WCSB Show 2005.02.21

Monday, February 21st, 2005

The playlist from today’s show has been posted. I played a lot of newer stuff.
I got 2 Les Breastfeeders songs in. I can’t say enough about this band. The album is very good, but their live show is even better.
Congrats to Bob for winning the pair of tickets to the sold-out Wilco show this week. I didn’t know that many people would call in. Good to see people are listening in the local CLE area.

New York - The Gates and Les Breastfeeders

Sunday, February 20th, 2005

We’re back from New York. What’s this snow stuff still coming down here?!!!
We had a great time in NYC. Saw the The Gates in Central Park, saw our friend John’s band Low Water play, had the best Indian food (I ate goat), had deep-fried candy, saw Les Breastfeeders (awsome Montreal band), and hung out with some good friends.
Tired now. I’ll have more photos that I’ll link from here.

A little Quicktime video I took of the Gates.

Today’s playlist has been updated. The MP3 streams won’t be available till late tonight or tomorrow. I have a research exam tonight.

Congrats to the winners of the tickets for Chris Stamey at The Beachland! I’ll be giving away Wilco tickets for the sold out show at House of Blues next week.

Don’t eat too much candy!

Coolfer has an interesting post today about Montreal and the Canadian government’s support of some indie rock.
Going to go see a Montreal band next week: Les Breastfeeders

WCSB Playlist 2005.02.07

WCSB Site Redesign

Thursday, February 3rd, 2005

So, I’ve been working on the redesign of the WCSB web site.
I think it’s going pretty good. I need to get the color scheme down. I want to stick with black and white, but I need some other colors thrown in there for highlighting.
I figured out how to create a calendar dynamically since the last time I posted here. Right now this just pulls the show information from a database and puts it into a table. I haven’t done any “real” formatting of the table yet.
I was talking with Tommy Fox last night about the calendar. WRUW put their spring show listing in a huge ad in The Free Times this week. I pointed out how their listing has each day starting at Midnight. That makes sense to me. The current WCSB calendar starts at 7:00 am (on a Monday). Tommy likes that. I think it’s confusing. When you’re at the bottom of the page you’re not looking at the same day (in a column) as the top.
What do you think? I like the calendar starting on Sunday at midnight. I need feedback.
