Hey everyone, we have not really brought too much attention to the fact that WOXY.com is once again up for Online Radio Station of the Year at this years Plug Awards. And for good reason, we know that you guys are keen enough to get over there and place your votes without our nagging, we trust you, really.
Even so, here is a late reminder to head on over to the voting booth and vote for all of your favorites that are nominated for this years Plug Awards. The last day to vote is tomorrow, February 15th. The awards take place in NYC at Terminal 5 on March 6th. It will be hosted by Patton Oswalt, and performances by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, St. Vincent, Dizzee Rascal, José Gonzales, and more.
And you don’t have to leave the comfort of your home computer either, as the awards will be webcast on Dell Lounge.com.

A very cool giveaway for you today here on The Futurist, as we have some copies of the latest edition of the Monty Python classic, Life Of Brian.
This is being called the Immaculate Edition, and captures most of the features of the previous Criterion Collection (two commentary tracks, five deleted scenes, radio ads version), as well as a new hour long documentary.
All five surviving Pythons are interviewed and offer a lot of insight into the film, from its conception, to the controversy surrounding its opening (in the US and in the UK), to its lasting standing as the Pythons’ greatest work.
We have some copies to give away, and since all Python movies are very quoteable, leave your favorite Life Of Brian quote in the comments to qualify. We will choose a winner sometime next week, so keep your eyes on The Futurist to see if you have won!
And this weekend on WOXY.com, you can hear a brand new radio documentary featuring John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. The documentary will air several times throughout the weekend.
For our listeners and readers in New York who are looking for something to do this weekend, we’ve got two shows that we highly recommend happening over at Union Hall.
Jason Drake, the man behind Cassettes Won’t Listen, takes the stage tonight with special guests Mellowdrone. CWL will be releasing a cd called Small-Time Machine next month. You may have already heard us playing tracks off it here at the station, but this is a great opportunity to see the songs live.
$10 gets you in for this 21+ show, doors 8pm.
On Saturday night, recent Lounge Act performers Jukebox The Ghost will be taking the stage at Union Hall to play cuts from their excellent new release Let Live And Let Ghosts. Advance tickets for this show have already SOLD OUT, but a limited number of tickets will be available at the door. Get there early to avoid disappointment!
Special guests for this show are Hymns and A Brief Smile. 21+, doors 8pm.
Join us tonight at 8:30pm EST on WOXY.com for a special edition of Local Lixx. Instead of yours truly going through 30 minutes of LL, tonight I will be welcoming in a special guest to choose the songs, and we will run for a full hour. Pat Leonard of Patradio will join me tonight and will be choosing music from some of his favorite local artists.
Pat runs a great podcast that champions music from Columbus, Ohio and has a broad knowledge of the best stuff coming out of the capital city these days. Here are a few artists you can expect to hear from tonight.
Artrocker radio takes over our airwaves again this evening with a brand new episode at 6pm EST. Paul from Artrocker Magazine brings you 90 minutes of the very latest releases straight from London.
Tune in tonight and hear brand new music from…..
Blood Red Shoes
The Futureheads
Good Shoes
The Young Knives
The Inconsolables
and lots more………..
So don’t forget to listen in tonight at 6pm EST for a brand new Artrocker!
