Q of THE WEEK: (see Monday)
Here's my answer
(
sorry for my low level in english
).
I consider that
radio
is for nowaday's times the best way to give
an
alternative
for
music
. We know that
internet
and its
"vices"
grew up with time, it
reaches
more people in the
world
but there
is still a lot of people that
not
have it, not want or so...so why not
using
radio
as a
promoter
for
some
scenes that are
unknown
,
ignored
or
forgotten
such as
TV.
Not really can let it run and local
organisators have sometimes diffiulties to do it.
Keep the fire burnin'!
Well, hope it an be ok like that for you. :)

Well,
radio
has
too
many commercials
in it anymore that is why I
listen
to
CD's
only....I
love
music
...especially
rock...
no
commercials with
CD's
.

an

r
adio to me is this...
an outlet for people to express through their music
dj.s and md.s to express their beliefs in music through what they
play, and for the listeners to express their way of life by what
they listen to.
it is a circle of intertwined expression and undying love and devotion
to music. KMBY is just one big happy family.

Jonathan
, first I'd have to
say
access,
to
new
bands I haven't heard of before. But, maybe that's
too
optimistic,
because
rest I feel disappointment that most everything
has
become
homogenized and there is
so
much sameness. Everything
is
run by
demographics. And,
that
will likely keep some bands from
ever
getting airplay.

*There are
so
many reasons why bands do
not
get
played. I could write a book about it.
But
, hey...some
do
...so always keep in mind that there are many reasons
why airplay or no airplay. Some political, and then if you
have amazing music...it might take years...but if you still
believe...who knows. Never give up...some trip and fall
into success. I'm not speaking of money and fame, but
being heard at least. -

Q of THE WEEK: (see Monday)
*An observation:
I find it rather
amusing
that this is a
radio question
,
and that most of you (
over 1,100
) of my regulars that
are
in the
business
,
that I faithfully e-mail each week...
cannot
take a
moment
to answer
about
YOUR
business. I know the holiday was in the way, but you are
back
now, so take that moment and let your personal feelings be known.
I thought
Duane Doherty's
response was
GREAT!
How about yours?
Now, on the other hand, many of my
myspace.com
friends find it very
easy
to give their
feelings
about
radio
. And, it doesn't matter that
most
are from
other
countries. They are great, because they
have
an
opinion
about yours, and my industry.
This is a
global website
, and maybe all of you in
radio
and at
labels
should pay attention. They are
your
listeners in a matter of speaking, and
they are
your
potential customers with purchasing power to maybe
buy
your
product. -

I
don't
listen to normal
radio
anymore,
it's
too
mainstream. I go for private
internet radio
stations because
I can find
music
that caters soley for my
taste
without adverts.
It's the
best
way to catch
new
bands and tracks you'd otherwise
never
hear.

Hi my friend!
The first word that
comes
to my head when
listening
,
radio
is
"publicity". In
Spain
there are
only
1
or
2
channels
with
interesting
music
and
not
interruption! Hate when they
cut
off the songs! : )

Anna Nicole Smith
Good to look at, but talentless. The former Playboy Playmate May 1992, and Playboy
Playmate of the Year 1993 was born in Houston, Texas 1967. After years of court
proceedings, Anna Nicole was awarded 88 Million Dollars in a settlement over the
battle over the money that was willed to her by short lived marriage to J.Howard
Marshall, a man much older than her. When he passed away his family fought to
keep Smith from the money. Her "reality" TV show was a farce. But with that kind
of bucks, what does she care anyway. Real name btw is Vickie Lynn Hogan.

Radio
today (
speaking from

,
nothing
much new,
same
music
with middle of the road

who are
afraid
to be

There
was
a time when
radio
was
cool! You
went
to bed listening to it and
woke
up to it. But today, it's
boring
, laced with commercials,
predictable
comments and programming and most of all
greedy
program directors/owners.
The
only
time when I look to
radio
for
informative
is when there has been a
natural disaster and/or a passing of a trail-blazer.
Station’s I
listen
to:
KKBT
,
KPWR
, and
KISS
(

Radio
...a
lost
form of communication.
However, here in the
UK
, our main
radio station
(
BBC Radio 1
) has taken
the step to go digital and broadcast on the
net
. The station
covers
all genres
of
music
, has regular, unbiased
news
reports, the world service, it even gives
advice
to students for all problems they may face, from revision help to support
through bullying.
In short,
radio
is accessible,
radio
covers so many things and so many
cultures/age groups...
radio
is accessible to all...long may it remain.

