Rockin’ Out With Simon – No Boring Things 2/19/2022

Playlist Cover

I put together a set of absolute bangers – credit goes to DJ Joshua for inspiring me to do this when he played Detroit Rock City on his show. Catch him on Mondays from 1 to 2 PM.

Playlist from this week – minus two songs by Eat because they’re not on Spotify.

This was the second-to-last day of WCBN’s annual fundraiser, so I played “Squat” and “Little Country” by Eat to make sure people knew they really can’t hear some of this stuff anywhere else. And because they’re great songs. Towards the end of the show, my friend and fellow WCBNer surprised me (literally, I got startled by him walking around the record shelves) by coming into the studio. After some prying, I got a recommendation out of him: Siberian Khatru by Yes. Tune in next week for another guest – my brother, Sam!

WCBN Valentines – No Boring Things 2/12/2022

The show was only one hour long this week, due to WCBN Sports’ live broadcast of the hockey game (go blue!). I did some vaguely valentine-themed programming, but most importantly, this was the first of two fundraiser shows. The WCBN fundraiser runs until Sunday the 20th, so tune in on Saturday for more fundraising goodness!

Two Hours of Chaos – No Boring Things 2/5/2022

I got my second hour back! It was a total mess, at least in the second hour. The first hour was all good. Then I tried being adventurous, and that’s where it all went wrong. I took out a CD that said something like “best blues rock artist 2018,” but it turned out a different CD had been put in the case. Then I didn’t even know what genre I had just pulled off the shelf, because when I went to look for the color-code guide, I was greeted by this instead:

Laura found the guide the following day and WCBN was saved (the genre was electronic, by the way).

This week’s playlist – minus the accidental electronic song because it’s not on Spotify. Maybe that’s for the better.

WCBN Sports will be carrying the hockey game on air next week, so I will only be around for an hour. You can also tune in on Wednesday at 7 for Send In the Clowns. I don’t know what we’ll be doing, but I’ll be there. My next show takes place during the WCBN fundraiser! Make a donation and pick up some sweet merch at the donation page.

WCBN-FM’s 50th Birthday! – No Boring Things 1/29/2022

WCBN 50th

Unfortunately, due to a scheduling oopsies, it turns out there wasn’t time for two hours of No Boring Things. I’m frequently on Send in the Clowns, the student rotational show Wednesdays from 7 to 8 PM, so tune in then for more me!

Lots of music from ’72

On January 23, 1972, WCBN-FM went on the air for the first time! Before that, WCBN existed in other forms, but this was when the WCBN-FM we know and love today came to be! Celebrating this, I focused on music released in 1972, with a couple of exceptions. Thanks to those who called in requests, it’s always great to hear from you! Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the WCBN fundraiser, coming soon to wherever you get your freeform radio!
