The Driver Era: “Keep Moving Forward” (2022)

Afternoons at WUSB mean some of our newjack student dee-jays play it safe and play over-amplified pop such as “Keep Moving Forward”. There’s zero doubt that this flashy Daft Punk simile will make hundreds of thousands of listener’s Spotify playlists when the sun comes. So this had us thinking: how close had Omega WUSB played over-charged pop such as this on our station’s airwaves? Two remixes of Jagwar Ma’s “Uncertainty” from Ewan Pearson and MssingNo (’14), Kania’s remix of Odesza’s “It’s Only” (’16), two songs from George Clanton, and some half-intensive chillwave in our earlier years. (How cringe would it been if we reached for Saint Pepsi? That would’ve haunted us for the rest of our show’s tenure.) Because this doesn’t fit our sound, “Keep Moving Forward” is out of contention for our show.

Stella Donnelly Beware Of The Dogs UK, European, and American olive 12″ (2019) 

Fun fact: just learned that Ewan Pearson produced Donnelly’s debut record. That name sounds familiar to me: he also remixed Jagwar Ma’s “Uncertainty” (’14), a favorite summer pop tune of mine.

A thick saucy-looking olive vinyl pressing goes out to the UK, the states, and the Europeans.

Confidence Man have shared their glorious new single 'Does It Make You Feel Good?' - tune in now.

The band's raw exuberance shines through with each note, and this evident on their sparkling new single.

A real sad-bop from the outrageous Australians, Confidence Man describe 'Does It Make You Feel Good?' as "dance pop that sounds like Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder..."

They add: "Feelings are in right now and we’ve got some for you. Watch out, ‘cause the dance floor is wet with tears. Open up, and let us travel the waterslide deep into your heart."
