.

UPDATE: I just don't have time to blog about this nutter twice.

Here's the link to the original information, and from there you can find all the facts on this woman who has stalked me for so long, it's utterly outrageous.

This is a doozy. This woman is stalking me. Now she's rabid. RABID!

I kid you not. It's not even funny. She won't stop harassing me, and others.

To her, I say:



I just don't have time to blog about her now.

That Big, Mean Pot Keeps Bullying the Kettle and Calling it BLACK!

OH MY! Her *blog is so full of hate, too! It's so...IMPROPER!
THIS WOMAN is a nutter. E-bullies are NOT always mentally insane. What is pitiful about this one in particular is that she's 49 years old, single, with a daughter she had when she was around 27 years old (most likely from a fling with some random guy, because trust me, this is one hell of a nutter) and she spends all her time claiming she's soooo busy, yet she stalks people online and then blogs about them, with HATE and libel. Doesn't she have anything else to do?

I asked this wackjob to cut the shit, take the libel down, remove copyright infringement and cease and desist all harassment. What did she do? Escalate! Yeesh! Some of her stories are so out there, she must have one hell of a stash up there in New England. I don't just mean green stuff either. She must go into the woods with a wicker basket and come out with one full, if you know what I mean.

Fucking people...crazy in the coconut.

Shocking. MySpace is CENSORING users' blogs and bulletins. What a surprise!

Not shocked.

A little Ha Ha from The Gothamist on Palin…oh, oh I'll Miss Her.

Ha ha ha, NO. I hope a wolf pack bites her ass off.

As we know, I LOVED Sarah Palin. PFFFT! Thank goodness this freak isn't getting into the White House. WHEW! I was worried, yet deep down, I knew that McCain couldn't win with this wacko as his running mate. Choosing her was his biggest mistake, and THANK GOD! I knew people that were on the fence, and once Palin was at McCain's side, blabbering with that creepy smile, not one was still even thinking McCain. Ha! Cry more, Sarah.

Cry, Republicans, cry. Boo hoo hoo. But do us all a favor and cry in your own room or in the restroom. We're all so tired of hearing you people whine since the election. Fair is fair; what did you want? Another theft? Seriously now, you can't pull that off twice in a row. Maybe next time, crybabies.

I just read this and found some of the comments amusing. Enjoy.

Palin Calls Post-Election Attackers "Jerks"

Sarah Palin came out swinging yesterday at insider attacks against her that surfaced after Tuesday's election calling them "cowardly." She also said that those from the McCain camp who leaked out implications that she didn't know which countries were involved in NAFTA and whether or not Africa was a continent were "jerks" and that the comments were taken out of context. Other campaign aides came to Palin's back yesterday, no more than McCain adviser Nicole Wallace. Wallace made headlines in the waning days of the campaign as internal tensions boiled over into the press by saying she would lie under a bus if those in her camp were throwing her under one. Yesterday she said that Palin was “perhaps the most un-diva politician I've seen" and that "the only thing I’ve seen her ask for is a diet soda.” Palin later confirmed the diet soda comment, specifying it was a Diet Dr. Pepper.

1. Does anybody care about her? Can we go back to a time where nobody outside of Alaska had any idea who she was? She has done nothing to warrant so much coverage post-election.
2. How is this relevant to New York? I understand some election stuff is, but this certainly isn't.

"Palin continues to be savaged by the neo-libs"
Actually, she's being savaged by the angry GOPers who blame her for the loss. Which is not totally inaccurate if you look at the polling and how much of a drag she was on the ticket. I love how the Republicans are engaged in vicious infighting now. It's so entertaining!

Would one rather be an intelligent jerk or an likeable imbecile? Tough choice there. Not.
So now she understands how brutal national politics can be. It took her this long? Just about every voter knows it's a knock down, drag out blood sport. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen, Sarah. Oops, now she'll accuse me of being sexist. Well, at least if it makes her so upset, hopefully she'll never run again.
Why were there blue balloons in her office? Was some staffer trying to rub her nose in her defeat?

