special times!

if there's anyone out there who cares, 'hook heavy' has been off the air for a few weeks while i have been home for break.

However, hook heavy will be back 1/8 and 1/15 at a special time, midnight - 2 am, instead of 2 am - 4 am. we can all be thankful for that :) i'll be out of town the next week.. not exactly sure what will be going on after that, but stay tuned! :P

12/18/06 (holiday show!)

12/4/06

ummm this is the night that i distinctly remember as being the one when the emergency broadcasting thing went off. that is, in the middle of the oasis song, big red flashing lights went out in the control room (Me? no freakin idea what was going on!!!! so scared, haha), and the EBS thing took over. an experience, to say the least. i also remember this show as when a few random people messaged me online, so that was fun... quite enjoyable, it was nice to know that people were listening :)


also, this was the show after that saturday's Matt Pond PA concert at Axis. tickets c/o the station, the first time i had utilized that. it was a really good concert; i discovered a really great artist, Kevin Devine, an opener. good stuff.

11/20/06

yayyyy i am finally able to log onto this! long story short, had to erase everything on my laptop (able to salvage music, documents, pictures; but lost saved passwords, away msgs, all settings, playlists, etc), and i definitely managed to forget the login name for this blog. there was much confusion on my part, but i think that's better. but anways, it's now 2007, and i have five or six playlists to post, haha. talk about procrastination... but here's the furthest back,

just remembered that this was my first feeble attempt at a pseudo-concept show... that is, it was before thanksgiving so i had a song featuring the word 'turkey,' haha, and i had some fire-centric songs because my dorm had had a fire alarm earlier that night. but then during the show i realized that i had threeee songs with the word 'fire' in the title, and that just felt too iffy to me. it freaked me out a bit, so i only played 2 of the songs :)
