My Exit: Julia Lee

Tonight's My Exit D.J., Julia Lee

Every Monday night our friends at WEXT do this thing called My Exit -- local listeners get to come into the station and program an hour of music. So we thought it'd be fun to find out a little bit about these people and why they picked the songs on their play list.

Here's tonight's person:

Who?
I'm Julia Lee.
I'm from Ohio, but I moved to Troy last year to attend graduate school at UAlbany.

How would you describe your musical taste?

I am definitely a mood-dependent listener. I rarely say I have favorites because I enjoy so many different types of music for so many different reasons. At the most basic level, I enjoy music that feels honest.

Three songs from Julia's show:

Collete by Langhorne Slim. Langhorne Slim truly enjoys making music and sharing it unabashedly. I had a chance to go to one of his shows and speak with him afterward. He has a kind soul.

We're all looking for Astronauts by The National.
I am in love with the lead singer's voice. It is unique and touching.

Autonomy by Heartless Bastards.
They were a local band from Ohio whose shows I used to go to all the time. Now, they're getting more national recognition and I couldn't be happier for them. They deserve it.

You can hear Julia's My Exit show tonight at 8 at 97.7 or at exit977.org.

Here's how to schedule your own My Exit show on WEXT.

Having a child is indeed a second shot or at least a reminder of the magic of childhood. I thought of this yesterday and my 4 year old and myself rode figure 8's and generally raced all around the now empty parking lots of Sage, Albany College of Pharmacy and OPWDD on our BMX bikes. So many childhood 'far away' journeys are actually so close.
