Have you ever been “powned”?

Ever get an anonymous/spam email saying they have all your info, they know your password(s), they show you one of your passwords, and then threaten to expose you for all your porn-watchin’ dirty deeds you and your little computer have done since the beginning of time, unless you send them a big chunk of bitcoin?

YOU’VE BEEN POWNED! [“pwned” – hacker-eze for ‘owned’] Well, you can check if your email address or favorite passwords have shown up in a database of over a half-billion users that have had their identities hacked from the myriad corporate slackers (yahoo, Marriott, Target, et al…) that have had their customer databases raided by hackers in the past few years.

If you care about how vulnerable you and your email addresses/passwords are, check them out HERE: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

…and think about closing up your fences ~ the weasels are proliferating.

 

Wedding wha??? VOWS? Done did it!

Sooo…a young couple was traveling thru central Oregon a few months ago, in parts around the Ochoco mountains, and caught the Jive on 96.5. They were somewhat transfixed listening while camping. When they got home, “Lissie” wrote to tell us how much they loved the Jive and that they are getting married in a ‘pop-up wedding’ ceremony in a park in New Orleans and would the Jive consider playing something for them.

Fast forward to this week; “Lissie & Jesse” are set to get married THIS Saturday, 3pm our time [ceremony actually starts at 4:30pm New Orleans time]. We have some requests from them and we will do a little voice work saying ‘Hey!’ to their moms and play a little Jive for them. We’ll squeeze it in between hrs 1&2 of the Hoot and repeat after Di’s show at what will be 6:30ish (PST).

As Dondo will say in his opener, let’s lift a glass to the sweet young tykes and wish them a long fun trip into wedded bliss. MAY ALL THE GODS BLESS THEIR PATH.

WEDNESDAY BUCKET ACTION 1-23-19

So here’s a sample of the BVD Bucket for this wednesday 1-23 from 830 to 930.  see if these tunes could float your so-called boat…..

Little Feat–A Apolitical Blues

Al Green–Love Gone to Waste

Allman Bros.–Revival

ELO–Showdown

James McMurtry–Too Long in The Wasteland

Steely Dan–Hey 19

Sheryl Crow–In The Dark

some cool Putumayo world music from east africa (i didn’t have my phone to shazam it)

The Dead–Dire Wolf

Paul Simon–Dazzling Blue

SHAZAM!

so we know that song and artist identification can be very important at times, especially when you hear a good one on JR.  for those of you who listen online, Klappy is in charge of i.d., and most of the time, the ole boy does a fine job (Klappy is the little smiling radio you see on the right side of the home page).  but sometimes, the Klapster gets hit with a digital speed bump of some sort, and he goes down for a while.  we will get him back on the job ASAP, so that you can easily check song title and artist.  BUT…..this is also a good time to remind you, as we like to do occasionally, that the free app called SHAZAM kicks total ass on this identification front, and we highly recommend it to all Jive Radio listeners who give a poop about song/artist i.d.  SHAZAM is at any app store, downloads very quickly, is free, and it works MOST of the time.  you just hold the phone up to the speaker, and within a few seconds, SHAZAM will tell you Song Title, Artist, and maybe more, like a pic of the album cover.  SO IT’S VERY HELPFUL.  especially for us, with our streamlined automated 21st century approach to broadcasting (read LOW BUDGET)…..SHAZAM covers for us A LOT.  and is really a great accessory and aid to your enriched enjoyment of the musical Shangri-La that is…….JR!
