A salute to the West Coast and one of our favorite labels, Italians Do It Better. With a fill-in donated by our long-time friends at Purple Starlight, we play four hours of the label’s best-foot forward in Los Angeles-based synth-pop, electronic, and dance from most of its marquee artists, After Dark compilations, soundtrack scores, and their nod to Twin Peaks’ with Julee Cruise.
Some songs played on previous Omega broadcasts.
Next deluxe Omega airs May 4, 2019 (10PM New York City time) and our final Spring broadcast of this decade airs May 18, 2019 (10PM New York City time). We now have all of our summer deluxe and bonus broadcasts lined up and ready to air. We promise to deal our best cards for these shows.
Always thank you for tuning in to Omega.

Italians Do It Better 2017 Winners And Purchases:
During the summer and early Autumn, Johnny Jewel of Italians Do It Better announced a few free giveaways of damaged goods, first-come first-served. We at Omega WUSB had played a good amount of artists from their label since our beginning, thanks to our friends at Mix Tape Radio when they played Glass Candy’s “Warm In The Winter” (2011). So why not jump at the opportunity for free records from one of our favorite labels? All of them, according to Jewel, were discs and vinyl records scuffed, creased, and cosmetically damaged inbetween transit from the pressing plants; so he gave those imperfect copies to those who e-mailed them with the lyric of the week. The Los Angeles label had many giveaways (including the occasional poster) and we managed to win five of them. Not bad for us and even better for Italians Do It Better, because when they just re-issued their once-vinyl titles on disc for a lower price, it prompted us to make an order with them.
In the past, we played many of the labels cuts and they became personal favorites of mine as they symbolized one great spring and summertime re-acquainting with a lost interest and watermarking one-of-a-kind memories. As mentioned, “Warm In The Winter” was the one that introduced us to the label and made us do a run of theirs. Then we found Desire’s “Mirroir Mirroir” (2009), which became one of our all-time personal favorites. Chromatics’ “Tick Of The Clock” (2012), Twisted Wires “One Night At The Raw Deal” (2009), Nite Jewel’s “We Want Our Things” (2010), Glass Candy’s “Digital Versicolor” (2007), and Mike Simonetti’s “The Third Of The Storms” solidified our first spring broadcasting season when we were getting into chillwave and synthpop. Mike Simonetti’s “The Magician” (2013) and Glass Candy’s “Redheads Feel More Pain” (2013) made a personal summer soundtrack more special than expected. Only one release we failed to get was Farah’s “Gay Boy” (2008) simply because it was unavailable. We’ll always remember that one. With all this signed, sealed, and delivered, it’s now time we catch up and fill in some holes in our label’s collection.
We were delighted receiving both packages in the mail in recent months without notice, stickered and even autographed by Jewel himself. We really liked that, which is why we made another order just so we feel that Los Angeles Italians’ magic one more time.
