The Darkhours Episode CXI: Dark History Month begins.
Oh wait... is it "Black History Month?" Well I confuse terms... "Black"..."Dark".. what's the difference. This is the month where we mix it up with a few tunes from some great African American or just plain black rock bands from music history, mix that in with some cool alternative tunes, some metal and industrial, throw in some classic rock, sprinkled with some dark salty humor and peppered with some general fun and you've got a huge Hero Sandwich of awesome internet radio. At least that's how these theme shows start... then I go skewing off on a different path in general. Either way, it's always fun. I'd just suggest on being there.

STOP THE PRESSES!! A LIVE 24 HOUR TELETHON on KMRL MOJORADIOLIVE 9AM SAT. TO 9AM SUN!!
Schedule Updated! LIVE 24 HOUR BEG-A-THON THIS SATURDAY ON KMRL, 9AM SAT. TO 9AM SUN.
Yes, we ARE that crazy.
We've had some amazing responses to the call for help and I am THRILLED to say we raised enough to go back on the air with live shows! Thank you over and over to all of you who were kind enough to get us back to working status!
However, we need more. We lost the capability for a decent default rotation and that sucks. We have it in the works, we just need to raise more money.

We'll sing for your donations, we'll sing your praises along with anything you want us to sing. We'll have a raffle or two for some small prizes to show our appreciation.
We'll have a special guest during Darkstar's show as the wonderful Leslie Savage makes her KMRL debut! We'll have the chatroom going the entire 24 hours as well and who knows who else might show up for the fun!
As of now, the PoorBastards of Mojo Radio Live Beg-a-thon will run as follows:
SAT. 9AM - 1PM - TreemanX
Sat. 1PM - 3PM - Kittyn in the daytime
Sat. 3PM - 5PM - Deathsquad's Comedy Show
Sat. 5PM - 7PM - Ravennacht
Sat. 7PM - 11PM - Deathsquad
Sat. 11PM - Sun. 3AM - Darkstar
Sun. 3AM - 9AM - Kittyn anchoring the rear!
Please join us for the Beg-a-thon even if you're just there to root us on and keep us going!

A KMRL Telethon to launch KMRL2010 (from Webkittyn)
This is a special announcement from Webkittyn, Station Manager of KMRL http://www.mojoradiolive.com
KMRL - Why You Haven't Heard Us and Yes, We Could Use Your Help
This took a lot to do, Darkstar and Kittyn spent the entire day discussing this. Meathe and Deathsquad don't even know we're about to do this as it's something Kittyn always swore she would never do. Kittyn can be stubborn as a moose and even in these hard times she swore it would never come to this.
Well, it came to this. KMRL is asking you for your help.
Currently the station is down because well, we plum ran short on the necessary funds to keep everything running. Keeping it real and fully licensed with a decent default rotation costs money and it's just been a tough year, particularly with Kittyn on disability and a small fixed monthly check.
What we won't do is compromise our values. It would be easy to hop on a simple Shoutcast server and do the shows but then we're not royalty covered and we believe the artists we play are entitled to get paid for being played. Being able to say we were royalty-covered was a big thing for us and we won't let that go.
We've also had a level of dissatisfaction with Live365 recently, whether it's player issues or other issues you don't need to be bothered with. Our goal was always to run a solid station with multiple connection options, a better default list with requests and a phone line for call-ins.
It doesn't make sense to go back to where we were and not be able to do anything with what we had. Sometime last year we invested $300 in a program called SAM that does amazing things and would elevate both the live and default parts of KMRL to a whole new level. We never put SAM into use as it is a huge and complex beast and we need separate machinery to make it happen.
This is where we turn to you. And it sucks, I know. How dare we stick out our paws and ask you for money right after everyone just went broke on the holidays. We know. We didn't want to do this.
It's going to cost approximately $700 to get KMRL back up and running the way it was meant to run with the integration of SAM and the ability for ALL new hosts to use SAM. It's going to cost that to get it all together so we turn to you and ask for your help if you can.
Somehow we'll get it done, KMRL was never supposed to be a 'listener sponsored station,' the thought of asking people for money for KMRL makes Kittyn want to put on Mitternacht and go out stabbing. It's perfectly fine to tell us to go screw ourselves and ignore this, it may take us longer but KMRL will re-emerge in a new and improved way.
However.. If you miss having Darkstar there with you in your bedroom every Wednesday night or going to sleep to Blues late at night or getting your GWAR on with Deathsquad or listening to Kittyn rant about nothing and you have a few doubloons you can spare, all help is deeply appreciated. More than you know. It doesn't matter how much, the gesture in itself will be enough to make Kittyn tear up.
We've made a new email account that is linked to Kittyn's paypal just for this occasion, if people are going to be generous they might as well get a laugh out of it as well.
Donations should be made to
Again, please do not feel obligated as this is not your responsibility and we will eventually come back to you bigger and better but hey, it's the season of love and puppies and we're really hurting financially along with tweaking hard about not being able to broadcast so we've sucked up our pride and we ask for your help.
Help revive and improve KMRL, it's good for your kidneys and Darkstar will love you for life.
Again, donations should go to
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Kittyn, Darkstar, Deathsquad and Meathe.
