Radio star
Last week I was contacted by KUT 90.5 FM in Austin to see if I was willing to be interviewed for their Texas Music Matters radio show. Typically TMM focuses on Austin bands but occasionally they reach out to music journalists elsewhere to see what bands are making waves in other Texas towns. On Wednesday I went to KUHF to record my segment over their fancy pants hi-def phone lines. I talked about a band from Houston I’m super psyched about, Roky Moon and Bolt.
I’ve done radio before, but it’s been a looong time. I was really nervous, so I kind of come off sounding wooden. You can listen online here. My segment starts at about the 31-minute mark, but the whole show is worth listening to so you can get a sneak preview of the new Spoon album and other awesome Texas musicians.
BTW, David Brown’s voice is just as soothing over the phone as it is on the radio. This was a lot of fun and I’m hoping it turns into a regular collaboration. Next time around I’ll sound a bit more relaxed. Now is the point where I gush about how awesome my job is. I am so grateful to be able to combine two things I love — music and journalism.
