It sounds like it should be easy to do your own SwaG! disk jockey program. Just get the music and equipment together, mix vigorously, and broadcast the results until the inevitable FCC goon squad bursts through your door.
But what will it be missing? That’s right: the Guano. Mr. Bat Guano puts a considerable spin on what would be your humdrum run-of-the-mill milquetoast “eclectic” music program. If you were to try to match his “flavor,” you would find it a big pain in the ass. You could even die in the attempt.
In the SwaG! of Nov. 11, 2009, it is clear that Mr. Guano has pent-up disk jockey desires. He had been ill, and did not do SwaG! the previous week, fearing that he had the Swine Flu. He spent this time of illness drinking green syrups and popping red pills -- all perfectly legal and safe when used as directed. But this gives the program a touch more delirium than usual. Ethiopian funk jazz, anyone?
“You think you like it, but it’s just baloney. And I’ve never met someone so stupid and phony.” Joe Pop-O-Pie’s words in “World-O-Morons,” during the next SwaG!, was dedicated to the people of Grand Rapids, Mich., who showed the world just how much they loved Sarah Palin on the Nightly News, which Bat Guano saw before heading to WIDR on this night of Nov. 18, 2009. Much of Mr. Guano’s state is not that goddamn stupid, he pointed out on-air.
“Lousy Puritans, and their lousy ways.” Bat Guano brings you the magic of Thanksgiving Day Eve, Nov. 25, 2009.
