Sorry about the delay in putting this up! I've been meaning to do it for a while, but kept getting distracted. Such is the life of a college student. ;-)
Before I continue with the usual playlist and iMix, I would like to tell you all that I've been told that I couldn't be heard while doing today's broadcast. Instead of hearing my voice, all that seemed to be transmitted was dead air. Firstly, I would like to know if anyone else experienced the same problem. This most likely happened because we are currently operating temporarily out of the special productions room in the WRMC studios, as the soundboard in the main DJ booth was fried after last Sunday's campus-wide power outage and parts need to be shipped from England. This means trying to get used to new equipment very quickly. I firmly believe I was doing everything correctly on my end, but I'm told the situation will be checked out, and I will try my best not to let this happen again.
OK! On to the playlist!
1. Apparat - Useless Information
2. Portishead - Machine Gun

15. Jesu - Conqueror
16. From Monument to Masses - To Z (Repeat)
I was also responsible for the music for the first 45 minutes after the show. I basically played Cul de Sac's magnificent 2003 album,
Death of the Sun, in its entirety, followed by "23" by Blonde Redhead. This was because there were some issues with one of the DJs showing up for the show following mine, and I didn't want to leave the station broadcasting dead air.
Instead addition to asking people what songs they liked this week in the poll on the right, I'll also be asking whether or not you feel there is enough variety in the show. Lately I feel like I've been playing songs by the same artists and from the same albums, and I don't know if you listeners out there don't mind, or would like to see me shake things up once in a while. There's a whole world of this kind of music out there, and I hate to be closing people off from most of it because I play the same things. Please tell me what you think! Also, feel free to e-mail me (

Finally, here's the iMix! Hope you enjoyed today's show; see you next week!
