Well, the first episode of Ducksnorts radio has been successful beyond my expectations. Thanks to all for checking it out and for the great feedback.
I’m pleased to report that I’ll be putting together the second episode this weekend. It’ll again be around 15-20 minutes long. Here is the rough agenda (subject to change):
- Intro/welcome
- Homestand recap
- Road trip preview (possibly with special guest arguing partner)
- Nevin/Park deal update
- Nady update
- Farm report (time permitting)
I’ll still be working out some of the technical stuff. I’ve got about 5 or 6 musical bits scheduled. Megadeth, Green Day, Jason Falkner for sure. Possibly some Miles Davis if I can find a good guitar transcription.
Open to ideas for the others. Skynyrd? Sure thing. Bowie? Not a problem. Modest Mouse? Interpol? Possibly, never tried. John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps”? Um, probably not. Paganini? Very funny.

- Burroughs leads Beavers to win (OregonLive). Sean Burroughs had four hits Tuesday night, Josh Barfield had three.
- Eaton headed to Minors (Padres.com). First rehab start was for the Storm at Lancaster Wednesday night. He threw 42 pitches over three scoreless innings (NC Times). Next start Monday for Portland.
- Speaking of Eaton, Transaction Guy is a little bent at his being returned to the DL. Personally I can think of better things to get upset about, like, I dunno…
- Rogers Roundly Booed (Baseball Musings). Kenny “Stink Eye for the Camera Guy” Rogers pitches at Fenway and gets shelled. I don’t wish him any more difficulty than he deserves. But he deserves a lot; I hope we’ve all seen the last of Rogers’ effective big league starts. And I hope none of us ever has to put up with his kind of garbage in our work environment. What a pathetic man.
- Part II and Part III of Peter Handrinos’ interview with Ted Giannoulas (aka SD Chicken). I love the bit about Darrell Evans.
That’s all for now. Keep those suggestions for the radio show coming!
Skynyrd bores the hell out of me. Bowie’s good stuff is amazing, but his bad stuff is horrifyingly bad. Modest Mouse annoys the hell out of me. I have no idea what the big whoop about Coldplay is, when people could be listening to Interpol, who are a million times better, instead.
And Geoff, you can never go wrong with “Giant Steps,” my personal fave from ‘Trane.
May I suggest Charlie Parker, The Blasters, Laurel Aitken, or early Beat Farmers?
Yeah, I just happen to know a lot of Skynyrd and Bowie. Plus everyone always asks for “Freebird.” Coldplay? Most overrated band since Oasis.
“Giant Steps” is great, but you need some serious chops to play it. Charlie Parker would be cool. I have a great CD of Joe Pass doing solo guitar interpretations of his stuff. Not that I can play Pass but it’s a nice idea.
I’ll dig around, see what I can learn in a couple days.
I guess I shouldn’t ask for “Wonderwall” then. How about some acoustic Radiohead? You could dedicate “High and Dry” to the NL West.
Radiohead. That I could probably swing. Good call…
Play Freebird!!!111!!one!!1!!
do you know any Napalm Death riffs? =P
