Sunday, February 22nd
1-3 AM
Jawbreaker
Bridge Cox & AJ Pesch
(orange.armada@trackbike.com)
A true story, ugly and forever. The word "sluttering" means a kind of drunk muttering. I actually defined it once as "pontification under duress." There was an angry love triangle and then an elaborate revenge plot designed to incur maximum humiliation. It succeeded horribly and I wound up in the hospital in Concord.
3-6 AM
Timbaland All Night
Andy & the Dinosaurs

We'll cover all his major work with Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, Magoo, Bubba Sparxx, Tweet, Ginuwine, and an endless parade of hit singles, remixes, and... more? Dance all night.

Gary Slater & Friends

We're talkin' Windy & Carl, Glenn Branca, and, of course, the Beach Boys on "Good Vibrations." We're talkin' the Rentals, Perrey & Kingsley, and the Moog Cookbook. Into history, into the obscure, and into some pretty huge hits.... Listen to three hours of awesome noises and catchy tunes.
9 AM – Noon
Al Green: Soul Master
Prof. Bebop & David Eisenman
(dbrogers@cstone.net, dje5y@Virginia.edu)

The Wiggles vs. the White Stripes
Sam Turner & Tony Borash
(sat4n@Virginia.edu, xraydood@yahoo.com)
"Tell Us a Tale" may not be around this week, but we've got a special show for kids and adults alike. The Wiggles make brilliant pop songs for very young children, and the White Stripes make brilliant garage-blues-rock songs for very hip parents. The Wiggles wear blue, purple, red, and yellow; the White Stripes wear red and white. The Wiggles are a quartet that sings about food and dancing, and the White Stripes are a duo that sings about love and sickness. They are all millionaires, and they each embrace simplicity as a musical virtue. Choose a side, or just spend some family time rocking out with WTJU!
2-5 PM
Just Some of Bob Dylan’s Blues
Radio Wowsville

Other Fish In the Sea II: Songs About Breaking Up
Brian Campbell
(brianfantastic@hotmail.com)
Two hours of songs to remind you you're better off without him or her anyway. Songs by the heartbroken, songs by the heartbreaker--you'll cry your little eyes out, punch out a mirror, wrap your hand in a towel, and fall asleep crying some more. But in the morning, you'll feel better.
11 PM – 1 AM
Trucker Songs: A Wowsville Tribute
"Big Rig" Magill & "Hauler" Harrison
(harrisond@mindspring.com, tyler0032@aol.com)
Do you know all the words to "Teddy Bear"? Do the smell of diesel fumes and BP Plaza corndogs make you nostalgic for a certain kind of weepy country & western tune? Well, ride shotgun with Clem, Harve & Pistol Petey for two hours of crate-haulin' and feel the power of a big rig and a good cry. We know you¹ll want to spare some loose change in honor of the working man and for community radio in Central Virginia (also in the memory of the late, great Claude Akins and the cast of NBC's "Movin' On." It was the greatest trucker show on television, don¹t know why they canceled it).

Rob Nowicki
(rbn7s@Virginia.edu)
The boys from Chulmondeley-on-Super-Weston-Mare have been churning out highly literate psycho-crypto-Beatlesque-Kinkoid-folk-rock, with that certain English je-ne-sai-quoi, for nigh on a 1/4 of a century. They have fans in high, middle and low places--of all ages and persuasions.

Matt Combs, George Dayton, & Mike Stock

Johnny Boy has brought you punk rock via the Mekons, death to country via the gritty Waco Brothers, his own death and dismemberment style of country, and the band that has an infinite membership, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts.

3-4 PM
Numbers -- Live!
Dominic DeVito
(dominicdevito@hotmail.com)
From the Numbers website: "Numbers are rich college kids who think they're really cool and play whatever the latest trend is." Ha, they're so clever! Seriously folks, Numbers are a devastasting three-piece from San Francisco who rock the house with a spastic blend of electronics and brash minimalist post-punk. More addictive than Friendster and certainly fun enough to merit a spot opening for the BBC News Hour. Listen and call in, or come by the station and we'll set up a dance party in the corner.

The Jam aren't that band--they're better. Hear tracks from four of the best rock and roll records ever, as well as the livest live cuts and raring-est rare material.

Andrew Blossom

She's the best, ya dig? THE PIXIES. THE BREEDERS. THE... ok, well, maybe the Amps weren't so hot, but you get the picture. She's the dark angel behind the most influential rock music of the last 15 years. She's beautiful, she's perplexing, she can throw back a beer like nobody's business. She's Kim Deal. Be there.

Power Pop
Alex Schaffer
(abs9c@virginia.edu)
Not tough enough to be punks and not soft enough to be simple pop, some bands of the late 70s and early 80s were given the label Power Pop.

Throwing Muses
Ginny Barrett

Expect to hear all the good stuff from all corners of the Muses' universe.... Ginny Barrett brings you The Real Ramona.

Mountain Goats
Andrew Blossom & Thomas Kane
(hyenano17@hotmail.com)
Spread out your maps and ready your watermelon liquor as Andrew and Thomas follow the Mountain Goats from Ghana to Soviet Georgia, all the while nursing a healthy methamphetamine addiction. Better than a Heaven 17 revival, on par with watching the Chicago Cubs take it all the way to the top. Selling acid is a bad idea. Selling it to a cop is a worse one.

