From here on out, we plan on bringing you themed days i.e. classic rock day, 90s day, etc. In addition we might even install call-in features. So get excited.

On today’s show, I bring to you music that I currently have on my playlists.  This music I can rock out to with my roommate, John Liu, study to, or even listen to on the way to class.  So it’s pretty varied in genre and nature as you may be able to tell. Hopefully you like at least one of these songs!

Alex Winston

Sounds Like: Lykke Li, Tegan & Sara, Tennis

Alex Winston has been making the rounds of most music blogs these days and for good reason. The singer was originally trained in opera singing and is just now bringing her talents to another musical realm, a move that is greatly appreciated by most. This outsider feel to her story shines through on every song, she’s not simply trying to blend in, she’s quirky and a little out there but the balance she’s found between the two is seemingly perfect.

She’s already released a couple mini EP’s in the past couple of years called The Sister Wife EP and The Basement Covers EP and Winston is set to release a full debut album January 12, and I promise this is a date to mark.

For anyone who’s a fan of pop friendly indie music, Winston’s breezy tunes mixed with her sometimes dark lyrics might be perfect. One of my favorites of hers is a remix of one of her better-known tunes “Velvet Elvis” done by RAC, though there’s another amazing remix by another one of my favorites, Darwin Deez. Try and listen to any of her songs without becoming enchanted by her voice.

The first words out of singer Satomi Matsuzaki’s mouth at September 28th’s Deerhoof show at the Haunt, defines the show pretty well.  It was a dreary, rainy night.  It was in the middle of the week.  It started late.  It followed some ill-received openers.  Attendees needed some rescuing, and, for the most part, Deerhoof delivered.

The show opened with songs off their latest album, ‘Deerhoof Versus Evil,.’ and then progressed to songs older favorites such as ‘Offend Maggie,’ and ‘Milk Man,’ off of albums of the same name.  While Deerhoof’’s sound is inherently inconsistent, jumping from dreamy to thrashing to long art-rock intercessions, the one thing that didn’t change was their quirky energy.  At times, it seemed like everyone was in their own world—Greg Saunier’s contorted face unwaveringly glaring at a (surprisingly small) drum kit, guitarists Ed Rodriguez and John Dieterich turning their backs to the audience and each other, bassist and vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki staring straight ahead, acknowledging no one. Still, despite complex timing and seemingly random breaks, the music came out incredibly tight.  This is a band with great chemistry, and it showed. 

When Deerhoof finished their set, the crowd demanded an encore.  When they finished the encore, the crowd chanted one more song, one more song.  Clearly, as far as music goes, the concert did not disappoint.  However, for how much the crowd apparently enjoyed the music, many attendees were eerily still.  No one would argue that Deerhoof’’s music is particularly danceable, but how so many people can put their hands in their pockets and stare blankly at high energy songs, like “The Perfect Me,” is unexplainable.  A few booty-shakers (in particular a grey-bearded man) let Deerhoof rescue them by allowing the music take them over.  For everyone else?  I blame the rain.  Or Xanax.

- There was a huge reverb on the mic, sorry about the inconvenience. We will get better as we go on with more of L!STEN

I distinctly remember the type of sounds you are about to hear from my childhood. Walking down ancient streets at night with my family during the summer, we would hear these alien sounds emanating like ghosts from Greek Orthodox churches, the sound of cantors leading hymns and melodic prayers, propelled by the unearthly acoustics of these sacred structures.

I would tell my parents that I was terrified of this music–but it was not true fear, now that I think of it. It was, in fact, a feeling that I was witnessing something of the supernatural. No human, I thought, could produce these rich, deep tones. Religious music often is designed to have this effect. A feeling of spiritual transmigration through sound.

This mix features recordings new and old, from a variety of sources. The first half of the show is devoted to modern recordings of hymns from various annual feasts, and the second half delves into some more obscure, Byzantine chanting which is sure to inspire in you a similar feeling of awe as I felt when I was a kid.

Access a streaming mp3 of this mix above, and below is a tracklist.

1. Apolytikion – From the Feast of the Holy Theophony of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, January 6^th.

