Club 770 Week 5

Yet again I hiked over to University Square before 5 AM.
WEEK 5!!!!! [download]
This morning I was almost late, which caused slight stress as I sat down to the boards, but I calmed myself with a little wintertime piece of music on this first day of December…

Club 770 Week Three

So I have managed to be at WSUM by 5 AM three weeks in a row. Online listeners to Club 770: The WUD Music Hour doubled this week, so I was pretty pumped about that.

in case you haven’t heard…

So I just realized that Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are awesome… little late on this game, I know.

Get to Know:

John Ash

Why do you rock so hard?
With the prevalent metal scene in town, it’s pretty hard not to. I’d say my biggest inspiration as far as rocking hard goes is definitely a local band called Lords of the Trident. They really know how to shred. Also, all the metal shows coming through town like Monotonix [...]

Get to Know: Todd Olson

What are five adjectives that describe you?

Ugh this is the worst question there is. No matter what I put here it’s just going to be how I want people to think of me and not how I actually am. If you really want to get to know me, meet me at a show and you [...]
