Westsidewill - Wild Off The Air

Here are some videos that you may or may not know about, but these artists are worth checking:

Black Milk “Give the Drummer Sum”

I’m a Black Milk fan, and a chocolate milk fan but I digress, he has a solid ablum here. This isn’t his best song but he’s making an effort to sound different. Maybe it isn’t the greatest rap song to try to use live instruments, but it’s good and good for him making the effort.

Soulja Boy Tell’em “Turn My Swag On”

My Unofficial pick for most annoying song of the year! Let’s check it out

If you can make, “Hop out my Beeeeeeed” sound more annoying I’d like to hear it.

DJ Khaled Feat. Kanye West & T-Pain “Go Hard”

DJ Khaled tried his best to be more annoying than Soulja Boy…but can anyone really take that crown? I know Khaled wants it because he’s the best and “We the best” is super annoying. And can someone tell Kanye to give T-Pain his vocoder back?

The Streets “The Escapist”

Just a cool song. He has a weird flow, that’s for sure, just a slow deliberate style, and he’s kind of monotone. But I guess if you mix that much that shouldn’t be mixed together it makes sense. Like a hot dog.

*Kinda like Forrest Gump right?

Anyway…that’s about what I have for you today. It’s all rap, I know.

I was lazy.

I wanted to post a Lady Gaga video here, not because I think her music is any good, but because I think she’s pretty darn hot.

Yep…

The Nooge

Yeah…

Here is the thing about that, I have no voice…really…0 voice.

I tried, but…I couldn’t talk, and I guess it’s not such a great thing to have a DJ who can’t talk…

The good news is no matter what there will be a new show tomorrow, like always (Dave, Boomer, Champaign, Matt D., Myself…someone will host the darn thing).

So…without great tunes today I’m going to give you something to bump to…a song that is stuck firmly in my head, ENJOY!

*Fun update, Counting Crows have a “new” album out (That I’m pretty sure has sold like 5 copies) and I think Vanessa Carlton is still signed to The “Don’t Call me Murder” INC. It’s like they just keep signing people who are 10 times tougher than Ja Rule…poor guy.

We came to a realization tonight during the show, Boomer, Dave and I are all dudes.

Yep.

We are a fairly bright group here at the station and I think this is just another one of those examples. It came about when Boomer was telling a little story about trying his best, as a youngster, to try and talk to some girl he worked with whom he thought was going to be the first Ex Miss K.O. “Boomer” Boomstein.

Long story short:

She was restocking the salt shakers and Boomer said, “Iodized Salt Eh?” and she said “Yeah.” He then said, “Whulp…See you later”. And walked off, thus leaving his best shot on the table which she clearly took a pass on.

It’s with that story in mind we began to wonder…What do chicks think of this sort of stuff? Because we happen to think that they probably have some fairly entertaining stories about guys with really, really bad pick up lines. I’m not talking stupid pick up lines like, “Fat Penguin. What? Oh I just thought I would say something that would break the ice.” I’m talking like really bad, failures, like, “Iodized salt Eh?” Here is why we are wondering what chicks think about all this, we are guys, if the girl was hot and said, “Iodized salt eh?”, I would respond with something like, “Ohhhhh, yeah I love salt…wanna make out?”

So…yeah…on with the contest!

Here is what we want:

Ladies! Submit your best “funny” pick up line story to us here at WestSideWill Radio! If we read your funny story and reaction on the air we will give you a COOL PRIZE! What’s this cool prize you ask?

An autographed picture of Boomer, Dave, and The Nooge! Well…you don’t really have to accept this prize, but if you want one you can have one. I’m not sure I’d want one, but whatever floats your boat.

I will also post all of the great stories in this blog (which gets over 2000 hits a day! Neat.) with your name or whatever other info you want in it (like your myspace/facebook/website/whatever you want to link to). Or if you want to make in anonymous you can do that as well.

