Beaver Lodge - October 30th SPOOOKY SHOW

Trick or beaver! Welcome to the super special spoooooky beaver special show. I tried my darnest to do a set list with spoooooky songs, although most of these are quite, y'know, cheery, so fuck it. The names are vaguely creepy! Quiver in fear before me, tiny mortals!

You Say Party! We Say Die! - Monster

The Creepshow - Buried Alive

Tsunami Bomb - Planet, Schmanet, Janet

Remember! Help me keep the show on air: donate! My children need wine!

Beaver Lodge - October 23, 2008

Here's to another week.

This opening set feels incredibly laid back. Also, listening back to my interviews, I realize how odd I sound. I'm amazed sometimes that the guests don't just scream, "YOU'RE WEIRD." and slam the phone down.

I'd like to thank Ryan for coming on the show and not doing that.

Atomic 7 - Chock Full O'Notes
Jill Barber - Oh My My
Flotilla - Volcano
Elsiane - Morphing
Mother Mother - Body of Years
Modern Boys Modern Girls - Leave the Army, Lose Completely
Metric - Handshakes
Dance Yourself to Death - Chemical Reaction
Hunter Valentine - Break This
Die Mannequin - Hand In Hand
Crimson in the Attic - A Rising Crescendo
Stars - Look Up
Creature - Bridget Bardot

I AM WATCHING YOU FROM MY RADIO CAMERA.

That is all.

Blodge 1.5: I am currently eating all the celery in your fridge.

THIS WEEK ON THE BEAVER LODGE:

• An interview with Ryan Guldemon from Mother Mother, in which we discuss the finer points of American politics and the economic crisis (and if you believe that last half of that sentence, you clearly have not tuned into the show before and should go back to listening to Take 5 in the mornings).
• Info about FUN-D-RAISING, because you can't spell "fundraising" without "gin".
• A call for Halloween stories, costume ideas, and for you to bring me candy at the station next week.

Stop chewing my desk,

The Beaver Lodge: THE BLOGGING OF THE BLODGE

Oh crap, you found me.

Welcome to the attempted opening of the Beaver Lodge Blog (or the Blodge, for short). Here I will list all kinds of fun things, such as:

• song listings!
• upcoming interviews!
• news for the Facebook impaired or those avoiding its all-seeing eyes!
• random thoughts that I have while I'm hosting the show that somehow don't make it into the babbling that I do on-air.

So since I'm currently writing this on a Saturday and am nowhere near the station, I don't really have much to add in the vein of the last bullet point (although I am contemplating going out and buying a pomegranate because I feel like a snack), but for the people who requested a site for those who are desperately trying to avoid the sticky, unforgiving clutches of Facebook, here's the track listing for last week:

Cheers,
