I got the mic and you got the moshpit

So I would like to welcome the new followers, and anyone else who saw me shamelessly promote this blog on the music group on 20something. It's a good one to start with, because I'm basically asking for feedback.

If you are new, then one thing to know about me is that I am a college radio DJ. This is only important when it gets close to Wednesdays (the day I go on) and especially when fall semester starts again. This summer is kind of lazy -- I have only done one show -- but in the fall when everyone comes back it should be interesting. One day, we took the camera in the studio and snapped this lovely pic:



Now, it looks like im singing or gettin ready to rap, but actually I was just trying to "look hard." All I do is introduce the music. And speaking of the music, this is where you guys come in.

My show is called "All Things Rock" because that's basically what I play -- all things in the genre of rock. I have literally played Coldplay and Underoath in the same show before. It's how I get down. Sometimes I have themes (in the past I have had acoustic shows, an all female show, and warped tour artists as examples). But tomorrow, I don't really have a theme. I was going to play a bunch of screamo because A Day To Remember and Chiodos tracks came to Rock Band, but I think I am going to wait till July when Warped Tour makes its way to Atlanta. So I need your help.

I usually have a group on facebook, but i'm trying to keep my facebook/myspace world separate from my blogspot world, so consider you guys my special group. In that group I ask for suggestions on what to play and what not. Well this week, I have the bands in mind. I just need your suggestions for songs.

The only song I know for sure I am going to play is Linkin Park's new song. If I go on after my roommate, I will play Are You In? by Incubus (explanation: my roommate is an actual DJ, with turntables and everything. He may or may not come in tomorrow. On a normal schedule, he goes on before I do, but we may move around tomorrow and he might go on after me). But those are the only two, I have locked. The following are bands I would like to play. Like I said, there is no theme to tomorrow's show, but I guess nothing too crazy or nothing way soft. Kind of in the middle. Only restriction: it has to fall under the category the umbrella of rock (meaning no hip hop and stuff) and that it has to be clean, or radio friendly. So here are the bands I have in mind:

Green Day (off their newest album)
Taking Back Sunday (also off newest album)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs (and also off newest album)
Franz Ferdinand
MGMT
Shiny Toy Guns
Kings of Leon
The Black Keys
Manchester Orchestra
Anberlin
Augustana
The Academy Is...
Jack's Mannequin
Cage the Elephant
All American Rejects
The Shins
White Stripes (or Raconteurs)
Cold War Kids
Toxic Airbourne Event
Gym Class Heroes
Head Automatica
The Hush Sound
The Killers
Minus the Bear
Pendulum
New Found Glory
Silversun Pickups
The Sounds

So there they are. I may play more bands than that, I may play less. I only have two hours. But if you could, offer suggestions on which song to play from 1 band, 3 bands, or all of them if you have the time. Suggest anybody else if you like, though if I don't already have them, I may not have time to get them. Tell your friends, your family, your dog to suggest. After all, this is going out to people, so why not have it be people suggested?

Oh, and if you wanna listen in, we stream online. Although i'm not sure what exact time I will go on, I know my roommate and I will be on air from 5-8, central time (if you hear some club type stuff, that means he is on). The link is at wegl.auburn.edu and just click on streaming.

Thanks ahead of time!
