Last show tonight!

All good things must come to an end (temporarily) and tonight is a prime example. This was our first quarter as full-fledged DJs on UCLAradio.com and although the station and its programs were on a month-long hiatus (due to the installation of a new console), we enjoyed every single hour spent in the station. We appreciate all the support and it's truly been a pleasure playing music for our listeners for two-hours every Saturday night. We hope you can tune in to our final show of the school year. We understand that many of you may be studying, so why not take a two hour break and listen in? Or you can listen while you're studying (we promise not to play anything too loud or too distracting). As always, there will be a theme and the only way you can find out what the theme will be is to listen!

Think Big! will be back in the fall and be sure to check the website (www.UCLAradio.com) during the summer for the new fall schedule!

Think Big! loves you,
Samantha

We had a theme initially, but being the wonderful fickle DJs that we are, we quickly dropped the idea. Aaron played a trio of birthday songs for me to choose from and I neglected to include those in the playlist. I'm sure if you're dying to find out Aaron can post the songs up later.
I'm also hoping that we can find a way to post an mp3 recording of our show. I am uneducated with anything related to computer technology so perhaps Aaron can find a way?! Haha, thanks again Aaron for that little birthday surprise and thank you reader for checking out our blog and for listening to our show!

Think Big! loves you,
Samantha

If you're a guest DJ on Think Big! ...

I will probably make you take pictures of the radio station as well as take pictures of me. Ha! Since my sister was a bit hesitant to speak into the microphone, I made her useful by handing over my camera to her. This is what was produced:
The beautiful brand spankin' new console


Hard at work


The 'stache photo (which reminds me, I need a haircut!)


I took this picture of my refridgerator


Hopefully this Saturday Aaron will join me so I can snap some photo of him in action!

Think Big! loves you,
Samantha

in between naps....

hey its Aaron again,

so this past show was AWESOME!!! big ups to Samantha (& her sis) for holding down the show and bringing in a record number of listens: 35,000,000,000 !!!!!! thats right, BILLION, everyone & their mama listened. We also got a show review of 4 stars our of 5 !They said the other star is in the mail & will arrive in 6-8 weeks (bad joke) But still thats more stars than "the devil wears prada" which u know u saw..

oh yea so if your not a myspace whore, & didnt know, there was a secret Maroon 5 show put on in san diego. So i went with some friends to see it. we stood in line for about two hours to get in since it was limited standing room only. So yea we got there and there were already a grip of people in line. I thought we were not going to get in since the venue was just a small youth center. So we stood/sat/squatted in line for about a hour and a half until a group of bald roadies came by passing out wrist bands. We got one...unfortunately there were a whole half block of people behind us that didnt get squat, sucks for them. But newayz we chilled in the street until it was time to go in.

The venue itself was a small youth center across Mira Mesa high school called the epicenter. Maybe only 250 or so people were able to get in. It was standing room only so me and my friends decided to chill in the back where there was a counter top we could post up on instead of being squished standing around on the floor. The crowd was varied...well sorta, a lot of teenagers, some younger kids with their parents, some older 20s/30s. The opening act was a cat named kevin michael or something. He had a good sound , but what killed it for me was his hair. He was a white guy with this freakin big ass curly hair afro. BIG ASS, like braid it or something, for real that took me right out of his set. haha, i think i have a pic. So after the warm up came maroon 5.

I'm not the biggest maroon 5 fan but i dig their sound. They played all their classics from songs about jane, but was kool was hearing their new songs off their yet to be released album. If you like maroon 5, then you'll like the album. It has a slightly different feel but it is unmistakenly maroon 5. I'm downloading the album as we speak :P He also did some original covers/mash ups, See the you tube video at the very bottom of the page.i would have more videos but my batteries were low (dont u hate when that happens?) Overall, it was pretty chill, their was a fight that broke out, crazy, but otherwise it wasnt a bad way to spend some free time.

you know, the free time in between naps...

peace & love,
A.

ps. i just finished downloading/listening to the album... i like it
