DJs of The Week

Margaret Czachorowski and Sarah Codraro are seniors who actively seek out quality music to share with their listeners; therefore they stand out as DJs of the Week.
    Their show, “Triumph Noise,” airs Saturdays 2 to 4 p.m. The show’s name is a reference to the signal sound iTunes makes after a new CD has been uploaded.
“The title of our show came from the ridiculous amount of music we get from the radio station,” said Codraro. “It’s great.”
    The duo is new to WRBC this year and applied for their show, recognizing it as their last opportunity to become involved with the station. The two are political science majors and enjoy devoting some time to their shared interest.
“We had always talked about getting a show,” said Czachorowski.
“We love the same music and are always exchanging,” agreed Codraro.
    Their shared musical tastes makes for a smoothly run show.
“We both have really broad musical tastes and the wide range makes it easy to agree on what to play,” said Codraro. The two mentioned Andrew Bird, Cat Power, The Decemberists, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Weepies and Matt and Kim as several shared favorites.
    The girls play fair, taking turns to pick every other song and only interrupting the music to announce the artists and track titles.
“Unless it’s a show like NPR, that’s specifically talk radio I really don’t like listening to people talk. I’d rather just hear the music,” explained Codraro.
    Codraro and Czachorowski have a history of actively seeking out music to experience, having made the trek last year to Bonnaroo, a multi-stage festival held on a farm in Manchester, Tenn. The two made the epic venture, driving over 20 hours in a Sedan filled to capacity. They mused about the excitement of the festival and the size of the masses which come to camp and rage for four straight days.
“We saw the Avett Brothers for the first time,” said Codraro, reflecting on standout performances, “but Kanye sucked.”
“He did suck,” agreed Czachorowski, “but one of the bands I discovered there was the Everybody Fields. I like them a lot.”
    The two spoke briefly of making a concerted effort to get to Boston for shows whenever possible. Codraro mentioned having seen Matt and Kim open for Cut Copy recently at the House of Blues in Boston.
“Matt and Kim had a really long set ,and they were really upbeat. It was a very small venue and they were just pumped to be there. [Kim’s] dad was there, it was the first time he had ever seen her play and he was so psyched. We got to meet them afterwards too!” she added.
    While the two are new to WRBC this year, they are obviously not novices to the world of music. They bring their experience to their time on air and shared some expert recommendations. 
“I’d definitely recommend Pierre De Reeder and the Avett Brothers,” said Codraro.
“I’ve been going through my iTunes library recently,” considered Czachorowski, “so I’m going to recommend Frontier Ruckus. Because I’m on ‘F’.”
Be sure to tune in on Saturdays, as the duo plans to keep spinning tunes through short term.
