River City Limits presents:

Of course we all love no talking time. And we all love all local time. But today there’s a new horse in town. And her name is “No Bands”. That’s right! For TOO LONG have bands evaded the watchful eye of the new horse. But no longer. For now, at least, the age of the bands is brought to a rapid halt.

 

For TWO ENTIRE HOURS this beautiful Saturday evening you’re very FAVORITE Noah Page (thank you, thank you very much, yes I know, I think so too) brings you ALL MUSIC FROM OUR OWN VERY CITY, with also plus NO TALKING and now the brand new limited edition NO BANDS. I don’t know what you’ll do with yourselves.

 

But I know you will do it correctly.

Have you ever thought and wondered about what it would be like if there was a bridge like going across a river but it was made entirely out of straw, like the one house that one little pig built? Probably not! But I’ll tell you who has: Kelli Strawbridge. Because it’s in his name. Honestly, I’m just guessing about this tho, I didn’t ask him about it.

 

But I did ask him about all his bands (Prabir Trio, Mikrowaves, Mekong Xpress, KINGS, and tan.gent), his podcast The Hustle Season, the general state of the genre of rock, and his life as a musician in our beautiful city. In one of our longest interviews ever, it’s Kelli Strawbridge & Noah Page. But this time WITHOUT DJ Williams.

 

Mekong Xpress sounds like a train. Not like the band sounds like a train sounds. Like the name of the band it sounds like the name of a train. If they did sound like a train sounds that be a p lit ass train tho. Oh, and this is usually a rap show tho js don’t forget.

Today: a show about tonight. Tonight: a night about next year. Next year: a show about tonight. Is this confusing? Well, luckily Dulcet will help you make sense of it all in just a few hours.

 

Dulcet is a band and they’re hosting a livestreamed New Year’s Eve concert and it’s going to be cool. And they’re on The Noah Page Show (which is not what it’s called) today to talk about it with Noah Page.

 

This is a rap show.

Women & Politics presents:

We end this tumultuous year with Part II of our show discussing the Governor race in Virginia. Our host Sheri Shannon continues her talk with Ebony B. Guy and Dr. Rachel Anne Levy discussing the expanding governor’s race in Virginia and what it means for two Black Women who have been leading in representing Virginians. Two experienced politicians: Senator Jennifer McClellan and former Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy are considered to be the frontrunners. Princess Blanding has joined the race under a new party. The question arises: are the male candidates are even contenders?

Think of your Fellowman! Lend him a helping hand! I just watched Scrooged while I was finishing up this week’s episode. Didn’t they ruin that song, the way they sang it at the end? That was a good scene though. Whole movie was good, really. Idk if I’ve ever seen Bobcat Goldthwait actually appear on screen in anything else tbh. And the lady from Star Trek: First Contact! Bill Murray would’ve been nicer to her if he knew she helped invent the future, probably.

 

Anyway, it was a funny coincidence. Because today on the show Fellowman joins Noah Page to talk about his new album, the livestreamed release party (taking place the day after Christmas), his work promoting rap and hip-hop in Charlottesville, and even about one specific t-shirt. I like this episode, and I think you will too really.

 

Not to wiggle out another can of cranberry sauce from its can. This is a rap show.
