Massive Music Weekend!

Once again, the radio station I am part of, WRCT, is doing its “Massive Music Weekend” celebration, where we bury the entirety of the weekend after Valentine’s Day in 60 continuous hours of half-hour blocks of our favorite artists. As usual, I’m doing a few (only five, though, down from last year’s eight!), and a lot more are happening that are interesting, so I’m providing a highlight schedule.

• 1:00p, Friday: Wagon Christ (IDM, sort of trip-hop, acid)
• 10:00p, Friday: Serge Gainsbourg (French pop and jazz)
• 10:30p, Friday: Coil (by me! industrial, experimental)
• 2:30a, Saturday: Pavement (classic indie rock)
• 3:30a, Saturday: Sonic Youth (classic-er indie rock, noise rock)
• 6:30a, Saturday: Tujiko Noriko (by me! Japan’s version of Björk)
