4/4: The 1990 Debut Special

Posted: April 4, 2008 by bshanks in Playlists

SOTD: Since I was going for the 90 theme, I have to go with the band I played today that had their debut in 1990:
Breeders | Walk It Off | Mountain Battles | 4AD | CD 08

Making fun of Bernsie has been the best-received thing I have ever done in the station.

Number of times I confused Ben Kochan with Ted Young in one conversation: 3. I kept saying “Ted” and he kept saying “BEN!!” but I thought it was just Ted asking if I was still there. Sorry Ben.

I like that New Frustrations 7″. I’ve had a history of liking Lemuria, but I don’t know how good this new album is yet- I haven’t really had a chance to listen. Its very poppunk. They were the topic of this comic, in fact. And while I’m shilling Mitch Clem comics, since I did lead with Jawbreaker, I have to include this one too.

LRC Website hacked, limping along

Posted: April 1, 2008 by Chris in News

This humble little website was hacked sometime last week. I’m sure at least some (if not all) of the blame falls on me for failing to keep WordPress, the software that runs the site, up to date.

All of the kudos for preventing more terrible things from happening, and for resurrecting the site, go to Ted, WMBR Webmaster extraordinaire and long-time Tuesday Breakfast of Champions DJ.

We should be back up in full operation sometime soon.

Thanks for your patience!

(Even if this post sounds like an April Fool’s joke, it isn’t, I swear!)
