Rainy Dawg radio is AMAZING for a college station - the breadth of music on there is stunning and actually gives KEXP a run for their money. Last year saw some AMAZING dj's..the last DJ who did the tuesday electronica show (alex Ruder?) was mind-blowing. Give it a try...you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Yea mon-
Peep this show out. Boyd Main rules....
dj shani also plays excellent electronic sets. i heard she looks like a monkey though. too bad; she sounds hot.
Shani in the Morning (in the afternoon) deff. evolved from playing only nipplerocking blips and boops into playing all hits that haven't hit yet. She's the most on-top-of-things (and hot!) monkey at the RainyDawg Zoo.
shani does NOT look like a monkey at all. unless by monkey you mean unbelievably hot girl. but i guess who cares what she looks like if she spins cool tunes. check her out tuesdays 3-5 pm rainydawg.org!
not to steal the thunder from boyd main... his show rocks!
looking forward to the next one!
How totally stoked am I to be sitting in front of a computer in Guatemala and to finally see an excellent Rainydawg show featured in Line Out! Boyd Main rocks.
