SONG OF THE DAY
“What Did My Lover Say (It Always Had To Go This Way)” by Wolf Parade (Expo 86, Sub Pop Records, 2010). Written by Spencer Krug.
WHY TODAY?
Ugh, I can’t believe I’m just getting to telling you about this great song and playlist today! I’m so mad at myself!! This blog entry has been delayed extensively, and should have been posted September 4th.
The story: on Friday, September 3rd, my husband & I happened upon local college radio station 88.7FMÂ WNHU (University of New Haven) while doing errands, and were amazed by the sick playlist of new and great songs from some of the great new albums of summer 2010. This song in particular rocked my world, but I couldn’t get enough of the lyrics to google the song, so i contacted Kristen Bayusik, the Program Director at the station, and requested the playlist for the day. As it turns out, the station has a weekly playlist they create of new hits that rotates every weekday from 4 to 6pm.
And since this playlist is so amazing, I immediately emailed back and asked if I could feature their weekly playlists in a weekly entry on my blog…and she said yes!!! And then my computer broke…
Anyhow, now I’m finally responding to Kristen’s email to make this a weekly thing on the S.O.T.D. blog, and I’m finally posting this entry. I’m sorry for the wait. Enjoy!
