With the 20th Annual Modern Rock 500 Underway over on WOXY Vintage, I thought it would be fun to have a look back at some old 500 countdowns of interest. Today we take a peek at 1994, and while I would love to list the entire thing here, I will just snag a few of the more interesting laps from that year. For the Modern Rock statistician in all of us…
Lap #500 Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue
Lap #250 10,000 Maniacs - Trouble Me
Lap #100 Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science
Lap #97 Talk Talk - Talk Talk
Lap #10 New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
Lap #1 R.E.M. - Radio Free Europe
Band with the most songs in the 1994 Modern Rock 500 - R.E.M. (13)

We co-sponsor the Amplify New Music Series every month @ Schubas in Chicago. The lineup is always packed with the best up and coming artists around and this month is no exception. From Oxford, Mississippi, Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele will be headlining the show. Dent’s unique vocal style, part crooner, part falsetto, and 101 percent showman reflects the influences of some of his favorite singers (Prince, Serge Gainsbourg and Lee Hazelwood to name a few). His love of various song styles results in a unique combination of ukulele, drums, pedal steel, violin, horns and bass.
Opening up the show will be two bands from Chicago: Very Truly Yours and My Gold Mask.
It’s a 21+ event on Thursday night, May 28th, that will only set you back $10. It’s a great night of live music recommended by WOXY.com to all our faithful Chicago listeners!

We were still broadcasting on the FM dial out of Oxford when The Walkmen’s debut album Everybody Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone was released back in 2002 and their single “We’ve Been Had” quickly became a station favorite.
In the years that followed, they’ve racked up a healthy number of spins from the albums that followed. Last year, they garnered more airplay with us than ever before as their You & Me album hit #11 on the 97 Best of 2008 countdown.
We finally caught up with them for this excellent Lounge Act session while the guys were out on the road doing a series of dates with Kings Of Leon. Even though they showed up to find out they had 2 busted amps (which meant their organ would be spending the session out in the van), they treated us to five songs that originally appear on You & Me.
Track Listing:
Dónde está la Playa
Postcards From Tiny Islands

When Peter Walker helped found Dangerbird Records back in 2004, he imagined a label with a family feel to it. A label where the bands he signed could share stages, strategies and even musicians from time to time. Fast forward to 2009, and those dreams are coming true, and in a first hand way through his own band, Eulogies. While out on the road with another Dangerbird band, The Dears, Eulogies stopped into our Lounge for an excellent acoustic set of songs from their second full length album, Here Anonymous.
As you will hear from Peter in the interview, the songs began in a simple way, starting with nothing more than a bass guitar, an echoplex and a microphone. Hearing the tunes in this stripped-down fashion bring to mind how they may have been born.
Enjoy these songs from a new perspective during this session.
Track Listing:
Bad Connection
The Fight (I’ve Come To Like)
