The Hard Rock Lunch Box

This week on the BOX...  DJ is all fired up about... something? He talks about the importance of a quality "product"; from music to videos to merch to CD art.  He explains the story behind the artwork on The Reality Crush and how accidentally iconic the "girl" from The Razorblade Diaries has become.  He talks about Friday night's EP release show, what his anxiety sounded like at the Sold-Out Craving Strange Release show last year, what constitutes a good reason to do a cover and what he, and Donald Glover, have to say about listening to and/or wearing your own stuff.  It's a lot to take in, so pack a lunch!

This ain't your mom's lunchbox.

Music from Jackknife Stiletto, All New Episode, Sam Pollet, Small Town Titans, Pralaya, Times Like These and MORE!

This week on the BOX...  DJ is sick ...sorta. He braves the "right-side-of-his-face-only" cold and tells everyone what's poppin!  Despite not talking politics, he manages to "talk politics" specifically about what fake news actually means and where it actually comes from.  He gives you a glimpse of his upcoming article in Total Order Magazine, talks about the lessons in respect some bands really ought to learn, hints at his current displeasure with bands and their bad behavior being rewarded and shares some insider REVEL 9 news.  All in all, a solid B- show :)

This ain't your mom's lunchbox.

Music from Craving Strange, Last Turn off Broadway, REVEL 9, Stick To Your Guns, Finch and MORE!

This week on the BOX...  DJ is IN... Despite Snowmageddon 2018 (Part 4).  He talks about losing a pound, how to watch "news", Artie's Bar and Grill and how he can't remember where R9 is playing this weekend.  #Frankleberry!  He doesn't understand why Glen Gamboa (at Newsday) is doing such a disservice to LI music, why the Great South Bay Music Festival is an embarrassment and what it means to create art, and not just be the flavor of the week.

This week on the BOX...  DJ is in no mood.  He talks about bullsh*t going on in the local scene around him, his brand new coverband-cover-band idea (#theneworiginals) and what giant pieces-of-sh*t "people" he had the good fortune of running into, or rather being run into by, at the A Day To Remember show.  (They were awesome, btdubs!) #bitchezfalldownhardandgosplat

This week on the BOX...  DJ get nostalgic and talks old school bands he's been in and then Jimmy G. (Craving Strange and Jimmy's Blue Notebook) shows up, and that's kinda the whole rest of the show!

The boys talk music biz, the "scene", movies and pretty much everything else!

This week on the BOX...  DJ is fat.  He talks about being fat, how he got fat and how he manages to stay fat despite doing a really good job of not wanting to be fat.  He has technical difficulties (again) so there's only like 40 minutes of the box, but whatever...  You missed him bitching about people that come to R9 shows just to hang outside during the performance, bands that GIVE "support" only after they GET "support" and why local shows can just go fuck themselves for a little while... right along with the people at them.  #goodtimes.

This week on the BOX...  DJ still has no answer as to what's poppin!  He talks about being "nibby", how a quincenera almost landed him in jail, why bob is still pissing him off, Jimmy G's new record going "aluminum" and how he manged to graduate at the top of his class all while being relatively "high" and getting kicked out of, not one, but TWO, classes.  #oooops.

This week on the BOX...  DJ has an even bigger buttload of NEW MUSIC.  He talks about what "supporting the scene" actually looks like, how annoying inaccuracies and hypocrites can be and what it looks like to be called out for being both.
