They last two weeks, twice a year.

The hilarious thing is it's one of the top 5 stations in Seattle and it's literally run out of a 2nd floor classroom at Nathan Hale High School.

I'd do this show and we'd know that we needed to pull in $10k over two weeks to cover our slot for six months.

And we'd know that at any given time, 10,000 people were listening. On a Sunday night.

So I don't know who this Paul guy is, but I went to the faq on that site and went to his myspace page and a Sleigh Bells video is autoplaying on his profile, so consider me a fan.

Yeah, that's a lot of people. There's a station similar to that here in the whole "being run out of a high school thing", but we have more listeners than they do. Yay.

Paul's a buddy. He's been spinning six hours of industrial music, on the air, in a major market, on a Tier 1 radio station, since 1988.

Once more, with feeling: since 1988.

I haven't mentioned it before, but it's a hell of a show. It streams live on the internet. And as far as I know, it is the largest Industrial music program in the world, and has been... since 1988.
