Sigur Ros

Sigur Ros is featured this week on the program. Sigur Ros's fifth album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (in English, With A Buzz In Our Ears We Play Endlessly), is an upbeat departure from their previous releases. It is, in fact, playful. Reportedly, the band, know to be quite exacting in their music making, tried to be looser in the writing and production of this album. No less beautiful and simply a pleasure to listen to, this may be one of their best works. Hope you can join me be as we explore the newest from Sigur Ros.

The Pinker Tones and so much more....

On tomorrow’s show – yes, there will be a show – The Pinker Tones will be the featured artist.  They are releasing a new album, Wild Animals, on Tuesday next week and we have a preview.  We’ll be listening to tracks from the new album along with some from The Million Colour Revolution from last year.  And, of course, I’ll have loads of new music from other artists.  Hope you will join me tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. for Saturday Morning on WVEW-LP FM 107.7/WVEW.org in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Again, no show...

Good morning,

Well, my 13 year old daughter finally did something very…well…13.  She just woke up and told me she needs to go to the band rehearsal that she decided not to go to, and that it’s at 9, not 9:30, as she originally thought, and will that be okay.  So, being dad and super dj bslammin are not compatible roles today. I share all this with you just in case you were planning to tune in.  I know this is two weeks in a row and you are all jonesing for some fresh tunes, but I promise (as much as I have control over anything) that I will be on next week.  In the mean time there is always Scott Simon on NPR, a reasonable alternative.

 

Amy Tan On Creativity

I thought this needed to be shared.

No Show Saturday

Good morning Campers.

 

No show this morning.  I plan to return next week.  Just got a new Pinker Tones album in, which sounds great.  I do believe they will be next week’s feature artist.  No disappointment here from their sophomore effort.  Hope the weekend and week ahead are great.  Be well and see you next week.
