Is this what limbo feels like, the biblical limbo where all those good kids who weren't baptized go?
And I only lost it for an hour too.

So Becky and I are applying for a slot on CJLO this summer. I am totally stoked. And I am also stoked about incorporating "stoked" into my first on-air commentary as much as humanly possible, likely forcing Becky to hurl the mic across the studio until it's in itty-bitty pieces.
We have to fill out the application, which asks who your favorite artists are, and why you want to have a radio show. So I figure I'll post my possible answers here, and people can tell me if I sound hip.
Favorite artists: (I'm thinking I should have some classic stuff, but also some stuff that's a bit obscure. So that hopefully someone there will look at it and go, "Oh, yeah! Those guys are the shit! But, hmmm... who is that? Interesting.") The Clash, The Futureheads, Blondie, pre-1998 Liz Phair, Nick Drake, Matthew Sweet, Sleater-Kinney, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Sonic Youth, The New Pornographers, Radiohead, Bjork, MC5, Iggy and the Stooges, The Raincoats, The Slits, X, Neutral Milk Hotel, Iron and Wine, The Lovely Feathers, Broken Social Scene and Television.
Why I want a radio show: (this is a fukin' hard, fuckin' pain in the ass question and it violates my constitutional right to have a college radio show.) Music is a HUGE part of my life. I am the embodiment of rock n' roll. Not really, but I've read some books about people who are, and I try to be like them. I get abnormally excited when two songs I mix sound really great next to each other, and sometimes, when I'm alone in my room, I'll listen to the transition over and over again(this part is good, eh?). Also, I talk a bunch.
Also, we need a super-fantastico name for our show. Becky suggested "happy hour." Please, we need help. What about "A to B"? It's a Futureheads song, and we are Aurora and Becky. Clever? Lame?

Honestly, Aurora, no one belongs on a radio show more than you do! I wholeheartedly believe you if you say you are the "embodiment of rock n' roll". I don't know anyone that knows more about music than you. I hope the guys at CJOL see that too. Good luck with your application!
Ha ha, you wouldn't want to call yourselves Rn'B for Rory n' Becky??
Thanks Nan! You have to comment on my blog more often. It makes me feel all warm and superior inside...mmmmm....
And R'nB is a cute name, plus it would confuse people to no end, as we won't actually be playing any Rn'B music. Confusing people is funny.
hello aurora
well I think "A to B" takes the cake. R n' B might confuse people (actually in a good way resulting in more listeners) but A to B is snazzier. Please look to my LJ for my answers to these questions...and if they're not up yet then they are under construction, being worked on by friends of mine who are cooler than me. Do not be alarmed if you recieve an e-mail with the subject heading "please help me answer these questions in the hippest way possible". All shitting aside, I'll try and have them done as soon as I can.
a la prochaine.
Aparently this is la prochaine.
I'm sorry I couldn't make it down to Karovas tonight, hope you're having a good time. I couldn't get away from fucking work until 12:30 and by that time I was in a shitty mood and wanted to come home anyways. But perhaps next weekend, I like that place! Call me we'll work something out for monday.
word.
okay tomorrow (monday march 28th) I will be working until 6 o'clockish but I'm going to try and call you on my break and see if you're still up to getting together in the evening.
salut.
