Summer School With CM101!

CM101 has returned to Friday night from 6 pm to 8 pm. Please join our class either in person, through the radio, or virtually through the archive. TA David will hand out pop-music quizzes and various guests won't show. I also want you to check out my favorite debut show, Needles and Pins, as well as old favorites Set Records to Stun (formerly Time Out for Alphabet, formerly Time Out for Fun and Alphabet), Say Yes! to Music, Let Them Eat Cake, Nashville Mixtapes, Pimp's Jukebox, One Part Harmony, Sounds of the Bayou, Assorted Fruits and Cheeses, Pocket Ninjas, Hipbilly Jamboree, and D-Funk. I'll miss seeing Annie of Antennas to Heaven around the station (this is her last semester, so please check out her last few shows if you don't already listen) and hearing former teaching assistant Cathy on Gracie the Bluegrass Show, because she's taking a brief hiatus.

If you miss class, you better have a good excuse (and don't sign it Epstein's Mother)!

CM101 Now on Fridays 7 pm to 8 pm on Fridays

For the Spring (Winter) 2009 semester, CM101 will air on Fridays from 7 pm to 8pm (just before one of CM101's favorite shows, D-Funk). It may slightly run over occasionally if D-Funk needs extra time to set up. I hope to feature much more classic college rock from the 70s and 80s (especially from Nashville and the South) as well as more of your requests.

In addition to attending class, I strongly urge you to audit other great classes at WRVUniversity, especially the following: the entire Friday night lineup including Mike the TA's new show (Half Psyched, airing just after D-Funk, and featuring psychedelic classics next to regular rotation), Say Yes! to Music (Saturdays 9 pm to 10 pm for the best in new music from former TA Kate), Gracie the Bluegrass Show (Sundays 2 pm to 4 pm for the best in bluegrass from former TA and cosmic cowgirl Cathy), Pimp's Jukebox (Tuesdays 1 am to 2 am--for you insomniac fans of CM101), Let Them Eat Cake (Wednesdays 9 pm to 11 pm featuring songs throughout the entire history of recorded music), Time Out for Alphabet (two great shows that now go great together), and the entire Sunday night lineup (Assorted Fruits and Cheeses from 6 pm to 7 pm, Nashville Mixtapes from 7 pm to 8pm, Sounds of the Bayou from 8 pm to 10 pm, and Seagulls Over Nashville from 10 pm to 11 pm).

CM101 Continues Through the Summer at Same CM101 Time, Same CM101 Station

We've stayed at the same time for this semester: Fridays from 6pm Central to 8 pm Central. Perry Talley has returned to the airwaves with One Part Harmony. Friend of the show (and arch-nemesis of Professor G) Grigsby has also returned from his hiatus with Time Out for Fun. Former teaching assistant Kate has her own show now called Say Yes! to Music on Tuesdays from 2 pm to 4 pm, and former teaching assistant Cathy continues the fine tradition of George the Bluegrass Show with the second semester of Gracie the Bluegrass Show. Ashley has taken on a one-hour lunchtime shift on Thursdays from noon to 1pm, and Marc Hill continues his work with New Wave Smackdown on Saturdays from 6 am to 9 am. I haven't heard from former teaching assistants John and Melanie or Scott, but I assume the best. Lucy sends her love via lots of licks.

CM101 Now on Friday Nights!!!

Oh, yeah! Now you can get ready for the night and weekend ahead or wind down from a hectic work/school week with a little CM101! This semester promises much more classic college-radio material from the eighties and late seventies and a looser and freer style. My favorite associate professor will join me, and I hope to have plenty of guests.

Good luck to my teaching assistants from last semester as they spend this semester abroad. Dr. Talley is working hard on all of his other responsibilities, but I'm hoping he'll check in from time to time.

Please check out the rest of the fine shows on 91 Rock, WRVU Nashville--especially the ones hyperlinked on the right. Lucy sends her love, which means lots of licks and tail wags.

Japanese College Music

An old friend from days at WRAS (Album 88) in Atlanta, b-chan, recorded a podcast for Anime Weekend Atlanta and I thought you might want to check it out. The direct download link is: http://www.awapodcast.com/podcast/AWAPodcastepisode4MusicSpecial.mp3.

She's on after the introduction, spinning tracks by The Captains (60s rock 'n' roll), The Emeralds (lighting fast rock 'n' roll, her favorite band), and Peelander-Z (comic action punk). All three bands are on tour together
later this week leading up to AWA.

We've Returned to Saturday Afternoons!

The show is back on Saturday afternoons from 1 pm Central to 3 pm. Dr. Talley may join us for some sessions this semester as well as some other wonderful guests. WRVUniversity has also assigned not one but two new teaching assistants. Please also check out Alphabet on Tuesday mornings from 7 am to 8 am, Time Out for Fun on Thursdays from 6 am to 8 am, and Cyberterranean on Friday evenings from 6 pm to 7 pm.

New Show Time: Saturday Mornings 7 am to 9 am Central Time

We've joined the WRVU Morning Zoo Crew (proud home of Alphabet and Time Out for Fun) as a weekend session! Now you can annoy your neighbors with CM101 while doing yard work, walking the dog, watching Saturday morning cartoons with the sound turned off, settling down from the night before, or gearing up for the day ahead.

If you don't want to get up that early for class, you can virtually attend class any time during the week by accessing the archive from here: http://wrvu.org/collegemusic.ram.

One Part Harmony is on temporary hiatus, and I hope Dr. Talley will enlighten and inform us this semester with his exquisite taste and musical knowledge. Cathy the TA has her own class, Cyberterranean, on Thursday evenings from 6 pm to 7 pm Central Time. I also highly recommend Dr. Mitch's class, Sounds of the Bayou, on Sunday evenings from 10 pm until midnight for the best in Cajan and zydeco music.

New Time for the Spring Semester!

The show will now air on Saturday afternoons from 1 pm to 3 pm Central time (2 pm to 4 pm for friends and family on Eastern time). I hope this means more guests can stop by and more folks can tune in to Nashville's best kept secret (besides my favorite Mexi restaurant). If you have ideas for future themes, please let me know. In related news, Dr. Talley's One Part Harmony will stay in its Sunday morning slot from 8 am to 10 am and Cathy the TA's Cyberterranean will stay on Wednesdays from 8 am to 9 am. Please check those shows out as well.
