"I've worked at local radio station KSLG-FM for nearly six years, now, and have delivered the Slug Festivities Guide three times-a-day, seven days-a-week, for most of that time," says Topping. "I know what's going on in the local music scene, and I want people to not only care, but also get involved -- leave their house, get out and discover something new. Hopefully my blog will help that happen."

Topping's first official story for the Radio Radio Radio blog was about the New Year's Eve match-up between the Delta Nationals and Rooster McClintock -- a show that was sold out by 4 p.m., the day of the event.

While in the past, Topping has primarily focused on promoting upcoming area shows, through her bi-weekly Scene Noir column in the Times-Standard's Northern Lights section (now found in the Tri-City Weekly) and posting her photos of many of those shows, she's branching out to the occasional CD and (music-related) book review, starting with Lila Nelson's "We Never Came" E.P. and Stewart Copeland's new book, "Strange Things Happen."
