Coffee Cups -- February 14, 2008

I DJed my first radio show last Thursday, making a Valentine's Day debut. For better or worse, the website isn't functioning, so there was no podcast made. I'm still not sure when everything will start working again, but when it does, www.wsrnfm.org should provide you with streaming radio and the podcast as well.

My show is called Coffee Cups, and it airs from 8am to 10am on Thursdays, on WSRN FM, Swarthmore College Radio. If you're in the area, you can tune in old-timey style at 91.5 FM.

I've decided to archive my playlists on Broken Loveseats, and post a couple of the tracks online each week after the show. This week was an amalgam of my most adored modern love songs and my most loudly-played bitter, vindictive songs.

Who Loves The Sun - The Velvet Underground
Concrete And Clay - Unit 4+2
Anyone Else But You - Moldy Peaches
Such Great Heights - The Postal Service
Secret Heart - Feist
Samson - Regina Spektor
