WYEP Music Blog

Starting this Tuesday (Nov 3rd) at 6:40 AM, you will be able to experience a new segment on the Morning Mix called “Now and Then”. Look I wrote this fancy description:

Now and Then is a two song snapshot of an artist’s career. It starts with a modern song from the act’s current project. Followed up by an older track that give example of where that musician came from.

Sounds fun, right? YES! If you have any suggestions of artists and songs for “Now and Then”, you should email me about it: cindy@wyep.org

thanks!

Many people here are still raving about the Nicole Atkins & The Black Sea performance in the WYEP studios yesterday.  If you missed it, or want to hear it again, the entire performance is now available in our On Demand Audio archive.

Rolling Stone reports today that Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn is working on the screenplay for a film version of Chuck Klosterman’s 2001 memoir “Fargo Rock City”. Finn is co-writing the screenplay with “Late Show with David Letterman” writer Tom Ruprecht.  “Fargo Rock City” is Klosterman’s book about growing up as a heavy metal fan in North Dakota.

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. The leaves are in full color, their smell drifts on the cool air. The nights are a longer and feel darker. There is mystery to the season.

There are many songs that match this mood.  Some of them you know well, others may surprise you. Join me on Friday, October 30th from 4pm to 6pm for music from Warren Zevon, Sting, Kirsty MacColl, Eels, Concrete Blonde, and Sea Wolf. You never know what might pop up or who might drop by, so pull out your copy of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and lock the doors. It’s time for haunting and howling.

Trick or treat!
