August Update

Hey yo,
I hope everyone is staying cool. Everyone says July is the hottest month but I totally think it's August. So, this is when it's crucial to turn on the Air Conditioning, grab a too-cold Labatt Blue, and just hang out. Matter of fact, why not turn on the radio too.

I'm still hangin' in Schenectady, working at the car wash and bumpin' beats from the Escort. I sold the Pepsi Spirit :-( but got a new bike which is incredibly awesome!! :-) I want to ride it but it's always either raining or so humid and hot I can't believe it. Uncool to the extreme. Literally.

I'm still updating and hosting WCDB Dudes with Phatrick, there are only three shows left of the four hour Summer slot so catch what you can before The Dudes gets cut to 6-8p in late August.

Today's show was really really tight, I seriously dug it and I want to say thanks to all who called in (I even heard from some ex-WCDB DJs who used to play the same tunes!) Very very cool.
