Plan B, 5/24/10

Probably my last radio show ever :'( -- unless I want to fight to get into the not-nearly-as-laid-back Rutgers radio station down in No Funswick, New Jersey. This week is basically my personal best-of of my last four years here, so I hope you'll like it. If you happen to be a loyal listener, A) Why? What's wrong with you? and B) Thanks for sticking with me. I really appreciate it.

Have a good one.

Ahhh, second-to-last regularly scheduled show! Breaking from last week's/next week's format of going over my favorite tracks of my four years of college radio and sticking with some awesome new stuff instead. Also, I'll be part of the crew of station types covering the night shift tomorrow evening into Wednesday morning, so if you're an insomniac or you're cramming for a final or something, feel free to tune in! (In related news, WRPI has been on the air for 24 hours straight for the past two weeks, and that's awesome.) Next week's gonna be pretty wistful, not gonna lie...

Part 1 of a 2-part series of Music That Pete Really Really Liked Over The Last Few Years In Tribute To His Departure From The Airwaves. Now that I think about it, this is probably *actually* my third-to-last show, so I have no idea how next week's show is going to work, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Oh man, three hours of radio. Don't have nearly enough energy to type out the album titles, just Google it. Not hiding much this time, except "Break The Same" is off the Teleprompt edition of Mute Math's self-titled. The bridge is different, and it's way better than the Warner Brothers version.

Also Also, if you happen to actually enjoy loud night, you may be interested in checking out "The Architecture of Sound" with Alex on Sunday nights at 10. He's a cool dude with cool music. If you're into the more ambient stuff, it may be worth your while to check out, uh, "Ambient Signal" with Bla(i)r on Tuesday evenings at 6. Then again, if you're reading this blog, you probably know about that already. I'M JUST SAYIN'.

Tonight is chillout night. A good bit of folky stuff, a little shoegazey stuff, and some IDM for good measure. If you haven't found a copy of the new Efterklang album yet, you're doing yourself a major disservice. And the new Phantogram LP. But you knew about that one.

And a bunch of (relatively) loud stuff that I really really need to play and it has to go into this show now because I don't have a dedicated show for that anymore. It'll work, though, I promise! 10:00 tonight!! WOO!!!

Coming off of a one-week hiatus due to extraordinary amounts of project work (the end of the semester is a lovely time, isn't it?), I'm back this week with what I'm going to loosely call my Best of Fall 2009. A lot of this stuff only came to my attention this semester and may or may not have been out for a while, but I first played it this semester, so whatever. I'm going to assume you don't have a problem with that.

This is presented in no particular order other than what I think sounds good together.

If you'd like to see what my top personal albums of the last whatever were, checking out my Last.fm profile is a good way to go. You can find that right here.

Thanks for being such a great group of listeners this semester, and I hope you keep tuning in through the winter and next semester! (I'm not going anywhere, whether you like it or not...)

Two posts in a row? Alright. I guess it's been a slow week.

Well, for our DJs, and anybody else affected by the slow onset of tryptophan, for that matter. However, for our music department, not so much. We have a whole ton of awesome stuff this week, leading me to feature four (four!) different albums this week.

First up, we have White Denim's Fits. It's a touch bipolar, but that just makes it more awesome. I'll personally be spinning this one for a while. Next is Lymbyc Systym (yes) with Shutter Release. Really, really awesome electronic post-rocky stuff. Also on deck is Holopaw's Oh, Glory. Oh, Wilderness. (enthusiastic, isn't it?) which is some pretty solidly composed indie rock, and finally we have Bellflur's Asleep Asleep EP. I'd suggest checking any and all of these out.

Now on to the playlist for this week. Thanks for checking my show out!

Back once again, because luckily for you (*cough*) my show is one of the few that's not blacked out due to turkey this week. Focus albums are Heave Yer Skeleton by Mr. Gnome (from what I've checked out so far, this is really damn good) and Moon Sweet Moon by Via Tania. Honorable mention goes to The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist by Junius, yet another artist from the Mylene Sheath repertoire.

And once more, in case you're interested in seeing what I'm listening to outside of these two hours, or what's cycling through my headphones the most this week, you can check out my last.fm page here: http://www.last.fm/user/pwcasellini

Plan B, 11/16/09

Better late than never? I guess?

Anywho, the flood of new stuff is starting to slow to a trickle, but somehow there are even more gems in the stuff that keeps coming through. If you're a fan of the recent Caspian/Russian Circles amped-up post-rock, the new Constants LP is pretty much a continuation of the formula, and I know I'm going to have this on repeat for the rest of the week. On the other end of the spectrum, the new LP from We Are The Willows is some excellent folksy indie, so if you've been feeling the new stuff from The Middle East I've been spinning over the last few weeks, this one should be right up your alley.

Here are the goods this week:

[Track - Artist (Album)]

Genetics Like Chess Pieces - Constants (The Foundation/The Machine/The Ascension)

You Are Not What You Think You Are - Codes In The Clouds (Paper Canyon)

Matawan - Akimbo (Jersey Shores)

Woo playlist. Stuff I'm feelin' this week includes the new Thao with The Get Down Stay Down and the new El Perro Del Mar. Also, I've been incessantly listening to the new Twin Atlantic album, although it doesn't really fit my show too well. (I'm forcing it in tonight, anyway, but whatever.)

Also, if you feel like becoming overly familiar with my taste in music, I'm on Last.fm aquí.
