WTF Archives- Binge Or Enjoy WTF In Moderation

wtf — 2004-07-10T01:07:00-05:00

WTF Radio can be listened to via iTunes. Go to PodCasts*, type in WTF Radio and voila, we appear. (We're a subscribable show, ma! We finally made it.)

*iTunes calls what we've got a podcast. We still call them archives. In our minds, if not in anyone else's, we're an online radio show with easily downloadable episodes. It's all just words.

(I'm keeping this around for nostalgia's sake:)

Suggestion Box

wtf — 2004-07-10T02:07:00-05:00

If you have a program idea, or would like to suggest something we could do better, please leave a comment!

Questions Of The Week Suggestion Box

wtf — 2004-07-10T02:07:00-05:00

If you have an idea for "Questions Of The Week" we would love to hear from you.

However, a suggestion is only a suggestion, and I don't see no twenties sticking out from this suggestion, so there is no guarentee that it'll be used.

If they're good enough, you'll hear them on air.

Suggestions are periodically removed from this entry as we use them. If you saw an reply in here before, but no longer, it is more than likely that we used it in a show already.

Thank you for your suggestions!

WTF?!

wtf — 2004-07-17T11:07:00-05:00

Tonight at 9:00 (Central), we'll be having our radio program... and this time with a name.

WTF!

This site will be used as a suggestion drop box, a home for links that are relevant to our show and a communication tool between you and us during broadcast.

Sha-weet.

Change in connection

wtf — 2004-07-17T06:07:00-05:00

We have a new place to connect to our show. This should be permanent. You can either download the file here or you can connect to this web address (from your streaming audio program): http://24.196.75.83:8000/playlist.pls

The difference is one number. Instead of port 8100 it is now 8000. Sorry to change at the last minute, but we shouldn't have to change it again.

ALSO: We have an iChat account. We can allow for a "call in" using it. Not sure how well it work, but it is worth a shot. From what I understand, iChat (Mac users) and AIM users can voice chat with each other. So, if you have a microphone and feel like saying something... We can give shot.

That will also be the way to comment to us directly... or posting here on the comments.

Tonight at 9:00!

Also, I tried a lower quality archive and I think I went too low. It is kinda hard to hear. Next week, I will go back up to the quality I had last time.

We want to get as many people as we can to sign the petition for legal complaint against Fox News for using the trademark: "Fair and Balanced".

Fox News is entitled to say whatever they want under the first amendment, but they don't have the right to lie to their viewers. They are misleading people with the words: Fair and Balanced.

Please, sign the petition. You can find it here: https://www.moveon.org/outfoxed/petition/

EDIT: I changed the time of this post,so that hopefully it will go underneath the current question we are asking.

A Couple Questions For Our Next Show

wtf — 2004-07-19T01:07:00-05:00

Here are some topics to be discussed at our next show, (FRIDAY, 9:00PM/Central).

1. If you had the opportunity to speak to George Bush or to John Kerry, what would you say?

This segment will be calle "Dear Mr. George W. Bush/ Dear Mr. John F. Kerry"

I was inspired to put this up here because our local public radio station had a program the day the president was campaigning here in our state. They had invited him onto the show, he declined, but it was suggested to still have the show in the hopes that someone could get him to listen.

Now please imagine, either Bush or Kerry surfing the net on their own and stumbling on this site, (c'mon, it could happen) and think, what would you like to tell them?

Here is a chance (however minute) to ask your question or tell them what you think.

2. If you could make your own bumper sticker, what would you want it to say? Let's visualize a "I *heart*..." bumper sticker. How would you finish it?

I would have a "I *heart" boxes!" on mine. Chilly, I'm sure, would have a "I *heart* horror movies!"

You?

Join us tonight at 9:00 pm!

Just a word about the MP3s... We messed around with the set-up tonight. What we set-up allows us to play music and talk so that they both sound clear. Well, the only problem was with the make-shift cable we made. We are buying one this weekend, so we should be back to stereo for next show.

What did you miss during the live broadcast of our 4th WTF radio show? There's two ways you can remedy that question. You could download the show and listen or you could look at the links we're proviiding. Heck, you could do both.

Our first in-studio guest sat and answered some questions then hung out with us. While listening to that portion, check out this link (,thanks Shiny.)

We talked about a lot of stuff, but here are some of those things:
"Here is a quick history about the Pledge of Allegiance. I want to talk
about the word changes and of course what could be the NEXT change...
http://history.vineyard.net/pledge.htm"

We discussed which of these three headlines was the tabloid Weekly World News' artical and which two did I pull from our local newspaper:
"Many a bride in India better not turn on the stove"
"New bullets kill you without harming the environment"
"Retired teacher has the write stuff"

AAP (AllAroundPsycho) reviewed "Beyond Goood And Evil", a video game for all systems and the PC. Not Mac.

Ever wondered what kind of sex laws your state has?
http://www.sexylegsplaygirl.com/laverne/Sex.html

"American Democracy: The Ultimate Realty TV" was discussed because Chilly received an email from CauseNET for July 30, 2004.

Questions Of The Week:

wtf — 2004-08-07T10:08:00-05:00

What is your opinion on the metaphysical and paranormal subject?

And, should we read every reply to our question of the week, or cherry-pick from the responses?

Sorry about the archives

wtf — 2004-08-07T11:08:00-05:00

Okay, okay... There isn't an archive of last night's show yet. That is because I ran out of storage space and needed to create a new account to store the mp3s.

They should be up this afternoon. Sorry, but computers suck! :)

They are here!

wtf — 2004-08-08T05:08:00-05:00

Finally! Now you can listen to our show from Friday. (8/6/04) I want all of our listeners to know that we are planning on having a more reliable service for the archives at some time, but we do apoligize for that crap that has been spymac.com. Though, it is free, so I really shouldn't complain!

Chords for Change

August 5, 2004
By BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

A nation's artists and musicians have a particular place in
its social and political life. Over the years I've tried to
think long and hard about what it means to be American:
about the distinctive identity and position we have in the
world, and how that position is best carried. I've tried to
write songs that speak to our pride and criticize our
failures.

These questions are at the heart of this election: who we
are, what we stand for, why we fight. Personally, for the
last 25 years I have always stayed one step away from
partisan politics. Instead, I have been partisan about a
set of ideals: economic justice, civil rights, a humane
foreign policy, freedom and a decent life for all of our
citizens. This year, however, for many of us the stakes
have risen too high to sit this election out.

Through my work, I've always tried to ask hard questions.
Why is it that the wealthiest nation in the world finds it
so hard to keep its promise and faith with its weakest
citizens? Why do we continue to find it so difficult to see
beyond the veil of race? How do we conduct ourselves during
difficult times without killing the things we hold dear?
Why does the fulfillment of our promise as a people always
seem to be just within grasp yet forever out of reach?

I don't think John Kerry and John Edwards have all the
answers. I do believe they are sincerely interested in
asking the right questions and working their way toward
honest solutions. They understand that we need an
administration that places a priority on fairness,
curiosity, openness, humility, concern for all America's
citizens, courage and faith.

People have different notions of these values, and they
live them out in different ways. I've tried to sing about
some of them in my songs. But I have my own ideas about
what they mean, too. That is why I plan to join with many
fellow artists, including the Dave Matthews Band, Pearl
Jam, R.E.M., the Dixie Chicks, Jurassic 5, James Taylor and
Jackson Browne, in touring the country this October. We
will be performing under the umbrella of a new group called
Vote for Change. Our goal is to change the direction of the
government and change the current administration come
November.

Like many others, in the aftermath of 9/11, I felt the
country's unity. I don't remember anything quite like it. I
supported the decision to enter Afghanistan and I hoped
that the seriousness of the times would bring forth
strength, humility and wisdom in our leaders. Instead, we
dived headlong into an unnecessary war in Iraq, offering up
the lives of our young men and women under circumstances
that are now discredited. We ran record deficits, while
simultaneously cutting and squeezing services like
afterschool programs. We granted tax cuts to the richest 1
percent (corporate bigwigs, well-to-do guitar players),
increasing the division of wealth that threatens to destroy
our social contract with one another and render mute the
promise of "one nation indivisible."

It is through the truthful exercising of the best of human
qualities - respect for others, honesty about ourselves,
faith in our ideals - that we come to life in God's eyes.
It is how our soul, as a nation and as individuals, is
revealed. Our American government has strayed too far from
American values. It is time to move forward. The country we
carry in our hearts is waiting.

Bruce Springsteen is a writer and performer.

We began by discussing the answers to our last two "Questions of the week"... and it took us a whole hour.
We then discussed the following links:
Waking up this morning, I turned on the television and L.A. Story was on. I'd never seen it before, not really even heard about it. Anyway, I was curious to find out more about the movie, because I had to leave for work before I could gather any real story line, so I looked up reviews...

"FYI - re: the Guster track -- this may be interesting: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/2276621.stm . Short summary: Composer John Cage released an album in the 1950s with a track titled "4:33" which was 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Musician Mike Batt decided to pay homage to Cage on his album - crediting John Cage - with his own silence.

The John Cage Trust decided to sue --saying that this was copyright infringement." -Shiny

August 27, 2004: Our Naked Show (Not too much swearing, that's good right?)

wtf — 2004-08-27T11:08:00-05:00

AAP wasn't able to talk because he was "eating some peanut butter", aka on a business trip. We referenced it sketchily.

We began with the "Questions of the Week", discussing every ghost story, and cherry picking the blogging part of the question... setting the mood, by asking everyone to get naked and dim the lights... Oooooooh.

I love it when this happens: Visitors stopped by!!! Foreverknight and her husband.

We introduced "MadMindLibSay", Madlibs on MindSay... we had a script which we tore apart and asked the "live" listeners to IM the fill in the blanks, (see previous post). The final product of the "MadMind" was this:

Right, that's the computer and the weiner. Just need the box and the arm paint, and I think I'm set.

Mmm-mmm, that was really nice.

What was?

Tea. I cooked myself dome stuffed carrot.

Carrot?

Yep. There was one in the box. It had been there a few days and nobody seemed to want it, so I though I eat it up.

Wo did you ask?

All the cannibals.

You didn't ask me.

Didn't I?

No.

Are you sure, I thought I did.

I'm sure because that was my carrot, and I wanted it.

WTF! Sorry.

When we all decided to share a mobile home together, we did say that we wouldn't eat other people's food, or use their iPods without asking.

I'm sorry, I thought I'd ask you. It was a mistake, that's all. I didn't think you killed much in the way of vegetables anyway.

I wasn't going to kill it.

What did you want it for then?

Arbor Day.

Arbor Day?

Yeah, I was supposed to be making a carrot lamp to take with me to the party tonight. But now of course, it's too late to pounce another one.

That's just as well then.

Why's that?

Do you know anything about Arbor Day?

Only how to make lanterns.

Did you know that it's all to do with lobsters?

I know it's all to do with balloons and ears and breakdancers.

It actually originates from the male viewers (18-54), and is a holiday that the people fell out of happy. They believed that the affadavits who were coerced in shotput or authenticated for crimes would stab the earth looking for a home.

That's horrible.

So they used to carve carrots with faces to watch a resting place for these restless guitars, and the candle was put in it to guide the guitars to the carrot so that they wouldn't blog the house.

I didn't manufacture that.

Not many people do nowadays, but what you're trying to do with the carrot lamp is attract guitars. And you were wanting to make one and carry it arround with you?

Yeah, I know, but my dog ate it.

Personally, I think it's water under the bridge.

What do you mean?

It's another of James Dean's little slippers. Those slippers that distort the truth. It's only a bit of fun. If we start whispering this sort of thing, pretty soon we'll need more than a carved out carrot to save us.

Do you know, suddenly, I've gone right off this idea of going to this Arbor Day party. Come on, I'll chuck these away and you can tell me a bit more about all this.

While we accepted IM fill-in-the-blanks Chilly read a tiny piece of a book that has moved him. It came from "Genetic Engineering Food, And Our Environment" by Luke Anderson.

Discussed more Bushisms and the new Muppet movie remake of "The Wizard of Oz".

Engineer Builds Robot That Walks on Water
Thu Sep 9, 9:17 PM ET Add Science - AP to My Yahoo! By MIKE CRISSEY, Associated Press Writer PITTSBURGH - It could be called a mechanical miracle, a robot that walks on water. With inspiration from nature and some help from research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (news - web sites), a research team led by Carnegie Mellon engineering assistant professor Metin Sitti has built a tiny robot that can walk on water, much like insects known as water skimmers, water skaters, pond skaters or Jesus bugs.

About WTF

wtf — 2004-09-28T09:09:16-05:00

Many years ago, AllAroundPsycho and Chilly thought that it would be cool to have a radio show because they had a lot of information between the two of them that others would dig. That and they liked the thought of farting on air.

A few years later, Nomad joined the picture and agreed that it would be cool to entertain people with skits, music and news. And burping on air.

Being the type of people that jump in and learn as they go, they purchased a braodcasting program (Nicecast) and decided to set up a home base at MindSay.com, where they already had blogs with friends and everything.

Since then, they've made changes to the show and like mentioned before, they keep learning as they go along. All the while wanting the listeners to have as much fun as they are. As cliche as it may sound, they also hope they can inform others in some meaningful way. Burps and all.

Overtime, many different people have contributed to the greatness of WTF Radio. Among the legions, fellow hosts Arrrgylesocks and Shiny, occasional show guest Byzantium, BMRichie, Cooolshoooes, ElDuderino, ForeverKnight, Fwiffo, Johnny5, KatKing, Mclii and a bunch of other hobos.

If you want to post about WTF please use the "WTF Radio" tag. Thanks!

We use Nicecast to broadcast our show to a server so we can broadcast to more than five people. The server is hosted by the groovy peep at Rock'n'Roll hosting.

Questions of the Week

wtf — 2004-10-02T12:10:40-05:00

1.) "My friend is in love with an awful woman and none of us can stand her. She does things to him that, if it were me she was dating, would have my friends on the line to a domestic violence hotline, or least taking me to a therapist. I have always really liked my friend, but I'm starting to lose respect for him the longer he insists he wants to be with this girl. I don't know what to do. It seems silly to end a friendship over another person, but I'm at my wit's end with having to deal with her." Advise?

UPDATE and Questions of the Week

wtf — 2004-10-08T04:10:02-05:00

Tonight, in place of our live show, we've had to mix it up a bit. Why? Well, because that's our nature. AND? And because we don't want to interrupt the debate between John Kerry and George W. Bush. And? And because we're going to be away. And? And because where we're going we won't have the ability to broadcast. But? But, as we promised, we will have something for you. After the show, we will record our impressions of the debate and post them into our archives for you, our most beautifully coiffed, smartest dressed listeners. So keep coming back! And one more thing: This next Questions of the Week I will ask only one thing of you. Watch the debate and post your thoughts here. I want to talk about them next week. So answer the questions as soon as you think to (after the debate) or heck, respond while you're watching. Know we're watching too, you nice smelling people! Questions of the Week: While watching tonight's debate, what are your thoughts regarding Bush and his issues? While watching tonight's debate, what are your thoughts regarding Kerry and his issues?

