There are plenty of uplifting but sad stories come Super Bowl week (think the Sam Mills/Mark Fields bit), but Michael Silver found a gem with the James Parrish story that I find interesting because I've actually met Parrish before. While interning at the Chicago Tribune, he came around the office a couple of times, flashing his really huge Super Bowl ring. No one was really sure why he was there or who even brought him around, but he was a nice enough guy and very personable.

They killed Goat Boy
So much for trying to appease the 25-34 demographic. The '80s station down here in Atlanta just got the plug pulled in favor of Real Radio, a "hot talk" station. Those in New York might remember that's what WNEW-FM turned into after rock moved out. Fittingly, this song was the last song played in its incarnation as an '80s station.

The station wasn't drawing much of a following, and I suppose it shouldn't be much of a surprise given how much of a niche the station turned into. When you're only playing the same 400-500 songs (if that many), it ends up getting a bit repetitive and just as annoying as the rest of commerical radio. It's sad when you get more of the '80s from alt-rock and soft/lite pop stations. At least there's still '80s Friday nights on this station.

It's about time I actually blogged, don't you think? A variety of things have kept me from getting on here, although mostly laziness and apathy. My apologies.

Anyway, to go along with some other bloggers, here's a collection of people who have spammed me recently (something tells me I need to change e-mail addresses one of these days):
Lecturing D. Merton
Departures H. Facelifts
Weapon S. Busboy
Insertions F. Seizure
