The Name Game

Rocket, Pants, all DJ brethren -- we are not alone!


There's some strong competition out there. Clarity of message, non-confusing speakers and/or tunes, wicked graphics, all of primary importance (not to mention proper promotion codes).

A reminder to stay on your toes, DJs, on your toes.
A message from Schwa.

Hi Liner Notes (it's 'ok' if you don't want to reveal your identity).

In the details to the right of all YouTube vids (when you're watching them), there are fields with "URL" and "Embed". Copy the entire chunk in "Embed".

Now, on the blogpost you're working on, you'll see that there are tabs on the right side, one is "Compose" (that's the mode you're probably in) and the other is "Edit HTML". Click "Edit HTML" and paste in the "Embed" string where you want it (I usually set it apart by one "Return" from text above and below).

Publish and enjoy. (I've run into some "unable to publish" snafus a couple of times. Solved by cutting out the "Embed" string, retrieving a "fresh" one from YouTube and repasting it in the HTML. Not sure why that works, but it does.)

An Open Letter to Lighthouse Catholic CD of the Month Club:

I, too, represent a CD of the month club. We were most impressed with your promo and feel our groups have much in common. Needless to say, we are all looking for looking for clearer speakers, though we prefer ours a bit less Catholic and with a little more base. Alas.

I understand that Lighthouse Catholic Media’s CD-of-the-Month-Club is an evangelization and apologetic Catholic CD club. I’m not sure what that means, but I do enjoy the odd hymn and, goodness, who doesn’t love gospel music? As such, we are happy to extend an invitation to have one of the great Catholic speakers of our time join our Club. Please see our blog for more details. Our preference would be Dr. Scott Hahn – we feel he would fit best as we already have many PhDers in our club.

Look forward to hearing from you,
DJ Rocket.

Yo DJs!

I think we should look a little closer into this Lighthouse Clear Catholic Speakers thing.

Seminarian Matthew, an affiliate of the Club, apparently gets a slice of the pie for each person he signs up. (He's got his own promotion code!) Details:

But read on, fellow DJs.
DJ Jazzy Jesus gets donations to his blog by PayPal! ... enough for him to afford custom-made cassocks (the first in his diocese!) Sounds like someone's spending too much time gathering earthly goods...

Heck, I spend a lot of time blogging, too, but no one's donated yet. Rocket, can you write rockin' (and alms-generating) prayers in addition to Open Letters? Methinks we could use some financial stimulation to power on our musical creation...
