Week Eight: Potterwatch

Potterwatch:

I don't think anything could ever quite match the awesomeness of this show. This will go down in history as by far one of the best things I've ever done-- base an entire show around the Potterwatch scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows just in time for the newest movie to come out. I think the only you can really do to get the EPICNESS of this show is to simply download it and listen to it. Which I shall be doing countless times throughout my life.

ADVERTISE:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, of course. Coming to a theatre near you!!

RECOMMEND:
Finding anything Wizard Rock on the YouTube and making sure your midnight showing tickets are with you when you head out to the theatre this Thursday night!!

DOWNLOAD:
Well, I can't link the show anymore, but if you ask me, I'll burn you a copy of it. Because I myself have one. Oh yeah.

Week Seven: Absinthe & Absence

Absinthe & Absence:

I profusely apologize, ladies and gents, as I was not able to come into the station today. I have a wretched midterm to study and be well-rested for. I hope you enjoy the lovely listening talents of Kara and Ellyette, the Marauder's of Music.

RECOMMEND:

Voting in the poll.

And studying hard for your midterms.

And a continuous intake of Sunny Delight.

Week Six: A Sound, A Cycle

A Sound, A Cycle:
This week's show was based primarily off of three songs that I've been into--

"The High Road" by Broken Bells
"Lives" by Modest Mouse (I like the Pokemon background for this song. HOT!)
"She's Got My Number" by Semisonic

Sometimes, I love having an iPod where I don't know a good portion of the music. When I put it on shuffle, it's like a really good radio station. It plays things I love, things I'm getting into, and music that I've never heard before but definitely love. Except when it decides to play facking John Mayer. I hate it when it does that and it makes me want to kill it.

Anyway, these three songs have been my current favorites, so I simply tried to make a playlist that flowed with these songs. It was a lot harder that I expected because all three songs have such different quirks to them and I wasn't prepared for them. But I think it turned out alright--could be refined, not as seemless as I would like it to be, but it's got some new music for me and you to find more out about.

I almost decided to play a mix of Halloween music to draw out yesterday's awesomeness, but I decided against it for all of your sake. You can thank me with Halloween candy and hugs!
