last archive ever

I have decided that due to recent legislative developments, as well as the fact that the archiving was of questionable legality, this will be the last show that I post on here.

I apologize to the loyal listeners whom this will affect.


1/30/07
Part 1
Part 2

Edit: I have decided to give the archive a temporary reprieve for an indeterminate amount of time. The next show will definitely be uploaded.

still taking suggestions on possible wcsb animal mascots...

Yay! It didn't take me until Monday to upload this week's show!

Now, let's see if we'll get those new Of Montreal and Shins CDs in time for next week...

And I'll decide on a WCSB mascot. Post a comment below if you have any other mascot ideas.

I don't have much to say this week. So, I'll just plug my MySpace again (http://www.myspace.com/boogiepopdoesnotsmile) and post the show:

I got the show uploaded. And it was actually my fault, not Savefile's. I won't bore you with the technical details of the screwup, but at least it's up now.

Here you go!

you're listening to wruw 91.1, the home of the beagle!

I'm not going to be able to post the show until late tonight. So check back around midnight. Or check back tomorrow after you wake up, I guess.

For now, in case you didn't hear the show live, I'm trying to take suggestions on what kind of animal mascot WCSB should have.

What brought that up was the Helper T-Cells' performance on WRUW's Live From Cleveland last Thursday. While they were on there, they had a friend pretend to be a WRUW DJ and say, "You're listening to WRUW 91.1, the home of the Beagle!" And that made me wonder... What kind of animal mascot would WCSB have if it did have a mascot?

I didn't give my own idea for a mascot on the air, but I guess I'll give it to you now. My idea was the sloth. Because WCSB is working class and somewhat lazy. Then again, the sloth might be too cute to be working class.

Suggestions from listeners included:
the slug
the carp
the phoenix
the elephant
the humpback whale
the male beta fighting fish

So, anyone else have an idea? Post a comment below if you have one.

technical merit scores: 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.5 (from the american judge), 0.0

I'm sorry that I couldn't get the show up or even the last two items on the playlist up immediately after the show. Blogger went down for some sort of maintenance. So, I couldn't post until now.

Anyway, during this show, I revealed my picks for the most disappointing releases of 2006, as well as the best reissues of 2006.

For those who missed it, the two most disappointing releases were:

/begin pretentious music critic mode

1. Pony Up! Make Love to the Judges With Your Eyes

I met them when they played in Cleveland in 2005. They were very nice, but it pains me to say that when I heard them say that the chick who wrote "I Heard You Got Action" (the "Let's talk baseball" song) wasn't in the band anymore, I had a bad feeling. And it was confirmed with the release of this album. I guess that with that songwriter (sorry, I don't know her name), they lost their sense of humor. The album is just overly serious, with a pretentious title as icing on the cake.

2. Rose Melberg Cast Away the Clouds

I should be electrocuted and spanked at the same time for this because I'm basically agreeing with Pitchfork's review of this album. But it states my sentiments quite well. Cast Away the Clouds just isn't as cute as her first solo album, Portola. Plus, most of the songs are slow and mellow, and just sound like average, kind of overproduced singer-songwriter fare. I admit that if you do listen closely, the lyrics do actually sound kind of cute, but still... it needed a few upbeat songs.

And then, the best reissues were:

1. Various Artists Double Agent 1980: a tribute to the 1980's

This is an iTunes-only reissue, but they at least got it out there for those of us who were out of the loop in the '90s when this was released. This has several indiepop bands doing covers of '80s songs, with highlights including the Softies doing Rick Astley's "Together Forever" and Tullycraft doing "Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins.

2. Sonic Youth Sonic Youth

Their debut EP. It's hard to believe that they didn't reissue it before last year. Being at WCSB, I was fortunate to be able to listen to the original vinyl version before last year. There are a couple of important songs on there ("Burning Spear" and "I Dreamed I Dream"), so it's about time.

/end pretentious music critic mode

Anyway... I'd like to tell "anonymous" and Matt that I posted a comment in reply to their comments under the playlist. As for Douglass, I think I've pretty much answered what he said.

And now, it's time to post the show. I made a lot of technical mistakes for some reason, but the music is really good. Here's the show:

happy new year

And so, I did manage to get all 59 songs of the 2006 year-in-review countdown played within two weeks. If you didn't hear the show live and you want to listen to the MP3s, I recommend that you don't look at the playlist (in the post below this one) so you avoid seeing any spoilers.

Next week, we'll be going back to mostly regular programming, except I'm also going to honor the two best reissues of 2006, and also play some of the disappointing releases of 2006.

I've also got some great new stuff to play. Like the Zambonis/Harry and the Potters split 7". And the new Sloan CD. And the new Of Montreal 7". And the Awesome Animal Ambulance album that was released in 2005, but I didn't find out about until last month. And the final Patty Duke fanzine release, which is a CD containing all the tracks from the previous Patty Duke fanzine 7-inches, as well as some new stuff. And some other stuff that I can't remember right now.

That's all that I can think of saying for right now. Here are the MP3s...
