I really need a TARDIS

Just realized I hadn't posted in damn near 2 months. No idea where the time went, suppose it got sucked into a wormhole by a stray bit of antimatter. Work has been hectic, to say the least, recently. I'm constantly amazed by the level of incompetence shown by management. I really have a hard time believing people can be that clueless and somehow manage to survive. Where's Darwin when you need him?

Rock U continues to grow steadily, folks are finding us through word of mouth. We've added some fantastic new DJs recently, so if you haven't been by in a while come check it out!! As always, the calendar is the place to find the most up-to-date schedule information.

I spun at SL8B last Tuesday, but canceled my usual Thursday & Friday sets due to scheduling conflicts with reality. I also did a Relay benefit at The Twisted Joint this past Sunday. I'm back with a vengeance this week, lots of new tunes in the queue, and of course no repeats!! Sometimes it's hard to believe I've been doing this for so long.

Oh well, seems my brain has had enough for tonight, just wanted to get a post up to let ya know we're still kickin' it loud at Rock U, and I'm still the Freakiest DJ in the galaxy!! I'm at Rock U Thursday 4-6PM SLT/7-9PM EST, and The Friday Freakshow is 3-6PM SLT/6-9PM EST Live at The Twisted Joint and at WitchezBrew.

Friday Freakshow 25 March 6PM Eastern

Well, it looks like I'm at least able to remember to blog biweekly...I must be having fun, because time is flying by....already near the end of March, we've had a Supermoon, a few days of 80 degrees, pollen coating everything...Spring in the South!!! I'm just glad it stopped freezing, though it's still a possibility. It's so nice to not need a coat, to be able to dress comfortably & not be cold. Looks like the Abominable Snowmonster socked Toronto & the Northeast, they will have to fight harder to be free of its icy grip.

So yeah, the brain is thawing and I actually had a theme for last week's show. This week, nothing came to mind, so I filled the hopper with stuff I've picked up recently, old favorites, familiar tunes, and new indie tunes. Gonna have a free-for-all & see what sticks. If you've been listening for any amount of time, you know that I feed off of interaction, and steer the show while in progress. I did a set last Saturday completely on the fly, loading abut 3 or 4 tracks ahead and it absolutely rocked!!

It's really easy to get into the chat, just head over to WitchezBrew, click the "chat & listen" tab, and follow the instructions. If you're inworld, come catch me live at The Twisted Joint. Either way, 3 hours of the best music in the Galaxy is on tap, and Freakiness guaranteed!!! 6-9PM Eastern Daylight Time, 3-6PM Pacific Daylight Time, Friday, 25 March 2011.

Freakshow Time Again!!!

Yep, no matter how hard the forces of Darkness try, they cannot keep Friday from coming...and Friday means it's time for the Freakshow!!!! Hope you've all had a chance to check out the new chat, see instructions below if ya need hints. Come on over to www.witchezbrew.com and take part in the Freakiness!!! Or, if you're inworld, I'm live at the Twisted Joint!!! 6-9PM EST/3-6PM PST Friday, 11 March 2011.

Lots of new stuff in the queue, and of course your rockin' favorites. I'm busy as hell all week long these days, so I need the rockout as much as you do!! Still looking for new bands to promote, so if you're in one, or know of one, get the tunes to me and if it rocks, I'll spin it!!

Read a news story today about a Canadian hockey player...a PROFESSIONAL hockey player...who was upset at the ferocity with which he had been checked into the boards. The league decided the foul was not severe enough to suspend the offending player, so this wuss complains to the POLICE!!! This is the equivalent of running home & telling your mommy. I mean, come on!! This is HOCKEY FFS!!! If you can't take the checking, get the hell off the ice!!

And I thought our pro jocks were bad...we have real live ex-cons out there playing in the NFL & NBA, if you foul them I seriously doubt they're gonna file a police report. Might kick your ass in the parking lot....or steal your girlfriend.

Anyways, enough chatter. Come on out & catch the Freakiness and start your weekend off in style with the best music in the Galaxy!!!

