THE LATEST IN LEE & WOLFE NEWS:
"Heckler’s Online Kicks Major Booty"
And Major Booty is really upset about this. Ha, ha, HAAAA, ha... ha, ehhhh, heh... heh. Ahem. But seriously folks, Heckler’s Online is THE premiere comedy website featured on the nation’s largest online service, America Online. They feature comedy of all types, interactive contests, games, and much more than I care to type about with my developing carpel tunnel syndrome. (Actually, I have Tourette’s Post Traumatic Gulf War Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, where I curse violently about Peter Arnette everytime I type -- F***IN’ BABY’S MILK! -- but that’s none of your concern, unless I am required to type on the show.) Wolfe and I were lucky enough to get a meeting with Mike Ragsdale and Barry Patterson of Heckler’s Online, and were shown around their headquarters, in, of all places, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Offices full of computers and creative people with senses of humor felt like home to us. Oh, and the computer game "testing" room with the big-screen LCD projector: game nerds bring a bib! These are pleasant and funny people, with a great website [
http://www.hecklers.com ], most of which is available only through AOL, keyword "HO". You can visit AOL on the net at [ http://www.aol.com ]. Wolfe and I hope to do something collaborative with them in the near future. We’ll keep you updated."Engineer Nick Bends Metal"
He may not want to talk about it, but it was awful funny to know that Wolfe spent half the day Saturday tearing up his car. Along with Engineer Nick (the McGyver Pseudo-Superhero of Tuscaloosa), Wolfe attempted to remove his brake rotors for turning. With strength apparently given to him by our yellow-star sun, Nick tore through the lugs like butter. No need to cover all the details, but let’s just say an acetylene torch was actually used at one point, and in the end, the rotor proved exotic and non-removable by mortal means. Wolfe now has wobbly brakes AND no right front hubcap. Cool.
"The 107.7 Thing"
Remember that? (See previous issues) Some of you have asked about it so here’s what’s up: We’ve heard not one word from them, despite dozens of letters from fans, a letter from the Mayor of Tuscaloosa, a call from WGN’s Steve and Johnnie, and numerous e-mail from concerned radio lovers, both local and not-local-at-all. Not to mention the fact that we don’t exactly suck. There are conflicting reports as to whether or not they’ve hired someone, but upon listening Monday, there is no "show" going on yet. Their website is [
http://www.wraxfm.com ]. E-mail them and ask if you like. You know as much as we do. Our search for non-local show opportunities must, I suppose, kick into high gear now.
COMING UP ON THE SHOW:
"Band-wise"
The Woggles will have you wigglin’ your wobbly brakes this Friday, April 10, at about 6:15pm. The best description we’ve gotten so far of the Woggles is "hard drivin rock sounding." (i.e. loud) The band is from Athens, Georgia, and you can read about them just as we have at their website [
http://www.hostess.com/woggles ].As it says on the "bio" section of their website, "’The Doors may rule, but the Woggles legislate!’ - famous rock critic" I’m not sure what that means, but it sounds damn cool!
"Jesus-wise"
As many of our Christian listeners, and those with calendars, may know, this Friday is Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus. We shall do our best to not completely blaspheme. In fact, most of the music on the show this Friday will have a Jesus / religious theme. But, the most exciting possibility for the show is the likely appearance of Brother Jim, a traveling evangelist preacher. Brother Jim has made a career of going from college to college across the country, and warning of the evils of fornication, masturbation, homosexuality, and women’s liberation. If he calls us tonight, we will have him on the show, for what would likely be a lively discussion about him and his views. Keep your fingers crossed. Even if that doesn’t happen, we’re still offering to trade Jesus videos and donations to the homeless for Lee & Wolfe CDs. "Do what," you say? Listen and / or read next week to find out!
"Other-wise"
The #1 college radio show in America is being shortened by one hour again this week by an interrupting baseball game at 7 pm. And, no, I don’t understand that logic either.
ON THE WEBSITE:
"Shows from This Century"
Shows from as recent as March are now finally available on the Lee & Wolfe website, which you can hear with Real Audio. You HAVE downloaded and installed Real Audio, right? Get it FREE at [
http://www.real.com/products/player/index.html ] Just click on "Real Player" (NOT the Real Player Plus which must be purchased), then fill out the little form and press the download button. Then select a place from which to download it, and save it to your hard drive. Run the ".exe" file it gives you to install. If you have a Mac, or generally need help with it, e-mail us and we’ll see what can be done for your condition."You’re Reading One Now"
All the previous Lee & Wolfe E-mail Fun-O-Rama FanZines are now archived on the website, so you can catch up if this is your first issue. Just go to [
http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/rama/fanzine.htm ] and read ‘til you juss caint reed no mo."Live... Really."
Don’t forget you can hear the show as archived on the website, or LIVE on the website (with Real Audio) on Friday nights, 5-8pm CDT. We switched here in the states to Daylight Savings Time this past weekend, so now I’m not sure if we’re on 2300 – 0200 or 2200 – 0100 GMT. If any of our non-U.S. friends can help me out on this one, I’d much appreciate it.
THE STRANGEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE:
Tan Hiong Hiang of Singapore signed our website guestbook and graciously complimented the L&W website. Turns out he’s in a band there in Singapore, and will gladly play at your next special event. Take a look at his site, which loads a bit slowly, then tell me what he means by "cum Dinner." (#9 on their list of when to invite them) [
http://home2.pacific.net.sg/~steric/index.html ] Be sure to check out the singers available if you book them. Also, don’t you dare miss "Naked People Wallowing in Mud—and other pictures." Surprisingly, if you go to this website, you’ll see a picture of--you guessed it--naked people wallowing in mud. [ http://members.tripod.com/~jonhorne/index.html ] In the Rio Grande, no less. And as everyone who knows me well will tell you, I’m convinced the most superior form of life on the planet is the dachshund. But I’m not sure I’d put two of them in a Santa hat and reindeer antlers, and photograph them at various locations around Washington D.C. Someone did.
