Playlists and Updates

As you can tell, I haven't been updating the Recess blog. Usually I update the blog with playlists and notes from the current show like guests and interesting topics of conversation. Right now, all playlists are being posted here. I plan on revamping the show for the fall season with more emphasis on guests and conversation. Music will still be the backbone of the show but I am planning for more interactivity and other wild surprises which will hopefully kick into gear during the Fall semester of 2008.

Stay tuned and rock on!

Is Dream Theater Boring?

You can check out playlists at www.wusb.fm. What I did was copy and pasted it from here which is why it looks different than in previous entrys.

Sebastian and James return to the studio, along with Twisted Legacy bassist Jim to discuss music, why Billy Joel is bad, if Dream Theater is boring, and giving away Blondie tickets.
