If you find yourself relaxing in your dorm or apartment on a Friday night, Positively Peachy might just be the show for you!
The adorable host, Alissa, describes her show as âa cute and upbeat place where you can just sit and daydream!â Throughout the show, Alissa gives positive words of encouragement and plays anything from J-Pop to instrumental and ambient music. âAnything that is cute and would transport you to a fluffy place!â Friday nights can be a great time to distress after the week, and Positively Peachy helps you do just that.

Let the sweetness surround you on Friday nights at 9:00pm on WCVF!

TOP 5 ARTISTS OF THE WEEK:
REGINA SPEKTOR: Born in the Soviet Union, Spektor began her career as a singer-songwriter and pianist when she began classical training on the piano at the age of six. When she was nine years old, her family emigrated to the United States, where she continued her classical training into her teenage years; she began to write original songs shortly thereafter. Remember Us To Life is her seventh studio album with arrangements that span intimate piano ballads and fully orchestrated set pieces, with hints of theatrical pop. Ultimately, the sweetness that's always been as much a part of her musical persona as quirkiness overrides any embellishment, offering a touch of drama without pretension.
COAST MODERN: Returning to their spot on the TOP 5, this Los Angeles-based duo, who infuse their breezy, west coast electro-pop with elements of hip-hop and indie rock, Coast Modern was started by Luke Atlas and Coleman Trapp. After two years of failing to cast their creations into the mainstream, Trapp retreated to Denver, Colorado to get a little perspective, and began writing songs for himself, rather than the latest tastemaker. He would send theses back to Atlas, who would add bits of production, and before long, Atlas was back in L.A., and Coast Modern was born. Their first single, Hollow Life, in 2015, drew rave reviews and comparisons to artists like Grouplove, Cage the Elephant, Twenty-One Pilots, and Alt-J. A second single, Animals, followed in 2016.
THE LEMON TWIGS: Making their debut performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Long Island brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario started the Lemon Twigs when they were still teenagers. The siblings play multiple instruments, including guitar, keyboards, drums, horns, and strings. In addition to Harry Nilsson, Todd Rundgren, Big Star, and Brian Wilson, the D'Addarios have counted the Beatles, Wings, and the Zombies as major influences to their music. The Lemon Twigs are signed with 4AD and they have just released their debut album, Do Hollywood. Channeling the baroque rock of the â60s, The London Times characterized them as "a modern-day band combining the melodic, harmony-rich soft rock of Wings and Supertramp, the underground cool of Big Star and the Ramones, and the theatricality of Broadway musicals."It may only be their debut, but the boys of the Lemon Twigs sound like they've got it all figured out.
LVL UP: The New York quartet LVL UP channels the best bits of '90s lo-fi and indie rock to create a grungy, melodic racket. The band was formed in 2011 at SUNY (State University of New York) in Purchase, New York, where its members were students. Their third album, Return to Love has a sound reminiscent of bands like Eric's Trip, Pavement, and Built to Spill, making it a natural fit with their new label, Sub Pop. The album is filled with "nicely catchy songs, familiar sounds, and the overwhelming sense that the band's love of the '90s is being transmitted directly to the listener minus any irony and/or distance."
FICTIONIST: {Back on the TOP 5 for a second week) An alternative rock band from Provo, Utah, the band Fictionist began in its earliest formation as Good Morning Maxfield in 2007 and released an eponymous album under that name. Fictionist formed in their current configuration to release their first album Invisible Hand in 2009. Their most recent album, Free Spirit, which has been described to be âclean and modernâ with roots in âindie pop and indie rockâ.
SHOW SPOTLIGHT:
Looking for a mix of genres and catchy songs? Tune into Gargle and Rinse with host Harper Horton! The fifth year Audio/Radio production major explains the show as a mess of songs as if âI am throwing it in there and spitting it outâ. Her philosophy on what songs go into the playlist is âif itâs catchy and I can sing along, I like it.â The show is for everyone, no discrimination to any genre or songs and itâs made for anyoneâs taste in music, because everyone loves a good variety music hour!
