SOUNDTRACK: 89.5 WSOU.
This station is one that I used to listen to quite often back at my old house. It comes from Seton Hall University and it is an excellent resource for heavy metal. I haven’t tuned them in in about five years, and I was delighted to hear that they are still around and still rocking.
The set that I listened to the other day was even heavier than I expected. In particular, they played a thrash song called “Caffeine.” The chorus was something like, “Caffeine, caffeine, caffeine in my coffee.” It then slowed down as the buzz wore off, but then took off again. It was funny and thrashing and brought me back to my high school days. If anyone knows who it might have been, let me know.
For the longest time I never knew why the station was called Pirate Radio. I thought it was some attempt to sound bad-ass, like they were illegal. Then, I realized that Seton Hall’s mascot is a Pirate. Well, there’s that cleared up.

Sarah got this for me for Christmas back in 2006. Somehow, it made its way out off the basement book shelf, and we enjoyed looking through it again.
This book, which you can’t tell from the title, but which you can from the cover, is a collection of products that Wile E Coyote has looked for or ordered in his pursuit of the Road Runner.
If you’re a fan of old Looney Tunes cartoons you’ll appreciate the humor of being able to order Do-It-Yourself Tornado (only $65.95) or Foot Springs (on closeout for $5.95) or perennial favorite the Fake Hole ($5.99). (more…)
