BVG's Most Brutal Breakdowns

Yo! I was feeling 'creative' so I made my attempt at a pseudo mashup-mixtape... its not perfect but it oughta get you rev'd up.

Being a lifelong metal head I felt obligated to merge my gospel into this priceless little project through mixcloud.com

There is no real purpose outside of the fact that I wanted to make a collection of self-elected brutal breakdowns. These are the tunes (bound together in no particular order besides mixing result) that I can guarantee will get me out on the fuckin dance floor.

MootPOINT Episode 7

HOLY CRAP A NEW EPISODE

Heres an archived moment that I nearly forgot about. While Pat was off gettin' hitched I pulled together a small panel of my closest friends and allies in the radio field to have an open discussion about relevance of new media in the broadcast medium.

Ryan Welsh, Jon Nungesser and Nicholas Gunner (all of SUNY Fredonia *WCVF/WDVL) hop on board to better flesh out Ryan's personal project concept about how he hypothesizes radio will start to change direction in coming months and years. As always we look and theorize about how social/new media will become a MVP and a special focus regarding some interesting ways to better use the HD standard.

Some questions on the table: is specialization helping or hurting (music) radio?
and which angle has a stronger influence: intimacy and the human element vs. sheer audience preference in listening?

--We call this the 'solution' to our on-demand society.

So feel free to tune in; we hope you enjoy... and look forward to however much you want to feed back!

All the best!

Best Albums of 2009

So it seemed like the appropriate time to do a top albums of the year post. I'm gonna be fairly lazy about this as I think a listen to these following items will prove my point. Also the list is kinda long, but the primary focus is on the top ten. and I know there will be plenty of you who will disagree with me out there and I just wanted to get this disclaimer out of the way: "I don't care what you think."

Top 10:

Black Dahlia Murder - Deflorate
