Brainstu Radio: October 10th, 2011 Show Rundown



October 10th, 2011 Show Rundown

Segment 1

We begin this show very happy, which is not normal. Mike is very happy his 49ers beat the Buccaneers by 40 points and Hammy is happy his beloved Green Bay Packers are 5-0

Hammy quickly gets annoyed and says he almost got into a physical confrontation with a (looked like one) crackhead mom because he didn’t buy candy from her kid. Hammy says even if he did have cash on him, he didn’t want any candy.

Back to NFL talk, Michael Irvin said on NFL network last night that the Packers COULD go 16-0. As excited as Hammy is by that announcement, they won’t do it. We compare this Packers team with the 2007 Patriots, who did go 16-0, but thankfully lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl

We then vent a little bit about a station that WAS going to syndicate us, but snubbed us and ignored us.

Hammy explains that the owner of the station hasn’t downloaded Lust N Love (which is syndicated there) in months and claims that a former EdgeFM host might have said something, but he doesn’t know yet.

We re-tell the story of learning what kind of person Frank from HNB, our old station, is. Hammy say’s Frank gave him a “manager” position, yet all he wanted Hammy to do was spy on other shows and find out who is trashing the station.

Douche…

Hammy tells a story about talking to Cluster F Radio, among other shows, to start our own internet station, but Frank prevented that from happening.

Hammy say’s last weeks Royce & Falcone was some of the funniest bashing free-for-all radio he’s ever heard and no one on the show was safe.

We talk about The Fifth Circle, which Hammy say’s did a fantastic job at pointing out the many flaws of the people that are protesting. (Listen to the show yourself
Here
)

We also give a big shoutout to Derek, who was the “man on the street” that made this entire show happen. Follow him
@Derek712

After some more talk about the protesters, we read the
“Non-Official” list of demands
the protesters are calling for.

A few callers, Royce from Hippojuice among them, give feedback to the conversation.

Realizing that we’ve been going for almost 2 hours on this topic, we finally go on a break

Song Break

Beastie Boys – Make Some Noise

Segment 2

Doug Brian (on Skype) reveals he once paid for a hand job.

We discussed the angry priest that is trying to prevent New York
naming a street after George Carlin
. Doug say’s it’s bullshit that some controversial race leaders have streets named after them and Carlin can’t get any recognition.

The conversation turned to the psychopath filled family known as the Duggars, who have their own TLC show just because they have a lot of children. Oh, they believe humans and dinosaurs existed together just like The Flinstones, among other ridiculous bible beliefs…

We took a look at some of their other religious beliefs and their “buddy” system, meaning the mother has so many children, that the older children have to help look after the small children. We read an interview they gave after their most recent child was born 3 months early, where the mother said they would welcome more children. We find out that before baby 2, the mother had a miscarriage. She believes “the Lord will tell her when to stop having babies”.

Doug thinks one of the older daughters, Jessa, is hot. Well, we agree…

We discussed the new iPhone 4S, and how it didn’t WOW us like Apple said it would. Hammy say’s it will be impressive if it performs at 4G speeds without needing a 4G network like Apple say’s it would, then it will be the leader of the mobile phones. Hammy also say’s the camera and Siri will be the big selling features. We take a look at the video demonstration of Siri, and we are scared by how intelligent the technology is…



Skynet BETA…

We finish the show debating which amateur rap song is worse, “Who Got Dat Work” by Cashville Money Squad or our favorite fat dumb rapper, Locomotive Curt…

Brainstu Radio: September 12th, 2011 Show Rundown



September 12th, 2011 Show Rundown

Segment 1

WE’RE BACK! After an almost month long absence from the wonderful world of unpaid internet radio, we return to EdgeFM happy to be back. Hammy say’s although he loved vacation and being stuck in Florida, he missed doing the show.

The hosts of EdgeFM are doing a Fantasy Football game and Dutch (from Hippojuice and Dutch & Royce) is very annoyed he’s losing to Hammy, who’s team was all picked automatically and 3 of his starters are injured.

