Contest update: Wow I'm in the lead (Two votes! yessss, thanks mom), and I didn't even vote for myself, unlike some other people ahem... lol. Vote for the cutest Freq, to your right! Just some fun ish for you and us. We like fun. It should go without saying but, ladies only please ;) (not like we'll know).
I've got to big up one of my fav MC's period. Marvel. He passed through last night to let us know bout his album "No Streets" (I highly recommend). Dude is another one of these talented Canadian cats that so few know about. I wish we could do more that just write about and play these joints, people have to hear these cats. I feel like Canada is a wasteland for "urban" music. Would artists like Saukrates, Jully Black, Mathematik, Rochester be bigger if they were from the States? Hmmm. Well, we'll just keep carrying the torch for the dopness that is here and spread the word as best we can. Man like Kardi, do you thing!!
Here's some crazy ish. OK I'm not a health nut, I have the occasional Big Mac or fried chicken, but check out this list of heart attack inducing meals put together by Forbes magazine. These are real meals people, how bout the Philly Taco, a Philly cheese steak wrapped in a slice of pizza! All you need is to deep fry that bad boy, mmmmmm. This is the best, named after the late great Luther Vandross, the Luther Burger is a bacon cheeseburger served between two Krispy Kreme glazed donuts. OMG! Obesity problem, what obesity problem? Check the rest of the list.
Remember to check us on the web at our various other locales, the links are to the right, just like the voting, hee hee.

blog, blog, blog...
Just replace real, real, real with blog lol! What up Real Freqs, yes you, if you're a regular listener then you're a Freq too. Welcome to our Flow 93.5 blog. What to say, What to say, hmmmm...
Last nights show, our usual underground type heat, new joints from Wu-Tang, Cassidy, Little Brother, etc, etc. But lets talk about before the show. From time to time we do interviews they're usually recorded before the show, so we come in a bit early. Yesterday myself and Arcee came in at 9 to do an interview with Peanut Butter Wolf, Stones Throw Records head man. Stones Throw is probably the biggest independent Hip Hop label left. You might remember them from such records as, Jaylib, MED, Oh No, Madlib and the re-release of Jay-Dee's Ruff Draft, so dude has a wealth of knowledge and man like Arcee was eager to pick his brain.
Now doing interviews, especially over the phone is always crap shoot, it's 50/50 they actually call. We've already had our share of non-calls, it's maaaaaad annoying! So we're there, on time, set up, we're good to go. Waiting, waiting, waiting. It's 9:15, so I put in a call to our man who set it up, "yo, he ain't called", reply "Ok I'm on it." Cool. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Text time, "what up?". Waiting, waiting, waiting. Man I left my house early and am missing Monday Night Football for this? Arcee is like, dude I could be doing anything else! Waiting, waiting, lets just say we're still waiting. I know dude is a busy man but, let people know what's up. Cancel, re-schedule whatever! Hey, it's his first time so we'll give him a pass for now. Just don't get into the Jazzy Jeff books, or should I say his "manager", there's someone we will never attempt to interview again that's but, another story.
Granted we are not Funkmaster Flex, or Tim Westwood. But spreading the word is spreading the word. If we're taking the time and effort to help promote you and what you're doing, no matter how big or small the market is, as an artist that has put in work to get to where you are, you should respect that time. Things happen, yes, but put in a call, you got assistants and whoever that can call if you can't. Whatever, I'm just venting cause I could have used the extra "couchful bliss" time at home.
I did get a call this morning from the rep here apologizing, so that's nice, (Thanks Jay we know you're trying) we'll try it again next week.
Need more Freqs? Here's what you do:
1. Missed a show? Want to hear it again? Go here.
2. What else are we interested in? Check our Real Freq blog here.
3. Want to get our newsletter? Sign up here.
And keep checking us every Monday right here on Flow baby! Oh sorry, the New Flow, yeah!
