Tyler Clark presents: Local Mythologies writesCHIRP Radio Best of 2017: Tyler Clark

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2017. Our next list is from DJ Tyler Clark. (Whoops! If you're reading this, it's at least a year after its intended publication; I was pretty delinquent on my year-end list duties for 2017, but decided to use the retroactive magic of the internet to weigh in now (December 2018) with my belated, but no less crucial, picks. Hope you dig 'em.) |
Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesA Conversation With the Stars of “Low Strung”
Low Strung is a new Web comedy series based in Chicago about an audacious pair of friends, Victoria Lee and Shervin Bain, as they navigate their way through adulthood in the Big City, with hilarious results. The show was recently nominated in four categories at the 2017 Brooklyn Web Fest, with Lee winnning in the category Best Actress. A classically trained cellist who performs with the Chicago Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra and recorded with several other Chicago artists like Chance the Rapper, Lee and her co-star Bain (actor, Second City student, world traveller, and staple of Chicago's vibrant LGBTQ community) also write the scripts for the show.

CHIRP Radio volunteer Clarence Ewing was able to ask Lee, Bain, and music supervisor and Chicago musician Lili K. a few questions about themselves and the series:
The Audible Snail writesCHIRP Radio Best of 2017: Sondra the Audible Snail

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2017. Our next list is from DJ and Campaign Manager Sondra: The Audible Snail. A combination of upbeat dashed with a strong sense of skepticism. At times flippant (most times flippant). A little feminist, a little angry, a lot of love dancing with defiance. Some sweetness. That probably best fits my selections. 2017 was a hard year, for many people, but the music is getting louder, and so are our voices. |
Nicole Oppenheim: Ear Candy writesCHIRP Radio Best of 2017: Nicole Oppenheim

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2017. Our next list is from DJ (Ear Candy, Friday mornings 9-12) Nicole Oppenheim. Before I begin, can we all just agree that Kendrick Lamar made the best record of 2017? Yes? Good. What follows is a top ten list of all non-Kendrick records of the year. While all albums on this list are great, DAMN. was a masterpiece. |

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2017. Our next list is from DJ and Assistant Music Director Doug Mosurock. This list covers new albums by current groups. Reissues and singles will be listed some other place. These are some of the records I spent time with and enjoyed in 2017. Hopefully you'll dig into some of these and get on my level. Time to break ruts and avoid easy choices. |
