*Background music consisted of various instrumentals songs from Bloc Party's past three records: "Silent Alarm", "A Weekend In The City", and most recently, "Intimacy", in honor of their live show at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia on Saturday night. It was biblical.


I know we always say that our show is pretty diverse, but seriously, this edition had EVERYTHING! On the first day of Spring, NMTM delivered. First, let me just say, Jim's surprise dedication of P. Diddy's "Diddy" to his brother, was awesome. Happy 22nd Birthday, Shamus! Moving on: this show was very smooth and solid. We really didn't have any slip ups, which is rare for any college radio show. Our shadower was new this week and helped us with a few announcements and we hope he learned a thing or two about KUR. Our poster depicts what we had in store and the playlist above fills in the rest. We actually had more than enough time to get through our entire list, so Jim grabbed his favorite White Stripes tune and we let it rip on 88.3. We had some hip-hop, some dance, some indie, some punk, and some straight up rock 'n' roll. We hope you all enjoyed. And in case you were wondering, Bloc Party did not disappoint. They brought their A-Game and looked to really enjoy themselves (double encore!). The crowd was rowdy and danced the whole night away. This was our third in a row seeing the band and they put on an amazing live gig. A must-see. So thanks for tuning in/calling in/IMing us and we'll be back next week with another great set!