Here are the different ways you can submit your funny pick up line failures:

1) Email your story to The Nooge ( TheNooge@WestSideWill.com )
2) Message your story to The Nooge on MySpace (www.myspace.com/boomerthenooge)
3) Message your story to Dave The Intern (www.myspace.com/davetheintern007)

Your story can be as long OR as short as you’d like it to be.

And…

Well nothing. That’s it. It’s not a real complicated thing, we just want to hear what goes through the mind of the ladies when guys drop awesome lines on them like, “Iodized salt eh?”

Any questions or anything get at one of us using the above methods!

Have a great Friday, I’m sick and going to pass out!

The Nooge

Well I decided to do it today, for the first time in awhile…I swear!

I’ve been trying to quit for awhile now…but today, I broke down and there is some good news!

I used to google “The Nooge” and have my myspace page come up 2nd or 3rd, well good news people, I’m #1 now! Yeah #1 used to be an obituary, so that’s good that I passed him…I guess.

Other fun search results:

#5 Urban Dictonary Defines “The Nooge”, there are actually 5 results here are a selection of those results:

1. Nooge

a person that has set themself apart with ridiculously shady behavior.

a geek.

Mark Wright couldn’t be more of a nooge if he tried.

4. Nooge

derived from the Portugese word for “ugly”

Source: Urban Dictionary
….

I have to tell you 4 seems like a load of crap to me…maybe I’m partial…to me?

Also I found that some guy posts on that site and calls himself the Nooge, I guess he is defending all of “The Nooge”s out there.

What about the Image Results?

A big ol’ picture of me!

And then…a bunch of images that aren’t me, like Alicia Sacramone (who…is hot…and I’m glad we are googled together), a Dog, Josh Beckett, and some weird old lady with a gun.

Here is what I learned today, Google isn’t as “smart” as it thinks it is, although I also learned I’m the coolest Nooge in the world.

I suggest everyone google’s themselves, see what happens, and let me know.

Normally we like to reivew one music video a week, but this week we are going to do something different.

I’d like to point everyone in the direction of our message board/forum and a section of it that is just for music videos. We have recently had some great music videos posted by Mr. Tac aka Chocolate, Instruments of Love, Broad and others!

It’s worth taking a visit over there and checking out: http://westsidewill.com/forum/index.php?board=25.0

So go over there, watch some videos and sign up and post if it strikes you! We know a bunch of you just ‘lurk’ over there, so stop by and say hello!

Great new show tonight at 8pm central on www.westsidewill.com/radio

Barack Obama!

Did anyone ever doubt that? I think at one point it seemed like it would be fairly close, but in the end it didn’t really finish that way.

I think one of the really neat things to take away from this election was how good John McCain’s concession speech was. I think that just confirms that both of these candidates would have done a fine job and were fine men.

I don’t think people who say McCain is the devil or any of that crap are anywhere near being correct, that said I don’t think anyone who thinks Obama will do a poor job are right either.

We lucked out, we finally had a year where we had 2 great candidates…and that’s all you can really ask for!

Handshakes and High Fives,

So I went to vote at like 1:20 today, not too crowded, it never is. Anywhooo here is something interesting we MAY or MAY NOT hear about in the coming hours, but it’s good to know what it is:

- The Bradley Effect

The Bradley effect, less commonly called the Wilder effect,[1][2] is a theory proposed to explain observed discrepancies between voter opinion polls and election outcomes in some US government elections where a white candidate and a non-white candidate run against each other.[3][4][5] The theory proposes that some voters tend to tell pollsters that they are undecided or likely to vote for a black candidate, and yet, on election day, vote for his white opponent. It was named after Tom Bradley, an African-American who lost the 1982 California governor’s race despite being ahead in voter polls going into the elections.[6]

Source: Wikipedia

What does this mean? It just means that the polls predicting a HUGE win for Obama may be wrong. White voters tend to “fib” a bit about who they are voting for, after all they may be seen as racist! Or…in my opinion they may just be seen as idiots for lying in an OPINION POLL! Apparently this effect does exist to some extent, so it’s going to be interesting to watch.

Just wanted to drop some knowledge!

