Playlist Date & Time: 3/7/2009 12:00AM - 3:00AM
Program: Blues in the Night with Jamie Dell'Apa
This year's fund drive is themed, "The Pledge Party." Manna from heaven, the perfect theme for my drunk-drive-time slot. (Almost every caller to my show over the last six months has been hammered.) You've proved your hard-to-accomplish "party" skills - the pledging should be easy. Tonight, we'll set records for blood-alcohol content and memberships by combining drinking with dialing.
Drunk dial WWOZ instead of your ex!

Everyone has an alter-ego, I unfortunately latched onto Bullwinkle.

Elevator Operator
This elevator operator lyric has been recycled into so many media including this clip from Roger Rabbit. Oh yeah, with Bullwinkle as my alter ego, you know I am fascinated with the idea of living in Toon Town.

Cledus Harrision
Ace Records
I'm enchanted with this Cledus Harrision song. Musically there is the primal connection we all share but lyrically the "I spent all my rent money and the landlord is evicting me" is equally shared.

The beauty of drunk dialing is it is genderless (althoug the xy chromosome tends to make more spectacular screw ups. Can you believe the guy who drunk dialed his boss' daughter?

No, no, no! Don't drunk dial your ex, dial wwoz and become a member. You won't regret it nor try to pretend you're invisible at the next party.

You've stayed with me through all these drunk dialing links, now you get your reward. The mother lode of drunk dialing audio clips from drunkdial.org. Note that Louisiana is yet again ranked at the bottom of the nation in another national category. Come on folks, we've got the drinking mastered. Dialing isn't that much tougher.

Now in Florida, it is hard for me to get the groove into a saved form. I can't access the archived information, and play it. It shows, but it won't load.
Su Zi,
Took awhile to get back to you after a tough couple weeks. I'm shifting to another web site to host my archives that should be easier to use. Hold tight it might take some time but by revamping this feature I can make it much better than before.
