(Today's word will be in red and bold.)
Well, I've been sick for the past three days, and cancelled the KUPL Listener Blog word for Tuesday. It's now Thursday and time for today's word.
Since I've been out from work, and writing blog posts, today's word will be back, as in "I'm back everyone!"

Blog Post Cancelled For Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Just a short post to apologize to everyone; there is no KUPL Listener Blog word to Tuesday, June 26, 2012.
I was ill all day Monday, and from what I understand, Earthquake Jake also went home sick. Not sure if Jake will be back Tuesday or not; and since he's the one to enter the word, (when there is one), I decided to cancel Tuesday's word.
Again, I do apologize to everyone looking for the word of the day.

Summer Is Finally Here!!!
(Today's word will be in red, and bold.)
SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE!!!
Whether it's sunny, or cloudy; dry, or rainy, there's no denying summer is officially here for 2012. At least that's what the calendar says.
With the arrival of summer came the departure of Earthquake Jake from KUPL. No need to panic however; Jake just took a few vacation days until next week.
Since Jake is out, I wondered how I
was going to have a word for today, since Jake is the one who enters it
in for listeners to get their KUPL Nation points. No worries though;
while Jake is out, Sputnik is back and filling in; yay!
If Jake is going to be gone, it's sure nice to know that Sputnik is there to fill in!

MuchMore Country @ the Bing Lounge-6-14-12
(Today's word will be in red, and bold.)
KUPL's main focus on music in the Bing Lounge for June features local bands from the region.
This is the first time local musicians have been featured exclusively in the lounge, not just doing a couple numbers before a national act takes the stage.
KUPL's first "Locals Only", live performance featured MuchMore Country on June 14, 2012.
MuchMore Country had been a staple on Portland's country music scene for a few years, until splitting up for a time. Recently, lead singer, Chris MuchMore, regrouped the band with former members, drummer, Matty Botton and Jered Widman on acoustic guitar. The group is now rounded out with new members, lead guitarist, James Nikolas, and bassist, Eric Phillips.
Judging from their performance in the Bing Lounge, it's safe to say that MuchMore Country has still got it. They're as polished and professional as they've always been. You'd never guess that there had been a few years down time for the band.
MuchMore Country does a mix of original music and covers of other artist's tunes. In the Bing one of their best original songs was written by Chris about 8 years ago for a woman in his life.
When it comes to cover songs, one of the band's favorites is Blake Shelton's "The More I Drink".
It was great hearing MuchMore Country in the intimate setting of the Bing Lounge. It's even more fun seeing them perform at various venues, like Bushwhackers, and Wranglers.
If you haven't had a chance to see MuchMore Country live, be sure to visit their website at www.muchmorecountry.com, and find a show to see. These guys are well worth it!

Road Trip In A Nutshell
(Today's word will be in red, and bold.)
My last post was a short one letting everyone know I was leaving on a road trip. Since returning, I haven't really had a chance to write about my fun adventure; I will get to it though, that's a promise!
For now, I'll put it out here in a nutshell:
856 miles, round-trip
42 gallons of gasoline
36 hours from leaving home, to returning
2 hour show at the casino in Idaho
15 minute meet and greet
Cost: TOTALLY WORTH IT!
