Play list - 06/28/2007

I spent several hours over the past could weeks trying to fix two of our broken CD players at the station. I was able to get one of the two fixed by replacing some broken parts in it with parts from the other one. So I brought that one back in today and it worked for the whole show, so that was good news!

I played some Bollywood music today and saw a Bollywood movie this weekend. It was called "kuch kuch hota hai" (i think) and was very funny. It can be checked out at the Plaza library, I highly recommend it if you like Bollywood music.

Thanks to The Blind Guy, Bruno, Ray, Gabriel, Mike, and Pat for calling in today!

play list - 06/21/2007 - MC Hammer

Earlier in the week, I got an email highlighting the new video by MC Hammer called "Bring our brothers home." I thought I'd play it on the show, but I couldn't find it for download on iTunes or anywhere. So here it is:


Definitely not an anti-Bush song, but still a pretty bold video. And here's a discussion of it on AlterNet.

So instead, I played some MC Hammer substitute songs and some Public Enemy to at least get some other good political rap in.

Play list - 06/14/2007

Last night we had a station meeting about relocating our tower and transmission equipment. We're considering a location that would be a HUGE improvement over our current one. Our equipment would be in a room in a building instead of in a beat-up trailer on a vacant lot. So that would be great, but also scary, because it would take a lot more money in rent, but would also have many money-saving advantages, like less maintenance. So lots of exciting stuff happening at the station right now.

On to the show.....I played a lot of Latin and Latin remixes today.