Robin Givens
The 5'6" beauty born in New York City 1964, probably commited the biggest
career killer when she married boxer Mike Tyson. All the headlines of abuse
and more did not help Givens, who began on TV's "Head of The Class" in 1986.
She has been in numerous average films since. Do look for her in a film that
is now in post-production, "Restraining Order".

Tina Turner
No doubt that Tina is a legend. She is a person who left a creep (Ike Turner) many
years ago and carved out a singing and somtime acting career like few have. Her
best attribute is her live performance's. For a woman born in 1939, Nutbush,
Tennessee, she can move and shake that thang! She will have a song in "The

One Last Word on Tattoo's and Piercings:
Tattoo's
and
piercing's
are
not
my thing although I see it as a piece of
art
.
I think it has to be in your social atmosphere. My brother got together with
someone who had a
piercing
and
tattoo
...and
not
long
after
that he
did as well.
Then he started to like it.
If I see some people...it is so
beautiful
the
tattoos
on them, but not for my self.

Man, the

broke
at work, so I missed your show last weekend.
I was looking over your playlist' and saw
Christian Death
in there.
I loved those guys, that would have been cool catching that on the
radio
.
So, I'm on vacation this week, and figured I'd a throw out a few goth request,
Bauhaus
is one of my favorites, something off
"In the Flat Field"
, would be
cool. Maybe some
Fields of Nephilm
, or
Alien Sex Fiend
. Haven't heard
My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult
in a while.
I was
surprised
you didn't have
Big Black
on hand, and your choice
threw
me way off, I didn't know who that was, until you said so. My favorite by
them is
"Songs About F**king"
, and
"Atomizer"
is really good also.
You down with the

I got a pile of stuff you might want to check out,

Probably best known as the ditzy blonde on the TV series "Married With Children".
Born in Hollywood, California in 1971. As she has grown and matured, in my humble

look for Christina to be in the sequel to "Ron Burgandy: Anchorman". As a personal
aside, I worked with Christina's sister at The Album Network.

tat
.
It was
crap
and I went to a different
tattooist
who basically covered
half my arm [
the original
tat
was 2in square
]. Then I got the bug and
got the other arm done, then my wrist, finger, ankle and back.
The

Hoping to get more done soon

I'm writing this from work so I have to be quick.
I have to say that I
don't
like
tattoo's
and I have no
piercings
at all.
I had my ears
pierced
, but they got
infected
and I had to let them heal up.
Tattoos
look great
until
they fade. Then they just look like a black

all told.
I took my

for her
first
tattoo
at the age of
60
.
I had my
first
one done at

I only have
four
in total but plan
plenty
more. I also have
7 piercings
,
none
below the neck line. My
tattoo's
are one on each arm, one on
my left shoulder and one on my back.
My bf has
tattoo's
and it was
me
who got him into it! I'm so proud.
I
don't
have
any
bad experiences with my
tattoo's
.
Tattoo's
don't disgust me, they're a huge source of interest to me.
PS: It helps having a friend with a

In reply to your request for info on the above, I have
2
tattoo's
at present (
planning more
:) ), and
24 piercings
.
I had my
first
set of lobes
pierced
at the age of
5
, but my
first
'proper'
body piercing
(
i.e. with a needle
), at the age of
22
(navel). I have always had
good
experiences - mainly I think
due to sticking with one
piercer
who I
trust
. My
piercing's
are...
6
lobes (
2 stretched to 6mm
),
2
scaffolds,
1
inner conch,

I was
23
, I got my first.
Two dragon, one on the right calf,one on the left upper arm, a

Hey Jon,
Like
tattoo's
on arms and shoulders, but
not
too much and
not
for me :)
I have
none
, never wanted, never wanted
piercing's
. I think
tattooing
is a way to
change
completely your
personality
- conscious and unconscious.
Could make one
feel
stronger e.g.(
like war painting
). Think one
should
pay
attention
to the
balance
between the body sides. :)

Q of THE WEEK: (see Monday)
Hey Jonathan,
I have a few
tattoo's
- dragon on the lower back , flower on abdomen,
free hand symbol on nape of my neck and a butterfly on my shoulder...
oh
, and my feet are done too.
I am a big fan of
piercing's
, having a few myself.
Both nipples, clitoris (
vertical
),
4
in each ear .
Obviously, having a
few
of each, I
don't
find them
disgusting
, I plan on
getting a few more
tats
in the next 12 months.
I was almost
16
when I got my first
tattoo
done, mate of my partner is
a
tat
artist and he did it as a job on the side for me.
Most
of my
experiences have been
good
, although getting the second nipple done
hurt
heaps more than anything else, I don't know why but it did.