TGIWTF (Thank God its WTF!)

That is what Nomad, Allaroundpsycho and Chilly usually say on Fridays. This Friday is very different. The trio will not be able to have a show at all for you. Reason being that we will be crossing America verticially. Our vacation comes to an end, but the trip home begins. Instead of flying, we are driving. This will be an adventure in and of itself!

I am sure you asking, "WTF, you aren't going to have a show.... how are you going to compensate?" Well, we were going to offer up our first born child, but instead found this great segment from when WTF was testing the show off-site. It is short, but it shows off why AAP is an important member of our show. Click here to download this short bit.

We look forward to our next live show, we really do miss bringing the show to everyone. Hopefully, the rest of you haven't discovered lives or anything on Friday nights and plan to hang with us!

Ready to GO!

wtf — 2004-10-22T09:10:34-05:00

You might remember that a couple weeks ago WTF was able to house more people due the wonderful help of M0ppy! Well, that is back again!

We should be able to house somewhere to 25 - 30 people before too much "rebuffering" happens. So tell you friends, families and enemies! Tell them to click here (right-click to download) to listen at 9pm (CST) on Fridays.

Questions Of The Week (Slightly Skewed)

wtf — 2004-11-01T08:11:42-05:00

In place of us asking you questions, we are asking you to ask questions of LaughWithMe. Her birthday is coming up and we are going to roast her!

Nomad has handed her Cherry Pickin' Powers to LaughWithMe. However, they are limited powers. She can only choose to NOT answer three.

So, for the next 5 days, you have the chance to ask questions of LaughWithMe. She in turn has to answer all of them (minus three, if she so chooses) by e-mailing them to us as wtfradio@charter.net.

We will read them on air.

Psst. LaughWithMe, you have until Friday night at 5PM (your time) to answer them. Ha~ave fu~un! LOL

Scroll Down

wtf — 2004-11-03T03:11:46-05:00

And ask questions of the birthday girl, LaughWithMe.

Personally, I want to use her as an 8-Ball, but hey, ask the questions you want to ask.

Get all the questions posted before Friday, so she has time to answer them (by e-mailing them to WTF).

But here's a warning, she does have limited magical powers~ she has the ability to NOT answer three questions. Oh, and AAP, Chilly and Nomad, you are also charged to ask questions of LaughWithMe.

Mwa ha ha ha ha ha~

Nov. 5, 2004: The Dessie Show (With Some Politcs And Other Fun)

wtf — 2004-11-06T10:11:53-05:00

Great Questions for LaughWithMe, everyone. I think she had fun. :) Here is a link to the Bad-Lib site I used.

At the bottom of the first hour we played some music off of a newly purchased CD called "La Luna" from Evan Christian's "Fuego". He playes guitar. And beautifully so. Here's a link to his site. Go buy a copy for yourself.

We broke out for political talk for a half hour. Here are some of the relevant links:
Shiny busted this out, here.
I referenced debate.com

A special thanks to our guest host, Ray. AAP was unable to be with us, so she filled in wonderfully. But she did say to me this morning that AAP has nothing to worry about. She's "happy to fill in..." but I get the impression she wouldn't want to do this regularly. *laughs*

She provided the closing lists.
Top five things to expect from Bush in his second term.
And top five Douglas Adams' quotes.
(I have to get the links from her.)

Just So You Know...

wtf — 2004-11-08T02:11:21-05:00

We are trying to get the show up from last Fri. SpyMac, the host we use to hold the archives was down.

Sad faces everyone.

Take heart, though! We will get them up, so that all of us may partake of the show that tried to embarass LaughWithMe.

Sorry

wtf — 2004-11-09T04:11:41-05:00

I am really sorry for the delay on the show. I am really hating spymac! Anyways, I believe the full show is up now. You can find it here. The segments are on their way later tonight.

M0ppy has offered up some server space to use, but I was mulling it over. I didn't want to bother someone else's server at the moment. I am probably going to have to talk with him to see if the offer is still available. It would really help speed this process up.

Again, really sorry.

Hi, all.
While Chilly and Nomad make a journey up north to visit family, AAP was left in charge of the show. This is what he came up with... a Thanksgiving clip show that highlights some of our best (and not so best) moments from the 5 months that WTF has been broadcasting. It features a "Questions of the Week", some other bits, some tunes, "The List", and all new pieces recorded by AAP to tie it all together. Download it here and hopefully it won't ruin your wonderful holiday weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

11/19 is finally up!

wtf — 2004-12-01T03:12:06-05:00

I am starting to hate audio! Lets just say that I needed to make a change the original audio file, but then found out that the program I use to record audio doesn't have the option to save as a MP3 file. After hours of messing around I finally got the program to have the mp3 saving option, but... It couldn't save the file because of the low bit-rate that we record at. Then I tried taking the MP3-turned-AIFF file into iTunes to make it a MP3 (again). After setting the settings I wanted, I converted. It worked, but sounded HORRIBLE! I couldn't put that version up.

Then, I basically gave up...

Well last night, Nomad asked me to get the file up... so I started messing around again. I figured out how to save as the right bit-rate MP3 from my program and all is good, but it still doesn't sound the best. I am sorry, but it is a LOT BETTER then you would have had.

Anyways, I will be trying something new this week. We are going to record our show at high-quality and then save it down for the net. Hopefully, that will sound better.

So if you are still reading all that, it must mean you want to listen to the show. You can download it right here.

Enjoy!

It's Ba~ack!

wtf — 2005-01-03T07:01:41-05:00

WTF Radio (RADio for those of you in the know) is uncurling from a two-week long hibernation. It practices its dormant voice with a jazzy rendition of "It's a Wonderful World", Louis Armstrong-style.

With its sleepy fingers it mouses along, scurrying from one blog to another, checking out the big, wide, new world of 2005. It seems unchanged but precious to the bleary-eyed WTF.

There will be some choppy bits for the next two weeks. As two of the three hosts are moving. Hopefully the transition will be painless for most of you, until then know we will be on this Friday, January 7th, 2005, 9PM CST.

As an offering, please check out this, a young filmmaker's blog here on MindSay. It should be interesting to watch and follow her along. How neat is all I can think.

WTF TONIGHT. dramatic music

wtf — 2005-02-04T02:02:48-05:00

For those of you who don't know, WTF is an online talk radio show that AAP, Chilly and Nomad made to share stories that we find interesting. We air the show every Friday night (9 PM CST) and it lasts two hours. The more shows we do the more we realize how quickly that time goes. Crammed into those two hours are bits like Questions of the Week, Movie News, Isn't That Geeky, Public Service Announcement (PSA), The List and so much more.

Here are brief descriptions of our bits:

Questions of the Week- Two questions are asked of our listeners and passersby of the blog. We read some, sometimes all of them on air. The only rule is that the first answer must be read on air, and that answer is called "Firsties!"
Movie News- Just as the name implies, Movie News contains news or rumors about movies.
Isn't That Geeky- 3/3 of the WTF-team are geeks in some form or another. When a story outgeeks us, we feel the need to air it and share it.
Public Service Announcement- Occasionally WTF wants to give back to the online community. Public Service Announcements or PSAs allow us to make announcements or make a call to arms to our fellow internet users/listeners. PSA's only requirement is that it help someone out.
The List- At the end of every show we find an interesting list online and read it on air. Usually humorous and usually found and read by AAP.

We are always open to suggestions, participation and of course, new listeners. You can contact us by e-mail at wtfradio@charter.net, IM us on Yahoo, iChat or AIM with the name wtfradioshow or leave a comment on the blog. If you have an idea for a segment, news story you would like us to cover or a question to suggest, we would love to hear from you.

Once Upon A Time

Eons ago, a wee little sound wave gathered its what-for and went a journeying.

Eventually that wee little sound wave found if it practiced restraint it could gain attention with its control and its ability to effectively communicate.

This isn't a story about that sound wave...

Season of Change

wtf — 2005-03-20T10:03:48-05:00

2 (Two) major updates to share with the WTF listeners; one good and the other bad.

Lets start with the bad.

The archives to the show are now offline. Spymac has deleted our accounts without warning. I am not excatly sure why Spymac did this, but I believe it is time to move on. Thank you Spymac for hosting our archives for so long and burn in hell for deleting our account without contacting us first. We are currently looking at other options to get our shows back on-line.

What this means in the interim is that we will only be having two WTF shows up on-line. The most "current" show and the the "most current show after that". If fact, we never had the 03/11/05 mp3 on-line. Listeners, your wait is over. Get both MP3s below.

03/11/05 show and 03/18/05 show.

The good news (actually great news) is that starting next week, the show is about to sound a lot better. Due to an amazing donation from MCLII, we now have a mixing board AND have it hooked up. The show sure sounds PUR-dee. Please, take a moment to visit MCLII's blog and thank him.

Also, thank you everyone who helped us tweak the show on Saturday night. It certainly helped us out. A big thanks goes out to Shiny for help with telephony. While it still isn't working, I know we are close.

There you have it. A pretty major update in the WTF legacy. Check us out this coming Friday and answer the Questions of the Week.

I never thought I would see the day.....

Ourmedia has our archives up on-line! I had actually stopped checking the process of these files when after 4 days the mp3s were not up. Today, on a whim, I checked and was floored to see that they are up and ready to download! Here is the quick and easy, just right-click on the dates and save the file to your computer:

April 1, 2005
April 8, 2005
April 15, 2005

I thought I had the April 22, 2005 show up, but I found out that I just uploaded the April 15th show up... twice! Oops! Trying to fix that now.

If anyone is curious about WTF's Ourmedia page, it can be found here. This will become a good place to find our past shows. From that page, you can see that I have uploaded the April 29, 2005, but it still isn't available at the moment. We can all keep checking back to find out when it becomes live.

Now, go forth good listener and hear what you have been missing!

New additions!

We'll see about getting newest blogger to MindSay and veteran WTF guest, Johnny5 on.

Special Edition

wtf — 2005-05-27T10:05:42-05:00

~~Tonight~~ Yesterday (Thursday) at midnight (cst), WTF will begin the loop of the songs and radio show they assembled just an hour ago. It will play on a continuous loop for at least 24 hours. If you miss a part, listen and it will replay amidst music hand-picked by the one and only Chilly. To listen, right click on this link.

We went this route because none of the regular hosts will be available this weekend for a live show due to family "things". We did however have enough hosts to record these segments on Thursday. Alas, minus the ever-popular AAP. We were able to snag the Johnny5 and his girlfriend, who has yet to have a name. For more on that, please read next week's Questions of the Week.

1.) What should be the name of the newest co-host, Johnny5's girlfriend? (To listen to the lovely Question Mark, tune in.

Hey, I just added an hour to my day. It sucks. I was sitting here, thinking it was almost 5PM and it was only 5 to 4:00PM. That totally blows chunks.

Anyway, read the previous entry to see what's playing on the preshow. (It's a very, very hot set, if we do say so ourselves.) Read further even before that, to answer Questions of the Week. You musn't forget those. They are also very sexy. Lastly, tune in tonight.

Be prepared to be dumbfounded by the greatness, in awe of the superbness, humbled by the- aw shit, I ran out of adjectives and ideas. Tune in.

wtf — 2005-07-30T02:07:29-05:00

Okay... it only took me little more then a year to figure it out.. DUH!!!

The broadcast program that we use has a great archive tool. Just click the button and the show is recorded. This archive file is then saved down in order for you folks at home to listen when you can't listen live. Well, here is what I never realized before. The archive saves the show as an MP3. A MP3 is a compressed audio file... then I use the already compressed file to save a lesser quality compressed file. That is why the archive sounds really crappy!!!

So this last Friday, I archived the show as a raw AIFF file... I then encoded it as a MP3 from that... MUCH MUCH BETTER!!! I wish I would have been doing this all along!

Anyways, here it is folks.

July 29, 2005 - The much better sounding archive!

Ladies & Gentlemen

wtf — 2005-08-05T01:08:20-05:00

WTF Radio is going PG. PG for one night, at least. Tune in tonight to witness the trainwre- er... wonderment that is a cleaned-up show. Much like a tire that has been washed we begin to wonder "was it worth it"? You tell us.

For the playlist of the preshow- here you go.

Small Wonder
Dukes of Hazard
GI Joe
ThunderCats
Jem
Mama's Family
Jeopardy!
Welcome Back, Kotter

... do you ever get the feeling that you're leg is being pulled?

Smurfs
He-Man

... do you?

Alf
Quantum Leap
X-Files

... I know I do.

All In The Family
Facts of Life

It is that time again.

wtf — 2005-08-05T08:08:32-05:00

As you can see by the previous post... WTF must have been hacked!! There is no way that WTF would play those shows as our pre-show. Hmpf!

So in order to promote our PG(ish) show, why not play "The New Pornographers"!

::crickets chrip::

Oh now STOP!!! The Barenaked Ladies aren't dirty... it is just a name! I think the Herpies play classical music.

So why is WTF playing TNP? Well, they have a new CD coming out at the end of this month and I (Chilly) am pretty excited to hear it. So here is the tracklist for tonight:

1. The Electric Version
2. The Fake Headlines
3. The End of Medicine
4. Letter From An Occupant
5. The Laws have Changed

I should've called it "Songs that begin with 'The'", but #4 destroyed that plan... Why couldn't it have been "THE Letter From An Occupant"?

Here comes the all important information... how do you listent to show? Don't worry, this will be painless... just right-click this link and save target to disk (or download link). Once you have saved that file, open it in your favorite audio streaming program. 9:00 pm is when the show begins, but check in at 8:44 (and 33 seconds) to hear the pre-show.

WTF Preshow - Monkey Mix

wtf — 2005-08-12T10:08:50-05:00

Earlier this week, friend of the show, mclii , made a post where he listed a 'monkey mix' of songs. Having barely enough creativity to get through a 2 hour radio show, WTF decided to ride the monkey wave and use this amazing idea for the preshow this week.

Tune in around 8:35 PM CDT to listen to WTF's Monkey Mix. And make sure you tune in at 9 PM CDT to listen to the show if, you know, you have something against sweet little monkeys.

Grease Paint and Monkey Brains - White Zombie
Proudest Monkey - Dave Matthews Band
Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters
Brass Monkey - The Beastie Boys
Monkey Gone to Heaven - Pixies
Shock the Monkey - Peter Gabriel

The show starts soon...

