Walking to NOLA 2 Years Later

If music is the universal language, then New Orleans is the capital of the World. And if hip hop is the CNN of the street, then maybe we should pay attention to Spellbinderz report on the state of Crescent City, post Katrina (with a little help from Fats).

Kraftwerk- Groundbreakingly Goobertastic!

Alright, uber computer goobers, here's a blast from the past! The pasty, robotic German group, KRAFTWERK created some pretty groovy sounds in the 80's with their, then, groundbreaking use of synths and voice modulation. They were later lampooned in, or at least, an inspiration for the Mike Meyers Saturday Night Live skit, Sprockets.

A girl-fight is not usually my thing, but put ladies on roller skates and helmets and you've got a bout worth cheering for!

HD Radio Makes A Difference

On Friday, I went out and finally hooked my car up with an HD Radio...the previous soundsystem, the 1997 Camry Set Up was getting a little boring for me and as a music man I need to hear my music and feel it too. So after a few dollars spent and an hour installation my problem would be solved.

What's so great about HD Radio? It's crystal clear, it's the way radio should sound, and it's FREE on the user end. A little more costly for the station. If you havn't made the switch, you might want to.
