Club 770 Week 4: The Sound of Insanity

Posted on by

So following a really long night at College Library (I’m currently living in academic hell), I had a nice 5 AM trip to WSUM.

This morning’s show had absolutely no organization and was mostly requests and songs I like until I decided to do my job and play some Sunny Day In Glasgow and Common Loon before this weekend.

It’s not worth wasting words with the reasoning behind most of these tracks. A lot of them were requests from my eight online listeners. Ha.

Here. [download]

  • Tenth Avenue Freeze Out – Bruce Springsteen
  • Taking Control – Alberta Cross
  • Taller Children – Elizabeth and the Catapult
  • Old Old Fashioned – Frightened Rabbit
  • Once In A Lifetime – Talking Heads
  • I’ll Believe In Anything – Wolf Parade
  • Hold The Line – Major Lazer
  • Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) – The Arcade Fire
  • Shy – A Sunny Day In Glasgow
  • Dinosaur vs Early Man – Common Loon
  • Stillness Is The Move [cover] – Solange
  • Stillness Is The Move – Dirty Projectors
  • New Morning – Bob Dylan

That’s what insanity sounds like.

Club 770 Week Three

So I have managed to be at WSUM by 5 AM three weeks in a row. Online listeners to Club 770: The WUD Music Hour doubled this week, so I was pretty pumped about that.

Here’s how it went down. [download minus the Surfer Blood track which for some reason won't go to my desktop]

The Upcoming Stuff Part:

  • Beach Comber – Real Estate
  • Death By Dust – Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson
  • Just Broke Up – Smoking Popes
  • The Freshest Kids – Toki Wright, Brother Ali, and Evidence

In honor of Bangerville becoming Fun Cartel and probably becoming something else by the time Friday gets here:

  • What You Know x One More Time – Matt Forrest

Okay, so it’s the “On Rotation in the Office” part!! The first track here is probably going to get me kicked off committee… whatever. The second one obviously makes up for it. This week featured what essentially turned into a “recently leaked” section…

  • Half Of My Heart (ft. Taylor Swift) – John Mayer
  • Catholic Pagans – Surfer Blood
  • Horchata – Vampire Weekend

By request, for Brandon Clementi:

  • Crown on the Ground – Sleigh Bells

By request of Ethan Berlin, but also kind of for Peter Truby because of, you know, the whole “in love with Angel Deradoorian” thing:

  • Two Doves – Dirty Projectors (also check this out, it’s an excellent article)

Way too many play counts in my iTunes, but I really, really like this one:

  • Instruct Me – The Drums

My parents were listening, and if you realized how many times I made them listen to this CD in the car before I could drive… you’d understand:

  • New Slang – The Shins

Okay! That was this week! I’d love to hear YOUR requests for next week.

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.
