Third Show

This was scramble to find songs on ipod week since I was unable to access itunes. It seemed to work well enough.

Kocani Orkestar and Shantel - Siki Siki Baba
Gogol Bordello - Not a Crime
The Arcade Fire - Black Mirror
Cast of The Science of Sleep - Chanson des Chats
Fionn Regan - Put a Penny in the Slot
The Decemberists - Los Angeles, I'm Yours
Flight of the Conchords - If You're into It

Second Show

This is a very belated post since I was laptopless for far too long. There will be nothing but the playlists for these past shows. Expect downloads for current ones though, fret not.

Jeremy Warmsley - Dirty Blue Jeans
Matt & Kim - Yea Yeah
Suburban Kids with Biblical Names - Rent A Wreck
The Blow - Bonjour Jeane Fille
Andrew Bird - Tables and Chairs
The Libertines - Don't Look Back into the Sun (Mick Jones Version)
Special Needs - Blue Skies

First Official Show

With 3 official listeners! Yes, starting off small but luckily a podcast of the show will soon be available for downloading/streaming at the WHRC site.

After last week's mix up, today seemed to run eerily smooth. But good!

The playlist was as follows:

Final Fantasy - Adventure.Exe
Adam Green - Friends of Mine
Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position
Beirut - Interior of a Dutch House
Animal Collective - Did You See the Words
Of Montreal - Lysergic Bliss
Bishop Allen - Click Click Click Click

No mp3s for the moment but here is a fantastic site to check out: http://flyingclubcup.com/
There are currently 8 videos of Beirut, aka Zach Condon, performing songs off his new album The Flying Club Cup, which will be out in stores next week. Look for Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste on the track Cliquot!

Interesting

Well, there was a bit of a problem switching from the previous show to mine. So my playlist failed miserably.

What did play:
some Hot Hot Heat song thrown in while slightly panicking since it was the closest cd
Animal Collective - People
Beirut - Scenic World

Meh...

Next week should be infinitely better, and that will then be the official kick-off of Half Hour Happy Hour.

2 announcements in the meanwhile...
-Animal Collective are playing the Starlight Ballroom tonight
-Patrick Wolf and Bishi are playing the North Star Bar tomorrow, aka Sunday night.

Go see good live music. I'll have more concert news up soon.

WELCOME

Welcome to the future blog for Half Hour Happy Hour, a weekly half hour radio program chock full of great indie, rock, folk, pop, electronica, and as many hybrids as possible.

I'm Lauren, a frosh at Bryn Mawr College, and I adore music. Good music. So listen and get happy.

Once the show starts, I will be posting playlists, mp3s, music news, Philly concert info, etc.

See everyone this Saturday!
