My Exit: Nancy McKiernan

n_mckiernan.jpgEvery 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?
Nancy McKiernan, owner of Charles Street Studio web & graphic design in Scotia.

How would you describe your musical taste?
Rock, jazz, blues, alt-country, old, new... depends on my mood but I especially love music with strong rhythms and bass lines. My playlist reflects that. If I had to do this playlist again I'd probably come up a completely different set every time.

5 Songs from Nancy's show:

Just Like Fire Would by the Saints
Incredible voice, great song - brings back a lot of good memories.

Catch and Release by Silversun Pickups
The bass line grabbed me first, and I love how the melody flows throughout like a stream.

15 Step by Radiohead
This song has it all - I never get tired of hearing it, with all its layers of sound.

Spanish Bombs by the Clash
Well, they ARE the only band that matters.

Follow Your Bliss by the B-52's
A great little instrumental hidden at the end of their Cosmic Thing cd. This song is grounded by the deep guitar, with the voices and organ floating above... such a good sound.

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

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

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.

If winter ever gets its act together and drops more snow on us, there will be sidewalks to shovel. And shortly after that, Albany will... (more)
