One of the perks I get from working with radio stations is that they all give away promotional items — station crap — and I usually score some at each station I go to. This time around I’ve hit the motherlode.

My station crap catalogue from this trip is:

8 (eight!) T-shirts with the classic rock station’s logo (a cool logo, fortunately)
2 DVDs — Volumes 1 & 2 of the American Folk Blues Festival
13 CDs:

• Martin Scorcese Presents: The Best of the Blues
• Roger Waters The Wall Live in Berlin
• Lynyrd Skynyrd Christmas Time Again
• Lynyrd Skynyrd Thyrty – 30th Anniversary Collection (2 disc set)
• Powerman 5000 transform
• Adema Unstable
• Aerosmith Young Lust: The Aerosmith Anthology (2 disc set)
• Kiss The Best of Kiss
• Monstrosity Rise To Power
• The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East (Deluxe Edition) (2 disc set)
• Shadows Fall The Art of Balance
• Jo Dee Messina A Joyful Noise
• Debby Boone Home For Christmas

Damn, I scored! (Except for that Debby Boone CD. Quote from the guy who gave it to me: “You touched it last, you have to keep it!” Fucker.)

But what the hell am I going to do with eight identical T-shirts? And who are half of these bands I’ve never heard of?

I love station crap…
