The Top Is So Lonely

Sesame Street Bandaids (myself a.k.a. DJ VJ Singh + DJ Salinger) spun new music (Trailer Trash Tracys, Shogun Kunitoki, Thee Oh Sees, DOOM) and other Spring jams (Panda Bear, Teengirl Fantasy, Nodzzz) last night at our regular time, 8-10PM every Monday evening on WMUA, 91.1FM or streaming from wmua.org.


This Saturday, April 4, WMUA will be hosting our second annual record sale in the Cape Cod Lounge (in the UMass Student Union) from 11AM to 5PM, featuring various music vendors from around the Northeast. WMUA DJs will be spinning all afternoon, including my co-host DJ Salinger at 1PM and myself, DJ VJ Singh (+ special guest DJ Wikipedia Allmusic) at 3PM. Check out the action and don't forget about the FREE show the following Saturday, April 11, in the Blue Wall Cafe - Parts & Labor + Talk Normal at 8PM.

I will also be spinning records Monday April 13 at The Elevens in Northampton with fellow WMUA gents Gabe (of Mynd Blyndrz) + Alex (of Strange Light) at George Myers Presents: Child Bride (Baltimore), Boyzone (North Carolina) and some collaboration between George and Diagram A. For those outa the loop, George is the dude from Breaking World Records, the label which brought you that beautiful Ducktails 7" last year. Everything starts around 9:30PM and yes, it's 21+.