Bring us your abject and fractured sounds. We dare you.
3-6 AM

Explore the wit, the whimsy, the quirkiness, the eeriness, the passion, the despair, and the myth behind the Residents and their Theory of Obscurity. It’s a journey that embarks from a small Louisiana college and travels to California, New Jersey, Western Europe and Japan. There’ll also be side trips to MOMA and Mount Rushmore, to MTV and the Discovery Channel, to Pee-Wee’s Playhouse and to certain run-down trailers at an infamous carnival freak show. Along the way we’ll meet collaborators such as Snakefinger Lithman, Renaldo & the Loaf, Negativland, the mysterious N Senada and even a runaway Gingerbread Man!
6-9 AM
The Whistlestop Café
Gary Slater
(gss3k@Virginia.edu)
A three-hour parade of songs throughout rock history that feature some sort of whistling and/or clapping. Of all the human capacities for sound and melody, whistling has its own place. It's primal, pure, and can take the frustrations of daily life and boil them away in a wordless twitter! Plus, such great songs: "Jealous Guy," by John Lennon, "Big Chief," by Dr. John, and so on...
9 AM - 12 Noon
The Sound of Philadelphia
Steve Rappoport
(sr2r@virginia.edu)
Take a trip up I-95 and back into soul music history about thirty years with the Sound of Philadelphia. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, the Spinners, the Delfonics, and even disco groups like the Trammps composed an illustrious list of primarily African American talent that succeeded Motown in terms of sales and radio play. Whether you love singing "The Love I Lost" or grooving to Archie Bell and the Drells, The Sound of Philadelphia has something to get your day at the office started on the right note.
12-2 PM
Redneck Rampage!
Morgan McLeod, Matt Combs & George Dayton

Just like I told my gram-paw: "...ain't a party y'all want to
miss."

All Things George Harrison
Aer Stephen & Jayson Whitehead
(h20face@aol.com, jaysonw@gadflyonline.com)
George Harrison’s December 2001 death sparked a revival of interest in his music that continues to spread. A posthumous album, “Brainwashed,” is up for three Grammys, and this February will see the release of the box set “Dark Horse Years: 1976-1992.” Harrison was the forgotten member of the Beatles, but after the group’s demise, Harrison released his mea culpa. Produced by Phil Spector, the three-LP “All Things Must Pass” was filled with great songs and backed by a band that included Eric Clapton. Harrison’s later music alternates between two poles, caustic and sublime, and it’s almost always original. This program will navigate through Harrison’s oeuvre, picking out the gems of his musical career, from Beatle throwaways to solo songs and his material with the Traveling Wilburys. These will complement more familiar tunes like “Taxman” and “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth).” For a comprehensive sweep of the Quiet Beatle's career, tune into “All Things George Harrison.”

New Zealand: Music and Sound
Scott Matthews
(sm3mb@Virginia.edu)
Despite its small population and geographic isolation, New Zealand has produced a vibrant, diverse, and globally influential underground music culture. The distinctive "kiwi pop" sound, though commerically underappreciated, influenced American independent rock stalwarts such as Barbara Manning and Pavement, while its improvisational and "noise" scene has been championed by people like Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth. Tune into the lilting pop of the Bats and the Chills, the pastoral ambience of guitarist Roy Montgomery and Dadamah, the nihilistic rock of the Dead C and Gate, the sound collage of Omit and Dean Roberts along with many others. You'll hear heavenly pop hits and "hell-spawned" noise, Flying Nun and Xpressway Records, music and sound from the North and South Island.

Rock Without Words
Ron Povich
(rpovich@crosslink.net)
If you are tiring of all the talk that WTJU must lay on you during fund-raising time, this program may be a slight respite. At least the music will be without words. On Friday, February 27, tune in to Rock Without Words, instrumental rock from the last half century, and pledge your support for diverse rock programming on WTJU, the sound choice in central Virginia.
12-2 PM
Touch and Go vs.
Dischord
Jeff Carlin & Jeff Oishi
(jc4qn@Virginia.edu,
jo8c@Virginia.edu)
Middle America and the Washington Elite...
an Election Year special! Celebrate the bitter partisanship and
unchecked rancor that only every fourth year brings by tuning in to
this punk rock debate. Jeff "The Puma" Carlin will bring
the midwestern
firebrand populism of the Touch and Go catalog,
while Jeff "The Insider" Oishi will dish out the polished
post-punk of DC's Dischord records. Hear the classic '80s hardcore of
Fugazi, Rites of Spring, and The Nation of Ulysses mashed up with the
pre-math rock musings of Big Black, the Jesus Lizard, and Killdozer.
There'll be precious little time for memory lane, however: up and
comers from both labels like the Black Eyes, TV on the Radio, and Q &
Not U will rearrange your face with
their angles and anger. Or we
may just give up and play Spiderland and Repeater in their
entirety...at the same time. No matter who wins, your ears will ring
the same tone.
2-4 PM
Reggae Bashment
Goldfinger & Jah-T
(dreadneck@nexet.net)

Pledge & Play Drums!!
Sam Turner
(sat4n@virginia.edu)
Everyone wants to play the drums; everyone wants a drummer for their band; everyone agrees Keith Moon was a lot cooler than Roger Daltrey. If you don't know how to play, don't worry: it's easier than it looks. If you make a pledge of $15 or more to WTJU this week and pay it, and you ask to "Pledge & Play Drums," you can come into our studios this Friday, February 27th and play the drums live, on the air, for a couple minutes. It's that cool. Tune in at 7 PM and see what Community Radio REALLY sounds like.
