"omg killer new shows"

That’s right folks. Our NEW fall schedule comes complete with 9 new students shows. Here’s a quick preview:

On Sunday from 2-3 am join “Theater in the Sky” for music from where else? Musical theater. But it’s not just a greatest hits of Broadway: there’s lots of stuff you’ve never heard before.

On Tuesday from 2-4 am, we present “Wall of Sleep” with the very best of Stoner, Sludge and Doom metal. Slow, br00tal riffs to carry you through the hellish night. Turn it up loud.

As a change of pace, Tuesday from 9-10 am, “Dynamic Encounters” explores 20th and 21st century classical compositions for a little taste of the avant garde first thing in the morning.

On Thursday from 2-4 am, join Gabe for “Return to Cool,” a program featuring jazz cuts, primarily from the 1950s and 60s. Perfect for the late night.

Just a few short hours later, from 6-8 am on Thursday, we have “Atmos in Suspension” where Matt explores the cutting edge of post-rock as the sun rises.

Also new on Thursday from 9-10 am is “Sound on Film,” a collection of the last century’s best and often most obscure music from the world of film. WVKR is your new home for Morricone and porno jams.

Back in the late night, on Fridays from 1-3 am we have “Electron Microscope” with live-mixed electronic jams, both sprawling and banging from Scandinavia to New York.

Immediately following “Electron Microscope” we have “Pop Connections” from 3-4 am. Riley takes you through the pop music canon with a focus on new releases that relate in mysterious, or literal ways.

And finally, on Saturdays from 2-3 am, “Tripspotting” rounds out our new programming with a hour of new music of the electronic variety, featuring “trip-” and “hip-” hop.

WVKR: tune in, tune in, and tune in.

In the past few years we have seen a burgeoning demand for novelty diapers. Today you can buy denim diapers, crazy right?

Among other things you can buy is the newly released Dipers demo. Dipers are a rad band from NYC, that’s right they’re the newest novelty diapers, dipers without an A. As is fitting for true DIY punks, the demo cds did not have a test pressing. Well, they aren’t vinyl either, but anyways. Dipers brings a truly core sound with their smash songs  “Light My Farts” and “Dog Mosh”. If you dig the hardest to the core music, check out Dipers. They recently played at Vassar’s Shiva (Rave) Theatre to a packed room.

WVKR’s newest General Manager, C.L. Brotz, is getting people excited about independent radio and our new merchandise at Vassar’s annual Activities Fair.  Check out that tank!  Will he entice new Vassar students into the world of WVKR?  Only time will tell.

WVKR will be holding an open house from 1 to 4 PM tomorrow on Saturday June 5th inviting both former DJs and any other interested alumni to take a look at the station and see how it has developed and grown within the past few years. Alumni will have the opportunity to talk with the students currently staffing the station and be able to relive their days as the proud independent spirits that contributed to 91.3 FM. To reach the station, simply follow the signs in the retreat indicating the location of WVKR, which is situated on the third floor of the college center.
