The New KUFO: Cue Tool’s Eulogy…

by Cosmic Charlie

(T)he(y) had a lot to say;
(T)he(y) had a lot of nothing to say,
We’ll miss them.
We’re gonna miss them…

As fans of Portland’s rowdiest rock station know, major shakeups have been happening. KUFO has gutted its on-air staff and brought in “talent” from around the country. I checked it out yesterday, and I’ll get to that in [...]

From the interview…
OMC: What's the most realistic, concrete way that Portland radio could be made better? Then, what's the fantasy way, and why is that [...]

Say The Call Letters Backward

by Cosmic Charlie

I’m going to try to refrain from using foul language, but no promises. I’m writing this in a fit of barely contained rage.
Alpha Broadcasting has recently purchased several local radio stations, including KUFO. KUFO has never been the pinnacle of highbrow music, but it feeds the sweaty masses with knucklehead rock and occasional snips of [...]

A long time ago, in a multiplex far away…

by Cosmic Charlie

Attention space cadets!
Been hearing Darth Vader’s deep breathing every time you answer the phone? Get an image of Luke Skywalker every time someone offers to lend you a hand? Then I’ve got the movie for you:
On July 3rd, KUFO’s Cort and Fatboy are bringing Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back to the big screen for [...]

March of the… Lebowskis?

by Cosmic Charlie

So, got plans this Friday? Wanna hang out with some Caucasians?
Before you have visions of a skinhead revival doing a jackboot-dance on your head, let me clarify. Caucasians, aka White Russians, are the drink of choice of Jeff “the Dude” Lebowski. One part Kahlua, two parts vodka and a splash of half & half. Yum! [...]

Solomon by Proxy

by Cosmic Charlie

Last night’s Blazer game was a hoot. As Tom Peterson says, “Free is a very good price!”
Thanks to KUFO, in exchange for some minor movie trivia I was gifted a pair of tickets. I had a companion come to mind immediately, but she couldn’t go. Something about a school function. C’mon! The kid’s getting [...]

Douchebaggery in the First Degree

by Cosmic Charlie

I’m a bit honked off at my favorite radio station.
Since it came on the air in 1990, I have listened to KUFO 101.1. It’s hard-edged knucklehead rock with a tinge of juvenile humor. I’ve seen the DJs come and go, and am rarely happy when they go. (I’m still holding a grudge against Howard Stern [...]

DJtv’s Weekend Roundup

by djtv

I was surfing the Internet to find some things to do this weekend, and thought it might be fun to share some of them.
I’ve always had an affinity for witches. When I was a kid, I was pretending to be Wonder Woman in my Wonder Woman underoos and tripped on a piece of shag [...]

Radio Waves

by Cosmic Charlie

In the fickle world of radio, change happens at breakneck speed, often without mercy. Yesterday the hatchet of death reached across the country, and heads rolled.

I’ve been listening to KUFO (101.1 FM) since the beginning. As in the very beginning. I was up at midnight when KRCK (?) officially went away, [...]

Mad Cow Season

by Cosmic Charlie

The work week is winding down, and I am grateful. It’s been one of those weeks, where it seems like full moon behavior even though that’s still a week away. Must be the onset of fall.
A friend sent me this link a while back, knowing I’d appreciate the behavior. While the behavior is typical year-round [...]

No Respect…

by Cosmic Charlie

No respect at all.
Nope, this is not a tribute to Rodney Dangerfield. I loved Rodney, therefore I’m borrowing his tag-line to apply to another performer that gets little respect:
Kid Rock.
Okay, okay, now that you’re done laughing, hear me out.
Back in the old millennium, oh say around ‘99, every time Bawitdaba came on the radio it [...]
