Thank You!

I know some of you are sick of my shameless self promotion concerning my newest novel, RATED F. I do want to thank those who have shelled out your hard earned cash for the book--I know it's overpriced and I know it's sometimes hard to find. But thanks. Seriously.

While it is far from the best-seller list, a few good things have been happening as it continues to sell slowly and steadily. I came across a review posted by a complete stranger, and I want to share that with you.

Thanks for caring about a brand new writer that is virtually unknown.

Sell Out?

Songs from Todd's Ipod for Friday 3/25:

10:20 a.m. "Girl" Beck This is a kick-ass song from his new CD "Guero" that goes on sale this Tuesday.
1:20 p.m. "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" Reel Big Fish

Now the Reel Big Fish song is a cool tune, I guess. But this is Reel Big Fish? What happened to silly, bouncy-ass songs about lesbians? I think they're taking themselves a bit too seriously if they've resorted to doing a cover of an old Tracy Chapman tune. Did they forget that their band is named Reel Big Fish?

Did they forget that they once wrote a song called "Sell Out"?

Uh-oh.

I buy rock salt!

As a proud owner of a beautiful new water softener, I now feel like I'm a member of the 'in' crowd. I know that a water softener is about the lamest thing I could spend a couple thousand dollars on, but look at the positives.

*No longer will I have icky hardwater deposits to chisel away when I clean the shower.
*No longer will I be jealous of my next door neighbor who has a Culligan Gold Series, featuring the AccuSoft® Microprocessor for maximum efficiency.
*Now I can proudly walk past the heaps of bagged rock salt outside of Dick's Market with full intentions of purchasing a few.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my long battle with hard water is now over.

Todd's Ipod songs for 3/24

10:20 a.m. "The Impression That I Get" Mighty Mighty Bosstones
1:20 p.m. "Stay Away" Nirvana

Look Everybody! A Blog!

So I've taken on the task of providing a daily blog. I'll try to keep you up to date with stuff I do on my show and whatever the hell else is on my mind.

Todd's Ipod songs for Wednesday 3/23
10:20 a.m. "Begin" Ben Lee (recorded live in the Airwaves Cultural Hall)
1:20 p.m. "Hey Man, Nice Shot" Filter

So, what do you think of the new X96.com?

Right now, as I'm writing this, Artie Fufkin is playing the new Nine Inch Nails song "The Hand That Feeds." Let's face it: Trent Reznor is God.
