Once lucky, twice good? Let’s hope so! Yes, M.Sahm & S.Rod have been invited to discuss the latest episode (#10) of their eclectic podcast Magic Junk Radio tonight, May 29, at 10pm EST on the B-Sides Concept Album radio show, hosted by Josh Hathaway.

“I’ve come to preach the Gospel of Magic Junk to you uncultured bastards. You people need a little more remix in your life and I’ve got salvation hotlinked on this very page. Magic Junk Radio 10 is right here, just for you. I’m 9 minutes into it and I already love it. I’m almost ready to call this my favorite episode yet. They’ve really outdone themselves.”- Josh Hathaway – Confessions of a Fanboy

Here is the direct link to the show’s page. At the BSCA page, once the radio show is ON, there will be a blinking orange button that says “Click To Listen”, and you can open a window for the chat room as well.

If you’re having issues with the hotlink above, here is the full site URL for the show:

Hope you can tune in. It should be at least as humorous as their last appearance, or if Sahm & S.Rod get rolling on a random tangent, you never know. Cheers.

There must be something wrong with my shuffle. It’s not random enough anymore.

Every morning, my iPhone is playing the same group of songs. Coincidentally, two of those songs are ‘Every Day Is Exactly The Same’ by Nine Inch Nails, and ‘My Iron Lung’ by Radiohead. I love both songs, and yet I wonder if they’re subliminally trying to tell me something, since they each carry a personal message. You see, both songs describe something in my life— my job (Every Day) and my novel (Iron Lung)— and I know that up to this point, neither of them are getting me any closer to my dreams.

On the flip side, we’re really close to finishing a few things on the Somrod To-Do list… the last remaining soffit in the basement project (yes, we’re still at it after a 4 month break), the ceremonious 10th episode of Magic Junk Radio (yes, I need to lay down some vocals), and believe it or not, there is a Wiki in the works for all of the MJR compositions over the years (yes, it’s practically a Somrod history lesson).

This is all good progress considering that most nights I get home from work at 8-9:30pm. So why the hell can’t my iPhone start playing ‘Dig Your Own Hole’ by the Chemical Brothers every morning? Is that too much to ask for? Can you let a brother get his shuffle back?
