Monday Music Club playlist 6-11-12

The Monday Music Club is a 4-hour show (Mondays from 8-Midnight EDT) that follows a musical timeline; early in the show I generally explore early-to-mid 60s music and progress forward throughout the night. By midnight I’m usually in late 70s/early 80s territory. The idea is to sort of hang around with a specific musical “feel” or time period for a while, then move on.

Not everything listed here is strictly chronological; there are jumps forward and back in time in some spots, but I think overall the jumps are stylistically sound. And as you can tell by looking below, last night’s show started earlier in time than usual.

Here’s the Monday Music Club playlist from 6-11-12, warts and all (the warts come from me, but I don’t think there are too many of them). And if you want to hear a good bit of it, click the corresponding files to the right:

Monday Music Club tonight from 8pm - Midnight

During the summer, I have 4 hours each Monday night to play what I think's a pretty satisfying mix of popular and shoulda-been-popular music from the 60s and 70s on the Monday Music Club. 90.1 FM for folks around Indiana, PA, and streaming live at wiupfm.org for everyone else (click the mp3 button).

Have something you'd like to hear, whether it be familiar or obscure? I'd love to try and track it down for you: (724) 357-WIUP. 


Or, we're on AOL Instant Messenger, too, keyword IUPRADIO. 


And then there's: sundaysampler@gmail.com. That's all I got.

Show #335--5/27/12

A big thunderstorm brought a power outage to the station tonight, seemingly futzing with everything that might make music or provide light. So, no show tonight. Better luck next week. 


By the way, have you seen the video below of Doug Aitken's video installation at Washington, D.C.'s Hirshhorn Museum? It's great. 

And, I would be an even suckier social networker if I failed to tell you that the Monday Music Club is back on the air for the summer once again. It's a 4-hour mix of both familiar and forgotten music from the 1960s and '70s. Oldies radio, but...better, I think.


Listen from 8pm-Midnight (EDT) ev'ry Monday, same place as this show, wiupfm.org. That is, if we're back on the air! (Fingers crossed).