After George Bush Senior lost his re-election to Bill Clinton, VP Dan Quayle ran for the Republican nomination 4 years later by appealing to the same core conservative base Palin wants. He failed badly by polling about 1% of Republican voters.

Why would Palin do any better in 2012?

The republicans never REALLY represented the people they say they stood for anyway. Their strategy was always a transparent lie to support the rich. She is hopefully the last gasp of that fake ingenuous crap. That's not politics. That's snake oil. Hopefully good people across the country (religious, family values, blah blah blah) will start to get it through their heads. The trickle down "free" market economy ends up being the golden shower upon the middle class and poor. Sarah Palin is the last gasp of that fake rhetoric. Good she appeared. Maybe people will wise up. Now she can just go away.

Sad, sad Libs with all their hate.

I give you about 3 months before you turn on your own golden boy in the WH.

Gov Palin is a decent public servant who has worked tirelessly in the service of her country and party which is far more than most of you pathetic basement dwellers.

I'd hang out to see how many of sorry compulsive commenters told me to "Go back, uhhh, SOMEWHERE!", but some of us have families and, you know, real people in our lives with whom to spend time.
But knock yourselves out, I'm sure its more meaningful to you than to actually have a reason to live.

'Gov Palin is a decent public servant who has worked tirelessly in the service of her country and party.' You have some pretty interesting standards for 'decent'....
1 bridge to nowhere
2 troopergate
3 racebaiting, terrormongering idiot
4 former mayor of the meth capital of the world
5 shat on community organizing, you know, what people who don't have money do when the system fails them and they react to change their circumstances. but fuck that right?
6 pipeline to nowhere whose planning threatens the disenfranchisement of First Nations groups
THAT DOG DON'T HUNT.
The hateful ones are the shit-eating morons who spent drumming up bigoted, racist, and close minded rhetoric when they couldn't win on the issues. The idea that people who oppose Palin are rootless is just yet another slur by the gurgling, dying Republican party. Wah, education bad, wah!

"Palin continues to be savaged by the neo-libs even after the election. "
Hugo Mego: Like most repugnicans, you either cannot or will not accept any reality other than the one you have created. Every one of these charges against Palin has come from inside McCain's campaign... and there were no "neo-libs" there. NONE! It is her own repugnican insiders who actually tried to work with her who are spilling the beans. Typical right wing moron: see something you disagree with and it MUST be the fault of the Liberals and the Democrats, none of whom have been smearing Palin. It's the people from your own party who have a brain and hate the "know-nothing" wing (sorry, but that's you) that their party has sold out to. Ronald Regan (senile), Dan Quayle (laughable), McCain (senile), Palin (high school records show an astounding I.Q. of 83!), George W. Bush (how's THAT workung out?). Some jobs really should be held by the smart guy or gal... not the idiot with a few wisecracks! Why do you hate America so much that you want someone with an I.Q. of 83 sitting in the Oval Office? It's not slinging burgers, but I suppose that you've never thought of that.
By the way, you use the term "neo-lib", but I doubt that you actually can give me a definition without cheating and looking it up.

There are plenty of reasons to dismiss Sarah Palin, but don't undercut your argument by invoking spurious information. No plausible source backs the "IQ of 83" claim. If I were to make an educated guess, I'd say she's about average, in the 95-105 range.

So Ted Stevens is expelled from the Senate since he's now a convicted felon. They have to hold a special election to replace him. Palin could have nominated herself to fill his seat while the election is being held but oh no, that would look self-serving. So she chooses a useful idiot and then runs for that empty seat and wins. She gets six years in the Senate, long enough to irritate us all into dressing like a moose. That cunt isn't ever going away.

In an early interview, McCain asked Palin if she knew the capital of Alaska?

She hesitated and responded in that dumb accent, "No, ju know?"

McCain, in a senior moment, thought she answered correctly, Juneau, and decided she was smart enough to be vice-president.
