spotlight band- sept 30th

GRASS WIDOW

self titled: grass widow

this band is greatly worth mentioning when one is discussing the genre of lo-fi. i am definitely a sucker for all girl bands. but what is even better are girls who play music that is abrasively beautiful, tough and sweet and just real. grass widow is an exemplary band, a great representation of what defines great female music. and to top that off, a great asset to all that is lo-fi. what is hard to find in great lo-fi is music that is both lo-fi and comprehensibly good. some lo-fi bands just suck and so does their recording equipment. but then some bands are just great and their bad recording is just another sweet bonus. grass widow is clearly the latter. they know what they are doing.

self titled album, grass widow, is an amazingly upbeat, scratchy, and ruff listen. it is infectiously catchy and just seems to encompass the pains, the surprises, the perks, and the confusingly weird/great complexities of being a girl.

what is on replay?: celebrate the mundane, to where

dig this and want more? similar and other worthy listens: vivian girls, dreamdate, and mika miko

And so it begins...

This is the official blog for the new radio show on KCPR, Lo-Fi, High Five! And what does this mean to you, future audience member? I will be posting my play sheet each week, which will be a nice little list of all the bands I played for the hour. Diggin' a certain song, certain artist but didn't catch the name? No worries, check in each week and you can see what I play. Along with the play sheet, I think will be throwing in some history on the Lo-Fi culture and scene, along with band information.

What you need to do:

Listen: KCPR, 91.3 FM

Stream: http://www.kcpr.org/music/live.html

Call: 756-5277

Chat on Aim: kcprrequest

When: Every Thursday, 1-2 pm

Pretty simple, pretty easy. As for the request, feel free to drop a band name and I'll play it. Just stick to the lo-fi theme. Definition and history will be coming soon.

Love,

Dj....something. i am workin' on that too.
