Degrees of Separation - Country Edition - Rustic Measure V4

For the upcoming edition of Rustic Measure (airing tonight after Deathsquad Show from 11pm to midnight), I decided to play a little Degrees of Separation with the playlist.

What is Degrees of Separation, you ask? Well… in our case, I take a song and that song must link to the next song played by a common word in the title of the song, a lyric in the song itself, or from the name of the artist singing it. For example… I could link Indian Outlaw by Tim McGraw to the next song, I Know, You Know by the Friendly Indians (theme from Psych)… the common link between them is “Indian” from the title in the first song and the group name in the second song. The third song would then have to link to the second by a new word/phrase. The link can be a whole phrase or a single word. A first name or a last name of the artist.

The goal is to link all songs played, from the starting song to the ending show song. Fifteen songs await. One hour of musical challenge. It’s pure country madness only on KMRL - Mojo Radio Live! Post your solutions to the link on the Forum! Play along!

Rustic Measure, Vol. 2

What happens when you forget that your next upcoming show is preceding Valentine's Day? You end up recording a show that has nothing to do with it ... realizing it... and going, "Golly gee, do I let it go or record a dedicated show?" Ponders to no end.

So you see the dilemna. My foible is your benefit. An extra edition of Rustic Measure Tonight, following the Deathsquad Show, from 11:00pm until Midnight.

The theme of tonight's show (I actually came up with one!) is something I like to call "What's in a name?". Songs dedicated to a person or entity.

Logo Work

Been working on the logo again. Found a better font to tie into the country style... also found the text warping tool I was looking for to curve it. Also, got rid of the black background... I decided it was not as appealing as I had thought it was to begin with. Now the background is transparant, graphic should look equally good on black or white, whatever color now. What do you think?

Airway Projects

The station seems to be moving along at a very fast pace. Another DJ added (kat, not me!), KMRL store just opened, shows on a regular basis. A job well done all around by everyone. I have made it a point to try to get into as many shows as I can. I like the music and its important to me to support them.

My first show was last night. It seemed to go off painlessly considering I have room for improvement. Then again, who doesn't. Doesn't seem to be a lot of people that like country music. Doesn't really bother me though... cause I like it, anyway.

I spent the better part of today wrestling with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to make a merchandise logo for Rustic Measure. I think it turned out pretty nifty, if I do say so myself.

It has now joined many of the other artists of the station on the KMRL store. Check em out, get your KMRL DJ Swag. And I swear, I am not modeling any banana hammocks!

Mare was kind enough to make me an intro for the show. I'm going to have to use it, it cracks me up. That woman has serious radio talent. I can't wait til her show is done!

Did I mention that I want a hat like the one in that icon! I needs me one EXACTLY like it!

And A Country Show Begins

Aye, I succumbed to the peers and made an attempt at a radio show... all country, naturally. Have nothing to do on a biweekly Tuesday night? Check out KMRL Internet Radio (see links to the side) from 11:00pm to 12:00am for a heaping helping of provincial stew. Check out the other shows while you are at it! There's a Playlist to the side o'er yonder... check it out and hollar back.
