Happy Sunday Kids, I’m almost fully recovered from this weird flu bug I’ve been fighting for a few days now, but even better than that – my screwed up left foot is feeling a bit better. I still haven’t left the house in more than 48 hours but it’s getting there at least. Anyway, let’s get right to it shall we? It’s been a busy weekend even if I haven’t moved more than about 20 feet the whole time so why don’t we get caught up before heading into another grueling work week…
- First off, I’ve had a few tweets and DM’s to let me know that the archiving of The Cort & Fatboy Show, The Rick Emerson Show, Viva la Luna, and CBS Radio Theater is well underway here: http://flpvp.com/mehfugees, register for the forum, check out the podcast archive. That’s gotta be a pretty tedious process so please be sure to thank everyone involved over there for their time and effort.
- If you haven’t pulled KUFO off of your radio tuner preset thingy yet, it’s worth giving it a listen for a few seconds today so that you can hear “the countdown loop”. Can you say “gimmicky”? I wonder if KUFO’s advertisers were warned ahead of time that the airtime they purchased would be delayed for days while station management executes a piss poor publicity stunt?
- Third… Marconi tweeted out a repost of the KUFO.com video ad and managed to get me to click and watch it, gosh thanks man – I think you owe me two minutes of my life now. It does clear up a few things though – namely that $7.45 doesn’t buy much of a video and that the Alpha suits are quite a bit more out of touch than anyone would have guessed. Find the link for yourself if you’re curious, I believe that shit should be flushed, not spread.
Finally, consider this – KUFO will be betting that you and I will forget all of this in a week. We’re not just numbers on a graph to them, we’re numbers on a graph with serious ADD. I solemnly promise to NEVER listen to another station owned by Alpha Broadcasting again. I don’t need to encourage you as a Portlander to do the same, you already know the difference between right and wrong.

For shame KUFO….for shame.
Thanks for the site plug. We are indeed working very hard to archive these shows before Alpha yanks them away. Viva la Luna is safe, CBS Radio Theater is safe, and C&FB is almost safe (the ‘08 podcasts are the only ones left). The Rick Emerson Show is the real task ahead of us. We plan on trying to archive not only his days on KUFO, but his AM 970 days too. That is a whole lotta files to download and we suspect that we only have a few days to do it. If anyone would like to help archive Rick’s stuff, please join the forum.
