Hey guys, another station event coming up soon is going to be held on Wednesday. Carson, the afternoon DJ at Mix 107.3 (your source for the best hits of the 80’s, 90’s, and today!), will be giving a lecture at the station on writing for radio, as well as offer advice on how to start a career in the radio industry. It should be really interesting; it will start at 8 pm, and last approximately one hour.

WMUC Radio and Universal Music Group will be hosting a Brazilian Girls listening party on Tuesday, giving you a sneak peek at their most recent record, Talk To La Bomb. Make sure you bring your dancin’ shoes to the station at 7 pm. There will be prizes and other sweet stuff from Universal Music Group given away.

Hey guys, breaking news from WMUC – Art Alexakis, lead singer of Everclear, and up-and-coming modern rock group Jonny Lives! will be performing on-air acoustic sets and giving interviews on WMUC tomorrow morning and afternoon. Jonny Lives! will be performing around 11 AM, followed by an interview; Alexakis will be performing and interviewed closer to 12:30 PM. Everclear and Jonny Lives! will be playing Friday night at the Santa Fe Cafe in College Park that night.

Or, of course, you could attend WMUC Fest, happening that evening as well. Either way, College Park will be ready to party.

Thanks to Andrew Nichols for the flyer.
