Great show last night. After short technical difficulties and two hiccups on the automation the show sailed smoothly. I especially liked when a fellow Z89 DJ called in to lambaste me for technical problems, telling me that I’m “f*****g terrible” […]

Round The ‘Block: 2/27/11
Dear Readers, Pardon the phrase, but, holy crap. This past week has been a roller coaster of emotions. A lot of good, some bad. All-in-all a ton of fun. Props to Mike Lederer, Jurassic Paque, Terry Horstman, Matthew Harris, Casey […]
Round The ‘Block: 2/22/11
Holy Cow! Yesterday was one heck of a day around The [Five] and on The NickelBlock. Top Contributor, Mike Lederer, spent the entire day yesterday following the Carmelo Anthony trade here on The [Five] and then broke the story at […]

Round the ‘Block: 10/12/10
Ho-Lee-Cow. Fantastic show. Great show. Best show since, well, last week. Colt Murray stopped in, Alex Brewer (as always) jumped on the air and, heck, I even mixed in some quality underground hip hop! My Five Cents Colt Murray called […]
