September Music Appreciation ~ Radio Studio Focus: WFUV 21Sep23

Fordham University's NPR-affiliated WFUV in New York City is one of my favorite radio studios posting well produced live music to YouTube.

There are other great radio studios of course; I profiled them before because during the pandemic, these stations' productions were some of the only live music we were allowed. They continue to be a great source of new music for me. WFUV is advantaged with their location of course and I'll just roll through a number of good recent drops on their channel as examples. Know that in each case below there are other songs in the bands' sets from their sessions.

Pop Music Fever Dream "Control" 21Jun23 Good post-punk chaos from Brooklyn. EP is "Songs For Promoters." 

Grouplove "All" 02Aug23 Classic Grouplove ~ band is very solid and consistent. Latest LP is "I Want It All Right Now."  

Natalie Merchant "Carnival" Live @ Sheen Center 12Jul23 Yep, still fabulous at 60. Almost 10 yrs since there was new material like her latest LP "Keep Your Courage."


Bully "Lose You" 06Jun23 Strong alt sound; good voice & writing. Latest LP, of 4, is "Lucky for You."

Heavy Heavy "Go Down River" Live @ Rockwood 01May23 Recent team from Brighton, UK bringing it old school. New expanded LP "Life And Life Only" drops soon.

The New Pornographers "Really Really Light" 08Mar23 Light travel team crushes it ~ big concerts feature Nico and others too. Latest LP is "Continue As A Guest" ~ I have the vinyl so the pic is too but if you get digital you can score 24bit/96KHz flac.

So yeah... just from the samples here this summer you see WFUV, the Fordham University Voice, gets great acts, mixes the sound well, and is always on my plate to see what's been posted.
