I'm gonna interview Fredo...

[MissCrafty]

Hell yea , I've been in touch with Fredo Ortiz himself lately,and if you know he was the last former percussionist of the Beasties.

Not gonna happen anytime too soon since he is in South Africa now on tour,but sometime this month or next I'm gonna air a show with him. It will definitely be like a tribute to the Beastie Boys!

I'm even breaking down the interview into 2 parts. One is for my regular show called Lava Lamps & 8-Track Theatre,and the other is for an old school hip hop mix special I'm working on which will also feature Fresh Kid Ice of 2 Live Crew lol.Both will air on Free Radio Santa Cruz 101.3FM and online. I've even been working on my own mashups of Beastie Boys acapellas and gangsta rap beats.

What questions should I ask Fredo????????

[pesto pizza]

ask
Were you annoyed that Mike D copied you on wearing Vans slip ons?
What are the beasties really like and what do they do in their spare time?
Did you ever get drunk with adrock and Mike D?

[abbott]

i know there is alot more knowledge about Fredo than me. He came to town and held a drum workshop for kids then put on a show friday that I took my wife to. I did walk next to him but never said anything. He was hugging old ladies and being a perfect guest. Also put on a good show, as part of the drumming group. in New Mexico.

Just came across as a first class guy. Hope it goes great.

[Micodin]

Ask him if I could get my Stones Throw lighter back. Thanks.

[MissCrafty]

Cool questions so far lol,keep em coming!


Anyways just an update. Spoke to Fredo briefly yesterday on FB and he told me he's gonna call me when he gets back home from the Gorgol Bordhello Euro tour! Already spoke with Fresh Kid Ice also.

Turns out they might not be on the same show afterall,but I have been working on a mix which includes both Beasties and 2 Live Crew..

[coreyisking711]

ask about the recording process of The Mix Up. was he involved in the recording process of any of their other albums? ask about funny tour stories. (i always wondered were there 3 separate tour buses? if so on which bus did he and Money Mark and Mix Master Mike ride?)

[fonky pizza]

Ask Fredo about his solo project Bongoloidz! A tour? A new album?

Fans are waiting!

[MissCrafty]

Yes I love Bongoloidz!! Definitely will ask him about that. I get a feeling the time is getting close to speak to him.

Anyways I'm on the air now and expecting a call from Fresh Kid Ice lol..

Tune in!!!! http://bit.ly/1VHGHax

[Extra Cheese]

ask him how he ended up getting down and touring with de la soul. and if he's gonna be on the new album at all. thanks

[fonky pizza]

Ask him to tell some stories about playing and touring with BS2000!

[MissCrafty]

I'm gonna be speaking to him very soon. I'm really gonna ask all of your questions Especially the one whether he got drunk with Adrock and Mike D.

Anyways I'm planning to air this Saturday at 9PM PST.

Can't wait to ask him what types of videogames the Beastie Boys played on their tourbus,and what kinda frozen pizza brand he prefers.

[MissCrafty]

Just an update....

My special episode is still being produced and will air for sure next Saturday.At the last minute it didn't air last due to Fredo being tied up with a few things last week. Still keeping in touch with him tho,haven't got down the interview yet,but will very soon.

He will appear on my regular radio show as well,most likely alongside the creator of the Pitfall game for Atari 2600. I'll keep y'all posted.

In the meantime I've been listening to alot of Bongoloidz lately. Keep the questions coming if you still got some!

[abbott]

ask if he knows about the time his wife sent me a facebook friend request, then deleted me as a friend a few days later.

Then she saw me in ABQ and said Hi.

Anyway, got to see her photos. Liked the one of her on the beach covered with shells. Some type of VIP beach that I aint ever seen.

[abbott]

Im sure her friend request was a total error, on her part.

[MissCrafty]

lol

I'm on the air now and about to talk to Fredo please tune in and hear me throw down some obscure Beastie cuts during the mix!

Tune in..

[Extra Cheese]

did you ask him about de la soul?

[YoungRemy]

Fredo's been a cool follow on social media lately, with all of his recent musical projects, tours, and music videos.

On a personal note, he has gone through the emotional roller coaster of losing his mother recently and then seeing the birth of his daughter within a short frame of time later.

All hail Alfredo Ortiz!

Fredo had been posting updates and waxing nostalgia from Oscope this week, where he is recording with Gogol Bordello on their latest album.
