Playlist - 3.28

Monotonix - Body Language [YSI] [Zshare]
Protomen - Hope Rides Alone
Mattoid - Hey Dude [YSI] [Zshare]
The Cure - Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Divison Cover) [Request]

X - Sex and Dying in High Society
Husker Du - Broken Home, Broken Heart
The Stooges - TV Eye
New York Dolls - We're All In Love
Buzzcocks - Love You More
Suicide - Rocket USA

Pixies - Bone Machine [Request]
The Slits - Typical Girls
The Adverts - Gary Gilmore's Eyes

Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles
Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
Blondie - Picture This

Before I sign out for the week, I need to inform you that Monotonix is probably the most ridiculous and awesome garage rock act to come out of Tel Aviv. Note that I say "act" (as in theatrical act) and not "group" or "band." A Monotonix performance can only be described as a fire-wielding, sweaty, beer drenched explosion of pure chaos (as seen in youtube video below).

I had the great privilege of witnessing said chaos at Springwater about a year ago, which included getting an entire pitcher of beer poured down my shirt by a drunken, hairy Ami Shalev. Speaking of theatrical acts, I thought I would throw The Protomen and The Mattoid in for good measure. Certainly worth checking out if you haven't already. Click away at those links, dear friends.

I'm feeling a bit new wave-ey and self indulgent today. Deal with it!

The Stranglers - Peaches
Devo - Uncontrollable Urge

The Pretenders - The Wait
New York Dolls - Trash
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
Alternative TV - Action Time Vision
The 4 Skins - Clockwork Skinhead
Generation X - Your Generation
Sex Pistols - Submission

This has nothing to do with punk music, but I wanted to share this song with you simply because it's SO much fun to sing along to.

Casey Jones & The Governors - Don't Ha Ha [YSI] [Zshare]

Technical Difficulties

In case you can't already tell, I am by no means any sort of professional disc jockey. In fact, in the spirit of punk music I can guarantee you there will be multiple fuck-ups every show due to the following issues:

1. Something (?) happened to the transmitter last year. WRVU doesn't receive enough of a budget from Vanderbilt Student Communications to fix the problem so unless you would like to donate lump sums of money to the station, it will always sound a bit fuzzy. Please direct all of your donation inquiries to wrvugm@gmail.com or jim.hayes@vanderbilt.edu.

2. To make matters worse, my less than classy laptop which I play all my tunes from likes to click twice every couple of minutes, as if I'm playing from a skipping record. I think it's some sort of fatal hard drive problem. If you would like to join the Save Melissa's Laptop Foundation, please direct your donation inquiries to wrvuradioclash@gmail.com.

Besides that, if there is an actual issue, for example - if the mic is too low or you hate the song I'm playing, please call the DJ line. 322.ROCK. (322.7625)

Also, you should know that WILLIE G and MIKE rock my socks off. Thanks for being dedicated listeners and request-ers. Again, if you want to post a request here ahead of time I can be sure to play them for you next week. Otherwise, you're going to have to take a gamble with my minimal iTunes library.
