GREETINGS - 88Nine Radio Milwaukee

GREETINGS
Thank you for being an important part of the 88Nine family of supporters!
2015 marked our 8th anniversary on the air; two full years in our new home
in Walker’s Point; the launch of our Cultural Commons initiative; substantial
expansion of our digital presence; and Jordan Lee’s promotion to Program
Director.
Our home at 220 E. Pittsburgh Ave. has become the warm, welcoming
gathering place that we envisioned back in 2012 when we launched the
Sound Foundation capital campaign. Continually alive with music and
activity, 7,900 people have been through the doors this past year for
events held by 88Nine, our neighbors in Walker’s Point, our Cultural
Commons partners, and other nonprofit organizations.
To say that we’ve come a long way in eight years is an understatement,
and we have you to thank for 88Nine’s incredible success. With more than
4,000 supporters, this organization is truly powered by the community.
As you connect with 88Nine on your radio, online, out in the community,
or at our studios, please take pride in your involvement this year. Your
financial support is more than a contribution to a single organization. It is
a gift you’ve given to the entire community through 88Nine --- a gift that
helps everybody discover new music and discover Milwaukee.
With gratitude,
Mary Louise Mussoline

MISSION
Through music and stories created for a culturally open-minded community
88Nine Radio Milwaukee is a catalyst for creating a better, more inclusive
and engaged Milwaukee. We reach a new generation of radio listeners
with an entertaining and adventurous selection of music and public affairs
programming. We champion Milwaukee—our music, arts and culture,
neighborhoods and community organizations; celebrate diversity, and
encourage community engagement—while promoting a positive global
identity for Milwaukee.
“I stream Radio Milwaukee on my computer from the time I walk into
work until the time I leave. I listen to 88Nine at home and in my car.
The staff and DJs entertain me, commercial free, and turn me on to
a plethora of music. The Community Stories are top notch, as are the
Studio Milwaukee sessions both for Members and the community at
large. And seeing the station’s team active throughout the community
and lending support and sponsorship to other important local issues is
great. Milwaukee would not have all of this without listener support!”
- Jeff J., 88Nine Member since 2011 -

WILD BELLE
STUDIO MILWAUKEE SESSION
TOP ALBUMS OF 2015
10. Best Coast – California Nights
Best Coast changed with this album. When 2008’s Crazy For You came out,
lead singer Beth Cosentino was innocent and sweet. On stage she talked
about how much she loves cats, California, and boys. She was bright with
excitement for the world. In California Nights she was still in love with the
Golden State, but now she is just “Feeling OK” and she is “Fine Without
You.” It’s not that she is sad, she is just growing up, and that’s human. This
album reminded us that it’s OK to feel OK.
9. Jamie xx – In Colour
Jamie xx is part of the band The xx. Their first two album covers were stark
black and white. This solo album is In Colour. As a solo artist Jamie xx did
things in this album that he just couldn’t do with The xx. Like teaming up
with abstract rapper Young Thug and making the song “Good Times” and
making us dance all through the summer. This album was as bright and
colourful as its name.
8. Hot Chip – Why Make Sense?
So, every Monday here we have a music meeting where each DJ brings in
two songs, we listen to everyone’s songs, and then we vote on what songs
we are going to play. Every time someone brought a Hot Chip song to a
meeting smiles came across everyone’s faces and dancing broke out. We
just didn’t want to stop playing this album. Why not? Why make sense?
7. The Decemberists – What A Terrible World, What A
Beautiful World
This was the first album that we fell in love with this year. It came out
on January 20th. Usually record labels don’t release anything good in
December because then it might miss all the critic’s year end lists. So
in January this was a breath of fresh air. From the first song, “A Singer
Addresses His Audience” we knew that the Decemberists were still writing
with wit and charisma. Each song on this album is a layer deeper into the
onion and we wanted to peel.
6. Tame Impala – Currents
This was the album that musicians themselves were listening to the most
this year. On our segment 5 Songs We Can’t Stop Listening To we ask
artists to tell us about one song that they can’t stop listening to, and the
clear favorite from artists across the board this year was Tame Impala’s
Currents. Everyone wanted to talk about it. And we did too.
5. Leon Bridges – Coming Home
Leon Bridges was the breakout artist of the year here at 88Nine. Before
this year he didn’t have any recorded music, and when we picked up
Coming Home it was the only song he had ever recorded. He turned out to
be a gift. Every song he released after that we fell in love with and before
the album was even out in June we were playing several songs from it. His
music is everything that music was, turned it into everything that music
should be.
4. Courtney Barnett – Sometimes I Sit and Think and
Sometimes I Just Sit
We found out about Courtney Barnett though an asthma attack. Her
story style lyrics on the song “Avant Gardener” solidified her as a master
songwriter and when Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometime I Just Sit
came out, we wanted to pull up next to the fire and hear her tell all of her
campfire stories. Her music lets you into her life, so we wanted to let her in
ours.
3. Alabama Shakes – Sound and Color
Brittney Howard is a force. She is the front woman for the Alabama Shakes
and she will rock you to your bones. On this album she opens up and
explodes with her voice, and then she also takes it down to a whisper, or
even a laugh. Sometimes you just hear a singer and you think, “There is
soul in there, and I can hear it.” That is what we heard from
Brittney Howard.
2. My Morning Jacket – The Waterfall
My Morning Jacket released our favorite My Morning Jacket album in 10
years. The Waterfall is big, it’s powerful, and it’s moving. The album weighs
in at just under 50 minutes and it is worth every second. It’s even better if
you catch them during one of their multiple-night shows in Milwaukee.
1. Father John Misty – I Love You, Honeybear
There is no artist writing songs as honest as Father John Misty. Many
songwriters cast themselves or their situation with some romanticism,
expressing it in a grandiose language of love, but Tillman does the
opposite. I Love You Honeybear is an album that is entirely about love
but completely devoid of sentiment. Because of that it might be the most
romantic album ever made. His love isn’t proclaimed or justified by his
expression of it, his love just is. It’s fact.
If life, or art, or anything is some kind of search for Truth, we found it in
this album.

