Nite Owl #3

Nite Owl is a WMBR show on Saturdays that has a revolving door of various DJs that sign up for the slot a few weeks in advance. It basically provides a gateway for curious MIT students to get involved with the station and see what it's like to host a show without any commitments. In fact, it's how I was introduced to WMBR, so I can attest to how cool it is that it's there. I filled in this Saturday, and this is what I played:

Two Receivers - Klaxons
Eli - Caribou
Flower Gardens - Chad VanGaalen
Sister Jack - Spoon
Are You on My Side - Rogue Wave
We Shot the World - Ponys
Falling Through Your Clothes - The New Pornographers
Lady Lawyers - Oxford Collapse
Girls of Wild Strawberries - Guided By Voices
Now Now - St. Vincent
Unleashed! The Large Hearted Boy - Guided By Voices
The Zookeeper's Boy - Mew
I Remember - Figurines
The Dance of the Hours - The Clientele
Son - The National
Range Life - Pavement
On the Bubble - The Broken West
Neptune's Net - M. Ward
I Don't Believe You - The Magnetic Fields
Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Party's Crashing Me - Of Montreal
Napalm Love - Air
Les Os - The Unicorns
So Long, Lonesome - Explosions in the Sky

I flirted with the idea of going outside my normal range (and maybe play some Beach Boys and Beatles) with the playlist because this is not my normal show. I ended up deciding to use the Nite Owl slot as an opportunity to advertise for Don't Stop Now by playing the kind of music that you'd hear on it. I would've taken requests if any had been made. Usually at an earlier time slot, people are much more likely to call in, but I guess since it's summer, not many people are on campus. I remember one particular time that I did Nite Owl where I got like a dozen legitimate callers. It was kind of annoying actually. This time, however, I was angry at how dead the lines were, and I expressed my hostility at the end of the show only half-jokingly.

Edit: I forgot to post a link to the show. This might be the first time I'm glad the previous show bled over into the file because they closed with "The Humans are Dead" by Flight of the Conchords.
