Welcome to Diggin the New's house while it's not live on CHIRP.

JimK will be posting from time to time here, especially when he has a week away from CHIRP for vacation or something, as a way to keep in touch with y'all.

Please!   Use the Request/Suggestions/Love/Hate tab to contribute to the show!  This site has been up for over 2 yrs, and we're just figuring out how to use it to make DTN more collaborative & grow the audience.  Your input is super appreciated.

DTN.09.26.2014 goes live at midnight CST, which gives you about 20 hours to send us some killer music that we don't know about, and/or to tell us which lame sh!t you could do without.

We'll be talking to ya.

Ok, so I've had this website going for a little while, and nobody has come to visit as far as I can tell.  Perhaps a bit of blogging will help.  My first shot at this, so be patient....

3/23

I signed up for the CHIRP staff tix to see The Orwells at Beat Kitchen on my bday.  It's an all-ages show, so I thought it would be a lot of fun to take my 13-yr old.  Most of the band members are only 5-6 yrs older than him.  Their debut, which I've been getting to know by playing a cut from it on CHIRP nearly every Wednesday night, is a fuzzy, snotty adolescent blast.  Not sure if my boy will cotton to it, but I know that I like it...

We went to The Alley first on the way to venue, to get in the mood...

Got to Beat Kitchen before the 1st of 3 bands even went on.  Got stamped & went out for some food.  Got back in time for 2nd band.  Stood awkwardly by CHIRP table (teen in a cool environment + dad = weird) when the text from homebase came in.  Little bro injured in wrestling accident....please come home he's bleeding everywhere.  So, I hope it was a great show for all who attended....the room was very excited, you could feel it.  Here's how my bday/Orwells/sondate ended:

3 staples to the 6-yr old's head.  Oh well, maybe I'll be able to get tix to The Orwells after their 2nd album....

Over & out.
