Editor’s note: 2 DJs and a Boombox is exactly that. Dark Knight, a popular radio personality, and Moss Pit, a local mobile music DJ, play each other a few tunes and let their thoughts flow.

Dark Knight and Moss Pit: One, two, three …

MP: Paper covers rock. I go first.

“S.M.D.U.”

Brock Landars

DK: I recognize the Blur “Song 2” right away.

MP: I think it will be a huge dance floor tune.

DK: This could be a great club song. That’s the thing, sometimes there are songs that are huge in clubs that never get airplay.

MP: I love that “whoo hoo.”

DK: I always liked this song. We never played it, but I always liked it.

MP: This guy’s a total pimp on the cover. I would have bought it even if the song would have sucked.

DK: Hello, my name is Brock Landars.

MP: What do you think of this rap here? I could probably go without it.

DK: That’s something I’ve noticed that started with Bone Thugs — that rapping real fast thing. You know, it’s cool. But yet, what the hell is he saying?

MP: This part uses the same music from Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up.” Have you seen that video?

DK: Yeah, I saw it before MTV pulled it because there were boobies in it. That’s probably the reason most people watched in the first place.

“I Will Wait”

Hootie and the Blowfish

DK: I like this song, but at the same time, it sounds like everything they’ve ever done. It’s nothing real new. This slow part right here sounds like “She Crawls Away” off the last album.

MP: That was my problem with “Fairweather Johnson.” It wasn’t annoying to listen to. But you wanted so bad to hear something new. It was so much like “Cracked Rear View.”

DK: I mean, I like Hootie. It’s just that on the third album you expect to hear something different and I’m not hearing it here. But, I’m sure unless something horribly wrong happens, we’ll probably be playing the hell out of it the next couple weeks.

MP: It’s really not that catchy.

DK: This is the stuff that oldies stations 20 years from now are going to be playing the hell out of. I doubt we’ll be hearing a lot of …

MP: Brock Landars?

DK: Well, quite honesty, I don’t think we’ll be listening to Puff Daddy 20 years from now. Hootie is really not quite that different from the music 20 years ago.

MP: Did you ever see that Saturday Night Live skit where they rip on Hootie and the Blowfish? Tim Meadows looks just like Hootie, and he’s singing this song at a frat party and all the lyrics are changed to make fun of how much they cater to frat guys. Singing about how much beer they can drink in one night and wearing khakis.

“Little Willy”

Sweet

MP: This is an oldie, but a goodie. I play it DJing quite a bit.

DK: Oh man, “Little Willy won’t go.”

MP: I had this on 45″ at the skating rink I DJed at in high school. I played it so much, the lettering on the record was wearing off by the time I quit.

DK: This is one of those you hear in a store on Musak and it’s in your head the rest of the day. That’s how addictive this song is.

MP: This is the part where everyone screws up. They try to sing along but they’re always early.

DK: It’s like in “Mony Mony,” when there’s the one verse where he doesn’t do it. Wow, this is a rollerskating rink song. It was like this and Abba.

MP: Check out the picture on the cover. I had to bring two CDs today with the flashy ’70s garb on the cover. Look at that Colt 45 T-shirt. You gotta love that.

DK: “Nothing better than hanging with a couple of friends and drinking a smooth Colt 45.” Billy Dee was cool when he did those, but as soon as he did a sucky infomercial it was like, Lando — what are you doing?

“Another One Bites The Dust”

Queen with Wyclef Jean

DK: This is a pretty good use of a sample. He basically takes the original song and takes the Freddy Mercury lyrics out and makes his own song with him rapping. I mean, the beat for this song is perfect for a rap.

MP: Junkyard Dog’s theme song, baby.

DK: Man, old WWF. I haven’t thought of that for years.

MP: The piledriver. That was his move. Wyclef is probably my favorite rapper out right now.

DK: I got to interview Pras a couple of weeks ago. That was cool. We were chatting about stuff he and Wyclef were doing.

MP: Does Pras have a solo CD coming out?

DK: Yeah, in October. I haven’t heard it, but it’s called “Ghetto Superstar.”

MP: This right here sounds like the same chick that raps on “All About The Benjamins.”

DK: Yeah, it does. I think it’s MC Lyte.

MP: Yeah. I saw Wyclef at the Tibetan Freedom Festival this summer. It was so cool. He started out with some outrageous cover of “Rockin’ Robin” or something.

DK: That’s why I like those kind of guys. They’ll go off and do something totally unexpected. This is one the more I listen to, the more I think it will do well.