Be sure to tune into WCVF FM 88.9 on  Thursdays at 2pm to join in on the fun of Gargle and Rinse with Harper Horton!
We will be doing a live broadcast from the Williams Center MPR from 9pm to 1am! Stop by, or tune in at WCVF or WDVL!
TOP 5 ARTISTS OF THE WEEK:
STEP ROCKETS: Back at the number one spot on the TOP 5, Step Rockets have developed a reputation as one of the most exciting new live bands on the scene, seamlessly blending wailing guitar solos and anthemic melodies with infectious dance grooves. Comprised of Josh Von Mink, John Synhavsky, Brady Lillie, and Anthony Schulz, the band has found the right balance between refining their classic sound, and embracing their new one. Although Future Nature is the bandâs debut release, it sounds nothing like what one would expect a debut album to sound. The release is polished and compelling, and is proof that Step Rockets have something new to bring to the table, in the form of electo-pop punk mixtures.
COAST MODERN: Another band returning to their spot on the TOP 5, this Los Angeles-based duo, who infuse their breezy, west coast electro-pop with elements of hip-hop and indie rock, Coast Modern was started by Luke Atlas and Coleman Trapp. After two years of failing to cast their creations into the mainstream, Trapp retreated to Denver, Colorado to get a little perspective, and began writing songs for himself, rather than the latest tastemaker. He would send theses back to Atlas, who would add bits of production, and before long, Atlas was back in L.A., and Coast Modern was born. Their first single, Hollow Life, in 2015, drew rave reviews and comparisons to artists like Grouplove, Cage the Elephant, Twenty-One Pilots, and Alt-J. A second single, Animals, followed in 2016.
NOFX: Back on the TOP 5 for a second week, and formed in Berkeley, California, in 1983, NOFX is an American punk rock band that rose to popularity with their fifth studio album Punk in Drublic in 1994. NOFXâs mainstream success was signified by a growing interest in punk rock during the 1990s, but unlike many of their contemporaries (including Bad Religion, Green Day and The Offspring), they have never been signed to a major label. First Ditch Effort is the thirteenth studio album, released on October 7, 2016. It is the bandâs first studio album since 2012âs Self Entitled, marking the longest gap between two NOFX studio albums to date.
FICTIONIST: An alternative rock band from Provo, Utah, the band Fictionist began in its earliest formation as Good Morning Maxfield in 2007 and released an eponymous album under that name. Fictionist formed in their current configuration to release their first album Invisible Hand in 2009. Their most recent album, Free Spirit, which has been described to be âclean and modernâ with roots in âindie pop and indie rockâ.
BALANCE AND COMPOSURE: From Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Balance and Composure is an American alt-rock band that formed in the winter of 2007 after the breakup of two local Doylestown bands. The band's music is often suggested having similarities to Title Fight, Brand New, and Nirvana. They've released three studio albums and five EPs since their inception. Developing an effective, muddy, emo, hardcore post-grunge sound, the band has just released 2016's Light We Made, the band's much-anticipated third studio long-player, where the band incorporated electronic elements into their sound.
Check back next week for more TOP 5!

"Being able to explore new music everyday, play what you want, and express creativity is what I like about college radio. I also love learning the history of the station and how it has changed and stayed the same throughout the years."
"Being a part of college radio has given me so many opportunities and a group of awesome friends."
Lucas Rinaldi: "Joining the radio station has made me feel more connected to campus and Iâve made new friends along the way."
Liam Sloan: "I really took for granted about the work that goes into being a part of a radio station, and I have really learned a lot in the short time that I have been here."
"College radio provides an outlet for people not familiar with the profession, and it allows us to freely express and create, as well as gain relevant job experience. And the radio station is such a fun family environment that has given me so many fun memories!"
"College radio has given me the chance to meet new people and has helped me discover what I want to do for the rest of my life.â
