Today's show was a complete success [finally] no more weird glitches and problems with the music/cds! I have figured out the problem...I was really happy about this today :]

Thanks for listening, and don't forget to wake up with Bedhead next Wednesday!

Jamie Cullum

Spring Break came to a good end last night when my friend, Chelsea, and I went to a Jamie Cullum show [for FREE]! I won the tickets through KUPS on facebook - which is a really good reason to join the KUPS group on facebook, by the way. Anyway, Jamie Cullum performed at The Moore Theatre in Seattle [I love that city] and it was the most amazing show ever. I was blown away, and so was Chelsea. I hadn't known much of his music, and Chelsea actually didn't know any of it, but we both had an amazing time at the show. He is such a great performer and he's funny, too. He covered songs - or segments of songs - ranging in artists from The White Stripes to Justin Timberlake to Radiohead and Rihanna; all of which sounded amazing. His band is a group of some of the most talented musicians, each of them played at least two or three different instruments and Jamie is just ridiculously talented, I'm definitely jealous. I recommend listening to his music, it's really good. His style is very jazzy with a pop twist, it's some feel-good music. He gets the crowd really involved in his shows, too and the whole thing was a ton of fun I can't explain how nice it was to be there. I bought his CD and every song is perfection.
The only thing I regret about the show is the fact that I forgot my camera...horrible, I know. Anyway, the whole night was a success and the next time Jamie Cullum is in town I am buying tickets to his show.

Spring Break

As you may have noticed, I wasn't on air today. It's Spring Break and I just couldn't wake up early enough to do my show this week. However, I have been thinking of going down to the station and just doing a random show for a while, because not many of the other DJs are here; I wonder if I can do that though...anyway, tune in next week!
and I hope everyone's having a good spring break :]

The Pipettes

So I don't know how many of you listen to The Pipettes, but I discovered them a few years ago and immediately fell in love with their music. The Pipettes consisted [notice the past tense] of Gwenno, RiotBecki, and Rosay. They were an awesome trio with great, catchy songs from the UK. However, recently RiotBecki and Rosay have left The Pipettes to 'pursue other music careers,' leaving Gwenno by herself, great. Now, apparently they've found 2 new members, but when I watched the music video for their brand new release, there were only 2 people...? So I'm not sure if The Pipettes are now 2 or 3. Either way, their new song is definitely a very different sound and I'm not sure if I like it as much. They were so poppy and catchy and fun before, now their sound is...I don't know, I feel like it's trying too hard. There's a part of the song when they heavily you a synthesizer, and I find it to be more annoying than anything. And the song is a little weird for me, the title is: Our Love Was Saved by a Spaceman. interesting choice. Call me stubborn, but I definitely miss the old sound - although I know it won't be made again since the original members are no longer a part of The Pipettes.

Anyway, this whole Pipettes raid started because I heard one of their old songs today when I was working and I remembered how much I loved them! I think you should check out their old stuff - and their new stuff, too, maybe you'll enjoy it more than I do.

with Gwenno, RiotBecki, and Rosay:

P.s. does anyone know where I can make color copies for [almost] free?
