Written by Moboman
How do you do lady’s and gentleman? I trust everyone everyone is enjoying the music. How do we do?-- with lots of help--After too many daze, our summer maintenance is done and finished and we are back on the air. Yea! Thanks to all the techs who keep us going and especially faculty member jefe Wagman for keeping things rolling. We couldn’t do this without him advocating for us here at KCTY Long Beach California. Spring is over and we are presenting some great music you haven’t heard yet on our station as well as encore performances of some of the greatest independently produced shows our own DJ’s have created this spring. Listen throughout the summer please, at your convenience and keep the music going. Tell your friends about our great programming and remember to listen come Fall to new brand knew shows known before they were even produced by that power that fuels all music. Know what I’m talking about? Just keep listening Read more for the Borrowed Tunes playlist from 5-11-09 called “All Apologies” featuring three versions of the song, the original Nirvana version, Sinead’s, and Herbie Hancock blues up his varshun, all apologies . . .

Moboman Says "WTF?" (Was That Fun?)

Written by The Moboman

Hey WTF? Was that fun? Not!

Our live broadcasts are still playing as regularly scheduled, BUTT Our computer DJ Otto Play crashed with our pre-programmed shows and music so unfortunately we have been off the air a lot becaused it was removed without notification instead of being fixed by our LBCC admin tech guy. We thought it was stolen, but it was just confiscated. Swear, it was not because of lots of swearing!

Soon, one will be back and we shall be on the air 24/7 again by Thursday, letting it all hang out for all our summertime musical edification. Damn that Hal type glitch in our system.

Thanks to our faculty advisor The WAGMAN for all his help this semester and getting DJ Otto Play out of the grips of that damned Hal.

See you on the radio on your computer--Mobo

Bored as hell?

Written by Allyn Tygrrr

Yeah, me too.

That's why I'll be occupying the full 2 hours and then some playing/listening to my highly questionable 'on location' conversation with my friend Mike recorded earlier this week.

He was one of my closer friends back when I went to college at Texas A&M back in the day, and provides a very blunt reference point for how WTF? LA has made me.

Thanks Hollywood!

(facepalm)

I know everyone is supposed to put on 'fronts' about how great they are while hiding all the flaws...but apparently I still simply refuse to accept operating that way...and he lets me know how stupid I look for doing so.

Sue me.

If you know me, know of me, or have been listening for any period of time, this conversation might actually come across as 'normal'.

Perish the thought...

AES

Bonus! --> Only one distinct FCC FAIL during the entire 2 hours (that has been pre-corrected). That must be some kind of record?

Borrowed Tunes Tease 5-11, playlist 5-4 Did U hear what I heard?!!

Written by The Moboman

This Monday at 3 –5 pdt :
Playing Dread Zeppelin’s 1990 release “Un-Led-Ed” a mixture of Zeppelin songs done in a reggae style with vocals by Elvis impersonator Tortelvis This unique band creates a sonic landscape that is unprescedented and transcends any tribute band.

Our go-to album is Dylan’s new release “Together Through Life” an exciting treatise by this 70 year old songwriter, and you gotta love an album that features accordian and three piece drum set.

Also playing an album one listener shared with me of Van Morrison's 1967 New York Session work. Very grooved out. Very Borrowed Tunes. Thanks Mark

Check it out this Monday at 3-5, Borrowed Tunes with your host, me. I’m the Moboman
