Ivory Antenna participated in an Ipod Battle yesterday to support community radio, competing for CHUO 89.1 FM against Reel Radio in Gatineau. Myself, my co-host, and a friend decked out in business attire (with my co-host dressing up as an L.A. bad-ass) to represent team "Guilty Pleasures".
This was out first Ipod Battle, and it was quite an interesting experience. For those who have never heard of such an event, you basically jump in a boxing ring with another team and battle with music. Each team plays 30 seconds of music and you dance ridiculously, and whichever team gets the loudest cheers, wins. It is quite intimidating, and we did not drink enough beforehand, I can tell you that.
My experience was as such: We jumped in the ring, won the rock-paper-scissors game to start first (kudos to my scissors!) and started with "99 problems". It was a success! We started to dance, not knowing what we were doing, but people were clapping and dancing. Our next song was a good one, and a guy jumped in the ring and started grinding with my co-host--who took it rather well. haha, we got an A for that! And with our last song, we chose wrong. No one really danced, no one cheered...it was kind of awkward. So...we lost. And that was it. Three songs and it was over for the Guilty Pleasures.
BUT, it was a riot. We all decided before going into the ring that we were just going to have fun, do out best, and if we lose...oh well. I personally had a blast acting like an idiot.
The thing is,we all were so nervous, but we succeeded. We tried something completely new and ridiculous...and it felt good! We supported our radio station and found out that rock music is not battle-worthy! Fun times, fun times!
