Talk:The Electrifying Mojo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm starting a major remodel to this article. It's a work in progress. Mojo was very influential to my musical tastes and I hated to see the poor condition this article was in. I also started Midnight Funk Association to move some of the information out of this article. --Brad101 10:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

"The late 1990s brought Mojo to WCHB-FM for a stretch in 1998. He also was making guest appearances on the now-defunct WDTR around 2004. Mojo moved from the smaller WGPR to WJLB in its prime years, then on to WHYT as its star passed."

^^ This entire passage needs to be rewritten and parts of it need to be moved to earlier in the page. Mojo's WGPR-WJLB-WHYT era ended in 1987. He did return to WGPR in later years, but that's not covered in the above paragraph. BRAD, you're doing a SUPERB job on the revision of this article. I did extensive work on it last year, and I love that someone else has taken up the task. I think we need more info on Mojo post 1990. I'll be keeping an eye on this page and helping out where I can. Let's keep in touch! Smokeverbs 02:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments :) Whatever is currently in the History section I have not sorted through yet and I've also been using it as a dumping ground for other parts of the article I haven't sorted yet. There is a lot of information I haven't added yet either which wasn't in the article to begin with. --Brad101 17:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

• I also love to see this article getting some attention it deserves. I am very excited to hear that he may get a satellite radio show, partly just to let him loose on the air(?)waves; but mostly cuz the mere hint at the existence of archives of his old shows thrills me to no end. From a purely archival/educational standpoint, it would be great to get ahold of these and catalog them, then this article could make reference to details of specific shows -- highlights of the magic that was mojo. of course, the selfish side of me wants them to be available via the web as well.... hehe Jon Lon Sito 20:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll be getting satellite radio as soon as I find out his first airdate. I don't know yet if it's going to be on XM or Sirius, but when I spoke to him about 3 months back, he was in negotiation with both companies. Wherever he ends up, I'll be recording each show to .wav and 192k/s mp3 (you *can* do that, even though I don't believe either company would tell you how ...). Mojo says he can't/won't distribute any of his old shows himself, due to copyrights on all the music he played; I'll be buying a new HDD, the largest I can find, just to keep his archive shows... smokeverbs 18:47, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• wow, if you do this, that would be great. in the event you felt like it, i could probably find some webspace to put some/most of the shows (maybe resampled to a lower bitrate, just to save on bandwidth/drive space?). bandwidth permitting (i mean, who knows how many fans are out there? it could be an onslaught to my servers!). further, i would be glad to help build a table of show dates and content.

Ok gang, I've done about all I can do to cleanup the article a bit except for maybe some nitpicking here and there. I've noticed that the various radio station pages linked from this article don't even make mention of Mojo so I will find time to go around and add links to this article. I am happy to know that a google search on "The Electrifying Mojo" brings this article up as the first hit. Not bad! --Brad101 22:59, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

thanks for the good work, brad101. i will keep an eye on this and add/tweak stuff if i can. Jon Lon Sito 06:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
