In my rush to pick up Somara in time for the evening showing of WALL•E, I forgot to confirm this landmark KMAG achieved. August is always its anniversary month and sometime later, the stream will have played its 800,000th song. … Continue reading →

I should’ve been paying more attention to this landmark since Kate is one of the few musical artists I would grant the title of “genius,” a label too easily thrown about on flash-in-the-pan acts too numerous to name…OK, one, Kurt … Continue reading →

They announced it at the mother of all comic book conventions…San Diego. OK, at the SD House of Blues during the convention. It’s about time too. I know Chris (aka MC Bat Commander) and the gang were working on this … Continue reading →

I never thought I’d ever live to see the day my free CD opener from KUT would ever wear out and need to be replaced. It lasted a few years which was probably 500+ new CDs from Waterloo, Best Buy … Continue reading →

Inspired by a couple recent online conversations with Cindy and Jose, I hunted down all my old souvenirs from my time as Promotions Director of WMUR. It is the 20th anniversary of when I was really involved instead of working … Continue reading →

Last week I finished sifting through all the data involving my stream (KMAG) for 2004, just in time to get rolling on last year! Now I only have 2007 and 2003 remaining to have a complete picture of QTSS’s randomization. … Continue reading →
