SUCH A TIT

Wow, I have been slacking majorly on updating this thing. I apologize, but so much has happened in the past 3 weeks that I am unsure of my abilities to put every detail into words. I'll try my damnedest though.

March 30th:

This show was butt themed, mostly because I was having a crap day and didn't have the mind power to think of something more clever. Whatever, everybody has a butt, so everybody can related, right? All those jams are pretty solid, but I highly recommend that P.O.S. track, and if you are into more alternative shit, that entire Wax Tailor album "Hope & Sorrow" is LEGIT.

April 6th:This show was literally BONKERS. First of all, XXXTina and DJ SuperSillyus were in the building... that in itself is always wonderful. Second of all, The Vader Boys dropped by to promote the Chinatown Throwdown that happened at Harper's Ferry, and they were such a pleasant surprise. Thirdly, the crazy-ass duo known as Physha-P called in with the help of their manager Simon and HOLY SHIT, that was a silly conversation. One of the highlights was the discovery of my jitterbox. Changed my life really. Stay tuned to see if Physha-P and The Throwbacks end up having an Upstate show sometime in the near future.

Thanks to technology (and wizkid Robert Sesek), you can re-hear the magic of the Physha-P interview by clicking HERE.

Also, if you haven't already, definitely check out Louis Logic. He's the kind of dude that makes you smile a little bit to yourself when you listen to it walking down the street.

April 13th:
This show was pretty solid. Chris Faraone, writer for the Boston Phoenix, among other publications, came by and literally dropped an entire truckful of knowledge on us. It was almost too much to handle, but with the help of some "apple juice", we managed to have a pretty kick-ass time. Honestly, take a look at Chris' "Get Sprung" article for the freshest hip-hop in season for spring. He had also requested that Quite Nyce & Raydar Ellis track, and I am glad he did because I had met them a couple days beforehand and they are GREAT individuals, not to mention a tight duo on stage. Watch out for "Champs vs. The League"! Unfortunately, Akrobatik had an emergency to tend to, so he wasn't able to make it. Maybe next time.

As I was walking home with my friend Ryan last night from the New Boston Talent show, he was asking me if I have ever heard of so-and-so or this-and-him and so on. Of course, I hadn't. There is SO much music circulating in the atmosphere I cannot possibly know of it all. But, that's where you can help me! Please, do not hesitate to throw new music my way! I love new shit! Send me some RIGHT NOW! ..WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?

More to come,

Why Karma Is A Bitch: It's Lassie.

Oh hey, didn't see you there.

So, the show last night was really great. Big up to Francis Pina for stopping by the station, and also to Jack Nicas for calling in, even though he is a lazy bum. They were promoting the Speak For Yourself show, "Bring It Onomatopoeia", which is going to be on FRIDAY, March 27th, 7-9 PM, in Photonics Rm. 206 (really, really nice room). And I also just realized the BU Step Team X-Ception is going to be there, too. Rad!

In addition to all that fun we had with Francis and Jack, we also made some new friends last night. A girl named Sara, apparently a model from Chicago, tuned in last night and was convinced I was a human Tickle-Me-Elmo with special snort enhancements, but we appreciated her attention regardless.

And at the very end of the show, an anonymous PIKE brother called in, because he was not very happy with the way we were referring to frat boys in relation to Mardi Gras shouts (or rather Unpopular Mardi Gras Shouts, thanks to McSweeney's Lists). I apologized for offending him, and he said that we should come to their "Fast and Furious" Party this Saturday to see "what frat boys are really like". However, I cut him a deal and said that if he brought a couple brothers to the Rapper Steph/Burnt MD/Dead Prez show, of which I had been priorly engaged to, that we would show up to the F&F party.

(organ music plays in the background)
WILL PIKE PULL THROUGH AND REFORM THE STEREOTYPE OF FRAT BOYS EVERYWHERE? WILL JACK RECOVER FROM BEING EATEN BY A PACK OF WILD BOARS? WILL THE HARDY BOYS SOLVE THE CASE OF THE SPILLED MILK? IF YOUR BUSH IS YOUR "CARPET" AND YOUR HEAD-HAIRS ARE YOUR "DRAPES", THEN ARE YOUR ARMPIT-HAIRS YOUR "WINDOW SHADES IN THE FOYER"? YOUR "BEDSKIRT"?
WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE WEEKEND TO FIND OUT...

Anyway, here's the playlist:

Please note: I played that Joell Ortiz song as requested from Mr. Pina.
Check out Rapper Steph's, Burnt MD's, and DP's myspaces for a taste of what's to come SATURDAY, March 28th, 9 PM @ HARPER'S FERRY. Tickets are $20, but I mean, c'mon, have you SEEN this line-up?! (psst, click here for the entire line up). Worth every penny.

And besides, I'LL BE THERE WITH BELLS ON! REAL BELLS!

See you this weekend,
Dowy Geywl

(p.s. more fun)

FRESHMEN 15

Hey ya'll, sorry this is so late but I had somewhat of a stress week post-Monday.
Here is the playlist from our Fr3$Hm3n 15 show (click to enlarge):

Like I said in the message, these are OUR personal opinions on who WE think is really making an impact on hip-hop today. If YOU differ and would like to share your thoughts, call into the next show, or message me, or, I dunno, tickle my belly, whatever will make you feel good (unless your thoughts include Lil' Wayne, then you can go drink a hot cup of shutthefuckup).

