About the show & some tunes

In honor of Halloween the radio show displayed Halloween related material. Because on Halloween many artist preform covers we decided to also post some covers.

One of the new cool cd's that WQFS just got in rotation is an album by the Delicious Vinyl All-Stars. The Promo reads: "Go back to the future with Delicious Vinyl RMXXOLOGY, an all-new, 15-track album featuring classic tracks by Young MC, The Pharcyde, Masta Ace, The Brand New Heavies, and Fatlip re-imagined by artists including Peaches, Hot Chip, and Eminem. The first two singles from the album are already embedded in the hearts and minds of DJs and party people worldwide: pioneering electro goddess Peaches' sizzling update of Tone Loc's immortal "Wild Thing" and Aaron LaCrate and Debonair Samir's gutter-bumping Baltimore blast of Young MC's "Know How."

Listen: Delicious Vinyl All-Stars - Passing Me By (Hot Chip Remix)

The special broadcast of Count Chocula and friends is also availible for your listening pleasure!
Listen: Count Chocula, Boo Berry, & Frankenberry - The Monsters Go Disco!

Also!! Seeing that it is the Halloween Season you should check out the awesome Halloween Mix on Culture Bully. You can download the whole album for free!! Dj Frog the Dawgs Devil Mix that was featured on my radio show is on the Night of the Living Monster Mashup.
