Quarantine Takeover – Saleem
Sunday, July 26th, 2020 by The Professor
This week’s Quarantine Takeover is a study in the sounds of Hip Hop protest. Saleem is bringing back the songs that inspired him and will keep protesters fueled up to demand change in the world. I could introduce him to you as Saleem the emcee, or I could introduce you to him as Saleem the producer. However I think the most apropos title would be Saleem, the dopest emcee on production! Starting out with an ASRX-PRO and a microphone, Saleem has been blazing his trail through hip-hop’s indie scene for several years. Performing with luminaries such as Common, The Roots, KRS-One, Rakim, and The Wu-Tang clan, to name a few, tends to hone and sharpen your skills. These experiences led him to craft his highly regarded debut album, Hip-Hop Revisited. A bold title for a bold project that served as a welcome, and refreshing, introduction into the world of this multifaceted artist; or as one writer described him, “The embodiment of hip-hop’s evolution.”

Retro Rocking Road Show – The Terrible Twos
Friday, July 24th, 2020 by The Professor
This Weeks Theme: The Terrible Twos
Featured Artists: The Beatles, Credence Clearwater Revival, WAR, Billy Joel, ABBA, and Journey
Every week Retro Eddie puts together a uniquely themed show for Friday night 7-9pm. He is not immune to having fun with the themes, or digging deep for tunes back to the beginning of recorded music. This week Eddie explores the bands that came oh-so-close but didn’t crack the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. Firmly lodged at #2 and climbing no higher – some of these tracks were so pervasive it will surprise you they never logged that all important #1 hit.
Did you tune into to the the Retro Rockin Roadshow last Friday? If you did we hope you enjoyed the theme of “the 60’s”. If you missed it you can always check out the playlists from past shows on the show page!

Quarantine Takeover – Doc Pine & Bobby
Tuesday, July 21st, 2020 by The Professor
This week we lost control of the studio to Doc Pine and his tiny sidekick Bobby. We’re not sure how but sit back and enjoy Bobby giving Doc Pine the respect he deserves. Doc Pine combines creepy old Appalachian music, off kilter honky-tonk, murder ballads, yodeling, heavy rock jingles, and junkyard blues stomps in the hope of one day getting invited to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. He claims his songs “have been filtered through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal, which imparts a distinct smoothness to the music.” He has been cleared of all charges pertaining to a Louisiana bank heist in the summer of ‘09.
