The Wednesday Show
Midweek on BTR, tune in to DJRePete for more from the new albums by Shugo Tokumaru and Night Beds, alternative by Grizzly Bear and the Helio Sequence, and throwbacks by Surfer Blood and Art Vs. Science. Also, hit up ‘numerically consecutive tracks’ by The Luyas and Alizée, the latter of which joins Fránçois & The Atlas Mountains to also add a Franco flavor to the program. Plus, for good measure, a flashback to Junior High by 357 Lover. Phew! That’s all packed into your Wednesday with DJRePete on BTR!
