Music of the Week: THE WONDERS Little Wild One; CORNERSHOP Brimful of Asha; ARCTIC MONKEYS I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor; X The New World
Rising with a Bullet: THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS Birdhouse in Your Soul; THE BOY LEAST LIKELY TO Be Gentle With Me; A BAND OF BEES Time Is On My Side
Jonesy Moments: TODD RUNDGREN We Gotta Get You a Woman; THE KNACK That's What the Little Girls Do To You; SUPERGRASS Grace; THE NORMAL--Warm Leatherette; THE YACHTS Yachting Type; EMMYLOU HARRIS Red Dirt Girl; THE LOVEMAKERS Shake That Ass; TELEPOPMUSIK Breathe; FRANK SWEET AND TITCH HOFFS do some covers (aka MATTHEW SWEET and SUSANNA HOFFS)
TK Moments: TK airs a woman with an Internet radio station who stormed the station and played music! Love those radicals! You go girl!; lots of in-studio music--TK's show rocks all week!
New Mornings:
MONDAY--Joe Escalante
TUESDAY--?
WEDNESDAY--The wondrous Chuck P. returns to the Morning Show with an All-Coachella set. Isn't it funny how these are all artists that Indie already plays? Despite that, Chuck gives us cuts from deep on their albums, and live in-studio new songs (from Metric). Great great stuff. THIS should be a podcast.
THURSDAY--?
FRIDAY-- TK!!!
Morning DJ Favorite:
Last Week: Too close to call
This Week: Chuck P.'s All Coachella Morning
Honorable Music Mentions: YEAH YEAH YEAHS Gold Lion; SCREAMING TREES Nearly Lost You; FRANZ FERDINAND Darts of Pleasure; THE CANDYSKINS For What It's Worth; JEFF BUCKLEY Everybody Wants You
Camp Freddy Moment: The speculation on David Lee Roth's actual ratings in the mornings.
Feel My Heat Moment: Brent Bolthouse all alone. Good music.
Harmony In My Head Moments: Can never get enough WIRE; THE FALL Ed's Babe; THE STOOGES Sick of You
Dead Air Moments: Re-issue of the Week: Brian Eno and David Byrne--My Life in the Bush of Ghosts; BRIAN ENO & DAVID BYRNE America Is Waiting; QUASI Peace & Love; BE YOUR OWN PET Girls on TV; THE NOISETTES Iwe; MISSION OF BURMA Spider's Web; STARLIGHT MINTS What's Inside of Me?; TOM VERLAINE Blue Light; LOVE IS ALL Busy Doing Nothing; DEVENDRA BANHART A Sight to Behold; ELEVENTH DREAM DAY For Martha; ANGELA CORREA Mercurial Heart
Check One Two Moments: ORANGE No Rest for the Weekend; THE ADORED Tell Me, Tell Me; CHELSEA SMILES Action Coming Down; MIDWAY Shadows; THE HOT TRAMPS Hot Love; SHAKER DOWN Don't Smoke Anymore; DOMINGO SIETE Quitate La Mascara; SKATES Green Vans; LUSTRA Scottie Doesn't Know (heartbreaking); KILLOLA Appetite; COLD WAR KIDS Hang Me Up to Dry
Commercials of note: TK does this commercial with the luscious Tanya Roberts for a hotel in Vegas. I listen intently, it sounds interesting. Sometime later in the week, I accidentally happen upon another commercial for the same place on another radio station. Some loud obnoxious DJ guy shouting about this new hotel in Vegas. I thank my lucky stars again that TK is on my radio station, doing commercials, and change the channel back quickly. NO ONE does commercials better than TK.
