Thanksgiving with William S. Burroughs

Election Day

Now, I'm of the firm belief that the best government would be a benign dictatorship headed by yours truly. Since my gang of hired goons hasn't come back from their recent trip to South America, I guess I'll have to put off plans for my junta. In that spirit here are my endorsements for the November 7th US Election. Your obedience in following my lead is appreciated.
On the Massachusetts Ballot Questions.

Question 1: which would allow grocery stores and convenience stores to sell wine. Vote No, not for any of the so-called "public Safety issues", but simply because it will mean longer lines both at the checkout and at the bottle return at my local supermarkets The stores are already short staffed, and now the lines will come to a grinding halt for booze sales. Thanks but no thanks, if I want booze I'll go two doors down to the liquor store.

Question 2: which would change the way candidates names appear and are tabulated may strengthen 3rd party candidates. Vote Yes.

Question 3: which would allow Child Care providers to bargain collectively with the state. Thumbs up. These are the folks that are closest to the little ones, so they know better what would help

State Rep: Anne Gobie (D 5th Worcester District) has stood up for gay marriage and with a few exceptions votes in sync with the WDOA political machine.

Governor/Lt. Governor: Deval Patrick/Tim Murray Enough already with the crap that's been coming out of the corner office in Boston for the last several years. Make no mistake though Deval Patrick and co. are going to have to show results or it will be a one term administration. Middle income people in this state are getting crushed by skyrocketing property taxes, increasing electric rates (gee, that competition thing voted in a few years ago has really helped us out hasn't it) Also it has to be noted that Tim Murray at risk to reputation has appeared in the past at Wormtown activities and has also visited the wdoa studios.

Live Broadcast

Hey folks we are having a party at WDOA central this Saturday and will have a variety of DJ's and such at times spinning tunes that will be streaming live over this interweb thing. We also may have some live rock & roll played in studio, but we'll have to see if we can technically get our collective heads out of our asses, and also placate the neighbors not to call the cops.
We will have a link on the main WDOA page around 2PMEDT (1800 GMT). Can't promise professional or even entertaining program, but then again it might turn out to be.

September 2001 Show

Dug from the archives, Life In The Foodchain recorded shortly after the 911 attacks.

It's a new Life In The Foodchain

Despite a nasty cold trying to sideline me, made it down to the Woodstock Fair to kick the weekend off seeing Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Good time was had by all, initially there were some problems with Joan's monitors but once those got worked out the show quickly picked up steam. Played a mix of the older hits, plus quite a few tracks off her new album "Sinner" . Those expecting some sort of 80's oldies act were in for shock. The new songs kick hard. She self censored herself though (probably in deference to the number of kiddos in the audience) removing the f-bomb from a song entitled "Fetish",. As a bonus a nice version of the Mary Tyler Moore theme was performed. Also lot's of pictures from the show here. She also performed "Riddles" which from my view got a less than warm reception. Bush may be down in the polls, but that still is "God's Country" and a lot of these folks still haven't woken up to the fact that "Shrub" is topping one of the worst administrations in the history of this country. (Soap Box mode now off).
Today just got done recording a new Life In The Foodchain, pay no attention to the super nasal voice as my cold is taking it's toll. Matter of fact after uploading this, I think I'm getting something to eat, taking a dose of "coma in a bottle" then crawling into bed.

fighting the non motivational monster

Okay, finally I promise to post a new version of "Life In The Foodchain" this weekend. After all it's suppose to rain so time to dust off the speakers.
Tonight Heidi, Jeff Worm and I are heading down to the Woodstock Fair in CT where Joan Jett is playing. Her new album is great, will be interesting to see how the anti-Bush numbers play in the backwoods. Will issue a report later, hopefully with pictures over on the WDOA web site.

Summer Swan Song

Well here we are with September quickly approaching, shit , the leaves are already starting to turn.
A good summer was had by all, the Wife and I tried to make the most out of days we could tear away from the man!
Stopped in Otis Ma.
Next went to the lovely town of Palmer.
My Worm Bro Jeff and I went to Salem.
And the Wife and I again went to visit her kin in Vermont.
And Jeff and I still found the time to do more rock than worms should be allowed.
Catch up with the latest,
A show we did on 8/19/06 where we drank and played totally mental tunes, drank some more and then burned stuff in the backyard.
And then the recorded history of the show we went to Salem to see.
A tribute to Alpo from The Real Kids
Boy amn I tired!
Here's hoping the fall will be a little more restful, now that vacation times gone.
The interweb isn't playing nice so you'll have to look 'em up yourself

The future is unwritten......

But with the latest installment of Thw Worm Bros, there is hope.
This show features a bunch of kids from Ketchum, Idaho called
Young People With Faces. I've been trading messages with this band ever since I heard them on WFMU back in the winter. They told me they were coming to the northeast to tour with The Sleazies from Providence, RI , so I had to get them to come up to Wormtown. You'll hear them live at The Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester, and also on WCUW 91.3 fm with myself, Jeff, and Captain PJ, on his long running Rockin' Revolution program.
There is hope for the future of Punk, with bands like this keeping the spirit alive.

Boy did Mike name this station right.

Scary Monsters

Ragga, Rock and Hunger.
This week, Jeff celebrates the Return of Creature Double Feature to the airwaves of TV via Ch 56. He drags out more monster songs than you can shake a ghoul at. I bring in the old Reggae lps that have been gathering too much dust in the library, salute Desmond Dekker, and play something brand new from a western Mass. band called The Hunger Mountain Boys.
As Jeff put it, "it's another schitzo-phonic show!"

Enjoy, LB

The Worm Boys

Well howdy there. This time around we decided to forget the rock and play nothin' but good ole , down home , country music. I pulled songs from my yard sale collection and Jeff played stuff from his obscure collection. So grab a cold one, put the cows in the barn and have yourself a good old hoe-down.
hoot-n-annie
OH, and I forgot to post the last show with The Screaming YeeHaws, The Wrong Reasons and Sasquatch and the Sickabillys. Probaly what inspired this latest show.

US Congress Bill to ban all MP3 Streaming

Here we go folks, our favorite scumbags the RIAA using their lobby dollars to buy technologically challenged politicians. The bill would ban all streaming media in the US from using MP3 technology and would require all streaming to be done with a Digital Rights Management compliant software. More Here.....

Net Neutrality

Nice debate in the WSJ on Net Neutrality.

Hell or high water

We deliver!
While Jeff manned the Wormstead, Me and the Mrs took the high road to Maine for all the flood action. But before we left, I rushed through a new set of LIVE stuff from Ralphs'
Darkbuster, Boston punk legends,
Cobra-Matics, Providences' roots rock featuring The Colonel formerly of The Crowns.
The Narragansett was flowing like the Blackstone River.
And we saw some good flood action downeast.
Listen , and dry off...
