I lived in the Virgin Islands 94-95 and a small radio station (WIVI) there was stupid enough to let me do my own show. It was Saturdays mornings from 7-11 and it was called "Funk or Die". Each Show started just like this..beware the foghorn.

Wow, tuff as they come. But I'm not sure I'd be ready for that foghorn at 7 on a Saturday morning after a Friday night spent sipping sherry in a tropical night spot.
My Trusted MOGs
Wow, that'd get ya out of bed. I can imagine getting up on a hot, sticky island morning and slowly moving around, eating some leftover mango rice or something.
What the heck were you doing in the V.I.'s? Is that where your cache of tropical shirts comes from, eh?
My Trusted MOGs
I was working in a record store, Lady Miss Ian. I don't know how to do anything else.

I have said this before and I will no doubt say it again: Cody, you are a god among men. This is deep, deep, deep in the shed and I love it!
My Trusted MOGs
Oh sure, Cody. We all know it's front. You're actually an international man of mystery and super spy, aren't you? Music geek and record store schlub is just good cover. Luckily your secret is safe with the Moggers. ;-)

Cody - have you checked out Rhino's "What It Is" Rare Grooves box set. I didn't have a lot of this stuff when I received it under the tree last xmas. Eddie Hazel, Fred Wesley from the Funkadelic and Parliament circle are represented.
Here is a link to the Rhino site:

What island if you dont mind me asking. I had an aunt who owned a guest house on St. Thomas, and a good friend who is from St. Lucia. Nice track by the way!
My Trusted MOGs
St.Thomas,Rawk. Lived there for one year. It was OK, but the beaches of St.John is what I remeber best. Beautious.
My Trusted MOGs
That track is deep. Lovin' it at 11:00 on a Friday. I wish I could live on an island and have a radio show. Although I don't know how they would take Boredoms or Negativland at 7 in the morning. Great stuff Cody B.

My Trusted MOGs
Second, Cody. St. John is the shit.
My Trusted MOGs
That was an ace tune, Cody. One to track down. I used to work on record stores until i quited 3 years ago & I know perfectly what you mean by "I don’t know how to do anything else".
My Trusted MOGs
Meaty stuff, Cody. You're loading us up...
