    WLUP tomorrow night, and Happy Holidays

    I just posted this:

    http://bit.ly/va0SzY

    To make a really long story short, I'm doing a one-off appearance on the Loop tomorrow night. The station wanted to play a bunch of "Q101 music" during their 90s weekend, and asked if I'd come in to prerecord a show where I play some safe alternative music, and share stories specifically about my time on Q101. 

    The nostalgia machine around Q101 feels kind of strange to me (yes, this is coming from a guy who's writing its history), but I thought this would be a fun thing to do.

    Also, the link above is to my new blog home. I'm slowly transitioning my existing blog to Wordpress, something I should have done forever ago (it's free and amazing). Please excuse formatting issues and missing media if you should choose to browse around there.

    If we don't talk before then, I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Best wishes for a healthy, prosperous, and peaceful New Year.

    James
