Brand Spankin' New Episode, Kiddos!

After a brief hiatus (read: a few weeks of encore presentations of episodes from last year) Psychocandy is back! It's been slightly difficult preparing new episodes as I have taken on the responsibility of producing a five-day-per-week show called Beat City Radio . However, in the midst of that process and preparing for finals, I managed to churn out something new for your listening pleasure. To celebrate the return of the show to its original one-hour length, we have fresh opening and closing themes and the playlist will now be listed in the blog entries, rather than linked to another website. Tonight we'll hear from My Robot Friend, Blaqk Audio, Depeche Mode, Ministry, and more. Enjoy...

Here is the PODCAST

P.S. In the show, I mention Midnight Oil's "Diesel and Dust" as being released in 1989; however, it was released in 1987.

To help you decipher the following information, keep this is mind: Artist - Song - Album - Record Label - Release Year - Other Pertinent Information

The Smiths - Panic - Louder Than Bombs - Sire 1987 - Closing Theme

Tonight's Show and Some Changes

Just a note about tonight's show - it is the first hour of the October 13 broadcast. I decided that everyone should get a chance to hear it over the air since it was pre-empted by Women's Volleyball twice before. Also, from now on, the show will only be an hour long. I'll be hosting another music program on KISU on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons at 4:00. I just don't have enough time to produce that program and continue broadcasting Psychocandy at a two-hour length. That's all for now.

10-13-2007 Focus on new She Wants Revenge - This Is Forever

Well, here's the October 13, 2007 show featuring the sophomore effort from the L.A. based She Wants Revenge. The band is featured in the second hour, as I planned ahead. The first hour of the live broadcast was supposed to get pre-empted, yes, pre-empted by ISU Women's Volleyball!!! Of all things... Anyway, as it turns out, both hours were pre-empted, and the airing of this episode was attempted again the following week with the same results. So, if you tuned in or tried to stream the show on October 13 or October 20, here is some salvation in podcast form. Let me know what you think of this show and/or the latest from SWR. One of the band's latest singles is available for download a couple of posts down. Enjoy...
