Webcasting Update:

As WZLY is currently in the process of a mass-scale overhaul, which in part entails switching our webcasting server to another computer, webcasting will be down for the next couple of days. if you are in or near the wellesley area, though, you can still tune in to 91.5 fm and, as is said in certain circles, 'flip it old school style.'

WZLY General Meeting is Sunday, February 13 at 8pm. Location TBA.

Interested in becoming a DJ on Wellesley College's radio station, WZLY 91.5 fm? Come to our first general meeting of the semester! All DJs, newsies, and interns are required to attend so we can discuss new amendments to the WZLY constitution and do scheduling. If you are a DJ and you cannot attend this meeting, please email Lbritton [at] wellesley.edu 24 hours before the meeting with your explanation and email the Program Director, Ashira Greene agreene2 [at] wellesley.edu, your scheduling information. The schedule is created right after the general meeting and if you fail to email Ashira your information, you will be given last priority, regardless of how long you've been with the station.

Priority in scheduling is based on how many semesters a DJ has been with WZLY and has worked on the WZLY eboard. Please email that information to Ashira and choose at least 7 preferred slots on the schedule, once current executive board member's slots have been posted on the WZLY conference. Please realize that a record number of interns became DJs last semester, and the WZLY schedule is expanding. Please consider choosing late night/weekend night slots or DJing with a friend, especially if you haven't been with WZLY for very long. We will try to accomodate everyone, but we cannot promise you your number one slot, especially if it's a popular time. If you have any questions, please email LBritton [at] wellesley.edu

the freaking walkmen are coming to play at molly's pub, my friends. the date is 02/04/05. be there. more info to come. for now, lets hope this will whet your appetite:

<< When they're not busy playing gigs in the OC or driving Saturns through early childhood, The Walkmen still miraculously find the time to release phenomenal albums. With their follow-up to 2002's Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone, The Walkmen continue to tighten their songwriting; Bows and Arrows is the rare album that's equal parts hook-y accessibility and multi-layered, slow-burn appreciation. They rock sparingly but with great efficacy when it's time to bring down the house, launching into high-octane, guitar-steered thrillers-- notably the desperate betrayal of "The Rat"-- whenever it suits them. They also fill the gaps with beautiful, drunken remembrances ("My Old Man", "138th Street") and hushed piano numbers ("Hang On Siobhan")-- tracks that are easy in their laid-back simplicity but slowly reveal themselves to be subtle, elegant compositions. >>
