Looking at the playlist for this week's KFAI Weekend on Demand and once again I'm astonished how your requests somehow all tie together. Today: selections inspired by Father's Day, Pride, maybe both at the same time? and of course my loving tribute to Micro$oft Internet Explorer.

90.3 KFAI / KFAI•org
5 to 7 PM CDT

Normally I wouldn't immediately seek out the sugariest pop ever following a tooth cleaning (and warning about my "borderline" cavity - they've been saying that jive for YEARS) but I saw a chance to get a bottle of this year's orange Baja varietal and suspected I would rather do that than get a 12 pack. Sure enough, the "Baja Mango Gem" reinforces my relationship with mango-related flavours...nice idea in theory but I do not want it in practice (see also: Pepsi Zero with Mango) - I MUCH preferred last year's Baja Punch or whatever it was. Do I even like mangoes? I thought I did. Well, it smelled nice. There's another yellow this year, too, but it looks very pineapple-forward so I don't even know if I want to risk a bottle.

It's appropriate that I'm having trouble finding the words because I don't think anybody's had an easier time of repeatedly leaving me speechless, although I HAVE made up for it by also making sure nobody's had to make sure I walked up the stairs and into my house more times. Thanks for always listening, always thinking sushi is a good idea, always thinking about corn, always loving me as unconditionally as you do, and I know you know I love you that much too. Hmm, guess I found some words after all. (I usually do.)

Better 12 days late than the day it turns 97 (also known as tomorrow)

Diverted to the curb to provide social distance to an incoming pedestrian; was rewarded by the Universe. See you at Dusty's later for It's Still The Weekend w/DJ Jeff Recommends!

No injuries today! (Yet!)

Too much going on tonight - very sad to be missing another performance from Simon (with Ron!) - that's at Eagles 34 - but I'll be attending the second MN Aurora home match at TCO then. And with apologies to the skating goths AND Nola and friends, I will probably be rushing straight to The Assortment once I am back in town! If I don't see you tonight, there's always tomorrow!

Nothing's Forever

(Shared from Kitten Forever)
✨ANNOUNCEMENT✨

It with heavy hearts we write to you today to announce that Kitten Forever has officially crossed the Rainbow Bridge. After caring for her dutifully for the past 16 years, it is time to put the baby to sleep.

We are a band no more!! There are quite literally not words to describe what our time as a band has meant to us and there are certainly even less words to describe the love and appreciation we have received from the music community here in Minneapolis and beyond. We would be nothing without the local scene and the love we received from our very inception as the resident house band at 2613 Lyndale Ave South has been unmatched. It felt exceptionally unique all those years ago to be uplifted out of the basement by our community and we honor you forever for giving us that gift.

We’ve accomplished more than we ever dreamed possible back in 2006 and now we are moving on to focus on other projects and passions. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who ever gave us a basement to play in or a couch to crash on or simply believed in our guitarless self-taught heartstruck and headstrong baby.

We are clearanceing out our t-shirts and tote bags on Bandcamp until they are gone. Our merch store will remain open for records, tapes and CDs indefinitely!

If you’d like to continue to follow Liz and Corrie’s creative endeavors, you can head on over to www.pinkyswearprint.com for the final commemorative Kitten Forever t-shirt’s and other weird screen printed shit. Want us to make your band shirt? Hit us up.

In the words of the very first song we ever wrote, “I wanted to be a Kitten Forever, but I’m dead.”

RIP US.

Finally made it out here - don't worry, it was mostly $1 and $3 records in this stack

9.6.22 12:11 Turns out I'm less excited about dropping a hundo on Dead Can Dance as I was two years ago or whenever it was
7.6.22 22:30 Note to self: have more birthdays on Taco Tuesdays 🌮🌮🌮 (Mortimers)
7.6.22 16:24 
HEY IT'S MY BIRTHDAY ALL DAY and again I have made no formal plans so I hope you'll informally show up at Mort's some time after 10 to congratulate me for living another year!

It's the summer of music. Get a weekly dose at @mortimersbar on Tuesday night baby. 😎✌️

When I completed Lap 51 at approximately 03:35 CEST (19:35 CDT), I was with David, but he's camera shy so I pasted Jason's head on top of him. New episode of Stone on Bone Friday night!
(KFAI-FM (Minneapolis))

Happy Birthday to Allison Anne!!!

Shout out to the little girl who asked if I was a boy or a girl - I did not stroke my beard before identifying as a boy

Hey what we're getting the band back together for one night only* with a stealth live on-air return of Stone on Bone with David & Jason tonight on Fresh Air from 8PM! 90.3 on the radio, KFAI dot org on the stream!

