Instead of working on comps, I decided to make a Valentine’s Day mix of some of my favorite songs about love or at least songs that I associate with love. Tracklist: The Durutti Column – Sketch For Summer Arthur Russell – A Little Lost Sonya Spence – Let Love Flow On Broken Social Scene – […]
(but not as brief as you might think) Since regrettably few female electronic music producers are given due recognition, I thought I would compile a list of my favorites, new and old. In chronological order: DELIA DERBYSHIRE Delia Derbyshire was an English experimental electronic musician, active starting in the ’60s. After earning a degree in
It’s easy to get a sense of nostalgia for a time you never lived through when the artifacts sort of prove that it was better (in some respects; I’m not talking about civil rights, etc., etc.) Then: Now: ’nuff said.
Seriously. I’m not even going to pretend to be formal here. All euphemisms are off. What the hell happened? Exhibit A: In fairness, this is one of the tamest examples of the inexplicable self-satire propagated by Real Estate’s *clears throat pretentiously* Atlas. Let’s rewind for a second. I became a fan of Real Estate from the
We went on location to bring you this rendition of Devata Daun’s “Animal Instincts.” The song also has a spectacular music video, specially produced by Wonderboom Productions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25Oz6k0AX_M
Sit back and enjoy this great performance of “Glass Factory” by Jonesies!
Some of my favorite songs are those that seem to have the magical ability to fit whatever mood I’m in; those that can heighten any sadness or maintain the high energy. Maybe those songs say more about my weird ability to hype up to a song that in other circumstances can make me tear up (or
KRLX will accept applications for Winter 2017 radio shows from Wednesday, December 28 at 8am until Sunday, January 8 at 12pm (noon). Just like in prior terms, applications will be handled online at content.krlx.org/apply.

I love night driving. There’s something incredibly meditative about going high speeds, wind in your face, alone on the open road. That ephemeral American allure of being able to pick up and leave, drive far in the night and start the dawn with a completely new life on a completely new day. You grab your
James Ferraro has been known to make “vaporwave,” and was, what some might call, one of the progenitors and founders of the genre. “Human Story 3” is not vaporwave. James Ferraro has put on art exhibits that consist of speakers playing 30 second ringtones that he has crafted. Unlike “Sufi Girlz,” “Human Story 3” is
For the past few years it seemed inevitable, but now we can finally say it: the 90’s are back. Choker necklaces are now an appropriate choice of accessory, loose shift dresses that, let’s be honest are really just night gowns or slips, have graced the runways, and denim and denim has become more than just
Welcome back to school, kids. As we at KRLX scramble to get the station up and broadcasting during third week, it behooves You, the venerated DJs of this great station, to know what new music to keep an ear out for in the coming fall months. Here, I have supplied a brief list of some
This term I started doing an interview show where I interview different campus community members every week. It’s definitely more work than a regular music show; it requires planning ahead to communicate with your interviewee and anyone who’s doing the interview with you, coming up with questions, and recording and editing the interview (unless you’re
I am very unabashedly in love with Childish Gambino and have been with him since his pre-Camp days. I’ve seen his progression from sad, nerdy, joke rapper to seriously depressed, serious musician, and have loved him the whole way through (okay I was pretty skeptical of Royalty for like four years). Anyway, here is a
I grew up on NPR. Morning Edition on the way to school, All Things Considered on the way back home. I remember Saturday evenings listening to Garrison Keillor on Prairie Home Companion and Sunday afternoons with Wait Wait Don’t Tell me. There is a special place in my heart for radio, especially journalism radio. I
Spotify seems to have a playlist for virtually every occasion you would need. Most are titled according to mood, genre, or content. Some, however, are split into categories according to activity. Recently I discovered that one of their genres “Word” offers a variety of playlists to fit almost any non-music listening mood. I have compiled
-What’s your show like for someone who has never heard it? They’re bluesy and good-timey, with a lot of banter. In the words of Chris, “it’s like two ornery old dj’s on some backchannel XM show”. If you grab some bourbon, you’ll feel like you’re part of the crew. -Favorite albums of all time? Chris:
A quote I heard from someone listening to Views for the first time was, “This seems like the other side of Marvin’s Room”, which the album really does. Views feels like it could be nestled in between Take Care and Nothing Was the Same and the only difference would be the new-school trap-ish beats on
Something important is the speed control button on youtube under the settings tab. I think Bagelbrat and I discovered its novelty winter term of last year, and began experimenting with it on our radio show Bed Radio Hour. If you didn’t tune into that, which I’m sure you didn’t, you probably haven’t been told that
