Who I Am
My name’s Kodi. When I started this blog, I was the program director - and metal director, and graduate assistant, and a lot of other stuff - of WWVU-FM in Morgantown, WV. Now I live in Brooklyn, home to a whole lot more bands and people like me to blog about them. I also do loud rock (read: metal) radio promotion for a really awesome company called The Syndicate.
What’s This For?
When you live in West Virginia, it’s easy to feel removed from a lot of what’s going on in the world. And that’s not always a bad thing. There’s a lot of natural beauty around you, city problems are something for city people to talk about, and celebrity gossip feels even more pointless than it already is because the odds of meeting one are slim to none.
But there’s another side to that, too. If you’re constantly thirsting for knowledge, libraries and the Internet will only hold you until you figure out where your interests lie. Then you’ll want to follow them. Personally, I really, really love music. Playing it, talking about it, promoting it, all of that. So I started this blog and named it partially as a reference to radio work, but also as a way of saying, “Hey! If anyone cares, I’m out here, and I may be a long way away from where a lot these things are happening, but I get it and I’m coming to be a part of them very soon. That’s a promise.”
And that’s what I did. Now that I’m actually in the city and constantly bombarded with information even when my computer’s off, I’ve realized that modern freedom of information has actually made the good stuff scarce because it’s so hard to filter anything. It’s like everything, everywhere, keeps disappearing into the same black hole. So I’m trying to dig up some things I see and hear, whether others are talking about them or not, and put them here.
COME ON GET TO THE POINT
FINE. I post about music a lot, and not just stuff I help promote. You’ll see other things once in a while, too.

The background image I’m using was created by Michael Cina for Kitsune Noir’s Desktop Wallpaper Project. However, I found it through one of the best electronic record labels out there, Ghostly International. I fully believe that music and visual art go conceptually hand in hand, so you’ll see me support artists of all types with some frequency here.
