What's Up
DAAC TRAAX Episode 2 - February 2010
02/05/10

Jes Kramer burnin' up the airwaves

This is the second episode of DAAC TRAAX, an audio calendar of things coming up in the next month here at the DAAC. It broadcasts live on 88.1FM WYCE here in the Grand Rapids, MI area, on the internet through the magic of online streaming, and then exists in the end as a podcast right up there.

This one was waaaaaay better than the last one. While we were able to preserve much of our plucky charm (read: awkwardness), Episode 2 seems way more professional right off the bat thanks to a new theme song by the unbeatable Flying Without Wingz (Holy crap guys, way to BRING IT!). We also got way more creepy thanks to a snacktastic bumper by WYCE's Kyle Colter - our more than gracious host at the radio station.

And to make things even better, episode 2 features an incredible in-studio performance from our dear friend Jes Kramer. Check her out, y'all.

This episode covers the month of February 2010, and includes music from:
Karisa Wilson - Bossa Nova
White Pines - Name As Son
Strand Of Oaks - End In Flames
Graham Parsons & The Go 'Rounds - Migration
Jes Kramer - We Will Be Warm (in-studio performance)
Chaperone - Witches & Sailors
Lauren Elle - O Sleeper
Victor! Fix The Sun - Blind Man's Bluff
Leaving Songs - La Charrada
Xtra-Vomit - Double Zero
NYOIL - Be My Brother (Haiti Mix) (buy this track to help raise money for relief work in Haiti!)
Flying Without Wingz - Turn On Your TV
Casiotone For The Painfully Alone - White Jetta (Live at the DAAC 2009/07/09)
Extra Life - The Refrain
The Bangups - Sunburnt Love

Check out the calendar of upcoming events for more details about everything we mention in the podcast.

Special thanks to Kevin, Matt, and especially Kyle at WYCE for letting us do this thing. WYCE is the greatest little community radio station on the planet, and is a proud service of the Community Media Center. We love them.

Resources Shmesourches. What?
02/01/10

We made zine! That's it right up there.

It's all about the DAAC. What we are, what we believe in - and most importantly - how YOU can you get involved. That's right. You!

It's a single page, 8 panel zine, with a fold out poster on the inside that lays out the 10 main points the DAAC abides by. It is the most succinct declaration of what we are all about thus far.

You can pick up physical copies at the DAAC, and various local shops around town. You can print out your own from the .PDFs on the resources section.

Oh, we also made a resources section. Riding on the buzz from last week's volunteer fest / zine release /pizza party / rock show (thanks The Spirits, you are rad!), we stayed up super late and put it together as a permanent place to corral all of our extra stuff.

Right now it's the permanent home for the zine, for an incredible guidebook Jenn Schaub wrote for throwing your own DIY art show, and our logo (so you can stick it on a flyer when you organize your next event)

We are going to add more things as they come along. But that's it for now. Is there anything else you need? Let us know!
