First there was Rush Limbaugh. then came Jeff at East Village Radio. when I stopped by last week to drop of the WAR album, I didn't realize he was walking into some dick's super-eclectic non-musical radio show called Just Music. a seemingly cordial interview was, in fact, a tongue and cheek ridicule of me.
Fast forward one week later and i'm still pissed! it is a weekly radio show, and it was about to air that night. i called up Rcyn and Shockwave and we headed down to the station with a plan (my original plan was to make DJ Jeff play a song off the album. Shock talked me out of it and we decided to tag the station with stickers)
So we're tagging the station and Jeff started freaking out from behind the glass. he came out, realized who i was, and got a little nervous. he couldn't believe that i actually tuned into his show to hear myself being trashed. "Relax, the stickers come right off" i said, but continued that i couldn't understand why an east village radio station would trash an east village band and "i TOLD you i live in this neighborhood!" Jeff explained that he has a dick radio persona and his listeners understand that, and that he DIDN'T really throw my album out into the street like he had said he did on last week's show. he then invited us in for another try at a cordial interview with his partner Casey. they were intrigued with the Rush Limbaugh story and played Lazy Fat Stupid American off the album, since i seemingly argue with radio personalities for a living.
They surprisingly liked the song, and in the end everyone came together for a common cause: just music.

Show: http://tinyurl.com/GG-eastvillageradio. Dec. 6 show but it's a little annoying because it only streams and we walk in halfway through a 2 hour show. don't forget this song is a free download on our site: click on music and download track off album list.
