CUT ME SOME SLACK(er)!!

You probably don't know this, but besides playing a mild-mannered, urbane air personality on 95.5 KLOS here in L.A., I also program two stations for Slacker. Slacker's both an on-line and portable music service made for anyone who (a) has iPod fatigue, burned out with the constant downloading and revising and/or (b) just wants more music variety in their lives--especially if they can create their own stations in the process. Slacker allows you to keep out songs you don't like, keep the ones you do and make your own station up with a little of everything. Or if you just want to lay back and let the "radio pros" (ahem) do all the heavy lifting for you, that's a go as well. Slacker just unveiled their new G2 player (above), so you can take several stations with you and refresh 'em via wi-fi and even load-in some of your own. I program the 60's ROCK and 70's HITS stations, and both are loaded with a motherlode of music. No 300-song playlists here. We're talking over 1300 tunes for 70's HITS and more than 800 for 60's ROCK (which only covers music from 63-70). Check 'em out and gimme some feedback, like if it's wack or mack or really lacks. Just look for 'em in the "rock" and "hits" section at www.slacker.com

Just a few cool things I've seen/heard lately...thought you'd, like, dig:

Check the new Queen + Paul Rodgers song, "C-lebrity"--live, even!
Finally sounds like Queen actually morphs with Bad Co....

Then there's these fabulous Foxes from Seattle. Too bad the video's
as dopey as the song is killer.

Dylan, from the forthcoming Tell Tale Signs--The Bootleg Series Vol. 8,
out Rocktober 7th. Frick.

Anyone needs lotsa good reasons to vote Republican? No problem--here's some
information you'll find most helpful. You mo' than welcome.

Nothing from the new Metallica because they sold out to American
Express. F them.
