If you miss this weekend’s fine radio programming — shame on you! — but not really, you can hear some fine selections from each DJ’s setlist on WOUB’s Radio Free Athens Spotify playlist, available at this link.

Chad will be spinning a mix of psychedelic, indie, and electronica.
From DJ Grumpy Grandma, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Lately I’ve been getting good and cranky about not having some of my favorite albums on vinyl. I’m not a super broke grocery store clerk who happens to be a music geek anymore, so I deserve to have these gems in the physical format I love so! Two of those are Funeral Dress from Cincinnati rock ‘n’ rollers Wussy and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco, the frontman of which is, of course, Jeff Tweedy (who I just spent more money on a ticket to see in Columbus in March than I have ever spent on any concert ticket this week). I’ll also be playing music by my new best friends in the Vincent, OH-based band, Cutler Station!
