The Show
Everything ran really well today. My phone interview called a bit early which made it less awkward when my in studio guest arrived. Chuck, Liz, and I were all wide-eyed and excited about the in studio guest and that may have been obvious when we were on the mics.

The Guests
Kim Necroman of the Necromantix and the Horrorpops called us from Utah. He’s on the road right now with the Necromantix and heading towards California where he will play the Hootenanny Festival in Irvine, CA July 2 with Social Distortion, Link Wray, Necromantix, Junior Brown, Cadillac Tramps, Throw Rag, Lee Rocker, and James Intveld. I really appreciated the call. The legendary Dave Wakeling from the English Beat and General Public arrived in the studio with his acoustic guitar case in hand. He was a very gracious and sweet guest answering questions and calls from the listeners as well as all of us at the MightyMorningShow and he also entertained us with a couple of acoustic versions of songs he wrote.

Trac 1 started off the show with a Canadian band because my in-laws from Canada are in town.
Then played a song I remember really clearly from my childhood, an almost Dr. Demento-like early 70s disaster about hippies and the “long and short hair issue” that was so prevalent at the time. But ultimately the song is about love.
Then I played the song I am crazy about from a band I'm crazy about. Today I found out I was not the first person to play this band; both Passport Approved and Jonesy have played them before me (damn). I also learned Ranking Rogers's son is in this band.
Played trac 4 because of PRM. I love this band.
5 is another 70s slice of my memory.
6- Dick's pick.
7 and 8 Kim called.
9 always loved this song.
10 by request, classic LA punk. We tried to edit "fuck" out of the song on the fly and we removed it and a three second portion of the tune, oh well. Thank you FCC.
Trac 11 I like the line in this one that goes “I celebrate my love for you with a pint of brew and a new tattoo”.
12 hit this because I was nervous at the arrival of our very special guest, Dave Wakeling.
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 guess who?
16 and 18 were beautiful live acoustic versions.
20 ran the Warped Tour contest and M from Tsunami Bomb was the mystery Warped Tour guest.
21 played for Dave. Amy sent me this song and reminded me of its greatness. I think the choruses are close to pop perfection.
22 felt really good about the show and wanted to go out big. Thank y

The Show
A lot of fun, I laughed really hard. My guest was hysterical. Gave away Warp Tour tickets using recorded Go Betty Go contest plus we located Lisa who wrote to us requesting a tattoo. She has a very rare disease and she's a big fan of the show. An extended letter from her led me to believe getting a tattoo on one of our tattoosday shows would be very special to her. So that might happen next week.

The Guests
Mike O'Malley. He's from New Hampshire and he's on the television show, "Yes Dear", as well as in the movie, "The Perfect Man" with Hilary Duff. Huge music fan. Loves Buffalo Tom and a lot of different Boston rock 'n roll. We had so much fun.

11 has not been released or ever played on the radio.
12 was a request from yesterday.

17- O'Malley's pal is in this band.
18 will be next week's Dick's Pick. I love this song and can't wait to hear the entire album. I own it but it didn't play in my Prius stereo yesterday. I might return to Amoeba.
