Ok. I'm told that the odd Summertime thing they just did... that was filler music added only to the online stream - to take the place of advertisements that they didn't have the license to air online

Yeah, they'll be a lot of that sort of thing taking place! Like..."Do Me Right"...right now...that hasn't been played on air in how many years?

whoever it is, is mixing live... and the station's log hasn't been updated in 15 mins, normally it updates itself about 10 secs before the next song is even aired...

SahajaLove (7:46:51 PM): I'm definitely not feeling mojo in what I'm hearing right now
djdetroitbutcher (7:46:58 PM): like i said tho, it's still early
djdetroitbutcher (7:47:27 PM): if it is him, i wonder how long it is going to take before he starts going outside of the station's format??
SahajaLove (7:48:15 PM): that's just it, I think he'd already bet outside it, don't you?
djdetroitbutcher (7:48:47 PM): not exactly, no... don't want to blow it too quickly you know ... and how long would he actually last here, if he immediately started flippin the finger to the boss's, so to speak
SahajaLove (7:49:25 PM): very true


I swear...I still think Mojo's there...you just have to listen to the songs! He can't go all Mojo all at once...that's too obvious! I think he wants us to do the work, it'll take to get him back on the air in rare form! He has to play the radio standards or the plug will most assuredly be pulled, he's well aware of that! He's embedding himself into the standard playlist. I'm telling you...I'd have NEVER brought this up unless I REALLY felt it.

Wouldn't it be fucked up if 105.9 was just messing with us? Tune-up man wouldn't confirm or deny ... but you can't tell me he doesn't recognize the drawing power of Mojo in Detroit ... It might be him, it might not.

But to put things bluntly, from where I'm coming from:

in 1995, I bought a copy of Mojo's book "The Mental Machine" ... the store had to order it directly from him. It arrived autographed... "Anthony, May the angels keep you and bless you. WATCH THE SKIES, peace, Mojo."

Yall know that was always one of his catch phrases ... (*oh hell nah, "Got to have a J.O.B.???" where's eddie murphy when we need him!*) ... I've been "watching the skies" ever since.... has our mothership finally come back home????

I thought about that! TuneUp's look told me all I needed to know. It was a look of..."Damn! He's REALLY got that kind of pull with them even AFTER all this time, they'd know him even without him saying a word?"

YA DAMN SKIPPY!!! headbang

No doubt....

djdetroitbutcher: i guess i'm just waiting for The One, some song that is PURELY mojo's ... he doesn't have to say a word, ya know?

SahajaLove: yeah, I just worry that he's being copied

djdetroitbutcher: that was my point earlier.... but if this is just a "pseudo-mojo" show ... it's not Spot On by any means ... but like i said, if he's smart, he's NOT going to just Give It Away immediately ya know. maybe this is a "trial run"...?

let's also keep in mind, he was on this station for several years back in the mid 90s ... he was let go, but that was completely different management & owners back then eh?

Right! The rules from when he was last let go and now have gotten even tighter! The corporate entities that rule the radio waves aren't going to just bring him back...based on his previous track record. He's going to have to get the audience involved! The same way Petey Green did! The movie "Talk To Me" with Don Cheadle which was released just a few weeks ago, when my Mojo-mania first started illustrates this throughly!

This is sweet, really sweet.

For anyone that want to chat, you can always head over to TheDetroitCrawl.Org chat room.

It's retro-new jack. Love it, regardless. Bell Biv Devoe. Definitely vinyl or a cassette with a lot of hiss.

I listened to that man, every night Monday - Friday for 10 years, from the time I was 8 to 18. He and Prince played by him, were my lullaby's through my MOST influential years! Which explains my arrogance, btw! It was definitely EMBEDDED in me and I know by who!

I may not know alot about a lot of things but I DO KNOW MOJO and I know I'm feeling Mojo, right now!

If it's a Mojo perpetrator, I'll give 'em mad props because like Prince...that's a genius that isn't EASILY duplicated!

Alright. I've been listening for the last 4 hours (An hour ago, I pulled out my boombox to listen, because the online stream is really annoying).

I'm firmly in the "It's Mojo" camp. If indeed it is you, Welcome Back Old Friend.

Here's what I think we're hearing. As stated, Mojo is not going to "Give the game away" and immediately pull an old school Prince-followed-by-Run Dmc-followed-by-Hendrix-followed-by B52s set. He wants to keep this job, if indeed it is him. He's playing some amazing stuff that none of us have heard on the radio in YEARS. No matter, whoever is spinning tonight - they've got us all listening, they've got me listening, and I honestly haven't listened to much radio SINCE Mojo left the air (of 105.9, no less) back in '98.

I have to admit that I don't remember Mojo very much, but my husband who is 6 years older than me has told me many stories of his Mojo listening years. He was a very dedicated listener for years. So I am listening tonight, and I really love what i am hearing. Whomever it is, they are playing a lot of songs I haven't heard in years on the radio.

Umph!! Just a taste of what "Mama Used To Say"!

My Mama used to say, "Trust your gut, baby! Always trust your gut!" cool

My gut is telling me that's Mojo! Maybe I shouldn't have asked Tune Up, all willy nilly like that and it would have been a more convincing set but even for what it was and what I've heard the last few weeks, I still feel him!

Yeah, I've got that vibe, Mojo! wink
