Great Matsby's Radio Show 

# posted by DJ Booze Piñata @ 1/30/2006 02:25:00 PM

Went to the WESU staff meeting last night at Wesleyan. I GOTS MAH SHOW!!
Unfortunately, since there were an unprecidented number of new applicants this season a lot of folks didn't get shows. Us newbies that did get shows have to share them in some way. Some people teamed up with others to make a host duo. The guy I'm paired with wanted to stay solo either way, however, so that's fine. Instead it's going to be every other week. That may seem like a raw deal at first but since I've got this new 6:30-7am wakeup for work it's just as well. I'll only miss proper sleep once every 2 weeks. So on my off weeks DJ Dick Erection will be playing "electro-booty" haha. Thus:

Refined Moments with DJ Great Matsby
88.1 fm or online at www.wesufm.org
11:00pm-12:00am
Every other Wednesday, starting February 8.
Request Line: 860-685-7700

I sort of wanted to call the show Booze Pinata or just Party Music but I already wrote "refined moments" on the show application so that's what's going on the printed schedule, as far as I know. I'll just keep with the classy theme then. Right now I"m working on a lil' 30 second kicker to start off each show. I'm going to use the "Moosebumps" instrumental track off the Dr. Octagonecologyst album. If you know it you know it. It's like Bethoven over a hiphop beat. Perfect. Since it's only one hour every two weeks, I'm probably going to consolodate the genres a bit. Instead of playing shit all over the spectrum like I'm fuckin DJ Roygbiv I'll narrow it down. Just not sure yet. I think I'm best with indie rock and hip hop offshoots. I'll probably want to keep the previous show's listeners however, which will be techno, so I'll make a fluid transition if possible. Wednesday is actually the techno block night on WESU. From 6:30-11:00 there's 3 different house/electronic beats shows backtobacktoback. They're all good too and have been with the station forever, so they probably have a big following amongst the druggie rave kids and Europeans of central CT. Anyways, listen in!

Cool, and I will listen, so you can already proclaim your show to be "world famous!" like all the other stupid things that claim that, yet you can live 200km away and have never heard of them.

Yeah Fridays and Saturdays are the reggae/carribean shows. WESU's biggest listener group is the Jamaican community. It's huge. I remember listening one of the DJs back in high school and he's still doing his thing now. Funny thing about reggae DJs ("selectors") is they'll stop a song in the middle and bring it back to the start. Sometimes ad nauseum. It's a weird part of that culture. But yeah I like listening to Calypso music when I'm driving to a party.
