At the start of each show, my hastily-written computer code picks a random date from the 60s, 70s or 80, and I have to fill 58 minutes with music and news from that date. The URY record library gets a bit patchy if we go back to the 60s, so wish me luck!
Just a little bit of 80's and some catchy tunes to pick you up in the day.
Join me for a selection of tunes spanning from the 60s to the present day!
You can expect to hear plenty of Indie and Alternative Rock, but also a bit of Electronic, Jazz and R&B/Soul depending on what I'm enjoying at the time :)
I recently hit 1010 songs on my liked songs. I'm going to clear it up a bit, so let's listen to some on the way.
The hosts of 'Building Bridges the Road to Rock and Roll' and 'The Nightcall' come together to play you the very best music the video game world has to offer; with plenty of additional room for discussion, TV and Anime soundtracks, memes and more.
A series of four specials exploring the relationship between sounds and words and other forms of art. Each week, we will be discussing the connections between different pieces of work with a series of special guests. We'll be featuring great and innovative music, writing and art written by our favourite established artists and york students.
The idea of fishtail comes from Ouroboros, which is the image of a fish or reptile biting its own tail. It signifies something that is constantly recreating itself, something that pre-existed and is so powerful that it must continue. Of course, it also comes from the notion of a fisherman's tale. In our programme, we're going to be 'biting our tales' and circulating from one art form to the next.
Another thing associated with the North - apart from the rain - is Northern Soul music, a scene that keeps on burning. An hour of pure soul, Motown, maybe a bit of Ska if we're feeling adventorous. An introduction to the scene beyond the odd Stevie Wonder track you've heard in the car, so put your pen down on this hazy Sunday and just enjoy. The revival is more alive than ever - Keep the Faith.
Back for one last hurrah (he's said that before) The Nic Munday Show is back again. Tune in for two hours of fun-filled features, great tunes and just a bit of a laugh. Featuring the old favourite, Film Review Time.
A look back at the week's events, both local and global with esteemed guests that were definitely not picked at random off the streets.
Raiding the URY vinyl archive, digging up scratchy old songs, keeping URY on air that little bit longer
A continuation of the A Classical Teatime special on music for Summer Nights. We now delve into the world of music created a bit more recently than Mahler and Strauss.
Join Isaac, David and Keoni through a whistle-stop tour of all music modern, summery and ... night-y?
Describe the weeks events using song title and lyrics
William King is rounding off three years of student radio with 24 hours of non-stop broadcasting. Putting a fresh spin on Sunday-night-staple 'A Classical Bedtime', William's hoping the weeknight edition of the show is a bit more upbeat!
Tune in as I try not to cry; it's my last show on URY.
Ever wondered what happens when you get 3 professional musicians travelling in a van for long periods of time to a gig with nothing else to do? Well this is a bit of an insight into that… Some of the things we have discussed in the past have included "How many grains of sugar do you get when you ask for "one sugar"?" or "What if you woke up, and you were a duck in a Foie Gras factory?" Or simply "What is reality?". Join us for two hours of deep discussions, or two hours of nonsense. You decide. ***PLEASE NOTE*** Some topics may be slightly contentious or sensitive, the views raised in this show are the views of the individuals, NOT URY, UoY or any other affiliated party. ***
Presented by: Will Pitchfork, Harry Garbutt & Chris Camm
Join James & Adam for an exploration of a different genre each week: listening to everything from Christmas Pop to EDM with plenty of chat in between
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy, lies a small, unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-million miles is an utterly insignificant blue-green planet whose inhabitants include a student radio station, and a Douglas Adams Society in the same place.
On the 42nd anniversary of the orginal broadcast of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dougsoc and URY collide in an infinitely improbable fusion of geekery and humour.
Jordan and Tom and Jordan are alive and kicking in their second year! With the looming Spectre of work placements, will the guys take this uni thing a bit more seriously?
Probably not
A breakfast show which is perhaps a bit more unusual - expect long stretches of classical music, or long instrumental pieces from the prog rock era. Perfect for starting the day to? Perhaps.
(Pronounced "directory Bandcamp") D:\Bandcamp>dir is a show all about the weird and wonderful world of self-releasing musicians and tiny bedroom labels found on Bandcamp. Join Night Call and 8-Bit and Beyond host Bernie, as he sticks his arm into the petri dish known as online music culture. Everything from vaporwave, to future funk, to trip hop, to doom jazz, to whatever you can think of really.
