| NEWS YOU (PROBABLY) CAN'T USE... MUCH, ANYWAY. |
| Woo-wee! It's only 10 days in and August has been a busy month. Rick James, R.I.P. I got to see The Ponys (above), Ueh, Kinski w/Kawabata Makoto of Acid Mothers Temple, White Magic and Sonic Youth! That is totally awesome. All the bands were really good. I got to interview Kinski and I will try to play it (or type it up if I can't digitize it) for you very soon. Stay tuned for more fun & excitement from the Heroin(e) camp. :-) |

| 8/2: I was met with a pleasant surprise when upon meeting Bim (drummer of This Moment in Black History) at the Music Saves Opening Celebration (Vernacular was great by the way - listen to them on Live from Cleveland 8/5 or 8/12), he told me he was going to see his label-mates "The Ponys" at the Grog Shop that night. I ended up going, also, and am sad I didn't list it in my recommended shows. It was very good & very fun. Listen for them on upcoming Your Rx's. |
| 8/3: Ah! You know what else was really cool? The Pinkering Brothers @ Pat's in the Flats. Yes, I arrived late (I was quite the little interloper on Saturday), but the song I saw was incredible. Happy birthday, bro's! |
| 8/26. So, I am sad to say goodbye to some great WRUW Programmers (AKA DJs). Due to the shifting nature of college life, we wish Molly of Voices & Choices and Billiam of Totally Lopsided Frock farewell and good luck. We're also losing a community member DJ of one of my favorite shows - Steve of A Crooked Mile. I have taken his timeslot with some regret because I will miss his show. However, I hope to be a good replacement for your Tuesday evenings. I will do my best, as always. Another favorite show of mine - Latin Perspectives was not able to get a timeslot this semester, but we will hope they can come back soon. However, in better news, another of my favorite shows - applejacktheylack - is taking my old timeslot. They will be a nice combo with stonecoldbikini, battling it out for indie rock domination. :o) Please enjoy WRUW's new Fall Schedule! We have some new shows coming on that are sure to be your next favorite, too! Surf to our website for program updates. |
