Ween Hour

To celebrate the arrival of rock music's most eclectic duo, Ween, to Burlington's Waterfront, WRMC is having a daily WEEN HOUR. Everyday from 6-7pm we will be playing your favorite (or maybe not your favorite) Ween tunes. As Ween can range from country, to noise to pop to metal, this may sit strange in your eardrums. However, we like it that way.

The show is Saturday, July 11 with openers Antibalas, the extraordinary Afrobeat orchestra.

For tickets go HERE

For more Ween go HERE

More as the show approaches.

RIP Michael

In paying our respects to the late great King of Pop. An afternoon of Michael Jackson on 91.1FM.

You will be missed.

With love,

WRMC

I saw the post below and thought that I would add some hotness of my own.

Listen to these albums this summer:
Mos Def, The Ecstatic
Major Lazer, Guns Don't Kill People Lazers Do
Bullion, Young Heartache EP
J Dilla, J Stay Paid
Soul Assassins, Intermission


Why?

The Ecstatic is chocked full of old Beat Konducta jawns. Major Lazer is Mad Decent's new reggae poster boy; and as such, straight buttery-ass. Bullion sounds like Ween on barbituates. Dilla is Dilla (period). Soul Assassins never got the tweet that hip hop is once again about fun and Will Smith's FPB-A ski suit. Sonic Youth.

Summer Programming

To join the fight against the robots.

Sign up for a summer radio show by emailing WRMC911[at]gmail[dot]com

We have to give preference to the language schools, but there are still many hours in the day that are controlled by robots. Tell us when you can do a show, and we'll make it work. No experience necessary. We'll drag you through Radio Boot Camp with a minimum of degradation and hazing. Also, there's no required two weekends a month, ten weeks a year. Don't come if you don't want to. In short, chill and play music.

Are you in Vermont this summer? Do you listen to 91.1? Have you been wondering what the ambient psychedelism that makes you want to erupt into a giggle fit is all about?

Well, I am in control of the robots - that is, until they develop sentience. But for the time being, they're broadcasting only Boards of Canada.



While at one time they did live there, Boards of Canada actually is currently unaffiliated with our neighbor to the North. Instead, the group consists of two Scottish brothers Marcus Eoin and Michael Sandison. The two have built up quite a mythos surrounding their band. They're part of the artist's collective/cult/Dionysian orgy Hexagon Sun. Their first four releases are nowhere to be found. They openly discuss the role of the psychadelic experience in their music. And they are forever in pursuit of the perfect album.

To get at this elusive goal BoC craft musical fragments using a combination of real instruments, analog electronics, drum machines, samples, digital effects, and anything else they thing sounds cool. Often, the group several hundred ideas only a few seconds long which they then distill into songs. When a group of songs seems to connect in that special way, they've got an album. You see, BoC is not content to merely give you an album of good sounding songs, they're after something much more, in the band's own words, spiritual.

BoC believe that music is close to the divine. They sample melodies reminiscent of nursery rhymes, that get stuck in your head almost universal. They draw inspiration from John Carpenter soundtracks and nature documentaries alike. They fill their records with subliminal messages and numerology -noting the way that science and math pervade the natural, cultural, and artistic. They want you to do more than just passively listen to their work, they want to fell it and become a part of it. So do that, and tune in to 91.1 or stream it.
