Help the Knights of Columbus and WLOY support Catherine Savell’s work in Haiti! Spring is here and you know you need a good set of flip flops to properly enjoy it. For the next few Friday’s you can come to the WLOY live broadcast in front of Boulder between 11am and 1pm and score a new set of Loyola flip flops for only $10! All the money raised will go to help build schools and programs in Haiti, in support of Catherine Savell, of Loyola’s Modern Languages Department, who has taken a leave of absence this semester to stay in Haiti and help with their rebuilding. How often can you get flip flops and support a good cause? Quantities are VERY limited so get yours ASAP!!

TOP 40: 3/25
March 24th, 2011 by WLOY Staff
Bright Eyes’ The People’s Key remains at the top of our list, but we do have some newcomers in the psych folk Timbre Timbre, the surfy Hunx and his Punx, and the dreamy Joan as Police Woman. The top 5 remains stagnant, with the unmovable Cold War Kids, Decemberists, and company bolstering Oberst’s top spot; but keep an eye out for DOM, who may be moving into our top 5 very soon!

Pogo Interview
March 24th, 2011 by WLOY Staff
Just before spring break I sat down for a chat with Nick Bertke, better known as Pogo. Pogo has become a Youtube phenomenon with his remixes of Disney/Pixar movies. What makes this music so unique is that Nick takes fragments of music and dialogue from such films as Toy Story and Alice In Wonderland and assembles them into an entirely new song. He edits the videos and music himself, creating a spin on iconic Disney tunes. of his videos have been viewed over a million times on Youtube, yet many people are still unfamiliar with his music. The interview produced some very interesting conversation about his music, including updates on current and future projects.
Pogo’s live show at Bourbon Street was a dazzling spectacle of lights and videos that proved perfect conditions for dancing. His videos played on two TV screens and one giant projection screen on the adjacent wall simultaneously. He efficiently blended his music videos together into a seamless journey from The Little Mermaid (my favorite) to Pirates of the Caribbean (coming soon!) and even Star Wars! I think Pogo is on his way to even greater things. He’s definitely worth a listen!

Lykke Li – Wounded Rhymes
March 23rd, 2011 by WLOY Staff
Lykke Li’s back – and she’s not that cute girl-next-door anymore. The Swedish indie artist has returned with her follow-up to 2008’s infectious Youth Novels, the innovatively moody and sexy Wounded Rhymes. In her sophomore attempt, Li abandons the girl that everyone expected her to be. Gone is the girl who is telling you to “dance, dance, dance.” Gone is the girl who sings on top of light melodies. Li has grown up and out of the bubblegum world – and into a darker place. Read the rest of this entry »