Friday Freakshow, 25 Feb 6-9PM EST

Yep, almost time for the Freakshow!!! I know I haven't posted the past 2 weeks, been a bit crazy here at the Funeral Home. (The Freakshow rocked on as always, I just didn't update my blog) Finally, all the dead seem to be still and I can get back to what truly matters....ROCKIN!!!!

There's been a couple of changes to the chat at WitchezBrew, so I'll explain how to get in. First, head over to www.witchezbrew.com like always. Click the "Chat~N~Listen" tab. Scroll down a bit, and there's a box asking for nickname/password. The word "Guest" is already filled in by the word "Nick" (short for nickname) and the room will say WitchezBrew.com. Just click the "connect" button without changing anything. Once you're in the chat, you'll be able to choose a new Nickname and password. I'll walk you thru it, just a couple button pokes & you'll be all set up. The next time you come by, you'll log in with your Nickname & password.

The chat also looks a bit different, but it's the same Freaky rockers as before. The Shoutcast streamer is at the top of the page, and has the track info, like before. All that matters is the music, and that will still be the best music in the Galaxy as you expect from the Freakshow and WitchezBrew.

For those of you inworld, I simulcast from the Twisted Joint, so there's no excuse to miss my show!! Inworld or out, LIVE, the best music in the Galaxy & the Freakiest conversations!!
6-9PM EST/3-6PM PST Be there!!

Friday Freakshow 6-9PM EST 4 Feb

Yep, no matter how hard the Fates tried, Friday is coming again and that means Freakshow time!! Got a bunch of new stuff in the queue along with some old favorites, all guaranteed to be seriously Rockin!!! I'll be hanging at the Twisted Joint inworld, and those of you in radio-land can find me in the WitchezBrew chat. We can't control the chaos that surrounds us, between political unrest, blizzards, lousy drivers, crazy co-workers we all need a break.....so pour yourself a cool beverage and join me for 3 hours of the best music in the Galaxy and escape into your happy place (or at least your Freaky place). 6-9PM EST/3-6PM PST

Friday Freakshow 6-9PM EST 28 Jan

Wow...time does NOT fly when you're at work. Feels like a month since last Friday! Finally, Friday has arrived and I'm ready to kick off your weekend with 3 hours of the best music in the Galaxy!! I have a bunch of the Symphonic/Prog Metal that I'm known for lined up, and I'm sure that some comedy bits will find their way in as well. If you have a song that's been rattling around in your head, come join me in the chat and I'll get it on the air for ya!! I'll be dualcasting at Twisted Joint, so if you drop by there hit me with an IM and I'll slide it in for ya!! 6-9PM EST, 3-6PM PST Tonight!!

Friday Freakshow Dualstream 21 January

Last week I tried dual-streaming the Freakshow both inworld and out. It was a smashing success, allowing me to play for two audiences at once! So yep, looks like this will be how it goes on Fridays, the Freakshow will run 3-6PM SLT/6-9PM EST @ Twisted Joint, and if you're stuck out here in RL you can tune me in at www.witchezbrew.com. The Freakiness is worldwide & catching, make sure you don't miss a note!! My RL has gotten quite insane, and I may have to further cut down my set schedule, but the Freakshow is definitely a keeper!!!

There are a few of ya Freaks who haven't come by in a while, make sure you at least drop in & say hey!! The 3-hour format allows for overlap with other sets, so no excuses for not getting your Freak on!! It's all live, requests taken, and conversation second to none. If you need a dose of the best music in the Galaxy, you know where to find it: The Friday Freakshow!!!

Friday Freakshow dual-stream 14 January

The Friday Freakshow returned to the air last week, and this week we're gonna kick it up a notch! You can still tune in & chat at WitchezBrew (see last week's post for details), or if you happen to be in SL, come on by the Twisted Joint!! We had several people stop by the chat while inworld, and I decided to make the show available, live, to everyone whether in SL or not.

