WSUM Live from the Project Lodge Benefit Concert
The Project Lodge is a performance space and art gallery that is 100% volunteer powered and donation driven. WSUM teamed up with the Majestic Theater to broadcast the Project Lodge Benefit concert live. The show was dedicated to keeping a vital community hub's lights on, so the Project Lodge can remain a home for Madison's artists, musicians, filmmakers, and authors. The show featured Julian Lynch, Icarus Himself, Whitney Mann, Anna Vogelzang, and All Tiny Creatures. Take a look at the awesome time we had!
WSUM at Pitchfork 2011 (Spencer Wells)
Stories of WSUM's DJ Spencer Wells's trip of Pitchfork Music Festival!
Show of the Week- Beats in the Fourth Dimension
Time: 8pm Mondays
Host Info: Dylan Blaiwes, aka DJ Vitamin D (Junior, Nutritional Sciences)
What is your show like? An hour of epic electronica (mostly electro-house) from the latest DJs/Artists from around the world and outer space, studded with witty remarks and informative anecdotes form yours truly.
Why should people listen to your show? It's hotter than lava
How long have you had a show at WSUM? 2 years
What do you do outside of the station? Study, cook, listen to bangers, relax with amigos, nerd out with computers, the usual.
Favorite Music: Electro, House, Electronica and variations thereof. Really, anything that sounds good.
Make-your-own question: Favorite food? I enjoy a good salad.

WSUM DJs in the News
The Badger Herald article, Hey Mr. DJ featured many DJs from the station. Congrats guys!
Show of the Week- Night of the Living Shred
Time: Friday 9pm
Host Info: Sawyer J. Hildebrandt (Junior, Life Sciences Communication Major)
What is your show like? One hour of the world's greatest guitar players. Non-stop, in-your-face shred action. 100% pure awesomeness.
Why should people listen to your show? I'm always trying to find new music for the show to bring the people, so the show is always fresh & exciting. Plus, it's pretty much the only radio show in the world dedicated to shred.
How long have you had a show at WSUM? Almost 3 years. I feel old...
What do you do outside of the station? I'm a guitar player (obviously) in the Madison metal band, My Fair Share. I also run a music blog, nightofthelivingshred.net. Other than that, I spend the rest of my time being Program Director here at WSUM.
Favorite Music: Well I've been a metal head forever, but I also listen to a lot of jazz fusion and Gypsy Jazz. Django Reinhardt is the shit.
Make-your-own-question: "What are you doing to prepare for the coming zombie apocalypse?": Watching as many zombie movies as I can to see what not to do, and planning out the optimal location to build my zombie-proof fortress. So far I've narrowed it down to an underwater sea lab, or Vilas Hall, because even zombies will get lost in that maze.
Show of the Week- Impressions of the Past
Time: Fridays 3-4pm
Host Info: Spencer Wells (Human Geography, Junior). My co-host is Amanda Kievet (International Studies, Sophomore)
What is your show like?:A couple of rad cats playing new jams and the classics they remind us of with an emphasis on Wisconsin and live music.
Why should people listen to your show?:We play a lot of live bootlegs and exclusive stuff, a good mix of old and new and a bunch of genres. This week, we'll be playing some live recordings from our SXSW unofficial showcase, SXWI so that should be great.
How long have you had a show at WSUM?: almost a year
What do you do outside of the station?: We have a music blog called Urban Agrarian that is related to our show and includes photos and videos of shows. Through that we also organize local shows. We're both avid photogs who shoot film. I work at STS [Software Training for Students] and do freelance photo, video and tech consulting. Ride fixed gear bikes and skateboard.
Favorite Music: Vern [Bon Iver, Volcano Choir, GAYNGS, DeYarmond Edison, Shouting Matches], Moen [Peter Wolf Crier, Laarks, Amateur Love], Dylan, Beatles, Marley, Chaz [Toro Y Moi]. Anything that rules. Some of my favorite genres are rock n roll, folk, indie, bluegrass, jazz and funk.
Make-your-own Question: What was your favorite vacation?- I had an awesome road trip experience last week driving down to Austin, TX with all my friends for SXSW. It was beautiful the whole week and I enjoyed lots of good music and food. Austin is like a bigger Madison in a nicer climate. I took a lot of photos in a new place which was really refreshing.
