The Playlist 8/25
Last night’s show ended up coming together surprisingly well. I had to reach back a littler further than normal for newer music so it wasn’t the absolute latest crop that The Playlist is normally comprised of, but I think the overall product of the show was pretty decent. I actually ended up playing a couple older tracks, Streetlight Manifesto to satisfy a request and Rilo Kiley for my fiancée since I got the song stuck in her head earlier in the day. Fitting these two in wasn’t too hard as it seems the Music Department has been a little behind throughout the Summer while everyone is away from school. This has resulted in the overall flow of albums getting reviewed and into the studio being almost non-existent. I expect that things will start to pick up next week as kids come back to school.
Other than that, there isn’t really a lot to say about the show.

that Wavves song is one of the few i really like on the record. if you guys get in the new eels record, it’s awesome.
We probably have it sitting in an unopened package somewhere. I didn’t want to say this up above, but honestly, the music department at the station is a joke anymore. It’s actually very upsetting and probably the main reason why I’m ending the show.
aw man, that sucks. you’d think music would be top priority at a radio station
Normally, it is at our station. The Music Department is normally the one department that has their shit together year after year.
