Just started a new column over at Kayfabe Today http://kayfabetoday.com/index.php/2017/06/04/chasing-the-storm-a-retrospective-of-jushin-thunder-liger-episode-1/ The idea is to watch Liger from the beginning via New Japan World. Liger was my favourite wrestler when I was really young, so primarily this is about seeing if my opinions on him hold up, as well as discovering matches I didn't see when I was pre-teen, pretty much. Thought this might be along the lines of something people here might like, so enjoy! The updates won't be regular regular, but I'll post whenever I add a column.

So, 10 years ago, I recorded a concept album called Double Murder Suicide inspired by the Chris Benoit tragedy. A year or so later, I put out another one about the Hart Family, then about the fall of WCW, and then about Ric Flair in 2012. Despite a band name as shocking/morbid as "Double Murder Suicide," the albums are homemade, lo-fi pop (think early They Might Be Giants with slight post-punk bend and occasional balladry ala Guided By Voices maybe?). Today, I've released my fifth wrestling-inspired concept album, Razor's Edge Suitcase, and it is now up for sale via Peanut Butter Records through Bandcamp. All proceeds (or I should probably say "almost all" becau…

Hey guys, As you guys know, I am one of the board members at my college's radio station called Montco Radio, Montgomery County Community College's Internet Radio Station which can be found on www.montcoradio.com. Today I made an agreement with Brad and Chad of the PWO PTBN podcast network to program their shows on our overnight and weekend programming.

What I want to do is make a block on certain nights between 10 PM EST and 8 AM EST and weekends to fill some programming. Your shows will be uninterrupted with no ads or PSAs. Some of the shows I plan on launc…
