Programmus Interruptus
Possible results of the impending AMN/ACTV merger. Don't say you haven't been warned.
ALEX JONES' CONSPIRACY COUNTDOWN: Join Austin's favorite anti-NWO raconteur in revisiting memorable moments in pop paranoia: Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," Guns n' Roses' "Out Ta Get Me," Soul Coughing's "Black Helicopters." Don't miss the long-distance dedication to Napoleon "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Ha!" XIV.
RED RIVER LIVE: Co-sponsored by Lone Star beer and the SIMS Foundation, "TCB," color man Chad Holt, and endless guests take viewers on a nightly romp up and down Rio Rojo that only ceases when no one is sober enough to hold the camera.
EASTSIDE DIARIES: Hourlong digest of the plentiful musical activity east of I-35. Who's around the Carousel, what's going down at the Longbranch, who's blasting the Back Room? How is the Victory Grill's remodeling going? And how soon before hipsters invade T.C.'s? Only on Eastside Diaries.
TRADING SINGERS: In the tradition of Meet Your New Mommy, local bands swap vocalists, with all the resulting awkwardness and personality conflicts caught on tape. A surefire smash.
NONE MORE SOUTH: A camera is set up in a random 78704 back yard. Soon, people come and go, drinking beer, cooking out, wearing flip-flops, smoking weed, playing songs, drinking more beer, wondering if the Horns are worth a shit this year, smoking more weed, playing more music, and asking if it's time to go to the Saxon yet.
WHAT'S MORE DISTURBING? Win cash and prizes – well, leftover AMN T-shirts and whatnot – demonstrating your grasp of pop culture's creepier side. This week: Is it Wes Borland's rejoining Limp Bizkit, Britney doing Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative" for her next LP, or the already-infamous Mary-Kate beaver shot?
COWBOY COMEDY: RODEO BLOOPERS VOL. 13: Hey, a guy can dream...
Special note: None of this is actually true in even the most remote capacity.
