What? It’s only Tuesday? Damn, this has been a long friggin’ week. At least there’s a three-day weekend to look forward to.
:yawn: sleepy sleep, sheep… :sheep:
I’m looking at my spam AAR e mail this morning, and its pretty much like this: all of the AAR shows have a long list of Democratic politicians as guests – it looks like a speakers list at the convention – this is Mark Green’s idea of a progressive network – Dem Pols around the clock..
There’s only on exception: Sam has two bloggers. Pretty telling huh?
This is where we blew it: As soon as MS was canceled, we should have organized all the bloggers to rain holy hell on the corporate suits, who think interviews with John Kerry and Joe Trippi are going to get ratings.
So I get to ride around with a sales rep all day today, shadowing him to watch the valuable work he does talking people into buying advertising. I guess it could be worse, I could be listening to Mark Green.
:barf:
But .. but .. but .. we did rain H*ly H* on the AAR execs.. lots ( thousands) of emails and phone calls ..
Getting elitist hung over demodorps out of bed for a morning drive program would be something to observe
If these programs stay around or go away will all be dependent on them paying for themselves at the $80 a pop per advertisement .rate .. if they get an audience in the tens of millions/ week they can get maybe even $400 per pop to advertise a Caddy Escalade or a steel building which I am sure we all will want to run out and buy. :reaper: :reaper:
Most of the AAR 2.0 programs are syndicated by companies owned by the hosts themselves. AAR simply provides a medium to distribute them more widely. This allows AAR to have a minimal staff since they don’t have to produce anything..The rent in NYC then becomes a problem . When they move the studio to North Platte we will know they are serious about staying in business. :tongue: :fustrate: :paranoid:
:rofl2: have i mentioned yet today how much i love your show……
:yippee: morning fred……
hey fred you should have heard it me and malloy were talking about getting our :tommygun:
😮 😮 Hi Sean 😮 😮
You talked about that OFF the air I presume .. 😮 😯
XM Radio experienced a massive broadcast failure around parts of the country yesterday and continuing today. Timed perfectly for the AAR 2.0 rollout.
Seanie…was it last night on Malloy? I actually replayed it so hopefully I can get you the clip later on….
I was having some trouble with the feed that replay offers and the different streaming addresses on the page and out there but I finally go one that went through windows media…so hopefully its there…something is there…we will see.
Will had an awful time last night…and this is exactly when he went to the hospital last year…so I was busy with talking to Drs and sittign with him…didnt even get to see 24 or anything…and in the middle of everything that went on half the night I was trying to tune to malloy becuase I need some real news that I can stand….I dont know what to do about that…maybe Randi….
I find Rachel OK but she gets on my nerves.
Thisweek that have that insane money guy doing MSNBC mornings. What a mistake that is!
Did anyone hear Riley last night?
I think Riley is an asshole…but thats my personal opinion…based on nothing more that my own experiences around him the past few years….
I dont see him as a strong anchor to this evening show, and…well, fuck it…
I would be happier with just abotu anyone else…Like, Rachel would have been OK at that….she does good with other people and she does her homework…and thats my major beef with Riley since the beginning…he is unprepared and sorta slides by on this jovial old timer thing…
Im interested to know how they are handling the others on the show…is it segments produced separately or is it a round table?
You mean a whole bunch of people missed out on hearing Mark Green ?? :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :jason: :fist:
no on the air…… :paranoid:
that explains why my xm was periodically dropping out this morning
i will let you know later how its done i think i will listen from 8 to 9 but then its over to malloy……
oh and that would be super if you could get me the clip! i personally think i probably came off sounding like an ijit i was so amused with myself saying “have i mentioned yet today how much i love your show……” that i botched what i meant to say although i did call giuliani “fuhrer rudi” if i remember correctly……
vern…4 more eggs but Im not sure if they will hatch….
there are so many possible reasons why the first 2 didnt work out. But its nature…sad as it is…and they will lay more.when they are newly hatched they are almost like little late term abortions….like a baby kangaroo that needs to climb to the pouch to finish its incubation…completely dependent on the feeding and warmth…and if the parents dont trample them by accident.
Todd looked at them and said that the could have been trampled but that they hadnt been fed….since the first one was fed for 3 days, it is probably that the second one hatched and something happened that made them stop feeding both…that is pretty common.
Its trial and error…and he said that as hard as it is, Im learning, which is why I started this….I dare say Im knowing quite a bit about these guys by now…but someof this stuff is trial and error and experience….
As soon as MS was canceled, we should have organized all the bloggers to rain holy hell on the corporate suits, who think interviews with John Kerry and Joe Trippi are going to get ratings.

