Are you old enough to remember when AM radio was fun? Do you remember when “The Morning Brew” was a hoot and not just a redneck version of Headline News for radio?
Well, I am.
I am Tickled Pink to share with you the Paul & Spike Show is back! The fellas have teamed up with Radio Six International to produce a weekly show. I LOVE IT!! Spike posts the recordings here within a few days of the broadcast.
Not quite dead yet.
Nothing is sacred between them. I heard a rumor that The Film Geek will be a guest soon. Poor fella. He’ll never be the same.
Dial them up, load them down. Check them out. And when you send your fan mail to theusualaddress [dot] gmail.com, tell them the Muze was upon you to stop by.
Not just for breakfast anymore!

Thanks for the plug!
WOW! It’s so funny that you pulled that Morning Brew graphic! Where did you get it from? I can put the hacking references in context; it comes from when our crappy little Geocities website was hacked, good-naturedly, by one of our younger, more tech-savvy listeners. He took a snapshot of the main page and wrote something like “I HACKED THE MORNING BREW WEBSITE” across it. First I knew was an email in my in-box from the guy telling me he had added something to our site. It was my own stupid fault, the password was ridiculously guessable. Like “password” or something.
That old site is still online, untouched from late 2002: http://www.geocities.com/themorningbrew
And also, two random days from the old 58 Live website are stored in the internet archive, at archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20031221110823/http://www.58live.com/ and http://web.archive.org/web/20040202104636/http://www.58live.com/
Good times.

Where did I get that? I’ve had it since it happened. I swiped it and used it for a link on a Web site I built, back in the day. The site is still up, but the band has, well, dis-banded. You can still see it at http://www.rockinhorsewv.com .
I was around in those days. Gods, I was listening to 58 WCHS in 1989. Granted, it is much older than that, but Don Cook was the first local talk guy I recall. I’m a “Professional” because I’ve been a listener for 20 years. LOL
Who said you “never was?” Hee hee hee hee The proof is still on the Internet.

OMG! I totally remember them!
They were playing some local festival or other (Southern Thunder popped into my head, but that may be wrong) and I think we pissed the band off because someone (you??) called in to say they had changed their name from “Rocking Horse” to something lame like “Bob Jones’ Outlaw Band Of Outlaws”, and we said we liked the name ‘Rocking Horse’ better. I think we also pointed out that should only change a great band name to something involving your own name if people actually know who you are.
The whole rest of the week we called them “the band formerly known as Rocking Horse”, and pretended we couldn’t remember the new name, eventually ending up calling them “Billy Mays And The Tonight Show Orchestra”.
Wow…. brain fart! Oh we’re way never-wasses. We used Geocities, the early 2000s “My Space”. =D

Don Cook was my first WV radio mentor. I worked with him for several years, producing the Wheelers games he did and later his morning talk show.
That graphic cracked me up. I had forgotten about that.

I love the show! I’m still rooting for a reunion of the WV Bloggers Board to guest for an hour!
May 18, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I don’t see why not! Back on the old Rage Machine, I had entertained the thought of doing a regular ‘Bloggers Roundtable’ once every while, to get all the different persepectives on current affairs.
Just for (word edited by Muze) and Giggles, what would be your ideal blogger line-up?
May 18, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Now Spike, you know I didn’t edit that word. LOL
May 18, 2009 at 9:28 pm
That would be fun! Well, as long as you guys don’t get in some protracted fuss about what you think I said.

I’d vote for having Muze stop by from time to time to give a Tory’s perspective on things. She is one of the few conservative voices in this state who has an argument other than “those….those….those liberals!!!” and “Mexican lesbians are coming for my guns!!!”
May 19, 2009 at 10:43 am
Mexican lesbians! Don’t make me wee myself laughing. LOL
May 19, 2009 at 12:37 pm
I’m. on. a. Mexican… lesbian. I’m on a Mexican, whoa-oohhh, lesbian.

I love the Paul and Spike Show! In fact, they made me rent “Howard the Duck” this weekend after they talked about it a few shows back.
May 19, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Where the hell have you been?
May 19, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Yeah! Where *have* you been? You got a prize and everything!
Glad you’re digging the show. If this ever comes to court. I’ll contest that you were never *made* to watch ANY crappy movie!

Aaahhh ahhha hhha It’s like old home week!
No, I wasn’t the one who called. Although the lead singer was dating someone with the same first name at one time. (A running, inside joke about trying to keep up …) And you DO remember, somewhat, well. It was Southern Thunder. The lead singer changed the band name to Dave McCormick and the Outlaw Orchestra (gag!). The all-acess passes said “Dave Walker, and the Outlaw Orchestra.” Lame, it was.
Strange isn’t it.

I met Don a couple times. I heard, recently, that he’d been ill. He works for the State now or something. Maybe in Perdue’s office?
May 19, 2009 at 8:44 am
Yes, last time I saw Don he was still working in Perdue’s office. I ran into him last summer and he looked well.
