It’s a brutal truth: It’s almost time for school again. But on the bright side, the beginning of a new semester also means a return of WUD Music concerts. One of the concerts we’re pumped for is Deleted Scenes / A Lull on February 4th at The Sett, and the following news only makes it harder to wait.

For the moment, if you “like” Mush Records’ Facebook page, you can download A Lull’s “Some Love” single, along with three remixes of the track. The original is excellent, with pulsating drums and daybreak harmonies. Head over and listen for yourself, and be sure to make it out to The Sett when the band hits the stage in a few weeks.

Digging in the Crates

Just found this old gem in the ‘crates’ of my iTunes today from one of the more interesting hip-hop groups to emerge out of the early 2000s – Handsome Boy Modeling School

First off – great name. It’s creative. It’s classy. And it made fun of all other rappers during this time. Unfortunately they haven’t done much since 5 years ago. They should though.

Second – it made me rediscover how much better Ocean’s Eleven is than the rest of the Ocean’s movies (unless you are in a European mood then Twelve hits the spot). Yes if you recognize the song that is where it’s from. The scene with Rusty – who eats in next to every scene through out the series – is sitting at the bar with ‘dancers’ behind glass.

If that doesn’t sell it then maybe this will. Quite possibly the greatest title for any hip-hop album ever:

Cheers and keep it classy.

drumroll please….

michael bolton for “our love is like a holiday”. hell it may even win the award for crappiest song ever. it has earned my official “total crap” tag. i’m not sure when exactly michael bolton crafted this piece, but my guess is the early nineties. the early nineties was the only time this could have been even somewhat acceptable. “our love is like a holiday” is below. can you think of anything worse? i can’t. and i’ve even listened to the entire bob dylan christmas album.

rock on folks,

yeasayer annouced the title of their next album a few weeks ago. their second album, called odd blood, will be released february 9, 2010 according to pitchfork. to hold us over until then, secretly canadian (the record label yeasayer is with) has a free mp3 you can download from their site, and pictured above is its album artwork. the song available for download is the first single off the upcoming album. it’s called “ambling alp” and definitely worth a listen. click here to get the download.

A whole bunch of hours ago, I dragged myself over to USquare to talk to myself in the WSUM studios. There were at least 4 listeners, which makes it kind of worthwhile.

Here’s what I played! (I am not tech savvy enough to record the show stream, sorry.)

Club 770 Week 2 [download]

Say what you will about the opening track, but I woke up with it stuck in my head. I had to do it.

  • Ok, You’re Right – 50 Cent

The “Upcoming Shows” part

  • Saturday Morning – Real Estate
  • The Sound – Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson
  • Telephones – Headlights
  • Next Best Thing – Toki Wright

So Headlights and Toki Wright are both Molly Lloyd bookings, so I kicked off the “On Rotation In The Office” half of the show with a continuation of Molly songs… Dawes, duh.

  • When My Time Comes – Dawes

Okay, so my dad requested the next two. If you got up at 4:45 AM to hear my show, I’d play what you want to hear, too.

  • Two Weeks – Grizzly Bear
  • The Avalanche – Sufjan Stevens

For our lovely promo A.D., JLM Quam.

  • The Modern Leper – Frightened Rabbit

These next two were just for me, so whatever. I’m playing the music. I woke up at 4:22. I’m going to play what I want to listen to.

  • Home – Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
  • Once I Was Pretty – The Mary Onettes

And because Zola Jesus is featured in the vocals here…

  • In Earth’s Palm – Former Ghosts

Love you kids.

this is 91.7 fm wsum madison!

If you had happened to be up at 5 AM last Tuesday morning (or Monday night), you could have tuned in to the inaugural episode of the new WUD Music radio hour, Club 770, on 91.7 FM here in Madison, the student radio station. Don’t worry if you didn’t catch it, though, because here’s what I played.

Also, don’t worry, next semester the show will be at a real time.

What I Played [download]

These first two tracks commemorated the real Club 770 (R.I.P. Union South), where both played before they “got big.”

  • Together We’ll Ring In The New Year – Motion City Soundtrack
  • Ghost Under Rocks – Ra Ra Riot

A couple Memorial Union shows of the past…

  • Tiger Mountain Peasant Song – Fleet Foxes
  • Major Label Debut – Broken Social Scene

Some highlights of this semester so far:

  • Here Comes the Sky – Crocodiles
  • Pulling On A Line – Great Lake Swimmers

And now, for fun, “On Rotation In The Office” — what we’ve been listening to around the Union, wishing we could book, obsessing about, and singing along to in our bedrooms… That last one might just be me though.

  • Dreams – Smith Westerns
  • Swim (To Reach The End) – Surfer Blood
  • Let’s Go Surfing – The Drums
  • Love Is All I Am – Dawes
  • Animal (Mark Ronson Remix) – Miike Snow
  • are you still in vallda? – jj
  • Eminent Victorians – Princeton
  • Lust For Life – Girls

You can hear my lovely voice again in a couple days either over the airwaves or streaming on wsum.org and through iTunes. Or you can just wait and download the file of what I played because you are not masochistic and like to sleep.
