Fit to Burst

Tune in for the latest by Toronto’s Ducks Ltd. Image: Vuk Dragojevic / The Broadway

First off, a huge thank-you to everyone who contributed during our recent Fall Membership Drive, and to all who were already KOOP members and continue to support us every month. Y’all are amazing! TGWN listeners provided more new contributions than ever before, and so now we’ve got a bigger show than ever before—24 songs we’re going to (somehow) fit into 90 minutes! Will we make it? Who knows, but we’re gonna try!

This week, we’re cramming in tunes by AVIV, CIVIC TV, Colors New Look, Corridor, Darryl Kissick, Diamondtown, Ducks Ltd., FKB, GRAE, j ember, Jojo Mason, Julie Doiron, Kaylee Patterson, Luna Li, Mon Doux Saigneur, Mother Sun, MUNYA, Nightshifts, nodisco., PAPAL VISIT, Peach Pit, Princess Century, Rusty Robot, and Stefanie Parnell.

I’m On Fire

We took in what might be a record haul for the show last week—but that’s no reason to rest on our laurels! Today’s show is your last chance to contribute during KOOP’s Fall Membership Drive so, if you haven’t already, pull yourself away from all the incredible Canadian tunes and either pick up the phone or hit up our website to pledge your financial support to KOOP Radio!

In between telling you about all the reasons why community radio in Austin depends on YOUR support, we’ll be spinning some killer tracks by Arcade Fire, Buck 65, Eight and a Half, Federal Lights, Fine Times, Graham Wright, Grand Analog, HONHEEHONHEE, The I Spies, Jenn Grant, Katie Tupper, Kestrels, Lisa LeBlanc, Papermaps, Said the Whale, Still Life Still, Sunset Rubdown, Super Plage, and Winter Gloves.
