st-st-t-utter

Stutter - Joe

WHOA! Remember Now That's What I Call Music? Well here's a little gem from vol. 8. Man, I always begged my mom to buy them for me back in the day.

I think they are still releasing new ones...what, is up to volume 40 now? haha.

Actually I just looked it up and I wasn't too far off...NOW 35 is new for this fall!

in honor of today

Do you remember? The 21st night of September?

Such a great song.

Unfortunately, I don't think music will ever be as good as it was in the 70's.

September 99 - Earth Wind and Fire (Phats & Smalls remix)

This particular remix (circa 1999) is very similar to the original, with just a slightly faster tempo and more defined bass line. In fact, it's pretty hard to tell the two apart.

I'm going to try and switch from youtube videos to linking mp3's directly. So when you press play, (if you haven't figured it out already) a little box pops up at the bottom of the screen that plays the song, a la Yahoo Music player. Let's see how that goes...

Also, I found this really cool website called The Hype Machine. Check it out when you have a chance

monday madness

Just finished reading the 50 page manual on the ins and outs of being a member of WRCT.

1) I am insanely proud of myself for actually paying attention and completing it in under 2 hours

2) I have no idea how I'm going to remember everything for the membership test I'll have to take


I am beginning to conjure up possible names for my potential DJ show that I will hopefully have. Someday. Hah. Feel free to comment with any ideas...lmao.

ANYWAYS:

Upon searching for the youtube video for today's song of the day, I was instantly disgusted. First he uses song titles from Jefferson Airplane. Then Third Eye Blind. AND NOW HALL & OATES?!?!

IS ANYTHING SACRED ?!?!

I hate Justin Bieber.

Presenting Daryl Hall and John Oates: Rich Girl




@ Justin Bieber: You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far.


This better not happen again.

updates

So, I've seriously been slacking on posting here...probably due to the fact of my insane workload brought on by junior year of mechanical engineering at CMU. But, it builds character, so I'll keep calm and carry on.

Anyways, I'm going to a meeting for our school's radio station tonight and hopefully it will go well. It's the first of many steps on my journey to hosting/DJ'ing my own radio show. Then, I will be able to play forgotten songs every day! Muahahahahahaha!

I recently came across this little gem by Blackstreet. circa 1996.
