What's going on RR fans, it's September 21st and it's time for the first big post of the semester.
This Tuesday on the show I'll be playing a few tracks off the new album "Forth" by The Verve. I bought this off of iTunes a couple weeks ago and haven't been able to stop listening to it since. It's great to see that The Verve was able to come back and make such a great album after a long "hiatus."
My favorite radio station back home in Cleveland, WBWC the radio station for Baldwin Wallace College is running a great show tonight and every Sunday night at midnight called "Joe Strummer's London Calling." For those of you who know me well know that I'm a huge fan of The Clash and especially Joe Strummer. Strummer embodied punk rock but he was also politically and culturally aware-more importantly he had an incredible sense of the world of music beyond the walls of punk rock. He listened to everything from reggae, classical, jazz, to funk, folk, and big band. Before his death in 2002, Joe became a DJ for the BBC and his show was appropriately named "London Calling." This show chronicles his LC episodes and allows us here in America to listen to Strummer talk about his favorite tracks and his eclectic taste in music. I highly recommend tuning into this broadcast, even if you don't like The Clash or Joe-it's worth it.
Show Update!
---
RR had a great week last week, breaking numbers of listeners both Tuesday and Thursday. I can never thank you enough for listening in, you guys make it all worthwhile and I love being able to share my taste in music with you every week.
I know I've been dangling the idea of having artists in studio/telephone interviews on the show in the future and it'll be happening very soon. I don't want to mention any names just yet but I think you'll like who I'm trying to get to come on Radio Revolution.
Finally, I'm looking to update the show's logo for the possibility of printing it on t-shirts, and such in the future. If any of you have computer graphic skills PLEASE email me at timothk@bgnet.bgsu.edu I'd love to talk to you and brainstorm.
That's it for this week's update, tune into the show this Tuesday and Thursday for great music!
God Bless, and rock on,
Tim