WTF Preshow - Saucy Monky

wtf — 2005-08-19T08:08:33-05:00

Last week we had a monkey mix, and while we don't have another batch of monkey songs for you, we can come close. WTF Radio presents Saucy Monky.

Saucy Monky is a pop-rock foursome led by two gals that met when they were double-booked for solo shows at a small club. They hung out, played together, and formed the band. They write all the music, sing the lyrics, and play the guitars. And that's where this music shines. For pop-rock, there's some great guitar work in these songs. They wrote some great stuff, came up with some incredible sounds, and had a producer that could capture it all on their debut record, Turbulence.

Tune in at around 8:40 CDT and catch yourself some Saucy Monky. I'll take mine extra saucy.

Disco Ball
Solid Ground
I Touch Myself
Everyday Lover
Turbulence
Speedball

WTF Preshow presents The New Pornographers

wtf — 2005-08-26T08:08:05-05:00

There is porn all over the internet, there might as well be some of it on WTF. Tonight's preshow is a sampling of songs that can be heard on Twin Cinema, the brand new release from The New Pornographers (TNPs). TNPs are an infectious blend of pop-rock that is most reminiscent of 70s pop-rock. They are sometimes hard to describe. No matter how you eventually choose to explain them, you can't deny their grasp of melody. These songs are really catchy and have gotten stuck in the heads of many who listen.

The vocals are just as catchy, with rising alt-country star Neko Case providing lead and backing vocals. Even when she's not at the mic, the boys in the group have a sound that is impossible to ignore.

Please tune in around 8:35 CDT time and listen to this selection of songs from Twin Cinema, the third release from The New Pornographers.

Twin Cinema
The Jessica Numbers
The Bleeding Heart Show
These are the Fables
Star Bodies
Streets of Fire

WTF Preshow - Ok Go - Oh No

wtf — 2005-09-02T08:09:11-05:00

WTF likes Ok Go. Ok Go likes WTF. Okay, maybe that second part is a stretch. When the WTF crew met with the members of Ok Go, they told us what we were doing was "cool", but they have yet to actually hear one of our broadcasts. Anyway... Ok Go is awesome. On Tuesdsay of this week, Ok Go's sophomore CD, "Oh No", was released into the wild. In celebration of this, WTF presents a first in honor of Ok Go. We will be playing the new CD, in its entirety, before the show tonight.

Listen along to the whole thing staring around 8:20 PM CDT. Then run to the store and buy your own copy. No, wait. Listen to WTF first. You can go buy a copy of it on Saturday morning.

One more thing... before we give you the track list, here's that super-cool video of Ok Go dancing to "A Million Ways", one of the songs on the new CD. This video gets better every time I watch it.

Get them and love them.

#6 Combo

wtf — 2005-09-09T09:09:33-05:00

Isn't it great when AAP puts the pre-show up really eariler so you know what music to expect? Yeah... I like that too! Too bad you get me huh?

Here is Chilly's choice for the Pre-show.

The Concretes

I ab-so-friggin'-loot-lee LOVE this band, but funny how I don't have their new CD. So even though I don't have the new material... What better way to whet your appetite then to hear their older CD. In fact, you might know the last song on the list from a Target advertisment.... oh wait.. forget I said that.

1. You Can't Hurry Love
2. Lonely As Can Be
3. Diana Ross
4. Seems Fine
5. Foreign Country
6. Say Something New

Also, when AAP is in studio, you would find the Pre-show post seperate from the "How to listen" Post. Not today. You get a combo meal. I would Super-Size it, but that would require big type. AAP runs from big type and we want him on the show.

How to listen.

Open your damn ears! And... right-click this link (save target file or download link or whatever your browser says) and open the file in your favorite streaming audio program. Do this at 8:42:58 pm to hear the Pre-Show, but make sure you do it by 9:00 pm to hear the WTF goodness.

Aren't donkeys cool?

Questions Of The Week

wtf — 2005-09-10T12:09:51-05:00

1.) What would you want as your last meal?

2.) If you want to be "WTF Cop" explain why. (We in no way condone the appointment of "WTF Cop", but what the fuck.)

WTF Preshow

wtf — 2005-09-16T08:09:20-05:00

Earlier this week, AAP announced he was going to marry a song. It is only right that we introduce our faithful listeners to his soon-to-be bride. And as long as we have her here, we might as well introduce her bridesmaids. Enjoy these songs from The Kills tonight before WTF is beamed live across the globe.

While I (Chilly) may not be at work today, I have been working on the daunting task of picking the Pre-Show that will be played before WTF. Don't feel sorry for me having to "work" on my day off, just show your support by listening. :)

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club:

1. Still Suspicion Holds You Tight
2. Shuggle Your Feet
3. Complication Situation
4. Weight of the World
5. Ain't No Easy Way

BRMC is band that I just heard about recently... Since I can't seem to find a way to describe them myself, here is a description from USA Today:

"...Instead, the band excavates the pure veins of gospel, blues and country, plowing them into dark and soulful rock with recurring themes of redemption and defeat..."

This rock ROCKS! Tune in!

PS... get your mouse down to the previous post to answer Questions of the Week if you haven't already.

Here comes the show... da duh da da.

wtf — 2005-09-23T09:09:55-05:00

Because of a certain movie (Serenity) coming out on Sept. 30- this Friday- and we're going to be there, WTF will not broadcast Friday night.

Instead, we're going to broadcast it on Saturday. This may make us more available for some and less available to others, so please spread the word. More details on the time will follow.

(Personally, this is Nomad by the way, I want it to be during the day. Like around Noon or 3PM or even 5PM- Central time. But we'll see once it's discussed with AAP and Chilly.)

Don't forget to answer Questions of the Week! No matter the time, we'll be sure to archive it for everyone.

wtf — 2005-10-07T08:10:26-05:00

For this lovely Friday night, you can tune in earlier to WTF to hear The Magic Numbers.

Nomad and I (Chilly) have really been digging this band. They are classified as indie/pop, but don't let the "pop" part scare you. This 2 pair of siblings really know how to make some music. Here are the tracks I'll be sharing:

1. The Mule
2. Don't Give Up The Fight
3. Love Me Like You
4. Mornings Eleven (Editors Note: I LOVE this song!)

So come and check out the great tunes at 8:41:28 pm (CST).

Good question, the answer is Kasabian. These guys are pretty cool! I heard of them a couple months ago and I was shocked to hear one of their songs playing on an season 4 episode of Smallville. They are rock with a slight middle eastern sound. Here is the set list:

1. Processed Beats
2. L.S.F.
3. Club Foot
4. Reason is Treason

At 9:00 pm (CST) is when the magic of WTF happens. Don't miss it!

PS.. You may also be wonder where the last archives are? Well, I have them and most of them are uploaded... just not linked. I (Chilly) will try to get them up this weekend... but I just got Doom 3. I'm not promising ANYTHING! :P

Questions Of The Week

wtf — 2005-10-15T12:10:08-05:00

1.) If you were outside, and saw an endangered animal eating an endangered plant, what would you do? And for arguments sake, this animal is mean and won't stop eating it just by "shooing" it away. In fact, it may charge you and maul or stomp you to death if you attempt to simply "shoo" it away. Lets also say you have a 30-06 rifle. And by the way, simply firing over the head of this animal isn't going to do anything. It likes the feel of bullets rushing by and won't move.

2.) What question would you ask us, the WTF hosts?

The requested archive list!

wtf — 2005-10-17T10:10:56-05:00

WTF Preshow - Guided By Voices

Tonight's preshow comes from one of the better, yet most unknown alternative bands of all time - Guided By Voices. After 20 years as a group, GBV broke up last year after releasing an album that frontman Robert Pollard claimed was an album he was finally happy with. They played their final show on New Years Eve 2004, a 63-song attack of music, which is now available on DVD as the aptly titled The Electrifying Conclusion. Enjoy yourself some Guided by Voices.

Push 'em back, push 'em back... WAAAAY BACK!

wtf — 2005-12-01T10:12:19-05:00

Due to the Holiday Season, WTF has to be pushed back. The WTF crew will not be doing a live show on Friday night, but will instead do a Sunday afternoon show at 3:00 pm (CST). To re-state:

The upcoming WTF show will be on Sunday, December 4th at 3:00 pm (CST). We will continue our Friday night shows on December 9th.

Now, if you can't go without your fix of WTF on Friday, we will playing WTF's first show in which all three of the WTF hosts were together (It is actually WTFs 3rd show, but AAP was a late start.) AND we will be playing the October 21, 2005 show which was our 3 hour talking spree.

I will have to get that started Friday morning, so tune in anytime ntomorrow to get your fix. I'll provide a link once things are streaming.

We now return you to your regular scheduled blog.

Giving gifts early

wtf — 2005-12-02T12:12:37-05:00

WTF will not be having a regular Friday Night show. Our live broadcast will be on Sunday afternoon at 3PM (CST). I hope you can tune in.

Lets say you are feeling lonely tonight because the crew won't be there to talk to you... We know how to fix that! There are two shows that are ready for on-demand streaming. You can listen to WTFs third show ever, but the first show with all three hosts you know and love. Just download this file and open it in your favorite streaming audio program. Since this show was so early in the WTF history, the quality isn't the best. You might have to turn up your speakers a little louder.

October 21, 2005 was a big Friday night because it was a 3 hour show. This is also a very entertaining show because I believe WE were asked questions this time around. To listen, just download this file to your computer and open it in your favorite streaming audio program.

Remember the two files above are NOT actual downloads, but streaming audio files. Although, for you offline listeners we have a special treat as well! The archives are working again!

WTF Preshow - Charlotte Martin - Veins

wtf — 2005-12-09T08:12:24-05:00

Tonight's WTF Preshow features the new EP from Charlotte Martin, entitled "Veins". Charlotte is a jack-of-all-trades in the music industry, writing, singing, producing, and playing instruments on all of her songs. She's also extremely loyal to her fans, having passed on large record contracts because she had already promised EPs to her fans; EPs that would have to be cancelled to work on the contract. She now has a lucrative deal with RCA that allows her to put out full-scale commercial releases, as well as smaller productions just for her fans. "Veins" is her most recent EP.

Before the show tune into to hear Clap Your Hand Say Yeah. Okay, I admit that the lead singers vocals are a bit strange, but...

1. Let The Cool Goddess Rust Away

WTF Preshow - Mandi Perkins

wtf — 2006-01-06T08:01:06-05:00

She looks like all of the other pop starlets out there in today's popular music, but that's about where the comparisons end. If you think she sounds like the other pop gals out there, you aren't listening close enough. Mandi Perkins has talent beyond many of them combined, yet she hasn't quite hit it big yet. Why? She's doing it her way. A slight alternative edge and a reluctance to always do what a record company wants has kept her from hitting the big time, but has also kept her very true to herself and her music.

Tune in at 8:40 PM tonight to listen to Mandi Perkin's debut EP, Broken Window.

1.) Where was the last place you vacationed?

2.) Would you prosecute your father if you knew that he had done something wrong? (Thanks to drunknphilosphr for this question. He also had this to say about WTF: "You live in my iPod now....you go grocery shopping in Naples with me...I listen to Nomad ~~whole~~ while buying ice cream")

You should also check out the entry on Garth Sparkles and perhaps submit an entry for the contest (- the deadline is 1/19/06 at midnight.)

WTF Preshow - Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

wtf — 2006-01-20T08:01:30-05:00

With the release of Rumours in 1977, ~~Fleedwood~~ Fleetwood (thanks SquirrelPrincess!) Mac guaranteed their place in music history as one of the best rock acts of all time. There is no filler on this record. Beautiful love songs, classic rock anthems, and catchy pop hooks keep you listening from the first note of "The Chain" to the last haunting sound of "Gold Dust Woman". It's hard to believe that such a well-crafted and tight album came from a band that was practically destroying itself during its recording.

Tune in to WTF Radio at 8:42 PM CDT to catch the following selection of songs from Fleetwood Mac's Rumours.

Second Hand News
Don't Stop
Go Your Own Way
Gold Dust Woman

Last week, Chilly never put the link up to the mp3 for Jan. 13 show. It was (and is) available on iTunes, but no link ever made it here on mindsay. Lets take care of that.

WTF Preshow - Audioslave

wtf — 2006-01-27T08:01:20-05:00

Wow. Last week's preshow never even got a chance to air and it was still generally disliked by listeners and hosts alike. Sweet. Let's see if we can get some universal hate going for this week's preshow. Next up, Jm J. Bullock offers cover versions of Kajagoogoo songs.

I'm kidding. I almost wish I wasn't. Anyway, for this week's preshow, WTF is aiming to blow the roof off the dump with tracks from Out of Exile the most recent offering from Audioslave. Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT to have your world rocked.

Out of Exile

2/3/2006 WTF Prehshow

wtf — 2006-02-03T08:02:54-05:00

What's the pattern with the songs below? Have you spotted it? It's really quite simple, but random and not something that most radio stations would do. Well, we aren't most radio stations. Tonight's WTF Preshow features songs from female singers where there is a number in the name of the song title. As non-traditional radio as that is, it also features a song from the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack, a song that I don't think the producer of that record even bothered listening to.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT tonight to hear one of the more unusually themed WTF preshows.

#1 Must Have - Sleater-Kinney
5 O'Clock in the Morning - The Donnas
2 Far - Shivaree
3 Small Words - Josie and the Pussycats?!?!
2.99 Cent Blues - Regina Spektor
5 1/2 Minute Hallway - Poe

Blow It Out Your Ass It's The WTF Preshow!

wtf — 2006-02-17T08:02:15-05:00

In 1996, Veruca Salt released a very limited number of a 4-song EP named, Blow It Out Your Ass It's Veruca Salt. It received no airplay, yet sold out as Veruca Salt fans picked up every last copy. With there being no plans to manufacture any more copies of the CD, it has become quite rare, with used copies running upwards of $25 online and brand new copies around $60. Tonight WTF Radio will play all 4 songs off of this rather rare collection of songs. For the record, this is the original band lineup with Nina Gordon. Also for the record, these songs are ripped directly from an original copy of the EP that is owned by the WTF crew.

Shimmer Like a Girl
I'm Taking Europe With Me

WTF Preshow - Milwaukee Rocks

wtf — 2006-02-24T08:02:58-05:00

WTF Radio is based in Wisconsin. This week's preshow will pay tribute to the largest city in WTF's home state by playing original music from Milwaukee-based bands. A few of these groups you'll never hear from again as they've split up. A few of these groups are still clawing their way through the music industry, hoping to be on your radio some day. Either way, this is just a taste of the local music that flows through Brew-town.

