The Awkward Off Radio Show 12.2.2009

December 3, 2009

KVRX had a premium dose of HIP-HOP on The Awkward Off Radio Show today. Guest DJ Chad Brock educated us about the genre’s history and variety as we explored the connections between producers, labels, and rappers and the diversity of sound within this genre.

My favorite moment of the show was listening to Blackalicious rap through the alphabet–incredible! I learned a ton–hope you did too!

Join me next Wednesday 5PM-7PM(central) as we talk to Barrett Klein about the science of sleep and honeybees–only on www.kvrx.org.

In accordance with KVRX music policy, we started off the hour with a look into the diversity of genres that KVRX radio has to offer. The rest of the hour was hip-hop filled.

Did you know?

THE AWKWARD OFF has an online RADIO SHOW on KVRX in AUSTIN,TX.

It takes place every WEDNESDAY 5PM-7PM (CENTRAL).

To celebrate the harvest bounty, yesterday’s show featured music (new and old) for which I am thankful.

Next week’s show will feature CHAD BROCK as a guest-DJ. Join me as Chad educates us about great underground HIP HOP (new and old). We will explore how the genre is shaped both historically and sonically. We invite both the hip hop savvy and clueless to join as we investigate the rich culture of this genre.
