good morning, good evening, good grief. whoever you are, wherever you are, thank you for reading, even if youve stumbled upon this by accident. if you havent already, go to party934podcasts.com & search 'knozgrul' in the search field. youll find just one show, despite this really having been my 7th. but, of those 7, only 5 were ever uploaded. and, of those 5 -- well. fuck it, theres one up there, its got the new fancy intro (which is hilarious to me, still - but, the awesome lady whos on before me on fridays really liked it a lot, for serious), so, we start with this being show 1. for those of you who had the older ones, a fun fact - i stole my episode names from how i met your mother episode titles. this time around? dexter. mheh.

alright, alright, enough of my bullshit.. onto the tracklist!!!

shooter jennings & hierophant - wake up!
electro group - glistened
anton barbeau - sweet creature, whats your name?
the answering machine - cliffer
survival guide - the walls
trainwreck symphony - so long

sad day for puppets - marble gods
like pioneers - polkadot
now, now every children - giants
airiel - airtight angels
the sound platform - summer something
aberdeen - cities and buses
harvey danger - we drew the maps

id like to think that this was my best show (production-wise), so i can only imagine it being this good, or getting better, if time permits.

my plague

i have a new 'thing' going on for my little show here.. we begin anew. my old shows are gone. if you didnt get them - sorry. *however*, im trying to up the production value on my show. i just made an intro for my show. so, each time, itll start out with that, not that sweet beavis promo for the station. thatll be added later in the show. sooo. an intro.. something else, im sure.. i need other stuff. maybe new background music when i talk. we'll see.

endless summer

tonites show is a 'pull shit out of the bag at random' kind of show, because i havent gone thru 100% of the songs i had lined up, and i didnt have any time to go thru them and listen to every song (just to give you an idea, each week, i have about 40-50 songs lined up for the show, then i go with the majority that fit the same kind of style, then narrow that down even further and further until ive got about an hours worth of music), so i had to go with songs i already know by heart & know dont have any swears in them. thus, this is your tracklist for tonite..

marilyn manson - godeatgod
tub ring - the promise keeper
mew - her voice is beyond her years
30 seconds to mars - attack
stars - ageless beauty
harvey danger - picture, picture
dinosaur jr - little fury things
the vincent black shadow - control
paper rival - weak sister
rise against - give it all
interpol - pda
jimmy eat world - cautioners
amanda palmer - astronaut
underoath - some will seek forgiveness, others escape

hope you guys enjoy listening to me / my music, cuz im hoping we'll be around for a while.

taters.

love will tear us apart

i went thru about 5 different cover versions of that song that i have before settling on the evelyn evelyn cover of it to play in tonites show. i just love me some amanda palmer. shes pretty great. and, if you havent heard her 'who killed amanda palmer?' album, go find a way to listen to it. aaaand then go find the evelyn evelyn album somewhere. 'cause that ones just amazing.

i know i said that tuesdays would be indie days & that fridays would showcase, err, highlight just one band, but thats kind of gone out the window these past few weeks. technically, it hasnt happened, as the only time it did was with a harvey danger show - but i fucked up on that one, so it wasnt placed in the archives for your listening pleasure. im sure soon enough ill get back to that format i once laid out.

for now though..... the track list!

infectious grooves - immigrant song
rage against the machine - down on the street
ministry - under my thumb
pomplamoose - beat it
david bowie - i know its going to happen someday
local h - joey
weezer - paranoid android
foo fighters - baker street
harvey danger - underground
devo - (i cant get no) satisfaction
deftones - simple man
nirvana - here she comes now
she & him - please, please, please let me get what i want
evelyn evelyn - love will tear us apart

dont quite know what happened at the end there.. somethin struck me a bit earlier, i guess, and, uhhh.. i just felt like dying inside. heh. those last two songs'll do it! shit..

alright, im off to sleep for a couple hours. hope you enjoy/ed it!

slipping into lucid

got tuesdays show pretty much done & ready to go. tracks are chosen, order is chosen, sweepers are in their place -- all i gotta do is get un-sick so i can talk like a normal person. and, itd probbaly be more interesting for everyone if i had a different time slot.. im either up for about 24hrs before doing a show, or am just waking up before doing a show. either way, that contributes to the 'mike sounding sick' thing.

knoz, out.

rearviewmirror

perhaps its fitting, as i want to leave that first show behind me. thankfully whatever fucked up fucked up bad & the whole show wasnt saved, so, only those of you who tuned in (erm.. thanks, j) heard what was. already realized the error of my ways. the secret is in UBER-prepping the fuck out of your show. i might bend a rule or two by doing some things, but, itll ensure a good show.. so - tuesday, 4am - tune in to hear some awesome fucking music. or, hit up the party934(.com) website and download the podcast anytime after the show. cool beans? cool beans.

.. coool beans.

COOL-COOL-COOL COOL beans.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BEANS!

