From now until Friday, May 21, we are officially throwing it back to the 2000s on 88Nine! Every day, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. we are going through two years of the past 20 years, starting with the year 2000 and working our way up to 2020.
You might as, “Why?” Well, for one it’s to have fun. The songs take you right back to that time and place and that kind of musical teleportation is part of what makes music magic. But we also want to use these songs to make a station that sounds like us. We are a diverse group of people at 88Nine and we want to make sure the music that we play represents the diversity of our staff and our city.
From each DJ on staff you are going to hear their:
Favorite album of the year
Most UNDERRATED album of the year
Their personal anthem of each year
Many of these songs will go into rotation at 88Nine and they will come to represent who we are as a station. As some added fun, we are also playing some chart topping songs from the time so you REALLY know what year you are in when you hear say, “Where Is the Love” by The Black Eyes Peas or “Overnight Celebrity” by Twista.
It’s gonna be fun! So join us all week! And we couldn’t do this without your support, so please consider making a donation or becoming a sustaining member, here.
