The dreaded Memorial Day Weekend playlist. What a hassle.
It’s a loooooong long weekend and you need a whole lot of music to fill it. Your hastily made playlist of hits and throwbacks just isn't appropriate for all the situations you may find yourself in. Fortunately for you, we’re here to help you select the best music for all your festivities!
Beach: You want something as hot as the sun you’re soaking in. Something with as much variety as the colors of the beach towels and umbrellas surrounding you. Something fresh, something new. Something that everybody can enjoy.
Music Pulse
House Party: You want something with bass & beat. Hits that are good to dance to and talk loudly over. Something that will make the neighbors skip the noise complaint and want to come on over to join in on the fun.
Hip Hop Beat
Road Trip: Called shotgun? That means you’re in control of the radio. It doesn’t matter what the driver says, the passenger seat is the official DJ spot. You’re all in the car for the long haul, and need something to kill the time. You need an entire decade of songs you know by heart and can sing to at the top of your lungs.
80s Hits
Backyard BBQ: Smoke rising from the different kinds of grilling meats. Lawn chairs set up in a large, misshapen circle. Grass that you’re now realizing could use some weed killer. A kiddie pool that you’ll soon be enjoying it more than the children who are running wild. You want something American. You want something that reminds you of your good friends and the town you grew up, but in a “This new song is awesome” kind of way.
Country Roads
Boat: You’re on a boat. What else do you need? Great music, that’s what. So get your towels ready, it's about to go down. You need something to blast loud, because this boat is REAL.
Electronic
Fire Pit: It’s time to relax. Time to wind down. You’re tired from being in the sun all day, but the heat from the burning wood, twigs, cardboard boxes, and whatever else you threw in there feels amazing during the cool, early-summer night. Talk to your friends, keep it burning and, most importantly, keep it smooth.
Smooth Jazz
Hope this helps make the chore of creating the perfect Memorial Day Weekend playlist a thing of the past!
TuneIn Secures All-Star Broadcast Roster for Live Daily MLB Coverage
Today we’re excited to announce the talent lineup for our new live coverage of the 2016 Major League Baseball season on MLB on TuneIn, kicking off its first show tonight.
21-year veteran pitcher LaTroy ‘Hawk’ Hawkins, former Dodgers General Manager and current team advisor Ned Colletti, World Series-winning infielder Geoff Blum and versatile radio host Holden Kushner round out TuneIn’s lineup of baseball voices bringing live daily coverage to its dedicated MLB on TuneIn station.
Hawkins, Colletti and Blum will rotate in the analyst role alongside Kushner Monday through Friday from 7:00 p.m. – Midnight ET. Broadcast live from TuneIn Studios in Venice, CA, the five-hour show will provide listeners with drop-ins from local radio coverage of in-progress MLB games, plus post-game interviews and analysis.
“We are excited to have assembled an informative group of talent to kick off our latest original content venture that highlights the action and provides insightful analysis to break it down for the fans listening on TuneIn,” said Kevin Straley, TuneIn Chief Content Officer. “Baseball is the original audio sport and we are excited to enhance the experience for TuneIn listeners with the most timely updates from across all thirty Major League ballparks.
Despite holding the distinction of the league’s oldest active player at the time of his retirement in 2015, Hawkins is the broadcast rookie amongst the foursome, beginning his career in sports broadcasting with TuneIn. Hawkins capped off an incredible 21-year playing career with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015, making 18 regular season appearances on the mound for a 1-0 record, earning 14 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings. Throughout his career, Hawkins played for 11 different clubs, making an appearance in the 2007 World Series with the Colorado Rockies, as well as an ALCS appearance in his final playing year with the Blue Jays. His 1,042 games pitched make him the most-recent member of the 1,000-games pitch club.
As a native of Illinois, Colletti began his MLB front office career in 1982 with his hometown Chicago Cubs. He spent 13 years there before joining the San Francisco Giants, first as the Director of Baseball Operations before being promoted to Assistant General Manager in 1996. During the 10 years he spent in San Francisco, the Giants compiled an 813-644 (.558) record. In 2005, Colletti became the 10th General Manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers where over the nine seasons he was at the helm, the Dodgers won five division titles in nine years, 14 playoff games and made back-to-back NLCS appearances in 2008 and 2009. Colletti remains active within the Dodgers organization as Special Advisor to the President and CEO. He also contributes to Dodgers broadcast coverage on Sportsnet LA.
During his 14-year career in the majors, Blum was an infielder for six different teams. He retired with an impressive batting average of .250, 99 home runs and 479 RBIs. Blum played a pivotal role in the Chicago White Sox’s 2005 World Series Championship, hitting a home run in the top of the 14thinning of game three to give Chicago the win. Following his playing career, Blum immediately transitioned to broadcasting, serving as the Houston Astros TV analyst since 2013, and is also a college baseball analyst with Pac-12 Networks.
