WMCB weblog will be taking a break for the summer. Please contact us if you are interested in being a member next year, blogging, DJ-ing, or just getting involved in general! We love to hear from you!

Summer in Buffalo means concerts, festivals, a million events with food, and actually being outside!! I’m not aware of all the concerts in the area, but I know of one for certain that I will be at.

Billy Talent, Rancid and Rise Against will be at the Erie Co. Fairgrounds in July. (See college professors can have good taste.) I can’t wait! All three are great bands, and despite the fact that Rancid has been around for quite some time, I’ve never had the opportunity to see them.

What music events are on your summer agenda?

Tomorrow night, March 31 at 7 p.m., come to the Lecture Hall for WMCB’s 5th Annual Star Search.

Contestants will be competing in a singing contest, as judges will decide who will win 3 big prizes. First Place is $500, Second Place is $250 and Third Place is $100.

Come out and support Medaille Students and join in on the fun for Star Search 2009.

Hope to see you all there!

If you guys dont know, I am the BIGGEST fan of John Cena. He is an amazing athlete, and of course HOT :)
Unfortuanetly ladies….on the Jay Leno show he announced that he’s getting married in July (BIG SIGH). I am really happy for him and I wish him and his fiance the best of luck! Everyone expects me to be so bummed out about it, but I truly am not. He’s 32, he should be getting married around this age. And if you guys dont know, he has a movie coming out called “12 rounds” THIS FRIDAY! So make sure you guys go see it! Check out the trailer below:

Sorry I haven’t been blogging lately…dont you guys wish that essays were banned? UGH

Anyway, the week before break we had guest-filled shows…I truly had a good time Live In The Den lol.
Jaela stopped by, or as she calls herself, Jropdead Gruesome. Besides the microphone issues(haha), we had a great time. The hot topic of the night was interracial relationships. We both talked about how we were for it, and discussed some of the issues that might occur while you’re in them. J might be a guest again soon, so be on the lookout for that. (continue reading…)

There will be a meeting Monday March 23, at 12:30 in the radio station. We will be discussing our big event Star Search which is on Tuesday March 31 from 7-9.

See you all on Monday, which is the day we all come back from Spring Break.

Hey Everyone,

WMCB has a station meeting tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. We will be discussing Star Search (March 31 7-9) and the St. Patrick’s Day Remote (March 11th 12:30 p.m.)

See you tomorrow!

Whats going on folks? Okay, so today of course I have the latest music and entertainment news for you guys. Rumors about Rihanna and Chris Brown back together?? I’m going to talk about it all! If you didn’t get to listen to the last show, a couple of things I covered were…

• DMX facing more charges (surprised? Lol yeah right)
• Keyshia Cole’s very outspoken and outrageous mom Frankie coming out with a tell all book and her own show
• Fifty Cent taking back his cruel jokes about the Rihanna and Chris Brown incident after seeing the battered pic of Rihanna (Its a shame it takes a picture to help 50 Cent understand that domestic violence is not an issue to make fun of)

• Neyo’s thoughts about the whole incident and his reaction to the picture

I’m thinking about starting back up the Den’s Corner that me and DJ D Nice had going on last semester. And if you’ve been a loyal listener, you know that we would bring up hot topics and discuss our opinions on them and get feedback from the guests that we would bring on the show. So if you guys have any topic that you think would be great for me and a guest to discuss just post them as a comment or email them to me at: qib23@medaille.edu. Included with this would also be the “Would you rather” question and a discussion on that.

Okay; how many new sports arenas and Indian casinos have to be built around this town before we finally knock down everybody’s favorite eyesore…The Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, better known as “The Aud?” Now, I know we have an affinity for everything abandoned around here in the Queen City with all the grain elevators, steel mills and half empty warehouses that litter  Buffalo’s landscape. But can’t we let our dear old friend at least die with some dignity?

After sitting dormant for the better part of 15 years while local legislators fought over a proper use for the old girl, it was finally agreed upon that the wrecking ball would be her fate.  The city comissioned a construction firm to oversee the demolition, gutted and auctioned what could be salvaged from inside and at last, it was time for Buffalo’s first lady to meet her maker. 

Or so it seemed…

The project seemed to be underway in late November when sections of the brown siding on the exterior surface started being removed.  This process was stalled by a series of storms that rolled through the area during December. However, things looked even more promising a month later when the city crest and auditorium nameplate were cut out of the of the concrete.  Since that time, a large hole has been knocked through the front of the building exposing the interior to all who drive down the I-190.

And nothing else…

Now I’m no expert, but it seems to me that even in the harshest weather conditions a decent construction crew should be able to demolish a building of that size and remove its contents in say a month or two, right? 

Wrong…

What is it going to take for the city to finally get this job done? Has the project stalled because they haven’t figured out how much to charge for souveneir pieces of rubble yet? Do they even have a plan at all?

Or is it The Aud’s fate to die a slow and painful death? Much like the city in which it was born…

Finally Live In The Den has a blog up! Thanks Sarah

 It feels like I haven’t done my show in decades…mostly because Monday we had no school and Wednesday the system was down. But next week Live In The Den is back on the air! So make sure you guys tune in from 6-7 on Mondays and Wednesdays. And of course I will have the latest music and entertainment news for you guys as well as music. Have a good weekend!