We obviously couldn’t go through this show without mentioning that yesterday was the 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Hammy talks about how his Dad worked just a few blocks away from the WTC and how 9/11 means more to people in the New York and Washington DC then people in the mid-west or west coast just because a lot of people on the east coast knew people that worked in New York.

We talked about Muslims in a Tennessee town that are being terrorized because they want to build a Mosque and the folks in the town down want it.

Hammy tells a story about how he got into a fight with a “Truther” a few years ago on the anniversary of 9/11 because he tried helping a mourning family member that was being harrassed by the “Truthers”.

Hammy talks about getting stuck in Florida while Hurricane Irene flooded most of the New York area. He talks about hanging out with Royce, Marie and the Hippojuice gang and says he had a great time. (Check them out at Hippojuice.com)

Mike talks about the possibility of moving to florida because his family might be selling the house in Jersey and everything is cheaper in Florida. We talk about how houses might be cheap, but jobs pay less and gas is more expensive in Florida.

We talk about Fantasy Football. Mike says it gives you a reason to cheer for other teams besides your own. Hammy says this is his first year and he is addicted. He tells a story about a league he is in with friends that he couldn’t make the draft for and they drafted him nothing but kickers, punters and the Miami Dolphins defense.

Hammy says he is happy Dutch is annoyed that his hand-picked team is losing against Hammys auto-picked team. Hammy says he won’t change anything about his team except change players that are on a bye weeks and see how many games he wins.

Hammy talks about his cruise and says he loved the Oasis Of The Seas, the Royal Caribbean ship he took.

Hammy says the only problem with security was getting his $300 stereo headphones off of the ship. Customs had an issue with them and wanted to see if they were a bomb.

We discuss 9/11 again and how Hollywood is gonna eventually make a “Titanic” like love story surrounding the attacks. We guessed that a “Titanic” like love story surrounding the 9/11 attacks will be released by 2051, the 50 year anniversary of the attacks.

We talked about Country music artists that already released “I love America” type songs right after the attacks and made lots of money profiting over peoples patriotism, like Tobey Keith’s “Courtesy Of The Red, White & Blue”

Hammy says all Country music sounds exactly the same and Country stations play the national anthem at 12 Noon every day to salute the troops. We agree that patriotism is fine, but Country stations and singers are too much and not necessary. Hammy broke down the 7 stereotypes that are in almost every single Country song:

1. Mention God and Jesus

2. Talk about your “Country” life

3. Mourning a lost loved one or bad relationship

4. Praising the military and America

5. Mention other artists that are as “Country” as you are.

6. Mention a pickup truck, usually a Chevy

7. The entire song is about what you did that day (“Went to work, drank beer, danced with girls, etc.”)

We took a look at the top Country songs on the Billboard charts and guessed what the songs were about just based off the song title.

Hammy says the worst thing about Country and music in general is the fact that Taylor Swift is famous because every song she writes are bitter songs about previous boyfriends. We play her latest single “Mean”.

Hammy says although we just trashed Country music for the past 30 minutes, he loves Motley Crue and songs like “Girls, Girls, Girls”, where they just talk about having sex with women.

We talk about Johnny Cash, a Country artist we actually like. After a few more minutes of music talk, we finally take a break.

Break 1 Songs

Foo Fighters – Bridge Burning

Orgy – Blue Monday

Johnny Cash – I Walk The Line

Segment 2

Mike complains about how bad his car is and talks about how his engine gives off a foul smell and parts are constantly breaking. Feedback comes in with what kind of car Mike should get.

We are beginning to really like Katt Williams. During a recent show, he trashed a Mexican man in the audience and people are outraged.

We discussed his interview on CNN after the incident with the news anchor trying to get an apology from Katt.

Break 2 Songs

Anthrax – I Am The Law

Sevendust – Denial

Segment 3

To finish up the show, we discussed a fat man that is suing White Castle because the booths are too small for him. The 64 year old man has been complaining about the booth sizes for over 2 years.

