Yesterday, my bagel-loving people were forced to go an entire day without food, and with tummies rumbling, we made it through the daytime sans sandwich or sauerkraut. And, though it was a challenge, I’m giving you the opportunity to try it out for yourself, just with your ears instead of your intestines.

A Friday night in a campustown is a guarantee that at some point you’ll hear a Pussycat Dolls-Rihanna-Journey megamix. But tonight is different from all other nights — OverUC forbades you from doing it!

(Ok, it’s not as scary as God’s wrath and possible non-inscription into the Book of Life, but hey, there’s only so much fearmongering you can do via a local music blog.)

Why ponder if a song is sung by Britney Spears or Miley Cyrus? Why wait in the bar lines on-campus with 45 year olds wanting to relive their glory years? Instead, gather round the radio (or a computer, like a new-age fireside chat) from 10 – midnight and listen to DJ Mertz spinning on WPGU 107.1 (or take a listen at the217.com, for you computerized folk.) Good tunes, good times, no generic pop-rap-rock tunes. Happy Yom Kippur Musicur!
