They played Numbers Last Saturday night! But you're right, Mesopotamia ... that's the ONE!

If its realy MOJO out on the waves I will die. I heard a couple years back he was suppose to get his own show on satelite radio. Im 35 grew up in Detroit and fell asleep with my headphones on since i was a young kid listening. The music he played and the unity it brought between cultures proved to me at a very young age that there is no black or white. I will never forget being on the boblo boat throwing down when i was a little boy to planet rock.... Memories and there all cause of Mojo and the music he enlightened me too. I would love to get all the MOTORBABIES together one night at a bar and have the sounds of MOJO play all night long!!!!!

Alright, Mojo!! I feel you!! They're using your shit and not gonna give you, your motherfucking props!!! I got you!!!
[Edited 9/3/07 15:48pm]

Haven't you heard? followed by When Doves Cry!!! Followed By Uptown!!! That's Mojo's shit!!!

Then Sugar Walls into Glamorous Life!!! Mojo needs our help!!!

I don't know about the rest of y'all but I'm going to get Mojo back on the air doing his Mojo thing, if it's the last thing that I do!!

If you want to help, feel free to let me know! This whole freaking weekend has been about the shit that got Mojo off the air in the first place and now 105.9 thinks they are going to use his shit and capitalize on it like it's their idea without including Mojo! BULLSHIT!!! FUCK THAT! I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!

I got his name mentioned on air tonight and that's the best I could do right now but believe me, this shit ain't over!!

Mojo

I haven't heard from Mojo in years. It would be great to have him around again. I used to call and speak to him every sunday night when he was on 98 ( I think). I'm missed what you all were listening to because I was in Grand Rapids



Smooches;)

I will! I promise!!
[Edited 9/3/07 18:41pm]

Yes it will!

Everything's gonna be alright!

I'd rather be with you too!!!

You've got my family thinking I'm having a nervous breakdown! Quit playing, orgnote me and tell me what the hell is going on!!

Mojo, silly! I found out what happened too, though not from Mojo After phone calls, emails, and threats of picketing, I found out that allegedly the station bought up a bunch Mojo's old mix tapes and let Gary and Wax mix them.

I still say they should have given Mojo his props because that shit was nice as hell all weekend long! I haven't felt that good about radio in twenty years. I knew that had to be Mojo.

Too bad it wasn't really Mojo! Ah well I guess I can honestly say, an imitation of Mojo was better than no Mojo at all. I just knew I'd get to hear the mothership land just one more time. At any rate, I still want my Mojo!! Now more than ever!

The problem with that is Mojo never made mixtapes - and even though a lot of what was played is stuff from Mojo's golden era, the mixing itself sounded nothing like Mojo. You can't really be too mad at them - it's not like Mojo has some kind of patent on playing certain songs on the radio... whoever put those shows together obviously grew up on the same stuff we all did.

We should be glad Mojo isn't on the radio anymore... he wouldn't never be allowed to be himself and play the BROAD spectrum of music that he used to. Those sets adhered very, very closely to the station's normal playlist.

That's what I said!! I know good and well if there were some Mojo mix tapes on the market, I'd already have them.



This is where I disagree with you, at the times that I thought I was hearing Mojo, those mixes sounded JUST LIKE HIM! The flow of songs, the selection of songs, the way the songs blended, all of that, was vintage Mojo. Especially those Prince mixes. Even in Mojo's golden era, no one other than Mojo was playing those songs. If they were just trying to pay tribute to Mojo, they should have said so!

After my friends heard the recording I made from Saturday, at certain points they had to just look at me, with that damn, that is Mojo look on their faces.

So I don't know, maybe we'll find out this Saturday.

The one thing I do know is...

I WANT MY MOJO!!

We're gonna have to agree to disagree there, because #1 Mojo usually used the 12" versions of things to mix with, when applicable... and this DJ did not - and we all gave away the game here, because 105.9 people probably have been reading this thread closely - everytime one of us said "Yeah, but they haven't played 'THIS'..." .. "THIS" song has popped up. They've been toying with us from the beginning - it's all been a poor imitation of just ONE aspect of Mojo's old shows.

Ok, we'll agree to disagree but I did hear quite a few Mojo-esque 12"s. I know I heard the Glamorous Life 12", State of Shock 12", Rain Forest 12", and When Doves Cry 12" because they're on the show that I recorded from Saturday. Hear them for yourself! I heard a few others but I wasn't recording when I heard them.

And the million dollar question, why would anyone at 105.9 other than Mojo be looking at Prince.org?

I know for a fact that Mojo knows about this board because we discussed it during the chat on Holy River but I seriously doubt anyone else at 105.9 being even remotely interested in what goes on around here.



Anyhoo, can't wait to what hear you and the guys over at Emancipation Radio have got cooking. All this Mojo teasing has got me starved for some real Mojo!

Now, it's 10am in the freaking morning and I just mentioned Rain Forest not 10 minutes ago...guess what's playing, right now? Yes, Rain Forest!! The very first song after the Tom Joyner Morning Show and 105.9 returned to local broadcasting!

Good Morning, Mojo!!!
[Edited 9/7/07 7:28am]

Dang it! I can't find the lyrics and don't have the time to search for them from that very next song! "Feel that you're feelin'" Maze featuring Frankie Beverly.

Note to self...post those lyrics when I get back!

Next song "Been So Long" Anita Baker

It's been too long, Mojo!
