Sorry guys...

...but it looks as if I'll have to forego tonight's show yet again; schoolwork does, after all, come first, and there's no way I can do it in the studio. I really hate having to do this, but nobody listens to the radio at 1:30 in the morning anyway, especially since most people have to wake up early tomorrow morning. I perfectly understand, guys. If and when I get a slightly better time starting in February, perhaps your weekly post-rock fix won't be so, well, not-as-weekly. I should probably stick to this, but this is college, after all. Hopefully I'll post something (anything, really) sometime this week, and there WILL be a show next week at the promised time. Sorry once again, and hope you guys have a good week!

Organized Chaos: So cool, it celebrates New Year's two weeks late.

Happy new year 2008, everyone! Hope the past few weeks without the show have been going well. Though I can only promise you it'll get better now that it's back!

Sorry for the belated post; life sometimes gets in the way of doing what you really want. Anyway, here's this week's playlist:

1. Dirty Three -- Hope
2. My Bloody Valentine -- Don't Ask Why
3. Phaser -- Life and Illusion
4. Fridge -- Semaphore
5. Maserati -- Show Me the Season
6. God Is an Astronaut -- From Dust To the Beyond
7. 65daysofstatic -- Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here
8. Laurie Anderson -- O Superman (For Massenet)
9. Autechre -- Rotar
10. Battles -- Atlas
11. LCD Soundsystem -- Someone Great
12. Talk Talk -- New Grass
13. Saxon Shore -- The Revolution Will Be Streaming

And as always, this week's iMix:

CORRECTION: I mentioned that the song "Don't Ask Why" by My Bloody Valentine was from their last EP, Tremolo, from 1991. In fact, it's from their second-to-last EP, 1990's Glider. Here's to getting music facts wrong. :-(

Anyway, the last part of the Dirty Three retrospective is on the YAM/Questionable Content blog; you can check it out here! Take care everyone, and see you next week!

Notice

There will be no show tonight, 1/7. The first show of 2008 will be next Monday morning, 1/14, at the usual time of 1:30 AM.

A Dirty Three retrospective

Since the show won't be back for the next couple of weeks due to winter break (and my leaving campus tomorrow morning!), I thought I'd share something I found with all you listeners to tide you over. On this music blog, they've started a retrospective of the Dirty Three, a post-rock band I've featured numerous times on the show and one of my personal favorites. Only the first part of three is up right now, but I encourage you to check it out every so often for the next part, as well as some excellent (and not-so-excellent) articles currently up. I certainly will, and I'll post the link for the second part when it's up! Anyway, take care, and happy holidays!

EDIT (12/18/2007): The second part is up! Check it out here!

EDIT (1/16/2008): And here's the third and final part! Some great music writing overall.

Today's show

If you listened in, I hope you enjoyed tonight's show. There won't be another one for awhile because of winter break, but I'll be back early January, same time, same place. Anyway, here's the playlist:

1. Fridge -- Swerve and Spin
2. Do Make Say Think -- Fredericia
3. Autechre -- Dael
4. Boards of Canada -- The Devil Is In The Details
5. Slint -- Don, Aman
6. My Bloody Valentine -- Swallow
7. God Is an Astronaut -- Forever Lost
8. Talk Talk -- After the Flood
9. Godspeed You! Black Emperor -- Sleep
10. Aphex Twin -- Pulsewidth
11. God Is an Astronaut -- All Is Violent, All Is Bright

And because I forgot to do this last time, here's an iMix of the past two episodes! Yes!!!

A poll should be up later today. And there might be something on Facebook too (anyone who uses it anyway...and who doesn't?)! Stay tuned for that!

Yet another cancelled show

Well, even though I promised a show this week, and even though I was looking forward to it, I have no choice but to cancel tonight's show. This is because I have an immense workload right now (for a college radio DJ like myself, studies have to come first, I'm afraid). Plus, have you looked outside your window? It's snowing...and there's SLEET. The National Weather Service is expecting anywhere between 5-9 inches of snow before this latest storm lets up Monday night. So it's actually a little dangerous out there. I for one don't want to risk slipping and falling and breaking something unless I absolutely have to go out there (such as, here again, classes). But I promise you all out there that there WILL most definitely be a show next week, in the little respite between the end of classes and the beginning of exams week. So in the meantime, I'll try to make up for a lack of show with posts at varying times this week, and I hope everyone does well in their last week of classes! Take care, and stay safe.

It's back, and better than ever!

So after a two-week unintentional hiatus (DJ technology, I like you but stop playing so hard to get), the show was back last night!! And I think it was my best yet! Here was last night's playlist:

1. God Is an Astronaut -- The End of the Beginning
2. Maserati -- Inventions
3. Battles -- Ddiamondd
4. Bark Psychosis -- Pendulum Man
5. Talk Talk -- Ascension Day
6. Neu! -- Hallogallo
7. Jesu -- Dead Eyes
8. Fridge -- Furniture Boy
9. DJ Shadow -- Stem/Long Stem
10. Boards of Canada -- Dayvan Cowboy
11. Cocteau Twins -- Persephone
12. Can -- Oh Yeah
13. God Is an Astronaut -- Fragile

(Sorry for not saying what the last song was -- now you know!)

And as always, the poll and iMix should be up later today. Thanks for listening, and see you in two weeks! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Show update

So it turns out I aired nothing but dead air last week after all. Damn. I didn't find out from anyone; I just suspected it. Apparently I still can't get the station to play the songs off my laptop. Oh well. This time I will actually play songs, I promise.

So, here's a heads-up to tonight's program: the playlist will mostly be a repeat of the playlist I was trying to play last week. The exact same songs will play in the exact same order, only this time you should be able to hear them! Then I'll add a few other songs to round out the broadcast. And tonight's will most definitely be very interesting!! So please take a listen!

Also, there will be no program next week, due to Thanksgiving break. Even though I'll be back on campus that night, I would have just returned, and I would probably need the time to readjust to the last three weeks of the semester, which any college student can attest is Crunch Time. I'm terribly sorry for all the inconsistencies in the schedule over the past few weeks...I'll be a lot better next semester, you have my word.

So the situation has been fixed, and now I know what to do should it happen again. Here's to an actually successful show next Sunday! Make sure to listen!

Tonight's Show Cancelled

Due to major technical difficulties, tonight's show had to be canceled. Sorry to anyone who was looking forward to it! I'll see what I can do this week to fix this problem, but in the meantime, stay tuned for next week! It will be fine then, I promise. (Unless, of course, the WRMC staff have completely slaughtered me for not following procedure or whatever. If there isn't a show next week, you know why! ;-)
