Papers all finally turned in... just two exams to go.
It's now time to goof off. Ahoy, internet!
Here are a few things to check out--
1) General Interest recording from 12/12!
2) Chris Dodge interview from the Slap-a-Ham Orgy
3) The side list of upcoming events-- I'll be updating as I get final confirmations!
4) Some of my friends and I are starting a blog for digital mixtapes we make. They'll be posted on i do very little to talk about if anyone's interested. It's the last time I'll mention it, though-- keep this blog moderately untainted.
Alright, that's about it. Now I'm off to visit Tjolgtjar land--
tune in at 95.3fm and check out the interview (posted later tonight/tomorrow) at recordhospital.org.

Orgies and FESTation
It's that time of year-- the post-holiday crunch, the time when thousands of undergrads make their way back to Cambridge (I'm pretty sure we're the only place to do this anymore) only to have their hopes, dreams, and sleep schedules crushed by papers and exams.
On that note, hope everyone had a great holiday.
Anyway--
a few matters of outstanding business:
1) General Interest recording to be posted within the next week.
2) Orgy Season-- check out the schedule and full descriptions at whrb.org.
A few have already happened, but a lot of great ones are still on the schedule including Tjolgtjar (listen in if not just for the interview), Corin Tucker, Slap-a-Ham Records, Brian Eno, Do the Dance (collection of dance tunes over the years, curated by Dinos) and Our United States (a run down of bands with Presidential names, fit for inauguration day).
Tune in!
3) New dates confirmed for in-station shows:
Feb. 6th - Magic People
Feb. 27th - Planned Communities
4) RECORD HOSPITAL FEST 2009
We're just starting planning things, but right now the tentative date is April 10th and 11th-- Mark your calendars.

Got Laid
Great time last night. Thanks to the band for coming out, and especially to Shannon for roughing it with her knee.
Download their set here.
If you like what you hear, be sure to check them out Dec. 15th with Fruit Salad and Ramming Speed at Charlie's Kitchen in Cambridge, or, if you're outside of Boston, check out their upcoming tour schedule on their myspace.
Also, the bassist, Alex, is one of the members of H.E.L.L., a non-profit group that gives out free helmets to those in need (i.e. everyone who rides who doesn't have a helmet), and there's a sweet benefit show coming up for the organization.
Check it out:
Saturday, Dec. 13th, at the Papercut Zine Library (45 Mt. Auburn St. in Cambridge). I'm not sure the lineup listed on the flier is completely accurate, but the other info is-- early show and only $5 for a great lineup, whatever the final one ends up being.
Lastly,
General Interest live next Friday. It'll be the last live band until February. Stay tuned for this season's orgy schedule.
Back to the grind (and maybe to grab some food along the way),

Sí se puede
Sorry for the lack of posts lately; it's been super busy around these parts. Hopefully after mid-next week I can get back (or start) posting regularly, oi.
At any rate, here's Made in Mexico's live set from two Fridays ago. The night was a lot of fun; I love it when there's a crowd of people in the studio, and the band bringing their own lighting (first ever) was a nice touch.
The set features a lot of songs off the new album Guerillaton, so be sure to check it out on Skingraft Records-- the LP packaging is die cut and, I think, is actually costing them money to put out, so you should buy it even if you dislike the disc, if only in an attempt to bankrupt them. That is my two cents.
Get Laid tonight.
10pm, 95.3fm or whrb.org

Get Laid on WHRB
The title says it better than I ever could.
12/5, 10pm -- Get Laid on WHRB, right before the start of orgy season.
How appropriate.

Walled in and Made up
Big thanks to everyone who came out to the Walls show, and especially to Scot for sending the show my way. Each band put on a spectacular show and I'm really glad we got to help out with the event.
I want to apologize to everyone who got turned away-- the cage was filled to maximum capacity pretty early, but luckily we were able to let a few more in as others deserted throughout the course of the night.
I lost my camera a bit ago so unfortunately I can't provide pictures, but some pretty good shots from the night can be found on Catherine's blog and various other places around the internet.
I was both bummed and relieved that some people ended up leaving after Mind Eraser played. On one hand, Walls didn't play to a packed cage, but on the other hand, people didn't have to watch them play in a packed cage. The turnout and energy were still amazing, though, and the Cold Sweat reunion at the end was definitely something to experience.
I picked up a couple 7"s from Quinn's distro I-Deal, as well as the new Walls LP at the show, and can't wait to give them all a listen within the next few days. Be sure to call in to the station (617-495-WHRB) and request to hear the new stuff.
Anyway, last update--
Made in Mexico will be stopping by this Friday to play some songs over the air. They'll be playing some tracks off their latest album, Guerillaton, so it'll be a great way to preview the disc. I'm pretty excited about this, as I've been trying to coax these guys in for almost a year now. FRUITION!
As always, shit will get started at 10pm and the recording will be up for download on this page after the broadcast.
Blahdy blah,

A plethora of WHRB downloads and a few Fucked Up covers
You want downloads? I've finally got 'em.
Check out Ho-Ag's performance from 10/3 and the set from Eunuch on 10/24. These will also be up on the Record Hospital website sometime within the next week.
The Big Big Bucks played a great set in-station last Friday to a pretty sizable crowd for our in-station standards. Be sure to grab the performance here and to check out their new full length that will be coming out soon. Keep an eye on their website for updates.
A big thanks to Jack Younger from Basement 247 Studio in Allston, who helped give me some pointers on the sound and our own equipment. Hopefully I'll be learning some more things from him soon (and possibly interning at the studio), so that should be fun. I also feel like this is the best quality recording I've produced so far, so I'm pretty happy with how things are going. This promises good things for Made in Mexico on the 21st.
Last matter of actual business-- RH/Girly Shit is helping put on what promises to be a killer show at the Quincy Cage this Friday, so we won't be having a band in-station. Candace will still be playing tunes, but I'll be helping set up/ playing doorman for the punx instead.
Come say hi-- doors are at 7, show is $8.
If you've got questions, send 'em over to girlyshtcambridge (at) gmail.com
And as an end note, as I promised Dan about forever ago, here are the Fucked Up cover EPs. Both of 'em.
Tracks with Manno singing are the best, [eff] the naysayers.
Back to the homework~
