DownCitySignal does not actively monitor or censor any broadcasts on its network. At any time, you may be exposed to innappropriate language, dangerous thoughts, and maybe even some dirty ideas. The random samples you may hear are from a wide variety of media and are often out of context. There are all kinds of things that may be inappropriate, make you feel icky inside, or just plain offend you. Especially, of course, live broadcasts; which are often direct feeds to a venue. Expect the worst and hope for the best. Luckily, in all cases, the solution is simple: if it bothers you, just turn it off.

Firsthand - Local Musician Soldiers in Iraq
audio,stereo,48k/22.5hz,mp3

(This broadcast originally aired on May 7, 2006 @ 8pm EST)

For three years, American troops have been engaged in a brutal conflict half a world away... while at the same time, 67 percent of students 18-25 cannot find Iraq on a map. We've been deluged by opinions and predictions from all manner of media and politician... while at the same time, we completely ignore the stories of people who were actually there.

Those of you that have been fans of RattleHead and DownCitySignal, know that we're big fans of raw tape and open mics. We consider this merely an extension of this philosophy, stories from people who were actually there, in their own words. And the fact that they're local musicians, only makes it closer to home. We'll have Matt from Mastamindz and Erik from 10Fold, some of their friends, some live calls to other musician/soldiers... and a lot of detailed information of what its really like over there.

So listen, learn, think, and decide for yourself! Don't just believe the hype.
