Swag. It's 3 O'Clock.

This is a blog for my radio show Swag. It's 3 O'Clock. Listen at 1pm CST on 90.3FM if you're in the St. Louis or Clayton, MO area. If not, you can still catch me by going to kwur.com or listening on the iTunes radio station KWUR 90.3 FM (located under the eclectic category). I'll be posting my playlists and any pertinent information about my favorite band. Blogger blog: http://3oclockswag.blogspot.com/ Enjoy!

New Year, New Songs

I'm not one for new year resolutions, but this year I decided that I really want to expand my musical taste and knowledge. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut. And, I'm ashamed to admit this, but I've been listening to (and actually enjoying) pop music! In attempts to get back to my alternative/electronic roots, I've decided to forgo top 40 stations and look for high quality music! So, starting today, I'm on the hunt for new, stellar sounds.

The first band I stumbled upon is Paper|Cities. Their single "Take Care" was a pleasant surprise, as was their female lead singer. The song is available for free download here.

Katy Perry - Prism

I just listened to Katy Perry's new album Prism. It's surprisingly good. She's developed into a more mature singer. Gone are her party, let's get drunk and black out, songs. With this album, she brings in songs from her heart. Admittedly, I'm not wild about a couple of songs on this one, but overall it's a solid cd.
