One time when Terri’s dad was visiting us, he discovered that we have digital music stations on our TV. As nothing worth watching is now on any of the dozens of channels we do get, we are listening to channel 415.
Leftover fondue and Toasted Head Chardonnay, my current fave, have left me in a pleasant haze. A dearth of holiday specials has left us to flip channels, and happily, a favorite, The Shop Around the Corner is on Turner Classic Movies.
Not only did I not know Boston had gotten an Air America affiliate, I also didn’t know that when I walked in to the Someday for a cappuccino this morning that I’d walk into a live broadcast! It was packed, so I just got my caffiene fix and didn’t try to fight my way over to see Chuck D et. al.
Here’s the scoop from their website, since I don’t know how long they’ll keep it there:
Morning Sedition BROADCASTS LIVE from the Someday Café in Somerville, Massachusetts. Comedian Jimmy Tingle of “Jimmy Tingle’s Off Broadway Theater” and political satirist Barry Crimmins, two members of Boston’s comedy elite, discuss the history of the Boston comedy scene with hosts Marc Maron and Mark Riley. You can see Jimmy, Barry and Marc at “Jimmy Tingle’s Off Broadway Theater” tonight as part of the Ding Ho Reunion. Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone talks about his fair city and how it’s become one of the most progressive places in the country. Massachusetts Democratic Congressman Barney Frank stops by to chat about the issues. Outgoing DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe gives us a glimpse at the future of the democratic leadership. Musician Ted Leo stops by to play some songs for our special live audience. Ted usually plays with his band the Pharmacists, but today he’s flying solo. Their latest album is called “Shake the Sheets” on Lookout Records. Come by, have a cup of coffee, and see a LIVE Air America Radio broadcast.

How We Work: When was the last time you saw Scott McNealy, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Chuang-tzu on the same list? “We’re interested in the habits, rituals and small (and occasionally big) methods people and teams use to get their work done.”
Every few months it seems like there’s a news story about a new perverse level of advertising: Fox “photoshopping” out MLB ballparks’ stadium ads with their own, actors paid to go to bars and show off their cool digital cameras, etc. So what’s so perverse about average people interspersing endorsements into their daily interactions with friends and acquaintences? They’re unpaid.
We’re watching Charlie Brown right now. All I want is…
