underneath the radar: week eighteen
Yes, people, I'm still alive barely. After a horrific week of 15th century Russian iconography, Criminal Procedure and Medical Law takehome exams/more exams/more essays I can finally chill for a few moments and tell you what's happened with Radar this week.
Well, in a word it was crazy. Fun, but crazy. I had my ubersarcasticyetlovely brother Andrew on as well as the surlyyetslightlycalm friend Spiro as well as beautifulyetcompletelyexasperated Lauren on the line. We actually had a completely incidental and illegal feed from another radio station, so most of talk time was dead air, trying to figure out what this ghost station was talking about. Sounds weird? Yeah, well it was. Do you think my delusions of gradeur were obliterated? yeah.
Regardless I got the sweetest sms from the studio's sms line from a faithful listener during the show which cheered me up immensely, I thought she wouldn't mind if I shared it:
"Hail Queen of the Down Underground! How fares they noble brother and fair companion? The show is running well as of yet and I am much looking forward to the infamous MixUp. Love from your itty bitty fan (I'm very short you see, hehe)"
Gosh it just makes me so happy. Ha!
Despite appearances, the show actually featured some fantastic content. Songs from the Front Row featured live covers from Graham Coxon and Elliot Smith as well as a live rendition of London Calling by the Clash. Mashups featured some odd mixtures of BRMC & Basement Jaxx as well as Alanis Morrissette & the Prodigy.
el's desire to be in sixteen candles start here
There was an odd expression of the radarlovemixedtape which showcased songs from my exasperated, heartbreaking and totally sweet teen movies. Featured soundtracks included Pretty in Pink, Never Been Kissed and Donnie Darko. EY - it IS a teen movie ok?!

Nice work Elle, I must say that Elliott Smith is so so beautiful! Loved it! Dig was pretty damn cool, very funny and very interesting. Anton Newcomb, the lead of the Brian Jonestwon Massacre is a complete pretentious nut! but genius at that. And Courtney Taylor took my breath away with his good looks and sexy voice! hehe. talk soon
Damnit, Blue Orchid was supposed to be a New and Approved exclusive! :/ We'll have to make do with the other leaked songs I've downloaded instead I guess!
I still haven't finished my essay Amanda. I wish I had seen Dig with you! Darn AND blast!
Mason, I'll race you to the next unreleased leaked track :D Hahaha.
Just read the new Bruce Springsteen album has leaked. You can have that one.
You know I couldn't even listen to the new Erasure when it leaked! I had it way before anyone else did but I just couldn't handle it. They've gone in the wrong direction with their synths :( Some people think this may have occurred in 1985 but I tend to think this happened around 2005.
I'm sure Springsteen was cool in 1985. Ha.
I'm not even gonna try get an unreleased leaked track cos I suck at that. anyway, i got my Doves cd and badges today although the tshirt is mega oversize! ah well, coachella tix would have been much nicer. You can go see dig with Simon who is going to see it for the third time soon! hehe. hope ur essay is done NOW :S Talk soon! Wolfmother tonight!! ooo ur 7th comment hehe.
Oh god. I just realised that you had put my sms there. Now I sounds like a dick...fanstastic! :) Bit it WAS a good show, I enjoyed it very much.
