The Request Line – Valentine’s Day Special

I’m planning a very special edition of the show Sunday night. For Valentine’s evening, what better way to impress your date, your sweetie, your schnookumpants – than to dedicate a song to them?

Help me help you score major points with your date. Drop your dedication in the comments section. Include the song, your name, the person you are dedicating to, and a brief message, if you’d like.

Check back at the end of the week for the Setlist, and find out approximately when your dedication will play, so you can make sure your baby honey bunches is listening (done with the awful pet names, promise).

And, Valentine-haters, you’re not left out either. Make your requests in the comments section as well. Dedicate a song to a friend, or to all of your comrades celebrating Singles Awareness Day.

So, get your dedications in now, and tune in Sunday night from 7-9, because a diamond may be forever, but a song on the Little Dylan show is free.

Thanks to everyone who voted – friend and fan alike. What started a few years ago as a bad radio bit has turned into as much of a reality as a student, part-time DJ/Sportscaster could ever hope for. If you remember, last year on the Afternoon Drive, we invited on the JFP’s managing editor at the time, Maggie Neff, to poke fun at my dismal 10-or-so vote performance. Now, trailing only the unstoppable forces of Y101, I consider thrird place downright nice.

Be sure to tune in Sunday night from 7-9pm CT for another great show. We’re going to celebrate by putting together an incredible setlist that you are hopefully going to love (It should be posted by later on this evening). Remember, you can listen online at www.star93fm.com

If you haven’t listened to the show before, or even the station as a whole, make an appointment to tune in for a little while Sunday night… I think you’ll like the range of music you will hear.

Thanks again to all who voted. I once again stand amazed at how much effort you are willing to put forth just to show me a little love. You have all been such a blessing to me; I hope the music and talks we have can be the same to you.

- “Little” Dylan

[The Question] Water Woes (plus setlist requests!)

Introducing, the Question. Each week, I’ll post some topic of conversation to carry over into the show on Sunday night. I’ll also use this post to float some Setlist ideas and take your requests for music you’d like to hear the upcoming Sunday.

It probably came to your attention at some point this week that the City of Jackson has no water. After a once-every-30-years kind of cold snap (70 consecutive hours below freezing), our city’s 100+-year-old pipes went kablooie! Quite literally. 106 water lines burst around the capital, causing city and state government to halt, schools to close, and countless events to be cancelled or postponed.

Don’t bag on Jackson. The same thing happened in Atlanta. We just don’t have the infrastructure for that kind of cold down here.

Anyway, the Question is: How were you affected by the lack of water in Jackson this week?

–

As far as this week’s setlist goes, I’m thinking some new Switchfoot definitely needs to be in there. Also toying with the idea of Emery making an appearance. And I’m always on the lookout for new bands, especially if they fit the indie-electronic sound we started last week’s show with. Put your requests in the comments section.

Tune in for Round 2 of the Little Dylan Show, Sunday night 7-9pm CST on Star 93.5 and www.star93fm.com
