Buying or selling, Coe and Della

Welcome to SDRadio for Monday, November 27! The world-famous GelderHead Thought Of The Day: Everything works out right in the end, if things are not working right, it’s not the end yet. Don’t let it bother you, relax, and keep going. ~Michael C. Muhammed

Trouble With MoneyThe Trouble With Money, is a the second feature-length film that has a hidden star on the screen. From the opening to the end, the real star is the San Diego-county back drop. Written and directed by the 101.5 KGB’s Dean of American Sportscasters, Cookie Chainsaw Randolph the real magic is with Patrick Espinosa’s cinematography and lighting. The story is what would you do with a sudden wealth of a million dollars. It all starts with the continuing radio bit featuring Abraham Lincoln, Shelly Dunn’s dog and includes Abromowitz, Chris Boyer and Emily Maguire — and others around the Clear Channel San Diego headquarters. The real star, as indicated, is the San Diego backdrop. Perfect Cookie, worthy to be played multiple times with a cup of steaming coffee and milk.
The movie also includes the director’s cut of The J-K Conspiracy, the 2004 full-length feature. The $16 set includes a CD full of the best bits from this year — and both movies. Perfect for the Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw fan — and the proceeds fund the 12-Days of Christmas. More details on where to buy it or to order on line at 101.5 KGB or The Trouble With Money.

Tower CalendarScott Fybush has published a great radio companion. It’s the 2007 calendar of radio towers — perfect for the radio geek. Scott writes: “This year’s edition features what we think are the finest tower images yet - from the cover image of WCCO Minneapolis all the way to the back-cover centerfold of WBZ in Boston, and from KGO San Francisco to KOIL Omaha to Philadelphia’s famed Roxborough tower farm, captured in a dramatic dusk shot with the lights all aglow.
This sixth annual edition once again contains plenty of historic dates from radio and television history in the Northeast and beyond, and as always, it comes to you shrink-wrapped and shipped first class mail for safe arrival.”
Shipping is fast: I ordered my calender on a Friday and had it hanging by the next Wednesday. Visit Fybush.com for order details.

KPRIKPRI, San Diego’s home-grown station, has its fourth CD on sale. Capturing live music in studio or on the stage, the collection should be a staple in the music fan. James Blunt (pictured) has endorsed the project — and sent in a hand-crafted version of High. See the KPRI-FM’s website for more information.
