Inaugural Post

Yo, what's going on everybody. This is going to be the official blog and website for Machine Gun Funk, the hip-hop radio show based in Boston University. I'm Evan Agovino, one of the show's DJ's. Andrew Marles is the show's other host/permanent special guest. The show is going to be on from 8 am-10 am every Friday until mid-December. We want to bring you hip-hop from all angles, whether it's underground, mainstream, old-school, new, whatever. As long as it's hot, it'll get some play on the show.

The purpose of the blog is two-fold. First, we want to get the name of our show out there. Even though the show is based in Boston University, we function solely as an internet radio show. We don't get actual airtime in Boston, so the show is not Boston-centric at all. On the blog, we'll talk about the show-we'll post tracklists and mp3s of the show after they're done and preview them when they're completed. If we're having a special theme show, then we'll talk about it beforehand and even let the public decide some of the songs that we'll be chosen. For example, if we're having a Wu-tang tribute show we can let people who read the blog pick their favorite Wu-tang songs of all time and we'll play them on the show.

The second purpose of the blog is to act like a hip-hop blog. Besides posting stuff related to the show, we'll post hot songs that leak or our thoughts on anything when they happen. Even if for some reason you choose not to listen to the show, you can still read this as a hip-hop blog and get a lot out of it.

For the time being, I'll try to fix up the site but add it to your Google Readers or whatever you use to look at blogs. Our first show is going to be Friday at 8 AM. If you want to listen live, I'll get back to you with more information of how to contact us/listen to the show, but if you won't be able to listen live I should have mp3's of the show up Saturday afternoon. So stay tuned, cause we're about to take over. Otherwise...innocent!
