First Solo album in Thirteen Years… Kind of
What does Mexico, Extra-Terrestrial sightings, and Aztec magic have in common? If you were going to say Conor Oberst then you get a gold star! Oberst spent the earlier portion of the year recording his first solo album in thirteen years [if you don’t count Bright Eyes as being a solo project…] in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México, and it’ll finally be in stores August 5th.
But what if I don’t want to wait until August 5th to hear the sweet schizophrenic sounds of Conor Oberst? Then you’re in luck! SCAD-Atlanta Radio has the album on hand and wants to preview it just for YOU.
Be sure to tune in TUESDAY NIGHT [July 29th] at 6pm for the Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band album preview. We’re even gonna give stuff away!

SCAD-Atlanta Radio loves you…and summer!
Congrats to everyone for finally making it through this past quarter, and school year. And high fives to those of you who graduated last weekend! Stoked!
Here at the station though, things are just getting started. Al and myself will be holding down the fort over the summer break, which means there’s some changes a comin’!
For those who don’t already know, we have a Myspace page now! Feel free to add us, put us in your top friends, and help get the word out about us.
Also, if any of you fellow SCAD-Atlanta students are finding yourself jobless and restless this summer, or just want to do something fun, then send us an e-mail, leave us a Myspace comment, send an Instant Message, leave us a voicemail, run around outside the station in bright colors waving your arms while singing Ice Ice Baby. Whatever suits you, really. We are looking for people interested in DJing, production, promotions, listening to new music, cleaning up after us, someone to buy us pizza and Mexican food, or someone just wanting to see how things work. We promise we don’t bite!
See you in the future!