I thought we did that.
Good Morning :joe:
Did any of you XM folks get this “service degradation” notice? They are apparently having some big problem…I dont know why Im still on their mailing list…apparently never cancelled it…or letters Ive written to ask for one show or another…
do you know what segment youre on in seanie?
Yes, Sean was on Malloy last night, name-dropping Maron.
Afterwards, Mike said “Have I told you yet today how much I hate these people?” :fire:
XM definitely out this morning. Huge message board thread here:

Instead listening to FX O’Toole on http://WFMU.org this morning, my fave music DJ.

Breaking with some of his fellow candidates on the war, Richardson pledged to “leave no troop behind in Iraq.” He also pledged to leave: “No air bases, no security patrols, no embedded soldiers training Iraqi forces.”
last 45 minutes or so……
😮 i was conspiracy theorizing last night while driving……
wow i got the best download speed i ever have with my sprint card here in milwaukee and then the worst download simultaneously strange days indeed……
I can’t find a download for last nights show Sean. :growl:
dont worry melinas gonna get the clip and then we can get PJ to put the clip on the multimedia sidebar!
:yippee: badass!!!!!
PJ has to work all day now, I wonder if he can blog at work.
ok seanie sent you a couple
mornin!
Yesterday’s post about Michelle Obama from brilliantatbreakfast made it into the New York Daily News’ “Best of Political Blogs” on page 29!!!
seanie, Ive got it and can quick transfer the whole show or just the segment later when I get back in….
Mixed radio blessings; got to hear Sam on Sunday. Two hours
was not enough.
Lee Rayburn got his local show back on the station we fought so hard to save here in Madison. Finally, the “Save the Mic” effort feels like a victory. Strong local programming needs to be paired with national talk for a real progressive talk success, in my view.
But yesterday’s AAR 2.0 roll out was embarrassing. Bobby Kennedy interviewing SANJAYA????? Kennedy asked the
17 year-old, “Don’t you think the war is kinda dumb?” Groan!!!
I wanted to slink away from the radio! Malloy (also back on in
Madison for the first time in many months) was making fun of
this interview even before it happened.
And all those prerecorded interviews during the day made the programming very disjointed. How about Randi outside smoking a cigarette during her show, “Looks like someone else is programming my show,” and making disparaging comments about AAR 2.0 and the lack of radio experience on board? I thought Riley as host of the Air Americans was terrible, although as a concept, I thought the show might be interesting. This does not bode well.
:bf: bananas fucking……
At least for a while you can hear Sean on the Malloy’s KPTK podcast page, May 21, Hour 3 Segment 3.. This should be a link to the actual audio.
It’s Falwell’s worm dirt day. :reaper:

post on the current thread there, i’ve found that very few read the back blogs.
repetition is required to get the message through.
this latest “bush can take over the goverment with any “incident” BS has got me deeply disturbed.
hate to say it but the parallels with Hitlers ‘Enabling act’ make it obvious that they’re heading for complete repression of dissent.
anybody want to come join me in Abbotsford?

I have called about this since the 9th of May plus mostly — during that week.
Have numbers ready… NSPD51 .. AND ANY INFO, also the name: Homeland Security Issue
The ones answering phones — and even their supervisors, have been in Denial (now for weeks).
They were suppose to advise Sen F. (in CA) to study and to come out with a statement —
now “denial” again but they are suppose to get a statement and have a “super” call me…yeh right.
THX JIM FOR POSTING THE LINK — and anyone else I didn’t see. I will take a sec and reread YEA JIM AGAIN!
Yeh I feel real secure.

