Bellarmine Radio knows Lacrosse!


Music is not our only passion at Bellarmine Radio, though you'd be forgiven for thinking so. We also have a fair number of sports enthusiasts on staff. Our first live show was Donnie Kornick and Justin Stafford's Bellarmine Radio Sports Talk (or "Bust" for short), which still airs Monday nights at 8:00 pm. For some time now, the station has been carrying as many basketball games as we can. We've also done a few baseball events (we hope to do more). The station is always seeking to add announcers that can provide more coverage for Bellarmine athletics.

But recently, we finally have been able to cover some lacrosse games. We've wanted to do so for a while, but have been unable. Why? Lack of knowledgeable staff. But now, we have a number of staff members with lacrosse knowledge and, in some cases, playing experience. Bellarmine Radio's own Reed Peterson has been leading the way in covering lacrosse. After the first game we covered a few weeks ago, we got positive responses from listeners across the U.S. and Canada. We're glad for the response and hope to continue the coverage.

Muzak is bankrupt. Elevator music in jeopardy.



While you were listening to Lily Allen/Vivian Girls/Air France/the amazing Dark Was the Night compilation (all newly added to Bellarmine Radio!), the company that brings you elevator music filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Where do we go for all of our favorite music-related bankruptcy news? The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones' "Bankruptcy Beat," of course. No, we're not kidding. As Prince once suggested, these may be signs of the times.

Hexacordon Bleu: The Beginning of the End of the Beginning

so, i just finished writing a paper for my music history class about the hexachord, and it's relevance to modern music and music education. suffice to say, i was overwhelmed with joy.

but it got me thinking; i listen to a LOT of different music. so i start feeling like maybe the Zakk Wylde Power Sermon may need to start reflecting that.

i know that changing the format would cause nothing but drama for the directors, but the thought is still swimming around in the back of my mind

so, let me know what ya'll think. i would just be changing one of the nights (probably thursdays) to a mix of eclectic jams that i think are pretty good (which means they ARE!).

of course, maybe i'm just rambling.

Hey all,
As you may have noticed we didn't have a show last week. Sad :(

But we'll be back this week!! Same time, same place. Wednesday at 8pm.

Hope everyone is excited to go back to class.......eh.
