So I heard through the family grapevine this weekend that my brother Michael is now DJing on The Blaze 1330 AM, which back in my day was on 1260 AM... but we all listened to it online then too.


Well, since Michael's on the air early Monday mornings from midnight to 2 a.m. and I have Mondays off of work, I listened overnight and got to hear Michael at work. My favorite moment was when he asked for requests specifically so that he could bump MGMT off the playlist... "unless you're going to request MGMT, in which case — whatever dude."

I only really know of one MGMT song, "Kids," and I didn't hear that for the rest of the show, so hopefully Michael got someone to request something other than the Spice Girls, which I always used to ask for whenever Sam was DJing on The Blaze back when we were in college. (As I recall, one time he actually found a random remix of "Spice Up Your Life" and played it on the air. I was impressed, to say the least.)


Anyway, all you insomniacs out there who can't sleep on a Sunday night / Monday morning should listen in and/or heckle Michael on the request line at 480-965-1260 — "a remnant of the old frequency," as I think Michael put it last night.
