colorful nostalgia is all about that yearning for a time that never existed. a love that's slipped by, a euphoric feeling that is better in hindsight, and a life you could've known. at it's most energetic, it's pumped up indie pop that makes you feel alive, and at its most sad girl, it's crying on the bathroom floor. it's filled with all the big emotions that make it all worth it.

here is very little evidence to support the idea that the TSA prevents any contraband from making its way onto flights. Simply put, screening does not prevent shenanigans. An auditory visit to the stacks of the WZBC library!

Welcome to Low End Theory. If I were to describe the aesthetics of Low End Theory as a musical territory or space, its borders would be provided by doom/stoner/psych metal on one side, contemporary prog and prog metal on another, experimental/electronic/folk on a third, and enclosed finally by the long arc of classic and contemporary post-punk that bends towards dub. The mission of this radio show is to conjure a farrago of heavy sonic fictions of sound, words, and music appropriate and fitting to the heaviness of the times. But fear not, this Low End Theory is not dour or depressing; on the contrary, we seek out the joyful and ecstatic in the acoustic depths of the low end’s vibrating, pulsing heart. And who among us does not need some joy anchored in the deep sonority of the low end, especially now?

Hello, hello! This is a show filled with Brazilian contemporary music, in other words, a show of someone kinda homesick trying to explore a bit more about their country. Mostly rock and pop-rock (and hopefully a lot of MPB), but trying to expand to more stuff. Hope you guys join in this journey of exploring a bit of Brazil's culture!

(no lungs were harmed in the making, this radio show does not contain nicotine)
with Moo

Moo's Mixtape is a weekly compilation of anything that falls under the punk umbrella—especially post-punk. The bands are small, the bass is strong, the vocals are punchy, and almost every song sounds like it's coming straight outta the '80s and '90s. Tune in
