Good morning Cleveland!

I will be live-blogging today from the studio, keeping you updated on what's been played and what's going on behind the scenes here at WCSB. Feel free to email me at douglasshagan@gmail.com with your requests or just leave your comments/questions here on the site!

To start us off this morning, we had track 2 from All Tomorrow's Parties 1.0, which was mixed by Tortoise (sorry, I don't have the track titles in front of me!).

Next, we had the Avalanches (from Australia) with their debut release from 2001. Again, sorry, but no track title!

Third, we heard from Joseph Nothing, track 2 off of Dreamland Idle Orchestra.

And fourth, we heard from Stereolab, off of their BBC Radio 1 Sessions double disc.

Enjoy the show and look for more posts right here!

Douglass Hagan Welcomes You!

I hope some of you had a chance to tune in on Monday, March 20th for the first ever broadcast of Popsicle Industries on 89.3, WCSB Cleveland. If you didn't, don't fret, there will be many more where that came from!

First, a little bit about myself. I was born in 2003 in New York City as Christopher Robbin. I grew up on the ultra-hip Lower East Side, the product of a little tea house, a street hockey league, a volunteer position with a land conservation not-for-profit, and a vintage shop on Rivington whose name escapes me. I was known to where an assortment of fine suits while playing music at a bar called Lolita on Wednesday nights. My name changed a couple times, including my final incarnation: Mr. Good Day.

I moved to Cleveland in August of 2005 and started to grow my roots again in this fanstastic city of savvy and passionate underdogs. I found my place of residence in the 9th floor of Rh0des Tower, at the epicenter of the Corbusian campus of Cleveland State University.

You'll find me here and on your airwaves every Monday morning from 9 to 11 for the foreseable future. Tune it at 89.3 on your radio dial or at wcsb.org, where you can find high and low bandwith connections for your pc or laptop.

Enjoy the show and look forward to playlists and other such accoutrements on this site!
