Whooo Looky Here...
Look who's back...And there's nothing in the world that I'll never ever lack...;)
***Well, with ESPN landing Monday Night Football, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Al Michaels is dumped....How about 'Chris Berman' paired up with Madden...How's that one for a "sleeper" call?
I've been a fan of listening to "The Boomer" on Tuesday Night Baseball games on ESPN over the past few years, especially, his West Coast broadcasts with Rick Sutcliffe of late. "The Boomer" is getting better and better each year with his play-by-play. From this viewer's standpoint, I think he's ready and would be honored to work with Madden.
So, here's a note to Mark Shapiro, who is the SVP of Programming at ESPN. How about moving the "Boomer" from the studio to the big game on Monday Night?...Bring a top-flight broadcast back, and maybe I'll bring my view-time on Monday Nights in the Fall back! But please...Get rid of Al Michaels...He brings nothing to our Monday Nights.
***To my fellow WXYC DJs, where are you at in "Tuba City"? Check this bad boy out!
Thank you Josh Spear at "UrbanSpy" for the link to this wonderful contraption reported by Peter Kirn at "CreateDigitalMusic.com"
Supposedly, Kirn got the lead from engadget.com and from the cigar smoke that Numark leaked from showing off an early prototype at the Musikmesse show in Frankfurt.
Apparently, Numark is a long way from bringing this to a reality...Pitch control is there, but supposedly it's "limited." Yet, I'm bouncing on this one. This is my goal-prize for 2007.
By the way, when the hell are we getting an iPod Playlist show together....West End, Fred...West End...
***Alright, sports-fans and journalism junkies, I don't know what to think with this one...Check out this call-to-action from the Chicago Tribune.
Considering Mitch Albom is perhaps one of the greatest sportswriters of all-time and the fact that he's done an incredible job of penning a couple of books outside of sports that have sold "just a few copies", I'm keeping my eye on what's going to happen at the Detroit Free Press with this one. If you're the chief editor, what do you do?...
I better ask Paul Jones 'What do you do with this one?' Should you excuse it as a rookie mistake, or do you can him for passing the buck on journalisitc integrity. Considering Albom's stature, this is really "touchy."
My personal wish is that we give Albom the benefit of the doubt, and hand him a severe suspension...Call it a draw...But first, they better find out how deep this goes.
*** Across the pond...
Check this one out...Jim Downing from "Smart Mobs" gives us the lead on Wi-Fi in London. According, to ZDNet, London is going to get the "Technology Mile", a mile stretch within the capital of wireless access.
Supposedly, the service is going to connect eight wireless nodes to form a interconnected zone for free wireless, and it should support up to 50 users at a time...Forget the strawberries and cream...Just think you can look up that Stax info with your next Sunday Brunch Soul listening session...This is what I'm talking about.
Rumblin', Bumblin', Stumblin'....
