Podcast: No more Thursday Breakfast Jams

2008-05-01T18:05:00.004-05:00

This be the last one.

A thousand thanks for listening and all your support. It's a pretty amazing thing that a radio hack like myself got to take the driver's seat on primetime radio, first on Friday Breakfast Jam, and for the last year and a half, on Thursday Breakfast Jam. It has been an incredible opportunity and I am so grateful for all of the people that have come into my life because of my connection to KRCL.

Starting Monday, the new programming format and schedule goes into effect. Am I sad? A bit--but not so much because I'm losing my slot; rather, it's mostly because of the shows we're losing or have already lost. I'm optimistic about what's to come, and am especially excited not to wake up at 5am any more. I also think that midweek evenings will kick ass with Kristina on Tuesdays, Emily on Wednesdays, and yours truly on Thursdays.

So, please join me next Thursday evening in my new time slot: 8 to 10:30PM. (You can DVR 30 Rock and the Office. Or just come over my place and watch 'em after 10:30.)

Enjoy. And thanks again.

I filled in for David P. and covered “The Segue to Soul Friday,” aka, the Friday Breakfast Jam. Had a lot of fun covering this show because I got to play a bit of R&B, soul, blues and vintage-rock stuff. Enjoy.

Podcast: 4.17.2008 Thursday Breakfast Jam, with The Devil Whale

So, it’s been a while, other than that silly digital index post thingie.

Oh, well. Get over it. But I am going to try and post my last few Thursday Breakfast Jams because some folks have asked me to.

So here’s this morning’s edition, featuring a live performance from Brinton Jones of the Devil Whale.
Disc 01
Disc 02
Brinton Jones — Full interview
Brinton Jones — You were good

Playlist available here.

Also, it looks like I have some older podcasts available still here, and an August show here and here. These older shows will likely be removed next week.

Finally, I’ll be sticking around KRCL and moving my show to Thursday evenings, 8 to 10:30pm. I hope you’ll join me then.

Thanks to a combination of laziness and faulty CD recording, it’s been a while since I’ve podcasted. Well, here you go.

Don’t forget who loves you, bitches. (Especially next week, when it’s Radiothon, KRCL’s fall pledge drive.)

If you listen to the Thursday Breakfast Jam, you're well aware of my affinity for Josh Rouse.

As such, I'm happy to report that he's added a Salt Lake date to his Fall tour. Check him out at Urban Lounge on Wednesday, September 19.

Podcast: Thursday Breakfast Jam with Atherton live in studio

2007-08-03T12:07:00.000-05:00

Unfortunately, the CD burner pulled the same shit yesterday morning as last week—it recorded 79 minutes and then reported a disc error. Awesome.

Fortunately, it was the first disc that was FUBAR’d and the Atherton live in-studio was recorded on the second. Awesome.

And they were just that… awesome. So, enjoy the second disc worth of downloads and some shorter Atherton mp3s.

Yesterday’s playlist available here.

Be sure to check out the Atherton CD release show tonight (Friday) at the Post Theater in the Fort Douglas complex at the University of Utah.

Another event worth mentioning is Utah Wilderness Day, featuring Greg Brown, on Tuesday, August 7. Should be a lot of fun and very educational. Plus, I’ll be in the KRCL tent, so stop by and say hello.

Podcast: 7.26 Thursday Breakfast Jam + live mp3s from The Mollies

2007-07-26T13:36:00.000-05:00

Well, I’ve only got one disc for y’all this morning. For some reason, the CD burner opted to record 79 minutes on the first disc AND THEN report a “disc error.” Brilliant. So, the second half of the show will have to suffice.

To make it up to you though, I’m including some live mp3s from Salt Lake’s The Mollies. Last Thursday, I sat in for Dainon on his fine program, Red Eye, and The Mollies were kind enough to swing by last minute and play. I’ve got some photos, too; maybe I’ll post ‘em some day.

Big thanks to Dainon, too, who provided me with presents, just for sitting in on his show and screwing it up! I like presents.

Playlist from this morning available here. The recording starts with Loney Dear’s song “Saturday waits.”

Next week, Atherton is live in studio!

Libbie Linton

Lots of catching up to do! Posted below you’ll find the last three (3!) Thursday Breakfast Jams. Last week, 6.21.2007, local singer/songwriters Paul Jacobsen and Libbie Linton joined us in the studio, and for your listening convenience, I’ve also provided mp3s of their songs.

Paul Jacobsen

Playlists available here, here and here, respectively.

Next week, I’ll be in the Scion from Zion on a road trip to the Pacific Northwest. The plan is Boise, Portland and Seattle. Got a trip recommendation? Let me know!

At any rate, I won’t be manning the board next Thursday morning. I will be, however, leaving you in the very capable hands of former Monday Drivetime hostess, Sabra. Seriously, you’re gonna enjoy it.

2007-06-07T15:42:00.000-05:00

Pretty fun show, but it did feel a bit rushed. Playlist available here.

Today, we were joined in-studio by Austin and Ryan, two members of Kid Theodore. Kid Theodore releases its first full-length record, Hello Rainey, tomorrow. To pick up a copy, check out a CD release show at Kilby Court, visit the band’s Myspace, or swing by Slowtrain.

