Back to School!
August 18th, 2008 | Published in Music
From 1995-1999 I worked at WWVU-FM, attending college in my spare time. U92, as it’s more commonly known, is the college radio station at West Virginia University. The first day of the fall semester was always our biggest day of the year - we’d set up a big tent in front of the student union and broadcast all day long, trying to pry the student body away from their Dave Matthews and Garth Brooks CDs and into the world of Jeff Buckley, Catherine Wheel, Pulp, Tom Waits, the Stone Roses, XTC, Morphine….
So yeah. Today is the first day of classes at WVU, and I’m feeling painfully nostalgic. The big show is going strong and I wish I could be there. I’ve been listening all morning, and you can too, via the Listen Live link at the U92 site.