Also, side note: If you came to Paper last night to see The Throwbacks, give yourself a big pat on the back. Everybody who came out to support is a real pal. I at least hope you got to enjoy my Ft.Laudy-Goin-To-Da-Club-May-See-Some-Side-Boob outfit I was sporting. I know I did!

Going to see The Knux @ BU Central tonightz and Canibus tomorrow. There are seriously SO many shows coming up, I have no idea what to do with myself. Let me know if you ever want to join me!

Enjoy yer weekend, partypeeple,
DG

LOOPY WITH GOUT

For those of you who tuned in last night and listened to my pathetic lil' self play some chill beats, I thank you from the bottom of my sickly heart. At least I hope you enjoyed the jams, as well as the interview with George Reefah (http://www.georgereefah.com/main.html). Here is the playlist I promised you:


Sorry if they are a little out of order, but if you liked one song in particular but forget what it was called, you can sing a couple bars for me and I will deduce what song that is for ya. Three tracks were from the album Mushroom Jazz 6, produced by Mark Farina, and it is awesome to kick back and relax to. That old Outkast song and basically any Nappy Roots song really embody some down-home, southern hip-hop, you can almost feel the humidity listening to it sometimes.

In conclusion, I mean it when I say FUCK YOU, FEBRUARY, you poor excuse for a month. For those of you with a birthday in February, Happy Belated Birthday and whatever, but this month was 70% HELL for me. Next Monday will be the beginning of March, and I only have high hopes for what this month could bring.

Stay fresh,
Dory

100%

Well, last night really did turn into Texas Pete's Rootin', Tootin' Pulled Pork 'n' Fellatio Funfactory. I finally figured out a good way to share the show, so CLICK HERE for last night's.

Use wisely, or else.

And of course, here is last night's playlist:

Although I really liked all the songs from last nights show (even the ones the interns picked out! ;) those are the last 3), I gotta say that Louis Logic and AmpLive have been all up in my ears for the past couple of days, so I highly recommend them. PackFM, D Willz (Olivia's big bro) and Camp Lo's tracks are pretty dancey, and for a more mellow feel, try Dela's recent collab. with Talib Kweli or The Roots classic song with Erykah Badu.

Also, Rob Uslan (aka Super Sillyus) has enlightened me to the magic that is StumbleUpon. If you use Mozilla Firefox, you NEED to get this Add-On. Just google "stumbleupon" and d/l from there. It's opened my world to things like this:

Balls.

Wow. I guess I just can't get a break.
Well, if you were trying to listen to tonight's show, but only heard sports coverage of the Beanpot, that's because my show was preempted. By hockey. Really?

I mean, I guess I'm not the most school-spirited individual, and I guess BU did win and everything... but I had a really fuckin' SWEET show lined up.
And, I also most likely failed a Japanese exam today.
Oh, and I also woke up with 15 bedbug bites on my legs and back.
Not to mention that I was running on 3 hours of sleep.

Needless to say, I was kind of looking forward to doing WCD tonight..
Damn. It.

So in lieu of the show, I had some intern-bonding time at the GSU. The intern-grilling will have to wait until next week.
For those of you who tried anyway, I promise that the next show *which may be on Tuesday, the 17th, because of Prez's Day* will be well worth your while.

Somebody buy me a rabbit's foot. Or maybe an entire rabbit leg.

Peace,
Dory

this video did succeed in cheering me up. if you are feelin' as blue as me, i recommend it.

Post-Meth-isode Blues

Hey ya'll,

So two Thursdays ago, I had the extreme pleasure of seeing The Roots battle Antibalas at the Red Bull Soundclash at the Roxy. It was a grand ol' time, partly because I was there for UGHH.com and had a fancy press sticker and got to shmooze with some great individuals, and partly because I was FUCKED UP. Two behind-the-counter Sudafeds, two Exedrins and four vodka & Red Bulls later, I was feelin' A-okay, even after The Roxy decided to close coat-check and refuse to give me my coats back, forcing me to travel home cold and alone.

The next day, however, I realized that all those fun things that I ingested the night before resulted in a psuedo-Meth episode -- a Meth-isode. Reminder: DO NOT EVER MIX THOSE TOGETHER. EVER. I wasn't looking very cute when I was trying to eat breakfast while having body shakes in Warren dining hall. That was the top of the hill, and from there my health rolled very rapidly downward and I was very sick for a couple days.

The main point of this is that if you were listening last Monday anytime after 9 PM and heard weird and probably mediocre music coming out of your computer, that's because I was so sick that I had to cut my show short. Even though my darling friends Zach Kohn (Slow Kids member), Julian Glander (Faber College Radio), Martin Morales (Mr. COM), Jeremy Hetherington (Where do you summer?) and Liz Alfonso (Intern 1) all came out to support WCD, I was so disfunctional that I had to call it quits half-way in. I apologize for being a turd, and I promise to be 110% for this Monday's show.

For now, here is the playlist from last monday. Please enjoy responsibly.
Love,
Dory
