My show this Thursday (April 15th) will be a "Funky Reggae Party". It will be a short overview of some of the music that originated in Jamaica, so you'll hear ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub and DJ toasting. If you don't know what toasting sounds like, you'll have to tune in to hear what some music historians claim helped shape the beginnings of rap and hip-hop. Jamaican music has had a huge influence on all kinds of popular music, and this show will introduce you to those influences.
For my first blog entry, I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be doing a special edition of The ABYSS on Monday, as I have the day off of work. Please join me for some post-Morning Meltdown madness (not really, this show will be a mix of downtempo, hip-hop and electronica).
I will also be dubbing it up with Dave on Thorium Sericulture this Tuesday night from 6-8 P.M., and I'll be in my regular Thursday slot (8-10 P.M.) this week. This week's show will be "an excursion on the version", and will feature remixes and extended versions of songs from the 70s to the present day.
I'm baaack.
Tune in tomorrow am for a genre hopping ride . I've spent the last couple of weeks in the heat, so the meltdown cometh with ease.
Tune in for Nightmares on Wax, Beastie Boys, She & HIm, G love and a bit of Hawaiian guitar ala Jake Shimabukaro.
