Happy Earth Day everyone! Watch below for live playlist updates as they happen!

I’m back in town. I was gone last week for the big broadcast technology show in Las Vegas. Had a good time, but I’m glad to be back. Of course, I’m a bit under the weather tonight. Lost my voice this weekend, so I’m pretty raspy tonight. I’m just forging ahead and hoping our station’s mic processor just makes me sound grizzled and cultured.

Indie Music in South Korea: Number One Korean

Number One Korean

It’s already been four years since I arrived in Seoul for my study abroad program (am I that old already?)  I was excited and ready to wander the city.  It’s a good thing I did, because that’s how I discovered Hongdae.  Hongdae is a very small neighborhood surrounding the artsy Hongik University; the site of Korea’s first punk band Crying Nut and where Korean indie music has lived for the past twenty-some years.  The whole area surrounding Hongdae is in fact a hotspot for young people, as the nearby Yonsei University, Sogang University, and Ehwa Women’s University bring in more students and their college-aged friends.

Afterglow 4/15/2012

Another night, another great episode of the Afterglow. This show had to run without me on account of me leaving town for the big broadcaster show in Vegas. This was a huge sacrifice on my part as I’m sure you can all agree. It’s a rough job, but somebody’s gotta do it. Around here at the Impact, we call that taking one for the team. Going to Las Vegas for the team.

Playlist after the jump.
