A Great Rock Mix is on tap today.
RfL 2.0 is back in your ears. It just felt like time to drop another episode. We have a great rock mix today along with a bit of freeform jabber.
We are going to hear from Ari Shine, Rotoscope, The Substitutes, The Genders, and The Distillers. That is some great music.
Great rock mix with rocket City Riot. Also the return of Stupid Celebrity Crap, Celebrity Birthdays, and more.
The Polymorphines, Shattered Atom, The Palace Flophouse, The Deadly Vibes, and Rocket City Riot
The 2008 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!
SJ starts things off today. It is fitting as he is a 500 year old red demon boy from the 5th dimension. The music today is all kinds of spooky.
We hear from Calabrese which opens and closes the show. Never so True brings up zombies, while monsters are the theme from Never so True, Matchbook Romance, The Hoodlum Circus, and The Powerknobs.
See, spooky!
It is time for some crazy daydreams. Not that you should start daydreaming right now, it is the name of episode #4 of the Animated Adventures!
The guys try to have a deep converstion. That can't be a good thing.
It is a Juggernaut to assault your ears! Hard Rock and Metal Friday!
We have bands from around the world for your ears. From The Netherlands, we have Chiraw and Non Devine. From California, we have favorites In Silence. From Nevada, we have royal court members Darque Carnival. From Washington, we have Lucid. And from Norway, we have K9!

The ‘TRAP’ of Trying To Be Indie
October 23rd, 2009 | 
Author: 
I have found myself in the same argument over and over again through the years. The argument is that there is no indie movement, or alternative, or anything of the type. The second something becomes a movement, it no longer really exists, at least not as it started. I was reminded of this argument again yesterday when I was followed by two guys that were the white boy hip-hop version of the ‘Night at the Roxbury’ guys. It would have been funny if it was not so sad. They were so indie with their cred………..NOT!
Take hippies for example. They were counterculture, they were broke, they were pretty smelly, but at first they were genuine. Then the marketing guys and retail outlets latched on. If you were buying your bell bottoms at Montgomery Wards or Sears, and ordering your ‘paint your wagon’ patches from magazines, you missed the hippie movement. Sorry to say it, but you did.
Let’s look at the ‘alternative’ music scene. If you were listening to Radio Free Europe in the 80’s, you were part of the ‘college scene’ or alternative scene as it would start to be known. If you liked Husker Du, you may have been alternative. If the Replacements were in your tape deck, you still had cred. If you listened to any of these bands after seeing Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ or were turned on to REM with ‘Losing My Religion’, then no, you were not really part of the scene. Grunge? Give me a break.

Chris Brogan Lays Down the Plan: A Social Media Expert in 4 Days!
Chris Brogan knocks one out of the park with his post titled, “10-no-4 Days to Become a Social Media Expert.” A sarcastic and funny post where he lays out the plan to start the path to financial riches and internet celebrity that will set you for life.
This is a must read. I myself am dealing with a couple of folks who seem to be following this plan already, and no, it is not fun.
So check out the post and see just how many people seem to think this is really the way to go.
Funny stuff indeed!
Good one Chris.
Cheers,
Eban
