So We Have A Blog Now, FYI.
November 06, 2013 | Blog, Music,
Hey Party People,
KCOU has been bringing music to Columbia’s airwaves for the last 50 years (lookin’ pretty good for 50, right?) but we think it’s time to expand. Now that we’ve got this shiny new site the next big endeavor for us is this music blog. It’s been a long time coming and after a Buster Bluth-esque gestational period, it’s time to bring our new baby into the world. Hopefully, it’s not violent and bloody, but hey, that would be pretty badass.
My goal with this is to what we do best on air, presenting new interesting music and unique points of view, but expand it and take advantage of all the extra stuff the web lets us do. Listening to the radio isn’t always something you can do, so come here to keep up with new jams, KCOU content, and local music. We all know your laptop isn’t solely used for notes during lecture and we’re huge fans of multitasking so why not come check us out?
Look out for daily music news updates about new tracks, albums, and whatever else we feel like telling you about. We also have a bunch of features and columns that are going to start rolling out in the next week or so. Covering everything from “need to hear bands”, interviews with local artists, and opinion pieces describing what it means to be a music fan theres a little bit of everything and we’re pretty positive all of it isn’t awful.
I want KCOU to be a voice online as well as on the air. Need something new to listen to? Come here. Want to know what shows to see this week? We’ll tell you. There’s about a frillion bands in this town and you should know about them.
Not gonna lie, this is new for me, the station, and our writers so it may be a bumpy roll out, but bare with us.
The captains of this pirate ship are, myself, Elle Hoffman serving as Editor-In-Chief, and Emily Holtzman, my Assistant-Editor-In-Chief. Our info is on the Writers page if you have questions, submissions, feel like asking us on a date, or just want to do some blind internet bullying (although that is the least preferable option).
Check Ya Later,
Elle Hoffman, Editor-In-Chief
