Electric Boogaloo

Kudos to The Price is Right for holding down the ship this past Thursday, while yours truly got busy to the Screaming Eagle of Soul.

Check out the E-Boogie blog for a special announcement later on today (hint: guest deejay!), regarding this week’s show. Of course you know I’m talking about The Electric Boogaloo, 11pm to midnight this and every Thursday on 91.1 FM in Atlanta and streaming live at wrek.org.

Anywho, here are the jams that “came on down” last week. As always, you can grab it live right off of Twitter.

This is a little bit late, but better that than never, I suppose. The Boogaloo will have representatives at the Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires show at the Masquerade and the Galactic feat. Corey Glover and Corey Henry show at Variety Playhouse. So keep an eye out for unruly hipsters drinking heavily if you’re out. Never fear, though, as The Price is Right will hold things down over the airwaves, 11pm to midnight tonight and every Thursday.

Also don’t forget to get down on a couple of festivals. The Atlanta Dogwood Festival is at Piedmont all weekend and the Sweetwater 420 Fest is at Candler Park. Check our latest What’s Up for more info and links.