It’s roughly 10:50 am on election day here in Illinois and I think I’m going to head out to vote at like 1 or 2…honestly though in Illinois my vote for president doesn’t really matter of OB doesn’t win his “home” state that is traditionally democratic something is seriously weird with this election. That’s why I said I’m going to write in Alicia Sacramone…

Anywhooo…here are some updates you all can check out:

-Karl Rove (GOP aka Republican political adviser to Bush for his 2 election wins) predicts Obama by a LANDSLIDE. Source: CNN

-Can there be a tie today? Yep, check out the scenarios that can lead to a tie:
A tie is like kissing your sister!

-How do you vote…are you kidding? Pshhhhhhhh, i’m sure this will help someone out so I’m going to link to it…but I’m not happy about it:
Hi, I’m here…wait I needed an ID to vote…weird

-As of 10:50am Obama has won 2 super small New Hampshire towns…one of them Dixville, I don’t know about you but I don’t want to live in any sort of dixville…
15-6…that’s like a football score…I guess only 21 people want to actually live in Dixville

Aight, that’s all I have for right now, I’ll keep making posts throughout the day!

One of the things I enjoy most about watching TV during the pre-election day craziness is hearing how crazy some people really are. It’s funny what the elections bring out of people, it’s like the Devil is running against Mother Teresa (and depending on who you support the roles are given out).

People are nuts, and based on that thought I don’t think anyone should be allowed to vote who says something that dumb. It’s an election for the president of the United States, these guys aren’t running for GOD. While they have a lot of power they also have a lot of checks in place to make sure they don’t do anything goofy. I know someone is going to say, “Well what about Bushy and his war in Iraq?” Congress voted to give him the green light and the paper to have that little war. Or “What about the deregulation of mortgage companies?” Again, congress had a HUGE hand in that.

The point here is that when you vote tomorrow, you aren’t just voting for the president, you are voting for a whole slew of people who will probably have more impact on your day to day life than the president. So brush up on your stuff people!

And get ready to watch some AWESOME TV tomorrow! I love how crazy the Pundits and Extreme Right and Left get! It’s the best TV you can watch that comes around 1 time every 4 years (Except the Olympics this year because I think Alicia Sacramone is hot).

Without further ado, here is The Nooge endorses for President:

My write-in Vote for President. Did you see her knock that one nerd out? She’s tough on the issue I care about, knocking nerdy fake frat guys out!

Wait…she’s only 20? Pshhhhhhh who cares, I live in Illinois if the Deomcratic candidate doesn’t win this state then something is seriously wrong with our make up fake votes system!

Some people would take the time to do REAL research and figure what what Halloween really is, but that’s not how we roll at WestSideWill Radio.

No sir. Here we do all sorts of wacky stuff that we shouldn’t that some how, some way, seems to workout for us in the end. So, with that in mind, I present to you, “Why Halloween Is Useful” an Essay by The Nooge

What is Halloween? That’s a simple question to answer, it’s a crazy holiday where you dress up like something, to get candy. But that isn’t REALLY what Halloween is, Halloween is the time of year when the world just seems to work better…safety really does come first.

I just want to say that perhaps it should be OK all year round, I mean, if you get sick, what there are 20 to 30 nurses within a square block?

Bet you 100 bucks if nurses dressed like that we’d ALL be fighting for free health care…

Some people may say Halloween is a “DANGEROUS” time of year…dude are you kidding there are TONS of cops around!

Ohhhh, what about all the parties, I mean things get really out of hand. And who is going to control rowdy bars or put out fires? The fire martial:

Ummmmm…I totally lost my train of thought here, I don’t even know where I was going but…

What if we needed magic…what would we do then. Bam - Chick wizards all over the damn place!

Ohhhh, I see, we need someone to eat or drink some crazy colored foods or liquids and chase a rabbit…we are in trouble right?!?! Paris saves us…AGAIN

Look…I can go on, and on, and on, and on about this stuff, but all I’m really trying to say is that Halloween should be every day!

I kid! Halloween is fun times! Get out there and have fun you crazzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy kids!
