Playlist 08/02/10
Firstly, apologies to all who tried to listen to us via radio today; our transmitter was down due to what seemed to be a power outage at the university. I'm not sure if everything was up and running by the time Gumdrops and Lollipops began broadcasting, but maybe you listened online?
Theme: Love Songs
I am not sure how well I executed this theme; it is so broad. I tried to draw from both the sentimental and goofy departments, which resulted in this bizarre mix of emotion that left me not entirely satisfied. Still, I genuinely ♥♥♥ a lot of the songs featured on the show this week.
Camouflage Nights/ unreleased/ It Could Be Love
The Shangri-Las/ Leader of the Pack/ Out in the Streets
The Magnetic Fields/ Distortion/ Please Stop Dancing
The Magnetic Fields/ 69 Love Songs Vol. 2/ Papa Was a Rodeo
Leonard Cohen/ Songs of Love and Hate/ Famous Blue Raincoat
Jens Lekman and José Gonzalez covering the Songs:Ohia track "Being In Love" (live)*
The Beat Happening/ You Turn Me On/ You Turn Me On
Helen Love/ Bubblegum Killers EP/ Debbie Loves Joey
The Unloveables/ Crush Boyfriend Heartbreak/ Bein' In Love
Cars Can Be Blue/ All the Stuff We Do/ I Like
Casper & the Cookies/ The Optimist's Club/ Kiss a Friend
BMX Bandits/ Down at the Hop/ Love at the Hop
You can preview the rest of that Cars Can Be Blue album here. Some of the songs could get me kicked off air (eg. "Abortion"), and others would fit better on a sex-themed show ("Dirty Song"--sample lyrics: "You can eat me out/ With that dirty mouth/ Do it then get out"), so I didn't play them this week, and might never play them.
*The only things I know about indiepop I learn from a faraway friendly acquaintance of a close friend of mine, who listens and patiently (eagerly) corrects me everytime I leave out a fact, state something untrue, or brush over something he thinks is important for indiepop enthusiasts to know. Oh yeah, he also bought me a Lucksmiths t-shirt so I can maintain my status as indiepop poseur. But seriously. You'd be so misinformed if he wasn't around.

I knew I recognized that Jens song (songs:ohio) / I listened on the radio
yes, a friendly acquaintance which I haven't spoken to in...too long. If you read this, you've been on my 'to do' list for the past three weeks.
by the way, on the L word this week (I'm such a dyke) they played both the pipettes and the shangri-las. I may have squealed slightly.
oh man i played some Magnetic Fields on my show last week !
lissa--a squealing dyke? whatever...
