New This Week on Squish: 10 March 2012

I’m having a lot of fun programming Squish, a commercial-free online alt-rock radio station for Astral radio. They basically said to me “Do what you want.  Program it the way you feel is right.”  Why would I say no?

There are some frustrations, though. Licensing music from rightsholders and labels in this country can still be a major, major hassle (EMI!  GET IT TOGETHER!  DON’T YOU WANT EXPOSURE FOR ALL YOUR ARTISTS?) which means there’s still a lot of music I can’t include in the stream.  But we’ve got people working on it so I’m hopeful that things will soon get sorted out.

New to the station this week:

Big Wreck, “Albatross”

School of Seven Bells, “The Night”

Xiu Xiu, “Joey’s Song”

Mona, “Lean into the Fall”

Instructions on how to get to Squish are after the jump.  Meanwhile, have a look at this week’s 30 most-played songs.

After that, look for the Squish graphic down and to the right. Hit “play” and you’re in. I hope you enjoy Squish.
