Turn My Headphones Up - October 2013



I was pretty pleased with this month's playlist. I've been getting better at having the music stuff sorted out in advance and I think it makes a difference. Maybe only a slight difference, but a difference none the less. Now, I just have to concentrate more on what I'm actually going to say about the music. I've mentioned a few times that it feels strange in the station all by myself and talking to no on in particular, while trying to sound like I'm talking to everyone in particular. This month, I had some fairly detailed notes...that I forgot to print out. So, I was reading them from my laptop screen. And -- as you'll be able to hear -- it got kinda messy.

As for the Antilopen Gang interview, that's not yet complete, but I did a short teaser at the beginning of the show. The "outtakes" (aka the stuff we recorded right after the concert) are quite amusing, but I think a lot of it I'd treat as "off the record". It's either embarrassing for me (being loud and super drunk and inviting everyone to brunch) or not quite the stuff that I or the group would want to air. Overall, it has less to do with the actual content and more to do with the level of inebriation. So, we're still working on it...because we want it done right. And by "we" I, of course, mean me and Frosty (who is the person responsible for the bulk of the work involved with putting the segment together).

Still, I'll put up the show sometime this week, so you can hear it, if you missed it. Follow the links to find out more information about the artists or download their free/name-your-own-price albums. It can also help you recreate the experience of the radio show without having to actually listen to me.

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday.  Mr. S: Ok. (Ac

The One Who Got Away (Part 5)

Pro tip: Don't estimate the amount of time it will take to review your citizenship application based on the amount of time it took to get the results of your citizenship test. So far, this has been the area of the German-side of the process that ran a little closer to my bureaucratic expectations, namely, if an official expresses a length of time -- e.g. 3-6 months -- things will start moving closer to the six month mark than the three month mark. Getting down to the wire, I was (and still am) slightly concerned that this would drag on and I would have to renew my U.S. passport first, since it's getting kinda close to the point where it's only valid for six months. This would have cost me 1.) more money 2.) plus a trip to a consulate that actually does shit for U.S. citizens 3.) money and time off work for a trip to Bremen, Berlin, or Frankfurt. As luck would have it, I finally received notification that the Germans are letting me in! The full term is that they are
