Another year-a KEEPIN’ IT ECLECTIC! Nothin’ like it! Things were really PERC-U-LATIN’! I spoke with CHRIS BALLEW, fired up the website, went on a big ‘ol AMERIQUEST (which I still need to finish retellin’...), I cut a single, celebrated the ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY-a the ZINE, started INTERROGATIN' local musicians, ‘n took it to the airwaves with my SUPER SHOW on RedHawk Radio!

Gee! What am I gonna do NEXT YEAR? Well…  I’M GONNA ROCK IT LIVE! Eyup! It’s goin’ down January 17th at the Northside Bar in Cincinnati, Ohio! It’s 5$ at the door and a 21+ show too, might I add... I’m openin’-’n-MC’ing for SKYLAR TONIGHT ‘n UMBRELLA MAN! Don’t miss it! Hopefully I’ll get sum more gigs too! STAY TUNED!

Oh! I almost forgot! The results’re in for the OFFICIAL CHAINGUN ISLAND FAN NICKNAME! It looks like… Odbal’s idea won. Hm. There ya have it! From now on, I’m callin’ you lot the ECLECT-oids! I guess it has a nice ring to it after all!

Thank you 'n all the ECLECT-oids who've been readin' the ZINE, perusin' the BLOG, 'n tunin' into the SUPER SHOW for one ECLECTIC year, let’s make this next year even MORE ECLECTIC!!!

Hey hey, ladies 'n germs! This is 8-Track TeckHead implorin' YOU yes YOU, to X-ERCIZE yer FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I wanna start callin' all-a-yuz some kinda nickname, like a fan club. I'm split between TWO options! Act fast, 'cuz votin' ends TOMORROW at 2 PM EST! The link is BELOW!

Use your freedom of choice, your freedom of choice!

Man, what a day! I woke up bright-'n-early this FINE Christmas morn' to see my BEE-YOOTIFUL wife, Cassetta, sittin' by our 'lil aluminum Christmas tree with a present in her hands. I said, "G'mornin', hot mama, what's that'chya got?" She looked at me with those eyes-a-her 'n said, "Well... I know how much you like pirate radio, and how you want to take to the airways. I always put the kibosh on it, because of how radio waves aggressively frizz my hair..." I didn't know that!, ahywho, she then said this to me: "...So, I did a lot of thinking and... here, how about this as a compromise?" She gingerly handed me the gift 'n I tore that sucka open! Lo-'n-behold... it was a ham radio. Gee, I guess Cassetta really DIDN'T know aboot the secret college radio show after all! I dunno how! I felt real crummy aboot all this, but then I thought, "It's Christmas, I'LL DO THIS LATER!" I gave my Cassy a huge squeeze 'n a kiss 'n told her I'd get it set up ASAP!

Odbal was a-wakin' 'round this time too. He immediately got all AMPED-UP! He kept goin' on about how the first night-a Hanukkah's fallin' on Christmas day this year! He seemed SUPER STOKED about all-a-that! Later that day, we trucked on over to Virgil's house for a 'lil Christmas get-together; we do that every year. Ya see, since none of us really eat, we just blasted TSO 'n played Super Smash Bros. Melee. Lemme tell ya, Virgil's been gettin' better, he whupped my ass as Mr. Game-'n-Watch too! Not an easy feat since I was rockin' 'ol Captain Falcon!

We got to talkin' aboot the ZINE in-between a match, 'n Virgil brought up a compellin' point: If the CHAINGUN ISLAND ZINE is REALLY here to stay, then what should I call the FANS?! Seems like every band's got a name, Slipknot's got the Maggots, DEVO's got the Spuds, KISS (blegh!) has the KISS Army, so on 'n so forth! I sat there, puzzled, how could I have NOT come up with a nickname by now? 'N then it HIT ME! I blurted out "THE ECLECITC ENTOURAGE!" Virgil nodded, but then Odbal blurted "ECLECT-OIDS!" OOO! That's a good one too! I dunno which to choose! So... I'm lettin' YOU DECIDE!

Cast yer yuletide ballot HERE RIGHT NOW! Votin' ends on December 31st at 2PM EST SHARP!

As DEVO would say, "Use your freedom of choice!"

Merry Christmas 'n Happy Hanukkah... fellas! Keep it ECLECTIC!