"Suck You Dry" - 18 Shakes
"She's Gone" - Binky Tunny and the Farmland Chokehold
"Desperate" - Framing Amy
"Ode" - All Envy Aside
"Smile" - The Gufs

Note 1: All Envy Aside has been featured on WTF Preshow before as the band Envy. Just in case you are keeping score at home.

WTF Preshow

wtf — 2006-03-03T07:03:16-05:00

WTF's preshow is inspired by the movie Magnolia (one of Chilly's all-time favorite movies.) It is a movie where the music isn't just used to create tension or set a mood. The music is in fact a very important "character" (if you will) to the movie. Paul Thomas Anderson had said that his movie is an adaption of Aimee Mann's songs.

In honor of the Oscars and in the honor of good freakin' films. Enjoy some Aimee Mann

1. Save Me
2. Deathly
3. Momentum
4. One

2.) If you could eliminate one hereditary characteristic from your family, what would it be?

2.) If you could, in retrospect, have purchased a large quantity of stock the day it was first issued, which one would it have been?

WTF Preshow - Ben Folds Five

wtf — 2006-03-17T07:03:49-05:00

Tomorrow is the 9-year anniversary of the release of Whatever and Ever Amen by Ben Folds Five. I thought it was the 10-year anniversary, but I was wrong. By the time I realized my error, I was already too excited to play this music, so we are just going to have to celebrate the 9-year. The song "Brick" was a hit in 1997. It's the song that almost everyone thinks of when they hear the words "Ben Folds Five". And as good as that song is, the rest of the songs on the CD are as good and in some cases better. This is a wonderful collection of piano-based alternative rock. I think I need to stress the words "piano" and "rock". While Tori Amos and other artists did piano-based alternative rock, the emphasis on their music wasn't necessarily on rocking the piano. Ben Folds rocks the piano.

WTF Preshow - Goldfrapp

wtf — 2006-03-24T08:03:53-05:00

How do I describe Goldfrapp? I've spent the past few days trying to figure out just how to do that. I tried to put them into a genre all I can come up with is Alternative Disco Pop. I know that's not a known genre. That's why this has been challenging so far.

I hadn't heard of Goldfrapp until Monday when I read two separate reviews and both of them hailed the greatness of the new Goldfrapp album. While this is not my normal taste in music, I can't ignore two glowing reviews. In a never-ending search for new music, you can't. And that's where WTF comes in. We purchased the CD and are now prepared to give you a small sampling of Goldfrapp. Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT to listen to the following tracks from Goldfrapp's new CD, Supernature.

WTF Preshow: Use Your Illusion: The Longs

wtf — 2006-03-31T08:03:27-05:00

15 years ago Guns N' Roses released Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II. While reviews were generally positive, the overall consensus was that this should have only been 1 album. Critics and fans believed there was just a bit too much filler on these discs. Either responding to this criticism or just wanting to make some money off of a dormant band (probably the latter), the record company stripped the filler off of the set and released a single disc, Use Your Illusion in 1998. Many fans ended up being disappointed with this compilation as well, mostly noting many stand-out tracks that didn't make the cut, but also upset with some of the lackluster ones that did.

I tried myself to pick one album's worth of material culled from the two Illusions and make my own single album. What filler would I strip away? The albums are known for some of their epic songs, with 5 songs clocking in at over 7 minutes long. Of those 5, I needed 4 of them on my compilation. I had a whole CD worth of material right there and I hadn't even looked at 25 of the tracks. I then decided I'd have to make two compilations; one that has the long songs, the epics if you will, and one that has the shorter, more standard rock tunes.

Tune in around 8:25 PM CDT tonight as WTF Radio presents Use Your Illusion: The Longs. This is part 1 of a two part WTF Preshow. Next week, as would make sense, we'll be presenting to you some of the shorter tracks from the Illusion set.

WTF Preshow: Use Your Illusion: The Shorts

Part II:

Tune in around 8:35 PM CDT tonight as WTF Radio presents Use Your Illusion: The Shorts. This is the second and final part of a two part WTF Preshow. These are the shorter songs, the ones that had a better chance of being played on radio and becoming "hits". Of course, November Rain had to come along and throw all that out the window. Still, 3 of these songs were released as singles in the 2+ years that GNR promoted this album... and the other 3 make me smile. Join us and smile, too.

WTF Preshow - Show Your Bones

wtf — 2006-04-14T12:04:57-05:00

3 years ago the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released Fever to Tell, a 40 minute attack of noise, screeching guitars, and screeching vocals. It was a masterpiece. How could the Yeah Yeah Yeahs follow up an album that is party responsible for a return to rock music on popular radio?

By creating one of the tighest sounding rock albums in recent history, but doing it without sacrificing the listerner's feeling that total chaos could break out at any moment. Show Your Bones may be a little more structured and a little more polished, but it's anything but a sell-out. It's just a more mature YYYs, with a side of anarchy.

WTF Pre-Show - The Shiny Mash!

wtf — 2006-04-21T06:04:43-05:00

In honor of shiny's birthday, WTF is giving him the opportunity to program the pre-show just this once. We hope you enjoy it. (Apologies for posting this so late)

"Mash-ups" are a new genre of expression: music which simply combines large portions of already existing music and audio clips to form something new and original. Some of these are sanctioned by the artists whose music is used; many are not. Because of this, the Internet has become an important conduit for artists to post their own mash-ups for the world to enjoy.

Here are four of them which I (Shiny) find to be quite creative. Tune in at 8:40pm CDT -- and enjoy!

* Let It Beast - djBC (Beatles vs. Beastie Boys)
djBC mixes quite a few of these under the title "The Beastles."

* Wrapped Detective - Go Home Productions (Elvis Costello vs. The Police vs. Lionel Richie vs. Peggy Lee vs. others)

* No One Takes Your Freedom - DJ Earworm (Scissor Sisters vs. The Beatles vs. Aretha Franklin vs. George Michael)
Possibly my favorite mash-up ever. Particularly well-crafted.

* Crazy Tonight = Strong Teeth - Kleptones (Beyonce vs. Genesis vs. Nine Inch Nails)

Oh -- and please, please, please, please, please answer the Questions of the Week.

wtf — 2006-04-22T12:04:04-05:00

1.) What was your most recent favorite gift?

2.) If you couldn't have your parents, who would you wish were your parents?

Louis XIV

wtf — 2006-04-28T08:04:21-05:00

As you probably have correctly guessed, the pre-show is in Chilly's hands. I was really racking my head on what music to play. While I'm pretty certain that I already have played some Louis XIV, I figured a little more isn't going to cause harm... in fact, it should incite some fun.

Louis isn't interested in political correctness. A good majority of the songs on the CD are about trying to score with hot women. Despite the use 'em and leave 'em behavior, the rock is simply good time. No need to call anyone, WTF brings it to you.

Here is what you will hear starting at 8:41 pm (and 21 seconds!)

1. Louis XIV
2. All the Little Pieces
3. Paper Doll
4. A Letter To Dominique
5. Finding Out True Love Is Blind

The show starts at 9:00 pm (CDT.. I don't think it is CST anymore.. oops.) Just right-click this link and download the target to your computer. Open the tastey link in your favorite streaming audio program to hear the show.

WTF Preshow - Pearl Jam

wtf — 2006-05-12T10:05:23-05:00

It's been 4 years since Riot Act came out, a record that Pearl Jam admitted almost never happened because they almost "retired" the band. Not only are they still going today, but they are going strong. Their eponymous new release shows that while Riot Act may have started the riot, they are in the thick of it right now.

There are many things that have been said about the new Pearl Jam album in regards to politics and current events. It's no secret that the album takes some scathing jabs at the current administration and the war in Iraq. But the bottom line with music is whether or not you enjoy listening to it. Some political albums fail commercially, while others like Green Day's American Idiot succeed tremendously because of the power of the music. The music is certainly strong on the new release. As Rolling Stone magazine said, the new Pearl Jam has the strongest opening since their debut album, Ten.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT tonight as WTF Radio presents that strong opening; the first five songs off of Pearl Jam.

Follow This Rabbit- PreShow And Show-Show

wtf — 2006-05-19T09:05:56-05:00

So, I've (me, Nomad and a multitude of others, I'm sure) have been listening to the really cool TheRuckus. created by our very own, TheRacket. Well, not our very own but our, as in MindSay's very own... anyway....

He played something by Angry Red Planet that had me intrigued so I followed the white rabbit... I mean, the link, he provided (which I'm too lazy to link right now... maybe later... maybe not) and it took me to her MySpace page. I really liked a song, mostly because of the song's title, called "I wish I was a boy". While listening to it, it cut off in an awkward spot so I decided to go to the source TheRacket must have gotten it from, The Podsafe Music Network.

Long story, shortened here, I registered WTF Radio there and started downloading songs for the preshow. ('Cuz I'm picking the songs, baby!) and ended up with a slight story.

Here are the songs I've picked for the PreShow. The cool thing about these is I can use them during the show too. And because SocKs and Shiny aren't on- we may need them to lengthen the show.

Here are the songs which we'll begin playing at 8:36:11 PM Central

Love - 360
Married a Magician - Dust Poets
Love Nazi - Alamantra
Get Back In the Kitchen - Cocknoose
Ain't Divorce Grand? - Lisa Bell (This one is very fast. Must have been uploaded strangely- but it sort of makes it...)

WTF Preshow - Bree Sharp

wtf — 2006-06-02T09:06:12-05:00

In 1999, Bree Sharp had a moment of pop culture cultdum with the release of her CD A Cheap and Evil Girl, featuring the song "David Duchovny", in which she professes her love for David Duchovny. Not only silly and fun, the song showed that Bree had some real talent when it came to writing songs. Unfortunately, the rest of the world didn't quite notice and she lost her major record label support in 2001 during a major upheavel in the record industry. While not the same label, other artists that lost contracts during this time were Poe, Collective Soul, and Tori Amos. Like any artist, this wasn't going to stop Bree.

In 2002 she independantly released her sophomore record, More B.S. As good as the first record was, More B.S. shows just how incredible of a song writer she is. Again, the record was mostly ignored by listeners, despite featuring an amazing cover of "The Boys of Summer".

Currently, Bree spends her professional time playing small clubs, working on her 3rd record of new material, and writing for several Saturday morning cartoons. Her most recent release, Live at Fez, is a live disc featuring mostly acoustic versions of the songs on her two studio-produced albums. Thanks to technology and the internet, you can get all the CDs from this lesser-known artist with no major label support at Amazon.com.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT tonight as WTF Radio presents songs from Bree Sharp's second CD, More B.S..

WTF iTunes issue

I have no idea what is wrong with iTunes at the moment. I have checked the xml file and doubled-checked the links in the xml file. As much as I consider myself a geek (Chilly), I must also state that I don't completely understand how the whole RSS and XML thing really works.

WTF Preshow - The Sounds

wtf — 2006-06-09T08:06:29-05:00

From a tiny town in Sweden comes the pop-punk sounds of... The Sounds. A few years ago their debut album got them some major attention in the US from some big names, including Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and several late-night talk show hosts. TV appearances and opening slots on major tours followed. Despite this major celebrity backing, The Sounds didn't quite take off on this side of the pond.

But with the confidence of a band that has sold millions of records over a 20-year career, The Sounds are back and are once again ready to show America just how good they are. Dying to Say This to You, their sophomore release, shows that they really have that pop-punk sound down. Maja holds nothing back in her vocals, whether she's yelling at you to get off your ass or cooing lovingly. They do pop. They do punk. They do pop-punk. They do it all well. The Sounds are a sound that you should check out.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT tonight as WTF Radio presents songs from The Sound's second CD, Dying to Say This To You.

WTF Preshow: Song Mechanics - The Sing-Along Ending

wtf — 2006-06-16T08:06:37-05:00

If you are someone who sings along with their favorite songs in the car or just on your own in the shower, one of the real treats of a song is the sing-along ending. This is the part that sticks in your head for years to come. It's the part that often gets you and all your friends to burst into song in public, not caring so much who notices.

Whether it's just a bunch of "na na"s, a repeat of the chorus, or one final lyric that ties the song together like a rug can really tie a room together, it's the spirit of the moment that gets you into it. Sometimes the entire band sings along while other times the lead singer's voice will be shifted and played on top of itself to add layers. Sometimes the sing along-goes on for a few minutes and sometimes it's just 20 seconds. It really doesn't matter. At this point in the song you want to sing along; you need to sing along. Anything to be a part of this great feeling that's making it's way into your ears.

Tonight, WTF presents you with four songs that have some great sing-along endings. The first one is arguably the most famous sing-along ending in the history of popular music. The other three are a bit lesser known, with two of them just being released in the last year. So sing-along and get into the music. We will be.

WTF Preshow - Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope - Side 1

wtf — 2006-06-23T08:06:18-05:00

In recent years, the music industry has started trying different tactics to get consumers to purchase music instead of illegally downloading tunes. Some recent releases have come with DVDs of outtakes, concert footage, and music videos. Another recent trend has been to stream the entire CD online for free for a week or two before the official release. While you aren't getting anything additional by purchasing the real CD with this tactic, it's being done to get that music in your head and you feel you need the music before it'll become available on illegal download sites, leading you to purchase it.

Regina Spektor is a little-known artist who has just released her second major-label album. To promote her new CD, the record company decided to give away free copies of the "Side 1" of the CD at some music retailers in the weeks leading up to the official release. The "Side 1" EP contained the first half of the final CD - a full 6 songs. While I didn't get a copy of the "Side 1" EP prior to the official release, I was lucky enough to get one shrink-wrapped with my purchase of the full CD. There was a little piece of paper that encouraged me to give the "Side 1" EP to a friend to help spread the music of Regina Spektor. On the back of the "Side 1" EP was a little note from Regina that I think does a better job of explaining what this bonus CD was. Here's her note...

Once upon a time people made records. Side 1 would spin around and around. Just a few songs, but many thoughts and feelings. I made a little record called "Begin to Hope". It's coming out June 13, 2006. That's soon. This is my Side 1. Happily ever after.

-regina

I'm supposed to give "Side 1" to a friend. It's nice that WTF has a bunch of friends, as evidenced by our profile page. Why give the CD to a single friend when I can give it to 10, 20, or even 84 friends? Tonight, WTF presents Side 1 of Regina Spektor's new CD, Begin to Hope.

WTF Preshow Exclusive - Goldenhorse

wtf — 2006-07-07T08:07:53-05:00

A few years ago I (AAP) was searching around the internet for new music. One of my favorite places to do this is within the forums of other artists that I like. If someone really likes an artist that I really like, I am pretty willing to try listening to another artist that they like. I've been introduced to so much great music using this method. This is how I stumbled upon Goldenhorse.

