I was told a little short notice but I will be on the air one hour from submitting this journal for the next three hours after that, playing (most likely) my favorite tunes in the death rock genre followed by a good chunk of post punk/coldwave, after that I might improvise and throw in a few other favorite tunes. I'm sleepy already and did not expect to do this, so if you want to help keep me awake through messages, I'd appreciate it.

I submitted these photos of Lykke Li almost two years ago, when her popularity had just begun to gain a little ground in the United States. A few good people I've befriended here on dA commented on it--and not just empty flattery, but appreciation for the effort it took to photograph a low-light concert with a Canon Rebel XT.

Well it's not that I don't like receiving comments.

But I've hated most of every one of the comments I've been receiving on those Lykke Li photos I've gotten these past 6 months.

Yeah, I'm being a brat. I can't just suck it up and deal with the way popularity and dA works.

Thanks to her escalating popularity (not that I have a problem with her success), I can now check back after weeks of little to no activity to find comments like, "I luve her <3 <3" and "She's amazing."

Do you like Lykke Li? LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE MUSIC FORUM forum.deviantart.com/entertain… , because I couldn't care less. Also, put in a little more effort to be at the forefront of music scenes, as opposed to waiting until they sell out enough for MTV's level of cheap.

I can only imagine the frustration (or that they've just had to accept it) professional photographers/tribute artists/music reviewers experience.

Rant aside; how have you all been?

Hey that rhymes!
As if I couldnt feel any more pressure, I'm going to advertise this to my few remaining dA watchers:

Peeling Grey invades KUCI 88.9fm www.facebook.com/event.php?eid…
Most, if not all, of the band will be there for an in-studio interview PLUS we will get to hear their debut album "The World's Not Sorry" and some of their fav songs that inspire them as musicians.

So yeah, tune in on March 2nd from 10p - 12a (PST) to hear me get nervous and talk to some cool strangers on kuci.org (If the streamer in the top right hand corner won't work, there is a low quality streamer on cafedecay.kuci.org)

Cheers.

Café Decay now airs on Wednesday nights, 10p - midnight (Pacific time).

So it's a new year! Happy 2011 everybody, and what is new in your lives?

So the feedback I'm getting about my show description is that no one knows what kind of music show I have. I like it because it's short and open-ended so I can play a variety of genres, but sort of thematic because my radio program does have a particular atmosphere. But I feel like people looking at the program guide might skip over my show because it's too vague.

Any suggestions? I could really use some help.

My radio program (God the new quarter cannot start soon enough so I can request a new time slot)