Jim @ 35: W00t! Yes, I saw that; someone (you?) posted this in a comment today, so I went out at lunchtime and bought the paper. Today the Daily News, tomorrow Newsweek.
As for AAR, I’m wondering if perhaps we have to kill it to save it. Like a mass boycott. The question is if succeeding at killing AAR will make people think that there is no market for progressive radio rather than just that the Green brothers f*cked it up.
Any thoughts as to how we can make them realize their mistakes without killing the concept?

Usually with me the dumb, juvenile ideas come first, so here’s one. Back in the early ’90s when Howard Stern was at his peak, his listeners would call other radio shows, get on the air, and then yell out either Howard’s name or that of his producer Baba Booey.
We could call up AAR shows (not Sam’s, though) and do the same thing using Maron’s name. How flustered do you think Hartmann would get if four callers in 30 minutes shouted “MARC MARON!!” instead of thanking him for taking their call and telling him what a genius he is?
Too bad the Young Turds usually don’t take calls. I can easily picture Cenk’s head exploding.
:rofl2:
OK, I told you it was dumb and juvenile. I’ll keep thinking. :doh:
eya brilliantatbreakfast !
i think what they’re doing is intentional at AARgh…
could be a few layers of benefits to greens and freiends.
A-show that the “liberals” are so incompetent that “liberal radio”
has no hopes of succeeding? sounds like a future neo talking point to me…
i personally think AARgh has always had a built in kill switch
in case it actually ‘get’s out of control”…
many examples of that in the
last three years.
Maybe drobny is for real…
nova M putting it on the line pretty good so far.
AARgh pretty well lost me after Maron and finally Mike left.
when Janeane boogied i know it was being screwed with intentionally. but there was so much BS before all that.
main thing was that you could never contact management at any level personally. i know because i tried for three years.
There may have to be various degrees of left sided radio… A lot of Amerika are STUPID MORONS so you need some media to attract them, to assure them all is ok with demodorps now in charge .. AAR Version 2.0 seems to fit that model :reaper: :reaper:
“Hartmann would get if four callers in 30 minutes shouted “MARC MARON!!†instead of thanking him for taking their call and telling him what a genius he is?”
hahahahahahahahahahhaahhaaha!
and Thom’s actually pretty good as a historian.
wish he could apply that same effort to finding solutions and workable organising strategies.
lord knows i’ve nagged Sam enough about it over the last three years.
Sam will try for a few shows and then it’s as if he’s told to back off…
the only really good thing that came out of this all is the bloggie communities.
that’s why i’m here.
eya fred!
this has had the smell of a rigged deck since i researched the next set of managers after Shellie.
Ploser and company apparently bent over and allowed all of us to GET SCREWED by Bushco on Iraq.. No timetable and presidential alterable objectives .. They will say this is a great victory to mitigate the BS put out by the M$M :jason: :jason: :gate: :omg: :jason: :jason: :tommygun: :tommygun: :tommygun: :tommygun:
If these corporate financed fools don’t get the message remember that in 2008 you may to chose to vote with your 30-06 :reaper: :reaper:
:tommygun:
shit!
i’ve been upset about this and screwed by these A’holes for 40 years.
this is like a really nasty carbuncle. until it comes to a head you can’t do anything about it.
it just sits there and hurts you.
my advice? plan for the day
and do it independently.

we need to do more promotion!
the best thing about myspace is that it’s easy to do promo. i’m still hoping for a myspace page for seditionist radio (hint hint).and how about this site on a myspace page. i’d be happy to spend some time mining other cool sites and forwarding this blog and the radio station to all my new “friends.”
also, i think the best thing to do about AARgh (nice) is to make sure that mike malloy is on all of the progressive stations, and stephanie too. (i know that not everyone loves steph, but she’s up against lionel — nuff said)
i’ll try and figure out which aar affiliates aren’t carrying mike & steph and get back to you.
Oh Yes, brilliantatbreakfast

