The Alternate Side heads your way at 10 with new music from Phoenix, !!!, Depeche Mode, the Portland duo Wampire, Jamie Lidell and more. Tonight's edition of The Shuffle should prove interesting to say the least, maybe even appropriate as it's Hump Night! Who is it? Let's just say, this duo is a couple of kiwis. Find out more at 10!
Catch up on the latest happenings on The Alternate Side every Wednesday afternoon with Dennis Elsas and Russ Borris!
It was on this date in 1967 that Mister Rogers' Neighborhood made its debut. Fred Rogers' gentle manner was a hit with kids, but later became fodder for jokes. Whatever your viewpoint, we're looking for songs tying in with the show. That could be songs about neighborhoods, sweaters, the land of make believe, or anything else you can come up with. Leave your suggestion in the comments below and we'll spin a set this morning.
Here's what we played:
Judy Garland "The Trolley Song"
Meryn Cadell "The Sweater"
For Words and Music this month, we're dipping into the FUV Vault to revisit some of our favorite sessions. My pick this week is a session I did with Somalian musician, K'Naan from 2009.
It was really inspiring to talk with someone with so much positivity. As one of the last Somalians to be granted an exit visa from his country just before the Civil war, K'Naan knows that he is one very lucky guy, so gratitude shines throughout his music.
In case you haven't noticed, Daft Punk have taken over the world. We'll spin a couple from their new album Random Access Memories tonight on The Alternate Side. Plus, there's new music from Primal Scream, Yo La Tengo, Deerhunter and Kurt Vile, The Shuffle with The White Stripes and Phoenix in The Mix-Up. See you at 10!