*I dunno for sure, they don't tell me anything

#tbt A decade ago, I took ownership of 24 cans of boiled peanuts by being the sole entrant in a "create a video about NASCAR's David Ragan and his sponsor, Margaret Holmes Peanut Patch boiled peanuts" contest, where I spent most of my 60 seconds talking about his teammate David Gilliland instead. Needless to say, this is EXTREMELY niche content but as CRZ fans, I know how you are here for it. I think I still have 20 unopened cans in the basement if you're dying for some boiled peanuts (which I am sure do not need a freshness date).

You DO NOT want to see the sludge that was blocking the intake, especially since I can't scientifically determine where it could have come from barring some kind of dark brown space slug landing in there when I wasn't looking.

I am also working through some kind of non-rona crud and if I find out it was one of you what gave it to me last week, there'll be a reckoning - but also if I passed it onto you, please be gentle to me because double standard

Never content, the product geniuses at Cheez-It have followed up on their SNAP'D varietal with this one: PUFF'D. These were *incredibly* disappointing. I want my Cheez-It snacks to taste like Cheez-Its! And I didn't know it until now but I need them to be CRUNCHY! These were simply Puffed Cheetos in a different shape. They tasted EXACTLY like puffs with the same airy almost ethereal consistency. If I wanted cheesy poofs, I'd buy cheesy poofs, dammit! Will not repurchase.

Oh hey I'm on the radio AND nailed the thumbnail photo!

28.5.22 05:25 To the turkey outside crying out for a mate: bro, I feel the strong desire to not be alone forever but it's 5.24 and you gotta let me sleep 28.5.22 04:30 Updated photos of my raspberried shin are now available for subscribers to my OnlyFans 27.5.22 21:51 Private Oates MAY play forever. (I DID walk here after all, but out on my neon-iest leggings to cover up my road rash - no new injuries yet!) (The Hook and Ladder Theater & Lounge) 26.5.22 22:43 
I was actually making pretty good time walking home from Black Hart until I did a spectacular wipeout on an unfamiliar uneven patch of University Ave W sidewalk between Hampden and Raymond. I'd love to say I managed to use my wounds to impress a cute lady walking a cuter dog later on but I think they both missed out. I need you to know I'm only posting this to draw sympathy from you and even though it doesn't look as bad as it feels, I STILL feel I've earned at least three "awwws" and two "poor babys." I may give up walking for .... who am I kidding, no more than 24 hours - depending on the weather. And I'll probably stick to the night paths I know.

Tonight, the Aurora FC joined the pantheon of Minnesota sports in the most Minnesotan way possible, allowing an equalizer in the 90th minute to end with a 1-1 draw. Still.....they didn't lose! Five more chances for a home win this season and it's still a fun time (for Eagan) 26.5.22 18:41 
I never thought I'd say this but LET'S GO MINNESOTA - BEAT GREEN BAY (inaugural USL W match for the Minnesota Aurora FC!)
(TCO Stadium Eagan) 25.5.22 12:45 Happy Birthday, Cashew! (No, wait - WALNUT. Here's another nut on your wal) 24.5.22 08:00 
SURPRISE on air for the next two hours at 90.3 and/or kfai dot org! (Perhaps even live video at kfai dot org slash live!) 23.5.22 11:34 
BREAKING NEWS: Guess I really AM back as I quickly resume my takeover of the KFAI airwaves tomorrow at 8am as I guest host New Like Whatever! Because this show is less than 24 hours away and I've done ZERO prep....what brand new stuff has tickled YOUR fancy - and what has it reminded you of? (Reminder: No swears!) 22.5.22 19:50 
On the left, Chili Cheese Fritos, one of my all-time favourites. On the right, Chili Cheese...RUFFLES? As you might expect, it's the exact same blend of cheese and spices, so it's still tasty and good but I think it also helps explain why they did this with corn chips and waited on tater chips. I don't think these will stick around and you might not miss anything by skipping them.
22.5.22 13:14 I didn't know how good I had it 22.5.22 03:55 As if I didn't have enough emotional experiences yesterday, at one point in Mort's I looked into a man's eyes and thought "wow, this guy might actually murder me tonight" - fortunately, his moment passed and he moved out of range to the main bar after merely trying to break my fingers with several modified "handshakes." I may need to try to manually fine tune whatever vibe I'm unwittingly putting out.

2022: the year a record number of people have wanted me dead - and the only time I've been happy to disappoint anybody, in this case by staying very much alive ;-)
21.5.22 22:23 Happy 7th! Hey wait did The Assortment start the same day my marriage ended? CREEPY (Mortimers) 21.5.22 15:25 
Hey hi there. Sorry if you're tired of my self-promotion but golly, I haven't done a radio show at KFAI since February 19! After a depressing and shitty three months, I expect I'll have a few things to say along with a few things to play. 5PM CDT at 90.3 on your radio, KFAI dot org for everywhere including where your radio isn't picking me up. As always, I hope to present the best show possible and the best version of me possible - I probably won't QUITE get there tonight, but it should at least be memorable! 21.5.22 00:51 
Wait, it doesn't say "NOT with?" Ope
