MP3some Radio

Two things today, only one of which is music-related.

First of all, it saddens me to report that George Carlin has died at the age of 71. Mr. Carlin, along with Richard Pryor, was one of my two favorite modern comics. Though I never got to see him live (I had talked about doing so since I was about 16, but never found myself in the right circumstance to do so), Carlin and his HBO specials never failed to crack me up. I have posted his 1982 special, Carlin at Carnegie Hall, for your enjoyment.



On the musical end, I do have an offering: MP3some Radio. That's right, I'm now running an internet radio station out of my apartment. While I cannot guarantee its hours of operation (weekdays 9-5, typically) and reliability (depends on the number of listeners and general internet traffic), I can vouch for the excellence of the music. The station playlist consists of 16+ hours of handpicked tracks in different styles (jazz and Classical have been omitted for continuity's sake), and continues to expand. Enjoy.