I
have to say they (both
tattoo's
and
piercing's
)
definately
excite me!!! A major
turn on
. And, I find
guys
that have their
eyebrows
pierced
to be
extremely
sexy!!!
Unfortunately
my husband is
tattoo
free... (
He's afraid of them!?!?
) and he
doesn't
have his eyebrow
pierced
!! LOL!!! What a
baby!!!
I've been trying to
talk
him into getting a
tattoo
for years!! But he does have
both
ears
pierced
and his tongue
pierced
.
I have three
tattoo's
- the
first
one I got in
New Orleans
while on vacation
when I was about
20
-yrs old, on my lower left hip/stomach and it's a sun and
moon. The moon has a serene looking face, and the sun looks devious...
to represent my two sides. The
second
one I got is a large one on my lower back,
that I designed. It's tribal on the sides, and in the center there is a tribal sun with
the Italian colors inside, with the words
"LOVE GODDESS"
written inside! lol!!!
And the
last
one I got was done by an apprentice
tattoo
artist...aaaagghhh!!!...
need I say more?!?!?! And, it's on my ankle, it's a dream catcher, with tribal
that goes all the way around my ankle. I was suppose to go back to get it
"touched up"
but was afraid to... it hurt like hell!!! And, it was pretty terrible...lol!!
But, I
am
planning on getting it
fixed
soon. My first
piercing
was my ears when
I was a teenager, then my nose the day I turned
18
. Then I got my tongue, and
last my eyebrow. But I only wear earings in my ears and eyebrow these days.
Although I
am
planning on getting my nipples
pierced
soon
. The only thing that
has stopped me is that my husband said he doesn't want me to!?!?!? As strange
as that sounds... I think he's afraid I will
"change"
if I get that done. LOL!!!
Some kind of insecurity or something! But, it's only a matter of time before I do
it anyway. I am trying to allow him time to get used to the idea first. Or at least
get him to
"think"
it was his idea...LOL!!!

I have around
25
piercing's
,
all
in my face and ears.
I started getting
pierced
from the age of
17
and have had
good
experiences with all of them.
I worked for a
piercing
studio that was a member of the
APP
. I have
5 tats
and a large branding of a butterfly across the top of my back.
I think
body adornmant
, if
done
safely is a great was to
express
yourself.

iya jonathan!!
alls gravy on my side buddy, and i hope it's just the same for you.
Um, I've had your site
bookmarked
for ages now ;)
here's my take on the
Question of the week
dude :)
Piercing's
=
HOT STUFF
provided it's not a
prince albert
. Which I can
only
imagine
hurts like a bitch on heat. It's definitely not a turn on for
me, I'm more of the
'naturally hung'
fan if anything.
Tattoo's
= well
spank
me
stupid
and call me crazy but
DAYUM
tats
are
hot!
I'm gettin one on the back of my neck, like
you
Jonathan of a
hibiscus
which
would signify my
Pacific Island
heritage. That one I want for xmas.
For new years I'd like
AMOR VINCIT OMNIA
which is latin on my arms.
I'm gettin one for each arm.
Dude, you have a kick ass
tat
on your back.
That
one rocks.
Anyways, have a
hardout
awesome week.
Much love,

Jonathan,
I have one
Tattoo
that is
very
important to me.
It is a large
Torch
on my back. Many years ago I
was
married to
the love of my life... we were at a
Sisters of Mercy
concert early
90's, and they have a song they do called
"TORCH"
and it talks
about if one person loses thier way
would
the other carry the torch
for them? (
or as so we interpreted the words
) so my husband and
I
promised
that day in the packed stadium if something ever happened
to one of us that the other would carry the
torch
forever.
Well
, three years later my husband ended up a
"missing person"
myself
and his family spent the better part of ten years
searching
for him. Nothing
was ever found
not
a trace nothing!!!! Finally upon giving up the search
I went to a
tattoo
parlor and had them
tattoo
a lare flaming
tattoo
on my
lower back (
9"length x 4" wide
) with the
date
we were married in
roman
numerals
put on it, and a symbol from the book of runes that represented
loss and separation.
To this day I keep my word and I carry the
Torch
for my
lost
love.
(
ok, cant say my current love cares for it much but it means the world to me
)
"and now the Torch and shadows lead, were it not so black and not so hard
to see...and would you carry the torch for me?"

