recommendations from your bffs at bsr.
Hey.
So it’s Monday, meaning epic blogging time for us here at BSR. First recommendation today comes from our music director. He suggests you check out Cadillac Sky! Here’s a link to their myspace! Very original, and perfect to cheer you up on a sad, rainy Monday like today. It’s super chill with great harmonies and technique. Their record, produced by Dan Auerbach of the...
she and him!
For our new music pick this week, we’ve got to give it to she and him. The new record, Volume II, is even cuter than Volume I…if that’s possible. They’re also playing a show at HOB Cleveland on June 10th, which should be absolutely crazy!! We recommend you creep on over to www.sheandhim.com, check out the adorable album artwork, stream a couple of tracks and then pick up...

So much great new music!
Hello friends! it’s Monday once again so that means I’ll be breaking down the BSR director picks for great new music. Top of the list this week: MGMT. They’ve been getting some judgment lately for how different the new jams are, and apparently some people don’t agree with the anti-popularity sentiments they hold. Still, we here at BSR will love MGMT unconditionally, and...

mmmmmusic monday
Welcome back to another week of music selections from BSR DJs and directors. I’ll be honest. I’ve had the music choice for this week planned for a while now.
Empires, who have stopped by the studio a couple of times now, dropped a new record, Bang, on Tuesday. It’s seven tracks (I think you get a bonus or two with the deluxe edition though) and it’s absolutely...

Music Monday...Ted Leo!!
Hello! Today is absolutely beautiful!! Hard to believe it was a borderline blizzard like…a week ago. haha. I’m stoked. I am also stoked because it’s time for me to present you with our music monday choice for the week!!!!!
This week, our recommendation comes from our Programming Director, Erin. As soon as we brought up new music at the meeting on Tuesday, she was totally set...
HAPPY MONDAY!
Hello! Hope you’re enjoying your Monday. I’ll admit I’m a bit tired after spending last night catching up on all the work I didn’t do this weekend. It was worth it though— I got to check out the NFG ten year anniversary tour twice! The weather wasn’t very conducive to my roadtrip adventures, but I got to see some of my favorite bands. Fireworks was so much...

rainy monday
Goodness the weather is a bummer today! I’m not too stoked on the rain, but I am stoked to share our weekly music suggestions. Make sure to tell your tumblr-savvy friends to follow us and leave us nice comments and stuff. We’re all about music chats.
So at our meeting, we decided we had to talk about Massive Attack and their new record for this week’s #musicmonday. ...
another monday, more music!
I’ve been listening to a lot of different things this week. According to last.fm, my top artist this week was Girls. If you haven’t picked up Girls’ album (titled: “album”), you REALLY need to. It’s got this weird depressing yet cheerful vibe to it, and I totally dig it. We recently added “Lust for Life” to the new music tab…request it now...
Happy #musicmonday.
Hello friends of BSR! Hope you’re enjoying your Monday. I’m so happy to see the snow has melted a bit! Anyway, every week, the BSR directors chat about the best new music so that we can let you know what’s up! This week, our #musicmonday recommendation is Jonsi. Jonsi is alos the lead vocalist and guitarist of Sigur Ros, but he has been working on his own project as well. Our...

Good week.
Just got off the phone with Greta Salpeter not too long ago for our interview. It was way awesome to hear about all the music she’s been working on- and I’ll be airing the interview Friday during my show from 2-4 pm. This week we’re also giving away tickets to Rob Zombie in Akron (should be rad) and there’s going to be a super rad giveaway on the Sydney and Shannon...
straylight run, weezer, say anything!!
Hello! Ellen here. I went to see Straylight Run and Dave Melillo on Tuesday in Pittsburgh and the show was fantastic! (It was not so fantastic that my car didn’t start after the show and I rode back to Kent in a tow truck, but whatever haha). It was sooo rad that Will Noon called into BSR on Peeled Bananas on Monday- I listened and it was awesome! Their set was amazing. Dave was also wayy...
The new Atlas Sound album "Logos" rocks my socks
Hi Guys! Gabz Ciofani here, General Manager of the station and I know that if I didn’t begin this post by telling you how wicked the new Atlas Sound album was, both our Mobile DJ Director (Ledion Isufaj) and our Events Coordinator (Todd Williams) would never speak to me again. Plus- I know it’s all of our responsibility here at BSR to encourage the spread of new music. That being said,...

Thoughts during my office hours....
Hey. So I guess I’m making the first post here on the BSR tumblr! I’m Ellen, the Marketing Director, and I’m pretty stoked to be sharing some more fun stuff going on at Black Squirrel Radio with you.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Manchester Orchestra and Hellogoodbye lately. Quite an interesting mix for sure. Hellogoodbye’s new tracks are so different from their...