As always, I have some musical surprises up my sleeve, so make sure to tune in however you can!! The more the merrier, especially in the chat room, no need for registration!! Just pop on in & say hey, make a request, & get to know the Freaky folks who tune in every week. Phedre will be hosting me in SL, without her help I wouldn't be attempting to dual-stream. I've done 2 simultaneous SL venues before, so I figured why not give this a try?

Kinda cool how technology now allows us to be in 2 places at once.....if only I could send my avie to work so my corpse could get some rest. Working on that. Meanwhile, rest assured that in spite of the recent crazy weather here, the Freakiness will go on!! Friday, 14 January 2011, 6-9PM EST (3-6PM SLT) be there or I'll hunt you down!!

Friday Freakshow Rides Again

I know, it's been ages since I last posted. I'm still undead & well, still rockin' SL here & there. Starting tomorrow, 7 January 2011, I'll be bringing the Freakshow to the internet!! Yep, I have a gig at a web station, so no SL needed. You can listen from work, or whatever. If you really want to get in on the Freakiness (and request, etc.), there is a live chat, no registration needed, just come on in & keep me company!!

My show runs Fridays from 6-9PM EST, which is 3-6PM PST/SLT, or 11PM-2AM UK time. Any other time conversions, let me know. What you need to do is point your browser to www.witchezbrew.com, and click on the "Chat Room" tab to join the chat, or the "Tune In" tab to listen. Same Freaky convos, and, as always, the best music in the galaxy!! I'd love it if you could pop in & say hey, toss a request at me, and generally make yourself at home. If you're stuck at work you can still tune in....hell, tune me in while you're inworld!! If this all goes well, I may try to do a simulcast at an SL venue so I can have all of ya with me!!

Back from the Void...sort of

Yep, once again it's a month between posts, just wanted to let y'all know that I am back from the RL void more or less. I took off most of November to concentrate on some RL dragon slaying and take a well-deserved vacation (Rockin' of course). I'm starting to ease back into RL & SL, decided to return to the Freakshow tonite and spin a bunch of the stuff I picked up in my absence. Guaranteed the best music in SL!!

The Freakin' Weekend

Let's see...last time I was here I ran down the weekday sets, so let's have a look at the weekend lineup!!

Friday kicks off at 2PM with Krissy Mesmer and her hard-hitting set, Krissy is new to Fridays, come on down & check her out!! From 4-6 is the fabulous DJ Ishi with her unique mix of hard rock, JRock, and whatever else happens to cross her mind!! The Friday Freakshow from 6-8 is guaranteed to be the wackiest set of the night....yeah, I sometimes plan a set list but tend to follow the mood of the crowd, it's not unusual to hear everything from Bluegrass to Punk in the same set. Come on in & see if you can stump the freaky DJ!! Closing down Friday from 8-10 is Cyden Nightfire. Cyden has a huge music library and the sets are always kickass!!

Saturday's regular sets kick off at 11AM with Troy Kaminski, who has a love of classic Rock and plays some serious guitar tunes!! There is often a contest going on, and we've had some seriously wacky ones lately! From 1-3PM is the first part of the Dutch Assault, Marvel Kit. It took me a while to get Marv in here, but I'm glad I did! His sets definitely rock hard!! Marv has had RL commitments recently, and his slot has been filled by Guenevere DeCuir, fellow QR fanatic and lover of cheezy tuneage (and prone to on-air giggling fits). She's scheduled again this coming weekend, make sure to give her a listen!! 3-5PM Brings Part 2 of the Dutch Assault, the inimitable Ozark Hax. Oz is famous for finding the most bizarre tunes in the galaxy and mixing them into a hard-hitting set, you may end up laughing as much as dancing!! Rounding out Saturday is the Saturday Shred, THE show to see on Saturday night! (OK, a little self-promotion there)...but seriously, you know I'll play whatever, whenever, and I always have at least L$500 on the board.....

