Ow! My tooth. It hurts so very bad.

I think I have a wisdom tooth trying to rip through my gums and topple my back molar. My jaw hurts and my tooth feels like it's in a different place. It feels like when my braces would get tightened. (Yeah, I was a brace face in junior high.) The tooth itself doesn't hurt because it had a root canal procedure a couple of months ago.

Hey. I know what would make me feel better! A Shuffle Weekend! It starts today at 3.

Happy Birthday X96!

Fourteen years ago, in February of 1992, I worked round the clock with a team of dedicated individuals to build X96. We operated out of an old studio in Provo, and were able to resurrect alternative music for the Wasatch Front with our own blood, sweat, tears, and personal CD collections.

It was a labor of love, and I can honestly say that after all these years it still feels the same. Thanks for supporting us all these years. We'd be nowhere without you.

Fourteen years ... damn ... it's hard to believe...

10:20 am "Shake The Disease" Depeche Mode (The first song played on X96 at 12:01 am 2/14/1992.) (It might have been the 13th of Feb. My memory is failing me!)

1:20 pm "Tower of Strength" Mission UK (After talking about HIM and how they were influenced by this band enough to bring in producer Tim Palmer who worked with Mission UK in their earlier albums, I wanted to play some old goth stuff. This particular song, I believe, was produced by the legendary John Paul Jones.)

Valentine's Day Blows

Don't get me wrong. I love you. I always have. It's just that I don't need some stupid yearly event to dictate when my affection should be shown.

Ban Valentine's Day. It's lame. It's fake. It means nothing.

Today is a day for abusive losers to ask forgiveness with flowers.

But I love you. And I'd tell you that any day of the year.

10:20 am "Story of my Live" Social Distortion

Thanks to novelist Zack Shutt for finding my goof.

40 Year-Old Virgin

I finally saw 40 Year-Old Virgin last night. I'm slow, I know. It was the return of movie night at my place with Mr. Corey O'Brien.

Speaking of Corey, please note that we moved The Top Ten Songs That Don't Suck to 7 pm in order to give you a two-hour All Request Mosh Pit starting at 10 pm. Except on Monday night when we give you an hour of new music on O'Brien Public Radio at 11 pm.

1:20 pm "About A Girl" Nirvana (live acoustic version)
