Monday Nights on Radio Free Wausau
I’ve become somewhat of a slug since moving my radio show on WNRB-LB to Monday nights. I started out with such ambitious plans to post weekly playlists and for a few weeks back at the beginning of the year I was doing just that. You can actually find them. But then things got busier, I discovered curling late in the season, and then it finally became spring. So what little extra time there is has been sucked up into projects around the house and around the yard. You can come over to see if you’d like. Its trueSo I don’t have any pretentions of posting playlist in this blog entry but I thought I would say something about some of the bands, performers, and music I’ve been privileged to play of late. In the “two hour” mode I get time to think and make selections based on what I’m feeling in the music at that moment and I somethings change around the order of things I so carefully planned out hours or days earlier. But its what makes up a show for me. OK, now for some of the music.
Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats
Dire Straits
Radiohead
Magnetic Fields
Snow Patrol
Death Cab for Cutie (including the new CD Narrow Stairs)
Billy Bragg
Vampire Weekend
Frightened Rabbit (awesome band from Scotland)
British Sea Power
City and Colour (aks Dallas Green)
Raveonettes (cool band from Denmark)
Etienne de Rocher
Great Lake Swimmers
New Pornographers
Black Mountain (awesome band from Vancouver)
Okkervil River
Stephen Malkmus
The Weakerthans
The Arcade Fire

OK–this list could go on and on. But hopefully you get the point. I like music. All kinds. I’d like to thing what I play could be characterized as Independent, Alternative, and Intelligent. Time will tell I guess. If you haven’t stopped by to listen yet please do.
Radio Free Wausau, 93.3FM, Monday from 7-9 pm.
See ya!
