LIVE 24 HOUR BEG-A-THON THIS SATURDAY ON KMRL, 9AM SAT. TO 9AM SUN.
Yes, are are that crazy.We've had some amazing responses to the call for help and I am THRILLED to say we raised enough to go back on the air with live shows! Thank you over and over to all of you who were kind enough to get us back to working status!
However, we need more. We lost the capability for a decent default rotation and that sucks. We have it in the works, we just need to raise more money.
So we got together and brainstormed and the most fun way we could think of to raise money was to have a live 24 hour beg-a-thon! 24 live hours of the DJs you know and love, good music and us asking you for your donations!
We'll sing for your donations, we'll sing your praises along with anything you want us to sing. We'll have a raffle or two for some small prizes to show our appreciation.
We'll have a special guest during Darkstar's show as the wonderful Leslie Savage makes her KMRL debut! We'll have the chatroom going the entire 24 hours as well and who knows who else might show up for the fun!
As of now, the PoorBastards of Mojo Radio Live Beg-a-thon will run as follows:
SAT. 9AM - 1PM - TreemanX
Sat. 1PM - 3PM - Kittyn in the daytime
Sat. 3PM - 5PM - Deathsquad's Comedy Show
Sat. 5PM - 7PM - Ravennacht
Sat. 7PM - 11PM - Deathsquad
Sat. 11PM - Sun. 3AM - Darkstar
Sun. 3AM - 9AM - Kittyn anchoring the rear!
Please join us for the Beg-a-thon even if you're just there to root us on and keep us going!
Those of you who want to donate, our paypal email is
We're looking forward to your company for the 'thon and we'll be updating during the week!
Spread the word! We need YOU!
Thanks!

KMRL - Why You Haven’t Heard Us and Yes, We Could Use Your Help
This took a lot to do, Darkstar and Kittyn spent the entire day discussing this. Meathe and Deathsquad don't even know we're about to do this as it's something Kittyn always swore she would never do. Kittyn can be stubborn as a moose and even in these hard times she swore it would never come to this.Well, it came to this. KMRL is asking you for your help.
Currently the station is down because well, we plum ran short on the necessary funds to keep everything running. Keeping it real and fully licensed with a decent default rotation costs money and it's just been a tough year, particularly with Kittyn on disability and a small fixed monthly check.
What we won't do is compromise our values. It would be easy to hop on a simple Shoutcast server and do the shows but then we're not royalty covered and we believe the artists we play are entitled to get paid for being played. Being able to say we were royalty-covered was a big thing for us and we won't let that go.
We've also had a level of dissatisfaction with Live365 recently, whether it's player issues or other issues you don't need to be bothered with. Our goal was always to run a solid station with multiple connection options, a better default list with requests and a phone line for call-ins.
It doesn't make sense to go back to where we were and not be able to do anything with what we had. Sometime last year we invested $300 in a program called SAM that does amazing things and would elevate both the live and default parts of KMRL to a whole new level. We never put SAM into use as it is a huge and complex beast and we need separate machinery to make it happen.
This is where we turn to you. And it sucks, I know. How dare we stick out our paws and ask you for money right after everyone just went broke on the holidays. We know. We didn't want to do this.
It's going to cost approximately $700 to get KMRL back up and running the way it was meant to run with the integration of SAM and the ability for ALL new hosts to use SAM. It's going to cost that to get it all together so we turn to you and ask for your help if you can.
Somehow we'll get it done, KMRL was never supposed to be a 'listener sponsored station,' the thought of asking people for money for KMRL makes Kittyn want to put on Mitternacht and go out stabbing. It's perfectly fine to tell us to go screw ourselves and ignore this, it may take us longer but KMRL will re-emerge in a new and improved way.
However.. If you miss having Darkstar there with you in your bedroom every Wednesday night or going to sleep to Treeman late at night or getting your GWAR on with Deathsquad or listening to Kittyn rant about nothing and you have a few doubloons you can spare, all help is deeply appreciated. More than you know. It doesn't matter how much, the gesture in itself will be enough to make Kittyn tear up.
We've made a new email account that is linked to Kittyn's paypal just for this occasion, if people are going to be generous they might as well get a laugh out of it as well.
Donations should be made to
Again, please do not feel obligated as this is not your responsibility and we will eventually come back to you bigger and better but hey, it's the season of love and puppies and we're really hurting financially along with tweaking hard about not being able to broadcast so we've sucked up our pride and we ask for your help.
Help revive and improve KMRL, it's good for your kidneys and Darkstar will love you for life.
Again, donations should go to
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Kittyn, Darkstar, Deathsquad and Meathe.

