AFS v. 206 ~ Everyone's a Winner!


Because awards shows are always a popularity contest and utter sham, I've often dreamt of renting a tuxedo for a week and hitting the road for a week to do an awards ceremony tour. Of course, being the big posi-vibin' softie I am, y'know I'd hate to have any losers. But that's okay...I can still give an award to every band I like if I only make up a highly specialized category for each. See below the playlist for this week AFS Awards Winners...

i've got boxes of those XHoA Albums in my basement.

DJ Rick said...

Cool! The only Google result I found on "XHOA Yap" was some guy's record collection with one-line reviews/explanations. He said his had a ton of inserts. Mine doesn't, so do you have inserts, too?

Jeff said...

Am I the only one having technical problems listening to the 320 k file? The right side of my headphones keeps going out (first on the Nodzzz track and again on the 2nd Matt K.

Or maybe it's time for new headphones...(?)

DJ Rick said...

Hmmmm....I won't be able to check 'til Thursday night. Can anyone else comment on that for Jeff?

Or, Jeff...You could send an email to webmaster (at) kdvs (dot) org and describe the problem. Answering such emails isn't his top priority, but he usually does get back to listeners with these kindsa concerns.

Damn no prize for me, haha

DJ Rick said...

It didn't occur to me at first, but Pens wins the award for most refreshing punk girlpower from Great Britain since the Phantom Pregnancies. You ladies are definitely on my watch list.

Yea the initial ones we sent out, which were distributed Dutch East or who ever was selling Dutch East to our contact, were full of inserts.
Lyric sheets pictures of band members, rants etc.
I've got all that stuff in boxes. ?SOMEWHERE?.
Feel free to email me i was involved in a number of project you might like. Everyone as unmarketable as the next more or less.

Is that Shrugg CDR available anywhere?

Anonymous said...

i need that Spider 12"!!!!!

where can i get it?

DJ Rick said...

For the Shrugg CDR, try his MySpace. I don't really know if it's "available", really, but try anyway.

Spider 12"es look scarce already. I'm surprised that they were available that long really. Try calling into Academy Records in NYC to make a stock check.

Good luck!

Hi
purchase acomplia

After this drug was introduced in the market, there have been independent studies suggested that the side effects are stronger as what is stated by the manufacturer studies.

It must be taken on empty stomach for faster absorption and it is suggested to avoid eating breakfast for 1 hour after taking the medication.

It was Europe who first started to use this drug together with diet and exercise with patients having a BMI of greater than 30.
