Think about all that you have enjoyed in 2014: Music, Concerts and Shows, Experiences, Books, and more. What are among some of your favorites of this year that is slowly drawing to a close? This past weekend we had an amazing group of shows in our fine city of Dayton so this is a perfect time to beginning thinking about this past year.

A nearly complete listing of releases can be found on the Wikipedia site for music in 2014!  While not entirely without some notable misses… it is a good place to see why 2014 was a great year for music.

Join Mrs. Dr. J and Dr. J this Tuesday from 3-6pm for Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative on WUDR Flyer Radio 99.5/98.1 onwudr.udayton.edu as we being to reflect on the year that has passed!

Who Wants to Listen to Music Alone? A Collective Conversation on YTAA

your tuesday afternoon alternative Radio Show , , , , ,

DSC05534What is the first thought that you have when a great song comes along? As you listen to it over and over again…does excitement build? Do you start dancing? And, be honest –Don’t names of friends pop into your head? And why is that?

When you hear a great song it captures your attention and often the first thought you have is that you want — need — to share it! A great tune leads ultimately to the need to be shared. Well that is what we are going to do this week. In addition to playing new songs, we are talking to musicians about their music and what is it about music that makes it such a collective — community experience.

Starving in the Belly of the WhaleRicky Terrell of Starving in the Belly of the Whale and Dave Zup will join us in the studio to talk about upcoming shows, projects, and their interpretation on the collective power of music. Ricky will be talking about the upcoming release of the crowd-funded Missionaries and Impostors; and he’ll give us all the info on the release show!

And as always expect new and classic indie tunes!  You can help shape the show by tweeting Dr. J at drjwudr or you can email us at drjwudr on the ol’ gmail.  And for those who prefer to use the phone – you can always call into the show at 937-229-2774!

So, join us this Tuesday from 3-6pm as we talk about new songs, some recent shows, upcoming releases, and the need to share music!

One of Dayton’s saviors of rock and roll, our own Motel Beds keep getting attention for their ‘we are not afraid of guitar’ songs. Their video for the second song on their terrific new album, Dumb Gold is called “Valentimes”. Remember now and do not forget that the ‘Beds have made Dumb Gold available for a name your own price — that means it could be free but you really should cough up a few dollars! Great music for your music listening pleasure!

Once you hear a Motel Beds song, you cannot go back!
