Missing Person...

I have been a bad journalist and dj by not posting on here like I should. But, I have good reasons... it's called school. Midterms and homework and now projects have been keeping me away from doing my writing. To catch up on any playlists that you've missed, here is the link to all of the playlists from this semester thus far:

This week's show was a lot of fun, despite starting out a bit late. I jokingly refered to it as the alternative thanksgiving breakfast party from hell. (wow what a mouthful, right?) This week's show was also part tribute to the great late Michael Hutchence. His death was nine years ago on November 22nd. INXS was and still is a band that I hold dearly in my heart. Their music means a lot to me. Not to mention, Michael was the king of cool. I played a few of my favorite INXS songs. Granted, I played the more upbeat, happier ones. (yes inxs has some depressing songs)

Alright, here is the playlist:

1. INXS - Elegantly Wasted
2. Tears for Fears - Pale Shelter
3. The Bravery - No Breaks
4. U2 - Even Better Than the Real Thing
5. Echo and the Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar
6. Goldfrapp - Ride a White Horse
7. Duran Duran - Planet Earth
8. INXS - Original Sin
9. The Jesus and Mary Chain - Blues from a Gun
10. The Knife - We Share Our Mother's Health
11. Bronski Beat - Small town Boy
12. Madonna - Borderline
13. Prince - Raspberry Beret
14. New Order - Guilt is a Useless Emotion
15. Electronic - Getting Away With It
16. Happy Mondays - Hallelujah
17. Stone Roses - Fools Gold
18. The Smiths - Sheila Take a Bow
19. INXS - New Sensation
20. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Deanna
21. Kylie Minogue - Love At First Sight
22. Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing
23. Information Society - What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)
24. Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence *Ewan Pearson Remix
25. The Cure - The Walk
26. The Pixies - Here Comes Your Man
27. The Pretenders - Middle of the Road
28. The Cult - Lil Devil
29. INXS - What You Need

here are the links to listen to this week's show:
as I said I started my show late. The first part of the mp3 (up until the 28th minute) is Tristian. He's a good dj might I add. After that, it's all of my show. The show goes onto a second mp3 file. My show ends around the 40 minute mark on the second file. Enjoy!
