While I am quite a bit on the air these days, it's one thing to do your shifts but a completely different thing to do yours and those of the folks who never showed up to the station. Even in writing that last sentence, I feel ... http://herjazz.org/maria/2008/06/11/1181 I've kidnapped WPRB. You cannot have it back. Well, maybe you can if you ask nicely.

Thanks to Maura for sending this! http://herjazz.org/maria/2008/04/17/1171 Rest assured, I have not gone soft: when I heard the news about Polvo reuniting, I freaked out like a schoolgirl.

I got a ticket to today's taping of The Colbert Report. I'll post updates from it here. Big thanks to Penn Democrats for making my dream a reality! I am unbelievably psyched! http://herjazz.org/maria/2008/04/14/1167 Readers of this blog are well aware that I'm quite fond of WPRB to the point that I will say it's the best damn radio station in the whole wide world -- and our neighbor/friend/hot date to the north, WFMU, is not so shabby either -- BUT this station trumps ... http://herjazz.org/maria/2008/04/11/1166 I gotta give a small shout-out to the Gdowiks -- without these people, Philadelphia wouldn't be half as fun as it can be at times.
