Deejay Biographies
(Go to Deejay List...)
Ezra Jake Agnew
(A Small Victory). Ezra Jake Agnew was born in Maine but raised on Martha's Vineyard.
This makes him both a maniac and a Masshole, so he's got that going for
him. His show consists mostly of Heavy Metal, punk and hardcore but you
never know when something silly will get slipped in. At home he
secretly listens to Chick rock with all the lights turned off while
sipping tea and crying. Check out his blog http://www.countshockula.blogspot.com. It includes his play list, archives, links, and more.

Alfred and Andrea
(Noise Ride)."Under the color bleaching hum of flourescent light and within the multiplied drone of stainless steel automation Alfred and Andrea stood face to face with their own manifest destiny= The Auto- Mates. He likes production, she likes destruction, he likes wall of sound, she likes bricks.The noise ride spans from older experimentaion and long established projects, to newer sounds coming from local noise scenes in Western Mass and Providence, RI. That and what ever else tickles our split-uvulas" -
-The (wierd and mysterious)
Auto-mates.

Jamie Alley (Cinema Songbook). Jamie Alley is an
actor/improv performer based in Boston and Martha's Vineyard, who has
had a lifelong interest in films and film music, especially from The
Golden Age of Hollywood. Cinema Songbook, which airs Thursday mornings
8-10 am on WVVY, presents the best in music from motion pictures and
television from the beginning of sound film through today, focusing on
a different theme each week.
|
Anastas (Another Day in Paradise, Saturday Slide with Frenchy and Anastas). Another Day in Paradise is Mix of Reggae - to Dance - to The Dead and all points in between. Saturday Slide is dance music and more.
|
DJ Andrew
(House Fever). 100% Vinyl House and Dance Music.
|
Shawn Barber, aka Bones (Hitch a Ride). They
say you can take the boy out of Cape Cod but you can't take the Cape
Cod out of the boy. I don't know if that means somewhere in there
there's a golfer screaming to be heard or that I'll always have a leg
up in the "Can navigate a rotary" category. Now a Vineyard resident,
but still a wash-ashore on both counts, Bones developed a deep an
incurable sarcasm and thirst for music with darker and more tragically
comic themes; rebel country, whiskey, women, and murder. The story of
the straw that broke the camels backed then whipped me across the back
of the neck, and how I returned to Martha's Vineyard and needed to
become a WVVY dj unfolds like this:
A Pub Crawl into Soul-death USA...
I was bored out of my open-mic mind, sitting in a "blues bar" (Proudly
playing the same chord changes since 1947) watching a couple of "dudes"
ramming their way through my two least favorite/most played bands: Bon
Jovi and Jimmy Buffet, when the long haired one decided to "take a
break," or maybe to give our ears a break. While he set very ornate
leaf-finish red Ovation (just like the one Richie Sambora used in the
Dead or Alive video) quietly in its stand, I worked up what little
dignity I had left, spit it into a cocktail napkin, and crossed the
room to offer to play a few tunes, only to be told by the longer haired
dude that he doesn't loan out the Ovation since he put a brand new set
of expensive guitar strings on it. My pupils dilated. I laughed a scary
laugh that wouldn't stop. Scanned the room for witnesses. Went back to
my table. Not only had I already let myself down for contributing
lyrics to the Nibbling on Spongecake song, I was now being rejected
from something I didn't want anything to do with in the first place.
Regretting my new drink, I vowed over and over again until it was gone
to never return, unless to demonstrate to visiting friends why I was
depressed which I would do later, brushed the dignity napkin to the
floor, went home and starting packing....You did me a great favor Bon
Jovi Dude, thanks.

Josie & Ramona Black
(Black Out Thursdays). Think the radio station is too small for a dance
party? Think it is impossible to operate the equipment when blacked out
drunk?
We (the sisters of Blackout Thursday) strongly disagree. You may find
it strange that two girls born in South Africa would have such a large
collection of Americana music. But here we are, every Thursday night
from 6-8, coming at you with amazing bluegrass, rockin’ blues, some
good old time music and lord knows what else.
Ramona Black, the older of the two Blackout sisters, enjoys spending
her island days telescoping for stars and wet suiting beneath the deep
cold ocean.
Josie Black, the taller of the two, enjoys chipping away at tiles with
small hand tools, making lists in order to cross items off and
generally organizing things. (ANY THINGS)
So that is pretty much everything about us. We come together each week
with fun and eclectic sets. So check us out this Thursday.

Justin H Brierley
(Music for Internets). Isn't "Modern Classical" an oxymoron? Just what is "New Music"? If you've been curious about the world of 21st Century composition but don't know where to begin, tune in to Music for Internets. Join me as I explore the vast and varied landscape of modern music. You may just be surprised at how hip Indie-Classical can be! http://www.musicforinternets.com

Marta Camargo
(Brazilian Wax). I'll play different styles of Brazilian music, from
different regions of the country and from different times.
I like the idea of "showing a bit of Brazil" through its music, because
music is such an important piece of the Brazilian soul/life.
You can listen to: Choro, Samba, Forro, Baiao, Bossa Nova, Joven
Guarda, Tropicalia, Rock, Jazz, Lounge, Folk, Rap, Eletronica,
Experimental, Mangue Beat, Soul, Instrumental and many others styles!!
Let's GO!
" You'll feel very smooth after you listen to it!" (Just like Brazilian
Wax!) Check out my playlists on my blog, http://www.brazilwax.blogspot.com/!

from Mali.........
We have a strong background in Irish music and lots of recordings from
concerts that we have produced.
We love the chance to explore the connections that happen between
musicians of different cultures.
And we love to share the air with all the DJs who have different
musical backgrounds.

Russ Hartenstine, aka Dr. Jazz
(Dr. Jazz). Dr. Jazz was born in 1920. The child of Jelly Roll Morton
and an unidentified mother from New Orleans, he was brought up by
roadies while on tour with Jelly across the country. From his earliest
memories, Dr. Jazz was privileged to listen to his father and
contemporaries create a new, American musical heritage that has become
one of the most beloved musical forms throughout the world. Some
criticize his credentials as a PhD of Jazz, but listeners are
encouraged to judge for themselves on his credentials or experience.
Dr. Jazz looks forward to continuing his father's tradition to bring
this great musical art form to the Vineyard and looks forward to any
discussions on Jazz, Art and the Musical Experience. Listen Friday
nights, 9-Midnight.
