Radio Show Playlist: 5/14/08

Audiversity's reign on 88.7 WLUW-FM Chicago is coming to a close -- with June 25th being the last possible show date, though it could very well come sooner with the way the situation is developing. On July 1st, WLUW will no longer be listener-supported community radio; instead it is reverting back to Loyola's student-run station, and most likely with it, all of the downfalls and short-sightedness of college radio. As solely a community member, I will no longer be welcome to contribute. There is no animosity, it's just the reality of the situation, and I am ready to move on to bigger and better things. What exactly is this bigger and better thing? It is the Chicago Independent Radio Project! A brand new station is in the works that will be potentially launching this summer on the web. This will be Audiversity's new home, and I hope all of you will follow us there. The show will be new and improved and hopefully taken to brand new levels. Thanks for listening for the last 2-and-a-half years if you are a WLUW listener, and I'm looking forward to developing this idea even further. Cheers.

Also, I will be taking a break from reviewing CDs here on the site for a little while as I put my full concentration on developing the new music library for the CHIRP station. However, I am still writing for Dusted Magazine and Stop Smiling, so you can find my words and opinions there if interested. Don't read this as the end of Audiversity.com though: my last few radio show playlists will be posted here, Patrick and Ronnie may still be posting, and we will be back phoenix-like by the end of the summer.

Love, Michael.
