Move over WHRB, Dunster House now has its own radio station.
Not officially, of course. But through a new website called Songza, Dunster residents can collaborate to create playlists that will constantly stream to anyone who has the link to the station. The music is an aggregate of all the musical tastes of the House, which include everything from Bob Dylan to Usher. Here's a selection:
"Range Life" by Pavement
"Dayjob" by Ssion
"Soon" by Delorean
"Rude Boy" by Rihanna
"Evacuate The Dancefloor" by Cascada
Renee G. Stern '13, who interned at Songza, sent an e-mail about the station over the Dunster open list a few days ago. She told us that she created the station to facilitate the sharing of musical tastes across the House.
“It would be really exciting if people in other Houses started stations and Songza spread through Harvard. The site is awesome for parties, because anyone can go online and add to or vote on the playlist. That way it attracts guests, cuts down on playlist building time, and no one can really complain about the music—it's a win-win situation,” said Stern, who is also a Crimson arts editor, in an e-mailed statement.
