💖 PSYCHIC READER TOUR 💖 

We have one more week to go on leg one of our PR 10 year anniversary tour! It’s been wonderful to play these songs for you and represent our beloved Minneapolis on the road. We can’t wait to cap off this run with a hometown show at @firstavenue on Valentine’s Day. 💘 

We will be selling a *special* merch item at the show and donating the proceeds to local mutual aid, so get your tix and get there in plenty of time to see @smut.online open the show. 🎸

It meant a lot to sit in on one of my all time favorite radio shows, Stone Cold Bikini on WRUW. The show is hosted by Christine Hahn, who started it at the college radio station in the spring of 2000. Christine co-hosts with Ed Zeitz, a retired IT professional who has also hosted the long running and much loved show Chasing Infinity on WRUW since 2004.

Stone Cold Bikini features a mix of rock and alternative tracks that reflect the station’s focus on eclectic, less mainstream music. It was incredible to watch them work, carefully curating songs for listeners who have been tuning in for years. Christine works full time as a graphic designer and still feels lucky to spin records every Saturday morning for so many of us who have been tuning in for years, as well as people like me who have been listening since the beginning.

Getting to talk on air with Hahn and Zeitz about the Cleveland Public Library, archiving local stories, and our shared love of local music was unforgettable. Both spoke about how being on air helped them find themselves and become part of a community, discovering who they were while connecting with others who shared the same curiosity and hunger for music.

That is exactly why so many of us were crushed when WCSB was taken off the air without warning. No one promotes local bands like college radio. Stations like WRUW were built around the Cleveland community, especially for those of us who grew up before the internet, when finding your people often meant finding the right station. College radio is still important and needs to be championed. Sitting in that studio with Hahn and Zeitz, hearing the music and conversation flow, reminded me that local music has always mattered here, and that having champions like Hahn and Zeitz still does.
