Week VI

So you may be wondering, why have I neglected the V, week five (5)? You see, I am following the academic term week numberings here at Drexel University, and due to the fact that last week's radio show was forgone, I skipped to Week 6, VI.

I hope you're still enjoying the classical sonorites being conveyed to you each Monday night from 8 pm (with the exception of last week) to 10 pm, from the transmitter at the top of Van Rensselaer Hall to your antennae and into and out of your speakers wherever you may be listening, in Philadelphia or beyond.

This week's playlist can be found here.

Standout tracks include Rossini's Guillaume Tell: Overture, performed by Lamberto Gardelli and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which I'm quite sure has been featured in cartoons I have watched as a child (A bullfight comes to mind). If you know which particular ones, please notify me via comment or email at tenselesssensations@gmail.com.

And, finally, *drumrollllllllll* the local artist of the week: Trophy Wife. They recently played a benefit for the charitable organization Decarcerate PA (which aims to decrease funding on prisons and focus more on education). I'll not delve into the politics of it, but Trophy Wife is a band made up of two young women who play loud, aggressive punk rock. Their live shows are purely entertaining, featuring the aforementioned hard rock juxtaposed with entertaining banter between songs. Check out their bandcamp below.


Also of note is a one man band called Gull, also out of Philadelphia. He plays the guitar and drums at once, look him up and go see him to be amazed and incredified, I command you.

Thanks for reading, and as usual, I'll catch you all Monday at 8. Alsodon'tforgettofollowmeontwitter.