It was almost two years ago that I hunting around the Poe message board at sometime near 3 AM while laying on the couch of the other WTF hosts. One of the other forum users recommended that folks check out the band Goldenhorse, but that it might be difficult finding their music outside of Australia, as the band is based in New Zealand. Really? Whatever. This is the age of the internet and I'll find that music. The official website was easy enough to find and a stream of a video from their CD was available. Not far into the song and I was hooked. Time to get a copy of this CD. Their site stated that there was no overseas distribution deals in place, but there were some Australian sites that would ship to the US. Yeah, the'd ship to the US; for about $40 a disc. I looked for legal downloads but alas, none were to be found.

Fast-forward to the present day. A co-worker of mine gets transferred to Australia. After allowing her to get settled, I hit her up for the CDs. She finds them, purchases them for me, but then apologizes because they weren't cheap. "I spent $40 for them!" $40? That's what I could have paid to get them imported. She then went on to explain that she spent $20 a piece and got them both for $40. Score! This amazing alternative-pop music was on it's way to me. It was a long wait, but here comes the payoff.

Tune in tonight around 8:15 PM CDT to catch Goldenhorse's entire debut CD, Riverhead. Seeing that it was so difficult to get this thing to the US and I don't know of any other place you can listen to it, we are playing the entire disc. It's a WTF Exclusive music event! Of course, if our Australian listeners want to hear some Goldenhorse, they can just go turn on the regular radio.

WTF Preshow Presents Charlotte Martin - The Stromata EP

wtf — 2006-07-14T08:07:33-05:00

We've played her on the preshow before. AAP has blogged about her recently. And now it is your chance to hear her yet again as WTF Rado presents Charlotte Martin's new EP, The Stromata EP (plus bonus!).

After settling with RCA records and dropping her first full-length album, On Your Shore, in 2004, Charlotte has moved to Dinosaur Fight records to continue releasing her music. Her first full record on the new label is entitled Stromata and will be released on September 12th, 2006. To promote the release of Stromata, Char has offered a limited edition EP that is available at many online music retailers. The EP, which we will be playing tonight, contains the title track "Stromata", as well as 2 exclusive bonus tracks that will not be on the final album.

To round out the set and add just a little bit more of a feeling of exclusivity, we will be playing one more song that hasn't been featured on a major Charlotte release. The song "Raven (Noodle Mix)" is a tune that is much-loved by Char's fans, despite only being released on the very limited edition Test-Drive Songs EP. While only a few hundred copies of this CD were pressed and it became very hard to find for many years, you can now find all of the tracks, including "Raven", up at iTunes.

Tune in tonight around 8:45 PM CDT to check out Charlotte Martin's new songs from The Stromata EP.

WTF Preshow - Alternative Classic - Little Earthquakes

wtf — 2006-07-21T08:07:18-05:00

In a very strange move given the current landscape of commercial radio, a Milwaukee radio station has changed to a completely alternative format. 102.1, which was the premiere alternative station in southeastern Wisconsin for most of the 90s, dropped the format late in the decade and went to hard rock (read: pop rock) to compete with other stations. Gone was a station that would play Dave Matthews Band. Gone was a station that would play Bjork. Gone was a station that would play The Pixies.

For whatever reason, last summer 102.1 threw out their rock format and went back to alternative. I'm not sure if they are making any money, like they surely did in 1994, but you can now turn on the radio in Milwaukee and hear Talking Heads. Or Porno for Pyros. Or Tori Amos.

And that brings us to tonight's preshow; songs from Tori Amos' debut album, Little Earthquakes. This was a landmark CD in that it really helped define just what "alternative" meant. Up until this album was released, alternative meant heavy guitars with lots of feedback and dark, murky lyrics. Of course, this music was made by grungy guys with long, unwashed hair, torn jeans, and flannel shirts. But then along came a woman who rocked on her piano. Who was quite clean and well kept. She sang intelligently and passionately about religion, adolescence, and rape; a far cry from other women on the radio at the time that just sang about always wanting to "be with my baby". She was an alternative to anything else you could hear on the radio. And she was one of the first signs of just what alternative could be; an alternative to what normally is popular music.

Tune in tonight around 8:35 PM CDT as we play several selections from Tori Amos' sensational debut album, Little Earthquakes.

WTF Preshow - Bush (not the president, you silly nilly)

wtf — 2006-07-28T08:07:25-05:00

Independant alternative radio continues to attempt to make a comeback in the Milwaukee area. Whether it's working or not, the inspiration to dig through all my CDs and find the ones that spun endlessly in my college dorm room over 10 years ago has been strong. This week, that hunt gives us Bush's Sixteen Stone.

The album was released in 1994 and delivered hit after hit after hit for the next 2 years. For a period of time, it was next to impossible to not hear "Everything Zen" on the radio or blasting out of someone's car as they drove down the street. This band had hit big, hit strong, and were poised to carry alternative music into the late 90s as the heir apparent of Nirvana.

Yeah... that didn't happen so much. The second CD, while having some good songs of it's own, just didn't connect with listeners nearly the way the first one did. And it didn't help that the landscape of radio was changing. More pop-friendly "alternative" music was hitting big. Alanis Morrisette and Live were selling well, arguably a lighter brand of alternative rock. Not to mention that the more standard pop music was beginning to take hold. The Fugees debuted during this year and Celine Dion had the second best selling album of the year. Things were changing and Bush was going to be left behind.

But none of that changes the fact that their debut album, Sixteen Stone was not only an alternative darling, but a deserving alternative darling. The songs rocked then and they still do now. Tune in tonight around 8:40 PM CDT as we play several selections from Bush's debut album.

WTF Preshow - Mirror Ball

wtf — 2006-08-04T08:08:45-05:00

Many believe that one of the first real grunge records was Nirvana's Nevermind. They are half correct. It was one one of the first real grunge records to break into the mainstream. Not only was it Nirvana's second record, but others had been experimenting with the sound for a while. One of the lesser known grunge scientists, if you will, was Neil Young. Yes, that Neil Young. A full year before Nirvana's career-exploding album was released, Neil Young (with his frequent backup band Crazy Horse) released Ragged Glory, a full-on grunge record in every aspect. But this week's preshow isn't about the incredible sounds of Ragged Glory, but about Neil Young's 1995 return to grunge with the amazing and underappreciated Mirror Ball.

When writing songs in 1994, Neil fell back into an alternative sound. Great timing, considering that in 1994 alternative music was exploding. For the most part, Woodstock 25 was alternative's showcase, with sets by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day becoming some of the most memorable ones. So Neil had a pile of alternative songs written and ready to go, but would Crazy Horse again be at his side? During the time since Ragged Glory, Neil had become close friends with the members of Pearl Jam as they played Neil's annual Bridge School Benefit concerts. Pearl Jam, having just cancelled their tours in an effort to fight Ticketmaster, had some free time on their hands. Neil asked them to come into the studio and be his backup band. They agreed.

Mirror Ball is not the Neil Young and Pearl Jam album. It's not even the Neil Young featuring Pearl Jam album. These are all of Neil's songs. It is all of his chords and all of his lyrics (with the exception of one backup stanza in "Pearl and Love"). Pearl Jam, the band, is not even credited anywhere on the album, as Crazy Horse always is. All of the members of Pearl Jam are credited individually in the same style as session players. They are just the backup band. This is the Neil Young show.

And what a great show it is. Tune in tonight around 8:35 PM CDT time to catch a few songs off of Neil Young's 1995 release, Mirror Ball

WTF Preshow - Nina Gordon - Bleeding Heart Graffiti

wtf — 2006-08-11T06:08:49-05:00

She's not the Seether. That's pretty clear if you listened to the final Veruca Salt album that Nina Gordon was a part of. The Seether's Louise. So, just what is she? Who is Nina Gordon? Nina Gordon might just be one of the best pop-rock song writers that the music world has seen in recent years. On her 2000 solo debut, Tonight and the Rest of My Life, she proved that there was life after Veruca Salt by delivering an extremely tight set of songs. But could she do it again?

This past Tuesday, August 8th, nearly 6 years later, Nina is back with Bleeding Heart Graffiti and once again, it's good. Back with her is her collaborator from her debut album and her last Veruca Salt album, Bob Rock. Bob Rock's name might be familiar if you saw the Metallica documentary Some Kind of Monster. Bob has been with Metallica as their producer since their breakthrough mega CD was recorded in the early 90s (he's not on their forthcoming album). He's the one in the documentary that seems like he doesn't necessarily belongs in the therapy sessions because all he wants to do is record the next big rock album. I digress. Bob has crazy amounts of talent as a producer and has captured some of the best guitar sounds I've ever heard. It was for this reason that Bob was hired on as producer for that Veruca Salt record - the label wanted Bob's strong experience with guitars to be heard on the Veruca Salt record. After Nina left Veruca Salt to go solo, Bob followed along, impressed by her talents.

6 years is a long time between records for just about any artist. Why so long? Busy with the extremely lengthy recording/therapy sessions of Metallica's St. Anger, Bob was unavailable to be Nina's producer on her sophomore album (he also played bass on the Metallica album). Into the studio Nina went with some other producers to start writing the songs. In 2004 she presented the songs to the record label. They loved them and were ready to go forward with releasing the album. Nina, however, had other plans. She asked for an extension because she wasn't quite happy with a few of the songs. With St. Anger released upon the world and a full-time bass player selected, Bob was free to work on non-Metallica projects. Nina wanted to meet up with Bob and work with him to tighten up a few of the songs. Confident in Nina's talent and knowing the abilities of Bob Rock, the label agreed. 2 years later, Bob and Nina re-worked almost every song and Bleeding Heart Graffiti was born.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT tonight to hear selections from Nina Gordon's brand new release, Bleeding Heart Graffiti (plus bonus track - Nina's acoustic rendition of NWA's "Straight Outta Compton"!).

One thing that I love about AAP's Pre-Shows is that you know what you are going to listen to HOURS before the show goes live. You can think about the great music that will proceed the WTF event every Friday.

Every once in awhile, Chilly gets to make the Pre-show. You get the list about an hour before the show. Better late then never I always say! That motto also works when talking about menstral cycles as well, but I digress.

Well, the backstory of the band you will hear tonight goes something like this. Nomad reads Dooce, Dooce likes the band called, Wolf Parade. Nomad bought the CD off that recommadation and Chilly loves the disc. It was about time to give them some playtime before the show. If you tuned in awhile ago, AAP played "Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah". Wolf Parade has the same type of style. They really do rock and to prove it, tune in to WTF at around 8:43:37 to hear:

WTF Preshow - The Breeders - Last Splash

wtf — 2006-08-25T08:08:08-05:00

With AllAroundPsycho back at the controls of the WTF Preshow this week, you once again get a blast of 90s alternative rock. Yes, he's still not off of that kick of 90s rock. Yes, you have to deal with the fruits of this obsession. No, he doesn't expect it to end any time soon. Enough question-answering, let's get to the music. This week, WTF Radio presents to you songs from The Breeders "hit" album, Last Splash.

AAP heard of The Breeders long before he had heard of the amazing and incredibly influential band The Pixies. Kim Deal of The Pixies went on to form The Breeders with Tanya Donelly after The Pixies had separated. Before Last Splash was recorded, Tanya Donelly left to form another early 90s alternative rock group, Belly. Ready to create music but without a second guitarist, Kim Deal recruited her twin sister Kelly Deal to be in the band. Kelly was a little apprehensive to join the band, seeing that she didn't know how to play guitar. Kim taught her what she needed to know and the band took to the studio.

The Breeders are most known for their tune "Cannonball", which received some airplay on MTV between episodes of "The Real World" (when it was good). This strange, but infectious song led many non-Pixies fans to The Breeders and eventually led Last Splash to platinum certification. I followup record in 1994 didn't sell as well. Also, Title TK, an album marking the return of The Breeders in 2002, failed to sell as well as Last Splash.

Today, The Breeders are technically still together. The band consists of just Kim and Kelly Deal, with the sisters filling in the rest of the slots in the band with session players as needed. While there are no plans right now to release another Breeders record in the near future, the sisters continue to collaborate on projects. Kelly Deal has been spotted at the side of the stage for many of the concerts on The Pixies recent reunion tour. She even earned an associate producer credit on The Pixies live DVD from this recent reunion. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw another Breeders release from the Deal sisters at some point.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT tonight to hear selections from The Breeders' platinum selling 1993 release, Last Splash.

WTF Pre-Show: After-MAS*H

wtf — 2006-09-01T08:09:58-05:00

(cross-posted to shiny )

Yes, I'm back this week. As will be socKs. It feels good to be back. I mean, not that I'm actually back yet -- but moreso the notion that I'm getting back into the swing of things. I've missed everyone associated with WTF -- the co-hosts, the listeners, and even Glenn.

Last April I came up with a pre-show which explored several "mash-ups." This genre of music has been catching on more and more with the advent of internet technologies like RSS, very inexpensive (or free) online storage, precision sound-editing software, and, last but not least, a pool of extremely talented "mash-up artists." Some musicians are actually beginning to help out by releasing instrumental and vocals-only tracks.

One of the interesting mash-up stories from last Fall was the release of American Edit by a group of mash-up artists calling themselves "Dean Gray." ("Green Day." Get it?) Their project was a track-by-track mash-up of Green Day's multi-platinum selling American Idiot album. The compilation was released to the net on americanedit.net -- and served with a takedown notice a few days later by Green Day's publishing company for copyright infringement. But by then the damage had been done -- word of mouth (word of keys?) spread around about this amazing piece of work. Other sites came up. The album was already easily available via Bittorrent. A group of guerilla artists organized a day on which to post links to the album on one specific day -- so as many people as possible could download it and enjoy. If you look for it you can still find it quite easily on the Net.

"Modern Rock" commercial stations such as Atlanta's 99X also got in on the hype, releasing news blurbs about "American Edit" and the controversy behind it --something which allowed more people to get into the mashup scene. Even Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day, mentioned that he was intrigued by the notion of his music being mashed up with the likes of Oasis and Aerosmith. But with the current monopoly of the music recording business, creative works like these will likely stay underground.

Here's a list of tonight's pre-show mash-ups. Tune in at 8:40pm CDT and listen to songs that the recording industry doesn't want you to hear -- at least not this way.

djBC - They Might Be Starting: They Might Be Giants vs. Will Smith vs. Pink
Go Home Productions - Jet Lady Joe: Jet vs. The Beatles vs. Joe Walsh vs. Justified Ancients of Mu Mu vs. Mud
Dean Gray - Boulevard of Broken Songs: Green Day vs. Oasis vs. Aerosmith and others

In the world of marketing, there are many forms. Jingles, funny commericals and even viral advertising are the many ways you draw the attention of potential consumers to your product.

