SONG OF THE DAY: Sharon Van Etten — “Serpents”
Sharon Van Etten is a more-than sensational singer/songwriter and person, or so I am pretty positive from what I’ve read and/or seen. “Serpents” is the single from her album due out in February of next year.
SONG OF THE DAY: Prince — “I Wanna Be Your Lover”
I wanna turn you on, turn you out, all night long, make you shout.
SONG OF THE DAY: Gotye — “Somebody That I Used to Know”
Gotye is a solo act from Belgium. This song features Kimbra, and the video for it is really awesome. The picture above is a clip from the video to give you an idea.

SONG OF THE DAY — Fitz & the Tantrums “Don’t Gotta Work It Out”
This song has been in my head all week. This band is futuristic and a throwback at once. I love ‘em. If you’re lucky, this song may be played at the carriage house this weekend…
FEATURED SHOW: Theme Party with A-Strauss — Saturdays 5-7pm
A-Strauss crafts inventive and ambitious playlists to get you going every Saturday evening. Organized around a single theme (this week’s was “crime”), each show is an exercise in creative juxtaposition, bringing together songs from accross genres and time periods in unpredictable ways. This is what college radio is all about.

SONG OF THE DAY: Portage — “Into the River”
“Into the River” is one of the standout tracks from Portage’s debut album released earlier this year.
SONG OF THE DAY: Parov Stelar – “The Mojo Radio Gang”
What does this 36 year old Austrian know about jazz and swing? Plenty apparently.
SONG OF THE DAY: The Submarines — “You, Me & The Bourgeoisie”
The Submarines are a two-member band from LA who’ve been around since 2006.
SONG OF THE DAY: BlakRoc – “Ain’t Nothing Like You”
BlakRoc is The Black Key’s hip hop/rap side project, combining their soulful bluesy sounds with a variety of rappers from Mos Def to Ludacris.
SONG OF THE DAY: Russian Circles – “309”
The first track off the new Russian Circles album Empros is dense, bleak, and sprawling. Listen and connect yourself to the autumnal node.
FEATURED SHOW: Sunday Brunch with Tom and Drew — Sundays 2-3pm
Sunday Brunch with Tom and Drew is a radio program to bring the masses together. It was created with a vision to share with the world the two things that Drew and Tom hold most dearly: Music and Brunch. Since the technology to deliver food through the airwaves does not yet exist, Tom and Drew can merely provide you with a lovely range of soundtracks to sooth the mind and titillate the ears. So chef up some eggs and tune in to SOCC on Sundays from 2-3pm. For more information and random musings, check them out on Facebook

SONG OF THE DAY: Penguin Prison – “Don’t Fuck With My Money”
Penguin Prison (AKA Chris Glover) Just dropped a new album. It’s like the 80′s just fell out of some sort of neon dance timewarp into your speakers.
SONG OF THE DAY: Ingrid Michaelson — “You and I”
This song has been playing a lot in our hall, thanks Gabi! Ingrid Michaelson’s voice is like heaven, damn.
SONG OF THE DAY: Wild Child – “Pillow Talk”
Wild Child is the blogosphere’s new folk lovechild. You can expect it to appear on many best albums of the year lists. It’s honest, sweet and playful.
