The time has come. The wheels have fallen off the wagon. To end the year I’ve spent as host of Thee Hourz O’ Power, here are some of my favorite tracks of all time.

Being the host of Hourz has allowed me to connect deeply with the community I care so much about. I believe in the power of the arts to bring people together. They allow us to find commonalities among ourselves, as otherwise unique and irreplaceable individuals. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to platform such a cause.

Thank you to my predecessor, DJ Brick (aka Nick, aka Garf). Thank you to DJ Suba (aka Aaron), the host of Pity Party. Thank you to DJ Maddog (aka Maggie), host of The Fuzz and incoming programming director. Thank you to Isabelle, my co-host last semester. Thank you to Dropped At Birth, Drop Rate, and The Sissy Boys, who all had live sessions during my time here. And thank you to Liv and Griffin of The Basement for allowing Hourz to take up so much space on their show. Thank you to Abi Mayhem of Mayhem Booking and the rest of the Mid-Michigan Hardcore Collective. As a believer in the butterfly effect, I feel that even if you just said hi to me at some point when I was at MSU, you have made a pretty great impact (haha get it) on my life, so thank you, too.

Straight edge, Lansing hardcore, and college radio, forever. This is DJ Wagon Train, signing off.