It was at 7:30 pm tonight that I realized, "HEY! I gotta make the pre-show." I'm a bit of a slacker... but don't take this pre-show as the lazy way out. I wanted to feature the band, Stefy.

I must admit that my first listen was nothing great. I really didn't like the CD much after my iPod finished the last song... but I decided to listen again. This time, I blasted the volume so that all I could hear was the band. It was great and I now love the CD.

Firstly, this is retro rock again (something I love), but not as far back as the other bands go. This sounds only 20 years old. It is very 80s. So while not everyone may enjoy the 80s synth sound, everyone will start bopping their heads to Stefy's single, Chelsea. While it steals the beat from the Eurthymics (Sweet Things are made of these), it still manages to make the song their own. The CD was purchased on this song alone. Here is the line-up:

1. Hey School Boy
2. Orange County
3. Where Are the Boys
4. Lucky Girl
5. Chelsea

WTF Preshow - Soundtrack Songs That Are Lyrically Tied to Their Host Movies

wtf — 2006-09-15T08:09:26-05:00

For whatever reason, I listened to a lot of songs from soundtracks while I was on vacation in Florida last week. Could it be because my folks have a soundtrack station on their satellite radio? Nah... that can't be it.

I noticed that there are some songs that were made famous by soundtracks that have nothing really to do with the movie itself. The song's general theme may have fit the general theme of the movie, but the song wasn't written for the movie. This is often the case with love songs. But there is another type of soundtrack songs, made most popular in the 80s, where the song is written specifically for the movie. There are references to the characters, the settings, or maybe just the title of the movie. For example, songs for James Bond movies are notoriously written specifically for the movie.

These are the soundtrack songs we are going to highlight today. Not the James Bond ones, but some other songs that are in some way tied directly to the movie whose soundtrack they are on. Some of these are really good songs and have become classics. Some of these are, well, um... some of these are just plain bad (I'm looking at you, MC Hammer).

Tune in at 8:45 PM CDT tonight to listen to this selection of soundtrack songs that relate directly to their "host" movie.

WTF Radio is proud to make an announcement, a promo, if you will. If you've listened to the show before, you've heard promos that mention that on next week's show, AAP will be attacked by squirrels. Some of you may be disappointed when you listen the following week and AAP is not attacked by squirrels. Believe us when we say that AAP does not agree with you on this point.

Speaking of the point, here it is. Tonight, WTF Radio is extremely happy to welcome to the show and into the studio, theracket! That's right, ladies and gentlemen, TheRacket will be joining us live in studio for the entire show. He'll be responding to your answers to Questions of the Week.

In addition to his blogging and taking part in Creativity Exchange here on Mindsay, TheRacket is also the host of The Ruckus podcast, a great sampling of some amazing music that you may not have discovered otherwise. Each edition of The Ruckus doesn't have a track-list as much as it has a recipe. In addition to joining the WTF crew for the live broadcast, TheRacket has been kind enough to prepare a recipe for tonight's preshow; a recipe that is dedicated to WTF's own evil monkey, Garth Sparkles.

WTF Preshow - Metallica Anniversaries

wtf — 2006-10-06T08:10:34-05:00

25 years ago. October, 1981. One man answers a newspaper classified ad that leads to the first meeting of James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the founding members and creative team behind Metallica.

20 years ago. 1986. Metallica releases "Master of Puppets", arguably their best album and widely considered to be one of the most influential albums in all of metal. Metallica's music is often described now as "the thinking man's metal", and "Master of Puppets" was the first of their albums to really show this, as the lyrics address politics, war, drugs, and clinical depression.

In honor of Metallica's 25 years as a band and the 20th anniversary of one of the most influential albums in the history of hard rock and metal, WTF attempts to put some metal up your ass tonight with 4 tracks from Metallica's "Master of Puppets".

Tune in around 8:30 PM CDT tonight to hear selections from Metallica's iconic release, Master of Puppets.

WTF Preshow - Smoosh

wtf — 2006-10-13T08:10:20-05:00

I was first introduced to Smoosh on Audiocrush, a used-to-be-weekly but now every-six-weeks-or-so-ly podcast, but we should have known about them before that. Smoosh has played with Cat Power, Rilo Kiley, Pearl Jam, Death Cab for Cutie, and Sleater-Kinney, all bands that are enjoyed by the WTF hosts and have had pre-shows of their own. How Smoosh escaped the sights of the WTF hosts for so long is a mystery.

Smoosh has a very stripped down sound. The band is comprised of two sisters, Asya and Chloe. Asya plays keyboards and sings while Chloe is on drums. For most of their songs, that's all there is. The occasional guitar or bass is played by a session musician, but most of the time it's just keyboards, drums, and Asya's voice. The sisters choose to record the songs to sound the way they were when they wrote them. The melody switches from simple and catching to mature and elegant... and then right back to simple and catchy again. The lyrics are much the same, very simple and catchy, yet very mature and packed with meaning.

Oh, one other interesting thing about Smoosh. Asya's 14 years old and Chloe is 12... and "Free to Stay" is already their second released album. It's amazing when you think about it. When I was 12, my brother and I were trying to build our own Johnny 5 robot from the movie "Short Circuit" using the Construx set of toys. Meanwhile, these sisters are playing concerts with Pearl Jam.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT tonight to hear some tracks from Smoosh's second album, "Free to Stay".

WTF Preshow - theSTART

wtf — 2006-10-20T08:10:57-05:00

I honestly don't know too much about tonight's band, theSTART. I remember that I discovered them in a post on a Poe message board back around 2002. Someone had said that if you like Poe, which we all did, you'd like theSTART. While that statement has held true for me, I don't necessarily think it will for everyone. Poe and theSTART are not the same sound.

So just what is the sound of theSTART? I can best describe them as Garbage Lite. They are very similar to Garbage in that there are some great rock hooks, some electronic sounds providing ambience, and layered vocals. However, those electronic sounds and layered vocals are used a bit more sparingly, yet still to great effect. theSTART actually compliments Garbage really well, as they proved in late 2005 when they opened for Garbage on the later legs of Garbage's world tour.

theSTART has released two full length albums and numerous EPs, with a third full length album currently being recorded for release in early 2007. Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT tonight to hear some tracks from theSTARTS's first album, "Shakedown!".

WTF is soon and here is the music to prove it.

wtf — 2006-10-27T09:10:22-05:00

Tonight's Preshow is a combination of two of Bruce's favorite things. Music and Movies.

The Pre-show will include songs that were included in movies... but not just included... songs that are very important to the films. Here is the list:

1. Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) from Kill Bill. Once you have listened to the song, you know the story. It is almost as the though the whole movie wrote itself after listening to this song.

2. Man of the Hour from Big Fish. A song that helped finialize the film.

3. Rabbit Run from 8 Mile. It is a movie based on music, so it seems fitting that this rap is the climax of the movie.

4. The Man Comes Around. Maybe I'm stretching here, but this song at the beginning of Dawn of The Dead sets a tone for the whole movie to come. Possibily the best credits for a movie ever.

5. Sour Times. I honestly don't remember what movie this is from, but that is the point. The minute you hear it.. you know you have heard it in a movie and many movies for that fact. The is "the" movie song.

The Pre-Show starts at 8:41 and the show begins at 9:00. Here is the link.

What The Theme!

wtf — 2006-11-03T08:11:19-05:00

The Pre-show for tonight celebrates TV theme songs. I've collected some of my favorite songs that have gone on to become TV themes.

Woke Up This Morning - A3 - The Sopranos: I never heard of A3 before watching the TV show. I have now since bought two of their albums and love their style. They also do a great cover of Hotel California.

Buffy Theme - Nerf Herder - Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Seriously, I'm only playing this because I love Buffy. Long live Joss Whedon.

With A Little Help From My Friends - Joe Cocker - The Wonder Years: I won't be playing the "more rock" version of the song that started the adventures of Kevin Arnold, but if you grew up watching The Wonder Years you will start to see images of the Arnold family in your head when you hear, "What would you do..."

Here with Me - Dido - Roswell: I have never watched Roswell. I had no idea that this song was the theme song, but the power of Google has granted me enlightenment. I love Dido, I love this song and it just happens to be a theme song... "Here with Me" makes the list.

We Used To Be Friends - The Dandy Warhols - Veronica Mars: I love the feeling of hearing a song and knowing what that song is. The timing was also perfect. I had just started listening to The Dandy Warhols a couple months before ever watching Veronica Mars. It was awesome to sing along and also get a little insight into the show from knowing the song beforehand. While the current season has changed the song slightly, here is the original to enjoy all over again while you thinking about Veronica, Keith, Wallace and Logan.

WTF Show and Jenny Lewis

wtf — 2006-11-10T08:11:42-05:00

I wanted to pull a prank and say that the Pre-show would be Jenny Lewis, but then just play 15 minutes of clips from the Nintendo-centric movie The Wizard. Then I thought about how I would probably have my IP address destroyed by blunt weapons by everyone who listened. I like the interweb and would like to keep it... so with that in mind, I decided to refrain from Jenny Lewis the child actor and focus on Jenny Lewis the adult musician.

Jenny Lewis is the lead singer for the band Rilo Kiley. AAP introduced me (Chilly) to them and I really love their work. Later I heard she had a (semi-) solo album and that is was a bit more country sounding ala Neko Case's solo stuff. When I got the album, and this happens with a lot of new CDs I get, I wasn't sold on it. Has something to do with expecting Rilo Kiley and not getting that sound. After a few listens I found I really enjoy the mellow music. I have selected a few tracks from Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins: Rabbit Fur Coat.

1. The Charging Sky
2. It Wasn't Me
3. Happy
4. Handle with Care (Cover song)
5. You Are What You Love

WTF Preshow - Tenacious D

wtf — 2006-11-17T08:11:10-05:00

As some of you may have realize, I (AAP) haven't been on WTF for 3 weeks. With that in mind, know that I had picked out this week's preshow and had it all ready to go about 10 days ago. With that in mind, know that I got a new CD on Tuesday and decided to postpone my more-than-ready-to-go preshow for at least a week, for this week, I must deliver the D.

This weekend, "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny" enters into theaters. This past Tuesday, the soundtrack featuring all new tunes written by Tenacious D entered into your local music retailers. Tenacious D is made up of movie superstar Jack Black and his friend and fellow actor, Kyle Gass. Tenacious D writes and plays musical comedy. The music is set in the style of kick-ass 80s rock. The comedy is strange and at times, a bit blue. Put them together and you have a recipe for tasty riffs and laugh-out-loud lyrics.

While I will admit that the soundtrack album is not quite as good as Tenacious D's self-titled debut CD from a few years ago, it is still a must-have if you enjoyed the original. The D appear to be a little constrained by having to keep this CD on-task to promoting the movie, leaving them mostly unable to drift off to a song about Jack's kielbasa or karata. Still, they manage to stray enough to write a song about sasquatch ("Papagenu"). I think it's still related to the movie, but I'm not positive. Either way, it's a crazy, fun, and silly tune.

And if you are worried about the quality of the music from two comedy actor guys, worry no more. Kyle Gass is a very accomplished guitarist and their connections in the entertainment world gives them a great backing sound. Ronnie James Dio and Meatloaf contribute on one song ("Kickapoo"). Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters and Nirvana plays drums on the entire CD, as well as singing/speaking the role of the devil on several songs.

So tune in tonight around 8:40 PM CDT time to catch the following selection of tracks from the new soundtrack, "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny".

Kickapoo

Baby

The Government Totally Sucks

POD

Papagenu (He's My Sassafrass)

WTF Preshow - Winter

wtf — 2006-12-01T09:12:40-05:00

Some of our listeners are enjoying summer right now. Others have had to deal with the effects of a colder season for a few weeks now. But at the home office of WTF Radio, winter has arrived today. Fitting, with it being the 1st of December.

Tonight we'll play a selection of songs whose titles contain references to the season of winter. Whether the song is literally about winter or nothing more than a metaphor is of no importance. A metaphor is chosen because of the feelings and thoughts it creates in your head; and if it's a wintery metaphor, it works for the purpose of the preshow.

Tune in tonight around 8:35 PM CDT with some hot chocolate for these wintery numbers.

WTF Preshow - Talking Heads

wtf — 2006-12-08T08:12:59-05:00

This week's preshow has been nearly 16 months in the making. The moment we started doing preshows, I wanted to do one of all Talking Heads music. I adore Talking Heads. Probably too much, as my first cut at the preshow was 2 hours long. Over the past 16 months I've been slowly lowering the length of the Talking Heads preshow by listening to the latest cut of songs and trying to pull one out each time. The show is finally at a playable length, but it's still over 40 minutes long. It almost goes without saying that there will be a second Talking Heads preshow sometime in the future.

The Talking Heads have proven to be one of the most influential bands to come out of the 70s. Often regarded as one of the first true alternative bands, their sound has influenced current acts such as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Their sound has also clearly been influential to The Pixies, a band considered to be one of the most influential bands to come out of the 80s.

I tried to pick some of their songs that aren't as well known. I had heard "Burning Down the House" and "Once in a Lifetime" on the radio and on MTV in the 80s like many people. While these songs are good, it wasn't until I picked up a full CD that I realized just how amazing this music is. The preshow tonight will mostly stick to some of the lesser known Talking Heads tracks, while the future preshow may include some more of the songs that were made popular by radio and video.

I really hope you get a chance to catch the preshow tonight. This one has been in the WTF oven for a long time and I'm happy to finally serve it up to you. Please tune in tonight around 8:17 PM CDT to catch the following selection of tracks from one of the most influential alternative acts of the past 30 years, Talking Heads.

WTF Preshow - The Ramones

wtf — 2006-12-15T08:12:41-05:00

This week we continue with the theme of influential rock bands from the 70s by playing tracks from arguably the most influential punk band ever, The Ramones.

Like The Talking Heads that were played last week, The Ramones helped to form an alternative sound in the 70s by playing at CBGBs and forming a small, but loyal cult following. Whether you realize it or not, The Ramones have influenced many different modern acts, including the obvious Green Day and the not quite as obvious U2.

Tune in around 8:35 PM CDT time tonight to catch a sampling of one of the greatest punk bands ever, The Ramones. Like many great and influential bands, they weren't truly appreciated by the masses until late in their career. If you haven't heard them, yet, then tonight's your chance.

Keeping You Guessing Whilst You Roll

wtf — 2007-01-05T07:01:21-05:00

Each and every week we at WTF Radio strive to entertain you whilst we entertain ourselves. (Were you not just now entertained by our use of 'whilst' in the opening comment and title? Of course you were! And so were we! And to think our next show has yet to begin!)