Feedback Line Of The Day

“I’ll bet she’s DTF – Down To Fetch” – EllisfromPhilly

EDGE FM Talks!

Beginning this past Monday, you might have noticed a new profile picture on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.. as well as status updates with the last few words saying ‘EDGE FM Talks’. You might have wondered, ‘What’s that about?’ Quite simply, it’s our new campaign to push that EDGE FM is different than the other plethora of stations around the web.

We are obviously a talk station… we have been since April 2008 and will remain so for as long as possible. Since the format change back in 2008 to around-the-clock talk, we have been a very strong source for talk programming with a taste of something for everybody. We’ve had shows on the station ranging from male-oriented talk/hot talk, relationship talk, sports talk, random/news-related talk and more.

EDGE FM is centered on focusing about talk that people of all demographics can relate to in some form. It doesn’t necessarily have to be raunchy or ‘over the top’ to be good talk radio. Radio is (and should always be) in my opinion ‘theater of the mind’. Creating that spark with the audience using just the human voice is a talent that in my opinion has been lost over the past decade or so in radio. People have been too much relying on visual aids to connect with the audience, picking fights with other people/shows/stations, or overloading on social media such as Facebook or Twitter and the magic of radio has been lost. Creating the audience connection using purely voice is a craft, and with the Internet having such untapped potential for radio in a new form, maybe it’s time to return to the roots of radio.

In essence, the ‘EDGE FM talks’ slogan is a reflection upon who we are as a station and my outlook toward the future. We are YOUR Internet talk station and while I’m not speaking for all of the shows, it is my goal to run a station that once more can create that spark with the listener. Even if it’s just through one show.

We are the place where talk lives, and talking is what we do, better than anyone else in my opinion. We hope you feel the same way. Thanks for listening to our station and checking out our programming. To tweak the title of a David Essex song…

Talk On.

101.9 FM New… what’s going on?

As an update to the whole situation with 101.9 FM in NYC, not much has changed since my post over the weekend. As of Friday at 5pm, the RXP rock format left the airwaves and continues to ‘rock’ (if that’s what you want to call it) at 1019rxp.com. The FM signal however, took a format change. To be more specific, the station is currently ‘stunting’ (radio jargon for ‘filler programming until the real format is ready for air’).

However, the stunting has been interesting (to us radio dorks, anyway). With all of the rumors that 101.9 FM will be flipping to a female-oriented FM talk station, the current format on the air has been leaning to that in an odd way. After flipping the switch last Friday at 5pm eastern, 101.9 has been playing a very tight-playlisted rock leaning Modern AC format of music (artists such as Nickelback, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Jason Mraz, Sugar Ray, Eddie Money, Bruce Springsteen, Rick Springfield, to name a few) interspliced with soundbytes of women identifying the station as ’101-9 FM New’ and talking about womenly things (shoes, their families, kids, and even chocolate) as well as a few jingles tossed in for good measure. While the music has been pretty good (to me, anyway) providing a nice variety, the soundbytes have been a bit puzzling. Is 101.9 making fun of AC-based stations such as Fresh 102.7 and 106.7 Lite FM, or is it a hint of what’s to come… OR, are the new owners at Merlin Media just putting up a smokescreen to throw us in an entirely different direction with the new format?

LISTEN TO THE CHANGE FROM RXP TO ’101.9 FM New’ at FormatChange.com!
(Right click and save the .mp3 file, streaming didn’t work for me)

To be honest, any of those questions could be valid. It’s been interesting that a few former news people from area news talk stations have been hired by Merlin, to be part of the new format at 101.9. All bets are on some form of news/talk hybrid coming to the dial with a younger approach than what’s on AM. The rumors have also been speculating that the new format at 101.9 will be similar to what’s on the air at NJ101.5. Some of the people in charge of the new 101.9 have previously worked at NJ101.5, helping to lead some credence to those rumors.

