Music City Deathmatch








Music City Mayhem has gone greater than expected. It's just another step towards supporting local music on Lightning 100. I went out for St. Patrick's Day dressed up as a Leperchaun, which gets you tons of free drinks, when I ran into one of the completing bands. I waited until 12 o'clock to read them their results, to find out it was a tie. Honestly, we did not even think about this when coming up with the MCM contest. So the next morning I get a call from my boss about coming into the station for an interview/update on what we are going to to break the tie. Being a little hungover, I still held my own during the interview where I told Mary Brace on the morning show at we're playing on having a deathmatch. We later decided that we would have a call in during Lt. Dan's lunch request hour.

During the Request Lunch Hour, we had fans call in and vote either for Parachute Musical or Lorien. We also had a Coldplay giveaway accuring during the same hour. Parachute Musical ended up winning the tie breaker, while Coldplay came in second place with people calling during the giveaway.

Dancing for the stars

I stumbled across Lonely Island Productions after getting an email about one of their first internet videos "Just 2 Guys". It is a hip hop song about how much 2 guys are having, by themselves, at their party. The awkward humor internet sensation later lead them to working on SNL for the digital shorts. The lasted addition is I'm on a Boat featuring T-Pain. I actually want to address the other videos they have up that I have never seen. They captured amateur videos of Jorma dancing backstage during sound check during SNL!
