From Natalie Colarossi, 12 p.m. EST to 3 p.m. EST
This week, I’m bringing some of my favorite rap, funk, and punk to the radio free air waves. And of course, a little classic rock ‘n’ blues to keep things interesting.
I’m thinkin’ Nas. A Tribe Called Quest. Ziggy Stardust. And if we’re lucky, I might even sprinkle in some Maggot Brain and Shuggie Otis.
Tune in for a wild set.
From DJ Grumpy Grandma, 3 p.m. EST to 6 p.m. EST
I’m not at my typical early morning slot this weekend, and that’s probably a good thing since I’ll be up late grooving to Guerilla Toss at The Union Friday night! I promise to not get too wrapped up in Friday night shenanigans, though, my friends, and will most definitely deliver a fine radio show Saturday afternoon.
I impulsively bought tickets to see Paul Simon last Monday night in Pittsburgh, so I imagine I’ll be spinning some of Paul’s lesser known great works, like “Stranded in a Limousine,” “Once Upon a Time There Was a Mountain,” and the like.
