  Subject: Tomorrow (4/9) on | Saturday @ Margarita Village

  After a hiatus due to technical problems at the station, Better Version is back and better than ever at the same time and place: Thursday 8-10pm HI, 11-1pm PDT, 2-4am EDT on uhhradio.com. Tomorrow night for Better Version, I will finally be showcasing the original Jamaican dancehall sound, as I was planning to two weeks ago. Again, this is not the hip-hop flavored dancehall so prevalent in the clubs today, but rather the smooth and soulful rub-a-dub sounds of Jamaican producers like Junjo Lawes, Linval Thompson, Bunny Lee and Joe Gibbs from ‘79-’83. It will be longer show than 2 hours this week, as I have special guest DJ Radec bringin some fyah as well.

  Also, if you are in Hilo and over 21, come thru Saturday night (10pm) to Margarita Village (11 Silva Street across from the Hilo Port on the way to Richardsons Beach) to check out “Epic Moments.” Katrice (aka DJ Jazzy Belle) and I are gonna be DJing a variety of quality roots, funk, and hip hop. There is NO Cover !

  No BS techno party. Come to dance. OBEs welcome.

  Shaka’s in Pahoa is the place. A handful of local DJs will be on “hand” and heads down to make it right. It’s Aubrey ’s birthday surfers welcome.

  Mention you saw this on Big Island Fun and you’ll get some strange blank stares. Someone might even say, “huh?”

  Shaka’s in Pahoa, Thursday night.

  There’s a storm that generates itself from the top of Mauna Kea. It’s called the Pineapple Express.

  • Read more about the Pineapple Express at Answers.com
  • Read an article from last month about the Pineapple Express
  • Pineapple Express News article (from 2006)

  Okay, maybe not from the “Top of Mauna Kea” I made that up.

  Okay, the weather has been too much to keep up with.

  So here’s the url so you can check the road conditions for yourself. It’s been opening and closing daily it seems due to new snow falls.
