90's Slowjams Mix? Yes please!

DJ Boogie Brown brings you all the slowjams that I used to try and put together using high-speed dubbing.

In his own words: "Before there was myspace, chat rooms, AIM, iPods, MP3's and texting, we had things like party lines, pen pals, Walkmans, mixtapes (actual cassette tapes) and pagers. Now when you're 13 years old with no money and no job, one of the only things you could do to show that person you had a crush on how you felt about them was to either make a mixtape or dedicate a song on the radio. In the Bay Area in the 90's the show to dedicate that song and publicly declare your love for that special someone was KMEL's 'The Love Zone.' This mix hopes to capture that whole feel good era of high school crushes and teenage love, and I wanted to take you back to the days of old fashioned house parties and slow dancing."

Homeless man calls 911 from hot tub, seeks cocoa

Homeless man calls 911 from hot tub, asks for towels, hug, hot chocolate

A homeless man who called 911 from the hot tub of a suburban Portland home and asked for towels, hot chocolate and a hug got arrested for trespassing instead.


Beaverton police say Mark Eskelsen called 911 from his cell phone, identified himself as "the sheriff of Washington County," and asked for medical help. He later admitted he wasn't the sheriff but informed the dispatcher he'd been "yelling for about an hour and a half."

The man said in his Sunday morning call that he'd been in the water about 10 hours and his towels had gotten wet. As he put it, "I just need a hug and a warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in it."

The Oregonian newspaper says arriving officers arrested Eskelsen for investigation of second-degree criminal trespass and improper use of 911.