Kushner brings more than 15 years broadcasting experience to TuneIn, as a sports radio and television host. Most recently, Kushner was a studio host for MASN, which broadcasts Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles games. He was also the midday host on 106.7 The Fan in Washington, D.C. covering the D.C. sports landscape. Prior to WJFK, he could be heard on a number of Sirius XM channels including MLB Network Radio and the SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Channel.
TuneIn’s daily MLB show will be available to all subscribers on the MLB on TuneIn station, which currently features daily recaps and press conferences from around Major League Baseball, plus team-specific channels with news and analysis. Programming on the MLB on TuneIn station complements the MLB content offering on the TuneIn Premium level of service that includes home and away feeds for every game, from Spring Training to the World Series.
Fans can subscribe to TuneIn Premium or sign up for a free trial via TuneIn.com, iOS and Android apps. Catch up with the guys on Twitter at @MLBonTuneIn.
Radio In Review Goes Around the World: The best storytelling abroad
Despite the ease with which we can discover new programs to listen to, there are many celebrated foreign projects that still slip under our radar. We wanted to share a few of our favorites audio programs from outside the US, which have remained well-kept secrets to American audiences, but are big deals back home. Brilliant storytelling combined with accented narration? Get ready to be transported!
Radiotonic (Australia)
“Some days I like to think of it as a kind of audio curiosity journal,” said Radiotonic’s affable and mischievous host, Jesse Cox, who introduces each 30-minute episode with a hop and a skip. If the show’s enemy is the dull and prescriptive, then it casts itself as both an intelligent and cheeky pillager, leaving no stories unturned from its home country (Australia) and the world over—from French experimental literary groups (“Infiltrating Oulipo”) to a young man who follows his pirate-costumed lady love from suburban Australia all the way to Paris (“A magnanimous gesture in international relations”). To say that Radiotonic’s episode “The Real Tom Banks”—which won the Best Documentary Silver Award at the 2014 Third Coast International Audio Festival—“doesn’t sound like anything I’ve heard before” sounds stale, but stale-sounding things are often true. The show’s method and style allow it to pillage even-handedly, often playfully, making it clear that culture, a heady mix by nature, is begging to be heard, not just listened to. Radiotonic was created in 2014 as part of two projects (Soundproof, which also makes great radio art, was the other) from the newly created Creative Audio Unit at ABC Radio National. Cox, who is inspired by other radio shows and art forms, like Jervis Cocker's Wireless Nights, CBC’s Wiretap (now retired), Tim Key’s comedy and Gogol's Overcoat, hopes to “keep experimenting and creating a space for play on the podcast.”
Documentary on One (Ireland)
A brief breakdown of Irish public radio: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) is Ireland’s public media broadcaster; Radio 1 is RTÉ’s principal radio station and the most listened to radio station in Ireland; the award-winning Documentary on One, which RTÉ Radio 1 launched in 1987, may be the station’s crown jewel. Though the team only consists of five full-time producers, the show has collected over 150 national and international awards throughout the last eight years alone—from Los Angeles to London, Berlin to Tehran, Kuala Lumpur to Dublin. Documentary on One’s website is also home to the largest free online radio documentary archive anywhere in the world, with almost 1,500 documentaries, some dating as far back as 1954. Two of my favorite radio documentaries from the last decade include the show’s “Message in a Bottle” (2012) (an American serviceman’s carefully bottled note is discovered by a young dairymaid on the shores of County Kerry) and “Birdy” (2010) (a paragliding champion is sucked into a storm that pulls her higher than Mount Everest). Our sneak peek of 2016 promises another exciting year with an eclectic mix of tales—searching for the last hangman of Ireland, a grandmother who can't give up shoplifting, a son who goes in search of his father’s legacy, a re-imagining of an epic event in Ireland's history...
TubeFlash (United Kingdom)
Chalk Farm, Mornington Crescent, Euston, King’s Cross. Within a blink of roughly 300 words (which at times verges on poetry), I tiptoe along the rails of the stations along the Northern Line that I have come to know well, finding them transformed and reimagined by someone else. Two of newly launched TubeFlash’s major partners—BBC ARTS and Transport for London—corroborate the podcast’s unifying motif, where creative storytelling meets urban engagement: flash fiction inspired by the London Underground. Scientific inquiry has yet to conclude whether the average Underground commuter—expressionless, self-contained, pointedly shielded by iPhones or the Evening Standard—would display any emotional reaction if a Tube car inexplicably flooded with boiling tea. The London Underground is possibly the most iconic global transportation system to best capture its culture’s defining characteristic—the British “stiff upper lip.” If administered as a public service by its first namesake, TubeFlash— whose tales span genres, from romantic comedy to crime drama—could help to loosen the rigid jawlines of many Londoners.
