A Sawng Round-table at Geek Beat Radio

Last Monday, Geekbeat Radio hosted a “Let's Write a Sawng” Roundtable on air. Let's Write A Sawng was a Rivers Cuomo project, collaborating with his fans, via his youtube channel, on a song. There were more than 10 writers of the song, each adding small parts to the song (from the lyrics, to the melody, to the title, to the chords).

As a participant in the “Sawng” project, Geekbeat host, Rob, invited several of the other contributors onto the show to discuss how they got involved in the project, what their part was, and a spotlight on their own musical endeavors, as well.



You can listen to the podcast here, and you should also add Geek Beat as a friend on facebook.

As always you can hear Boston local music streaming on UNregular Radio every day so tune in!

Bookworms Rejoice - There's a Show For You

UNregular Radio is known for bring your the best in local music from all genres, but did you know that once a week we bring 2 hours especially for all our literature loving listeners.

Words and music, hosted by Anne (with her brother, Alex, running the board), is about the books they love, some they hate, with a few tunes mixed in. Anne invites her “co-horts” onto the show to discuss prose, news, and local events (in October, they reviewed the Boston Book Festival, which you can listen to here).

Anne said they try to stick to one particular theme each week, but they do go off on tangents as they come up organically. And it works. Even if you're not a literary buff, you can easily get caught up in the host and guests' own stories about their most beloved books.

Kelly: Did you read 100 years of solitude?
Anne: You mean 100 years of time it took to read that I'll never get back..

Words and Music is on Sundays from 11am-noon, only on UNregular.

Some Sort Of TBLMS Recap -- by Dex Ter

The Boston Local Music Shows Dex Ter here with some sort of review, recap, or rant regarding things.

I currently sit here at UnRegular Radio watching blizzardous amounts of snow fall.  Jumping on air randomly only to get pissed off at the Bret Favre issue.  Or Non-issue.  Either way, it's Wednesday and I'm nestled in the cleavage of 2 ridiculous Boston Local Music shows.

Tuesday we had musical performances by, and chats with, DOUG MACDONALD, and LIFE ON HOLD, followed by a live performance and no chat by FURIOUS GEORGE.  Pretty epic.  Mr. Happy popped by, and my new friend D (the saint that found and returned my phone) swung through and enjoyed the air!!  Mr. Crespo's punk ass just about ruined everything by being there as well.  So all in all, a full day.  We also had Josh, owner of RAW ROLLING PAPERS, call in and give us a history of rolling paper.  We also got into a pre-discussion about the movie COLLAPSE.  People, I can't stress it enough, watch this movie.  There will be much more discussion on it coming up.

Thursday will be no joke as well. STARS ABOVE will be here.  OLD EDISON (full band (if SQUALLIE GREENTHUMB can hobble his cripple ass into the studio (we have a wheelchair waiting!))) THE PITY WHORES, and MUDFLAP JUNIOR JONES will also be in the house!! Expect, as always, the good Doctor John Loftus and myself.  I can't foresee avoiding Mr. Crespo's presence as well! Make sure you tune in Noon-4pm EST.

Fully Focused Radio - Boston Local Hip Hop on UNregular Radio

UNregular radio is known for bringing you the best local music and most of you probably think that just means your typical indie rock garage jam band. Boston, however, has a bevy of diverse and talented artists, including a thriving rap and hip hop scene.

Every Wednesday evening from 4:30 to 6:30pm, Fully Focused Radio brings you the only the sickest Boston Hip Hop talent. Fully Focused is hosted by a brother-sister duo, Tha Kid and Lyssa, whose main goal is to bring the local hip hop community together and work towards making Boston known for its talent. Both Tha Kid and Lyssa have been making their own music as well. Lyssa is a singer, while Tha Kid's had his hands in multiple aspects of the industry (rapping, producing, and writing among other things). 

Herbals passed freely between the guests and hosts providing plenty of fodder for jokes and allows for the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Lyssa said fans of the show have told her they feel like they get a contact high just from listening.

Last week, The Real Soulja Boy “SB” and Shizzie stopped by to smoke some blunts and talk about their new music, which you can listen to on myspace, or buy their album, TRSB 2 | The Sequel, on iTunes. And this week you can catch Conway The Gent in the studio.

We're sure you can't get enough of Fully Focused, so you can find them on Facebook, or follow Lyssa on twitter. 

Listen to Fully Focused Radio every Wednesday from 4:30pm to 6:30pm EST on UNregular Radio
