  There actually is.  Line Island Time.  Right now I believe it's 
UTC+14.  After we moved back to Standard Time in November, it took me an 
hour to look up each of those time zones and make sure everything was in

The Talk2 List Tonight on The John Zone

2009-08-31 Thread John Clower
 It's been awhile since I've posted what some might call a show teaser, 
or disclaimer, depending on your opinion.  But despite their outlines 
not being passed along, The John Zone is very much alive and kicking, 
wriggling about like a lethargic marmoset caught in a bear trap.
 Throughout the month of August, the dozens of fictional staff 
personell have been laboring laboriously to comemmorate Woodstock's 
fortieth anniversary, complete with any and all serious and satirical 
tracks on the subject of the 60s counter-culture movement.  Most would 
quickly point out that it is in fact September, but as the septic tank 
must once every few decades be drained, refilled, and swam in, so too 
must the vast stores of material prepared for past shows be spilled out 
onto the proverbial airwaves for all to enjoy.
 Students around the world have been returning to schools of all sorts 
throughout the past few weeks.  In their honor, we must give them all a
proper send-off in the traditional comedic fashion, while being 
courteous and not pointing out the fact that many of us never ever have 
to go back to school ever again.  All of this, along with Weird Al 
Yankovic's latest single, an update on my unfortunate grad school 
anecdote, plenty of coffee, an almost tasteful tribute to the late Ted 
Kennedy,your requests, comments, and flan will round out another 
edition of The John Zone, beginning tonight at 6PM EDT, 5PM CDT, 11PM 
BST, and on Wednesday at 8AM CST and 10AM NZST.
 For those who may not have listened to any broadcast on The Beyond 
Radio Network for some time, fear not, for the link, like the 
aforementioned septic tank, has not been changed for the better part of 
seven months.  Simply click http://listen.tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg.m3u,

  Some may tune in to The John Zone tonight in passing, and as such, shall
be very confused.  Tracks about ducks and the state of Georgia will be
interspersed with old Les Paul and Jackie Wilson recordings, strange
national anthems, and Marie Serneholt's latest single.  They may ask
themselves why John is doing such things.  Well, it just so happens that
June 9 is a day of great historic significance.  The Harvard Corporation was
founded on this day in 1650.  James Oglethorpe was granted a royal charter
on this day in 1732, which founded the state of Georgia.  A mass exodus of
Mormons took place on this day in 1856; and perhaps most importantly, Donald
Duck made his debut in the Disney short, Wise Little Hen, on this day in
1934.  Today also marks many a birthday: including Mae Whitman, 21; Matthew
Bellamy (of Muse), 31; Samoth (of Zyklon), 35; Michael J. Fox, 48; Jon Lord
(of Deep Purple), 68; Jackie Wilson, who would be 75; Johnny Ace, who would
be 80; Les Paul, 94; Fred Waring, who would be 109; and finally, Peter The
Great, who would be a mere 337 if he were still alive today.   There are
also several very important holidays which must be observed this evening.
For our Ugandan listeners, we shall not overlook the fact that today is
National Heroes Day; and our many friends in the Aland Islands are
celebrating Autonomy Day, which commemorates the now eighty-ninth
anniversary of their partial independence from Finland.  Such an occasion
cannot be ignored.  Finally, The John Zone will turn to Thailand, for
Bhumibol Adulyadej ascended to the Thai throne on this day in 1946.  Aged
eighty-one, he is the longest reigning monarch in the world, and based on
what I've been able to find out, one of the longest despised monarchs as
well.  All this, as well as your requests, comments, and handkerchiefs are
welcomed tonight from 6 to 10PM EDT at http://listen.tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg.

  It's once again that time of the week where the pigeons and grackles of
automation flock for cover as The John Zone steamrolls its way into what
would otherwise have been a quiet Tuesday evening.  Tonight we pay tribute
to the sixty-fifth anniversary of the D day operations of June 6, 1944, as
well as the 113th birthday of the world's oldest surviving veteran, Henry
Allingham, who turned forty-eight years young on that fateful day.
  Also, one of our most beloved hens will have just completed her voyage
across this great country as of the beginning of tonight's broadcast.
Because she is awesome, and because she stayed up for my entire
twenty-six-hour broadcast from January 8, 2008, she and her voyage shall be
honored as only The John Zone can.  Your requests, comments, and phone calls
are welcomed as well.  http://listen.tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg is the link to

of The John Zone.

  Yesterday was Texas Independence Day here in the Lone Star state.
Those who recall my broadcast from March 3 of last year will no doubt
remember just how much I enjoy the annual Texas themed shows.  However,
we will take a break from the Texas tunes to properly commemorate the
late Paul Harvey, who passed away several minutes before last Saturday's
Blart Radio.  Your requests, comments, and lunch money are welcome as
well.  Presumably http://tbrn.andrelouis.com:/tbrn.ogg.m3u is still
the only way to tune in until the transfer of TBRN data file server node
things are complete.  So bring some baked beans, a chicken fried steak,
and your worst attempt at a Texas drawl, and join me from 6 to 10PM EST
on the Beyond Radio Network for what promises to be a good ole time.

