Schwenker spent a lot of time sampling various positions at several college radio stations in Staten Island, Manhattan and New Paltz, New York. His first on-air position was at an alternative station on the Jersey Shore and eventually he moved on to Poughkeepsie, NY to do nights.
After numerous adventures, including having a roommate who got a dog that wouldn't allow him in his own apartment and many all-nighters pulled on the Hudson Waterfront bar scene, he came back to his NYC roots here at 92.3 K-Rock.
According to which German to English dictionary you check, Schwenker means: 1) Balloon gas 2) A pork neck steak and/or the grill it is cooked on 3) Loud, obnoxious Radio DJ

Never EVER doubt Rivers Cuomo.
He’s like The Force. He can go away for awhile, but he’ll always come back, and not necessarily how you think he would.Like in the current incarnation of Weezer. He’s got a porn-stache.ALSO, he had some new material for a song, and he wanted some fan input. So, he went ahead and posted pieces of the [...]

Proof that God loves Sci Fi.

Can someone in tv come up with a new damn idea??
So, we had american idol. just so you know, that show blows. or it sucks. either way, it doesn’t really matter because paula abdul is most likely hammered off her face currently.