Q of THE WEEK: (see Monday)
Excite you or disgust you?
I
like
them
lots
, probably slightly
more
interested in
tattoo's
though
because they are a bit more
detailed
and
interesting
to look at.
Have any?
Yes
How many?
I have around
20 tattoo's
and
32 piercing's
if you
count
them all
individually
.
At what age did you get your first?
First
piercing's
before
the age of
12
and first
tattoo
at about age
25
.
Where on your body?
Piercings
are: ears, nose, eyebrows, bridge, labret,
tongue, nipples, navel, VCH.
Tattoo's
are both arms (upper and lower),
shoulders, finger, legs, bottom of back.
A Good experience getting them?
I
don't
enjoy getting
piercing's
done at all but
tattoo's
I don't mind because
its a
different
sort of
pain
.

I'm
no
good for a story this week,
cuz I got
no
tats
or
piercing's
of any kind!
Damn me!
Nothing against
either, just
not
really the
piercing
type and I
haven't
figured out a
good
tattoo
that I would want
forever
. I will
eventually
be
marked
up one of these days, I'm sure...
maybe
I'll
run
out and
get
some ink
real
quick so I can
come
up with something...

Well
, depending on your interpretation,
I
either
have
26
small
tattoo's
or
2
small
ones and
1
big
one.
I love
tattoo's
and see them as a beautiful
method
of
self expression
.
I had my
first
one done when I was
21
in
San Fransisco
up in the
Haight
.
It is a
small
design below my
belly button
, hurt like hell, but made me
feel
completely
invincible - a
theme
that
runs
through all my
tats
.
The
second
was a couple of years later, and was a
spur
of the
moment
thing. I
took
my sister to get a
design
and we had
recently
become
close
after a big age gap
closed
a bit, so
she
suggested we
both
get one done.
I
chose
a wall design and that went on the
bottom
of my
back
.
The
big
design on my
back
was actually put together by my boyfriend and I.
I wanted something that wasnt going to look like a
'fashion'
tattoo
, and nothing
too
girly, so the
size
was important. It took
3.5 hours
in total and again,
hurt
like hell, but was an
incredible
experience. I am very
pleased
with it and get
comments
about it when I go out, which is cool. It
isn't
finished yet, I need to
do something about the placing of the second one, which now looks off side.
I
have
some more plans for it, but need to
wait
out the summer here in
NZ
before
that
happens
.
Tattoo's
, to me, are like a
diary
of
events
. I will
look
back at my old, wrinkly
body and be
reminded
of times in my
past
and how I
felt
and
why
.
As for
piercing's
, I have a
navel
ring which is about 12-years old,
7
earrings
,
used
to have about
15
, but they
wouldn't
settle down. Same thing happened
to the
2
eyebrow
rings I have had. Just
wouldn't
settle, so
took
them
out
.
I like
piercing's
, and
like
the way they look, but as with
tattoo's
, a person can
wear
them very, very
badly
. I am a
tattoo snob
, I guess.
Don't
come to me
with your
devil
on your
buttock
, or your dolphin round your
navel
, type
bollocks!
Not interested!

Tats,
well
, I
have
some,
mostly
they were about
hurting
myself if I'm honest,
which I am, brutally. I
love
them
on
guys but
only
certain styles body
piercing
.
Gosh,
all I have now is my
ears
including
flesh tunnel
and my
tongue
and
clit
. I
had
loads at one point
like
massive spikey
keep
away signs..
I was
16
when I had my first
tat
. It
wasn't
a particularly good one.
My
best
is a green eye weeping blood
on
my
left arm.
I've been into
piercing's
since i was
12
. I
used
to love
having
more and more earings
put in during school lunch break. I
only
wear
6
now though.

Hi Jonathan
.....Well, I have a few
tattoo's
.
My
first
tattoo
was my partners name
"Davy"
on my
calf
which was
10-years ago. I then had a
gothic
design which was
designed
by
Davy
and
tattooed
by
John
on my
upper right arm
, next was an exploited skull
by
John
again on my
left upper arm
. My partner was at this time
learning
to
tattoo
and I was a
willing
guinea pig and he did
his
first
tattoo
on me
which was a large
lower back
tribal with a red diamond in the
middle
.
I've
since
had a small tribal
above
my partners name, blue stars on my
upper
arm
with a purple background and
"Nirvana"
in
big
lettering as a band on my
arm,
also have a large cats head on my
stomach
surrounded by flames, a
small skull and crossbones with stars on my
lower left arm
,and my latest are
my gorgeous red tartan hearts on my
chest
. I will be
having
my
right arm
sleeved when
Davy
has time as he's very
busy
at the moment as
we
are opening
up
our
own
tattoo studio
Cruithni Tattoo
in the new year.
I find
tattoo's
very appealing. What I
don't
like
seeing
is
badly
done
tattoo's
on
young
people...people that
haven't
been
advised
on
design
and
placement
.
Piercing's
, I've got
2
labrets which I always wear my glittery red jewel balls on,
my
ears
which were
stretched
to 6mm, but at the moment I just have
2
barbells in
each and my
bellybutton
piercing
, which I've had for 14-years and didn't take out for
two
pregnancies
...so there you go. Cheers,

