Ani's Work...

I've been a huge Ani Difranco fan for YEARS. I was so happy to read that she has now become incredibly active in a very poor part of the world.

but they are fine...I disagree with her mind - the rest of her is all she will be remembered for anyways so let's stop caring what a beauty queen thinks.

Moving to Des Moines

Here is a vidcast that I did for my move to Des Moines for KXNO.com 

American Idol Is Officially Girly

American Idol is stupid.  I will admit that off the top.  However, I'm a huge music fan and since Idol has produced a few acts that have become good - see Underwood, or successful - see Hudson:  I watch from time to time.  

Now, my biggest problem with Idol is the fact that these kids are considered "artists" or at least Kara - the hot but strangely deranged judge - told them to they had to be to win.  Wrong.  All they have to be is male.  No guy in the there right F'ing mind will pick up the phone and vote for another guy who sings.  That would be ridiculous.  If another guy can sing - you just acknowledge and move on.  You don't take action.  Now, if a hot girl can sing - that's another story but even then - if she isn't answering the number you are calling, why the heck would you waste your time?  You know who votes on Idol now - my 9 year old sister Maggie and her friends.  Thus, you get 2 dudes at the end of Idol and the one girl who will actually have a career - Alison goes home (pic left).  In the beginning, lots of people were watching Idol.  Thus you had a lot girls winning cause they were the best and the teeny boppers couldn't vote for their 9 grade crushes.  Now, that's all that's left.  Girls voting for the cute guy or in this cause - the gay cute one.  

Ok, I know I just wrote a blog piece on American freaking Idol, but I had to get that out.  That Adam dude is a freak and can't sing anything except a Broadway play.  The fact that he is going to win has guaranteed another Ruben Studdard.  Enjoy those sales Simon.

FaceBook Fun

So Face Book is an interesting place where people can follow the lives of others that you casually know. This picture comes from the facebook page of former Husker volleyball player Dani Mancuso. Are you serious! :)

I don't mean to make fun of whatever religious place she is about to go into - but come on,....that's funny 

It's Matt and Miller on KXNO Des Moines

After 3 weeks of rumors and questions, today Ken Miller and I made it official.  We have teamed up to form the "Matt and Miller Show" every weekday afternoon from 4 to 7 pm  on KXNO in Des Moines.  Some quick things:   

1.  Yes, I'm very excited about the new opportunity and it should be really interesting to get to know Ken along the way.  Ken is very knowledgeable and I think we play off each other well.  We don't know each other well so it's going to be fun to start fresh. 

2.  Everything happens for a reason and stepping into a show that had a talented previous co-host will be challenging but I'm my own man.  I'm not concerned about being type-casted.   I think people will learn quickly that I have my own thoughts.

3.  Brian, The Producer of the Big Show, did not come with me from Omaha.  There wasn't a spot for him on the new show.  While i hope to work with Brian again someday, the timing was right for that to happen. 

4.  I can't wait to get back on the air.  It's been 30 days since my last show...I'll be rusty but I'm ready to go.  

I know some of you have been pre-judging me and saying I'm going to be like this or like that.  I'm gonna ask that you give the show a chance before you make up your mind.  If after a couple of weeks, you don't like the show - change the station and go somewhere else for your sports information.  However, please have an open mind tomorrow when the show gets off the ground.  It's going to be a little shaky at first because you have 2 guys who don't know each other very well.  It will be an adjustment for everyone.  We will be much better in 1 month from now than tomorrow. 

Quickly, I just want to say something about how I ended up here in Des Moines.  I did not want to leave Omaha but I feel very blessed to get a job in the PM drive slot so fast after my time in Omaha ended.  However, for those of you who think my show on Big Sports 590 failed in Omaha to draw an audience - the latest ratings book came out and The Big Show was 3rd in our key demo (which is Men 25-54).  Now, Z-92 was 1 and 1620 was No. 2 but having a Top 3 show in your core demo does not get you fired in radio.  The decision to end the show had nothing to do with the success of the show or about my abilities....but rather Journal's desire to stop paying me.  I can only control what comes out of the speakers and the product- not the sales on the station.  Journal Broadcast Group in Omaha is in real trouble money-wise because they can not sell their product any longer.  

So, with that, I hope you will tune on 1460 Am in Des Moines or KXNO.com tomorrow at 4 pm as my 4th job in radio starts anew.  "The Matt and Miller Show" will debut and I hope you can be around in a few years to say "I remember their first show".  

Lastly, Bluejay fans - I've entered into serious talks to take a certain Jays website to the next level with information, interviews, post game reaction podcasts, and premium message boards.  It's about time the Jays got a website that serves their needs completely with consistent information.  Let's be honest - the Omaha World Herald doesn't do enough.  Big Sports 590 is going to pathetically try and serve Jays' fans but will fail with the pre/post games shows next year without an afternoon show.  This website should be launching in the next month so be on the look out - I think you will really like it.
