I effin hate the cold. So when you wake up on a morning like today, it affects me on a very guttaral level. I’m more likely to wanna stay in my loungers and not leave the house at all. Now on Sunday, I have to at least get out of the house for a few minutes.At least we get some sunshine to go with the cold, unlike my friends in Canada. I am reminded of the interesting story of Toronto’s Bloor Street Viaduct, which I wrote about last year.Kevin Bewerdorf was on the show this morning. If you check out his online platform maximum sorrow, it’s hard to decide if he is being serious, or totally out there in an Onion, Despair sorta way. He is also doing a digital presentation for the Austin Film Society this Thursday.
I always love having Margaret Moser on the show, who heads up the Austin Music Awards and is an editor at the Austin Chronicle. She is such an inspiration to me, and always a lot of fun. Vote in this year’s Austin Music Awards here. And if you need any help when it comes to “Radio Music Program,” email Monty and he’ll give you some ideas.
We’re in the process of trying to put together a chillville show as part of the station’s Homegroan series. Only problem is this: the date that Monty and Diedre Gott picked is a date that I am going to be out of town. And no one thought to tell me. So we are in the process of deciding whether to do the show without me or reschedule it for another date. Stay tuned.
Golden Globes are tonight. I’m rooting for In Bruges and Mad Men and Slumdog and (to a lesser extent) The Wrestler.