To get each show (and listener) rolling right (because we’ll have no wrong-rolling listeners to our well-rolled show, oh no!), we open our ceremonies with a hand-picked thematic pre-show of fun-filled tunes.

Now allow us to boggle your minds, ladies and germs – this week’s pre-show combo will be just the same…only completely different. How can such a paradox stand, you ask? We don’t want to give away any company secrets here (like the show being fueled by Diet Coke which is just an unsubstantiated rumor), but these are the basics; there will be music before WTF airs live tonight at 9 pm CST and okay we lied that’s really the only thing this pre-show will have in common with other pre-shows but saying ‘these are the basic’ would just sound funny, wouldn’t it?

So let’s talk differences, then. Tonight’s musical pre-show will be a guessing game of sorts. (You won’t know what songs you’ll be hearing until you tune in – the set list will not be announced from this stage.) We at WTF Radio would like to force ask each of you to be our pawns contestants, demanding inviting you to listen and whilst (oops, we did it again) you do to solve two mysteries. First, what do all these tracks have in common? And second, who assembled this week’s crazy collage of pre-show tunes?

Who likes a good whodunit? Tune in tonight at 8:30:26 pm CST (give or take a few seconds) and help us figure it out. Come for the music and stay for the show.

And while you're here, don't forget to answer Questions of the Week.

Dear Beloved Listeners,

WTF Radio is taking a week off and will not be broadcasting a pre-show or a live show this week. As sense dictates, there will also not be a new archive.

If you can't bear to spend a Friday night without your WTF friends, you can always listen to last week's archive, available to download right here. Oh, and don't forget to answer Questions of the (Two) Week(s). We'll read those answers live on-air when WTF returns on January 19th.

iTunes Is Back!

After months of having to download the show the old-fashioned way, WTF is happy to once again feature our show on iTunes. Click the link below to subscribe to the show. Yes, you have to do it again even if you already subscribed. We had to start fresh.

Subscribe to WTF Radio via iTunes!

The story is this. The site that has hosted our iTunes service for the past year crashed on us. Rather than rebuilding it, the owners decided to not offer that service to us any more. iTunes makes it easy to switch your podcast to a new host if you have access to the original file. Due to the server crash, we don't have this access. It took us a while to come up with a solution.

Technically, we don't have a real solution yet, but we have a workaround. The good thing with the workaround is that when we do have a final solution, you won't have to re-subscribe again. We've made sure of that.

We apologize for the delay in getting iTunes back, but we wanted to make sure you wouldn't have to jump through any hoops again. Please click the link above, subscribe via iTunes, and get WTF delivered to you automatically. Oh... and delete the old iTunes WTF subscription. You'll never see any files on that one again.

WTF Preshow Presents - Coverville!

wtf — 2007-01-19T08:01:15-05:00

WTF is all about love. We love our listeners. We love doing the show. We love donuts.

We also love to spread the love, so this week's preshow is an homage to one of the better podcasts available on the internets. The podcast is called Coverville and you should really check it out. 2 or 3 times a week, podcast-workhorse Brian Ibbot puts out a new show that is strictly cover songs. You'll hear some that you know and you'll hear many that you don't.

Tonight I chose several of my favorite cover songs. You may notice that there are two Rolling Stones songs in there. I'm not a huge fan of the Rolling Stones, but I just couldn't put this list together without including both of those songs. Preshow-regular Charlotte Martin delivers one of the most emotional versions of "Wild Horses" that I have ever heard. Chan Marshall of Cat Power does something truly amazing with "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", tearing the song down to it's core and presenting it in a way that you might not recognize it even if you are the biggest Rolling Stones fan.

Grab a blanket and cover up at around 8:35 PM CDT for this Coverville-inspired WTF Preshow. Make sure you follow those Coverville links if you liked this preshow or the concept!

The Boys of Summer - Don Henley, cover performed by Bree Sharp
Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones, cover performed by Charlotte Martin
Leavin' Here - Eddie Holland, cover performed by Pearl Jam
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones, cover performed by Cat Power
Dear God - X.T.C., cover performed by Sarah McLachlan
Mad World - Tears for Fears, cover performed by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews

So, what I'm proposing is that the first person that responds via an IM at the point I cue you with "THIS IS YOUR CLUE" will receive a gift worth $10 (US). Honestly, I don't know what it is yet, but I promise it will be awesome. Also, I can only guarantee that I will mail it to someone in the lower 48 contiguous states. People in other countries (like Hawaii and Alaska, ha ha!) will receive an online gift of equal worth.

It'll be worth it to listen if you're a loser, too. No worries.

Preshow - Better We Do This One Now Than on February 14th

wtf — 2007-01-26T09:01:45-05:00

Love hurts.

Okay, maybe it doesn't always, but sometimes it can. Sometimes it's because your love isn't returned to you by the object of your love. Other times someone falls out of love with you. Whatever the reason, one of the best emotions we can experience can also very easily lead to some of the worst feelings we can experience.

That's love for ya, huh?

And that's the theme of tonight's preshow. Pain brought on by love. Tonight's songs take several different looks at this situation. Some are hopeful and others are downright depressing.

Tune in tonight around 8:35 PM CDT to feel some heartbreak... and some hope... but mostly heartbreak. Then stick around for the live show, starting at 9:00 PM CDT. We'll try to cheer you up.

WTF Preshow Presents an Overlooked Gem - Zwan

wtf — 2007-02-02T08:02:38-05:00

Billy Corgan will always be remembered as the man that fronted the popular 90s alternative act, Smashing Pumpkins. He's bringing the band back in the coming months and even if it turns out to be a failed attempt, his place in music history is set. However, did you know that Billy fronted another band post Smashing Pumpkins? An attempt at playing solo reminded him how much he preferred being in a band, so with Smashing Pumpkins split up, Billy formed Zwan.

Zwan had released one album, Mary Star of the Sea, and it's amazing. Despite a nice, clean feel, the album sounds full and alive, as if Billy wanted us to hear what it sounds like when a full band was at work. The lyrics are generally very upbeat and positive, in contrast to a lot of his Pumpkins-era material. It is clear that Billy loved being back in a band.

So why did Zwan break up less than 2 years after they formed? Fame. With the exception of Jimmy Chamberlain, the drummer from Smashing Pumpkins, the band was made up of relatively unknown, young musicians. The money and fame that comes along with being part of Billy Corgan's new band got to everyone's heads. Sex between band members and producers, heroin, and extravagant expenditures tore apart the band. Billy now says that he can't even listen to the album, as the lyrics all sound like "lies". They were written with the very exciting and comforting prospect of being in a band again. Real life didn't quite play out as it was described in the songs.

Tune in around 8:30 PM CDT time tonight to catch several songs of one of the best, but most overlooked alternative albums. Most follow-up and side projects by well-known arists don't live up to the quality of the main project, but Zwan is certainly an exception to this trend. And then stick around, because the main show starts at 9:00 PM CDT.

WTF Preshow - Sound

wtf — 2007-02-09T08:02:28-05:00

We have 5 senses and music seems to affect all of them. We can feel the music in our bodies, quite literally when the bass is pumpin'. Our sense of taste is there as well, as Jack Black in Tenacious D often reminds us that we can eat a tasty riff. If you close your eyes while listening to music, you can often see the band, their message, or a moment in you life that the song reminds you of. You may also see dreams of a different future. Besides the distinctive odor of pot at a Dave Matthews Band concert, I can't think of a good way to link to the sense of smell right now, so we won't dwell on it any longer.

But those four senses are just byproducts that wouldn't really have as much meaning to us if you couldn't hear the music. It's all about the sound. We may love the sensations and the other feelings that music gives us, but if it sounded terrible, would you stick around and listen more? I argue that you wouldn't. Sound is king. And that's why every song in tonight's preshow has the word 'sound' either in the name of the song or in the name of the artist.

Tune in tonight around 8:40 PM CDT to listen to these sound tunes. Like sound advice, you can feel comfortable knowing that this is good for you. Also stick around past the preshow, as the live talk-show part of this WTF thing starts at 9:00 PM CDT. But that's for 9 PM. At 8:40 PM, it will be time to give due respect to the real reason we all listen to music. The sound.

WTF Preshow - Love Rokcs

wtf — 2007-02-16T08:02:02-05:00

A few weeks ago we did a preshow with the theme "Love Hurts". Now, in the interest of Valentine's Day, we turn the tables and do a preshow with the theme "Yay for Commercialism!"... I mean, with the theme "Love Rocks".

This preshow again contains songs about love, but not unrequited love or lost love like that other preshow had. No, these are songs about good, happy love. That was one of two requirements for this preshow; the songs had to be very positive in their outlook on love. The other requirement was that they had to rock.

These are rocks songs. There's no sappy, Celine Dion lovey-dovey songs in here. These are up-tempo songs that you'll hopefully be bobbing your head to or dancing a bit in your desk chair or in your car. They might even be good songs to frak to. Try frakking your loved one while listening to the preshow and let us know how that goes. Maybe we'll read it on air. If you don't have a loved one, try frakking a stranger during our preshow and telling us about that. We'll definitely read that on air.

Tune in tonight around 8:40 PM CDT to listen to these tunes that we hope you'll love. Also stick around past the preshow, as the live talk-show part of WTF starts at 9:00 PM CDT. We hope you'll be ready to love that, too. And we mean that animalistic, raw physical love that rises in your soul and explodes in a shower of... woah. Looks like I have another preshow about "naughty" love brewing there.

WTF Preshow - Kurt Cobain's 40th Birthday

wtf — 2007-02-23T08:02:19-05:00

This week marks what would have been Kurt Cobain's 40th birthday. So, tonight's music is a selection of some lesser known Nirvana songs. Rarities, if you will. Sure, they are all available on albums that you can get with one trip to an online retailer or a brick-and-morter store, but that's not the point. These are the tracks that most people skip over or just forget about unless they are more die-hard fans. Some of Kurt's best writing was in songs that would never have made it on the radio.

Typical of Kurt Cobain, some of the lyrics are objectional, especially in the final track, "Ain't It a Shame". The lyrics in the song are soaking in sarcasm. Please don't take them literally, as they are meant to show how wrong something is by over-glorifying it (think Stephen Colbert). I don't think I've ever felt the need to warn anyone about the lyrical content of my preshow choices, but I almost didn't play the song because of the objectional lyrics. And that would have been worse. The message doesn't get out if you hide it. Just wanted to put that disclaimer out there, as not seeing the sarcasm can lead to exactly the wrong results.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT time tonight to catch several songs that you may not have heard by one of the most important music figures of the 1990s. Don't go too far after the music stops, because the WTF Radio talk show starts it's weekly live broadcast at 9:00 PM CDT.

It would have been Kurt's 40th birthday this week. So grab some birthday cake and ice cream and settle in for some tunes. And if you don't want to eat cake in honor of Kurt Cobain, please note that this week also marks chilly's 30th birthday. Now you really want cake, don't you?

WTF Preshow - Jill Cunniff

wtf — 2007-03-09T08:03:11-05:00

I'm a little torn by this week's musical selection. Scratch that, as it's not exactly a true statement. I'm a little torn by if I want you to know about her or not. Allow me to explain. While I'm extremely proud to be presenting an artist you probably don't know about, I really wish you did know about her. Music like this needs more exposure.

Jill Cunniff is a name you probably don't recognize, but you might recognize the name of the band that she was in earlier during her career. Jill was one of the ladies of Luscious Jackson, a group that had some modest success in the 90s. After Luscious Jackson broke up in 2000, Jill has generally remained quietly on the sidelines. Not so anymore, because two weeks she released her debut solo album, "City Beach". Jill's music is an alternative take on pop music and it's very refreshing to hear it now when there is a lot of generic, processed music on our radio stations. A great mix of live instruments, fresh samples, amazingly catchy hooks, and a beautiful voice are what you are going to find across every track of "City Beach".

Tune in around 8:45 PM CDT time tonight to hear a sampling of songs from Jill Cunniff's debut solo album, "City Beach". And if you aren't running out to find a store open where you can purchase the CD, stick around after the music stops for the WTF Radio talk show; starting it's weekly live broadcast at 9:00 PM CDT.

WTF PreShow - Shiny's Mash-Ups III: Werewolves, Guns and Idiots

wtf — 2007-03-30T08:03:55-05:00

(cross-posted to shiny)

Yes, my dear Mindsay compadres and WTF Radio audiophiles: We're having another one of those pre-shows.

You know what I had been thinking since my early "tween" years? It was the summer of 1982 and I was at summer camp when I heard "Take the Money and Run" by the Steve Miller Band. And I was intrigued by the fact that it sounded almost identical to "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynrd. I mean, how could people not figure that out? Later on I realized that Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" also shared that same refrain with the other two songs. I had wondered if there was a way to play the songs over each other to demonstrate the similarities to other people who looked at me kind of crazy when I insisted that they were the same song!

Tragically I was brushed off about my infautuation with the Steve Miller Band song. But mash-up artist AudioDile went ahead to prove my point with the track More Werewolves of Alabama. It blends together these two songs -- as well as More than a Feeling by Boston, Don't Tell Me by Madonna, Back in Black by AC/DC and more. Kind of a busy song, but hey -- isn't that true of all mashups?

I've also included Synchronize's Sweet Times Of Mine -- a hybrid of Guns n' Roses and Foo Fighters which holds a special place in my heart. Both are passionate songs, and they blend togteher quite well.

In September I talked a bit about American Edit, the mash-up album composed by a group of DJs coining themselves as "Dean Gray." It's a fantastic compliation of tracks from Green Day's American Idiot and is worth a listen in full. In fact, if you search for "American Edit" on YouTube you'll find that a group of performers have made a rock opera based on the mash-up album. American Jesus is their swan song -- mixing both American Idiot and Jesus of Suburbia with all sorts of tunes by Kanye West, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Bryan Adams and Johnny Cash.

It's too bad that none of you will be able to hear any of this.

Ha! Just kidding! Answer the Questions of the Week on this very site. When you're done with that, make sure to tune into WTF Radio at 8:40pm CDT (or 9:40pm EDT) for the best pre-show since... well, last week. Mash Up, up and away!

Track List:
Audiodile - More Werewolves of Alabama
Synchronize - Sweet Times of Mine
Dean Grey - American Jesus (American Edit / Jesus's Tears / Summer of the Damned / Suburban Ring / It's Like That )

WTF Preshow - Counting Crows

wtf — 2007-04-06T10:04:24-05:00

Counting Crows is another one of my little 90s mini-obsessions. I have a desire to get all of their music, but I just haven't gotten around to it, yet. The reason that I usually get mini-obsessions like this is because of a box set style album. I get it, I listen to it, and I realize that I like the songs that I've never heard of before far more that the radio hits.

