This week is for you, to thank you for listening to the station and supporting it every year; it's for the DJs at WTJU, to thank them for volunteering their time and energy so enthusiastically; but ultimately this week is for the station itself--as always, we will be taking pledges and requests throughout the week, and we hope you'll call in. Without the support of the community, WTJU can't hope to maintain its high-quality, free-form programming.
We offer up for your perusal a creative mix of shows devoted to old favorites, new artists, and interesting themes, and even a mini-series on cities of indie rock. There will be two nights of music at Tokyo Rose to kick things off on Wednesday, February 20th and Thursday, February 21st, and Ostinato will play an in-studio show on the last day of the marathon, Friday, March 1st.
We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank those without whom putting together this marathon would not have been possible; the bands: Ostinato, Bats and Mice, The Rah
Bras, Audio Explorations, True Love Always, Skywave, Grandbanks?and Sarah White, Steve Ingram and Gate Pratt for contributing their talent and support?.to Danny Shea for designing this year's t-shirt?to Michelle and Josh for making sure we had the goods to give, to Andy Miller and Jessica Wenger for coming through week after week, to Brandy Savarese for getting us started with this rock director thing, and most of all to Uncle Chuck for having the answers before we'd even thought of the questions.

Fugazi
Tim Ballo
Why travel all the way to
your nearest NFL game just to hear a few measly bars of "Waiting
Room" when you can enjoy the unerring craftsmanship of D.C.'s
finest without the distraction of emotional attachment to the

9-11pm
Caught by the Fuzz
Tim Ballo
Ahh the rich creamy tone
of fuzz, the tastefully textured stucco spackled over the
chicken-wire foundation of 60's garage. But what if the desire to
ruin the clear, respectable tones of properly amplified guitar had
never come to fruition? Perhaps the whole singer-songwriter crisis
could have been averted, but then again, an alternate universe
without that barely audible "click" in the chorus of
"Satisfaction" when Keith's guitar shifts into overdrive
might just be a little too safe.
11pm-1am
The Wonderful and
Frightening World of The Fall
Andy Miller
Has Mark E. Smith lost his
mind or have you finally found yours? Organic, rough-edged pop riffs
repeated for minutes over a din of noise and dance and rockabilly and
punk, all with Smith's slurred ranting fueling the -----. From 1979
to the present, influencing too many, annoying too many, condemning
too many, The Fall deserves your ear, if only to show you what's the
big deal.

4-5pm
Television - Marqee Moon
Jeff Fallis
From the toilets at CBGB's
and the general seediness of the Lower East Side circa 1975 crawled
the band Television, spearheaded by the blistering twin guitar
pyrotechnics of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. Only three albums,
but they're all good. The most elegant of the American punk groups,
Television laid it down like the Venus de Milo in leather and drove
their Cadillac around underneath that marquee moon. Let the guitars
make it all just a little bit better.

Groin Churn
Bridge Cox
In the early 1900's, New
York gang warfare was prevalent?and so thus many kidnappings. A
common torture element was to hold a man down and take a hammer to
one of his testicles... yeah...ouch! Well, actually this has nothing
to do with music, nor does this have to do with metal?it just sounds
painful and full of malice. Past and present of your favorite
metal-kings...that's a MAN OF WAR reference numbskull.

X
Michelle Sasscer
Erupting out of LaLa Land
with a damaging ferocity and heartbreaking distopia, X was a defining
band of early eighties punk. With disconcerting harmonic duets,
slashing rockabilly riffs and unflinchingly honest lyrics, X wrote
the soundtrack to youthful despair that remains all too relevant
today ("The World's a Mess its In My Kiss"). Tune in with
Michelle...it's not a punk history lesson, it's a testament.

Lost Pop of the New Wave
Era
Danny Rowe
If you think current pop
is surprisingly artificial, you weren't paying much attention during
the 1980's. This show will focus on the producers and artists whose
artistic visions (and careers) were all but eradicated by the rise of
grunge in the early 90's. Highlights include unfamiliar classics by
Samantha Fox and Belinda Carlisle, unfamiliar artists like Kylie
Minogue and the Thompson Twins, and if it's a hit you recognize, I
guarantee a 12" club mix you probably haven't heard. Special
emphasis on production trio Stock, Aitken, Waterman!!
