Lots of music out there is just a little bit different, and that’s the common thread running through the songs on this playlist. The experimental, unconventional, and slightly off: all are highlighted in “Left Field Favorites”. From the careening krautrock of Can to the intricately programmed techno of Autechre, tune in for music that makes you think.

Ridiculous
The summer Spotify series continues. Here’s what DJ Gracie Gonzalez has to say about her playlist, “Ridiculous”.
I crafted this playlist at the beginning of summer, imagining my friends and I piling into cars with beach chairs and boogie boards. It’s mainly a mix of 50s-style doo-wop and Spanish music. The fast-paced happiness spawning from the combination of those genres spoke “summer” to me this year. A couple of 80s and 90s gems are thrown in there to break up the monotony but every song featured is certifiably merry.
‘Nuff said. If you like what you hear, be sure to tune into Gracie’s show Heena Koona in the fall.

Bonnaroo 2014- The Highlights
My attendance a few weeks ago at the strange 4-day escape from reality called Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival marked my fifth year at the event. Early on every year the same doubtful thought runs through my mind: Why do I continue year after year to put myself through this? Sometime between my first use of the less than gleaming porta-potties and the realization that yes, I would indeed be this sweaty and disheveled for the next four days, that moment of panic comes.

Bring the Sun!
Next up in our series of summer Spotify Playlists, 3 hours of picks from DJ Brett Tregoning. Featuring Brian Eno, Death Grips, Aesop Rock, Animal Collective, and much more. For more like it, be sure to check out Brett’s show “Diabeatus” this fall!
Here’s what Brett has to say about it:
Hey WRVU! Summer is well underway and, if you’re anything like me, that means hour and a half long commutes into major metropolitan areas for your internship! Here are some of the tunes that have been keeping me company in the car this summer. These should keep your mind off of the road rage. I have included some Death Grips just in case you need something to blast out your windows to intimidate your fellow motorists.