No Kittyn Tonight, Christmas Bonanza Next Week
Sorry, folks. I've been really sick all day. I'll spare you the details but it hasn't been pretty.I'm not feeling well at all, no way I can get through the show tonight.
I promise next week will make up for it in every way. I'll have Darkstar and MamaPrude and we'll be starting at 9PM EST for a THREE HOUR Christmas show that promises to be fun, vulgar, entertaining and filled with as much holiday spirit as I can muster.
So again, my apologies for missing tonight but my kidneys have minds of their own and today they're not happy. Maybe someone else will jump in.
See you all tomorrow for Deathsquad!

42nd Crossroads
Tonight, after Darkhours with DJ Darkstar, stay tuned for the 42nd Crossroads, Rock and Blues and a 4 drink minimum.
The Darkhours Episode CIX: Winter Chill. Winter Thrill.
The Darkhours Episode CIX: Winter Chill. Winter Thrill.
The Winter Solstice is nearly upon us. The weather has been shifting from global warming to cooling. It’s been snowing in most parts of the wintery world. It’s time to stay in and groove to loads of great tunes from all genre’s of darkness. No matter what, there’s always something new to discover and old to relish in. There’s always a fun time to be had. Don’t be afraid...embrace the darkness. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure and bask in the glory of musical hedonism. Abandon all inhibitions, O ye who enter here.
Once again, I invite you for a fireside chat to drink cider and listen to spooky funky kinky tunes as we celebrate Halloween Tonight and of course every Wednesday night even though it’s over because to us, everyday is Halloween.
Let’s not forget the music! If it’s dark and lovely (lol) I’ll be spinning and mixing it live! Have a multi genre dark dance party no matter where you are tonight! So join us live 10pm EST/7pm EST and get your freak on!
Commence O Festivale!
Note:
The Darkhours no longer has to stick to mainly goth and industrial and darkwave goth metal and such. It can hit the classic from the 60’s and beyond. The show is evolving into a more inviting atmosphere. Not so chained to any one musical genre, but free to celebrate music of all eras that had dark undertones. It could Be the Beatles, the Doors or the Moody Blues or Pink Floyd, It could be Black Sabbath or Rainbow or Dio, it could be Depeche Mode or Siouxie and the Banshees or the Sisters of Mercy. It could be Nitzer Ebb or Nine Inch Nails or Lords of Acid. It could be Nirvana or System of a Down or Korn. It could be E Nomine, Within Temptation or Nightwish. It could be Gothminister , the Deathstars or the 69 Eyes… the point is...it could be ANYTHING as long as it comes from the dark side of the moon.
You’d never think you could spend 2 hours at home celebrating your inner dark freak you normally keep locked up in a cage inside of you! Episode six is just a click away!
So we’re back and better than ever. LOADS to talk about in Dark Culture as the Darkhours is the voice of all things cool. Loads of new music and mixes and mayhem are in store.
My close confidantes may now listen straight from my facebook, myspace and for the general public, my personal blog page all carry Live 365 widget players!
What the hell.... it’s free, right? Why not give it a shot if you’re new to internet radio.

The Deathsquad Show, Episode 15
Oh yeah, its on like Saigon, and I’ll be reeming Waterdeepers for their ‘holiday’ spirit, at least the ones who are playing during the mornings. This is the season about being nice, but apparently I run the bizzaro text base game where Christmas means calling everyone racist names, smashing their faces in with frying pans and celebrating Hitlers birthday come April. Besides that, the usually ranting and jabbering, a cleaned up playlist, and listeners! So have some fun, come join us, and hear some metal.
The Deathsquad Show
Tuesday @ 10pm

Kittyn on the Air Tonight at 10
Wow, I actually made it two weeks in a row!The show will be on tonight at 10PM EST, my mother will be there as well.
I'm not particularly pissed off at anything this week so the ranting might be at a minimum but I'm sure I'll come up with something.
I'm not smooth. I'm not 'professional.' I don't mix. I don't play the hottest most current songs. I curse like a pro. I talk about stupid stuff and laugh at my own jokes. This is my non-show.
Join us at 10PM EST, bring the egg nog and the rum and we'll party. I've got 4 pounds of cookies.
Don't forget the chatroom, come to the chat and join the fun!