.. cool beans.

the show must not go on

but it shall, nevertheless.

tonites show is all about harvey danger. theyre one of my favorite bands. ever. they should be one of yours, too. but, i know theyre not. and thats ok. i wont hold it against you. however, you should learn up on them. and what better time than right now!?

for this morning, the track list will be as follows :

big wide empty
picture, picture
woolly muffler
mainland
you miss the point completely, i get the point exactly
the worlds greatest living dancer
meetings with remarkable men
diminishing returns (demo)
old hat
defrocked
wrecking ball
the show must not go on

if you can, tune in to party934.com - otherwise, check out the website when you can & check the podcast section, you can just nab it from there. cool? tsh. you bet.

teething

have you ever made a mix for someone thats summed up the entire length of your friendship? its fuckin exhausting, man.. im not talking, like, 'ill throw 17 tracks on a cd' kind of mix - i mean, taking clips from 5-7 different songs and turning them into one track. THATS the exhausting part.. not many people i can do that for, really.. as sad as it is, i cant do that for many people.. though, i still love making general mixes for people. because its fun.

i always thought itd be cool to make mix cds and leave them around in a public place for someone to find. maybe leave an email address or something, or a note on it to do the same. or do that with a book. like, start writing something in a book, leave it somewhere, have someone pick it up, continue it, etc.. who knows where itd go and whatd go in it?.. thats the kind of stupid shit i think of in my free time. politics? recession? bah!

heh.

radio show in a little over 24 hours. eep!

radio silence

fridays show is getting put together as we spe.. as i speak & you dont read. :blinks:

anyhow. fridays show is the first show to feature just one band in all their glory - that band; harvey danger. while the majority of the world knows them as 'that band who had that 'paranoia, paranoia' song in the american pie movie', i can honestly say that theyre one of my three favorite bands ever. (the other two are nirvana and dethklok - expect their shows soon).. so, if you read this, please tune in to find out just how great & diverse a band harvey danger truly was. and, if you want, tell other people about it. and have them people. and have those people tell people. because, if one i happen to rule the world, i promise ill spare all of your lives. until the day you cross me.

release

tech problems tuesday. first show is now gonna be on friday. regardless, ill still be posting each shows tracklist, etc for each show i do. not sure if the first song should be soft & pretty, or heavy & brutal.. any input? hmm. youre not even reading this, are you?

:evil eyes:.. sonsofbitches.. just kidding. i love you. :raises eyebrow: *especially* you! :wink/nudge/honkhonk:

surfacing

and in such a way, i suppose i am.. im doing a pre-show show, so im putting together even more playlists.. im still pretty fucking sick though, so i wont be talking too much these first few shows.. probably just introducing songs, shouting out the stations call numbers, etc.. currently watching mr show - fuckin love that show. it was pretty ahead of its time.. or maybe it wasnt, and im just cut off from all things entertaining in the world..

remember to go back thru all my old posts, people.. ill keep 'em as short as i can so that it wont be such a pain to read thru later on..

im tired - how 'bout you?

diminishing returns

a-HA!!! ive *got* it! tuesdays will be a various group of artists, and friday will be one band - different songs / albums - most likely a popular artist. its gonna be fuckin awesome. super awesome. and, ill be listing every shows songs/artists either right before, during, or right after each show. so, you can follow whats played as it goes on. cool, yeah? mm. i think so.

times almost up. hope it goes well..

into the void

just as a sidenote to anyone who may care; every post title is a song title. and that song is the one im listening to whenever i start writing a new post.

shit. back to figuring out what to play for these first few shows..

(im also thinking of having tuesday be my 'indie' show, while friday would serve as my 'rock' show (old favorites; nirvana, pearl jam, etc) - what do you think?)

in case of rapture

i just went thru a really brief run-through of how a show would go if i were to be on the air, live. which, apparently im going to be on monday. and then my normal schedule of tuesday & friday from 4am-5am. weird, i guess, since im usually asleep in that timeframe.

but, i cant keep doing nothing in my free time. i mean, im always trying to find new bands to fall in love with, trying to get others to fall in love with them as well. i guess thats the whole reason i want to start this thing. i really one have one friend whos interested in trading mix cds (a-thank you, career hymnal), but i figure theres gotta be more people like me in this world - just looking anywhere to find new music. and, people always look thru podcasts on itunes. well, pretty soon youll be able to find my hour-long podcasts (erm, live music streams) on there. itll be a little (im)personal mixtape from me to you.

but,  on the off-chance that you actually want to trade mix-cds or something (instead of just emailing me a list of bands/songs to check out - though, i still prefer that over no input/feedback at all), feel free to send me your address (dont worry, even if i wanted to be (which i dont), im too fuckin poor to be some creepy stalker person - plus, you can see who i am, not the other way around) and we can totally trade cds. or be pen pals. or *something*.

hmm. this might be the longest 'blog' ive written. i like having a set amount of characters to be used. constricting, yes, but makes me feel like im wasting less time.

regardless - im around. you can find me. and my show. you know how & where.

and, an advance thank you to party934 (dot com) for giving me a chance to fill their slots. mheh.