Next week, we’ll be joined by some more ladies from the Salt City Derby Girls. They’ll be talking about the June 16 bout, the Sisters of No Mercy vs. the Bomber Babes.

Stay loose,

Podcast: 5.31.2007 Thursday Breakfast Jam

2007-06-01T16:39:00.000-05:00

Bit of a last minute trip last week, so no podcast a'coming for 5.24. Big thanks to Kristina and Emily for filling in.

This week, I was back in the saddle. Or on-air booth. Playlist available here.

In studio next week, Salt Lake's Kid Theodore

Next week, we'll have a live, in-studio performance from Kid Theodore, who get set to release their record, Hello Rainey. They'll also be having a CD release party/show at Kilby Court next Friday, June 8.

In other news, I shaved el beardo and am rocking the handlebars. Here's a photo:

Actually, that's my role model--the sometimes big league back-up catcher, sometimes minor-league-backstop, always ruggedly handsome--Sal Fasano.

Podcast: 5.17 Thursdahttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.y Breakfast Jam, featuring a live performance from The Mollies, plus the Salt City Derby Girls

2007-05-17T13:40:00.000-05:00

Plenty of screw-ups this morning, including a couple of iPod malfunctions and a full-on iPod meltdown, but it was so busy and such a fun show, I didn’t have time to worry about it.

Battle Bunny and Danger Wheels Robinson, two members of the Salt City Derby Girls, were in during the 7:00 hour to discus this Saturday’s bout. The Leave it to Cleavers are taking on the Death Dealers. Should be fun.

The Mollies perform tonight, Kilby Court, 7:30

Then, during the 8:00 hour, The Mollies joined me in studio with a long list of instruments. KRCL being a volunteer organization and all, it’s tough to get a sound engineer out of bed (even for primetime programming during the morning drivetime). So, instead of setting this trio up in the sound studio, we ran it all acoustic through the vocal microphones in the on-air studio.

It was challenging, as the studio only has three mics—including mine—so I shared one with Vivian, the cellist. She used my flip-flop to steady the base of her cello and I had to suck in the gut to steer clear of hew bow while she played. Ah, professionalism!

You can check them out tonight at Kilby Court at 7:30.

Today's playlist available here.

A little behind, but that's because work's been quite busy. I'm very important after all. Well, not really.

5.3.2007 is broken into four tracks instead of two. The CD burner was going a little crazy last week.

I'm having trouble converting disc two of today's show to mp3, so that may come later, if it comes at all.

Slingin’ off of Sherb

2007-04-04T13:19:00.000-05:00

It’s tough being a displaced Red Sox fan. Especially when you’re in a town that doesn’t have a MLB team of its own [no offense Salt Lake Bees (or whatever your name happens to be this season)].

Daisuke wants me to watch him pitch. I'm trying, brother. Really.

The douches that run MLB have made it even tougher by trying to give exclusive rights to broadcast the MLB Extra Innings package solely to DirecTV. Extra Innings is an additional premium service that allows viewers to watch up to 60 baseball games per week; more importantly, it’s allowed me to watch Sox games, even though I haven’t lived in Boston in years. Until this season, Extra Innings has been available with all major cable and satellite providers. (Technically, it’s not official, but it’s pretty clear what MLB is partial to the exclusive deal with DirecTV.)

Bastards.

Luckily, due to an increase in Red Sox Nation population, the Sox are scheduled for 14 national broadcasts this year. But that still leaves 148 games. That’s where my buddy Sherb comes in.

He lives in western Maine, well within the broadcast area of NESN, where the majority of the games are televised. Sherb picked up a fancy doohickey pretty recently: a Slingbox.

A blessed piece of technology.

Essentially, it’s connected to his cable box and his internet feed and allows him (or me) to watch his local cable from anywhere in the world.

Thank goodness.

Today's Podcast: one half of a craptacular Thursday Breakfast Jam

2007-03-29T12:59:00.000-05:00

Page France perform live tonight at Kilby Court.

Bit of a rugged broadcast this morning. My apologies go out to you, especially if you tried to bare with it and listen anyway.

What was wrong? Good question, and I don't know the exact answer. I'm no sound engineer, after all. Luckily, we do have a very good sound engineer and he was able to correct the problem, so it shouldn't be something you have to deal with again.

To make things even more fun, after 79 minutes of recording, the CD recorder opted to spit out the first disc blank. So, we've only got the second half of the program available for download.

Still, it was a fun program with some good music. Playlist available here.

Thanks and get your wallets ready… Radiothon's only a couple week's out.

Laura Gibson

This morning's show.

I'd have to say that my favorite part, which came after the second disc was full (and you wouldn't be able to see it anyway, since these are MP3s, not video files), was when the DJ following me shook her head at my antics of putting the studio speakers to full tilt and rocking out to Dinosaur Jr.

She shakes her head a lot.

Playlist for the show is here. Don't forget to visit the show online at myspace.com/breakfastjam. It's also worth mentioning that Laura Gibson and the Band of Annuals will be performing live tomorrow night at Slow Train Music (221 E. Broadway, SLC) tomorrow at 8pm. Be there or be square.