2. Kontakion – Also from the feast of the Holy Theophony, and reflects upon the spiritual emergence of Christ, here described as an “unapproachable light”

3. Megalynaria of The Presentation of Christ – This hymn comes from the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, Feb. 2^nd

4. Katavasies of the Annunciation – From the feast of the Annunciation of our Most Holy Lady and Ever Virgin Mary, March 25^th

5. Kontakion of the Feast of St. Demetrios the Myrrh-Streamer – From the Feast of St. Demetrios, Oct. 26^th

6. Apolytikion of the Nativity of Christ – From the Feast of the Nativity, Dec. 25^th

7. Katavasies for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross – From the Feast of the Exaltation of the precious and life-giving Cross, Sept. 14^th

8. Phos Hilaron (Hail Gladdening Light) – One of the oldest examples of Byzantine Hymn, dating from the 3rd of 4^th century. It describes the vanishing of physical light, and the activation of an even brighter light—that of wisdom.

9. Contakion of the Akathist Hymn – Performed by Iakovos Nafpliotis

10. Anastaseos Hmera (Doxastikon of Easter) – Performed by Leonidas Asteris

11. Kekragarion (Second Soft Chromatic Mode) – Performed by Theorodos Stanitsas

12. Polyelos “Douloi Kyrion” – Performed by Danielaioi / Thomades, in the style of Mt. Athos

13. Dynamis of Georgios Kres – Performed by Demetris Nerantzis

14. Agios, Agios (Hepinikios Hymn) – Performed Maistores Choir (directed by Gr. Stathis)

Hence the need for quality study music. Sometimes, the only things that keep me going during those long, cold all-nighters in Uris are my headphones. So I lurked in the library and found out what people were listening to and shared some of my personal favorite study jams.

Your Ipod

TLC-“Diggin’ on You”

John Peters was sitting in Olin Café on Sunday evening listening to this song. “I like R&B and Hip Hop from the 90s,” he explained. TLC are my girls! I have been known to break out into “Waterfalls” in that signature rasp of theirs (we’ll always miss you, Lisa Left-Eye Lopez!).

Beirut-“Elephant Gun”

From behind her pink earbuds, Emilie Stewart ’14 said of this song, “When I study I like to listen to mellow music, that can serve as a relaxing background. That’s the central reason that ‘Elephant Gun’ is always on the top of my libe jams playlist.” The lead singer of Beirut’s voice is very smooth and melodic, excellent to calm you down just before a big prelim.

Foster the People-“Pumped up Kicks”

“It doesn’t have a lot of words… like rap I find really difficult to listen to when I’m studying because of all the words. It’s upbeat, and I get sad when I do work so I need happy music,” AJ Velarde ’14 said of this recent hit. I’m a big fan of this song, it’s kind of addicting and upbeat with just the right amount of mellow to not be super distracting when you’re working.

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis- “Song for Jessie”

This week, I learned that at 5pm on Friday, Olin café is not quite a hip-hopping spot. But there are some hard-core studiers, like Nadi Tofighian, a visiting PhD candidate from Stockholm University. He said, “It’s from a great soundtrack and it’s solemn, it’s instrumental so it complements the reading activity quite well.” First of all, Nadi is Swedish and that’s awesome. I don’t have a second-of-all, actually, I think the Swedish factor should be enough to get you to check this out.

My Ipod

Sufjan Stevens-“Decatur, or, a Round of Applause for your Stepmother!”

I think Sufjan Stevens is the most productive music to work to ever, especially this album, his strange but wonderful ode to Illinois, aptly titled Illinois. It’s filled with interesting cadences and, of course, Sufjan’s mysterious and beautiful voice. I can listen to this whole album and get some stuff done.

Panda Bear -“You Can Count on Me”

Panda Bear (you might know him as Noah Lennox of Animal Collective) makes some crazy music. This track, the opener of his newest album Tomboy, has a layered, ethereal sound and is filled with his signature experimental style. Panda Bear is great for making some very dry material more bearable.

The Dirty Projectors- “Cannibal Resource”

When it is three in the morning, and all I want to do is go to bed and resign myself to an F on this term paper, I put on the Dirty Projectors. They have a super interesting, fun sound and the riff at the beginning of this song never fails to keep me going once Olin Café shuts down and my caffeine supply is gone.

Arcade Fire- “Keep the Car Running”

I adore Arcade Fire (even before they won a Grammy), and they make some really amazing music. Neon Bible may not have the same hype as Funeral or The Suburbs, but it has some gems, and this song is one of them. It has the coveted mix of upbeat but just-chill-enough that makes it really great to work to.
