New Blaqk Audio song: Ill Lit Ships

Live 105, a radio station in the Bay Area in California, has reportedly been playing a new Blaqk Audio song called "Ill Lit Ships." According to this page on the station's Web site, the song is playing in the 9pm time slot on Sundays. Be sure to let us know if you hear this song on Live 105.

Thanks to Kelly for pointing this out! This story was originally posted on BrightBlackHeaven.com. Start requesting the song by texting "Blaqk Audio-Ill Lit Ships" to 36105 or call 415-478-LIVE!

Update: Kelly has now given us this description of the song: "Some of the lyrics that were refrained enough for me to catch were 'It’s your smile that hurts me' and 'You let them by [buy???] you.' It sounded like good old Davey to me. Musically, I noticed that there was a lot of acoustic piano, or at least what sounded like acoustic piano. The eletronic beats were there as well, sort of slow-paced. I wish I could remember more. I guess we’ll hear it more in the future, though!"

Update 2: We have contacted Live105 and asked for information about the song. They replied saying: "Its brand new music from their forthcoming second album! due out this late summer most likely. Thanks for listening Mike!"

Update 3: Our reader Drew has e-mailed the DJ (Aaron) who initially played the song and he says that Ill Lit Ships will be played on Sunday, February 14 during Live 105's "Soundcheck" segment, which airs from 7-10pm PST. To listen live, visit Live105.com.

But it says it was only played on 1/31 (Sunday) in the 9 PM slot.
Are they playing it every Sunday at around 9PM?
And in which time zone? Eastern?

Drew said...

Kelly said she's going to try and give us some of the lyrics & describe the sound (I'll update you)

side note: I think it's funny that if you do a google search for blaqk audio ill lit ships the first result is afinewshq. :)
anyway, it sounds interesting. Wonder if anyone's ripped it off the radio yet. :P

Kera, that's because Google is greedy and puts blogger (which it owns) over wordpress results :P

K I just called that number. The girl said she hadn't heard it, and wasn't sure if she had access to it. She said she would ask someone about it, and if they had it, she would play it.

WOO. Just sent in my request. I can't wait to hear it!!

Drew said...

I emailed the DJ that played it so I'll see what he says about it.

Drew said...

Update 3:
I emailed Aaron (the DJ who initially played it) and he told me he will definitely play it again next Sunday on their “soundcheck” segment. A bit upsetting for those impatient like me, but we will get to hear a new Blaqk Audio song soon either way!

Anyone else notice that Cold Hands from AFI was on that list as well?

Drew said...

^^
yeah, and I really hope that doesn't hint it as a single or anything

Angelsineveryone(Brandon) said...

Dammit! We need this before Sunday :/ Too long.

boundbyinsanity said...

I love Cold Hands. One of my favorites.

Nicholas James said...

AFI has a history with this radio station, and with this segment specifically, going back to October of 2000, possibly longer. It's reasonable to think that they would get content first.

Check out the last paragraph here:
