(Not Quite) Under The Covers Podcast!

Yes, tonight's show consists of NO COVER SONGS! GASP! Yeah, I was shocked too. I mean, I just woke up and there was this show prepared and I was like, "hey, where are all the covers?" and the Man said, "SHUT UP OR YOU'LL GO BACK IN THE BOX!" I don't like the box. It's dark in there.

So there's a show not only full of non-covers from indy and mainstream artists who RULE but there's also a CONTEST!

Contest? Oh yes.

How would you like to win lunch for two to Jersey Mike's at 927 West Broad Street or one of two $10 gift certificates to Alternatives at 3320 West Cary Street?

Gimmie a haiku. But not just any haiku, no, we have ourselves a theme.

Tessie Brunet of Deadboy And The Elephantmen is quite attractive. So sayeth the Jason. So sayeth you in a haiku! Yes, give me a wonderful poem in the 5/7/5 syllable format that some dead Japanese guy made famous many years ago (sometime in the '60s I think). Or, if you would rather comment on our semi-attractive host, you can do that! Yes, the same kinda format for a haiku about the one and only Jason Sensation! Need proof of the attractiveness of our topics?

Tessie Burnet is the lady on the left, of course.
That other guy is Dax Riggs. He has nothing to do with our contest.

Jason is sexy.

FIRST PLACE: Lunch for TWO at Jersey Mike's. Each lunch will consist of a sandwich, chips and a drink. Neat!
SECOND and THIRD PLACE: $10 gift certificate for Alternatives Fair Trade Gifts and More

All entries are due at wvcwutc@gmail.com by MIDNIGHT Tuesday, March 7th. (Or is it Wednesday, March 8th? Ah well, the midnight between the two.) Winners will be chosen by Jason and contacted by Thursday when pickup of prizes will be worked out. By entering you are giving me permission to post anything you send me to the WVCW Under The Covers blog. Yes, I get to share with the world. Any opinions stated by the host of UTC, the contestants of this uh... contest, and other people are not shared by WVCW, VCU or anyone else. They're unique.

WVCW - VCU's Independent Student Radio Station

Hmmm.... I'm trying to think of something smart and funny to say and all that comes to mind is that my wallet is brown. Which isn't very amusing or insightful. So I'll avoid the witty banter this evening and just let you know that you can now subscribe to the podcast of not only Under The Covers but ALL of WVCW's great shows (great because not only is it your music but it is also your station) through the WVCW Blog! How cool is that!

You can download individual shows through the site or drop this handy-dandy little RSS feed in your favorite podcast grabber and download the fancy new shows as they're posted:

https://blog.vcu.edu/wvcw/index.xml

How cool is that? Very, if you ask me. And even if you don't ask me, I'll tell you the same.

So check out Under The Covers and Straight BS, both available now on the site, and be sure to keep your eyes open for all of WVCW's sweet specialty programming. How sweet it is.

Joined by the elder Kenney brother Shaun, Under The Covers brings you all the love that cover songs can possibly convey this weekend before Valentine's Day. Not that any real love songs were played. But just the same, a feeling of love was sent out with each one. Sorta like mom's apple pie, only without gonig straight to your hips.

Catch Under The Covers live every Sunday night from 8-9pm at WVCW - Your Music, Your Station

Last weekend's show was great and if you missed it, well, sucks to be you. Sprout came to town and we rocked. The whole thing was such a success that I'm going to try and recreate it with another pal coming through town.

Got some Reel Big Fish, Pete Yorn, Sicssor Sisters, Travis and more lined up for this weekend, folks. Be sure to tune on in and, as always, send in any requests, comments, suggestions, stuff like that to wvcwutc@gmail.com.

See ya Sunday.

Hey, folks, here are the songs you can find for FREE online that I played over the last couple shows. Sorry it took me so long to get them up. No excuses, I'm just lazy.

From the 8/7 show:
ADD Covers Achtung Baby - "Mysterious Ways" (U2)
(Check out the site, the link's right there, as well as links to the rest of the album, all worth a listen.)

Michael Gum - "Toxic" (Britney Spears)
(And be sure to surf around SomeSongs for a bit, lots of neat songs all over the site, covers and originals.)

This will probably see some air time. Just for kicks. You have been warned.

Update

2005-07-12T11:14:00.000-05:00

Hey, folks, just to keep people posted as to the status of Under The Covers, my radio show for WVCW, I plan on returning to the air in August, just in time for the Fall semester to begin.

I've just grabbed a slew of new covers and I'm working on the playlists for the first few shows, but please keep sending in any recomendations for songs to wvcwutc@gmail.com and I'll do my best to get them into rotation.

Thanks for your support and patience and hopefully I'll be back up and running soon.

Hiatus

2005-06-24T13:01:00.000-05:00

Better late than never, I guess. Folks, my apologies, but after only three weeks UTC is going on hiatus. I've got some things to deal with that are interfering with my ability to give you a great show so I'm going to take some time off to work on that and hopefully I'll be back in time for the Fall semester. Take care, and be sure to keep sending in suggestions.

I've Started A Trend

2005-06-05T17:51:00.000-05:00

Before I Forget, because I've done nothing but forget for the last week or so, WVCW's very own Requiem Radio has a dedicated blog now. Get all sorts of dandy updates on the tasty sensations of METAL as well as info on contests and giveaways (I want contests and giveaways...). And while you're doing this websurfing thing, check out RR's host Tim's personal blog wherein he talks more madness about stuff that has less to do with RR and more to do with, well, madness. And life. Can't forget about life. And be sure to shower him with love and praise because I'd hate for him to stop blogging and ruin this little domino effect I hope to cause for all WVCW shows. Imagine, blogs for shows from people you can listen to 24/7. Shucks.

Show Tonight and Looking For A Song

2005-06-05T17:37:00.000-05:00

Tonight at 8pm EST you can catch the newest Under The Covers. Got stuff lined up from Tori Amos, Reel Big Fish, Duran Duran and maybe a little Jackie Chan.

On a side note, I heard a kick ass cover of Britney Spears's "Hit Me Baby One More Time" at a restaurant but no one working there had any idea who the artist was (and no one looked, either). So, does anyone out there know of a guy doing a live acoustic version of this where the crowd sings along at the high pitched parts? If you can find it, I'll give you a cookie. And a shout out on the air. Maybe more, depends on how generous I'm feeling. FOUND IT! Thanks to Jason Tippitt for pointing me to Travis for doing the cover. Expect to hear this one next week.

Catch you all later tonight.

Be sure to check out Supermasterpiece.com for a lot of great stuff from music to comics to just stuff, including this week's song "Oops I did it Again!" as sung by "Louie Armstrong". Kinda.

UPDATE: Need to figure out how to balance the sound throughout the whole show. Some songs are MUCH louder than others. I'll work on that.
