no love for ned.

after a few days laying about “in recovery” i’m happy to be back at wlur from 8pm until midnight tonight with a new theme! tune in to see how we’ll start off all our shows this spring.

last week’s show is now up on mixcloud. it was the heart themed show in honor of the cryoablation procedure i went through last week to (hopefuly) eliminate a pesky heart arrythmia i’ve dealt with for the last twenty years. two hours of songs about heartbeats and broken hearts that fit into the old no love for ned motto from the nineties- “cause happy rhymes with crappy”.

we also wrapped up our ‘song quotes’ theme last week. all semester long we’ve been starting shows off with a song that quotes lyrically from another song. we heard from: built to spill allo darlin, spiritualized, jeanines, okkervil river, hootie and the blowfish, car seat headrest, tori amos, uncle tupelo, vampire weekend, martha, the spinanes, destroyer, and u2.

a little thought exercise for you this afternoon. imagine waking up on thanksgiving morning and realizing you still need to go to the grocery store before you can cook dinner. that’s kinda how it feels when bandcamp fridays coincide with my radio show. i’ve finally gotten a bit better at the balancing act so we’ve got all the trimmings for tonight’s show on wlur from 8pm to midnight. all you need to bring is yourself (and maybe a drink if you’d like one!)

there are also plenty of leftovers for you- last week’s show is up on mixcloud (also seen below).

no love for ned is on wlur from 8pm until midnight tonight and i hope you can join us.

i just realized i’m starting off the show tonight with a song from the spinanes who i was introduced to almost exactly thirty years ago. they opened for the afghan whigs at the famed city gardens (jon stewart was a bartender there in the eighties!) on april 8th, 1994. i remember the exact date because it was the day kurt cobain’s body was found. the radio announced it that afternoon while we were in the car. i know there was a lot of talking about it that night, especially since both bands were on sub pop (where nirvana got their start). not sure i have much else to say- just a memory that was prompted by a band and date.

anyway, i’ve also archived last week’s show on mixcloud for you to catch whenever you’d like if you’re busy tonight!
