The night we did the anniversary of JFK shooting and interviewing all those biker dudes standing in line at the convo centre waiting to see meatloaf...and the interview with the KENNEDY WAS NEVER SHOT author. Fantastic.

Remember shooting cds out the music department office window trying to hit the student center?

Keith.

I do not remember the microphone, but it sounds like how I used to taunt Osama Bin Kennedy, the Amish radiotola. I am surprised he did not fire me, especially when I started coming to ex staff meetings plastered.

The time I tied to suspend the constitution and Luigi Bob was all like, go for it.

I remember interviewing Jimmy Wilson in the staff lounge about Supie T for a film Cellura, Elizabeth, and I were making for class called - Its about love. Robert Banks made one about Supie at the same time. Supie refused to be in ours because he thought we were too low rent for him.

I remember pissing a lot of people off.
Especially Tom Keeper and Nancy Tinta, who I dumped a whole arm load of cassettes on once when she challenged me about processing new materials. She hated me.]]>

John abstaining from every vote possible.

Asking for the minutes of a General Staff Meeting to reflect that at a particular moment, he was happy.

Sticking those "suck my cunt" stickers all over campus. That brought warm smiles.

Throwing paper clips in Bill Kennedy's wastebasket just to get Bill ranting and raving, "These can be re-used!"

John and I doing alternate readings. I would do a paragraph of Marquis de Sade's "Justine" and John would read Milne's "Whinnie the Pooh". RJxP's voice just demanded that he took on the role of Pooh.

John's call for the CSU Caldron to cease publication immediately, unless it went to a full-color glossy stock. Because the Vindicator called itself the newspaper of CSU's black community, John took to calling the Cauldron CSU's white people's paper. That brought warm smiles too.

John ran for student council vice president or president. Almost won, too. That would have been big fun.

He came up to me one day and declared, after years of straight edge living, that he wished to become an alcoholic. Took up smoking, too, the moron.

I don't believe his apologies for a second. Not at all.]]>

I grew bored of doing a straight rock show ("propaganda") and was looking for the escape hatch, but I didn't want to give up broadcasting entirely. I was getting into the kook scene- UFO sightings, extremist politics, perversion, JKF conspirators, etc- and wanted to start incorporating that, but I didn't know how to break with the past and move on. The JFK folks gave me my cue. Get killed on the air.

I didn't want to use a canned gunshot from the BBC sound effects library, but I wanted something that would sound fairly real. I used a light bulb. I put in a small box. I put a microphone above the box. I punched the light bulb. I tripped and knocked over the steel chair, which I thought sounded pretty good given what I was trying to accomplish. I put on a Guided By Voices record and let it play out to the end, skipping for about 15 minutes at the end.

Getting Piche to join the show pretty much killed off what ever carry-over audience there was from Propaganda.

Did you know the Tinklers LP on Shimmy Disc is fetching $50 on ebay? Now that's asshole stoopid!]]>

My first time up at WCSB was in a cattle call of prospective apprentices. There must have been at least 25 of us cramming the hallway between main air and the exit. We were each brought in front of the Executive Staff, one at a time in the Listening Room. When my turn finally arrived I went in and was met by Program Director Wendell Claytor, Business Director Nancy Tinta, Promotions Director X-Tina White, General Manager Bill Kenedy and Music Director the Rev. John Xerxes Piche.

Bill asked me what I wanted to do with my air time. I wasn't entirely sure but I knew I wanted to play a mixture of Punk, Surf and Classical. I also really wanted to do something involving radio theater (I was a big fan of Brainrot), perhaps doing something from or inspired by the Illuminatus trilogy (by Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson). When they asked me if I had any questions, I responded that I wanted to know what type of equipment the station had that could help me in such an endeavour.

Bill brought up a pending purchse of the DR-4 Digital Editing system (which didn't come through until a year and a half later) and then started taking about a radio theater project he wanted to do.

Piche burst out "Yeah right Bill, like your going to ever do that Bill!"

He then unzipped his fly stuck a microphone in his pants and started convulsing in some sort of mock orgasmic frenzy.

His gyrations grew more lewd as he yelled "Tell me more Bill, tell me more Bill, give it to me Bill!"

I had no idea how to react to this. I wasn't sure how the power structure worked at WCSB or what it took to be brought in as an apprentice. What I saw before me was fucking hillarious but pointing and laughing didn't seem to be a good political move. I wish I could say I came up with something witty. I wish I could say that I had a microphone I could have stuck down my pants and then joined in with RJXP"S chorus of "Tell me more Bill, give it to me Bill!"

Honestly though, I just sat there somewhat bewildered wondering what the hell to do. Thankfully the meeting ended and they brought in the next victim.

God Bless RJXP!!!]]>

Kole and I closing out the push bins but actually too lazy to put all the new CDs away, so we just stacked them up in the corner and duct taped the Bill Kennedy drawers shut.

Getting Huggy Bear to play a set on FAGGOT: A Small Bundle of Sticks in the staff lounge.

All the theft of equipment that summer when Vaigl was acting GM when Kennedy was chasing the ponies.

Wendell handing out Ho-Hos whenever anyone on Executive Staff tried to get him to do something for his stipend.

Kole faking his own assignation on the air.

The year I actually LOST money during a radiothon on SMOKING SPIFFS WITH SATAN show.

John Brakeman's prom picture which I took out of some folder he left in the station. Mentioning it on the air and then having him staring me down in the middle of the studio area during Xtina's radiothon show. Lou, Cellura, and Vaigl were all there, pissing their pants in laughter.

Joe Sweeny coming to NYC when I lived there. We drank for nearly 12 hours straight that one day. It was the most horribly brilliant fucked-up I have ever been.

That long night I spent at kinkos laying out the fold out CUTNPASTE program grid guide the night/morning it went to the printer's.

Bill Kennedy's mustard sandwiches.

Fighting in Executive Staff meetings about whether or not we should build new shelves for the CDs. Trying to get more people to play older vinyl on the air. Towing the good line against the corporatization of underground music.

The show Kole and I did the night after Kurt Cobain killed himself. The show I did after GG died. The whole show where I played nothing but station id carts, the weekend before we added the disc machine thingy.

Trying to stop wainsted from putting the station's broadcast feed on the "internet."

etc. et. al.

I would like to officially and heartily apologize to anyone who's feelings I might have hurt.]]>

Don't just hang that on Wainstead. We all smelled bad.

I've always believed it was the cork that lined the walls of the production studio, main air, and what was the old newsroom. I would go home and it would be remarked that I 'smelled like the station'. Truly, the last time I was at WCSB (Oct '02), I could smell the cork from the 9th floor elevators.]]>

I think that the one story that I tell the most is about how in May 2003, near the anniversary of the Kent State shootings, Steve's Folk was having Alan Canfora, one of the students who was shot, on his show (right after mine) on Thursday morning. On my show, I played the Dandy Warhols' version of "Ohio" because I liked to try to mention the anniversary ever year. When Alan Canfora came in, he actually asked about that version of "Ohio" and said it was the coolest he ever heard and asked for a copy of it. That's a hell of an endorsement to get for your version of "Ohio"--from one of the students who was shot.

It's kind of funny to me now because of what the Dandy Warhols would become after that era when they did "Ohio" (that was the "Tales from Urban Bohemia" era). Yuck!]]>
