It's You On The One's and Two's
The FUV Mixtape today was fantastic, and especially fun with several songs/artists/bands requested for the first time.
The FUV Mixtape playlist for Thursday, December 12, 2013
Inside Llewyn Davis
There’s been a lot of buzz about Inside Llewyn Davis, the new film from Joel and Ethan Coen, which is VERY loosed based on Dave Van Ronk’s memoir, The Mayor of MacDougall Street. Some of my folkie friends had very negative reactions to it, because they were good friends of Van Ronk’s. I knew him, too, though not as well, so I figured I should try to watch the movie as a Coen Brothers creation, not a biography of Van Ronk. Even though it’s gotten a lot of positive reviews, I had a lot of problems with it myself.
Question of the Day: "Best" Songs

J. Roddy Walston and the Business - FUV Live - 2013
With southern roots and a Baltimore home base, J. Roddy Walston and the Business have been described as “AC/DC fronted by Jerry Lee Lewis”. The latest album from the band is called Essential Tremors and it is a riotous affair. The band stopped by WFUV to perform a couple of the new songs and chat about the making of the new record.
San Fermin's Ellis Ludwig-Leone: Five Essential Albums
It has been a stellar year for Brooklyn-based composer Ellis Ludwig-Leone and his chamber pop collective, San Fermin. The band, bringing Ludwig-Leone's chamber pop songs to buoyant life, released its self-titled debut in September to very positive reviews and a rapidly-growing fanbase, both Stateside and abroad.
