Humboldt Last Week Alternative Radio:
I’m testing an alternative music radio station! The goal is to cram as many songs into one hour as possible with some quick local stories here and there. Do you think this is something you’d enjoy?
Maintaining a radio station like this costs money and takes time. But it’s also seriously fun! I’ll be testing it for at least a month to see if there’s any local interest.
Also fun: There will be moments I’ll be able to handle music requests. You can send those to [email protected].
Also please send me suggestions about programming if you have any.
Please bear with me as I’m still in the process of selecting new and old songs, mastering, and carting them into the system. The rotation is a little tight right now.
There are a number of ways to listen:
iTunes
(also works well with Safari on iPhone)

So, HSU wants to get rid of the Lumberjack mascot? In Long Beach, CSULB is getting rid of their Forty-Niner mascot. It’s pretty much a done deal, just a matter of time, ditto for removing the statue on campus. And then there’s that thing with the statue of McKinley in Arcata. People sure are freaking out about effectual white dudes, now long dead, who got stuff done. A lot of the trees that were cut down back in the day were used to build ships in shipyards right on the Samoa peninsula, thus making the United States a foremost maritime power, so there’s that. The debates which precede these historical blot-outs always seem to follow the same narrative, with proponents firing off the usual Orwellian shut-up bombs (“genocide,” “patriarchy,” “imperialism,” ad nausea). Am I the only one who’s being made cynical by all this? A good deal of my cynicism stems from the fact that most of us wouldn’t be living as comfortably today if it weren’t for these guys. Am I right or wrong? RSVP.
“Orwellian shut-up bombs” is a lovely term that is new to me. If it’s yours- thank you. If it is itself an “Orwellian shut-up bomb”, then it will be difficult to make useful.
Yes we owe our current well being to our ancestors. Just as we owe our current lack of well being to them too. It is best to have some perspective about it rather than using selected parts of the past as a weapon in a power battle either for or against the status quo.
alternative to what. Did i miss something. another splinter of the same tree. or is it all inclusive for a change. Enough with the divisive tribalism. lest we all become canabals. Please stop. Break the spell of pharmaco and mad stream media. and we might learn to love again. jah bless you in the light of the christ.
Hope I’m understanding your comment correctly.
Nothing tribal going on here 🙂 Just music and quick local stories. Something fun and informative.
“Alternative” refers to the type of music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_rock
Ignore the crazies man I love it!
Good man..Thank you. Jah bless true intent.
~of course, i see the word as beginning with a vowel and followed by two consonants, i.e., a negative state of being -for lack of an agreed- upon-value.
just is. . . as we walk between the wor(l)ds.
Where is the lumberjack mascot still used? I think I got the last old style lumberjack car window sticker from the bookstore 17 years ago when they moved to “The Jacks” with that stupid stylized fireman’s axe.
Algorythyms or just bad timing comments aren’t placing where writers intend. My last was to mc thanx again.
