DeadJournalist.com HAS MOVED to V3.3 - CLICK HERE to go to the new site!

First, if you are in the Atlanta-metro, check out Avenue D at my old stopping ground, DSC. Go by and dance yourself silly.

Yesterday, I posted on this on the main page:

"An open question - does anyone know the where-abouts of DJ Coyote J? He was last seen (and heard) in the B'ham area. Coyote J is/was one of the first radio DJ's to play artist like the Clash on FM in the US while in San Diego. Later, he was on the air with a syndicated radio show playing indie, dark wave, dance-goth and early dance-punk in the mid- to late-'90's."

The good news, is that I proved MySpace i still good or something, as I found him on here. The bad news is, last week was his last show. I haven't caught up with him yet, but I'm hoping to this week. Maybe I'll get lucky and get him to contribute and maybe do a podcast every once in a while.

I hope to get regular podcasts up in the next few months as well.

In the meantime, Coyote J posted his last playlist, and I wanted to repost it here for everyone to enjoy.

Short weeks always seem to be the worst. What is that all about?

- R&B singer Ruth Brown has died at at 78.
- Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise got married. Holmes is aging well - she looks better now than she did 10 years ago - but what the hell has she been in lately??? And I've never liked Cruise.
- So what if it is a week old. Lily Allen looks like a drunk girl at Panama City Beach here
- It seems that Girl Talk, the overly hyped mash-up DJ, is loosing some of his blogstar status. Good. We still don't get what makes this guy so popular. Hello, Jive Bunny and the Master Mixers did this 16 years ago!
- The Sugacubes reformed for a show Friday.
- Finally, I got a text about the show, but didn't make it to the Jay-Z Atlanta 5:30am show even thought I was up at 4:45am.

as a native north georgian, 96rock has been an institution in atlanta since 1974. granted, i never really listened to the station as classic rock was never really my thing, but at the same time, i was sad to read that beginning tomorrow morning, 96rock is going to, um, what do you call the crappy rock that is out now? thankfully, xm and sirius are the perfect cure for that problem.

is everyone falling to something? now lady sovereign cancels a gig in l.a. due to exhaustion.

You can say a lot of things about K-Fed, but you can't say he didn't have a plan all along. He's holding a sex tape with Britney worth $50mil. He says unless he gets $30mil and the kids, he's selling it. The man is dirty, but really, who didn't see this one coming? ...

The AJC had an decent article about the lack of minorities in country music. The story mainly focused on the lack of black country artists, but completely overlooked the lack of latin artists in the genre. With a couple of exceptions, there hasn't been a a relavent artist of either background since the early 1980's ...

If you read Idolator.com, they completely based fellow Decatur-publication, Paste Magazine. Maybe they (Idolator) should spend less time bashing publications that create original content, and more time actually creating some of their own ...

Hmm, let's see. Tomorrow is electon day in the States, which will make for some enjoyable TV tomorrow night. But mainly, it means NO MORE POLITICAL ADS! Combine the money spent on political ads and pharmaceutical ads and you'd have the GNP of Canada.

If you like Lily Allen, check out this interview:

Speaking of interviews, more should hit this week. If there's someone you'd like to see interviewed, leave us a comment!

It is always great to find a band that makes you close your eyes and sway your head ever-so-slightly when listening to their music. Especially on crisp Fall night. If you haven't already discovered Film School, may I suggest doing so. To kick start it, check out our exclusive interview with the band here

a few things early this morning: i still can't edit my own copy. screaming type-o on the front page (and lead story) which i can't correct until tonight. doh! also, if your browser isn't large enough (pc), the content gets shifted down. hopefully there will be an easy fix for that. i'm learning as i go on style sheets.

i'm not at cmj even thought the rest of the free music-related world is. really, who wouldn't like spending five days in new york this time of year seeing multiple shows every night? if you are there, how are things?
