The cat is out of the bag: Name That Show is back at its third college radio station. Professor D puts the rad in radio. Airing on WUMD Tuesday afternoons at 1PM, previewing new music each week and playing unheard jams from now and earlier. Class is out but the Professor is in; with this eclectic…
Most of the top 20 of the year countdown. Missing the bottom 7, which, is like crucial. W/E. https://twitter.com/i/moments/811429845225930752
DJ Prof D debuts a "new" track from Animal Collective; also The Postal Service, Mutual Benefit, an anecdote about "Ms. Jackson" (you WON'T believe it!), a Beyonce-collaboration that's one for the ages!
Sort of a Thanksgiving episode, sort of a winter reverie. DJ Prof D makes a strong case for a thrown-away Jay Z song being the ultimate Thanksgiving Anthem.
Back from a bit of a break! Here's a short one, to make up for the loooong slog through DJ Prof D's musical history. Few tunes to set the mood for the weeks to come.
The final part of DJ Professor D's musical autobiography. Includes a ridiculous rap song, some sad songs, some happy ones, and one hell of an ending: blues and all, back to Northeastern Ohio the right way.
Hop back on the nostalgia train with DJ Professor D in this week's episode showcasing the all important jamz that got him through his wild undergraduate days at Otterbein College, where he made his live radio debut on WOBN, the first home of NAME THAT SHOW! Follow him on his journey away from high school friends and favorite songs "Furr," and "Lost Coastlines" by Blitzen Trapper & Okkervil River respectively to new music from old favorites (like "I & Love & You" by The Avett Brothers or second and third albums from The Gaslight Anthem). Go on three summers worth of discovery as then DJ Tonytoughnuts discovers Coheed & Cambria, an impossible to ignore favorite on the iPod even today, for the first time, or "My Girls" by Animal Collective during freshman year. Hear music from The Dead Weather, flash in the pan side project Broken Bells, first cuts into a deep love of hip hop which resulted in a long time away from old indie and punk classics. We'll leave off in the moments before DJ Professor D packs his bags and heads to San Francisco for next week's episode!
