WRVU 1953 - 2010??

New Fall show time: Saturdays 21:00 - 22:00.

SO, if you don't know what's been the talk of the town recently concerning WRVU, here's a brief run down. Vanderbilt Student Communications (the people in charge of WRVU) are considering selling the broadcasting license and making it online radio only. That's the basic info. If you want to read more about it click on this link. http://www.vandymedia.org/wrvu/ If you want to do something about it, you can go to the bottom of the linked page and voice your opinion there. PLEASE LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! No one at the station wants to see WRVU die. I will continue to post more info on here as I know it.

WRVU 1953 - ∞

I know I said this would be up last night, but.... didn't happen. The show was rando for sure. If you missed it, just plug this link into Real Player and you can listen to my latest show: http://media-srv1.its.vanderbilt.edu/ramgen/wrvu/archive/backchannel.rm

So, here are some links for the videos from last night

Double Rainbow:


Double Rainbow song that I played:



Double Rainbow Auto-Tuned (not played on air):


Antoine Dodson (they rapin' errbody out here) original video:


Antoine's reaction to being efamous (not played on air). Note the fact they censor him saying the word ass, then talk about how he shouldn't be censored from telling his message. WTF?!:


Antoine song I played:


I should write more, but I'm not gonna. Ha. I will leave you with one more video, though. Please vote for this guy tomorrow...

As I mentioned on the show tonight, there's lots of stuff that I'm gonna post. All rando and pointless. Just like life. ha

This is a good review of the last Riverdales record that came out in the fall.

(more on the 27th greatest band of all time) Please don't believe reviews of Tarantula (their newest record). Totally bogus. Just get the album yourself!

Just listened to the Beastie Boys Record Store Day 12" single. Daft Punk samples?! Oh yeah.

I went to Grimey's for a bit, but wasn't there too long. I was at one of the check-points for the first alley-cat of the spring. I just sat outside Yazoo (the new place is great, btw) for a while and drank and chatted with some people from Denmark. It was very "laterly." Then went to a cook-out, drank some more beers, had some food, and ended up calling 911 for the second time in my life. We saw this woman wreck her car by where we were. She was okay, but not excited. We think she hit the gas instead of the brake and she destroyed a sign and almost hit a house. Crazy stuff.
