I apologize profusely for not utilizing this blog before now, but I'd like any possible readers of this post to know that that's all in the past. Today marks the first day of a new era in my life. To celebrate this new era, let's take a look at a fun video! Is it in any way related to music, you ask? No. No it is not. I only post it here because I believe that you will benefit greatly from watching it.
Seriously. Watch it. It's only 38 seconds long. I'm only stealing 38 seconds of your precious time.
So. We haven't done that much advertising this week*, but our second show is still tomorrow night 8-10 (central) at wlfm.net. The website has not been updated in two years, but no worries - it should be all shiny and new and updated and reformatted in about a month. So, for the time being, ignore all the info from 2009 and enjoy the show!
We will have propaganda sometime in the near future. Allie and I have joined Print-Making Club and we will be making many a print.
Also, I'm rethinking the name Death & Taxes for the show. It doesn't seem very accessible. Even though Allie and I get to be DJs Death (Allie) and Taxes (Me) if we do use that name. That would be kind of cool. Anyway. Undecided. Suggestions?
And, as you can see, I'm working a bit on reformatting the blog.
Keep being awesome. We love you listeners!
*We haven't done any advertising this week...
And for your viewing and listening pleasure, a video that my friend just sent me: source: youtube and Leslie
Dumb, dumb, dumb computer with it's dumb dumb absent amount of disc space left.
Ugh. Technology. I can't deal with it.
WHERE DID IT ALL GO???
I must now begin a quest to discover the location of 82 Gigs of music. So not the drama*.
Oh, Music... where did you go?*
*I should not post at 3 a.m., it makes me reference disney shows that probably are no longer airing.
*My music is actually probably located on my hard drive 5 feet away, but I'm too lazy and tired and watching British sit coms to get up and find out.

Let's not forget our special feature "Worst Song of the Week"! I'd first like to state that our "Worst Songs of the Week" are picked lovingly. We are not singling them out just to make fun of them, but to appreciate their... attitude? effort?
Or, in this case wonder how they ever came to be.
This week's song features Countess LuAnn de Lesseps (from The Real Housewives of New York). In the show I don't particualarly like Countess LuAnn - I'm more of a Bethenny fan, myself. But I'm *ok* with The Countess - just for making this ridiculous song. How bizarre is it that just anyone can release a single. My main questions for this song are: What was she thinking? Does she think this video actually makes her classy? I know she's all about teaching "class", but I feel like writing books should remain the proper venue for that, in Countess LuAnn's case. Why, Why, would she ever agree to do this? I'm also guessing this song was made post-divorce, because I don't think The Count would approve of it.
Here is the music video, for your viewing pleasure - I'm sure many a question of your own will arise after watching it...

So. Thursday. It's here. Our show will be on from 10 to midnight (central) on wlfm.net
We've got tons of great brand new music, and some 80's jams. It'll be great! Now, if only we could order a pizza to be delivered to the station...
Also, we can g-chat during the show (username: gloriousbagels@gmail.com) or you can email us at the same address. We will learn how to use the phone at the show, but now the best way to send requests is through g-chat.
The first episode of our radio show, Death & Taxes, will take place on Thursday, September 16th from 10 pm - Midnight (central time) on WLFM.net
(Don't forget to click "Listen Online" at the top of the page - it should open up a stream to iTunes)
We've got a great playlist in the works, and it's going to be an awesome show so be sure to tune in!
If you aren't able to catch the show this week, don't worry - a recording of the show will be uploaded to this blog as will a list of songs played. We might make a pre-episode 8tracks too, I haven't decided yet.
