Sound of Confusion and Year-Ending Mayhem!

Back for the winter session, racking up threats from call-ins right and left. An initial Harold Ramis bashing with Caddyshack's Danny Noonan, Michael O'Keefe, gives way to a heads up on the upcoming Jonathan Lipnicki directed flick The Circumsizor. And DJ Jammin' Jake calls in to tell us about his sad state of affairs.

"Desire, being the root of suffering, you call me Rimpoche right now."
- Michael O'Keefe

Sound of Confusion and the End-of-the-Year Holiday Extravaganza 12/16/08

I was unable to play all of my favorite records from the year due to receiving the following call-ins: DJ Jammin' Jake on prank call patrol, former Anthrax drummer/singer Joey Belladonna reminiscing about his krell war stories and finally Benny Byrd, a 43 year old pedophile that talks like an 8-year old. These call-ins along with the setlist and my favorite records pointlessly placed in numerical order below.

Sound of Confusion and DJ Jammin' Jake and the Sound of Snoozin' 12/01/08

Imagine this scenario: a no talent guy named Jake shows up to do his DJ training, proceeds to play awful music, host a segment called "Hottie or Nottie" and then gets picked up by some major radio station on-air. ONLY IN AMERICA DOES SUCH INSANITY HAPPEN!
