Hi

Hello and welcome. I'm a Graduate student at the University of Cincinnati. I hope to get my MFA (Masters of Fine Arts)at the end of September. This statement alone may make you head for the hills. I am into art. Into the strange and unusual margins of the contemporary mainstream. So, if you are a fan of A-list Celebes, enjoy blockbuster films, American Idol, and read Weekly People, than you should move on. I am fascinated by some icons of pop culture, such as; 2pac, Elvis, and the Scarface movie. This is more in a anthropological and sociological sense. The occasional bad plastic surgery is fun too. But if you are like me and question everything, and aren't afraid to test new waters, then I welcome you with arms wide. We can enjoy this silly life together.

I got an ipod and started testing out 'podcasts' and I found what happen to be the best so far.

They are both broadcast on the wonderful station WFMU out of East Orange, NJ. The first is a mash-em-up program put on by artist Vicki Bennett. Do or DIY with People Like Us is a mixture of all things way-out. You'll get a barrage of kiddie records, sleazy listening, and sounds downloaded from odd corners of the web. If you like space-age-maladies and you held on to your old Peter-Pan records for kitsch value. Than I'm sure you'll dig it. The next show is also found on WFMU and it's The Best Show On WFMU! er, that's what it's called...TheBest Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling. Let them tell ya about it...

Join host Tom Scharpling as he navigates through the world of open phones, hilarious fake callers and scary real callers! This is the only place where the Scharpling & Wurster magic goes down! Bigwigs like Conan O'Brien, Patton Oswalt, the staff of The Onion, David Cross and Todd Barry all love it - now it's your turn!

Find all the fun here!

I have to get used to this Blogger business. This comes after two were lost using spell-check, et al.
