About me:
I'm Michael and this page is supplemental to my podcast The Yank Sizzler.
The show is initially inspired by what John Peel accomplished in popular music. He was a BBC Radio 1 DJ who broke down all commercial and categorical barriers in music and played what he loved. And because of that, he exposed millions (really, millions) of listeners around the world to an amazing amount of music. Without him, the landscape of popular music wouldn't be the same.
That said, the show isn't indulgently about him. It's about music, all kinds of music. You'll hear punk, jazz, blues, folk, rock, indie, post punk, alternative, electronica, and everything under the sun all together in one big happy family like music should be. The music will be both new and old because a blues song recorded in 1933 is just as exciting as the newest brilliant number from your favorite indie band. There will always be special treats of unreleased material, live cuts, and out of print treasures.
Give it a listen. For most, it will be an introduction to some amazing material.
The podcast aside, I'm a KU grad living in lovely Lawrence, KS. Originally I'm from Jetmore, KS (size = 800 people and shrinking). I enjoy good conversation, food, reading, filmmaking, alcohol and my amazing friends.
Also, I inherently believe in a mixtape-based economy. Money schmuny. Mixtapes are the real gold. And of course it breaks down accordingly. Mixtapes that contain only top forty hits of today (unless ironically humorous) are the equivalent of gutter pennies. However super obscure tapes made of nothing but Japanese release b-sides are the same as trying to use hundred dollar bills to buy things. No one accepts them and no one breaks em.
Mix it up well and you got a twenty-dollar piece of currency.
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6!

Who I'd like to meet:
Music fans who love to hear something different from time to time and of course the people creating the music to be heard today.
