The fifth show of the day is selections from staff and students, including Mass Comm professor Mike Peters, and Mass Comm students David Frith and Adrian Kartalozi.
“This hour is dedicated to FTC students and faculty who didn’t want to be on air — or couldn’t —but wanted to participate in Vinylthon. It’s selections from the dweebiest people we know at the FTC Sound Stream,” said station manager Jodi Vale.

Mass Comm student Brian Klukosky just finished his set that included songs from The Beach Boys and Steely Dan. “I just wanted to come and play, like, as much of my collections as I can. I have been collecting for a while, and I have a huge collection…And we had a lot of really cool stuff. You know, I went, I had some Steely Dan, which I really love.”
Next up is fellow Mass Comm student Eric Guli, who’s most excited to play the band Lobsterfight. “They’re a small emo band from Pueblo, Colorado. I found them on Bandcamp my freshman year of college at Fredonia. I first fell in love with their second album, Sun Soaking. They’re incredible!!! Everyone give them a listen!”

I was busy this past hour with my own set for Vinylthon, “Unknown, Unpopular and Underground,” showing off some of my favorite music that you might not have heard of, including selections from one of my favorite bands, Boys Go To Jupiter.

Vinylthon has kicked off with its first block on the FTC Sound Stream, hosted by station manager Andre Doughty. “For the first hour at least, I will be on air playing a variety of selections, letting people know what’s in store throughout the rest of the day. And I’m talking about some students to see what is coming down the line, and the schedule for them, they’re specific shows and what they’re planning to play on them.”
