Strange citations

Talk about meta-posting.

My on/off-again love affair with St. Paul sandwiches has landed me a cameo on wikipedia.org: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Paul_sandwich.

A piece on Alderman Dar Kirner on www.thecommonspace.org is cited in the new book "Hidden Assets: Connecting the Past to the Future of St. Louis." The chapter "Amateur Sports in St. Louis" references a quote from an on-line interview with the late Alderman. It also notes: "Boxing matches can be seen at the St. Charles Family Arena or in someone's backyard." What?

A photo of Aaron Belz by yours truly has been given an unauthorized upload to the www.myspace.com/orthodontist page, which has resulted in the immediate scurrying of ThomasCrone.com's legal staff.


Spin, Saturday

Thinking of going all-LPs/all-'80s this Saturday night @ The Royale.

Come by and a check out the new garden grill.


"The Wire" featured on MayorSlay.com

Well, there's a title line I never expected to type in.

To listen:

I couldn't sound like more of a dope. Why am I allowed near mics?

Incidentally, da Mayor will be out guest on Monday, April 24; Jim Shrewsbury will be appearing a week later. Gettin' political for spring.


Wow

I'm touched. Seriously. By this:

(Well, the thing about 52nd. Not the thing about the Locust Street Scrapper. To heck with that guy!)


KDHX sub duties

Two chances to spin music on KDHX, 88.1 fm, are on the immediate horizon:

Saturday, April 15: Coin-Operated Radio, 6-8 p.m.

Monday, April 17: Rocket 88, 6-8 a.m.

I'm fairly certain that I can stay up long enough on Saturday to not fall asleep during Coin-Op, but I'm rather dubious that any alarm clock will rouse me next Monday. That will surely be an interesting experiment in early-morning awareness.


New clips, April

Better late than never!

Interview with KDHX all-star deejay Doug Morgan in the current of Playback St. Louis.

A review of the newest album by Magnolia Summer in the April issue of Sauce Magazine.

Upcoming Post bar reviews, including: the Big Muddy Pub, the Loft and, er, Saddle Ridge.

In this month's St. Louis Magazine, a longish feature on STL-related movies.

And, of course, plenty of blog postings at 52nd City, plus a piece on the Mansion Motel in the new print mag.

Think that's it. Yeah, that's it.
