Friday night in NYC is always a great thing. Memorial Day weekend takes that to a new level. Whatever your plans are, take us along! New music on the show from Vampire Weekend, Iggy & The Stooges, Deerhunter, Portugal. The Man, Tricky and more. We'll put The Shuffle spotlight on Sebadoh, spin some Blur, The Jam and Ween, get to a whole lot more tonight at 10 on The Alternate Side!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend. Don't let the rain get you down, let the Whole Wide World help you kick off your holiday weekend and the unofficial start to summer. Join Rita as she spins upbeat tunes from Sly and the Family Stone and Ray Charles as well as new artists such as Junip and Lorde. Stick with us as we dive into the Words and Music vault for a special session with Emeli Sande. Since her win of the Critic's Choice win at the 2012 Brit Award, Emeli Sande's musical career has taken her to new heights with her debut album, Our Version of Events.
it's been years since I saw Tom Petty and the Heatbreakers in concert, but when my friend Paul invited me to join him last night at The Beacon, I jumped at the chance. To see a band that good with prime seats in a venue that small is pretty special. They've got a five-concert residency (ending on Saturday), which allows them to play around with the set list each night.
Celebrating Bob Dylan's 72nd birthday today on WFUV - lots of Dylan and others covering his songs all day long. Plus, for this morning's Question of the Day we're asking for your favorite cover version of a Dylan song. And if you've got a personal tibdit to share, that's great, too. Leave it in the comments below and we'll spin a set this morning.
Here's what we played:
Eddie Vedder & Mike McCready "Masters of War"
The Rolling Stones "Like a Rolling Stone"
It's our beloved Friday Eve in NYC! Celebrate the weekend one day early with The Alternate Side at 10. We'll have new music from Foals, Queens of the Stone Age, Austra and The Flaming Lips, an unexpected cover from of Montreal's Kevin Barnes and The Shuffle on The Walkmen. See you at 10!
