And I'm Back!

I haven't been a good DJ. I'll admit that I lag behind in my postings. So sad, yet so true. I'm a busy college student though.

So Here's the Huge announcement:
The show is on the air this semester from 8 am to 10 am on Wednesday mornings! http://www.wmucradio.com/ for more info and you can listen live and even download the show!

Now as for playlists, this one is from this past Wednesday. It's episode
number #5 for the semester. I think it's probably one of the better sets I've done in a while. It's a mixed bag of new sounds, old sounds, and good times. I tried playing recent singles from recent modern bands, but I also threw in some classic alternative things. I also played a few songs together that are if you think about it, together they're quite funny. (See The Divinyls and James to see what I'm refering to.)

As for next week, well this coming Wednesday's show (October 10th) I am throwing a "birthday" party for my friend Spam. That's his nickname for those who are wondering! He's a fellow radio comrad and he's a dear friend of mine and his real birthday is October 10th....Perfect timing, right?

With that in mind, I'm going to try to play songs that either mention birthdays in the lyrics or in the song title. It should be pretty cool. So far, I have songs by the sugarcubes and Ben Lee in mind. If you have any ideas, please feel free to share. You have up until Tuesday night to share those ideas, so get them to me fast!

I hope everyone has an awesome Monday and I hope you all can listen and check things out!

Party On,
Megan