  Once again it's that time of the week when The Beyond Radio Network

from the fund raiser that kept both Stephen and myself from hosting an

devoted to Valentine's and Presidents' Day, as well as an explanation as

  Tonight on The John Zone we will feature many a morsel to tantalize
your mental palate and stimulate your oral fibers.  Actually, that
second part sounded a bit weird.  Scratch that then.  Songs about tea,
outakes from various rehearsals, and a few remaining football-related
recordings are three of the planned tangents for this evening.  Those
who are familiar with Alex's remixes of various show intros here on The
Beyond Radio Network, many of which relate to his fascination with
slipping and sliding may also be interested to hear how his Skype
karaoke to a Blackmore's Night tune on last Friday's edition of the
Digital Domain Online Radio Show can be manipulated and warped by yours
truly for his own amusement.  Tonight also marks the four hundred
sixty-seventh anniversary of Catherine Howard's imprisonment in the
Tower of London.  Being the history buff that I am, I feel that this
event must be commemorated as only The John Zone can.  Similarly, the
first legitimate severe weather outbreak of the year will conveniently
be unleashing itself upon North Central Texas throughout the evening.
If conditions permit, perhaps realtime recordings can be made out in a
supercell or two.  Of course dedications, requests, phone calls, and

  Tonight's edition of The John Zone will focus on our country's most
prevalent pastime, professional football.  Since many listeners are not
from the states, there will be plenty of material in support of
traditional football as well.  But with the Super Bowl having been
played two days ago, it is American football which will be most
prominent tonight.
 
  Originally I had intended to focus on some of the more comedic Super
Bowl commercials, but this year's lot was simply atrocious.  Therefore
Bill Cosby, Jerry Clower, Bone Crusher, Tim Wilson, Billy Connolly, Ben
Bernie and His Orchestra, Andy Griffith, the Super Mario Brothers, and

also planning on doing a Saturday morning slot before WDGLFM from 11 to 2
Eastern, at least until I can decide on which time slot to make permanent.
As it stands, that will make for over twelve hours of nonstop live content!
Woohoo and other such noises of adulation.

Hey all

  Tonight's show proves to be one filled with der sausage and der polka!
Yes, the Clowers went to a sausage festival this past weekend, and you can
make
your own jokes about it from 6 to 9 Eastern Standard time tonight at
tbrn.net.  In addition to the beer, I picked up a couple of CD's by some of
the featured
artists, including a master yodeler and The Sauerkrauts!  Of course there
will be random bits scattered about, for sausage and polka can only be
entertaining for so long.  You guys don't want to miss this week's edition
of the John Zone.  It promises to be a good one.
 Satisfaction almost garanteed!

  I'm taking the lazy way out here and just copying a majority of this from
my LiveJournal, with some added in updatifications of course.
 
  For those who don't remember there was an old children's oriented station
here in the states in the mid 1990's called Radio AAHS. It was quite
literally
the precursor to radio Disney. But unlike Disney, there was a real variety
of music and personality on the network. It was probably the most diverse
terrestrial
radio station I've ever come across. But anyhows, in their prime, they
released a ten-track compilation every month in a subscription which
included their
short-lived magazine, and I just happened to track down a few of these discs
last week. So far only one has arrived, but there are several gems on it
which
I shall play. Hopefully at least one more can flop into my mailbox today so
there can be even more randomness.  But if not, I can make do with what I
have.
 
  I owe Radio AAHS for a lot of things. They introduced me to Scatman John.
They played tracks off of the Ren and Stimpy and Animaniacs CD's I didn't
know existed back then, and, perhaps most importantly, they inspired me to
make stupid home recordings of my own ficticious radio show which led to my
interest in webcasting when I growed up.
 
Since this was a kids' oriented station, the format involved many different
contests all over the place. It was very enticing and promoted a lot of
interaction
with its listeners, myself included. I did have enough time to find one very
well-preserved isolation of a certain Clower winning a contest circa October
20, 1995.  But because it was not this Clower, it will not be played
tonight.
 
  To make up for this, there will be a lovely isolatable recording of yours
truly engaging in a mock game show with my cousin (who incidentally
performed the roles of all three contestants), as well as a few songs sung
blue at my church this past Sunday, gazing at my window.  (If anyone even
got that reference, you win a cookie!
 
  I'm sure one day I'll look back and regret playing these little clips from
my days of yor, but for now I have no
problem with archived humiliation. So tune in to
http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg with your media player of choice and laugh at
my shamelessness. You can hear my bizarre ramblings every Tuesday from 6 to
9PM Eastern Daylight Time, 5 to
8PM Central daylight Time, 2 to 5PM Alaska Standard Time, 11AM to 2PM Samoa
Standard Time, and on Wednesdays from 11AM to 2PM New Zealand daylight Time
and noon to 3PM Line Island Time.
 
  Suffice it to say this show will be bloated with content this week.

Hey all
 
  More old recordings abound tonight on The John Zone, including an even
older recording of yours truly, dated roughly to July or August of 1990.  I
also have a recording of me going through a black hole some nine years ago
which is a bit odd to say the least.  Tonight also marks the end of an era
as I will be playing the final episode of Coupling.  Yes, I am sad as well.
But perhaps some random Spike Milligan solo recordings and a celebration of
Brandon H's recent drunkenness can console us all.  So point your musical
program listener-too-er thingy to http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg at 6PM EDT
tonight, and let's do this Tuesday night up right!

Well thanks to Charter and a bad bad bad desktop, The John Zone will be
doing a makeup broadcast, cuz John doesn't want to piece broken archive bits
together.  Since I have a lot going on this week I'm not sure when it will
come.  Chances are though it will be either after the last regularly
scheduled show on Friday night or before Derek's slot Saturday morning.  I
know Sundays are much more wide open, but I've rediscovered the beauty of
Sunday afternoon naps, and I don't think I could give that up for the sake
of a makeup broadcast.  Whennin and iffen I pick a time, I'll post to Talk2.

  Tonight I debut what is perhaps the oldest surviving recording on audio
cassette of yours truly.  Dated October 3, 1992, it's proof that after
fifteen years, I haven't really grown up all that much.
 
  Along with the usual craziness and some upbeat and amusing tracks, this
should be one fun show.  So if you've nothing better to do, tune in with
your media player of choice to http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg.  You know you
wanna.
