September 2011 Playlist

The June Playlist has finally emerged as the September playlist and all feels slightly righter with the Flirt world now it's been uploaded. It's been 3 months coming, so it's serving as a recap of the best stuff from this summer, and what a summer it's been for new releases. We've been loving The Chemical Brothers, Crystal Castles, Devo, School of Seven Bells, Sia, Wolf Parade, Ratatat and Sleigh Bells to name but a few. Here's a few of the tracks that have been piquing our interest over the last while...

Maylist 2010

The year is just zooming past, exams are nearly finished and it's time for the annual Flirt Maylist; this is the playlist that signals the start of the summer proper, festival season, hopefully a bit of decent weather and some students bidding a permanent farewell to campus life (sniffle).

You can stream the playlist here, clicking on the images'll bring you to the artists' websites. My personal favourite for the weirdness is Tobacco - their artwork is bizarre in the best way. Irish acts include Cathy Davey, So Cow and Nouveaunoise, and they're all top notch!

Moving and shaking!

We've moved... mostly!
Where is it? Down the back of Áras na MacLéinn, NUI Galway on the ground floor.

The studios aren't quite ready for full operations, so we'll be playing pre-recs and repeats for the next while, but volunteers can now pre-record their shows in the new building.

What's left to do? We're waiting for internet to be installed so the webstream's down, but the transmitter's working, so go with the FM flow!

When is it open to the public? Take a trot down to the back of Áras na Mac Léinn, if we're about, we'll gladly give you the tour. The official opening date ties in with full schedule; Monday 19th of October.


In the midst of all the move chaos we had a student radio blogger from the US drop in to visit us, (making it past all the construction work and barriers!) she took some wonderful photos of the old building, and did us a top-notch write-up, which you can find on her blog Spinning Indie
