Dear Blog,
I've ignored you, neglected you & treated you shabbily in general. Since we last spoke Houndstooth has a new logo & all sorts of new stuff. We'll talk soon. Love you. Bye.

This Is Going To Be Tight
iTunes has totally flipped out on me. Insurmountable odds and impossible tasks have never done much to deter us so stay tuned...
With Any Luck
I'll be on the air tonite 9PM EST/6PM PST @Houndstooth Radio. Found some really great stuff today.
Boston Bruce & The Garage of Doom
Against common sense and doctor's orders I just spent the morning in the garage digging through my vinyl. Now I've never painted myself in a corner tho' I have seen others do it. I was so focused on the task at hand I managed to literally box myself in!
Suddenly I was surrounded by thick walls of vinyl. I low on water & out of food. If I had any hope of doing another radio show anytime soon, I had to act. Grabbing a stack of priceless rare wax I made my move.
I squooze thru a crack between the boxes triggering an avalanche of one-by-fours. I hurdled my work table. Just as I reached for the doorknob, a giant lawn umbrella whizzed toward me javelin-like. Fortunately, it only scored a glancing blow. I was home free.
Harrison Ford has nothing on me.

Wow!
That was fun. Hope I didn't sound to crappy. It seemed appropriate to play O Positive's "Up, Up, Up" as one of the final songs for my first Houndstooth Radio show. One of my major decisions as WFNX/Boston new Music Director in November, 1985 was to put O Positive's "Only Breathing" EP into heavy rotation. The other was to decide 'FNX wasn't going to play mainstream AOR or Pop radio shit anymore making WFNX the first truly 100% "alternative" station (sorry kids, but KROQ, WLIR, WHFS, etc., didn't come to this realization for almost a year or later if ever).
Wouldn't you know it but the very first time I personally played "Up, Up, Up" on the air O+'s brilliant but anal guitar player Alan Petitti called me up. "Check your turntables. You're playing our song too slow!", Al said. "Nice to meet you too, Al", I thought to myself. "Sorry I'm playing your fucking song a little too slow four more times a day than anyone else in their right fucking mind would ever do."
But Alan was absolutely right. I soon became fast friends w/O+ - the best of people. "Say Goodbye" was the final song I played on WFNX,
