WTMD listeners take over the airwaves with three-to-five song sets on Thursday.

7 a.m. Jill Bucolo

This is actually the first five songs of the mix tape my boyfriend at the time--who is now my husband--used to listen to on the way to All Good when it was at Wilmers Park

* "Carnival," by The Band
* "Hurricane," by Bob Dylan
* "Road to Nowhere," by Talking Heads
* "Dear Mr. Fantasy," by Blind Faith
* "One More Saturday Night," by The Grateful Dead


9 a.m. Jean Tansey

Girls and summer, celebrating the first days of summer!

* "Girls In Their Summer Clothes," by Bruce Springsteen
* "Vacation," by The GoGos
* "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," by Cindy Lauper


11 a.m. Beth Lacey Gill

Five songs I didn't know before Virgin Fest 2007. I still listen to them constantly!

* "Narc," by Interpol
* "Fidelity," by Regina Spektor
* "I Turn My Camera On," by Spoon
* "Young Folks," by Peter, Bjorn & John
* "Your Hand in Mine," by Explosions in the Sky


1 p.m. Sarah Morgan

Some of my favorite songs for summer.

* "Sausalito," by Conor Oberst
* "Fat Man in the Bathtub," by Little Feat
* "Salvation," by The Avett Brothers
* "The Underdog," by Spoon
* "Wagon Wheel," by Old Crow Medicine Show


5 p.m. Miranda Sinicrope

I chose these songs because I feel that they represent the diverse sounds of what is coming out of the indie genre. It's exciting for these artists who, for the most part have been around and touring for years, to be succeeding while bands such as Passion Pit and the Harlem Shakes are creating a new exciting sound.

* "The Reeling," by Passion Pit
* "High Lonesome," by The Gaslight Anthem
* "Two Weeks," by Grizzly Bear
* "1901," by Phoenix
* "Sunlight," by Harlem Shakes


7 p.m. Tom Geary

These five songs were my favorite performances of the past two Virgin Festivals in Baltimore. It's moments like these that remind me of how much of a blast I had in '07 and '08 at Pimlico and get me excited for this year's festival!

* "Honeybear," by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
* "Your Touch," by The Black Keys
* "Ain't No Easy Way," by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
* "Fortunate Son," by Cat Power
* "Pioneer to the Falls," by Interpol

6 a.m. James Munsey

Maryland songs from three of my favorite brothers' bands.

* "Streets of Baltimore," by Flying Burrito Brothers
* "Pretty Girl from Annapolis," by Avett Brothers
* "Penn Station," by Felice Brothers


8 a.m. Rennie Twigg

It's all about the mouth (talking, laughing, smiling).

* "You Haven't Told Me Anything," by Keane
* "Don't Make Me Laugh," by Gomez
* "Talking Bird," by Death Cab for Cutie
* "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face," by Coldplay


10 a.m. Joseph Stockman

I am an avid gamer and what better way to game than rocking out on Rock Band 2? I download tons of songs, but here are some of my favorite Rock Band DLC (downloadable content) songs available to download to your Playstation 3.

And if it's not too much to ask I would like Tyler to play my mixtape, since he knows me as "Joe from Essex."

* "Love Spreads," by Stone Roses
* "C'mon, C'mon," by The Von Bondies
* "Geraldine," by Glas Vegas
* "Flathead," by The Fratellis
* "Spaceman," by The Killers


12 p.m. Natalie Bulawka

I think it represents a good mix of artists with strong songs that weren't necessarily hit radio singles.

* "The Party's Crashing Us," by of Montreal
* "Eriatarka," by The Mars Volta
* "Episodes," by The Roots
* "Zero," by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
* "International Dateline," by Ladytron


4 p.m. Larry Kinsler

I've seen each of these artists at Bonnaroo and feel they represent the "flavor and atmosphere" that is Bonnaroo. There truly is something for everyone at Bonnaroo, and I intend to revisit as often as possible.

* "Illegal Smile," by John Prine
* "Zebra," by John Butler Trio
* "Panama Red," by Peter Rowan
* "Let Me Be," by Xavier Rudd
* "Soulshine," by Gov't Mule


6 p.m. Drew Hall

The last four songs my iPod played on random.

* "Black," by Pearl Jam
* "My Girls," by Animal Collective
* "Werewolf," by Coco Rosie
* "Hurt," by Johnny Cash

Celebration - Sweet Gloom Baltimore Style

Dark, apocalyptic and cryptic, CELEBRATION paints music that might make Bauhaus, PJ Harvey and TV On The Radio fans, well, celebrate! In fact, David Sitek, of TV on The Radio produced one their earlier albums and assisted them in hooking up with the infamous 4AD records.

The husband and wife team of vocalist/percussionist Katrina Ford and multi-instrumentalist Sean Antanaitis front the band that....get this....is from right here in Baltimore! They'll be back in the area to play a show at DC's Rock and Roll Hotel Oct. 24th.

Their new album THE MODERN TRIBE add in a little gospel, jazz and more melody to their wild instrumentation. TVOTR and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs lend guest support. Check out the carnival organ swirl on this tune, EVERGREEN.
