Rude Boy Radio

[NorwegianWood]

Hey guys, my name is Jake Short, and as of tomorrow, i am hosting a show called Rude Boy Radio via internet radio at www.wku.edu/evolution
playing on Wednesday nights from 8 to 10

the show is primarily Ska, with a bit of pop punk mainly from the 90's. Me and my friends proposed the show because we feel like ska needs to be brought back to life in a way.

Im not a paid DJ, we are only doing this for fans as well as ourselves, since it is internet radio we are not constricted by the FCC and anyone can listen or call in. please give me suggestions as to who and what you would like to hear, I really want this show to be a big success, and in order to do that I want to have direct contact with our fanbase.

hope you guys enjoy it and can get back to me with any feedback

Play Husbands AKA or no care.

Ill see what i can pull up. for the first show we are probably going to mainly be playing alot of popular bands along side some that arent that well known, though definitely not as much, since the show is just starting we want to hook in a large fanbase before we play the more underground stuff.

nonetheless, thanks for the suggestion, if you listen to the show and like it, please try and spread the word, and input is always nice

[JimGray]

Haha, alrite.

bump? i was hoping maybe a little more people would be interested, haha
