End of Semester Roundup and Thanks

KDUP New Logo

Thanks for listening to KDUP this semester!

Over this semester, KDUP has changed its appearance with a new logo and a new motto, "Radio Is Not Dead."

KDUP has changed its online profile by getting a new Facebook Profile and starting a Tumblr, your home for the monthly Mixtapes and for musical recommendations to help broaden your musical knowledge and provide accompaniment for your daily lives.

Our News Department has moved toward podcasting: Check out their latest entry about Grad School!

December saw the 7° Below Show bring over 250 people to the Mehling Ballroom to dance and experience the music of Wizard, Sam Wegman and Band, and A La Mode. Thanks to Pilots Audio and Lighting for providing the lights and sound, Mehling Hall for letting us use the ballroom, and everyone who helped make the event a success, including you!

Check out some of the photos from the event!

Next Semester, KDUP should be streaming via a more reliable platform and plan to have more promotional materials

New / Old Johnny Cash

Music Review: New Cash bootleg shows the man, his times

By TED ANTHONY • The Associated Press • March 10, 2011

Johnny Cash, "From Memphis to Hollywood: Bootleg Vol. 2," (Columbia/Legacy)

Who is that man with the deep, twangy voice pitching the products of Home Equipment Co.? He beseeches you: Buy aluminum screens, wire fences, awnings, fiberglass insulation. "You know, folks," he says, "even without air conditioning you can make your home several degrees cooler this summer and for the summers to come with Home Equipment Co.'s Cool-Glo Awnings."

So sayeth Johnny Cash. And not just any Johnny Cash — the 23-year-old Cash of May 21, 1955, coming to you from the mists of country-music history on KWEM-AM 990, back when his backing band, the Tennessee Three, was the Tennessee Two.