Good experience getting them?
Other than the pain of getting one on the top of the foot and the
really weird pain of getting one in the mouth, I knew all but one
of the guys that did my tats, and I would totally get a millon more
if I didn't work in an office!

I
'm a
big
fan of
tattoo's
and
piercing's
, although I have
seen
plenty of
"misplaced"
piercing's
on people, and I
don't
like it when people have
gone
too far.
I have
eleven piercing's
...
7
are regular
ear
piercing's
,
1
Tragus (
ear
)
piercing
, my
nose
is
pierced
, my
bellybutton
and the last one
is...well, it's somewhere
special!!
That
piercing
was the
most
painful, but it
only
hurts
for 10 seconds. Once the jewelry is in...you
don't
feel a thing!!
The Tragus
piercing
was the
hardest
to
heal
due to the
entire
piercing
being
through
cartiledge. That
one
was a
bitch
.
I have several tattoos...the
first
one I
got
was a
tattoo
of my own
lips
on my right
ass
cheek. I
don't
see it very often, but it still
makes
me
laugh!!
Then I
had
a
dainty
tribal vine-like
tattoo
done on the top of
my
right foot/ankle
...it kinda
starts
on
top
of my
foot
and
scrolls
around the
ankle bones
. That one
may
grow at some point. Then I have a
round
, medallion-like
"stained glass window"
on my
upper back
, just
below my
neck
.
I
recently
just
added
to that a
HUGE
purple lotus (
upper
right shoulder blade
) and that
seques
into one I designed on my
right
arm
(
my husband has the matching
). I also have one on my
left wrist
that is
my husband's signature.
All totaled
, I've been in the chair
8
times,
with
more
on the way!

Excite you or disgust you?
Tattoo's
excite of course! How
could
anything so
pretty
and
colourful
ever be disgusting!
Piercing's
, I
like
but not as much. I like the
old
rule,
if it
sticks
out its meant to be
pierced
. I'm
not
so
fond
of the
implant
type
piercing's
or
odd
places
like
between fingers etc.
But
, I have
no
probs with
other people with 'em, I just
wouldn't
have them there myself.
Have any?
Oh yes!
How many?
I suppose the answer is
four
for the
tattaoo's
and
16
for the
peircing's
. Although I
don't
wear all my jewelry anymore.
At what age did you get your first?
15
for
tattoo
, its illegle but I
lied
about
my age and
11
for my
piercing
.
Where on your body?
Tattoo's
are -one
large
one on the top of each
arm
from
shoulder
to almost
elbow
, one all round
right wrist
and one round
navel
. Earings
-
7
in
right ear
,
5
in
left
(
I only wear one pair at mo
)
1
in
navel
,
1
in
nose
and
I have had
three
in
clit
. (
I dont wear these at the mo either
)
Good experience getting them?
I
enjoyed
all my work
except
the
navel
tattoo
.
it
cut
like a
razor
and my face went
grey
thoughout. Its the
closest
I have been
to
passing
out through any of my work. I would quite like a
back
piece but I
can't
decide what I want and until Im sure I wont start it. I have made
mistakes
before,
underneath
both large pieces are smaller
crappy
ones! I dont want to have to a
massive
back piece
twice
. All my
piercing
bar one, were
done
by
myself
and I
have
done
all my
husbands
too including his
Prince Albert
.

I was
15
when I went to the
tattoo
shop the
first time (
no, they didn´t ask me for my ID card
). I got a little
skull
with
a
rose
in it´s
mouth
on my
left forearm
. During the years it got really
blurry
so it was
covered
up in
San Diego
by
Scottie
last August when I
was in L.A.
I
have
some more, the next
tattoo
will be
done
by my
man
, a
cover
up of
my
moon
and
stars
on my
left hand
.
