More new music on Exposure tonight! To be honest, Gorillaz’s Plastic Beach has been on repeat on my iPod since it came out, but we’re already spinning Stylo during the day and you already know of the Gorillaz. So, unfortunately, no Gorillaz on Exposure tonight. To make up for it, I’ve got some absolutely brand [...]
I’ve got a fun playlist set up for tonight’s Exposure. Brand new music from Frightened Rabbit, Rogue Wave, and Efterklang, and a couple of older (though still only a year or two old!) favorites like M83 and MSTRKRFT. I’m particularly enjoying the new Frightened Rabbit LP The Winter of Mixed Drinks – it sounds so [...]
More new music on Exposure tonight! I’ve really been enjoying the Icelandic band Seabear recently – after my long-term love of Icelanders Sigur Ros and Bjork, I’m up for anything from the icy (and kind of bankrupt) nation. But Seabear offers something different; its less empyrean and ambient and sounds a lot more like a [...]
I’m really excited about this show tonight. I’ve designed a “Stream of Consciousness” playlist! No, I’m not thinking of and playing music off-the-cuff – Exposure takes a bit more prep than that. Rather, I set up a playlist where each song in the list connects with the next one in some way, whether through the [...]
Playing some brand new music that I’m really excited about this week! I’m really into the new You Say Party! We Say Die! CD, and I love the new Woodhands song “Dissembler”. The latter sounds like a beautiful, more modern Postal Service to me – it’s great. Indie/folk heavy tonight, but I tempered it out [...]
I think I put together a pretty good playlist tonight! Animal Collective, Los Campesinos!, The Album Leaf, Bibio, Engineers… it’s a good night. I even mixed in some electronica – Acid Girls and Clark are some of my personal favorites. And who could forget Japandroids! “Wet Hair” is incredible – “We run the gauntlet / [...]
More new music for you on Exposure tonight! I’ll be playing a few tracks you may have already heard on the 9 O’Clock News – Los Campesinos! and Beach House, for example – but there will also be plenty of music you haven’t heard yet. Brand new Justice, for example. Pretty indie heavy tonight, but [...]
My first Exposure of the new year! As always, new music from indie and alternative bands that you may not already know (unless you read Pitchfork religiously… and even then, you won’t know some of these songs). Had to play the new Smashing Pumpkins track “Widow Wake My Mind” – Billy Corgan’s releasing a 44-track [...]
