The latest Yeah Yeah Yeahs album Show Your Bones is magnificent. As much as I loved the first EP and subsequent full-length release, I must say I’m pleasantly surprised that album no. 2 is just as addicting, if not more so. I had a hard time deciding which song to post but I chose “Honeybear” because every time it comes on, I compulsively move with the beat and as soon as it ends, immediately play it a second time.

“Honeybear”
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Show Your Bones

(( revolving radio )) is celebrating its 5 year anniversary! In January 2001, I started this station to take my mind off a bad break-up. My first official playlist was a special Black Valentine’s Day Broadcast featuring nothing but songs about love and hate.

I’ve kept the tradition going each year except for last year when I was overwhelmed by grad school and in the midst of yet another dying relationship and so this, February 14th, marks my 5 year anniversary and 5th annual Black Valentine’s Day Broadcast. I’ve selected 333 of my favorite songs about love and hate and will leave them on shuffle for the next week.

Enjoy!
