2. MESSAGE FROM LAZLO

I am so frustrated with the state of our political present (and future)...but I'll refrain from getting into that here.

Instead let me talk about a brand new page on BlowUpRadio.com.

On April 16th, 2003, BlowUpRadio.com hosted it's first Folk You! show at the Rodeo Ristra. In the months that followed, the show has grown into something very special, consistantly spotlighting some of the best acoustic music NJ has to offer to an ever growing and delighted crowd. The shows have become so popular in fact that the demand for being a part of a Folk You! show as allowed us to be fully booked through May with a long list of talented performers looking to be a part of future shows.

It is with that in mind that I have finally put up a Folk You! page on the website. On this page you will find info on upcoming Folk You! shows, a list of previous performers, as well as pictures from previous performances (courtesy of photographer Naomi Langer).

But wait, there's more...

That's right, go to the new Folk You! webpage and you will also find downloadable MP3s of songs from Folk You! performances. There are two MP3s up there right now for your listening enjoyment.

Jim Testa ~ "Queer Eye" The witty singer/songwriter (and Jersey Beat publisher), recently wrote a humorous song about his favorite TV show, "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy". This song has not yet been recorded and is not available anywhere else.

John Raido ~ "that's all right" An incredible live version of an upbeat rockbilly/rock ditty from his debut CD "see you next Tuesday". If this exclusive recording doesn't get you tapping your toes, then check to make sure they aren't frostbitten from the recent harsh weather.


In addition to the monthly Folk You! shows, BlowUpRadio.com has another show coming up at the Court Tavern on Friday Feb. 20th, and the line-up (see Special Events Schedule above) is stupendous. This show is not to be missed.

Oh, and make sure you check out the Band Profiles section of the site, as new profiles are being put up almost every day.

Peace,
Lazlo
