DJ OF THE FORTNIGHT!


Congratulations to Phil Rocco and Lauren Mancuso: the new DJ(s) of the Fortnight!


Phil and Lauren's 'the kitchen sink' is keeping it real every Wednesday from 10 am to 12 pm. Tune in for everything from super creative playlist titles to impersonations of sloths making love. WQHS got to sit down (more like, electronically correspond) with both Phil and Lauren to learn a bit more about them and their show.


WQHS: Just so our Program Director can sleep at night, what is your blood type?
Phil: Just stayin O Posi!!!!!!
Lauren: What I can tell you is that I'm hot blooded. Check it and see. I've got
a fever of a hundred and three. What's that? I shouldn't try to answer all of these questions with Foreigner lyrics? This feels like the first time anyone ever has?

WQHS: If you could be any part of Thom Yorke's body, which one would you be and why?
Phil: The part of his brain that allows him to make out with his pillow.
Lauren: His secondary auditory cortex. Why not?

WQHS: Picture yourself in the middle of a meadow, there is fresh
snow covering the grass but it is slowly melting and your mother is
showing you how to eat the good blades of grass. All of a sudden a
hunter comes and shoots your mother and you are left all alone. What do
you do? Who do you turn to for help? What music do you think could get
you through the day?
Phil: A.) Convince the hunter's wife to go back to art school. B.) Friendly diner waitresses (by which I mean all diner waitresses in Dallas, TX). C.) John Cale singing into a wind tunnel accompanied by Ry Cooder on a slide guitar (pre-recorded).
Lauren: I close my eyes. The Breeders' version of 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' begins to play. My thoughts race. Finally cool and collected, I open my eyes. The song continues to play. Nicholas Cage hands me a shotgun. End scene.

WQHS: So your show's called 'the kitchen sink'. Any particular
affinity to kitchen sinks? What's in the name? (we like the no caps)
Phil: The kitchen sink (tm) is actually a reference to the last recorded words of Chester Arthur Burnett (alias Howlin' Wolf).
Lauren: We'd like to think that you're getting everything but 'the kitchen sink'. This may include on air impersonations of sloths making love, free dinners for two at the Chuck Wagon if the station phone works and you're our lucky caller, or Shel Silverstein singing about quaaludes.

WQHS: Everyone really, really enjoys your show. Really. What color
underwear do you have on and if your underwear could be any band, which
one do you think it would be?
Phil: First off, thanks. Second, black. Third, Big Star.
Lauren: They are white with royal blue stripes and look like they belong to an 8-year-old boy. I do not have underwear synaesthesia, but every time I imagine them, the Bats play.

Check out WQHS.org for the DJ of the Fortnight website and a picture of the happy winners of this fortnight.
Stick around for the next Fortnight and some new DJs to listen to!

Current mood:  animated

Greetings faithful listeners. Hope you're staying warm out there- but just in case you need an extra lil' something, this lil' board of yours is giving you some special lil' DJs to listen to.

Put your hands together for Ms. Mary Kate Stopa and Mr. Dan Goldman. Eleven to noon might sound early, but it's worth waking up for the weekly Geography War (and for the truly intrepid, there's a 10 AM show keeping it real). Thanks for keeping up on our toes, freshmen! And thanks for the crazy themed playlists.

Also- muchas gracias to all who made our show on Friday a success. Door shifts rule!

That's all for now, folks. Please: keep it real.

Salutations -

You know what this email means- another overwrought announcement of the glorious DJ
of the Fortnight. Well, here it comes....

All hail the supreme duo, Brooke Palmieri and Joyce Lee! Their show, Talk Talk, features a
mix of discussion and tunes. Callers come on throughout the show to offer outside
opinions on profound questions like love, feelings, self-confidence, and the Gilmore Girls.
So take note: they'll be on this evening from 10-11.

Take care-

Current mood:  chipper

Time keeps on slippin' (slippin') into the future, and you know what that means- a fortnight has passed, and a new DJ reigns supreme. Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for Mr. David Gottlieb! He's WQHS's brand spanking new DJ of the fortnight.

Tune in to his show Nights On The Symphony every Thursday night from 10 till midnight. Broaden your horizons, finally finish your bio homework, or polish off that bottle of Yellow Tail- classical music can do it all. And for those in the know, there's always world music at the end (see, we know our DJs!).

Congrats, David, and take heed, DJs- some day, all of this can be yours.

Salutations, DJs and listeners. Hope you're rocking yourselves along.

We've got some big news here: DJ of the Fortnight is here, and it's got it's own webpage! The first winners for the 2008 fall term are Mr. Nils Dahl and Mr. Max Hass! Be sure to tune into their show, Bully Ballads and Gorilla Grooves on Monday nights from ten p.m. till midnight.

So, that's the good word. Thanks for tuning in, and keep it real (really).

Hello wide web world-

WQHS is now booking shows in the West Philly area. Interested bands, please send us a message on MySpace or shoot an email to promotions at WQHS.org. We will do our best to respond to any requests or questions as soon as possible, but if you don't hear from us within the week, take it as a "thanks but no thanks."

We're planning on doing about one show per month and are primarily interested in booking local bands; if you're from out of town, we'll give you a listen, but it makes it a little more complicated for us.

For us, this is about seeing music we like and getting our name out, and we do our best to pay you well. We don't have any cash on hand so we can't guarantee you anything up front, but we split 100% of door proceeds amongst the bands.

People who have played for us recently/are playing soon are in the Top Friends list. Check it out.

Love,
WQHS.org's three-headed promotions monster
