We are SO technologically advanced. Discussion includes conversation enders, space spiders, (shamefully) Lindsay Lohan, and Twitter. As always, tons of shoegaze and fuzzy pop!

Sorry the sound quality isn't A+. We do our best.

We have an entry, y'all!

2009-02-10T20:39:00.004-05:00

So, as our loyalest listeners have figured out, we've scrapped our first contest idea (which would require you know, counting and other shit we're not capable of) we're doing a BJORK IMPRESSION CONTEST.

My mom said the prize should be a dead swan, but that is incredibly creepy. WTF, Mom? I mean, I get the reference...but where would we even get one of those? Logistics alone would be a nightmare.

Anyway...want to know something really great? My sister let me know that one day after we announced the contest, Kristin Wiig entered it on national TV! How cool is that?

She set the bar pretty high. Kristen, you understand that this is a radio contest, right? Professional hair, makeup, and wardrobe is kind of overachieving and probably would disqualify you if we had bothered to make any rules. Still, we are SO psyched you decided to participate.

Keep the entries coming, my babies!

Hello, lovelies! This is the blog for Motherfuzzers, a radio show and general state of warm fuzziness on WTBU, Boston University's student radio. We air Friday nights from 10pm - 12am EST and play lots of shoegaze, dream pop, and distortion-ridden music. Tune in!

A little bit about us:

We love bears.
We love arts and crafts.
We love coffee.
We love space.
Mercedes loves Tricia.
Tricia loves Putin.
Putin loves to listen to our show*, so you should too!

We'll be posting our show playlists up here, as well as music news and show-related miscellany. Thanks for reading, listening, and putting up with the constant use of the word "fuzz"!
