| 12:00am | 3:00am | American CratonI dedicate songs to people and also play the songs. One time a guy told me that it was the "worst show ever" because all I played was "fake go-go music" and "pseudo-50s junk" but I feel like that was an exaggeration. I would like it very much if you listened to my show. |

| 3:00am | 6:00am | Must Not Sleep / Must Warn OthersThe opening track on the self-titled April 1993 Bikini Kill seven inch features a pre-Le Tigre twenty-something Kathleen Hanna. With a shrill, high-pitched, and distinctly yet deliberately girly screech, she exclaims "this is new radio!" This radio show takes its name from this particular moment and aims to interpret what Kathleen proposed and functionally apply it. By playing music, which has creatively involved females, and specifically exhibits "girl" attributes, many musical moments which have come to occupy the mainstream musical consciousness, may be interpreted with a new understanding of musical and cultural history. Highlighting a different genre and/or theme each show, I will produce a sonic experience that forces us to rethink the way we interpret "girl" music and what it actually means to embrace girldom through a musical paradigm. http://thisisnewradio.blogspot.com/ |
