A popular female DJ in Houston, Texas plummeted to her death in the early hours of July 4. Her girlfriend claims she watched her climb onto a chair on the 13th floor balcony and accidentally fall over the railing. Darian Lewis, 23, also known as DJ D Baby, died more than a week after being hospitalized from the devastating fall. 'There’s no way I could have pushed her over, she was only able to get over because she climbed onto the furniture. I would have literally had to pick her up & throw her over which is absolutely absurd! WE...

At one point, it looked as if Biden's DOJ and FBI were in the catbird seat waging war against parents who dared challenge leftist dominance in schools in the form of school boards authorizing Critical Race Theory, gender madness, and masks on healthy children. The wheel of fortune has turned, though. Merrick Garland exposed his ignorance and partisanship before congress, and the National School Boards Association (NSBA) has offered a groveling apology. It works to push back against ascendant leftism. The big news week before last was that an organization most people had never heard of — the NSBA —...

“The most recent fad to catch on with kids in our big cities and metropolitan areas is rapping,” the Blondie singer explained to the audience on the network variety show “Solid Gold,” in 1981. After mentioning some of the genre’s rising stars from the Bronx — the Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash, the Funky 4 + 1 — Harry introduced her band’s latest rap-inspired video. “Using our new single, ‘Rapture,’” Harry said, in a professorial tone, “Blondie and some of our friends put together a number to show you what rapping in the street scene is like.”

Popular New Orleans Bounce Music DJ Passes Away At Age 44 From CoronaVirus Infection! Video is 5 min long

It takes a fearless DJ to stand up for “late-night vibes” when you’ve got Bill Clinton asking you to turn the music down. But that’s what happened in the Hamptons when Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jon Bon Jovi and former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine dined at chic East Hampton hotel the Maidstone late Friday. A witness said, “Bill asked the staff to turn down the music as the late-night music scene was just beginning because there were still people having dinner [and their table was deep in political discussion]. They were told ‘no’ by the DJ. The wait staff...

MADISON (WKOW) -- A 30th birthday party ends early after a the party's organizer punches the DJ, and destroys his equipment because of his song selections.

Legendary New York DJ Dave Herman has been busted for trying to arrange a sick tryst with a 7-year-old girl — whom he hoped to liquor up in the US Virgin Islands and “force” into sex, federal authorities said. The former radio mainstay — whose “Rock And Roll Morning Show” ran on WNEW-FM from 1972 to 1998 — allegedly thought he was teaming up with the child’s mom to organize the perverted attack on the girl, who was called “Lexi.”

Is European anti-Semitism different today or is there a feeling that we've been here before? The term déjà vu brings to mind the English expression, been there, done that. The odd sensation of reliving something for the second time unnerves us precisely because it’s so convincingly familiar. Over the course of 2 months, I visited Jewish communities in the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium and the UK and interviewed dozens of Jewish leaders as well as “laymen” – both Jews and non-Jews. While attempting to determine the seriousness of contemporary European Anti-Semitism, I experienced what I would term “déjà...

Popular Hot 97 radio deejay "Mister Cee" 'fessed up Wednesday to a penal code violation: receiving oral sex from another man in a parked car. Cee, 44, whose real name is Calvin LeBrun, pleaded guilty to a charge of loitering for the purpose of engaging in a prostitution offense. He and his much younger companion, Lawrence Campbell, 20, were busted March 30 at 4 a.m. at Watts and West streets. He was ordered to complete three months, or 12 sessions, of counseling with a doctor, officials said. This was Cee's second conviction on the same charge. The music man was...

Islamic fundamentalists posted death threats against a Polish disk jockey soon after he published a song that he says was supposed to be a tribute to the Muslim culture. It started on Christmas Eve. Jakub Rene Kosik, a 27-year-old DJ from Poland excused himself from the dinner table and checked his Facebook. Word of his newest composition, Mekka, was out. And it was ill-received. “You messed with Islam,” the first message read. “We’ll never forgive what you did to our religion,” read another. “You played with us, now we’ll play with you.” “We’re everywhere. Forget your international career.” By morning...

Remaining newspaper companies take note, especially The New York Times (NYT) . Going digital isn't enough. It won't work. That's the real reason behind the Bancroft capitulation that I have been saying since Day 1 had to happen. It's the economics of the Web. But first, let's accept that Dow Jones' (DJ) two-tiered structure created a tremendous disincentive by management to develop businesses away from the Journal. As someone who worked for Dow Jones from 1991 to 1995 I can tell you that the reservations to do anything remotely smart or clever away from the paper were so great that...

NEW YORK -- Broadcaster Don Imus' wife will be his replacement Friday on his morning radio show. CBS fired Imus Thursday because of a racially charged remark he made last week about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Imus had a long history of inflammatory remarks. But his comments about the Rutgers team -- which includes a class valedictorian, a future lawyer and a musical prodigy -- generated a firestorm of controversy. A minister who arranged a meeting between Imus and the team said it was happening Thursday night at the governor's mansion in Princeton, N.J. Imus initially was suspended for...

Styled as "the radio station all pets prefer", DogCatRadio.com goes out live 17 hours each day from a van in the car park of a Los Angeles recording studio.

A good friend of mine from school is in the lead, running for newscaster on one of our city radio stations Sonic 102.9. Please FReep this poll (at the bottom of the page), and vote for Kory Read. He is a good guy, not a Pinko, and a great friend who I have never once heard bash America or Bush (and I'm living in Canada!!).

SAN FRANCISCO - Dell Inc., the world's largest direct computer seller, on Tuesday launched a new flash-memory digital music player designed to compete with the iPod Shuffle. Dell billed its DJ Ditty as a better value than the Shuffle. Both devices are $99 and come equipped with 512 megabytes of memory, but because the Ditty uses an audio format that compresses digital music files more efficiently, Dell asserts the Ditty can hold up to 220 songs while the same-sized Shuffle stores about 120. The biggest difference between the devices is the Ditty's 1-inch LCD display screen, which helps users navigate...

Famous DJ Cronauer now works to bring POWs home By EARL WATT Southwest Daily Times In 1979, Adrian Cronauer had an idea. "MASH" was the No. 1 television sitcom, and "WKRP" was extremely popular as well. Cronauer, an Armed Forces disc jockey during the Vietnam conflict, thought that combining the MASH and WKRP formats, and centering them around Vietnam, would be entertaining. "The problem was, in 1979, no one thought you could do a comedy about Vietnam," Cronauer said while visiting Liberal for the USO show, Command Performance," at the Mid-America Air Museum slated to begin at 7 tonight. His...

WASHINGTON, July 6, 2005 – David Kelso's trip to Iraq started out as an experiment to figure out how to broadcast radio live from the Middle East. But it turned into much more after the Oklahoma City disk jockey was introduced to a group of Marines from his area. Among the Marines Kelso met was Lance Cpl. Aaron Mankin, a 23-year-old combat correspondent from Rogers, Ark., who enlisted in the Marines from Oklahoma. Kelso said he was impressed right away by Aaron's military bearing and by his striking blue eyes. "He was incredibly well spoken," said Kelso, a DJ for...
