May Day! New Podcast! Clark and Michael! Futurama Returns!

Hope everyone had a good May Day! on the 1st. Whether you were drinking on the beach enjoying a rare sunny Saturday on the North Coast or participating on one of the countless massive May Day protests around the world, I hope it was a productive day! May 1st has always been a day of resistance and honor for immigrants and laborers, and this year holds special significance for these causes, given the outrageous and illegitimate legislation that is being considered in Arizona regarding illegal immigrants. I'm happy to report that there are already many lawsuits and efforts to boycott the state, including threats from executives for Major League Baseball which has an enormous amount of foreign players, most from Latino countries. 40 or so Major League teams hold there spring training in Arizona, and it is businesses and companies like this that must be pressured into publicly boycotting Arizona until SB 1070 is repealed! There is also a great story of a really brave Arizona County Sheriff who refuses to enforce the new law because he believes it is "racist and stupid".

In lighter news...Really excited because I have finally managed to acquire the elusive imic which allows me to record and podcast my radio shows, and I'm proud to announce that Episode #3 of Sandwiches Time is now up and podcasting!!! I have done countless shows between the few that I have podcasting so far, and each episode that I cant record I regret. There is so much spontaneous stupidity that I want to remember forever and my Saturday night kicked major sweet ass you might say, and now its up there for your enjoyment and my shame.

I also have to give a quick mention for my newest favorite show... Clark and Michael! Super funny low budget, improve style comedy from Michael Cera and Clark Duke, who are followed by a film crew as they write and sell a script to Hollywood. Short ten minute episodes only available online at Clarkandmichael.com, youtube or one of the many many links sites. Enjoy!

One more little nerd tid bit of info...oh I dunno...maybe FUTURAMA is returning for a brand new Season #6 on June 24th@10PM!!!!! Thats right! FUTRUAMA is Back!!!! It grew and grew on me until it eventually became on of my top favorite animated shows and I do not have words to express how excited i am about this! Here is a little sneak peek of the first 3 minutes of the newest Season 6 Episode 1 !!!!!!

I'm Making My Lunch!!! Sandwiches Time 99.9FM 1st Show Success!!! Podcast Up Friday 4/2

Last night marked my official return to the Pirate airwaves and what nerdfest it was, clocking in at just under 4 hours! I just couldn't stop spinning and sampling and the next thing i knew it was 1am. I was ecstatic, anxious and frustrated, under-prepared over-caffeinated, trying not to spill my tasty beverage while struggling to find the next record to throw on next because the lame sample I cued up wasn't the right one and it's come to an unforeseen dramatic pause in the movie and its been the equivalent of dead air for the better part of a minute, all the while praying that the CD I cued up isn't thrashed too bad to play. I was so happy. I missed the radio so goddamn much. Thanks to Red Rasta (RIP Downbeat) for showing me the ropes and helping me record this travesty for future humiliation when its finally podcasted. This first episode of Sandwiches Time will be uploaded soon over at Specialagent-Dalecooper.podomatic.com! Its a long name but its worth the finger work I swear. Just follow the link in the sidebar, but i must warn you, there's nothing there yet. This episode will be up by tomorrow and if all goes according to my master plan, there will be a new show podcast every week and world domination will come soon aft....maybe I shouldn't mention the latter part....

Just a quick note: Free Radio Santa Cruz aka FreakRadio celebrated their 15 year anniversary last night. Check out the story on the Indybay news feed.

Coffee At The Great Northern Podcast: "Sandwiches Time"!!!

99.9 FM Humboldt Free Radio Alliance is going to sail for destinations unknown starting Wednesday, March 24th, with shows running from Wed-Sun. To celebrate I've decided to start podcasting the radio shows over at SpecialAgent-DaleCooper.Podomatic.com. I really got inspired by Downbeat, Rex and Mike Manix, all of whom have produced some really sweet shows; All Hail Downbeat the Red Rasta for his long running, and surprisingly highly listened-to podcast in addition to his years on Pirate Radio. Whatta Guy!

On the first few ships i crewed i did the Blue Rose Variety Show, which now, i think is going to be called Sandwiches Time, just to get a breather from all the twin peaks references, and to spice shit up a little bit, make it fresh, new, for the kids, you know? Sandwiches Time will also have much more than just the radio shows, we're hopefully going to have movie and comic reviews by Jaz Brown, video blog review thingies, movies? animation? who knows where this baby will go!

So if you ever find yourself sucked into the vortex of Arcata, Ca, tune into 99.9 fm Wednesday thru Sunday and check out Local Pirate Radio, and listen to Sandwiches Time with Special Agent Dale Cooper : Saturday nights 10PM-Late. With any luck, the podcasts will maintain a regular schedule in addition to the radio shows.
