Music Mondays meets Hot Picks
A little tour of the hotness on the radio…
Most Picked:
Puscifer - Queen B (KFMA, KQXR, KTEG, KZND, WEQX, WFXH, WHTG)
If you didn’t know, this is Maynard’s latest side project. And as always, he is pushing the envelope....the album is called “V is for Vagina.”
The Killers - Shadowplay (KQXR, KRXF, KXRK, WHTG, WKZQ, WLUM, WTGZ)
Why are the Killers still allowed to make music? Oh wait, this is cover. That still doesn’t make it any better.
Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day (KCCQ, KDGE, KFRR, KKZQ, KVGS, Waitt Radio Networks, WSFM)
And the LP juggernaut continues.
Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies (KFMA, KPNT, WBRU, WFNX, WPBZ, WRRV)
Nice to see this one.
The Almost - Southern Weather (KCCQ, KCXX, KDGE, KXRK, WARQ)
I wonder if Aaron’s bandmates in Underoath are jealous of his side project’s success?
CIMX/Detroit, MI - Jay Hudson (MD)
Finger Eleven - Falling On
Luna Halo - Untouchable (wm stream)
Spill Canvas - All Over You
A couple of bands/songs that have not had a bunch of airplay.
KDGE/Dallas, TX - Chris Ryan (APD/MD)
The Almost - Southern Weather
Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day
Skindred - Rat Race
Nope, can’t get behind these ones. When I am in Dallas, listening to this station is such a mixed bag. Sometimes I can listen for quite a while and then there’s a PapaRoach-Finger Eleven-Three Days Grace-LP marathon and I want to kill myself. Sigh.
KROG/Medford, OR - Craig Cooper (PD)
Hellyeah - Alcohaulin’ Ass
Serj Tankian - Empty Walls
The White Stripes - You Don’t Know What Love Is
Serj has the built in SOAD audience and that is all he needs. Check out the video for “Empty Walls” here.
KWOD/Sacramento, CA - Andy Hawk (MD)
Feist - 1234
Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Diablo Rojo
Whitey - Wrap It Up
A couple of interesting ones considering this station has always leaned on the harder side of the alt rock.
Sirius -Alt Nation/Left Of Center - Rich McLaughlin (PD)
Arckid - I’ll Stick Around
The Honorary Title - Untouched And Intact
Rogue Wave - Lake Michigan
You can listen to “Untouched and Intact” on myspace. Not a bad little song at all. I’m still not into Rogue Wave.
WEQX/Albany, NY - Willobee (OM/PD)
Puscifer - Queen B
Radiohead - Bodysnatchers
Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Everyone is playing the shit out of the new Radiohead. As well they should. I see “Bodysnatchers” coming up a lot as far as well received tracks.
WHHZ/Gainesville, FL - MoJo (PD/MD)
Information Society - Run Away
Sea Wolf - You’re A Wolf
Whitey - Wrap It Up
Sea Wolf is on Dangerbird so that’s got some cred. This song is already being played on KBZT (and they’ll be in SD for KBZT’s “About the Music” series in November.)
WWCD/Columbus, OH - Rachael Gordon (MD)
Bad Religion - New Dark Ages
Feist - 1234
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Kiss Kiss
Lots of people in love with the YYY ep.
XM - Ethel - Erik Range (MD)
The Bird And The Bee - Polite Clap Dance
Kings Of Leon - Fans
M.I.A. - Paper Planes
These are all over the place and yet somehow, they work.
XTRA-F/San Diego, CA -Capone (MD)
Carbon/silicon - The News
Louis XIV - Guilt By Association
One Republic - Apologize
Should I bother tracking these down?
P.S. I found the bonus in the listen section when I was looking for “Polite Clap Dance.” It’s rad.
