Radio Experiments!

I had my first time as host for the blues show Yazoo City Calling today! The show focuses on pre-World War II blues music. I had a ton of fun with it and was excited to learn more about this style of music, since I don’t really listen to it much. Got several requests, including some from my brother (thanks Jona!). Anyway, it was a good time! I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Well it’s summertime in Ann Arbor! That means no more sports on WCBN, and instead we have everyone’s favorite half-hour workout radio show: Move Your Ass! Yesssss. I’ve done 3 episodes of it in the past week, and by golly they’ve been wonderful. Of course by wonderful I mean funny, strange, and sometimes mildly disturbing! Yay! I found some real gems for these shows including Richard Simmons, Mousercise, and Strawberry Shortcake. Enjoy!

Two new episodes of Super Awesome Music Times with Mary! On May 28th I did an entire show dedicated to Tom Waits. I have realized recently how much I love Tom Waits, and how impressed I am with the variety of styles in his music. I also have wanted to get more familiar with his music. So, I did a whole show of Tom Waits and played at least one song from each of his albums. It was a really cool show to do, because I read up on him a bit and listened to a lot of his music that I had never heard before. Yesterday I did another freeform show, with not much direction really. Even though I was feeling very un-inspired when I first got to the station, it ended up being a very enjoyable show I thought. I also got to hear some new songs from artists I really like, such as She and Him and Iron and Wine.

Also did another episode of Just Folkin’ Around last weekend! It went fairly well. I had a lot of requests and calls, which was nice but also kind of stressful! Especially since I got one caller who wanted to talk my ear off and called a few different times, haha. I also ended up playing an 80s song that was requested without realizing it was totally not folk at all…oops! But that’s ok! It was still another good time with folk music. Hope you will enjoy it.

This week I pretty much stuck to artists that I know pretty well, but haven’t necessarily listened to in a while. I also explored some songs that were unfamiliar to me from artists I am somewhat familiar with, like Mirah. I stayed a bit late during this show because the next DJ didn’t show up (he didn’t realize that he was put on the summer schedule! Oops!) so I played a good chunk of an Alice in Wonderland album which is super creepy! A good show I thought overall; I had fun! Tune in tomorrow for a special episode: Tom Waits!! Should be awesoooooome!

I have two shows for you today: the final installment of Transformations as well as the first episode of my new show, Super Awesome Music Times with Mary, heh heh.

For the last show of Transformations I did 3 hours dedicated to Feist. I had been listening to her newest album, Metals, a lot more lately and was really impressed by it, and started to really realize how amazing she is. I love that she has the same general kind of style, but her three album are very distinct from each other. It also gave me the chance to read up a bit on Feist and I found some other music groups and projects she was part of. I also found out she had an album BEFORE Let it Die that is now out of print, which I was very surprised by. Of course, after listening to the album, I can understand why it isn’t in print anymore…Anyway, it was tons of fun and I played all three of her major albums, almost completely (had to cut Metals short because I ran out of time).

I started a brand-new show this week! I didn’t have a name for it at the time, but yesterday I came up with Super Awesome Music Times, which I think is funny and appropriate for how I am with my shows. My new show is from 1-3pm on Tuesdays, though this time I stayed a little over 3 hours to help cover someone who was out of town. I did a free-form show that included a bunch of very different styles of music, from The Beatles, to funk, to the new Vampire Weekend album, to Spanish Renaissance, to the band Renaissance! It was pretty great. Enjoy!

Two posts in one day! Wow! I forgot to include the last couple specialty shows that I’ve done in my last post. So here they are! I did another episode of Just Folkin’ around, which was really great. Just Folkin’ around is one of my favorite specialty shows to do because it allows me to play a lot of music that I know and like to listen to, and to re-discover music I haven’t listened to in a while. I also did another episode of Pan African Heartbeat. Enjoy!

Hi all! I’ve got a triple-treat for you today! My last three episodes of my radio show, Transformations. It’s been a really fun three weeks at the radio station, and busy outside the radio station (hence the taking three weeks to put these up!).

For my show on 4/10 I did a usual free-form style. I played some rockabilly, some soundtracks, some songs I love, and some songs I was new to! It was a good time.

On 4/17 I did a bit of a theme for the first half of the show. I played the entire album of The Kinks “A Soap Opera”, one of my favorites from The Kinks. I felt it was one of those albums that needs to be listened to the whole way through, so I played it that way! Then after that album I played a bunch of stuff I know and love, as well as a few request songs and some that I picked out that were familiar artists to me but new songs. I also got several calls from a man that really loved that I was playing The Kinks and was telling me all about old Elvis music and how I should listen to it. He talked to me for at least 10 minutes! It was pretty cool.

On 4/24 I did another free-form show. I played a lot of Renaissance, who I’ve recently decided I’m deeply in love with! I’ll probably be playing more of them in the future. And again some old, some new, some familiar, some not.

So listen away! I hope you will have as much fun as I did!

I’m posting this one extremely on time this week! Yay! So I did another freeform show today for Transformations. I had a fun time with it and a lot of the show had similar types of songs, which I just happened upon doing, which is kind of cool. The first few songs I picked out weren’t too great, but I tried something new so that’s good. And before my part of the show I also included the last song that Pratt played, because I thought it was a fun song. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Hi all! It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything so I apologize for that! But, the upside to that is now I have, not one, but THREE shows for your listening pleasure! Two episodes of Transformations and one episode of Radiozilla (an East Asia show).

On February 27th I had the entire three hour show and I took the opportunity to do an entire episode dedicated to The Beatles! I played Beatles music, Beatles covers, originals of songs that The Beatles covered, etc. It was really fun and I got several callers who seemed to really enjoy it. I wasn’t able to play exactly everything I wanted to because I ran out of time, but I think I played a good selection of Beatles-ness.

On March 13th I did just another freeform show. It was a really fun show for me. I played a lot of music that I know and love and I explored some music from people I know, but I hadn’t listened to yet.

Radiozilla was a fun experience. It was interesting to hear some music that is completely different from what I usually listen to.

So, I hope you enjoy listening to these shows as much as I enjoyed making them!
