Now that the semester is well on its way, we at WPGU have tried to settle back in to kicking out the latest and greatest jams. I hope to provide frequent updates with information about the new music we’re most excited about playing and I’d love to receive any comments about these songs or recommendations for songs you think we should be playing.
Here’s the newest stuff to listen for on WPGU:
1. Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
2. Jason Collett - Out of Time - This song is off Jason Collett (Broken Social Scene) ’s fifth solo effort, Here’s To Being Here. It starts off with a cool, slow, Dylanny swagger and the chorus is catchy as hell.
3. Rivers Cuomo - Blast Off! - After Weezer’s Blue Album was released, Rivers wrote a rock opera set in space. Nyerd. The album was never released but a few songs made it onto Rivers’ solo B-sides and rarities album. If you’re still wincing from “Beverly Hills” this song will alleviate the pain.
4. Bon Iver - Skinny Love - I am admittedly a huge sucker for acoustic songs, but I think this one really stands out. I definitely recommend giving it a listen right now.
5. The 1900s - When I Say Go This band is on Urbana’s own Parasol Records. Their new album, Cold & Kind, is really effing good.
