It’s called Young Folks?by Peter Bjorn and John.

I like it. Lynch and my boss don’t. It’s catchy dammit!

There’s actually a funny blog called Stop Peter Bjorn and John.

What do you think?

Today we played something from one of my Top 3 all-time albums. The band is now called dios (malos). Before they were called just dios. Ronnie James Dio, the hard rock meathead, sent the band a cease-and-desist letter because he thought the name was too close to his band’s name?Dio.

The first album blew me away. Pure genius. I waited and waited for a second album - hoping for more gold. The album came out, I bought it same day…and cried myself to sleep. I didn’t really cry, but I was really disappointed. They went from this interesting mix of folky, Beach-Boyish, electronic spiced music, to a fairly average sounding rock band. The third album marked a slight return to the style of the first, but it’ll be tough to top their debut.

The song I played was You Make Me Feel Uncomfortable.

new words for ya…

• E-lope: To get married in online form only.
• Lost weekend: To spend an entire weekend watching Lost on DVD.

• Retroproductive: Doing things that actually make you go in the reverse direction of your intended destination.

Todays track was from The Pale, now known as The Pale Pacific. We played the song Gravity Gets Things Done from the 2003?album of the same name.

It’s spring and the blossoming has begun. Turd blossoms. If you own a dog, pick up after it, otherwise you shouldn’t have a dog. Owning a dog comes with responsibilities, and if you can’t pick up its poop, then?you’re not responsible enough. If your dog poops under a bush, where nobody is likely to ever tread, you get away with a warning. If your dog poos?on grass where people can walk, and you don’t stoop ‘n scoop, you should be given a large fine and be sentenced to a few hours of community service picking up dog turds in parks. If your dog takes?a dump on a cement sidewalk or pathway that was designed for people?to walk on, you should have your dog taken away, and not be allowed to own a pet for 3 years. You should also be tied down while a?Great Dane unloads on your chest. Currently it is against the law in Calgary to not pick up after your pet (except on your own property), but the bylaw isn’t particularly well enforced.

I love dogs, but get annoyed at irresponsible owners.

P.S. the Calgary Humane Society has plenty of great pets up for adoption. Another great searchable directory for adoptable pets is Petfinder.com

Today we debuted a new feature, Josh’s Big Box O CDs. Happens weekdays at about 4:45PM. These are great songs that have slipped through the cracks. Some are?cool indie tracks, others might be tracks from artists you know - but something a little different.

Today I played?Grandaddy and a song called Now It’s On.

Man you really are a loser. The ?make out inside RV? plan didn?t work, the ?put the X sticker in the boobs? didn?t work either, and now you?re begging for other singles to join you on the hunt? Lame?.

If you stop putting your mom on the air then maybe people wouldn?t think you?re a pussy?. well a big maybe?

You are the most annoying and unfunny DJ in calgary. Oh and I noticed you stopped bitching about how bad calgarians are in driving? How?s that speeding ticket and the crashed car? lol

?Wouldn’t it be easier for you to turn the dial to another station, as every other DJ in Calgary is more entertaining and funny? Yet, you seem to have heard all sorts of stuff on my show. Just turn the dial man, don’t torture yourself. Find a station that’ll make Brokeback-style jokes…cause that is definitely Hi-larious! I’m not begging anyone…just trying to help out the singles, myself included. I have not stopped bitching about Calgary drivers. There are many terrible, over-cautious drivers in this city. There are also many left lane hogs. I got a speeding ticket, but so what? I also got into a bumper scratching collision, because of sheer ice. My opinion hasn’t changed.

Now please turn the station to one that will make funny poop and gay jokes, as I don’t want you listening anymore. I try to cater the show to smart people, so obviously the show just isn’t for you.

P.S. if you’re not?a teenage girl, you shouldn’t be using?”lol”