Sunday the rock keeps rolling with the TriLey show from 1-3PM The TriLey show is a dual-DJ set by the RL team of Trident & Bailey Runningbear. The music is always superb, the contests verge on naughty, and everyone has a blast!! From 3-5PM we have Tristan Micheline, and she can really spin a killer set!! She's definitely sick & twisted and a great soundtrack to Sunday!!
Finishing off the weekend, we have our very own Funeral Director, Sly Nirpaw from 5-7PM. Sly has a taste for the bizarre as well, and is a big fan of classic punk, thrash & garage Metal. One thing for sure, his sets are LOUD!!!

There you have it, the Freakin' Weekend lineup.....and remember, the Random Money Giver pays ya just for being a Freak!! See ya at Freakheim!!

Got Pix this time! WooHoo!!

Above is a pic from April's Monday Decapitation set, we had an awesome turnout for a Monday, and decided to have a "Fuck Monday" contest.....almost everyone got in on that and the tunes were incredibly kickass!!


Here's a pic from Oz's Cowboy set last week....we had pink ponies, purple ponies, and even a Centaur as well as cowboys & Indians. We also found out that Kaedy could shoot her cow gun and open the barn doors!

Following that set was my "Strange" set.....and this guy definitely took that to heart! Check out the Mohawk & fangs on Mr. Happy!

Ishi changed form several times last Friday, eventually settling on the purple & black kitty, all while rocking the place apart!

I decided on a "Hell Yeah, it's Friday!" theme for the Freakshow, and everyone seemed to have a rockin' time! We even had good participation in the contest!
As you can see, Freakheim seriously rocked all week long!!

Time is fun when you're having flies

Damn.....even later than last week. If this keeps up, I'm going to have to uninstall RL. Just takes up too much of my time. A few changes in the club, more kickass music headed your way!! Last week cruised on from Wednesday into the weekend, Rosie & Lainey rocked Thursday and Ishi popped in for Friday. Oz returned for a Slaves & Masters event and I followed up with a "Strange" event. Lotsa folks showed up, prizes were doubled, and the music was the best in SL.

So far this week, we've heard the return of Monday Decapitation with April Coswell, killer turnout for a Monday!! It was a RL bad day for me, and I seriously needed some good music. By the time the set was half over, I was laughing out loud at April's Freaky tunes and jamming along with the rest. Due to RL, the Monday Decapitation won't return until 10/27, but April promises to pop in the week of the 20th if at all possible.

Following April on Monday was guest DJ Dom Manatiso filling in for Inked Jewell and any life left in Monday was blown away. Dom delivered an intense set of Metal, Hardcore & Screamo that lit the sim next door on fire! Dom's set also saw the debut of Crystle Penucca as host. She's definitely a Freak and did a fine job her first night hosting.

Tuesday saw the return to the airwaves of JSD Etzel. He & I played the same club over a year ago, and we were constantly challenging each other with off-the-wall requests. RL has kept him off the air for several months, but he's back and spinning at Freakheim. There's really no way to describe his set except "Absolutely anything, anytime". Bluegrass, acoustic, classic rock, Metal, blues....you name it it's in there.....and sounding great!!

Myn's Mid-Week Mania returned on Wednesday, and kicked off Halloween with a bang! Why wait? The Freakiest club in SL, just down the block from the coolest Halloween Shop in SL was the perfect place to kick off Halloween early! Joining Myn was our newest host, Staroftesun Criss, and they kept the place jumping!

Tonight we have Rosie Rocks! at 4 and Lainey Thorne at 6. So grab some food, drinks, whatever, and get yourself down to Freakheim for the rockinest 4 hours inworld every Thursday! OK, now the big news....the Friday Freakshow has moved to Freakhiem!!! Ishi's on 4-6 and then the Freakshow roars in from 6-8 with my usual eclectic mix of whatever the hell I feel like playing added to your Rockin' requests!!! I'm also slotted at Burning Life from 8-10, if you wanna keep rockin', IM me & I'll send a taxi!

Saturday will feature Oz at 3 and the Saturday Shred with me from 5-7. We get to extend the weekend this week, as Gorgeous Guen is back on Sunday 3-5PM.

I don't know when I'll get back to posting pix, but I do have them and I'll eventually get them up here. Till then, stay Freaky & keep on Rockin'!!!!
