I like lots and lots of music and that's why I have a radio show. Well, half of a radio show. Thor Bloodbath and I split the show. I play tunes for the first half, he picks tunes for the second. Our system works well as it's like two shows for the price of nothing. Every week, in preparation for my show, I make a playlist from my personal music library in which every song is lovingly selected and tenderly sequenced to make your JGKFLTCEND listening experience as enjoyable as possible. In essence, each show is a mixtape, a journey, an experience, an adventure, a declaration, a statement of defiance towards the current consumerist musical climate, a salute to artists who care about their craft and don't see their music as a product, a middle finger salute to whoever deserves one (just because), a glimpse into the curator's psyche, an event of moderate proportions, an experiment in exceedingly excessive and exhaustively extensive hyperbole, an effective effort in extremely exuberant examples of alliteration!!!!!!(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Simply put, I play the songs I like to hear by artists many people haven't heard because I think they're worth sharing. Try to give the show a listen sometime, you might like what you hear. And if you don't you can always request one of your favorites.

Juicy Goat Knee Faucet Left Turn Correct English Navel Dawn with Jeremy and Thor Bloodbath is the proper name of the show. The not-so-secret-anymore is that the name has no inherent meaning and is nothing more than a random collection of words (words lucky enough to be immortalized in the annuls of college radio history, however. let's not be modest ;) Using contraceptives and one night stands as a metaphor, Thor and I believe the conception of the idea for the name was a mistake, but we kinda like it now. Plus, it's kinda catchy, ain't it?
