Thursday, April 23

12:55 pm: Listener Brett requested Metric's "Gimme Sympathy," off their latest album Fantasies.



I found this live acoustic version from last year's Coachella.



12:34 pm: There is some sickkkk bass on Jenny Lewis' "The Next Messiah." It's a long song--almost two in one. I think it's definitely my favorite track off of Lewis' newest solo album Acid Tongue.

I adore Jenny Lewis.

12:22 pm: DJ Moondance is a junior as SU. Sick mash-ups. Check out his site.

12:00 pm: We mentioned Mayfest earlier in the broadcast. We celebrated on Tuesday. If you have never experienced a Mayfest, here's what you missed:

11:50 am: Listener Andres asked if this was the "last candy?" Luckily, it is not! We've got a few more shows left. Classes end next Tuesday but we're going to keep going until we go home (or graduate in my case). So keep tuning in every Thursday!

11:43 am: Sweet live video by Lykke Li, "I'm Good, I'm Gone," for Katie (Josh's).


11:28 am: Yofred finds the Shins' lyrics cryptic so I think we should give him his own class. Shin's lyrics 101 with Professor Yof at audiocandy University. Would you enroll?

11:17 am: A lot of indie music fans diss Pitchfork. I personally still read it and consider it a good resource of indie news. Yof said that Metacritic is the best site because it takes all the reviews on the net and uses them to formulate an overall rating on albums, as well as DVDS and games.

11:03 am: Are you on twitter? RT that you're listening:
I'm listening to AUDIOCANDY (10am-1pm) & you should too:

or change your facebook status! Spread the audiocandy love.

10:57 am: We're listening to SPANK ROCK, reppin' Baltimore. "What it look like" is one of his tamer songs. If you're alright with some vulgarity, check out their myspace.

10:51 am: Zach got me craving some French techno? Here's some Yelle. Check out those movessss. TERP remixed it. Zach said Yelle would have never been popular without him.





10:43 am: The phone line is down. Downgrade. But you can still get at us by i.m. werw1570 or facebookchat Paige Dearing or twitter Paige Dearing or yofred.

10:38 am: St. Vincent's new album hasn't dropped yet, but it has been leaked. Yof said she reminds him of Sufjan Stevens & Radiohead sometimes when she sings, like mellow & creepy. Yof also said that he thought that the new album could have been better; she had the same problem with her previous album. The album is split with four good tracks and four alright tracks. If only she could have all eight tracks be stellar! I think she could.

10:23 am: Matt & Kim released a new video "Lessons Learned."



Do you think this is real? I thought it was, but the last frame makes me think it was all posed. What do you think?


10:17 am: We're playing "Cough Coughing" by Menomena. Yofred said I've got to see the video, so I though it'd share it with our listeners too.



10:08 am: Yofred started the show this morning. His class was canceled, so he was able to make it on time! He even started a few minutes earlier. I came into the studio a few minutes before 10 and he already was playing some Deerhunter!

We were just talking about the Flaming Lips. They played a free show at RISD only for students, but Yof was able to sneak in for their encore. The Flaming Lips also played a free show last weekend in celebration of Earth Day on the Mall in D.C. Did anyone go? I'd love to hear how the show was!

Here's a video of that sick bubble Mark Coyne walks across the crowd in:
