Extra samplers during January
Just a note: I'll be on the air more than usual during semester break. Starting December 31 and continuing through the month of January I'll be filling in on Thursdays from 6-10pm. What to expect? Well, does the phrase 'thrown together' mean anything to you?
More than likely, I'll be playing more vinyl than usual, odd stuff, whatever strikes me--no rhyme or reason. Feel free to contact me at the station if there's something you'd like to hear: 724-357-WIUP, or via AOL Instant Messenger, keyword IUPRADIO.

Sunday Sampler 10/4/09 (Mystery Theme)
Here's last night's Mystery Theme hour...no one (to my knowledge) figured it out. I leave it here for you to figure out, O Internet Surfer who somehow finds this post...what do all of the songs I play in this hour have in common? (Yes, other than them being rock and roll songs--hint: focus on the people singing the songs).
Otherwise, it's just another mix to listen to...click and play below.

Hour 2—Split Enz "Fan Favorite" Countdown
The results are listed at the end of this post.
I asked fans to list their favorites, ranked in 1-2-3 order, with the #1 position given 3 points total, the #2 position received 2, and the #3 position received 1 point. If there were songs that ended up with the same amount of points, the song that received the highest individual scores got the higher position.
As I tallied the songs, 12 seemed a natural limit, as there were 12 songs that received at least 2 individual votes; there were many varied suggestions for Enz songs, but many received only one (but often times passionate) vote. Sorry about that! :/
Thanks much to the lovely people who participated in the poll: Amanda from Springfield, MO; Andrew from liquidmethods.blogspot.com; Belinda; Chris from Charlottesville, NC; Chris from PA (Chris, I can’t remember if you actually live in Indiana…); Eddie from Wellington, NZ; James from Newcastle, NSW, Australia; Janine from Sydney, Australia; Jerry; Joanna; Kerron; Lauren from Dunedin, NZ (but originally from California!); Linda from Auckland, NZ; Linzi from Leeds; Martin from NZ; Nicola; Rene from Denver, CO; Robert; Steve from Columbus, OH; Tabatha from Woodbine, NSW, Australia; Trace from Wamberal, Australia. If I didn’t cite your city/town, you didn’t give it to me! Thanks once again. I hope you are able to hear the show, either “Sunday” or some other time. It was a pleasure assembling it, and touching base with all of you over the ‘net.

No show this Sunday: "Planned power outage" on campus
Hello Samplerians,
Well, as I feared, the yearly maintenance planned for the university puts the Sampler and all other WIUP programs out of business this weekend. So, I'll 'see' you the following week (May 17th) with the Split Enz countdown show, and of course, the usual mix 'specially formulated to maximize your listening pleasure!'
Thanks for listening (and looking) here.

Calling All Frenz of the Enz
I'm resigned to the fact that a lot of people just don't stumble onto this blog! But, I'd like to post this anyway, just in case...
On an upcoming Sunday Sampler (May 17th), I thought I'd do something completely different: The theme hour on that day will be devoted solely to the work of New Zealand band Split Enz, but the unique part is, I've combed Blogger to find profiles of other members who list Split Enz as one of their favorite bands, and I've asked them to please forward their 3 favorite Enz songs (in order!) to me, so I can make a sort of 'countdown' of the most popular Split Enz songs (at least amongst this relatively small corner of the web). And you, dear reader?
If I haven't sent you an email, and you find me here (somehow)...you're invited to contribute as well. You can email them to me at sundaysampler@gmail.com.
And an apology to anyone that reads this that did receive an email from me: I humbly apologize if you ended up getting duplicate emails. I started sending them via gmail, but it declared that I was sending spam, stopped me in my tracks, and right now it's inconclusive exactly how many messages actually did get though.
Thank you, thank you! I'll be anticipating your replies.

Going to try and do something different, beginning this week--I usually play a smattering of new music on each week's show; to encourage the listener to investigate further into the artist, I'll link the titles of those new tracks to the artist's website, or their MySpace page, etc. Keep in mind that on many of these pages there are embedded music players within, so music may start to play when you load their page, just so you know. Wouldn't want anyone to be confused as to why, for instance, two songs are playing on top of each other during my show (presuming, perhaps erroneously that you listen to my show)!...and if you end up becoming a fan of their music, please let them know where you heard/found 'em!

The final track of the first hour is something new from Andrew Bird. I don't know if he consciously sets out to do this, but he sure has a knack for the thoughtful, wistful song (his whistling only adds to that perception). I came across this link which features Bird's discussing his thought processes as he was organizing the ideas and music which eventually came together as the song "Oh No." I found it very interesting, and it added another layer of appreciation to my enjoyment of the song. Perhaps you'll like it, too:

Show #170--3/1/09
A different kinda mix this week, in that there's more new music than usual in the first hour, from the latest from dance-pop darlings Franz Ferdinand (heard in a new iPod Touch commercial), to jazz with a contemporary beat from the always-fresh musical mind of Dave Douglas...we also hop over to Nigeria with the R&B/Jazz/African pop of Nigerian 'sensation' (well, she is pretty popular over there) Asa (pronounced "AH-sha"). And speaking of "AH," if I remember correctly, Kreviazuk is pronounced krev-ee-AH-chuk...Hour 2 is another one of my parlour game hours, where the host plays with a word (or rather, in this case, a name), and hopes to come up with something coherent and fun to listen to. We go way back in time, to a tune originally written in 1899 (and which one would that be?), quite possibly the furthest back we've ever trolled for a song (though honestly, the performance is from the 1990s, not the 1890s).

Encore 10/7/07: "Before They Were Famous"
Here's a show that I don't think is too embarrassing for me to present to you (you be the judge)!
I play a track from musicians before they came to fame on their own, or with a group, and then I play a familiar track from them after they hit the big time. Have a listen!
