Paradigm Shift : The Easiest Thing About Matt’s Special Day!

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008


Tune into Paradigm Shift this week from Noon-2pm on the BIRN!

Today is the day of Matt’s Senior Recital! This is a day that he’s been working up to for the past four years! Keeping in the spirit of what can only be one of his most memorable performances in life, Matt has brought in a selection of what he considers to be some of the greatest pop/rock music performances of all time! That means you’ll get a little of The Band, some Beatles, etc!

So tune in for your favorite guy/gal duo on the BIRN! Today! Noon-2pm!

Paradigm Shift! Your favorite guy/girl duo on the BIRN! Noon-2pm!

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008


If you listen to the BIRN a lot, you’ll notice that lots of DJs went out and got themselves a co-host of the opposite sex. We won’t mention any names* but I mean, imitation is a sign of adoration. And how could you NOT adore Matt O’Donnell and Keeley Bumford of Paradigm Shift?!

Tune in this Wednesday from Noon-2pm as Matt and Keeley play some awesome musics from all corners of the musical spectrum, including a couple of kids from the 90s who couldn’t handle wearing their clothes right side forward. Matt will also be gabbing about his sweet new job, while Keeley continues to be Empress of the Sea.

Noon-2pm. BIRN Channel 1. Be there.

Paradigm Shift: 1 More Day Until V-Day!

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

With only one more day to go until the most wildly romantic day of the year, hold off a couple hours on buying those roses you’re going to surprise your sweetheart with at exactly 12:01am on the 14th and join your favorite non-romantically involved couple, Keeley Bumford & Matt O’Donnell, as they present another sensational installment of Paradigm Shift!

We’re all through (we hope!) with the trials ad tribulations of mentoring to the BIRN noobs, so it’s back to business for us as we present you with some of the best Mainstream Pop and Indie musics from all corners of time, space, and Bob Dylan, too!

Tune in from Noon-2pm today, Wednesday, for Paradigm Shift!

Paradigm Shift: Still training, still working on unity.

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Tune in this Wednesday from Noon-2pm as Matt O’Donnell takes to the air on behalf of Paradigm Shift. Keeley will be taking care of some academic business tomorrow, so she’ll be missing out on the show. However, another Keeley will be making an appearance…..

Once again, the studio will be invaded by a BIRN noob for the show. His name is Jared Colacci, and we’re sure he’s very nice. Feel free to drop Matt & Jared an IM or call during the show! We’ll be waiting…….

Oh, almost forgot. Matt wanted to share this Billboard magazine review of the new Jack Johnson album with you….

“Saying that Jack Johnson’s fourth record is languid and breezy is a little like saying the Cubs won’t win it all this year, but “Sleeping Through the Static” takes Johnson’s uber-chill, barefoot-in-a-hammock vibe to new heights–or mediums depending on how you look at such things. Recorded purely with solar energy, “Static” traffic more in earnest, welterweight rock than his usual island-flavored vibe….and it’s pervasive midtempo skeleton is probably slow-rolling enough to completely alienate anyone not already in his camp. (This record will be a mighty tough sell at Coachella.)”

Don’t worry Billboard. Matt’s already all but completely alienated.

Hope to see that you’re listening in from Noon-2pm!!!

Tune into Paradigm Shift this week as Matt and Keeley have the task of being mentors to BIRN newbs Matt Baxter and Mike Kindel. They’ll be guided through the ropes of the BIRN and, more importantly, guided through the ropes of how to attempt to make something as majestic as Paradigm Shift. We’ll see what we can do to get something terribly crazy going.

This week, as the 50th Annual Grammy Awards draw near, we’ve decided to bring in all five songs nominated for “Song of the Year”.

Click your mouse on BIRN Channel 1 from Noon-2pm to join in.
