So many fun times this week at Knox Road Radio! Jamie and I held down the fort and played all sorts of great music, including a set consisting only of ridiculous songs from ridiculous albums set to come out this Tuesday. Don't worry — we got you covered on reviews. Also, we determined that Josh Ritter is basically the bottom part of a cupcake. You had to be there. Knox Road Radio 5.2.10 [MP3] (Note: Bonus song! The show before us leaked into our time. So enjoy some Animal Collective at the beginning, then.) [...]
Jamie was back after a two week absence and we were finally able to discuss MGMT's "Flash Delirium" in a positive light. Look for his album review on Congratulations this week, you may be pleasantly surprised. Other notables from this show included a song (well, artist - Camera Obscura) request from Matt from the popular music blog The Music Slut . He used to DJ at WMUC as well (yep, it is indeed a small world!). Have a listen, eh? Knox Road Radio 4.11.10 [MP3] (Show starts 1 minute in. Available until [...]
Jon and I had a great time this week. Unfortunately, Jamie, wasn't around to discuss the new MGMT video for "Flash Delirium" as he would have lent his "modern art" perspective to the video, which would have been thought provoking, and at the very least, enjoyable, to listen to. But we had a lot of great songs this week, including several singles from upcoming albums. Check it out below. Knox Road Radio 4.4.10 [MP3] (Show starts 1:12 in. Available until next Sunday's show at 12-2pm ET.) 01| [...]
This week Lee and Jamie were absent, so me and my partner-in-crime (PIC) Steven played some awesome tunes for you all. And talked about concerts, notably Shearwater and The Antlers (which were both good! Go see them!). Also, there was really loud music in the background while we were talking, and you can kind of hear it. It was annoying, let me tell you. Knox Road Radio 3.28.10 [MP3] (Note: Starts 1:52 in. Available until next Sunday's show at 12-2pm ET.) 01| The National - "Bloodbuzz Ohio" 02| Delorean - "Stay Close" [...]
Well after talking about everything that ISN'T music, and after having a healthy discussion about the idea of the remix, we got down to playing the tunes you either love, hate or love even more. Happy Birthday to Jon's mom! This show was for you! Knox Road Radio 3.7.10 [MP3] (Available until next Sunday's show.) *As a reminder, Knox Road Radio broadcasts live every Sunday afternoon, 12-2 pm ET. Head here and click on WMUC2 in the upper left corner to listen in your media player. 01| Cults – "Go [...]
Finally, the three of us (Jamie, Jon and I) were reunited. Last week Jon admirably took over the show with KR friends Zach and Steven, but this week we were up to our old, mischievous ways, arguing over prog-rock vs. bedroom projects, which included Jamie making the bold (read: ridiculous - to Jon and me) statement that Shearwater's music isn't genuine. Oh boy. Have a listen below, you don't wanna miss this one! Knox Road Radio 2.28.10 [MP3] (Available until next Sunday's show.) *As a reminder, Knox Road Radio broadcasts live every Sunday [...]
On this issue of Knox Road Radio, I was sadly left to my own devices when Jamie and Lee were unable to make the show. But it was OK! I got a pair of my non-blogger partners-in-crime (vandalism, mostly), Zach and Steven, to help me play some of this past week's most awesome music. And it wasn't easy, let me tell you. One of the mics wasn't working too well, which actually led to some nice yelling/field reporting courtesy of Zach, and a giant asteroid fell on the studio in the middle of the show. Guess which one of those [...]
Special Valentine's Day show!! By which I mean, we did nothing special because almost all songs are about love, sex or lack-thereof. So sue us! But we did have a great time discussing blog politics and whether or not the universe is actually a hologram (leaning toward not). "Music makes the people come together," right? This girl knows what I'm talking about. Knox Road Radio 2.14.10 [MP3] (Available until next Sunday's show) *As a reminder, Knox Road Radio broadcasts live every Sunday afternoon, 12-2 pm ET. Head here and click on WMUC2 [...]
So if you didn't listen to Knox Road Radio this week, shame on you. Just kidding! It was our first week back in the station in about seven weeks, so we'll forgive you this time. But next week we won't go so easy on you. Seriously. Anyway, today we talked about Knox Road's up and coming Band Pronunciation and Concert Calendar pages, which won't actually be made, but aren't they great ideas? Is Toro Y Moi pronounced Toro Why Moy, Toro Eeh Mwah, or what? It's eating me up inside! Listen and find out! [...]
Today Lee and I learned a lot about ourselves during the radio show, like how Lee's related to the late singer of Morphine, and how I'm just awesome in general. Even though we all knew that already. But anyway, this week will mark the one year birthday of Knox Road, so we made sure to put on a crazy, sexy party during the show. Or did we? I don't know, man, I guess you'll just have to listen and find out. Knox Road Radio 11.13.09 [MP3] (Available until next Sunday's show) 01| WHY? [...]

