Boomy! The KXLL Boombox Robot can pick up objects in a rudimentary fashion, make an amazing dirty martini, and plays KXLL – Excellent Radio at an inappropriately loud volume! Boomy loves the radio as much as artificial intelligence allows, and if you try to take it away from him he will exercise his prime directive and eliminate you with his lasers. WE LOVE BOOMY!!

Fire On McGinnis in the Studio
A couple of Fire on McGinnis members, Lazlo and Matt, came by the studio to talk about the remastering of some of their recordings, a wild Czech who made a cartoon of their song about insanity, and their gig tonight at the Rendez. Note Lazlo’s son’s excitement about the interview.
