Gospel Hour
04/28/09 was the last Tuesday of regular programming, and, inspired by the Skidmore Gospel Choir, I decided to transform the Jonsson basement-booth into an evangelical sanctuary. Mostly aided by a CD my dad gave me for my birthday, "Classic African-American Gospel," my playlist featured songs from as early as 1945, as well as contemporary tunes. Despite the same angry caller from last week, I thought it was an enjoyable final show. If you've got any questions about specific tracks, comment and I'll get back to you. Otherwise, I hope to play for you guys in the Fall! Thanks for listening!

I'm alive, I promise
Alright, ladies and fellas...
I'm sorry if you've tried to acquire playlists from this site and have been thinking me to be a bodiless voice who is only a part of the real world from 3-5 pm on Tuesday evenings. To be honest, I've been doing a subpar DJing job this semester, partially due to my courseload and partially due to the chronic oversaturation (read: too much music!) my brain's been receiving lately. Regardless, I'm getting back in the saddle and will begin to be a productive DJ for the last couple weeks of the semester. Late start, I know. Here's the rough gist of what I've played on the good weeks this semester, in case you're curious:
02/24/09: Oscar-themed. Music from the soundtracks of "Almost Famous," "High Fidelity," "Now & Then," "Garden State," "Juno," "That Thing You Do," "The Parent Trap," "Rushmore," and "I'm Not There."
03/03/09: Pre-Spring Break. Music about New York (the great state in which we reside), Chicago (my place of origin), and California (my destination for Spring Break '09!).
03/24/09: "Soul Brothers & Soul Sisters." Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and Dusty Springfield.
04/21/09: Summer Music Preview. The music of artists coming out with fresh discs this spring and summer, including but not limited to: Grizzly Bear, Conor Oberst, Wilco, Regina Spektor, Sonic Youth, and the Flaming Lips. Based off the preview article in Rolling Stone 04/02/09: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/26794055/spring_music_preview_inside_45_of_the_years_biggest_albums
Next week might be the final week of regular programming, in which case I'll try my best to plan a stellar show. I knew I needed to up the ante when I was approached by two members of Tuesday afternoon's fiber arts class and told by each that their entire class tunes in every week... Sorry to disappoint, guys.

P.S. 11/11/08
On the 11th, I played a show that was more of a Listening Experience: I played the full album of Wilco's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" uninterrupted. If you missed it, I'd be more than glad to burn you a copy and mail it to you, wherever you are. It's the most beautiful album I've ever heard, and could be the most beautiful album you ever hear.
Here is the Pitchfork review I quoted: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/23177-wilco-yankee-hotel-foxtrot
And here's a review David Fricke wrote in Rolling Stone: http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/322307/review/5946403/yankeehotelfoxtrot
Just a little addendum; I forgot to write last week... Thanks for listening!

No Wilco?!
I thought I'd have an extended slot this week because Charlie & Alex (the DJs after me) were going to be late, but I ended up playing just more than my normal time... Hopefully I'll be able to entertain you all with Part II next time I'm on air.
Here was the day's playlist:
"(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone" - Aretha Franklin
"I Say A Little Prayer For You" - Aretha Franklin
"Get Lonely" - The Mountain Goats
"Up the Wolves" - The Mountain Goats
"My Little Town" - Simon & Garfunkel
"Homeward Bound" - Simon & Garfunkel
"Hour Follows Hour" - Ani Difranco
"School Night" - Ani Difranco
"Rock & Roll" - Velvet Underground
"Sunday Morning" - Velvet Underground
"Lost Cause" - Beck
"Volcano" - Beck
"All the Old Showstoppers" - The New Pornographers
"Letter from an Occupant" - The New Pornographers
"Wrapped Up in Books" - Belle & Sebastian
"Lazy Line Painter Jane" - Belle & Sebastian
...Look for Joni Mitchell, The Weepies, Otis Redding, and more after Thanksgiving if I can fit it in! Next week I'm going to find a sub because I'll be on my way back to Chicago (to hang out with Wilco), so tune in if you'd like to hear something different, then Radio Cure is back on the air Tuesday, December 2nd - the third-to-last show of the semester!
