WELCOME TO THE WEEKEND!

Just want to let you know that I'll be broadcasting live for THE party every Saturday Night @ Down the Hatch in Brookfield. Essentially, its the biggest party on the water - like ON THE WATER. 10 - Midnight (I'll be there for longer) @ Down the Hatch...

- $3.00 Bud and Bud Lights Aluminum Bottles (The more oz ones)
- 98Q Prizes / Giveaways

- Drink Specials with Me

Trust me, all Ive been getting since moving back to Danbury is, "you HAVE to check out down the hatch..."

and since its the weekend, I thought I would leave you a thoughtful piece about Milk Containers and the meaning of life...



P.S. - Blur's "Think Tank" will change the way you view music, it did for me...

Any questions you know where to get me

Guitar Hero and Tramp Stamps...

so a couple of things, being that its a Monday...

1. Guitar Hero @ Billy Beans on Friday - awesome...Period...



You know that you're having fun when you're doing a live break WHILE PLAYING BATTLE GUITAR HERO...not smart, but fun...

2. Shaws on Sat: Also amazing...BBQ and people....


OK OK OK.... Onto the goods...

Check this out so it turns out that doctors have actually APPROVED a tattoo...Let me give you some backstory. Docs are saying that when you have any tattoo around your belly and get you preggios (men, take note), when the pregnancy is over your left with a disfigured, warped, alien looking heart or whatever you got down there...That's not the point, BUT they go on to say, "if you are going to get a tattoo...get a tramp stamp!" HA HA! You heard it, if you want to get a tattoo, the safest one is a tramp stamp. 9 out of 10 Doctors recommend it!



Let is be known, I was very amused trying to find images of tramp stamps on the internet...Mostly because this came up:



...till next time

THE Piggyback Ride...

So this past weekend I finally the trip down to Washington D.C. to meet up with longtime friends, we'll call them Jake and Jackie...oh and their friends...

Anyway, quick summary of the events:

- Show up, make great time even though "Jake" and I got pulled over in Jersey by the BEST cop. We may have been going 86 in a 65, but instead the cop gave us a 74 in a 65 (9 miles over instead of 21 aka = $300 to $85)

- Move Jake's stuff out, get ditched by Jackie. My friend for over 10+ years decides that she doesnt care enough to worry that I finally came to visit her...(she was spending time at another radio station's concert, how ironic)

- Meet up, go out, get some awesome Pad Tai (which I haven't had since my Boston days. Are there any good cheap Tai places in Danbury!?!)

- So weeee get our drink on, I end up getting hit on by this skeeevy guy (yes, I am straight and I said guy). On the way back I decide to give a piggyback ride to, let's call her Tina, because her high-heels have taken their toll. Jake points out that I am such a weakling that I can't carry her the last block to her apartment to pick up her sandals...One thing lent to another and BAM...literally. I dropped her. And fell...Hard...On my wrist / chin...

- There I am, on the ground, spinning around in circles just screaming, "Ow...ow...ow...ow..." Oh, that and to Tina, 'Just get your sandals!!" Jackie was nice enough to lend a bag of frozen peas...Needless-to-say we went out for pie @ 4 in the morning with a bag of peas tied to my swelling, unmovable hand...

- Diagnosis: We all agreed that it was a mild sprain. Oh, and it was my left hand - my dominant hand. Next time your bored, try doing everyday tasks with your opposite hand, but the weird ones like blowing your nose!

UPDATE: After a lot of ice, the beauty that is an ace bandage, and time, my wrist is finally moving again and I can move almost all three fingers without pain...WEEEE!!

Kids - the morale of the story is : Don't Drink and Piggyride...or you'll end up like this...

Neil Diamond in '08

So couple of things...

1. Its always fun when you're playing a long music segment on the radio and your music stops...like...stops...20 min of music lost...I didn't do it...

2. My sis of sister's (1 of 2) is back for for the weekend and she rented an awesome Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider and she decided that she would surprise one of her friends, we'll call him Brent, with this badass car. One would think that my sister, being that she's been to his house like I dont know - 30 times - would know where he lives...no. There we are lost...in a rental...on roads that are no longer paved and some no longer actual roads but grass paths...

3. All was not lost since I discovered Sirus 3, a channel devoted to one of the greatest men ever lived - Neil Diamond. All Neil - All the Time.

To summarize: Lost on grass roads + rocking out to Neil Diamond + in a Spider = Awesomeness.

