In honor of the remaining dozen teams in the NCAA tournament, this Friday's show will feature 12 songs, pitted against each other in a March Madness style battle for greatness. That's right, instead of seeing the elevating dunks of Michael "Air" Jordan's Tar Heels, you can hear the soaring melodies of French electronica band "Air", featuring Nicholas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunkel. Listeners call in and decide who goes on and who goes home. A Reasonable Alternative airs from 8-9 PM, Friday.
This week's feature band is Broken Social Scene, the everchanging supergroup that hails from Toronto. Founded by Brendan Canning and Kevin Drew in 1999, the duo have welcomed numerous members of the Canadian indie music scene to play with them over the years, including Emily Haines (Metric), Amy Millan (Stars) and Drew's current girlfriend Leslie Feist (now a successful artist in her own right, famous for the colorful IPod commercials using her hit "1234"). Tune in Friday from 8 to 9 to hear some samples of this band's many incarnations, including their new album "Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew".
If you thought all Irish music was played on the bagpipe, think again. We're celebrating the holiday early by giving you an eclectic mix of musicians that hail from the land of the blarney stone and little green elves. And what better way to pay homage to Ireland's biggest rock band than to play (U)2fers of all these great artists for not one, but two hours! That's right, tune in to A Reasonable Alternative from 8 to 10 PM this Friday (while Stevie Mix takes a breather...don't worry, he'll be back next week). It might just bring you a little bit of Irish luck:)
Taking a detour this week into the thick of the mainstream, as this devoted football fan gets ready for the biggest game of the year...the Super Bowl. Featuring artists who have performed during the half time show, like ZZ Top, Mary J. Blige, U2, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder and this year's headliner- Prince. Diligently searching to uncover some musical soul buried in the avalanche of glitz and glam of this overblown extravaganza/American institution. Paying tribute to the event that has evolved (??) from its humble beginnings with college marching bands through the Disney/Up With People years to the recent MTV debacle with Ms. read more »
