Left of the Dial Muxtape – May 2008

May 13th 2008

It was a little strange not going in to WQAQ this past weekend. Strange enough, I suppose, to inspire me to finish updating the Left of the Dial Muxtape. I’ll spare you the commentary & just offer a track listing. If you have your own Muxtape, send me a link to it!

See you soon.

Final Show on WQAQ

May 1st 2008

This Saturday morning at 11:00 will be my final show on WQAQ. Exams start next week and I graduate with my masters’ degree the following Sunday.

I’m hoping that the show will be as long as it recently has (11:00 – 2:00), but no promises.

That being said, I’d love to have you join me as I will look back on the past two years (and ultimately, the past seven) of my college radio career.

AIM: wqaqdj
Phone: (203) 582 – 5555

See you then!
BW
