Yale Men’s Hockey now on WYBC-AM 1340 and WYBC.com!

Evan Frondorf — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:51:36 +0000

WYBC Yale Radio is very excited to announce that, starting tomorrow (Friday, February 1), all home games and select road games of the #7/8 Yale men’s hockey team schedule will be available over-the-air on WYBC-AM 1340.

This exciting partnership with the WSHU Public Radio Group will allow us to reach a much wider audience in New Haven and southern Connecticut, and we couldn’t be more excited. There are now three ways to listen to Yale men’s hockey on WYBC:

1. A live, direct stream of the broadcast on WYBC.com, available on computers and mobile devices.
2. A stream of WYBC-AM available on the TuneIn smartphone app (Apple, Android, Windows Phone, and Blackberry devices) and on TuneIn.com athttp://tunein.com/radio/WYBC-1340-s24123/
3. And of course, the over-the-air broadcast on WYBC-AM 1340.

Our pregame coverage of both games this weekend will start at 6:45 pm EST, which includes our interview with Yale head coach Keith Allain, but only on WYBC.com. AM coverage will begin immediately at 7 pm and will be identical to the WYBC.com broadcast.

Evan Frondorf ’14 will have the call along with Alex Eppler ’16 tomorrow vs. Princeton. Konrad Coutinho ’13 and Nell Meosky ’14 will be calling the game vs. #2 Quinnipiac. Tara Abraham ’14 will help engineer from the station.

In the meantime, spring programming began yesterday so check out the new schedule and tune in!

WYBC’s 2012 Power Rankings — Sponsored by Sure-Winn

TH0M@$ — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:30:58 +0000

So, 2012 has come and gone, and you’ve all read how everyone else felt about the year. There was a lot of good music, a lot of bad music, and a lot of middling material. But, our opinions matter the most. Hip-hop (and sketchy capitalization) ruled our charts, but there was a lot of diversity throughout the poll, with around forty different albums listed by WYBCers in their respective lists. However, we had to come to some conclusions using the power of weighted averages, and here they are:

WYBC’s Five Favorite Albums of 2012

1. Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d city
2. Frank Ocean – channel ORANGE
3. Grimes – Visions
4. Julia Holter – Ekstasis
5. Grizzly Bear – Shields

WYBC’s Five Favorite Songs of 2012

1. Kanye West – White Dress

2. Miguel – Adorn
3. Frank Ocean – Thinkin Bout You
4. Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe
5. Burial – Ashtray Wasp

WYBC’s Favorite Free Release of 2012

Beat Culture – Tokyo Dreamer

WYBC’s Three Favorite WYBC Parties Hosted by WYBC

1. The Halloween / Dress As Your Favorite Album Party
2. “Underground Dance Party”
3. Soulful House Rhythms

Average Hotness of WYBC Executive Board (1 – 5, 5 being hottest):

4.133

Choice Comments and Suggestions for the Coming Semester:

“get naked with [Mudkip]” (real name withheld)
“more dj set dance parties + projections & trippy visuals, etc.”
“…turn a profit, ya dig???”
“WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!”

Stay tuned for album reviews and other goodies. Sorry about the Carly Rae Jepsen…

Konrad’s Farewell Address

DJ KONRAD — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:49:18 +0000

Earlier today I gave my Farewell Address as General Manager. It’s my last day leading the station, so I said a few words sharing my wisdom from the past year and my hopes and dreams for WYBC.

I gave three points of advice I think are important for all members. I thanked everybody who contributed to the past year of progress and discussed some of my favorite memories. And I ended with a call to action for all of us to preserve the immense history and traditions we uphold at this station. Listen in – you might learn something.

Length: 10 minutes 43 seconds

Also, the pic below basically somes up how I have felt for the past year. Thanks guys.

WHO IS CAPTAIN MURPHY?

zwickileakz — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 04:07:46 +0000

THE mysterious rapper, signed to West Coast Hip-Hop/Electronic label Brainfeeder, has the internet salivating over his identity. Popular rumors? Flying Lotus, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Jay Electronica, MF Doom, some other member of Odd Future, some other artist on Brainfeeder, Rejjie Snow, or some collaboration between some of the artists above. Maybe he’s a collaboration between all of Odd Future and Brainfeeder.

Or maybe he’s someone completely different.

The deluxe version of his debut mixtape “Duality” drops tonight, and you can get it for free at the link below. Whoever he is, he’s big enough to get production from Madlib, Just Blaze, TNGHT, Flying Lotus, and Samiyam on these tracks.

Update: Flying Lotus revealed himself to be Captain Murphy at a live show last night in Los Angeles.

Zig Ziglar is Dead @81 :( But still the #1 Motivator :)

DJ Hero — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:36:33 +0000

This is the one and only Zig Ziglar, as we honor his name because he died today and was one of the great motivational / sales speakers of his time. He talks about Yale at the beginning of this. Listen to him, from his archive.
