Hey Everyone,

First off, for the last few weeks I have been experiencing some problems with my e-mail service, register.com.

E-mails, both incoming and outgoing, are not always getting to me or the intended receipients. So if you sent me and e-mail and have not heard back from me, please forward the e-mail to LazlosDen@hotmail.com. Please include the original e-mail, with the subject & date time sent, so that I can forward that info to register.com in hopes of finally resolving this ongoing problem.

Needless to say, I do not recommend register.com.

Moving on...

This Friday (July 3rd) BlowUpRadio.com is very proud to present Jonathan Andrew's EP release party at the Goldhawk in Hoboken. This is going to be an amazing night, with Jonathan's former Souls' Release bandmates, Joshua Van Ness and Nick Ferriero, also on the bill.

It will also be a night to say goodbye to the Goldhawk, a venue that was once home to BlowUpRadio.com's Folk You! series, as they will be closing forever on Saturday July 11th.

So avoid the shore traffic this Friday and head north to The Goldhawk in Hoboken for what is sure to be a memorable evening of music.

By the way, if you're looking for a sneak peak of Jonathan Andrew's EP, "arrivals & departures", you can download "here's to the present" for free at www.BlowUpRadio.com or www.LazlosDen.com. You can also hear an interview & in-studio performance by Jonathan Andrew in the Interview Archive.

Pissed Off!

Independence Day is Saturday here in America, a day where we celebrate our freedom. Freedom is a wonderful thing.

It allowed me to call our previous president Dipshit W, without fear of being arrested or killed for calling him that.

It also allows us to voice our objections to things the government are doing. Let's not forget how lucky we are to have these freedoms.

Iran may no longer be in the headlines, but there are still arrests, beatings, suppression, and other attrocities going on over there, as people continue to voice their dissent of what they feel was an unjust election.

We may not be able to help them directly, but we need to remember that these things are still happening over there, and try to keep the Iranians plight in the news. For only under the world's watchful eye, can the Iranians have a chance at the freedoms we cherish so much.

So when you're drinking a beer, cooking a burger, or watching fireworks on the 4th of July, think of those who do not have these freedoms.

That's all for this week folks.

Peace,
