Hi Loves!

This week was our tenth episode of Club 770 (minus the two special edition episodes during finals week), so I decided to do something fun. So it was an all-requests hour! I played two self-requests… let me know if you can figure out which they were. Thanks to all listeners and downloaders and requesters… catch you next week!

Happy New Year, New Jersey!

So New Jersey has received some attention lately due to “Jersey Shore”, but the Garden State has some other great exports in 2k9.

I spent NYE watching the wonderfully ubiquitous reality show (new episode, yessss!), being really festive because I actually traveled to New Jersey TODAY to spend a few days in Princeton with Molly Lloyd, who is actually responsible for making sure this blog runs itself smoothly.

Other than Molly and “Jersey Shore,” NJ lays claim to one of WUD’s favorite bands: Real Estate. With links to UW grad student Julian Lynch, who we love to book, as well as a bunch of other Garden State and Brooklyn acts, Real Estate gets quite  a bit of love from blogs of the GvB ilk and in the words of John Ash, have a “space house” on their CD jewel case. They played der Rath the weekend of the Michigan game, and needless to say, it was a great show, if a bit sparsely attended.

Just a reminder not to forget the good things about New Jersey, 2009, and space houses.

Real Estate (they have a wikipedia entry. that’s big time.)

http://www.myspace.com/realestate <- yeah, that, do it to it.

love and kisses

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.

    honey, while the stars are still shining…

    According to my last.fm account, I’ve listened to “Instruct Me” by The Drums fifty times in the last six months. (In that time period, I’ve only listened to “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” more… um, 94x.) And I mean, I like the rest of their stuff, too. In case you are yet unaware of this Brooklyn-based Florida group, check out their video for “Let’s Go Surfing.”

    Then go nuts on Hype Machine.

    And hey, they’re kind of cute, too, aren’t they?