So, in an attempt to pass that kind of feeling on to you, the preshow tonight will consist of four Counting Crows songs that were never radio hits. They probably should have been, but were not going to discuss that right now. These are several songs by them that I have grown to like so much more than their "Mr. Jones" or "Long December" radio tunes. Not that I have anything against those songs, but the ones we present tonight are gems that need a little more attention.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT time tonight to hear a sampling of songs from Counting Crows' back catalog. And if you aren't running out to find a store open where you can purchase the greatest hits CD, stick around after the music stops for the WTF Radio talk show; starting it's weekly live broadcast at 9:00 PM CDT.

WTF Preshow - Guided By Voices

wtf — 2007-04-13T08:04:38-05:00

If you are chilly, nomad, theRacket, or paths4byzantium, you know that recently I (AAP) have been listening to quite a bit of Guided By Voices. Admittedly, I've been a little obsessed with the band for the past few weeks. I discovered them about 5 years ago, even did a preshow with them once before, but still never really followed up on them. I had 2 CDs, one with the song that I discovered them through and a greatest hits CD, but nothing more. Finding more CDs by them at an affordable price is a challenge, but I now have 2 more CDs. They are better described as fuel for the obsessive fire. It's time for you to hear some more from my current obsession.

Tune in around 8:40 PM CDT time tonight to hear some tracks from Guided By Voices, an often overlooked gem in the catalog of alternative music. Extremely catchy tunes are what you are in for. Oh, and please stick around for the live show that kicks off at 9 PM. We are following Guided By Voices. You could say that Guided By Voices is the voice that is guiding us to the live show. Yeah, I ran out of clever stuff yesterday.

WTF Takes a Break

wtf — 2007-04-20T11:04:46-05:00

This is normally the time and the place that we announce the preshow for tonight's show.

But that's not going to happen this week.

See, all seven of the regular hosts of the show have other commitments tonight. Yup, all seven. That's cool because nobody feels bad for skipping out on the show. It's not cool because it leaves us with no show.

So there will not be a show this week, but we will return next week on April 27th, 2007, with another action-packed, riveting episode of WTF. Aren't you already excited?

Oh, and don't forget that even though the show isn't on tonight, you can still answer Questions of the Week.

WTF Strikes Again! (not)

Hi, everyone.

Sorry for the late notice, but there will not be a fresh, new episode of WTF for you this week. We apologize. We know some of you might cry because of this. Buck up, camper. There will be new WTF soon.

Yes, we've missed 2 out of the last 3 weeks. Not a great stretch, but if you ignore this minor bump you'll see that prior to this last month, we've only missed about 2 shows in the last 3 years. That's pretty solid. Overall, we're still a horse worth betting on.

Bide the time by answering Questions of the Week and we'll be back before you know it.

Spoon-fed

wtf — 2007-05-18T08:05:55-05:00

There is nothing greater then to hear a song for the first time and get swallowed up by its sound. While I don't remember how I stumbled upon the band Spoon, I won't forget listening to "The Beast And The Dragon, Ado" for the first time. One of my many favorite scenes in the movie Reservoir Dogs is in the beginning. It is the credits as you watch our criminals walking in slow motion into the distance. The music mixed with the slow camera work distills "COOL" to its very core. While the Spoon song is nothing like the music in Reservoir Dogs, "The Beast And The Dragon" captures cool without the slow-mo.

I believe I've played a Spoon Pre-show in the past, but probably when I only had one of their CDs. Tonight, I share a couple more songs from them. Here is what you get to listen to:

1. The Beast And The Dragon, Ado
2. Everything Hits At Once
3. The Way We Get By
4. 10:20 AM
5. I Summon You

The Pre-Show will begin at 8:42:53 pm (CST) with WTF starting at 9:00 pm (CST... still... we aren't changing timezones in between.) In order to listen to WTF just right-click this link, save it to your computer, then open that file up in a streaming audio program.

Sure, summer doesn't officially start until June 21st (or December 21st if you're littleblue), but summer is truly here in spirit once Memorial Day weekend swings around. People are out grilling meats over fires with their friends, the sun stays out past 8 PM, and there's nothing but reruns on TV (except for Studio 60). So to help usher in summer's spirit, WTF presents to you a batch of songs that are inspired by the spirit of summer.

Tune in tonight around 8:35 PM CDT to catch these summery tunes. And stick around until 9 PM to hear the live show where the WTF crew talks and talks about anything that pops in our heads... literally. Trust me, there's almost no filter on what we say.

WTF Preshow - Mental Jewelry

wtf — 2007-06-01T08:06:26-05:00

In 1994, the band Live released "Throwing Copper" and barely anyone noticed. In 1995, with the release of the singles "I, Alone" and "Lightning Crashes", they dominated pop, alternative, and rock radio in their march to selling 8 million copies of the album. But before they were radio darlings, they released their first album, "Mental Jewelry", a masterpiece produced by Talking Head's Jerry Harrison. While it did see a sales spike with the success of "Throwing Copper", it has been mostly overlooked.

Tune in around 8:10 PM CDT time tonight to hear "Mental Jewelry", the amazing first album from Live. The album will be played in it's entirety so that you don't have to miss a single note of this incredible debut album that has been hidden in the shadow of the more commercially successful "Throwing Copper". Then stick around for the live show that kicks off at 9 PM. We'll make it funny... promise.

WTF Preshow - For the Heathers

wtf — 2007-07-20T08:07:31-05:00

Last week several of the Madison-based WTFers had the opportunity to catch the band Baby Teeth open up for the Redwalls. Baby Teeth were pretty frickin' cool. Not only that, they created an awesome little EP a few years ago that is actually a really cool little musical experiment. Instead of me trying to explain it poorly, here is the explanation straight from the EP's liner notes.

This EP is the result of a dare. The three members of Baby Teeth were each to write and home-record a song in airtight seclusion. The three songs would share nothing more than a title: "Heather". Beyond that, each member was left completely to his own devices. After several months of secretive labor, it was time for the great unveiling. Initial reactions were of shock and surprise. Then, some joy. This extended-play release is for the Heathers.

Pretty cool, huh? So tonight, tune in at 8:45 PM CST to hear the three members of "Baby Teeth" perform songs called "Heather". And, we'll also throw in an awesome remake that Baby Teeth did of one of their own songs. Then, stick around, because at 9:00 PM CST, the brand new, free range, 100% non-scripted WTF comes flying at you.

If you listened to last week's show, you know that Johnny5 and Woody were back in town. After doing our WTF thang with them, we went over to Woody's parent's house to do some swimmin' in the pool. That inspired tonight's preshow. Plus, it was an excuse to play another Baby Teeth track.

Speaking of Baby Teeth... After last week's show, I went to the Baby Teeth website and signed up for the mailing list and said, "Thanks for the rockin' Madison show." Do you know that the lead singer wrote me back to thank me for coming... from his own personal e-mail account? Talk about connecting with your fans.

Pre-Show - 8/3/2007 - Flight of the WTF...

wtf — 2007-08-03T11:08:52-05:00

Tonight's pre-show brings you music from New Zealand's Flight of the Conchords. They are proud to proclaim themselves as "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular folk-parody duo." They also have a show on HBO this summer with the same name -- in which we see the story of their lives as they try to make it big in New York with the help of Murray, their part-time manager who also happens to be a cultural attache for the New Zealand Consulate. Their fan base in the show consists of Mel, an obsessed married student of psychology and... well, that's it. One fan.

Their music is quite creative. I've put some songs together -- some of which are live renditions and others pre-recorded.

Jenny (Live) - this is the song that got me (shiny) hooked. A simple reunion of two lost loves as they sit in a park, reminiscing of their old times. Except that their both played by men. And one of them is obviously more invested in the time they had together than the other one.

Robots (The Humans Are Dead) - A song about an apocalyptic, distant future where the world is run by robots. If you like the song, check out the video on the YouTube.

Think, Think About It - this is their political awareness song -- discussing violence in the city streets, AIDS and poor sweatshop conditions. "What is wrong with the world today?" they sing...

Rap Battle - The Rhyme-nocerous vs. The Hip-Hop-apotamus (Live) - Back in New Zealand where they invented Gangsta Rap -- they had their own alternative identities. Listen to the smooth freestylig in the middle.

Business Time - A sweet, sexy, soulful song about makin' love. Kind of.

Enjoy! Check back at 9:40pm EDT / 8:40pm CDT for the pre-show -- followed by another exciting edition of WTF.

WTF Preshow - Scrubs

wtf — 2007-08-10T07:08:38-05:00

This summer, Chilly, Nomad, and AllAroundPsycho have become a little obsessed with the television show, "Scrubs". We've watched every episode through Season 4 over the course of this summer. We'll be watching Season 5 over the next few weeks.

Besides the great acting, dumb comedy, smart comedy, and out-of-left-field deep, emotional moments that make up this incredible show, there's also an amazing soundtrack backing everything. Tonight's preshow is composed of some of the incredible tunes that have played prominently on the television show "Scrubs". Note: there are no songs in here from the musical episode. We haven't seen that episode yet and are trying to stay unspoiled.

Tune in tonight at 8:44 PM CST for the "Scrubs" preshow. And stick around, because at 9:00 PM CST, the 100% all improv WTF Radio live broadcast beings. No scripts, no bits, not even any plans. It's WTF Radio.

Learn to Fly - The Foo Fighters
Hold on Hope - Guided By Voices
One Thing - Finger Eleven
I'm No Superman (The "Scrubs" Theme) - Lazlo Bane

WTF Pre-show for 8/17/2007: The not-as-good as Coverville edition

wtf — 2007-08-17T09:08:10-05:00

The pre-show entertainment are cover songs that I (Chilly) has pain-stakinly picked out. While I am certainly aware that I'm a hack compared to Brain Ibbott, I've gone ahead anyway with the task.

Here is what you will hear:

1. Astronomy - Metallica: Metallica put out a cd years ago called "Garage Inc". It was a re-print of a CD that Metallica put out even more years ago called "Garage Days" which was nothing but cover songs, but the second CD was filled with NEW covers. People might remember the radio over-playing "Turn the page" or "Whiskey in the Jar", but this was the song I enjoyed the most. A cover of the Blue Oyster Cult's song.

2. Common People - William Shatner: Even though the name says William Shatner and you will definitely hear William Shatner, the genius behind this song is Ben Folds. "Has Been" is a great CD due to Shatner's collaboration with Folds. I don't know how they even thought of it, but this cover of Pulp's 1995 hit is amazing. Way to go Fold...er.. Shatner!

3. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - Cat Power: After listening to the lyrics, I knew the song sounded familiar... but I couldn't place it. This is probably due to the fact that Cat Power took out the chorus of this Rolling Stone's song. This song has been covered many times, but not quite like this.

4. One - Johnny Cash: Cash had to be on this list, but the only trouble was in choosing which song. While everyone has heard (and probably loves) "Hurt", I wanted to pick a different one. Cash's version of the U2 song really hits the lyrics home. Cash could have sung any Spice Girl's song and I would be moved to tears.

5. Hotel California - A3: I'm a fan of The Soprano's and I (like millions of others) dug the theme song. So much that I sought out to find who made it. That is when I also bought up most of the A3 discography. Here is their cover of The Eagle's hit.

WTF Preshow - Rage Against the Machine

wtf — 2007-08-31T08:08:55-05:00

Last week theRacket and myself (AAP) missed the WTF broadcast because we were taking in one of Rage Against the Machine's very few reunion concerts. It was amazing. It's a full week later and I still have an extra spring in my step from the energy of that show. Few concerts stick with me that long.

Because I can't seem to get that music out of my head, I'm going to subject all of you to some of it as well. Tune in tonight around 8:35 PM CST to hear a few tracks from Rage Against the machine.

Bulls on Parade
Settle for Nothing
Wake Up

We are LIVE NOW - if you are reading this on Friday night, that is.

WTF Preshow - Journey

wtf — 2007-09-07T12:09:14-05:00

Last weekend, several of the WTF hosts were hanging out and shooting the shit about music. At one point, the statement was made that "Journey: Greatest Hits" might be one of the best albums ever. As bold a statement as it was, nobody could really argue it at all.

Tune in tonight around 8:40 PM CST to listen to a selection of tracks from "Journey: Greatest Hits". I don't know how we are going to follow those tunes, but stick around until 9:00 PM CST, when the WTF crew does it's totally improv, totally unrehearsed live internet radio show.

Blame It On The Cabbage

wtf — 2007-09-28T11:09:13-05:00

In case you noticed, we aren't doing a show tonight. I really intended to post this earlier but a soup was involved as well as a very busy day.

But it's time to come clean about something significant that is going on behind the scenes.

WTF Radio is closing up shop. But it isn't a bad or sad thing. It's just time.

So, we're taking a small, itty-bitty pre-break and will come back ~~in early November~~ sometime with our final show.

It's been a crazy and fun ride. I am so grateful for the opportunities it's provided for me/us, the people I've met, the things I've been pushed to learn and do.

For that final show, we're going to have a full house. We'll have past guests, guests who became regulars and hosts, and hopefully we'll create some new guests/IM buddies out of you.

I'm also going to throw out a couple of Question of the Finale. But give me some time to come up with them.

Thank you,
Nomad

WTF Reunion Show

wtf — 2009-11-11T03:11:53-05:00

We had hoped to make the reunion show coincide with the reunion tour here on MindSay, but logistics wouldn't allow.

In case you haven't heard. And seriously, I know it's quite possible you haven't. WTF Radio is having a reunion show. Save the date and time on your calendar.

Saturday, November 14
10:00pm EST / 9:00pm ~~EST~~ CST

We're using TalkShoe to broadcast the show. You'll be able to chat in a chat room and call in to the radio show. Fancy pants!

If you can't make the live show, don't worry. The show will also be saved as a Podcast.

We'll have links and instructions closer to the date.

We hope to see you!

In Just A Bit...

wtf — 2009-11-14T09:11:11-05:00

Copied from the wise and forgiving Shiny:

* The [WTF Reunion] show has its own web page you'll be able to access at http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/69574. There's a chat room for those who would like to participate live. If you're looking to use your Mindsay name rather than "guest," you can quickly register with TalkShoe. When you get to the chat, you can listen to the show.

* Windows users can also download "TalkShoe Live Pro" (for free) which allows a much sleeker interface and accessibility. It starts up through your browser.

* For those of you who can't make it to a computer for all of the show -- you can also call in at (724) 444-7444 and punch in Call ID 69574 to listen! You MIGHT need to register on TalkShoe with a PIN beforehand; I'm not totally sure about that part of it.

* The show will be available online after the fact for those of you who have much less significant plans this Saturday evening.

Hope to see you there!

Thank You, Again.
