DEAR FRIENDS,DUE TO THE EVENTS OF THIS PAST SUNDAY'S SHOW MY SHOW HAS BEEN TERMINATED. FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT TUNED IN THIS PAST SUNDAY I WILL EXPLAIN. ON SUNDAY NIGHT I LEARNED THAT TY SEGALL WAS IN TOWN AND QUICKLY ARRANGED FOR HIM TO COME INTO THE STUDIO, DIRECTLY FOLLOWING HIS PERFORMANCE AT DEATH BY AUDIO. HE ARRIVED AT 1:30 AND AS WE HAD LIMITED TIME WE QUICKLY SET UP THE STOREFRONT STUDIO AND KICKED OUT THE JAMZ. IT WAS A MAGICAL PERFORMANCE GENERATING AN INSTANT AUDIENCE ON FIRST AVENUE. WE WERE ALL SO CAUGHT UP IN THE EXCITEMENT AND SPIRIT OF IT, THAT I MYSELF DID NOT CONSIDER JUST HOW LOUD THIS WAS. AT ABOUT 1:45 AN IRATE NEIGHBOR CAME TEARING INTO THE STUDIO, ATTEMPTING TO BREAK INSTRUMENTS, KICKING OVER DRUMS, AND ACTING VERY VIOLENTLY. HIS AGGRESSION WAS QUICKLY MET WITH MY OWN DEFENSE OF THE BAND AND OUR STREET AUDIENCE MADE QUICK WORK OF HIM. UNFORTUNATELY THIS WAS ALL AIRED AND IN HINDSIGHT I REALIZE THE VERBAL ATTACKS DID NOT REFLECT WELL ON THE STATION. IN ORDER TO SAVE FACE AND APPEASE THE ANGRY PARTIES FOR THIS BREIF DISTURBANCE, THE STATION FELT IT NECESSARY TO TERMINATE THE SHOW. NOW, AS I DO REALIZE WHERE MY JUDGEMENT MAY HAVE BEEN POOR THAT NIGHT, I MUST ALSO CONVEY THAT MY INTENTION, AS ALWAYS, WAS TO TURN MY LISTENERS ONTO AN EXCITING NEW BAND. AS THEY KILLED THEMSELVES TO GET TO THE STATION, I MOVED QUICKLY TO ACCOMMODATE THEM NOT CONSIDERING THE GREAT PROJECTION OF SOUND ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD. CAUGHT UP IN THE EXCITEMENT OF A GREAT SET AND THE UNIQUE ARRANGEMENT I LET IT RIDE AND WHEN MET WITH AGGRESSION, I ACTED IN DEFIANCE AND NOT CONSIDERATION, AS WE HAD A LARGE SUPPORTIVE CROWD ON THE STREET. THE IRONY IS THAT THE LOWER EAST SIDE COMMUNITY HAS A STRONG HISTORY OF ART/MUSIC CULTURE WHICH EVR LIKES TO PROMOTE ITSELF A HUB FOR, ESPECIALLY MAKING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE OLD "LES" AND THE "NEW", A PROMOTING THE RETURN OF THE "OLD". BACK IN THE DAY, A SHOW IN THE STUDIO THAT COULD GENERATE ATTTENTION LIKLE THIS WAS "COOL" AND SO "PUNK", THEY VERY THING OUR COMMUNITY WANTS TO SPEAK FOR, BUT THE REALITY IN THIS DAY AND AGE IS SOMETHING SO HYPOCRITICAL. I HAVE BEEN WITH EVR FOR 5 YEARS AND ALWAYS TAKEN GREAT PRIDE IN MY POSITION AS A DJ TURNING MY AUDIENCE ON TO NEW AND INNOVATIVE MUSIC. I FI ND IT SAD THAT THIS EVENT HAS COST ME MY SHOW. IN SUMMARY I ASK THAT ANY OF YOU WHO WISH TO VOICE YOUR DISAPPROVAL IN MY TERMINATION PLEASE STAND UP AND WRITE THE MANAGEMENT OF EVR DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THE EASTVILLAGERADI​O.​COM SITE FORUMS. THE SHOW LINK HAS BEEN REPOSTED AFTER A MINOR EDIT OF THE OUTSIDE ARGUMENT, SO YOU CAN TUNE IN AND GET A SAMPLE OF THE LIVE ENERGY WE WERE PROJECTING THAT NIGHT. IT WAS A BLAST AND TY SEGALL, ALONG WITH HIS BACKING BAND CHARLIE AND THE MOONHEARTS, WE SUPER COOL. AN EPIC PERFORMANCE!
