Show #19

Greetings! Tonight's show was quite entertaining. Back by popular demand was guest star, Richard Price. He was on the show a few weeks ago and we had a great time introducing and discussing songs together. As much as I love to be in control of things, I definitely have more fun with another person in the studio with me. Here's a breakdown of tonight's playlist!

Somebody by Jukebox the Ghost is the first song to be released off of their upcoming album, Safe Travels, out on June 12th. I am seeing them at Bowery Ballroom June 22nd for the first time and cannot wait. This song is currently on repeat.

Fuck Was I by Jenny Owen Youngs, a graduate of Purchase who played here just a few weeks ago. She's another one of those artists I had heard the name of but didn't listen to until recently. It's really amazing how many musicians have come out of Purchase, become quite well known and still come back to play at Purchase. Never forget your roots.

My Love by The Bird and the Bee is a song that I could have sworn that I played a few months ago, but I don't see it on any of my older playlists. I forgot where I found it.

Nancy From Now On by Father John Misty is Joshua Tillman, ex drummer of Fleet Foxes' solo project. I don't think the full album has come out yet, as I had much trouble finding just one song (and remember, I actually do buy much of my music).

Someday's Gone by The All American Rejects is off of their new album, Kids in the Street that came out last month. I've loved this band since I was 12 and have somehow only seen them once, headlining at Warped Tour but I think I'll be going up to Western Massachusetts to see them in two weeks.

End of the World by The Bright Silence, to be quite honest I totally forgot how I found this band. I think it was just looking at my friend's music online.

Melissa by The Daydreamers I found through another band that I like, The Paper Planets. Eli, one of the members of The Paper Planets was previously in The Daydreamers. Pretty sure this song is actually about one of my best friends, Melissa. They just don't know it yet.

Eyes Wide Open by Goyte is a song that my best friend (mentioned above) sent me. Apparently he is on the radio all the time. I was in Las Vegas all week, forced to listen to the radio with all the hits in the casinos all week and I didn't even realize that I heard Goyte until I was sent this song and researched the rest of his music. Richard and I had a long debate about how to pronounce his name and received much feedback on it. Thanks everybody!

Camera Talk by Local Natives I just found the other day but already forgot where I found it. But I was attracted to this song because well... I love cameras. And this song made me happy.

Love of my Night by Radial starts the series of Purchase artists on this playlist. Radial is a project by Joe Endozo, also a member of the Rotten Jazz Quartet (you know, that band that played in my apartment). This song has a more electronic sound, quite different from Rotten Jazz. That is something that I love about the musicians at this school- that so many of them are in multiple bands.

Youre Just Like Miranda Cosgrove, But Not Even As Pretty! So Fuck You! I Dont Need Your Love Anyway! by Scott Interrante and The Tiny Elephants, I'm lucky that I was able to say the title on air. It's quite a mouthful. This song, as you can imagine by the title is quite funny, but at the same time the music is well done as the rest of Scott's songs are. It is possible to create quality music and still make it funny.

As Tall As The Sun by Elijah Wolf already has 20 plays on my itunes. Eli is another musician in multiple bands (The Paper Planets and Wolfman and the Pack) as well as writing music as a solo artist. This song is quite reminiscent of Mumford and Sons, in fact when it came on shuffle I actually thought that is who it was.