In case it hasn’t been said and anyone cares, the Sam Seder on Sunday podcast is finally up. The poor premium guy must be buried.
I know I have said nice things about Riley in the past but I could not get past the first hour last night and think he should have stayed with (or been stuck) with one hour or no more that two. I guess they expect the “strength” of his backups. He cannot make it by just reading the prepared questions for 4 hours.
And did they Really have Bobby Kennedy interviewing Sanjaya?! Several people noted that RFK was walking around the AAR building yesterday trying to save baby crow with peanut butter and pet food. That could have been a toxic punch if I ever heard of one.
roxieseattle, I have been calling regarding this since the week of the 9th of May. I guess i should have called daily instead of believing their lying words. AGAIN :smack: , I have been calling EVERYONE locally and nationally — Sen Boxer, Sen F, S of the House, P., Rep Thompson, and around the nation. Tomorrow REEDWhore and Ca AGAIN … They did say I would hear back this time [i even talked to same woman i talked with on the 9th.now I will get a call from some supervisor and prob e-mail form whatever — .
My hubby calls me a pitbull regarding issues … since I will not let go now. The bastards PROMISED ME THE SENs Would Make A “statement”,
WHICH They Didn’t. The Sens Failed Their U.S.A. and My CA.
(Also Sunshine Jim posted a link (THX again) — I like “dissecting” = mono-focussed — I was able to :bee: have since I thought Sens, Reps, and whomever else WAS WORKING ON THIS ISSUE … They Lyed/Lied. Now hopefully they will move their butts ❗ ). I do not know where I am at, exept, like DanuEpona I am snorting an angry warning and “dancing”. Serious LLBH.

I fed a Bat and baby “wild” birds meal-worms (sp), bugs and caught flys (since they NEED living things) but am curious — if the peanut butter works? The wee Raven is still alive — sooooo?
Better that than catching and feeding living things.

Can it keep the birds and bats alive? the dog food moreso than the living food? Since I do get wee beasts like that. 🙂

My raven family had no probs with dog food 5 years ago.
fed em the good kibble stuff for years before that.
there were 3 generations i knew pesonally.
What ever happened to tuppence a bag?
Too Disney for you lefties?
druid: i inherited a nest of baby chickadees once. i called the zoo for a recipe. i don’t remember all the ingredients: scrambled eggs, cooked oatmeal, a bit of brewers’ yeast. all mooshed together and fed with one of those skinny wooden coffee stir sticks with the corners rounded off. i put a branch in a basket on it’s side with a heating pad under the basket.
a couple of weeks later, i’d moved them into the spare bedroom and would just out the food out in jar lids for them to help themselves. i was worried that they wouldn’t know how to catch live food so i grew some fruit flys in a jar and opened it near their food. one of the no longer babies casually lifted his head out of the food dish and snapped a fruit fly out of the air. i was so proud….

AIV … Taking Over Me … E
Buzz and Yolanda were on the scene when we were building the new shop on the Queen Charlotte Islands (haida guaii)
first i saw of them was when they were cleaning up some spilled doggie crunchers on the shop apron during the winter,
i’d put out a handfull every morning for them.
Sunshine Jim, Now Buzz has a new LLBH meaning for me.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNEVERMORE :love:
over the years Buzz got a lot friendlier, he’d come in the shop and get food out of Odie’s bowl and slurp up some water too.
he was fairly big, about 14 inches tall.
Yolanda was a bit standoffish, but she’d come to visit when i’d take a break outside. she’d keep the young’uns to the gravel parking lot.
buzz was into playing,
i’d marble shoot a doggie cruncher and he’d catch it on the fly!
eventually he’d come over and let me feed him by handing him goodies.
eya D6!
:nixon:
Odie mostly ignored them, i can remember Buzz jumping over him getting a rolling muncher and Odie just opening his eyes and then going back into snooze mode.
they must have appreciated it because Buzz would slide in and drop off some shiny stuff or nice short chunks of twine, grab a cruncher or two and fly off.
i’ve still got a can full of stuff he brought me.
I always wanted to find a raven to keep by cats in line. Guess I have to be happy with having what I had. :rofl2: ooOOOOOOooo
Yo(landa) and :bee: Buzz Awwwwwwwww :love:
I am just “smitten”. 😉 Cheers Sunshine Jim
What beautfully bold bald eagles, and the rest……..awwwww 😉
animals come out of the blue for me.
odie adopted me when he was 9, that island is full of amazing animals.
