a (brief) summer hiatus for what’s good

hey, you guys! so summer is just around the corner! summer vacation is so close, i can taste it. (it tastes a lot like a gin & tonic.)

anyway, i just wanted to let you guys know that what’s good will be taking the briefest of summer breaks for the next couple of weeks. tuesday, june 8, is my LAST DAY OF SCHOOL of my first year teaching. as you can imagine, i am going to party that night. i am going to party hard that night. as much as i would love to live-dj said partying, i will likely be at a bar and unable to do so. SAD FACE. please excuse my absence on that night and understand that I DESERVE THIS.

the week after that, june 15, i have a previously-scheduled meeting which i must attend during my tuesday timeslot. so, unfortunately, no show that night, either.

but i’ll be back! i promise! mark your calendars for june 22. that’s when i return. i’m sure i’ll have A TON of great music to share with you guys from the past couple of weeks. and don’t worry! i’ll keep blogging my little heart out. i’ll let you know about new tracks, post some album reviews, and maybe even some show reviews. WHO KNOWS!

enjoy your start of summer. i know i will.

NYT’s sprawling M.I.A. profile

Maya’s got the world at her fingertips as of late with a rock-infused single and its ginger-hating video. She followed that up with her poppiest tune to date, surprise-attacked a Sleigh Bells show in Brooklyn and gave details on the release of her new album, /\/\/\Y/\.

BREATHE, M.I.A.

Now, the indie hip-hop goddess has landed the cover story of the coming week’s New York Times Magazine, a sprawling, nine-page profile of arguably the hottest and biggest woman in music today.

Check it out while you wait for /\/\/\Y/\‘s release via her label N.E.E.T. on July 13.

New Arcade Fire – “The Suburbs” and “Month of May”

Arcade Fire have been very secretive about the release of their new single. Here’s what we knew, before today: the A-side would be “The Suburbs” with “Month of May” as the b-side. It would be available on 12″ vinyl. It had a reported release date of June 1.

Well, all of that info became moot today when the two songs leaked online. Some independent record stores in the US and the UK stocked the 12″ single a little early and, naturally, some radio DJs (namely BBC1) got their hands on it.

“The Suburbs” is a sprawling, escalating piano ballad, akin to “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels).” “Month of May” has a harder, edgier rock sound. Listen to them both via the links below. Buy the 12″ at your local premature-stocking indie record store or anywhere else on Tuesday. No word yet on a full-length LP from the Canadian troupe, but with tons of festival dates lined up for the summer, I doubt these two songs are all we’re hear from Win Butler & cetera.

Discuss in comments.

a what’s good announcement

hey, you guys! i’ve got some good news and some bad news.

let me hit you with the bad news first: what’s good will be ceasing its thursday broadcasts and switching to a once-a-week-format show. there are many reasons behind this change for the show, but the main one is this: time. as my first year of teaching winds down, my schedule is CRAZY planning end-of-year things and gearing up for summer. i’ve been finding it difficult to fit in the time to produce two quality shows per week and i always feel drained on thursdays and like i’m not giving you guys, my loyal listeners, the type of show you deserve. i know i can continue to put together a solid show for you guys once per week.

the good news! i will be broadcasting on both tuesday and thursday of this week! this is your last chance to catch a thursday edition of what’s good, so i expect our listener numbers to be THROUGH THE ROOF that night. after this week, i’ll be live, on-air every tuesday night from 6-8.

this was a really tough decision for me because i absolutely love the show, love putting it together and love broadcasting it. i get such a thrill out of putting music i love out there for the world to hear, and i want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for being there twice a week for the magic of music. hopefully over the summer or once school kicks back into gear this fall i’ll be able to commit to two shows per week again. and hell, who knows, maybe some thursday night i’ll be feeling nostalgic and do an impromptu broadcast for old time’s sake. but until then, tune in this tuesday and thursday, then after that, every tuesday night for what’s good, only here on audiocandyradio.

xoxo, heath

Some What’s Good Announcements

Hey, you guys! I’ve got some VERY SPECIAL announcements about the show. There will unfortunately be no What’s Good for the next two Tuesdays, March 16 and 23.

And I promise extra-special shows to make up for my two absences.

ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Saturday, March 20, I will be hosting a live, on-air dance party. We’re having a party here at my house in Hartford and I decided it would be cool to broadcast the music live on audiocandyradio so that even if you’re HUNDREDS OF MILES away, you can be a part of the party, too. So mark your calendars for Saturday, March 20 at 10 p.m., invite some people over for a party, and get your dancing shoes on.
