This weekend was an exciting weekend on the VI. For those who weren’t running on Saturday, masses were drinking over at Woody’s since 7AM, cheering on their friends in the race and indulging in blackened chicken sandwiches with onion rings. Still over at Woody’s, Brad Mason was the winner of the Metallica Fly-Away to Puerto Rico. After that everyone headed back to St. Thomas to go over to Shipwreck Tavern at 10PM to rip up the dance floor and drink some more Coors Light. The big winner of the night scoring a pair of Metallica tickets there was Cory Siegferth. Over at Lost Dog Pub on St. Croix, a great party was had as far as turnout and response from the community. Everyone was there for the big drawing, where the Metallica Fly Away winner was Sammual Lopez. All in all, a productive weekend with give-a-ways, drinking, and all the winners pumped to get the VIP treatment to see Metallica on Sunday March 14th.
St Thomas asked for it and it comes back for one night only!

I am leaning to the left, trying not to let water drip from my matted hair onto the keyboard. I don’t know why i just bailed from the studio here on Crown Mountain, stripped down on the porch and danced in a tropical rain shower. Maybe because my body was still caked with salt water and sweat from this morning’s dive. Maybe because I knew the only eyes in the rain forest belonged to coki’s and iguana’s. Or maybe it was something more primal. For some reason I felt compelled to call Rob in California. How primal is that? Crouching, naked, under a banana tree, sharing the rain on speaker phone with someone on the other side of the world. It began to pour so hard that the seven foot banana leaf wasn’t working, so I peaced out, stashed the phone and started walking into the jungle. I felt clean, cool rain washing over bug bites and coral cuts. I felt my pace quicken, soft mud squishing between my toes, and suddenly stopped… “What the f$#k am I doing?” I looked up and gazed into the stinging drops of water. I opened my mouth and started peeing… “I am a human being on planet Earth.” The thought resounded in my mind. I am both a father and a son. I am both crazy and sane. A guide and a follower. A loaner and a borrower. I am shallow. I am deep. I am certified, vilified and mystified. The mountain was steep and I was slipping. I stopped myself, looked down and saw that I was leaking onto a tropical flower only God or Dr Suess could have created. I felt bad and leaned to the left, letting my stream flow into a little run off that disappeared down the mountain. It is quite possible that my urine will end up in someone’s cistern down in Caret Bay. If you are ever in the Virgin Islands, drink bottled water. Better yet. Get naked in da rain. Look up. Open your mouth… and think.
We are all looking forward to seeing the God’s of Rock in Puerto Rico on March 14. We still have 1 more pair of tickets including round trip airfair, hotel and limo. Just text the word Coors to 20899!!!!

This morning, Joey Hamilton, Executive Director of the St. Thomas Swimming Association dropped in on the Morning Dizzaster and was interviewed by Web. The St. Thomas Swimming Association is the only public pool on St. Thomas or St. John which offers a variety of aquatic programs and enrolls students in recreational, competitive and water safety programs. The STSA Aquatics Programs are available to everyone, need based scholarships may be available upon request. Some of the options included as part of the Aquatics Programs are the Learn to Swim Program for children 6 months up to adult beginners and private lessons which are open to anyone and all abilities. There is also the Stingrays Swim Team. The STSA also offers an Aquatics Rehabilitation and a Masters Swimming Program.
Also touched upon in the interview was children’s water safety, to reduce the risk of drowning- more specifically, The Kids Alive Program. For those who aren’t familiar with Kids Alive-Do the Five this means:
1 Fence the Pool
2 Shut the Gate
3 Learn to Swim
4 Supervise
5 Learn to Resuscitate
.
The Buzz is proud to be an official sponsor of The STSA and Kids Alive. We firmly believe that by doing so we are raising water safety awareness, preventing injuries, and helping to make beaches and swimming pools a safer and more fun place for our children. For more information or to sign up today call the STSA at (340)779-7872 or log on to www.sttswimming.org.
We will be at Woody’s on St John to draw the name of the lucky Buzz listener to go to PR with a friend to see Metallica from 3 to 6 pm!!! Then we will be at Shipwreck Tavern on St Thomas from 10 – midnight to draw the name for the St Thomas winner. Come and enjoy some ice cold Coors Lights with us!!! ;]
As part of The Buzz Mid Winter Concert Series brought down by Jarett Hartstone of Hartstone Productions, The Nate Wilson Group traded in the cold temperatures of Boston for some Caribbean rain, playing a total of ten shows in the USVI. Gathering much of their inspiration from hard rock of the 60’s and 70’s, the group has drawn comparisons to Led Zeppelin, Wolfmother, and The Black Keys to name a few. Also from Massachusetts, we were treated to the sounds of Toussaint with the organ trio The Trama Unit. Featuring Toussaint’s powerful, husky vocals his music combines a mix of reggae, funk, blues, and soul. The band jammed out with original material as well as some covers over at Fat Turtle, Jack’s, Beach Bar, Larry’s Landing, Rhumb Line’s, Blue Moon Cafe, Zebo’s, Rowdy Joe’s, and Brew Pub.
As we bid farewell to 2009 and settle into 2010 we can’t help but look back on some of the music that made our format successful and our job easy over here at the Buzz. So what were we playing? Our Top Ten list of 2009 for songs with the most radio playand requests:
1 All American Rejects “Gives You Hell”
2 Kings of Leon “Use Somebody”
3 Foo Fighters “Wheels”
4 Cage the Elephant “Back Against the Wall”
5 Paramore “Ignorance”
6 Pearl Jam “Fixer”
7 Alice In Chains “Check My Brain”
8 Creed “Overcome”
9 Rob Zombie “What”
10 Depeche Mode “Wrong”
It really was a fantastic year in music here at The Buzz. We watched older bands like Alice in Chains come back after ten years and Guns N’ Roses finally released new material. New bands like Paper Tongues came out with two top ten hits and Cage the Elephant has quickly become one of our listeners’ favorites.
On a more personal note, thanks to our listeners and clients, who helped bring The Buzz to a new level in 2009. We want to sincerely thank everyone who came out to all of our events and made them successful. It’s safe to say 2009 marked the year we went from being the underdog to the alpha-dog. We look forward to what’s in store for 2010!

We make radio easy, we do our job, we have a huge coverage area that entertains St. Thomas and beyond and we wok hard for our clients. Yes, The Buzz is different. And that’s the point. That’s our strength.
