KGNU (Canoe) Radio - Home of the Boulder Lout

[bc]

For those looking for entertainment or a learning experience. You can tune in the Boulder Lout, aka Boulder the Damned, with live streaming audio from the website of the radio station KGNU at 2:30 pm mountain daylight time every Wednesday. That's 1430 hours for those who can count above twelve which by necessity makes it the first class taught at academies along with learning their sums. They stop at 24 however. A gnu is a wildebeest and probably the station mascot.

It is a five minute show complete with disclaimer. You can go his website to listen to archived podcasts of previous editorials.

This year is the 30th anniversary of the Boulder Lout's radio editorial. A real pearl of a show if you appreciate editorials in which a live body claims to author it. Anonymous editorials are left to the gutless and not worth reading or listening to.

For those with an Android phone, you can download Tune In radio from the Market. The free app allows you to listen to streaming audio of radio stations all over the world including canoe radio. The app lets you pick your favorite stations as presets and even has an alarm function that you can set to like a minute before a particular program. Then you have time to tune in the show.

Last week's rant by the Lout was against banks and their lack of privacy. This weeks rant was about the nuclear power holocaust going on in Japan and could happen here in the states. Not sure if it was a rant or a prophecy or both. The disclaimer by the Lout this week starts off by him unabashedly saying his opinion is superior to others and then goes on to rail against the tree huggers and others of similar ilk that may differ with him. Those subjects are now open for discussion.

Stay tuned.

Thanks, bc. I didn't know about the alarm on Tune In. I've got it set for Wednesday afternoons so I can hear DC.

All nice but unnecessary; you can just go to the commentary page and read or listen whenever. Complete with disclaimer.....

For one thing, precision timing at KGNU is notional often enough. For another, other stations carry it, but it varies week to week and you'd have to inquire of a local community station. It's recorded Wednesday usually after 10 AM my time and is up for download by noon and on my commentary page at www.darkendeavors.com or on the webzine thing, the www.boulderlout.com

I've been busy since my last post with the lbha conference and everything else.

Just to keep everybody up to date I'll give everybody a brief run down of the last 3 weeks of the adventures of the Boulder Lout. His website defines Lout as: lout / Lout (rhymes with "out")/ noun): an awkward brutish person. Splains everything.

Three weeks ago was just after the Republican presidential campaigners met. DC railed against Mitt Max Headroom Romney and others. Michelle John Wayne Gacy Bachman didn't get a nickname. Hef's marriage breakup was discussed. And of course the Anthony Weiner situation can't go away without comment from the Lout.

Two weeks ago was about racism and how he used to and apparently still does lust for older women of color (black).

This week he discussed how we as a society don't do enough to take care of our veterans mentioning the high suicide rate of returning soldiers as a problem. He also railed against Europe and their basic inability to fight against petty warlords and basically fight their way out of a wet paper bag (my analogy). However he did drop the parts in his disclaimer where he stated his opinion is superior to others and that of tree huggers and pyramid therapists.

See ya next week. Stay tuned.

Interesting . . . bc is trying to do a commentary about DC that seems similar to DC's commentary of the Beastie Boys on the other board.

As with the message board that looks just like the one I designed years earlier, I think it is the sincerest form of flattery.

Could it be Blue Ice Syndrome?

Could bc be the troll?
