Question of the Day: Do You Wanna Disco?

by Corny O'Connell

On this date in 1977 a crowd gathered outside 254 West 54th Street in New York City. They were hoping to get past the velvet ropes for the opening night of what would become the most famous nightclub in the world and the epicenter of disco music: Studio 54. Whether or not you were among the beautiful people there, we want to know what track would get you out on the dance floor. Go old school or new and leave your suggestion in the comments below. We'll be goin' to a go-go today.

Here's what we played:

Question of the Day: Songs About Music

The common advice for writers is to write about what you know. So it's no surprise that songwriters often write songs about music itself. Those are the songs we're looking for this morning in WFUV's Question of the Day. Today also happens to be WFUV's membership drive. Please support the music mix you get from WFUV online or call 877-938-8907, thanks!

Here's what we played:

Grateful Dead "The Music Never Stopped"

George Harrison "This Song"

Question of the Day: Love's in Need of Love

by Corny O'Connell

On this morning after the bombings at the Boston Marathon authorities are sifting through the rubble. And we're sifting through our own emotions. Our hearts go out to the victims and to the entire city of Boston. At times like this we could all use the healing power of love and music. One song that comes to mind is "Love's in Need of Love Today" by Stevie Wonder. If there's a song about love you'd like to hear this morning, let us know in the comments below.

Here's what we played:

The Youngbloods "Get Together"
