The Bunskies are now moving to Sunday’s @ 8pm! First show will be on August 9th.

We feel this will work better for both of us. Kage has drawing bootcamp next term, so we figured Sunday would be the best day. Also, Larry starts BRP soon.

Have a great break!

Love,

The Bunskies

I was contemplating the title of Ex’Radio. You see, I’m signed up for Google alerts and every day or so I get topics on “Ex’Radio”. Although most of the time the results are literally about an ex-radio disc-jockey… as in out-of-work. It’s sad but true when it comes to the current state of radio as we have known it over the past century. Now we have the internet and all of the connectivity it brings, which is good. So… Ex’Radio. Not only does our title reference the unique name of Ex’pression College in all of it’s apostrophe glory- it is also a reference to radio that’s moved on to a new technological medium. Hence, Ex’Radio… get it?

Today we covered alot of topics. Chris and Pris are working the Ex’pression booth at BFD and are more than excited for it. Also, Pris’ very first article came out today, published in CampusCircle Newspaper. Go to this link and check it out!! http://www.campuscircle.com/review.cfm?r=8798

MerJew Minute: Chris rants about Max(again) and how he takes alternate language Facebook Quizzes. According the Chris, 3 babies die each time Max takes one of the quizzes.

MerJew Minute Part Two: Chris rants about Max being at Ikea and eating the food while taking pictures.

Other Topics: Joe Jonas does the Single Ladies Dance and Pris loved it because not everyone can dance in heels, except Chris, who apparently has the innate ability to not only walk in heels, but to breakdance in them as well. Pris’ was Florida’d by the Dark Romantics, and Chris represent Lujo like no other. The clap track was also hated on today and Pris expressed her love for the people that sport utili-kilts.

You can download the Lujo sampler for free: http://www.lujorecords.com/lujo2009/

First, if you know what The Bunskies are all about, you know that we can’t get enough of Modern Warfare 2. Well, after weeks of teaser trailers promoting another teaser trailer, the first full-length awesome trailer is finally here.

Modern Warfare 2

We told you it was awesome. Actually, awesome doesn’t even begin to describe it. The words I would use to attempt to explain the greatness of this trailer would get me banned from the blog. Just use you imagination. Hopefully, we’ll learn more about this, and dozens of other games, from the spectacle that is usually known as E3. I know I (Larry) will be at my computer for most of that week, so if I ignore anyone, sorry.

Last thing before I go play ping-pong with Kage. My friends showed part of this show to me over the weekend and I instantly fell in love with it. I’m talking about Glee. Rarely do I get excited about new T.V. shows, but this one had me gushing about it all weekend. Yes, there are things that need to be fixed, but I really hope this show is given the chance. I’m going to post the link of the show here. You can still download this show for free on iTunes.

Alright, that’s it for now. Bunskies are GO!!!

P.S. I’m new with all of this WordPress stuff, so hopefuly I’ll get better in time.

Mer Jew Minute: Chris compares The Hills and King of the Hill, about how the Hills is a derivative of it. Also, he misses yo-yos and hates on the yo-ball. Kevin chimed in about a guy playing guitar and yo-yoing at the same time.

Topics that were covered: KP from the Wallpaper Ninjas guest starred on the show today. Pris talked about the deliciousness of mixing wine and sprite. Contemplated a contest for a chance to win a date with Chris and Pris. Kevin was felt up by an old woman (who was beyond cougar status) at a coffee shop, because he looks like Josh Groban. Kevin jammed a little on the guitar and told a story about getting his ass kicked in ping pong by a 12 year old girl 21-0. Learned that Kevin’s uncle used to pick him up by the head. Also mystery of the day about an inside joke about beets that Pris can’t remember.

Hey everyone, it’s Pris, from Pris and Chris Indie Hour. Here are the highlights from our show on Tuesday.

MerJew Minute: Chris ranted about Maxwell still not having a dog and concluded that if he couldn’t have a dog, he should at least get a snake.

Topics that were covered during the show: Pris and Chris each wore animal masks, Pris posed as swine flu and Chris came up with the new giraffe flu. There was also an argument over recording techniques, with Chris being a hater on Pris’ choice in mixing. Pris decided to have a Half Moon Bay/ Blondie’s day, even if it’s by herself. “Maxwell Karon” guest star and performed a sand person call. Also, we learned that Maxwell only retains the chinese from his math class.

Hey ya’ll,

It’s Pris, from Chris and Pris, here to bring you the recap on what went down during the show today.

Mer-Jew Minute: Chris ranted about the facebook pirate layout which he learned about during math class. Pris ranted about Chris being a dream killer for not being adventurous enough to drive down to The ‘Lock to celebrate Warrior Day.

Here are the topics that we covered today: Cyanide/ eye drop poisoning, craigslist personals, The ‘Lock, Flight of the Concords, puppets, and I’m pretty sure the consensus was that the Chris version of Ice Cream is better than the original.

Add us on aim: digitalartsoup!! Then we can chat with you during the show.

Also, add me on last.fm: cupidkilledme!! Because I’m addicted. You will be too if you put the right amount of effort into it.

So, tune in next time and listen in as Pris attempts an online dating fiasco and Chris…. well, he’s pretty much just the face of the show.

Erase the hate, and go to the beach.
