NYU’s college radio station that I used to host shows on! The New Afternoon Show is their legacy new music show that’s all about music from the last 3 months and it’s on tonight 4-7 PM if the slot hasn’t been moved since I had it. there’s also a revolving door of new folks coming on each semester with their own specialty shows and there’s a bunch of cool podcasts/journalism shows on certain slots as well. i linked their website which has a stream to listen to wherever you’re at if you can’t pick up the local FM signal.
listen to my show, thursdays from 2:30-4am (est)! if you’re in the boston area, tune in to 95.3 fm, otherwise check out the link! the one rule is no playing artists with over 100k monthly listeners (so i’m always taking recs)
This rather obscure 1969 b-side would later become a huge hit in 1971 when it was recorded by The Carpenters with some of its risque lyrics (as well as its title) changed. Written by the great Leon Russel and Bonnie Bramlett and featuring Clapton himself on guitar, this song moves and haunts me everytime I hear it. One of the great melodies in rock history.
My favorite novel of the last year. Once begun, this one is impossible to put down yet you will want it to go on and on. It's about love, sex, family, fame, identity and yes, pain. With an ending so transcendent and full of hope it made me cry.
