Happy New Year! 2005 was quite a year for BlowUpRadio.com, and for me. On a personal note, I got married, which is the most important thing to me, but as far as BlowUpRadio.com, 2005 saw... The celebration of our 5th Anniversary! The return of BlowUpRadio.com Live, broadcasting performances from some of the best local concerts. The return of Lazlo's Den, and expansion of the show to 2 hours on it's new home, Upstage Radio. The return of the Album of the Week. The premiere of BlowUpRadio.com Sessions with Jim Testa, which you can download now from our site. Downloads of exclusive albums, like jpat's "a rough, rough day on a bridge in the rain". A redesign of the website. Our own podcast, BlowUpRadio.com on the 'Pod (yes, I know it hasn't been updated in over a month, it will be soon). The return of Folk You!, first with the monthly shows on at SICA in Long Branch (on the 2nd Saturday of every month), and then with the help of Jersey Beat, to The Goldhawk in Hoboken. And beginning this week, The Goldhawk Folk You! shows will happen on the first Wednesday of every month.
Come out and celebrate the beginning of the new year and the beginning of Folk You! at The Goldhawk on the first Wednesday of every month. Peace, Lazlo

"It all started when I wrote these songs and made a bunch of promises I couldn't keep. I had accomplices, but they left town when the law showed up. It's no big deal. It's all about the music anyway. Just start listening...REALLY listening! Listen like all you care about is what this music can do for you and how it can change your life." - Steven Piperno...
