WRFB: Radio Free Brooklyn (Take 2)

What's good people!

Tonight was test show #2 for WRFB: Radio Free Brooklyn and it was another banger! We were without Rob Fields tonight, but he was with in spirit and he will be back in effect for the official launch next Tuesday May 4th.

My theme for tonight was "Covers." I happen to own some pretty incredible cover tunes by unsuspecting artists. Some of the joints I played many of you know and love, but I pulled out a few rare gems. Check the full play list below.

Remember there are so many ways to be in touch with us at WRFB. We are on Twitter, Skype and we have our own blog as well. I'll be posting the link to the show later this week so you can all tune in. I can't forget to shout out Brooklyn Movie Labs because they are the ones that made this all possible. Don't forget that I'm on twitter as well and I'll begin tweeting during the show next Tuesday. So keep up! I'll leave all the links below.

WRFB: Radio Free Brooklyn

What's Up World!!!

Tonight we kicked off the first test run of WRFB: Radio Free Brooklyn straight out of Bed Stuy! It was an amazing night with our hosts Dexter Taylor, Christian John Wikane, Rob Fields and yours truly, Shelley Nicole.

My theme for the night was "My People." Basically I played music from people that I know personally, which was perfect. Below is the play list from the first show and corresponding links so you can hear the artists that I played.

We will officially start broadcasting on May 4th 7-11pm, but in the mean time you can follow Radio Free Brooklyn on Twitter at www.twitter.com/radiofreebklyn. Of course you can follow me on Twitter as well at www.twitter.com/blakbushe.