Unfortunately, something was screwy with the stream ripper at the radio station and today's show wasn't properly archived in mp3 format. So you cannot listen to it. Fortunately, we had fun, and that's all that really matters right?? Fun Fun Fun. No, we're not at that Austin fest; we can get down ourselves, thank you very much. 01| Goldspot – "Float On" (Modest Mouse cover) [MP3] 02| Frightened Rabbit - "Nothing Like You" 03| Grizzly Bear - "Ready, Able" [MP3] 04| Akudama - "Thumbelina" 05| Stricken City - "Small Things" [...]

We got all spooky and Halloweeny on everyone, mixing in a bit of a creepfest (read: a Liars song) with the usual, expected tunes from Knox Road Radio. Lots of inside jokes (I wasn't privy either don't worry,) lots of Sporcle, and lots of affection from Jon for Los Campesinos!. Check out the full show (starts 25 seconds in) and playlist below. Knox Road Radio 10.25.09 [MP3] (available until next Sunday's show) 01| DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince – "Nightmare on My Street" 02| Los Campesinos! – "The Sea Is A [...]
We had special guest Sadie on to discuss why she loves Metric (yay) and other similar female fronted groups but not Florence + The Machine (wtf??). This was particularly intriguing for Jon and me, as we love just about everything Florence. Check out the full show (starts 20 seconds in) and playlist below. Knox Road Radio 10.25.09 [MP3] (available until next Sunday's show) 01| Florence + The Machine - "Drumming Song" 02| Atlas Sound - "Walkabout" (with Noah Lennox) 03| Kings of Convenience - "Boat Behind" 04| Tim Williams - [...]

Despite Jon's odd proclamation of being jaded with music we still gushed over our playlist this week, mostly because of upcoming releases and such. You can listen to the entire show below! There's banter, music, and more banter. Oh yeah, and Where The Wild Things Are . Knox Road Radio 10.18.09 [MP3] (available until next Sunday's show) 01| Hawksley Workman - "Maniacs 02| The Flaming Lips - "Gemini Syringes" 03| Thao With the Get Down Stay Down - "Know Better Learn Faster" 04| Headlights - "Telephones" 05| Olafur [...]
Finally, you can listen to the entirety of the Knox Road Radio (every noon - 2 p.m. ET) show this week! Woo hoo! See that little play button below? Yeah, that's our show. So listen up! This one was extra special because we played Hands and Knees ' live performance from last week when they came in to the studio. (Sorry for the nothingness at the beginning - the show starts at 2:30. Also, "Idioteque" unfortunately gets cut off at the end.) "[talk talk talk]" means Jamie, Jon and I are talking. In case you couldn't figure that [...]
Exciting news on the radio front! Apologies if you've already heard this from our Twitter or Facebook group already, but for those who haven't, Boston's Hands and Knees will be performing live on Knox Road Radio tomorrow! As usual, the show is from Noon to two (Eastern Time), and we expect Hands and Knees to perform for about 45 minutes. We'll also ask them a few questions about their craft, so you'll be getting a bit of an insider's perspective. You can tune in online at WMUC (click on WMUC 2 at the upper [...]
The radio show was great this week, you guys. We learned that indie bloggers can be sports fans too! We also got a chance to hear modern Icelandic classical music (thanks Jon!). Be sure to check it out next Sunday from 12 to 2 p.m. at WMUC's website (click the WMUC2 link at the left). 1. Kurt Vile – "Hunchback" 2. Wild Beasts – "Two Dancers" 3.
