2011 Radio Ad(s)

    Having learned yesterday, via Buffett World, that WOMC 104.3 had broken the news of a July 21 Pine Knob concert, I kept my recorder tuned to WOMC this morning to attempt capturing this year’s radio commercial.  I recorded four hours this morning (an hour forty-five of which was silence…grrrr) and another two hours this afternoon.  WOMC broadcast the ad at 12:40 PM.

    The ad is shorter than usual, only :30, and I’m not sure if this is a cost-saving measure or if there might be a :60 version out there too.  There was no newspaper ad this morning in the Detroit Free Press so I’m keeping an eye out for that as well.
    Update: I managed to catch the :60 version Friday, March 11, on WCSX 94.7.  I recorded six hours of them this morning and, listening back to the files, encountered the ad after only fourteen minutes (having aired at around 6:20 AM, I guess).  Quite the opposite of how it usually goes…

“It’s Sipping Good”

    Mike, Scott, and Schmoe try out Roger Clyne’s new Mexican Moonshine tequila.  Recorded Wednesday, October 27 2010, at Zodiac; with cameos by Joe Maj, James, and Jennifer.  (Video might not be quite up to snuff; it was recorded on a cellphone.)

Mexican Moonshine

    Scott just had his first shot of Roger Clyne’s Mexican Moonshine, just arrived direct from Arizona by way of Ohio.

Scott’s report: “Mmm.  Good.”

    It’s surreal, sublime, man-made, and divine
    It’s the moonshine….

The front label

A word from Roger

    Let your heart and your cup overflow
    Under the glow of the moonshine!

Mon Soon Come

    Scott’s prayers have been answered.  Margaritaville Rum has been sighted in our area—but it was Mike who spotted it.
    Here’s Mike’s slightly live report from his neighborhood Meijer’s…

“M’ville Rum at Meijer!!”

“My Meijer M’ville shopping spree.  Notice the new ‘Extra Thick Restaurant Style’ chips.”

Dustin

    Listener Jon clued us in, back on Monday, that the comic strip Dustin was doing a whole, week-long series on parrotheads.  Or more specifically, middle-aged parrotheads.  Here are all five panels (from July 26 to July 30).
    Update: we uploaded too quickly, forgetting about the Saturday strip.  Here’s the newly-corrected, complete run:

Dustin, from King Features

    As a middle-aged parrothead, I frankly don’t see the humor in this.
