John Cale - The Conway, Arkansas Performance

Despite taking the wrong exit out of Little Rock and a girlfriend that was on the brink of tossing her cookies due to motion sickness, I made it to see the legenedary John Cale perform a free concert at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas. Since I didn't recgonize a lot from the playlist (I assume a lot came off of his new one, Black Acetate) here is a few that I recall:

Venus In Furs (opening song)
Guts
Momamma Scuba
Dirty-Ass Rock`n'Roll
Cable Hogue
Turn the Lights On (an iTunes single from Black Acetate)
Pablo Picasso

(I forgot my digital camera but Apryl lent me her camera phone to grab this snapshot.)

WEVL Fall Pledge Drive - Listener's Choice

Well, this Friday marks the first day of our Fall Pledge Drive at WEVL 89.9FM and if you have been thinking of becoming a member of the station this is the perfect time to do just that.

One of the fun parts of the pledge drive is listening to all the special theme shows throughout the week. I still haven't decided on a theme for The Music Lovers' pledge drive show but I have playing with the idea of having the listeners make up the playlist. So tell me what your favorite singles of this year are and I'll make up the show with everyone's responses. Just leave your answers as a comment or email me here.

Happy Halloween!
