Not exactly something I'd play on this show, but I still like the band very much, and it's great to have them here for their first East Coast concert in two years! Find out more here. And if you want to know more about these guys, check out some videos:

What did you think of the songs? Liked some of them? Hated some of them? Leave a comment here, or vote in the poll on the right!

And here' the iMix. You may notice some songs on here that I didn't play; I tend to plan these playlists out beforehand, but I decided to make some last minute adjustments. Anyway, hope you enjoy it!



I'd also like to plug a friend of mine's show. Nick Bujalski is starting a show called "Nihilists With Good Intentions," every Sunday morning from 6-8 AM only on WRMC! Be sure to listen in, even though it's way too early! And Jared Pomerance, who DJ'ed last semester for "Mildly Interesting," is now the new DJ of his own show, "Rooster Rock," which airs Thursday nights/Friday morning from 1:30-3 AM -- check that out as well, please! Anyway, take care, and have a good week, and a great Winter Carnival!

12 hours and counting...

...before the first show of the semester! Are you excited? 'Cuz I am!!

(By the way, how was that lunar eclipse tonight, huh? It definitely was something, that's for sure. Did anyone notice the UFO? ;-) )

Update

Good news: Organized Chaos will be back on the air TOMORROW!! That's right, I'll be back tomorrow on WRMC from 12:30-2 PM. Listen in on 91.1 FM in the Champlain valley, and on WRMC's website everywhere else. I've also created a Facebook group for fans, and to help promote the show. You can check it out here! If you're a fan, be sure to join! That's all for now, and I'd be glad to hear from you tomorrow!

YAY!!! I'M BACK!!!! (And at a new, better time!)

So after weeks of not having a show, I'm glad to say that WRMC has renewed Organized Chaos for the spring semester!! And guess what? The show has been moved to Thursdays, from 12:30 to 2 PM EST. Which means that you can be able to listen in without having to stay up ridiculously late! And I will be awake when I DJ and not jumble my words every other second! Very exciting news, folks.

As for when the show will start up again...this I haven't decided. It will either be this Thursday, 2/21, or next Thursday, 2/28, depending on when I get retrained to be a WRMC DJ. And since this is a new semester, there will be two things I will promise you:

1) Less show cancellations. It's in the early afternoon, when I'm not usually working and am more flexible with my schedule, so no longer will "I have too much work" be an excuse. This will definitely be what it was meant to be: a weekly event where you can hear the best experimental rock has to offer.

2) More posts on this blog. This will include music videos, even for bands I won't play on my show at all, and anything else I find interesting (which is quite a bit!).

So, in short: I'm back! And better than ever! And remember, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or hate mail, here's how you can contact me:

E-mail: jhexter@middlebury.edu
Facebook: Right here!
Phone: When the show's on, feel free to call me in the studio! It's x6323 on campus, and (802) 443-6323 everywhere else.

And lest we forget WRMC's official website, the show's official webpage, and WRMC's blog!!!

So! I'm really excited for this new time, and I hope you are too! Take care, and I look forward to hearing from you on the first show of the semester!
