The 35 Minutes That Sum It Up Best: Motivational Karaoke, "Spring Training Eve"

-
Today while driving around South Austin, my iPod bringed me a blast from me past.  A 35-minute segment of Motivational Karoke, the WESN radio show that Chris Golwitzer and I painstakingly crafted from 2002-2005.  It wunt crafted.  It wunt no pain. Part 5 of "SPRING TRAINING EVE (2/22/04) just seemed to sum up what we were about. It starts with an interview with Ted Leo after he blew out his voice in Champaign and I finished the singing for him.  That ends with a clip of Babe Ruth with a fake swear word beeped in. We played Ted Leo quite a bit. A new song that's old now. A lengthy, lie-riddled microphone break, back-selling a lot of things that we used to play.  A tongue lashing of the DJs on before us. An explanation of what Google is and how to spell it, followed by the futile spelling of our very long impossible find website. We were doing Dream Warriorisms then because we were on from 12-2am at that time.  We went retro and pulled out a Motivational Karo

Ben lives on a mountain in California and fixes old Italian motorcycles.  Stephanie is still in Bloomington, doing something good for the world, I'm sure.  I've just been counting the years until I started playing 20 year old band jams for people in the hopes that they'll believe I was cool and am still a little cool... It actually snuck up on me.  March 25th, 2000 @ the locally famous, GALLERY.  We were a loose outfit.  Sweatpants loose, not zoot suit loose.
