Good times were had (kinda) but the last two days have seriously lacked some good music. So luckily my show happened right after the retreat ended. Awesome? Well, I think so. <div><br /></div><div>Next week I'm playing lots of songs about summer or with summer in the title to celebrate the end of summer and, uh... [insert word here that would be the opposite of celebrate] the beginning of the school year. Woo!</div><div><br /></div><div>(Did you know that woo stands for "winning others over"?

The only disappointing thing was that we didn't have enough time to go all the way to the West Coast. And let me tell you, driving down route 40 in Arizona and seeing signs for Los Angeles and not being able to drive all the way there, sucked so much. It was less than 500 miles away! *sigh*  <div><br /></div><div>Anyway though, now that I'm back, my show is on Wednesday afternoons from 3-5.

Steve and I are going on a road trip next week. So I will not be doing a show. Perhaps in the mean time I will post pictures of our adventures around the country. We'll see.<br /><br />Even more importantly, tonight was my last nighttime show. I will now be on Wednesdays from 3-5pm. You can now listen as you are driving home from work/the beach or driving to awesome concerts or uh, just hanging out at home being bored listening to the radio! yay!<br /><br /><br />We Called it America - NOFX - Coaster<br />Creeping Out Sara - NOFX - Coaster<br />Spit Shine Your Black Clouds - Blood Brothers - Young Machetes<br />Catamaran - Bear vs Shark - Terrorhawk<br />For Marcus - The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower - Dissertation, Honey<br />Crowquill - Circle Takes the Square - As the Roots Undo<br />A Line in the Sand - Q and Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep<br />Old Capitals - My Heart to Joy - Seasons in Verse<br /><br />--these arms are snakes interview--<br /><br />Ethric Double - These Arms Are Snakes - Tail Swallower and Dove<br />Waiting Room - Fugazi - 13 Songs<br />Grow On, Grow Up, Grow Out - Moving Mountains - Pneuma<br />Busy - Jawbreaker - Unfun<br />Red Letter Day - The Get Up Kids - Something to Write Home About<br />Great Lakes / Great Escape - The Lawrence Arms - Oh!

And this 80s hardcore cover band that was called 80s Hardcorps. I'm not making that up, either. I only got three hours of sleep last night (well, really it was this morning...) so I wont go retelling the whole adventure now, but the best part was by far buying the tickets, because they were math flash cards! Greatest idea ever?<br /><br />Anyway. Onto the good stuff.

And since I have now been asked this by multiple people that I do not even know, I've concluded that people actually listen to my show and therefore I should make blog for it.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Hi, blog.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Unfortunately I do not have my most recent playlist at hand right now to post in here, and in fact I am not even at the radio station as I am writing this. BUT. The good news: I am on the radio tonight. And every Wednesday night/Thursday morning.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">12-2am.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">www.whus.org.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Listen. It will be a good time. ^_^</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">And, since this entry kind of feels like a waste since there is not really anything in it, I figured why not tell the story behind the name of my show. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">It actually comes from two places.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">1. "The Big Takeover" is one of my favorite Bad Brains songs. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">2. My freshman year of college I went to the University of New Haven (and totally hated it, but that's another story), and joined this "club" called HMS 101. I say club because it was run more like a class. HMS stood for Honing Music Skills, and this upperclassman named Marquis ran the whole thing. Marquis knows more about the music industry than anyone I have ever met before in my life, and the whole point of HMS was basically to learn exactly how the industry works, and, if you wanted to be a performer, perform everywhere you possibly can (including street corners!), and if you wanted to be involved with say, being an A&amp;R or engineer or promoter, or anything else of the sort, you would have to do research on whatever job you chose and call up record labels all over the place trying to get internships (even if they were in California and you had no intention of going to California in the first place because we were stuck in West Haven). Now, being </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">very </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">much into indie and underground music, I was kind of the rebel of this club/class/whatever you want to call it, because the things we were being taught applied more to mainstream music and major record labels. Some of the bands I listen to are on labels that are only run by 1 or 2 people! So why pick only job that you want to do in this class?! When I first met Marquis and signed up for HMS, he asked me what I wanted to do in the music industry, and I, the young not-even-old-enough-to-vote freshman who listens to really obscure punk bands, responded, "Everything!" And he laughed, and said that you can't possibly do everything in the music industry.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Ever since that day, I have made it my goal to do as many awesome things involving music in some way as I possibly can. I also transferred my sophomore year, and was forced to change my major since UConn doesn't have my old major (which was originally music industry, but I changed it two months into the school year to music &amp; sound recording.). So once I was at UConn, having a radio show seemed like a really sweet idea, because a) it would be fulfilling part of my goal to do as many awesome music-related things as possible, and b) I could play with mixing boards since I wouldn't be able to take classes in recording studios at my new school. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Thus, The Big Takeover was born. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><3chelsea><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">P.S.
