Some audiocandy+radio members and supporters are going to hit the streets of Washington, D.C. today to talk to the community, spread the love and gather information for a new special we’ll be calling “snapshots.”
Since ac+r is all about letting you help define what your music community is, we decided to hit the streets to find out what people are listening to on the daily. We’ll be choosing to feature five people a week, sharing their photo and their favorite music.
If you see us on the streets, hit us up for some free ac+r temporary tattoos!
Better yet, come out and chill with us at Bossa in Adam’s Morgan (2463 18th St NW) tonight, where host of Buckets of Rain Zack Lowe will be performing as well as sugar-free featured Woo and Yellow Dubmarine. Music starts around 9.
To keep up with where we are at all day, follow our “twitter-prints” (think footprints.)@audiocandyradio. You can also tweet us for more information.
The lovely Ms. Michelle Clements has took time out of her busy textile-design studies to design some killer t-shirt designs for audiocandy+radio.
Buy them at our online Skreened shop, where all the merchandise is printed with environmentally-safe inks on American Apparel shirts. You can even switch up which type of shirt/sweatshirt/bag you want the design on!
Does anybody find new music on the television anymore? It seems like today everybody uses websites like pandora or music sites like pitchfork, hell even youtube, to “discover” new music, but remember way back when music was on the tellie? Channels like THE BOX existed and a little known channel called MTV actually played music… oh late 90’s, what a strange time you were. I am here to tell you that there is still plenty of good music to be found on the tv, but it is in the place you would least expect it, and though it seems like it should be wrong it is sooo right! I present to you, the TV commercial! the new venue for the emerging artists of the world! This is a great place to showcase new artists, who may not get airplay on popular radio, give money and support to these artists, and to now expense to the listener (unless you are actually going to buy the shit that the song is in the commercial for). I have been noticing over my many years, but most recently when i encountered the Phoenix single 1901 in a Cadillac commercial. Phoenix is a band that i really hadn’t listened or payed attention to, as it hasn’t really been my flavor for many years, but after hearing them in the commercial i checked them out, and enjoyed the hell out of their music. This isn’t the first time this has happened to my (maybe i’m just weird) it also happened with a Samsung commercial with the song Daydreamin’ by Lupe Fiasco feat Jill Scott (PHILLY!) and a sample from I Monster, which has since i saw it around 2 years ago become one of my favorite groups. It also happened with the song California Soul by Marlena Shaw in a docker’s commercial. I believe that the start of this phenomenon-enon started with the ipod commercials such as fiest’s – 1234. Needless to say this is great for the artists exposure, and actually puts good music on the television again!
i know i didn’t write about what i said at the end of my last rant, but hell if you leave no feedback you better not know what to expect.
If you’re an artist and would like your art to be featured on an ac+r shirt, e-mail Paige at paige@audiocandyradio (subject line: ac+r merch design). All artists will recieve due credit on the back of the t-shirt (name and website, if applicable).
College basketball is often the only thing that gets Americans through the harshest part of the winter. Days and nights spent cheering on almamaters and sizing up the competition all to end in the glorious sports competition that is the NCAA playoffs, aka March Madness.
Music fans get the short end of the stick if they aren’t into sports, wallowing dark days away to Bon Iver’s Blood Bank EP or something equally as morose.
But consider this a new day for music fans, and hopefully the start of an awesome audiocandy+radio tradition.
ac+r will be running a contest known as “summer fest fever,” similar to the strategtic team placement of NCAA brackets but with a musical twist (and without some crazy form). Pick 15 bands that you think will be performing at Bonnaroo 2010, and whomever has the most correct band selections wins an ac+r prize pack!
So, how to play:
E-mail Paige@audiocandyradio.com with your 15 band selections of who you think will be performing at Bonnaroo 2010. Make the e-mail subject line read, “summer fest fever.” Be sure to include your name, e-mail, phone number and location.
You will receive one point for every correct guess you make regardless of that band’s status (headliner vs local stage).
In the event of a tie, those participants’ names will be put into a hat and drawn at random.
The winner will receive an ac+r prize pack, consisting of an ac+r shirt of his or her choice and two tickets to a local DMV show (TBA).
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail Paige@audiocandyradio.com!
In light of the blizzard, the Dearing sisters will host a special two-hour “snowed in” show starting at 12:30pm EST. Grab some hot cocoa and turn on ac+r while you hang with your family.
Chelsea chose to make this a white themed show in honor of the winter wonderland outside. She’s a natural-born audiocandy+radio dj. It must be in the Dearing blood.