Whatever is going to happen is still up in the air. No one is talking, but everyone on the Internet has their opinions. Ideas, opinions and rumors have been running rampant on the various radio trade sites, message boards and other spots on the Internet. Officially, nothing is concrete… but in the end, that’s one thing that’s for sure about radio… is that NOTHING is for sure.

I’ll be posting more about the situation as 101.9 FM in NYC as things happen, so stay tuned.

Good riddance, 101.9 RXP!

What a piece of trash for a rock station it was… for the past 3.5 years, 101.9 FM in New York City was a ‘contempory rock’/'AAA’ format. From the beginning, the station had no clue in direction. They played old rock, new rock and tried to position themselves as ‘NY’s Rock Experience’. What a crock of shit.

Finally after 3 years of hearing bands I’ve never heard of and don’t care for when I flip to the station for a rock fix (Vampire Weekend? Mumford and Sons? Vivabrother? Interpol? WHO THE FUCK?), the station is finally moving on to a newer (and more ambitious) venture. After Emmis Communications sold off 101.9 to Merlin Media earlier this summer, it was highly speculated that a format change would be coming. Pardon the pun, but that news was ‘music’ to my ears. Merlin will be flipping 101.9 to a female-leaning news/talk format later this summer. Here’s a quick quote from the NY Daily News -

WRXP (101.9 FM), which switched from smooth jazz to rock in February 2008, is being sold by Emmis to Merlin Media, and while the deal hasn’t closed yet, Merlin takes over the programming Friday.

Listeners will hear music for a couple of weeks until Merlin launches its new format, expected to be all or mostly news targeting women in their 30s and 40s.

On the surface, this change might seem to again support the often-heard mantra that when it comes to radio music, New York is a rhythm town, not a rock town.

The call letters at 101.9 are also expected to be changed to WYNY and the URL 1019wyny.com has been purchased by Merlin Media and is currently parked by GoDaddy.

For the rock fans, I don’t know what to say. Rock deserves to live in NYC, just like it’s heyday back in the 70s when 102.7 was WNEW… but it seems the crap that’s being called rock that spewing out of the record labels these days just can’t cut it in the big city that never sleeps. If you’re looking for 92.3 to flip back to K-ROCK anytime soon, don’t bet on that either. 92.3 NOW as a CHR/Top-40 format currently has the highest cume of listeners since the late 90′s when it was K-ROCK with Howard Stern in mornings. Q104 is currently the only place in NYC to hear rock on terrestrial radio, and you know what? With rock sounding the way it does today, that may be the perfect thing to happen.

I’d love to tell you what’s on the air at 101.9 right now but I’m not near a radio… going to RXP’s website takes you to their online stream where their ‘rock experience’ is still going on. I’ll be looking forward to news/talk on the FM dial, especially a nice change from the heavy stuff you hear on AM’s talk stations.

I’d post more right now, but I’ve got to get some sleep for work in the morning. I’ll make more postings in the coming days and report on more radio news. Enjoy, folks.

The Best Talk Variety

As said many times, EDGE FM is the place to go if you want to hear more talk than you can shake a stick at. Each show on EDGE FM has their own niche or shtick that is sure to interest someone, somewhere.

It begins on Monday nights with The Filler Show, who read off the news, perform great interviews, deliver your pranks and jokes and more. Right after they end off, The Fantasy Vixen Show picks up with a unique perspective on relationships from the point of view of two latina women, one married… the other, not so much.

On Wednesdays, it’s The EDGE w/Mike & Sal, a show with a purpose… which is mainly to inform. The EDGE keeps you up to date on whats going on out there in the real world… and their twist on it… can sometimes either piss you off or enlighten you. They prefer to piss you off. Then, they deliver lifestyle talk which can range from helping you gain confidence, find a new job, play the stock market or even something as simple as to how to pour a good drink.

Thursdays come around with a second helping of The Filler Show, then the weekend hits and the programming week begins once again.

With all of the different topics and point of views that get thrown around and expressed, it’s easy to say that EDGE FM is the place where talk lives… or rules, or something.
