How to Access KSLU

The first thing you need to know about KSLU is that it's an internet radio station. This is lucky for you because you can listen in from anywhere. All you need is an internet connection and a media player that can access .m3u files (I know iTunes can do this, and I think Windows Media Player can)

- Go to the KSLU site slu.kslu.edu

- Click on the Yellow Box in the Right Hand Corner (see below)

- After you click on the box you can download the .m3u file and import it into your media player in the same way you would import a song.

DevilDriver at Pops

Dear Peoples,

On Wednesday August 26, 2007 I embarked on a journey to see some kick ass bands. This journey was straight into what most people would say is a "bad neighborhood" or "the wrong side of the tracks". Hell if we cared. I was with the Director of Hard Rock at KSLU and we were going to interview Dez Fafara, the lead singer of DevilDriver. We drove up to Pops and were met by DevilDriver's tour director. He lead us into the band's bus. The bus was like a sleeper car on a train that could drive on the highway. At the end of the bunks there was a lounge and we did the interview there.

I don't want to put the interview into this post yet becouse I don't have the recording and I don't want to misquote Dez. When the recording is put online I will post a link to it. The first thing you should know about Dez is that he's an awesome guy. It's unusual that a lead singer of such a large band would let in some college kids to interview him but he had no problem with it. One thing I can safely say is that his favorite color is purple. After that epic 20 minutes of interviewing we waited around for the concert. This was the lineup for the concert

This is one of the best concerts I've been to at Pop's. Soul Decenders was a great Thrash Metal band. They are right out of High School and they sound great. I would keep an eye on these guys. They're going to get big. Next was Dirtfedd, an industrial metal, keyboard driven band. They're lyrical content is very war based and is definatly a "Fight the Power" band. After that was My Children My Bride. They are a great Christan Metalcore Band. After that was of course DevilDriver. Dez and DevilDriver put on a great show. They have a great stage presence and a huge following. Although this following was not fully represented at Pops it was still a great show.

Best,

Drag Race at Gatway International Speedway

Dear Peoples,

On the 7th of August, 4 of my friends and I attended the Hardee's Gateway Drags II at Gateway International Raceway. The engines were loud, the tires were hot, and the cars hella fast.

Unfortunately, the Results of the race are not yet in so I can't post them.

However, I can tell you that world records were broken. I believe that one car made the quarter mile in 3.42 seconds (correct me if I'm wrong).

I also made a really cool video. Enjoy


If this video doesn't work try below

Drag Race at Gateway - The Underground City

Unfortunately we left before the rocket car took it's run. My 4 buddies and others who want to see what a rocket car run looks like. Here's the video taken from the videos of FlyByUNMy50Stang on YouTube





Well, that's how we roll at the races. In rocket cars.

Best,

The Renegade Rabbit

Rock the River

Dear Peoples,

On August 2nd, 2009 a free Christian Music Concert opened under the St. Louis Arch. This concert was put on by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. According to Wikipedia, Evangelism is the practice of converting people to different religions. This is mostly reserved for Christan and Islamic Religions because they have put forth the most effort to gather followers.

The purpose of this concert was two fold. To tell people the good news about Christianity and to have fun. For those who were already avid Christians it was a great concert. The right messages were put forth, the right bands sang there songs, and the atmosphere was lots of fun.

However, I am not part of the usual Christan Rock Concert crowd. Most of the concerts that I attend are more........Metalish. If that makes any sense. The bands are scary and demonic. The kids are screaming and moshing and the message is mostly about freedom and teen angst.

The Rock the River tour was much different. First of all it was free. So the concert tickets were non-existent. The biggest issue was parking. Luckily, my group found parking pretty easily by the river. Next was the walk to the stage. First we had to walk from the rivers edge to the Arch Grounds. In the Arch grounds there were tents like you'd see at a regular Concert. It had a bit of a fair vibe. There were corn dog venders and t-shirt venders right next to each other. After we waded through the Fair ground we got to the fences that blocked off the grounds. We waited till 2 when the gates opened. Security at this event was non-existant. I know for a fact that I could have carried any number of weapons, knives, or guns into the premisis. I carried my wallet chain in. Most of the concerts I go into require me to remove it and leave it into the car. I wasn't frisked at all and most of the people at the concert wern't frisked. Only bags were checked. When we got into the concert lawn chairs and blankets were rampant. Many of them were boardering the pit. This was clearly a bad idea. Partioning the areas would have been an excellent idea. That way those who want to be in the croud can be in the croud and those who want to watch from blankets and lawnchairs can.

This was who was on the bill at the concert.
