Revolutions On The Air: The Golden Era Of New York Radio *Circa 1980-1988
New York City Radio during the 1980s featured the most dynamic and influential soundtrack the city has ever heard.
Revolutions On Air is the story of mix show legends and studio wizards like Shep Pettibone, Tony Humphries, The Latin Rascals, Marley Marl, and Kool DJ Red Alert - innovators whose “anything goes” attitude pushed the emerging hip-hop, electro, freestyle, and house music scenes and kept radio listeners citywide hooked to their tape decks in order to record these now-classic mixes.

Fight Preview: Garcia v Peterson
In a Super Lightweight showdown, Danny "Swift" Garcia will face Lamont "Havoc" Peterson. Although Garcia's Title won't be on the line, due to a 143 lb. catchweight, this match is still intriguing. With Garcia hinting that this will be his last fight as a Super Lightweight before moving up to Welterweight, he will have a tough task in Peterson. Both are coming off "weak" competition in their last fights coming into their own showdown, so both have much to prove. Garcia is out to prove that he cleaned out the Super Lightweight division and is ready to become an elite fighter in the already stacked up Welterweight division. Peterson is out to show that he too can become an elite fighter in the next level. Expect good bout with someone possibly getting hurt in this one. Garcia vs Peterson will be broadcasted tonight, April 11th, 2015, live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York on NBC at 5:30 PST.
In the undercard of Garcia v Peterson, Andy Lee will square off against Peter Quillin. This bought was going to be for Lee's WBO Middleweight Championship, but since Quillin failed to make weight, the title won't be on the line. This fight should also produce some hard hitting action.
On Pay-Per-View, Orlando "Siri" Salido put his WBO Super Featherweight Title on the line in Puerto Rico against Puerto Rican native Rocky Martinez. Salido is no stranger to fighting in enemy territory as he has experience in coming to Puerto Rico and ripping out the hearts of Boricuas with upset wins against their native son Juan Manuel Lopez. Look for another Mexican-Puerto Rican "War" when these two get in the ring tonight.
Noez Predictions:
Danny Garcia Wins by 8th Round TKO
Andy Lee Wins by 5th Round TKO
Orlando Salido Wins by 11th Round TKO

Roasted In Santa Monica: Fu#*, That's Delicious
In this episode of Fuck, That's Delicious we head to the land of juice bars and drive-by's: California. While in the Golden State, we check in with The Alchemist during a recording session, catch a culinary performance at the Odd Future Carnival, and get some Hollywood power lunch tips from Simon Rex at Ink. As if all that isn't enough, Action meets up with B-Real for tacos on the East Side, and then balances it all out with a spectacular cauliflower recipe. That's some California love.
