Guitar Wolf and Peelander Z Interview on Abuse Substance

Hey guys, I wanted to share a cool interview from the show I interned on last year. Back then it was called Trash Radio but now they call themselves Abuse Substance and it's easily one of my favorite radio shows. Listen to them from 10-midnight on Monday nights.

Also, Schist That Rocks has an interview or two potentially in the works. I'll let you know as soon as we're more certain.

Monday, Tuesday, Happy Days

Thanks to Christopher Columbus, next Tuesday is now Monday at BU and vice-versa. This means that for one week only, our show is on Monday from 2-4pm. Don't worry, we'll be back to the usual schedule after that.

In case you haven't heard about it, there's a new radio play on WTBU called "The Undead End" (it's got zombies!). The first episode was last week, but you can find it on their website. You can hear the newest one every Thursday at 7:30 on WTBU. The first episode was pretty cool, so I'm excited to see where it goes. They've even made a couple teaser sites based on the show, kinda like JJ Abrams did for Cloverfield. They've got more stuff planned for the show that goes beyond radio, but I won't give anything away. Check it out. (they also have a facebook).

First it Rains, then it Pours...

So, as we mentioned last Tuesday, The Autumn Hollow Band came out with their first CD this month. If you recall, I had band member Noel on the show back in February when the band was getting ready to play the New England Americana Festival (it's posted online in case you've misremembered).
Anyway, the album's pretty solid. I'm not one for describing music the way some do, but I will say that I liked it and that I'd suggest you check it out. My favorite track is probably "First it Rains," which I played on the show and had stuck in my head for at least the rest of that day. They've got the album online so you can listen to it and buy it if you'd like. I've embedded the player below, or you can check it out on bandcamp.




Also, welcome to the new intern at Schist That Rocks: Cassie! Cassie enjoys Friends, penguins, following my orders, and bios written without her input or consent.
If you'd like to join the Schist That Rocks! team, don't hesitate to let me know! You'd be a little less of an intern, and a little more of a DJ... unless you'd rather be more of an intern, whatever you like.

Anyway, I'll see you folks tomorrow!
or, uh, you'll see me.
hear me. yeah. that's it.

"We're Coming, We're Coming, We're Coming..."

I am proud to announce that Schist that ROCKS! will return to WTBU on Tuesday, September 7th! The show will run from 2-4 PM (no more graveyard shift!) every Tuesday of the Semester.
I'm getting pumped to go back to BU, and I can't wait to start the show again. I'm already wondering what song to play first, who I can have on the show, etc. If you've got any ideas about that stuff, feel free to let me know!
It also might be worth mentioning that it's looking like at least one other person will be joining the show.

PS: Bonus points if you know what song that line is from, a couple extra if you know what song it samples.

The New England Americana Festival Returns!

Back in February, I promoted the New England Americana Festival, gave out a ticket, and had one of the bands come on my show. The show brought together more than 30 regional bands for three sold out shows in Boston.

Well, I recently got an email from the Festival's coordinator, Noel Coakley, saying that the festival is back this summer at the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston!

I know it's late notice, but the first show is TONIGHT. You still have time to get ready for the other shows since the second third shows are on July 29 and August 26.
This time, the show is for all ages, although there's a special treat for those old enough: there'll be FREE BEER for the first hour of tonight's show.
I won't be there tonight, but I might make it to Boston for one of the other shows.

For more info, including the full line-up check out NEAF's website as well as the Facebook event.

What, they're back?

Okay, so I have no idea how I'm only finding out about this now, but Interpol finished their new album and announced it on their site nearly two weeks ago. Maybe you've already heard about it, but it's news to me, so I'll talk about it anyway.

They put one of the songs, "Lights," up on their site and you can download below (or just listen to it on YouTube). The song's pretty solid and definitely sounds like the Interpol we know.

The post also made another important announcement: Carlos D has left Interpol.
Don't worry, he's still on the album and it wasn't a nasty split-up or anything.

The news post said they'd be touring this summer (dates & places TBA), so look out for that. Of course, Carlos won't be touring with them, but they claim to "have some very exciting new recruits joining us on the road."

They said they'd update their site later with more info.

"all in one place, a generation lost in [cyber]space..."

I had to stop myself from writing down the rest of that line, and now I've got "American Pie" stuck in my head...

Anyway, I figured rather than make you scroll through a bunch of posts or go to another website to listen to recorded shows, I might as well have them all available in one place: here. I've made a blog post where I'll post every recording in reverse chronological order (most recent first). I've already put a few in there, and I'll add more. I'll link to the post on the right of the blog for easier access.

Lemme know what you think of the recordings post (and the recordings themselves)!
