WCBN just presented a free concert by Eugene Chadbourne at Encore Records here in Ann Arbor. That.... was a concert. It was acoustic, so he didn't bring his electric rake, but it was as unpredictably eclectic as he's ever been. He pulls out so many covers of songs I thought I never needed to hear again, but he just pulls them apart and makes them his own. Especially when he changes the lyrics so that they're making fun of Donald Trump or whoever. Amazing set.

Hey all, thanks for all the responses to my email a few days ago. Looks like everything seems to be going well with this new email system, I didn't get one annoyed "stop bothering me" email, so that's a great thing. Having said that, if you still don't want to receive these emails every week, just tell me (nicely!) and I'll make sure you're removed. Likewise, if you need me to switch contacts or email addresses, I'll take care of that too.

We're a little backlogged as far as processing recent new CDs, there's a few packages that we haven't gotten to yet and a few things that still need to be reviewed or come back from music review, so it might take a few weeks for things to show up on the charts, but we're getting to it. I'll try to get back to everyone about tracking on a more regular basis, I promise! 

No SXSW for me, but this week is the Ann Arbor Film Festival, which is always a big deal around these parts, especially since some of our DJs are heavily involved in the festival. So that might also delay things a bit on my end...

Anyway thanks again, will talk soon,

-paul

New WCBN weekly chart email list + wcbn fm chart march 7, 2016

Hey, this is Paul Simpson, one of the music directors (along with Don Lyons) of WCBN FM Ann Arbor, Michigan. I haven't sent out charts the past few weeks because our station's chart email group expired and deactivated. So we had to start a new one. I went through the contacts list and tried to weed out old/outdated/inaccurate/irrelevant names/emails and replace them with current/up-to-date contacts as necessary.

If you aren't interested in receiving these emails, please tell me and I'll get your email removed from the list.

If I need to replace or update your contact information, or switch your email with a different email account or contact for a different person, or anything else, please let me know and I'll make sure it gets updated.

If you DO want to receive these weekly emails, let me know too! It's good to know who's out there!

I'll try to get back on the ball as far as email tracking, I've just been too busy to answer every email, but I can't really do phone tracking because I work during the day, so I need to make sure I keep in touch via email.

Anyway, I'll leave you with last week's chart. 

Thanks!