Oh and: Neil Diamond > Whatever You Can Think of

Nate: Flavor Flav, Angelina and Nate Michaels...

Falavor FLAAAAAV, Bret Michaels, Angelina

First things first: Wayback Wednesday Playlist:
- Whitetown - Your Woman
- Chumbawumba - Tubthumping
- Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

NOW onto the fun stuff. Number one, I mentioned this the other day but I had to photoshop it because its like crack. I understand the whole preggos thing is suppose to be romantic and yada yada - but - ANGELINA JOLIE HAS A BABY PUMP LIKE THE MOVIE ALIENS!! Seriously! I took it upon myself, to shave it down a little....make it a little more Pregnant and less "Oh look at this sunny day...AGH! AGH! AN ALIEN!!"

Angelina



I also want whatever Flavor Flav is taking because that man is awesome. I watched him the other night on Conan and it was pure awesome. He runs out wearing a bear hat on - jibba jabbas about something then screams out to everyone "FLAVOR FLAV!!" He chuckles about everything, screams when he wants to make a point, and then at the end he looks right into the camera and says he's out to get his producers...

I realize that after promoting how awesome my blog is...this one isn't up to par.

BRET MICHAELS - have I only been watching Vh1? When did all the girls become hot? Am I alone in this!!? I first thought I needed a shot when I watched the show, missed the first 7 episodes and now its like - Im a little jealous. Send your auditions to Radio Love with Nate Mumford to: 98Q Studios / Danbury, CT....

I have to save my blogability since Im going to be throwing blogs up almost everyday...Check out the upgraded 98q.com for podcasts, blogs, and more!

Till next time...

` nate

Nate's No TV / Internet Survival Guide

Aloha! So I thought for my first blog I would repost my favorite old blog when we lost internet / TV at the station...Enjoy! 

"So I get a phone call today from Zach Dillon informing me that we have no email. No google. No internet. No scrubs. No TV. Nothing. We might as well be Frodo without a ring. (Oh yes, I went there)

Minutes go by....Hours Go By...DAYS...(in our head)...go by. Im taking a note from Conan's Survival Blog and writing my own: Nate's Awesome Survival Blog @ the 98Q Studios....


16:23 : Thursday : Jan 31st, 2008

- Im in the fetal position in the corner of our FM Production Studio...Its so cold. Its been 29 minutes since we lost the internet and Cable. I think I hear someone talking in the distance. Dear god, please be Comcast. I don't know how much longer I have. I've decided to write my last words on this leftover piece of toilet paper and Im going to put it in a bottle to throw in Candelwood lake. Im out of room. Goodbye world...remember me for my left hand...



17:53 : Thursday : Jan 31st, 2008

- I've realized its really unnecessary to be writing this on toilet paper when we have plenty of paper in the printer. That and we have no windows and we're not close to candlewood lake. I'll save that one for armageddon since I don't think we'll have control over the internet and cable during armageddon. The computers are the ones who are going to take over anyway. Still cold. I also realized its not necessary to be naked in the corner. Coworkers are beginning to look at me...I think I'll put on a sweater...

19:00 Thursday : Jan 31st, 2008

- My shift has started. All I know from earlier at home is that Michael Jackson finally allowed his kids (who are what like 50 and 35?) to walk outside without masks and let me tell you - they have giant ears. Like, its more noticeable than Michael Jackson's man-eating nose. (which has to be reason for his facial disinigation) I have been told to keep a look out for the Comcast guy. God speed...

19:01 : Thursday : Jan 31st, 2008.

What time...DAMNIT!

20:11 : Thursday : Jan 31st, 2008.

- It has been difficult. There is only so long one man can last on a ham sandwich and baked beans...We have broken into a random locked door with Jim (dont know his real name) the guy from Comcast / the fourth coming of Christ. After a battle with the Security Guard...wait..he's walking my way...wait...what!?!? He's SIGNALLY TO ME!!!! Oh...well...I dont know...He doesn't know what the problem is. He can't find our wires. No, Im not crying...Its just raining on my face...

20:18 : Thursday : Jan 31st, 2008.

- It hurts. It hurts so bad. I think that my left hand (the good one) developed frost bite. I needed to get rid of it before it spreads. Say hello to righty. He's back! Yes...yes....YES....YESSS!!!!!! IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK!!!! GOOGLE BABY!!! EMAIL!!! BRITNEY!!!! hmm...that was only like...5 hours......seems a little unnecessary to have bitten off my own left hand........ow....
