Awesome Show!

Yo Albany, what it is... Tonight's show was hookless per usual however I completely forgot the camera for which to capture stills of the program. Mad people came, we got a new subwoofer in the studio, and I played the most ridiculous Village People song ever ever. Yes.

AUSPICIOUS FRIDAY

Last night's show was really something else, as always! Ghetto extraordinary! Check it out,

Matt completely started the Kitchen off by showing up with a big-screen laptop fulla donuts, hell of appropriate



Andrew and Matt got their lossless on with the rock rotation CDs, while Chris seems to be trying in vein to pick up WiFi


what can I say I like to dance


Fact: TJ is now on the Internet

Another thing I've been meaning to address is the laffs that can be found in the studio computer, which tries to auto-complete artist and song title info


IDM/Experimental dance fans understand this joke


Fans of the La's or Six Pence None the Richer might pick up on this one


The night came to summation when I went back to a good friend's apartment and found the paper towel I once drew a cat on was not actually thrown away but that it was immortalized on the wall in stead

Jenny I got your number

Hey all, Just a quick mid-break update to let you know I've got some radical songs lined up for the spring semester. Mr. Mister, Jack Wagner, The Replacements, Kim Wilde, The Wonder Stuff, Poco, Boomtown Rats, and a whole mess of other good stuff. Mark your calendars, your Filofax, and set your mobile phones to remind you, January 25th at 8PM is the 2008 return of The Kitchen. dum-dum-dummm

Speaking of mobile phones, I spent the last few days visiting my friend Dave in the Bronx (Co-Op City Bagel Cafe, I got nothin' but love for ya). I came across a particular advert on the Metro that caught my attention and made me happy 'cause now at least I know the name of my next girlfriend:



I spent the night looking for her but to no avail. Jen, if you see this leave a comment. Awesome.

Looking forward to the 25th,
Leon
