The Big Pink and Holy Fuck on Radio K this week http://www.beggarsgroupusa.com/blog/2010/03/19/the-big-pink-and-holy-fuck-on-radio-k-this-week/ http://www.beggarsgroupusa.com/blog/2010/03/19/the-big-pink-and-holy-fuck-on-radio-k-this-week/#comments Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:00:37 +0000 Hector http://www.beggarsgroupusa.com/blog/?p=2374

How good is Minneapolis’s Radio K? So good that they’re doing radio sessions this week from two different cities. In their hometown, they had The Big Pink drop by to play some songs, and the fruits of that session will be airing just a few hours from now at 10:00AM Central time. And in the land of beer, BBQ and suspicious textbook standards otherwise known as Austin, TX, they recorded a session with Chatroulette afficionados Holy Fuck. That session hits the airwaves tomorrow, March 20, at noon Central.

The Twin Cities can listen to Radio K at the following points on their FM dial: 104.5 FM (Minneapolis-St. Paul), 100.7 FM (St. Paul), 106.5 FM (Minneapolis) & 770 AM (Metro area). If you like your radio the same way I like my women (streaming), click here and be happy.

If you can pull yourself away from the straight pummeling the US Hockey team is inflicting upon the poor Finnish, click your mouse over to KEXP’s website to check out a live session from Sweden’s Taken By Trees. Victoria Bergsman and her crew drove for days to reach Seattle in time for the session, braving the weather and, er, Montana truck stops to showcase their wares. The least you could do is tune in. As a reminder, if you’re in SeaTac, KEXP can be found on 90.3 on your FM tuner.

Basia Bulat’s current tour takes her through Minneapolis tonight for a show at the Cedar Cultural Center. Tickets are still available, but those of you too cash-strapped, too tired, or too not-in-Minneapolis to see Basia live can enjoy her through the magic of the radio. Radio K will be hosting a live radio session with the prodigiously talented Ms. Bulat today at 5:15 EST/4:15 CST. Residents of the Twin Cities area have so many options to listen it hurts: 104.5FM, 100.7FM, 106.5FM or 770AM, plus they can be like the rest of us non-Minneapolitans and listen online at radiok.cce.umn.edu.

Also, I hate to sully this post by bringing up money, but Basia’s newest album, Heart Of My Own, is yours for the taking at several very reasonable price points if you visit our webstore.

Don’t miss St. Vincent live on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic today http://www.beggarsgroupusa.com/blog/2010/02/10/dont-miss-st-vincent-live-on-kcrws-morning-becomes-eclectic-today/ http://www.beggarsgroupusa.com/blog/2010/02/10/dont-miss-st-vincent-live-on-kcrws-morning-becomes-eclectic-today/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:38:20 +0000 Jeremy G http://www.beggarsgroupusa.com/blog/?p=2338

KCRW’s fund drive has just finished, but that won’t stop Annie Clark from invading the studio for a Morning Becomes Eclectic session today at 11:15AM PST/2:15 EST. Tune in on 89.9FM (and the assorted repeater frequencies) in Southern California or online and listen to St. Vincent work through songs from Actor, with perhaps a surprise or two thrown in for good measure. And if you haven’t seen the stellar video for the new single “Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood” (starring Fred Armisen and Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein, as well as Annie herself), you should definitely click through on that, as it’s pretty much good times for all.
