Show #2

Greetings friends! Here's the playlist for the second show of this semester.

First off I would just like to say thank you to everybody who has been listening. This semester has had a great deal of listeners compared to last semester. I had 13 listeners at one point during the second show, which sounds like nothing, but because WPSR is very independently run and not on radiowaves, it can be difficult to get a lot of listeners. Some shows will only have 4 or 5 listeners at a time, so I am quite happy that I had 13 consistant listeners during my second show of the semester. I was also extremely happy with the playlist. Let's review!

•Some Nights by Fun. whose sophomore album (also entitled Some Nights) came out just yesterday. The album was streaming early, last week and I just cannot stop listening to this song, especially. It makes me feel like I'm on an African Safari.

•Pachuca Sunrise by Minus the Bear was the second song. Just another band that everybody else seems to already listen to that I didn't because I judge bands by their names. Hey, nobody said I wasn't judgmental.

•Various Kitchen Utensils by Skybox is next up. A song that I found on Grooveshark, a great site where you can play a "radio" and put in any song and have similar songs play afterwards. This song came up on Grooveshark after another song on the playlist called Empire by Jukebox the Ghost, which I literally cannot stop listening to. I have 16 plays on it in the past 6 days alone. And that's not including plays on my iphone...

•The Whip by Locksley makes me want to throw on a skirt and go to a sock hop... which was perfect because that week the co-op held a 50s diner which was quite successful!

•Brooklyn Bridge is by an amazing band right here on our very campus called Coyote Campus. I booked these guys for a Welcome Back show at the Food Co Op the second week of school and I was beyond excited with the outcome. They are an amazingly talented group of musicians and if they do not end up famous within the next few years, I may lose faith in the entire universe.

•Forget Me by Dozens. I really love this band, who remind me of Y LUV, a band that I played last semester on the show.

•Lipsmack by LA Font. I think I also found this band on freeindie.com.

•Mexico by Satellite Stories. Another song that I cannot seem to get out of my head.

•Tongue Tied by Grouplove. Well apparently this band is a lot bigger than I realized because the day after playing it on the show, I went to visit my friend at SUNY New Paltz and in their dining hall who did I happen to see a video of on MTVU? Grouplove!

•Can You Tell by Ra Ra Riot was a request from my dearest friend, Ashley Collins. I didn't expect to like them that much, but I was wrong on that! Ashley, send me more of their music!

•That's My Girl by Sam V was also a request by my friend Mackie in Las Vegas. Sam V is a rapper and friend of hers.

•No Control by Glitter Freeze is another Freeindie.com band. It's true, I'm a sucker for electronic pop.

•Scottish Winds by Frightened Rabbit is once again, a band I found on Freeindie.com (this site is great, seriously). They remind me a bit of Mumford and Son.

•The Eloise Suite by Lightsout is another band from Freeindie.

•And we end the playlist with Collector by Here We Go Magic. I always like to find a perfect ending song for my playlists and keep the longer songs over 5 minutes to the end.


To everybody who listened, thank you and I hope you enjoyed the show! If you didn't and are reading this, CHECK OUT THESE BANDS!
