Welcome

Hey Everyone,

Welcome to Postcard From Hell. This blog is going to be the future home of my Internet radio show and will also serve as a rant space for top 5/10 lists, band profiles, news and history. If anyone is wondering where the name Postcard From Hell comes from let me tell you. In the classic Uncle Tupelo song "Postcard" the following lines are sung:

"Can't find the phone, can't hear to listen
Can't take along what we're missing
Just as well to write this Postcard from Hell
And the bar clock says three a.m.
Fallout shelter sign above the door
In other words, don't come here anymore"

On my upcoming radio show, which will more than likely go under the same name, I am going to play a variety of music from all genres without one in particular being the focus. This isn't going to be punk rock hour or any alt-country hootnany. The idea is to play music under the header of cool music and that's all that should matter. As the saying goes, "Good music is good music and that's all that matters"

I myself am a student of music history and culture which will worm it's way into my radio show. Inbetween playing some awesome tunes I'll be sharing little tidbits of information about meanings of songs, associated bands, myths and other assorted stuff that makes all of your favorite songs a little bit cooler.

I can't tell you exactly what I will play, because that list is simply too long. But allow me to give you some sembalance of the kind of music I like and will speak about.
