03.05.06 (Not Quite) Under The Covers Podcast

(Not Quite) Under The Covers Podcast!

Yes, tonight's show consists of NO COVER SONGS! GASP! Yeah, I was shocked too. I mean, I just woke up and there was this show prepared and I was like, "hey, where are all the covers?" and the Man said, "SHUT UP OR YOU'LL GO BACK IN THE BOX!" I don't like the box. It's dark in there.

So there's a show not only full of non-covers from indy and mainstream artists who RULE but there's also a CONTEST!

Contest? Oh yes.

How would you like to win lunch for two to Jersey Mike's at 927 West Broad Street or one of two $10 gift certificates to Alternatives at 3320 West Cary Street?

Gimmie a haiku. But not just any haiku, no, we have ourselves a theme.

Tessie Brunet of Deadboy And The Elephantmen is quite attractive. So sayeth the Jason. So sayeth you in a haiku! Yes, give me a wonderful poem in the 5/7/5 syllable format that some dead Japanese guy made famous many years ago (sometime in the '60s I think). Or, if you would rather comment on our semi-attractive host, you can do that! Yes, the same kinda format for a haiku about the one and only Jason Sensation! Need proof of the attractiveness of our topics?


Tessie Burnet is the lady on the left, of course.
That other guy is Dax Riggs. He has nothing to do with our contest.



Jason is sexy.


FIRST PLACE: Lunch for TWO at Jersey Mike's. Each lunch will consist of a sandwich, chips and a drink. Neat!
SECOND and THIRD PLACE: $10 gift certificate for Alternatives Fair Trade Gifts and More

All entries are due at wvcwutc@gmail.com by MIDNIGHT Tuesday, March 7th. (Or is it Wednesday, March 8th? Ah well, the midnight between the two.) Winners will be chosen by Jason and contacted by Thursday when pickup of prizes will be worked out. By entering you are giving me permission to post anything you send me to the WVCW Under The Covers blog. Yes, I get to share with the world. Any opinions stated by the host of UTC, the contestants of this uh... contest, and other people are not shared by WVCW, VCU or anyone else. They're unique.

2.19.06 Under The Covers Show

WVCW - VCU's Independent Student Radio Station

Hmmm.... I'm trying to think of something smart and funny to say and all that comes to mind is that my wallet is brown. Which isn't very amusing or insightful. So I'll avoid the witty banter this evening and just let you know that you can now subscribe to the podcast of not only Under The Covers but ALL of WVCW's great shows (great because not only is it your music but it is also your station) through the WVCW Blog! How cool is that!

You can download individual shows through the site or drop this handy-dandy little RSS feed in your favorite podcast grabber and download the fancy new shows as they're posted:

https://blog.vcu.edu/wvcw/index.xml

How cool is that? Very, if you ask me. And even if you don't ask me, I'll tell you the same.

So check out Under The Covers and Straight BS, both available now on the site, and be sure to keep your eyes open for all of WVCW's sweet specialty programming. How sweet it is.
