Retro SCOTTSO's Thunder Rocks Down Under

KLW's Retro SCOTTSO, now heard worldwide, even in Kookaburra.

Retro SCOTTSO is now heard loud and clear in Australia! Thanks to KLW's Chief Engineer Sid Walker and Transmitter Specialist Chad Burger, the dead-jay's croaky gravitas now dominates the Aussie soundscape, even drowning out high decibel mating calls of the Common Bushtail Possum, formerly the most prominent ear-sore heard across Oceania. 

This week, Retro SCOTTSO lays down another spectacular triple-plus segment celebrating the station's penetration into Aussieland, "Thunder From Down Under." If three perfect cuts in a row is good, more should be better. So line 'em up, you old innkeeper of the airwaves! Cheers big ears, mate!

Retro SCOTTSO fan clubs are sprouting up in towns all over Oz reporting excellent signal strength and quality; but most gratifyingly, an appreciation for the depth (6 feet) of musical perspective only Retro SCOTTSO can provide.

Doc POO's NSFW, So Why Work?

Dr. POO outside his old West Side sailor's haunt.

A hooded figure paddles up the Gowanus Canal,* shrouded by fog. His carbon fiber stealth-canoe creaks and strains under its dense cargo, barely afloat. The tiny boat's draft is indistinguishable from the viscous Superfund site's glossy surface. Movement is slow, no faster than clusters of sewage bobbing in unison as Doctor POO stoically navigates the lumpy green waterway. Repulsed but undaunted, Dr. P prudently shepherds his booty -- hundreds of records and CDs -- directly to KLW's wharf at Signal Hill Brooklyn.

That's right...legendary Creamy Fist magazine Editor/Publisher Dr. POO has just done for New York's polluted airwaves what chemical plants and solid waste have done to the Gowanus waterway. Made it worse! 

Hear The Dr. POO Show exclusively on the KILLERWATT. Click the SoundCloudplayer above!

*"The only body of water that is ninety percent guns," Johnathan Lethem, "Motherless Brooklyn," (Doubleday, 1999.)

Retro SCOTTSO Thaws Frostbitten Cockles

Smokes 'n' scotch 'n' snow. And KLW. Your holiday nights need not be silent.

Christmas Eve, by the fire. But the night's not gonna be so silent. Drag out your vintage 1989 JVC RC-M90 boombox. Merrily pop-in the required 37 D cells. Flick the switch then top off your whisky tumbler. Crank it up. Retro SCOTTSO is your kinda Santa. Here's to us!

The show features a new flick review from KLW's time traveling reviewer, Mike Ford. Tonight, Mike barely escapes the clutches of Times Square's crazy preacher lady by ducking into the Automat, selecting a sando, then sneaking in the Loews through the out door to screen Dog Day Afternoon.

The KILLERWATT proudly welcomes our new sponsor, Elke Van Dyke Design. Visit their Bryant Park holiday shop for elegant gifts made with an anti-conformist sentiment.

CYCLONE's Stash Satisfies Guilty Pleasures

KLW night-time disc jockey Vin CYCLONE trips while taking a selfie in front of the KILLERWATT's auxiliary transmitter site in Alpine New Jersey. in 2011. He was preparing to climb the tower to install a backup antenna system, however he stubbed his toe while taking the photo. KLW Engineer Chad Burger eventually made the climb.
  

The Power Hour satisfies seventy seven guilty pleasures per listener hour, according to recent Nielsen Audio (formerly Arbitron) ratings statistics. No wonder. Vin CYCLONE's cache of physical musical ear candy packs the penthouse loft of Tokyo's Mori Tower solid. Sure, it would digitize nicely onto a thumb drive, but you need something to impress the kids. Every single wee-hour coffee break, night-time disc jockey CYCLONE browses the stash and instinctively grabs something that makes the next segue super brill. He prefers to call his musical selection process "destiny," rather than attributing it to forethought and sober planning.

A brand new Tokyo Triple features prominently in tonight's broadcast. Featured artists include: Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, ROSSO, BAND-MAID, Seiko Oomori, and Mariya Takeuchi. A musical gourmand could only say, "Itedakimasu!"
