Listen to CFCF's radio show on Viva Radio. CFCF's originals, remixes, and radio show are all worth blogging about.
CFCF says about his show:
Basically, I'll play anything I've been enjoying over the past several years, from soft rock to italo to rap, hardcore punk, soul, noise, dance, electro...all that jazz (but no jazz)
CFCF's Show is Friday 3pm-4pm Eastern Standard Time. However, you can listen to archived shows whenever you want.
Viva Radio might be a good option for people at work, or people who are trying to find a one day per week Hype Machine substitute. The Viva-Radio interface is actually pretty functional, and probably a model for 'the future of radio.'

Viva Radio is the radio station that American Apparel made up so that they would have something kewl, fun, and unique to play while u r shopping at their store. Chaz Bundick of Toro Y Moi played on their show and he was interviewed. In the above video, u hear his hit single "Still Sound" playing with his band of altbros.
Here is the interview. He also plays the songs "How I Know", "Go With You" and "Before I'm Done."
Me + You Pt. 95: Toro Y Moi by Viva Radio
Did yall learn a lot of interesting things from this interview?
Do u think Chaz looks keut?
Did he 'nail it'?
Will 'Causers of Pine' be the album of the year?
Was the interviewing bro hella annoying?
Will Viva Radio 'save' Am Appy?
Is Toro Y Moi 'still chillwave'?
Is chillwave dead?
Toro Y Moi is a chillwave bro who hit the 2k10 album "Causers of This."
Just days after being 'endorsed' by mainstream star Solange Knowles [link], HIPSTER RUNOFF has taken a big hit from lofi legend Ariel Pink. In an audio interview with Viva Radio, the official radio station of American Apparel retail stores, Ariel Pink is asked about his leaked album, Before Today, which was branded as one of the most important leaks/album releases of 2k10 by the internet/blogosphere. He claims that HIPSTER RUNOFF / the comments section is 'the source' of the leak, possibly.
Is HRO bad for indie artists?
21:30 mark: Ariel Pink says that for more information about his leak, u can visit the HIPSTER RUNOFF comment section for his album leak.
40:56 mark: Ariel Pink and a member of the band make a reference to the Tito Jackson Sex Dungeon post, made by the Alt Report [link]
He goes on to say that leaks are 'chill' just as long as you buy the album. Does he sound like he h8s HRO, or is he chill with it, since both brands are 'mad authentic'/lo-wave?
Feel sad that Ariel h8s Hipster Runoff. I don't think that his album was leaked on/by my website. Not sure if my 'coverage' drove up demand for the leak [link]. Thought I was just being the chill bro of blogs, letting people 'know whats up'/filtering out what is relevant. Worried that the HRO brand is 'going mainstream' and authentic lo-fi artists are turning on the site. Worried that I am the 'next niche blog' to lose my voice/credibility/brand/readership as indie markets are engulfed by the mainstream.
As an HRO commenter, r u 'pissed' that he accused u of being a leak bro, or are you just happy that Ariel Pink chills in the comments section of HRO?
Do album leaks hurt album sales, or expose artists to consumers who were never gonna buy the album anyways?
Is there any way we could track the number of leaks to build a new metric of 'truly buzzworthy albums with early adopter/die hard music fans'?
Is "Before Today" the frontrunner for album of the year?
Will "Before Today" be better than Panda Bear's "TOMBOY"?
Is the HIPSTER RUNOFF weblog bad for indie bands, or is it 'a valuable consumer force' 2 have on ur side? [via high pitchfork ratings in 2k6]
Ariel Pink is a 'lofi genius/wizard/mastermind' who has transitioned his brand to 'relevant indie buzzband status' in 2k10.
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti played a live song at Viva Radio, and it was sort of 'boring' but also might have been 'interesting' in a silly way. I think the bottom line is that this video isn't really that good / bloggable, but since there is 'a ton of Ariel Pink hype' in 2k10.5, this is blog content that 'has to make the rounds' since we all have 2 pretend that we haven't heard the leak yet, and go thru the whole 'formality' of pretending like we are building up towards the official release of Before Today.
Do u think this version of 'Round and Round' is more authentic than the produced mp3 version?
wtf is 'lofi'?
I think this is supposed to be a radio interview, but they sort of just 'dilly dally' on the keyboards + Ariel Pink does a boombox, then the song ends, and Ariel Pink gets made at the interviewer when he has to tell them that he isn't a solo artist any more, he is part of a full band.
Is Ariel Pink's "Before Today" going to earn a 9.5 or above from Pitchfork?
Will it be a commercial success?
Is Ariel Pink going to place higher than the recent LCD Soundsystem album?
Is Ariel Pink guaranteed to top Crystal Castles?
Are all of the members of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti 'perma-fried'?
Is Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti the band that MGMT wants to be?
What genre does Ariel Pink belong in?
Ariel Pink is a 'lofi genius/wizard/mastermind' who has transitioned his brand to 'relevant indie buzzband status' in 2k10.
Many post-indie and ternative music fans are wondering how chillwave music will be performed in the live context. This session of Viva Radio features Toro Y Moi performing the hit song "Talamak." It seems like a chill bro, chilling on a keyboard and another bro with a drum pad.
It seems like this minimal/synthetic setup is the aspect of chillwave that infuriates rock n roll critics who want music to be 'all about guitars and kewl stuff.' Chillwave is something 'for the kids' while older rock critics want to see the Who performing at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Is Toro Y Moi the #1 chillwave musician?
Which chillwave musician has the best possibility of 'crossing over'?
Which chillwave musician will make the most money in 2k10?
Is Toro Y Moi a solid live performer?
What do u expect from a live performance?
