Matt Jordan: Master of the Radio Waves

Because controlling your bandwidth through his internet blog just wasn't enough, Matt Jordan of YANP also has his own radio show, so that he can bombard his signal directly into your brain.

"Thanks for listening to, THE RADIO. You are either poor, or in a car."
Patrick

Matt Jordan is attempting to monopolize every form of entertainment, every one of the body's senses, and there is nothing that we can do but concede to his might. Atleast until he tries his hand at the culinary arts, as I'm skeptical as to his abilities in that field. But for now, bow down to his glory, plebes.

The radio show in question takes place on 88.1 WRFL, the student radio station here at the University of Kentucky. The station used to pride itself in being "the only alternative left," but has since changed its mantra to, "MATT JORDAN!!!!" (followed by drooling). Until now, all those living outside the confines of Lexington had no opportunity of hearing these heavenly sounds, but thank God, because now all that has changed. The following is a feed which will allow you to listen to WRFL, from any place, and at any time.

Let there be light.

Now, WRFL is fine, but if you want the good stuff, and I'm talking about the Matt, then you'll need to tune in at exactly 2:00PM every monday. Oh and by the way, if you miss a show, Matt will know. No pressure.

Also, just in case there's someone out there that is still a non-believer, here's a sample playlist from today's show. You'll find him listed under the alias "mcjord2."

Things to come (not funny)

Note: If looking for a cheap laugh, pass this post over. This is serious people. That being said...

(drummer for my favorite band)

I wanted to take one of these brief moments that we have with each other to share some news about some special posts that are in the works for this week. Enjoy.

First, is the introduction of the first of our weekly features, this one being entitled {blogger of the week}. Although the title is somewhat self-explanatory, allow me to elaborate. Every Thursday will be dedicated to the lampooning of a different blog or blogger, other than our usual maintstays of you ain't no picasso and i guess i'm floating. We will feature a new blogger every week. Ideally, this will lead to an expanded cast of friends for our blog, as well as some high brow entertainment to boot. Realistically, we'll probably just weird some new people out.

Second, and lesser by no means, is the impending interview with the Matt, the myth, the legend, YANP's Matt Jordan himself. We intend on asking the questions that need to be asked, and saying the things that demand to be said. If you have any questions for Matt, leave us a comment or drop us an email, and we will try our best to rip the answer from his cold dead hands. Note, Matt Jordan will not actually die throughout the course of our interview. Hopefully.

Finally, Patrick will introduce his new "obscure as hell" movie trivia feature, in which a lucky few may win some very special, in this case special being cheap, prizes, as well as the grand prize, which is the set list from last week's Sunset Rubdown show, and can be seen here. If you doubt the depths and insane obscurity of Patrick's movie knowledge, check out his previous post for a small idea of what you are up against.

Well, I think that's about it for the special features, but of course we will with have plenty of daily updates with all sorts of useless banter to keep you company as well.

igiP to shutdown at request of Gerard, and his bear

We here at igiP would like to sincerely thank gerard vs. bear for their overwhelming praise of our newly established site. We didn't really understand all of it, as it consisted mainly of incomprehensible gibbersih, but we assume it was all good. Frankly, we're surprised you even found us, as we're admittedly rather small and insignificant, but all the same, cheers fellas.

Gibberish is a generic term in English for talking that sounds like speech, but has no actual meaning (like "the mave's rint is slanphed up"). This meaning has also been extended to meaningless text (such as "hgtdkygfdkyfkk" or "spligindysporkmadork"). Also, see gerard.

Floating through a world without Connor

(NOTHING)
by Nathaniel

It has come to our attention that iGIF's Connor is now posting at an exponentially greater rate than his counterpart Nathaniel. As a result, we decided to play a game of "It's a Wonderful Life" by imagining a world without Connor. As you may notice, it's freaking empty.

Now, any other half-ass blog would leave things at that, but here at igiP we're always trying to delve deeper into the issue at hand. The question isn't whether or not Nathaniel has given up on his own blog, it's why he's given up on his own blog. That is the question indeed, and there are so many possibilities. Is it too much time gallivanting off to myrtle beach with lady friends, sheer frustration with ez archive, too much celebrity too fast, fear of incorrect post citation, or shame over his mother's inadequate spaghetti sauce? While any of these answers are probable, the real answer, the truth of it, is one that we don't want to hear.

Maybe it's not that Nathaniel has forsaken us, but that we have forsaken him. Think about it. When the last time you said, "Hey Nathaniel, great post! It made my day!"? When was the last you said, "You know what Nathaniel, Connor's great, but you're the champ!"? When was the last time you even said, "Hi!"? For every "no" out there, we have all served to push Nathaniel another inch away, and only together, can we reel him back in. So next time you think, "when's Nathaniel posting again?" decide for yourself when you're gonna post for Nathaniel.

Paying Tribute to the "Jordan"

(Not actually Matt Jordan)

We all know that matt jordan of you ain't no picasso is hard to please. Once he makes a decision, well that's that. If he decides that he likes Captain D's better than Long John Silvers, well screw you Long John Silvers! Don't come cyring to me, you had your chance. This is exactly why it is so sad to see bands crawling on their hands and knees for him, attempting to regain some status in his honorable court. Take this excerpt from one of his latest posts for example:

The Fiery Furnaces have been on a quest to win back my love lately.

Give it up Fiery Furnaces! Matt Jordan is not just some bar that stamps your hand on the way out. Once you're gone, you're gone, and believe me, you're gone. I know this is hard to swallow, and it might even taste a little bitter going down, but you have to move on. He's in no mood for your games anymore. There are so many other bloggers out there, i'm sure one of them has to be just waiting to know you. So, please, for everybody's sake Fiery Furnaces, just let Matt go. Please, just let him go.
