On Not Knowing When to Shut Up, Part One
KWVA is the epitome of what a community radio station should be. No one guides the musical direction of the radio station but ourselves... KWVA is not listener friendly.--KWVA Newsletter, Winter. If you read this carefully, you can pinpoint exactly when the truth serum kicks in.
Then it ran up my body and welcomed me face to furry face. I think I'm going to stay awhile! Then, briefly and tentatively, the flying squirrel sat on my face...It was ticklish, as little feet quivered with energy.
--Insurgent, February. Save it for Penthouse Forum, folks. Would Penthouse even take this? Maybe Hustler. We hear Flux 99 is looking for stories.
On The Order of Magnitude
And what a history it's been: the roaring '20s, flower power, Reaganomics, draft dodging, Tracktown, U.S.A., riots, suicides, the Great Depression, Nike, world wars and Dave Frohnmayer.--Oregon Daily Emerald, Friday, Apr. 2. Wait a minute. Shouldn't Dave Frohnmayer go between riots and suicides?
On The Standards of the Day
In the beginning of the 1910s, the Oregon Emerald, not yet a daily, didn't cover much hard news. A flood of stories about where the Glee Club was heading for the weekend, the day's football practice, and a concert put on by some "pretty co-eds" covered the pages.--Emerald, Monday, April 5. You've come a long way, baby.
War hits Emerald healdlines in 1910s
--A headline (!) in the Emerald, April 5th. And "Clumsy typing hits Emerald heaqsdlkines in 1990s." At least you're not still running stories about extracurricular activities, athletics, and local music events. That would be just plain embarrassing.
On Something Lost in the Translation
UN COEUR EN HIVER - Depressing. Mind games. Great soundtrack!--Oregon Voice, Valentine's Issue 1999. Bewildering. Lame movie. Abstract review!
On Is This All You Think About?
Fine food will hopefully spark some debate on the world's problems.--Insurgent, February. Mmm, yeah, (slurp) we really oughtta do something about (gulp) world hunger (buuuuuuuuurp!). This chili dog reminds me of Rwanda.
On We Had to Find Some Way to Spew This
Come see the Lonely Pot Sale.--EMU Craft Center Bulletin, Winter. We couldn't just leave it there and not do something with it, really.
We'll focus on percussion techniques with hammer stones and pressure flaking with antler tines. Materials included.
--From the same Bulletin. Don't ask. We don't know.
On Paradox
This issue speaks to the nerd in all of us...Sadly, this issue we say goodbye to our premiere artist, Michael Wight.--Oregon Voice, March. It doesn't make sense, but the good news did keep us reading.
On Part Two
I'm gonna be emperor of the world, president of the known human race. I'm running on the big tits and ass ticket. Tits and ass for all males who desire it... I'm leaving before I get myself in any more trouble.--Scott Austin, talking to a hat.
