On this edition of the show, I added new music for both rap and rock music.  This show was a lot more old-school rap based as I played music from rap artists like Nice n’ Smooth, Big L, Public Enemy, and plenty more.  You can expect this more often on my show, as I will give you the best mix of rap and rock of the 90s, 100% guaranteed!!!!

I also talked about a rumor about a possible Who-Led Zepplin supergroup. That’s right, Roger Daltrey of The Who and Jimmy Page of Led Zepplin are discussing a possibility of have a Who-Led Zepplin supergroup! Roger Daultry has said he wants to start this band and incorporate a lot more blues than usual, which is a lot different from the sound heard from The Who and Led Zepplin.  So this will be interesting to see when it all plays out in the end.

I gave information on the extended U2 360 tour happening from this summer all the way throughout October.  U2 will be playing all over the United States, from East coast to West coast, and beyond.  For those U2 fans out there, make sure you get your tickets because they will be tough to miss this summer.

On last week’s show, I added the “Band of the Day” segment as was scheduled.  I talked all about the band Soundgarden and gave a brief history of them, followed by an update on their reunion tour.  Soundgarden will be headlining the Lollapalooza Tour with Pearl Jam and Them Crooked Vultures, and will be announcing summer tour dates shortly.

On today’s edition of my show, I mixed it up a little more and added more rap than rock for once.  I also had a lot to talk about with music news, and talked about the Deftones new album coming out on May 18th,and their new single, “Rocket Skates.”

I also talked all about Alice in Chains and how ex-bassist Mike Starr is holding up on the VH1 show, “Celebrity Rehab.” As usual I played the best rock and rap of the 90s, one of the best music decades.

Hey everybody!  So last week I was not able to do my show due to the inclement weather, and I bet everyone was upset there was no school.  Just kidding.  So this week I will be adding my “Artist of the Day” segment and talk about a certain band and give a brief history behind them and talk about what they are doing now.  The band will be announced tomorrow.

Also, I will give my usual concert updates and music news as I do every show.  Most of all, I will be playing your favorite music of the 90’s so make sure you stay tuned  from 3-4 tomorrow afternoon on WGMU radio.

On George Mason University’s one and only radio station WGMU I have a show called “The True Raprock Hour” with Alex Howard every Thursday from 3-4 pm.  Anyone who has any taste in music should tune in because each week I play the best blend of 90’s grunge, alternative, and old school rap.

Maynard James Keenan of Tool

Artists like Jane’ Addiction and 2Pac were played this past week, for example.  Also, I give concert updates, music news, and starting next week I will have an “Artist of the Day” segment where we will take a look back on how a certain band made it big and got to where they are now.  This past Thursday I discussed the band Tool and how they are working on a new album and what lead singer Maynard James Keenan is working on currently

Also, I gave information the on Dave Matthew’s Band summer tour and gave dates on where they will be playing.  Each week I will have something new to talk about, so it’s good to tune in.
