We actually had a choice between two movies for tonight's theme. But there was really only one choice we could have made...
Requests on the hits line bring the spice to the set and one of the three requested tracks most certainly did that! :)
Three guesses and the first two don't count as to what tonight's theme might be about... ;)
You know we love the themes but there are some nights that don't seem to have a theme. Except they do... :)
President Trump's vituperative post about last night's Superb Owl was right on one point. It just wasn't the one that he thought it was by a long shot but at least he'd watched Bad Bunny's performance to at least not comment on it from a perspective of complete ignorance... :(
These tunes are for those who celebrated the Superb Owl a wee bit too much... :)
I don't get the sport played during the Superb Owl at all...I'm just all in for heading over to my mate's for some munchies and a fun time. But that doesn't mean that I can't throw a few tunes out there before the first game for those who celebrate a game where the "ball" is not actually ball-shaped and is rarely propelled by the foot...
Today I had the privilege and honour of observing the passage of the Buddhist monks on their "Walk For Peace" near Jordan Lake. To say that it was genuinely a life-altering experience is the understatement of the century... :)
The lyrics may be catchy and fun to sing but if a track is going to really grab my attention, the instrumentals have to be top notch! And one of the best instrumental groups out there is The Alan Parsons Project... :)
I had a lovely set for Martin Luther King Jr day ready to go...and no signal making it to the rink speakers! Welcome to the wonderful world of improvisation... :)
The WFOX hits line is not powered by telepathy! Just sayin'... ;)
Today would have been Dad's 81st birthday...a day he shared with Dr Martin Luther King Jr. How about a fun journey to see what other notable birthdays and events occurred on the 15th of January?
The request lines are open...Nicholas is wanting an Evanescence vibe and I was already fiddling with some track ideas that scream "girl power". Well, one good idea deserves another... :)
I genuinely couldn't believe that there wasn't a single Grateful Dead track in the library when it came time to pay tribute to the passing of Bobby Weir. This was rectified immediately... :)
Whether it's radio or playing a set as a live DJ...special requests are often what really makes the night for us! We may not be able to fulfill it immediately but rest assured that unless the song is truly hopeless, you'll be hearing it over the speakers soon enough! :)
The MLK Jr playlist looked a bit light and I was wanting some more options to play with...what I didn't plan on was just how much bigger that playlist got! :)
Playing with some ideas for the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr holiday...
This post is the starting point for the playlists for Season XII of the MCHL Ironclad League so if there was a track that was played during the Zamboni /warm-ups that inspired feelings of “I’ve got to have that song!”, here is all the details that’s fit to print! :) The title comes from one of the earliest slogans of WMMO (the station that inspired compiling these lists in the first place!) which at the…
(This entry is very intensely emotional and personal and I'll understand if you choose to give it a miss!) The word "super" always had a special meaning between Dad and I for far longer than anyone else would have ever known of it's deeper meaning whenever he'd use it to answer their question. Today seems as good a day as any to finally let everyone else in on what it truly meant to the both of us...and still does to this day.
Tonight we have a marathon session of four back-to-back Ironclad games to finish the season. Trust me, you didn’t want to be playing in the last game of the evening…
Well, if it's an angst-laden playlist the players get, there's no way I'm not going to drop a Taylor Swift track in amongst the songs and see if it gets noticed! :)
We'd barely been able to process the 389th (!!!) senseless mass-shooting event at Brown University in Rhode Island before the grim newsflash from Bondi Beach near Sydney of an attack upon Jews celebrating Hanukkah (the festival of light) and it makes me wonder if we can see anything at all in the darkness seemingly consuming our world. :(
Tonight's pre-game tracks were partially inspired by a playlist being constructed for Martin Luther King Jr Day in the upcoming season of Ironclad...
I am genuinely conflicted as to what is more absurd...that this country has elected someone as President who is so clearly insecure and unable to live without sycophantic adoration or that FIFA felt compelled to make up a "peace prize" for a President whose body of work in that area doesn't bear close scrutiny!
Fortitude's blush probably has nothing on Babs Jansen's when a car moves at a particularly inopportune time during the riot at the end of "Animal House" but that tree puts on quite the show of red on the inexorable descent into being naked for winter!