STUDIO MILWAUKEE SESSIONS
Over the past 12 months, Radio
Milwaukee has hosted 19 Studio
Milwaukee Sessions with artists and
bands of national and international
notoriety (listed below). The majority
of these sessions were possible
because our partners at The Pabst
Theater Group brought them to
town for concerts and the musicians
were gracious enough to agree to a
private performance and interview for
88Nine. Studio Milwaukee Sessions
are a great way to treat our donors to
exclusive opportunities to show our
gratitude, and all donors of $500+ are
guaranteed a spot at every session!

Milwaukee.
This is a great opportunity to see some of Milwaukee’s most established

From week-to-week, crowds range from 25-100+ guests!
HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
Dec. 10, 2014
- A team from US Cellular unexpectedly dropped by

wanted to contribute to that effort!

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
From the beginning, an essential part of 88Nine’s
mission has been to make Milwaukee a better
place to live through community engagement.
And thanks to our new home in Walker’s Point,
we now have a much greater impact. In 2013 –
thanks to 1,700 generous donors – we acquired
220 E. Pittsburgh Ave. and transformed the
space to include our studios, offices, a 99-seat
performance space, state-of-the-art production
facilities, a green roof, a community room, and
more. Beyond our music broadcast and digital
content efforts, examples of Radio Milwaukee’s
community engagement efforts include:
• Community Stories
Each year, 88Nine
features 200 nonprofit organizations and
individuals with short-form Community Stories.
We present the ideas and accomplishments
of people who are working to make this a
better community. Our partners can share the
stories we produce for them with their own
constituents and potential clients, patrons, and
donors. Visit radiomilwaukee.org/stories to
listen to stories and see photos.
• PSA Program
Radio Milwaukee awards
on-air announcements to other nonprofits
to promote an event or initiative of their
choice at no charge. This allows our partners
to reach the same audience as our paying
corporate underwriters, even though they are
often working with little or no advertising or
promotions budget. In one year we provide
more than 600 free announcements to
45+ organizations.
• Collecting Donations
Radio Milwaukee
promotes the needs of our nonprofit partners
on the air to mobilize our listeners to bring in
donations. We’ve collected 655 pounds of food
for Hunger Task Force; 1,150 books for Next
Door Foundation; and more than 1,000 toys
for local organizations affiliated with Hispanic
Professionals of Greater Milwaukee.
• Activating our New Home Our new home
was designed to benefit the nonprofit community
and be a resource for the greater good. The
best fit for this effort is to open our doors for
education and awareness events. A few examples
include BoardStar’s Forum on the Future of
Nonprofits; 4th Street Forum on the Road; and
The Commons launch event, and Poetry of the
People by Social X, Milwaukee Urban League,
and Coalition for Justice.
• Cultural Commons An exciting thing
happens when you bring 30 people representing
more than 20 organizations together to launch
an effort designed to break down barriers and
bring people together. Through a new initiative
called Cultural Commons, Radio Milwaukee
is devoting significant resources to address
Milwaukee’s racial segregation challenges.
Launched in 2015, Cultural Commons uses
88Nine’s assets – a beautiful new home; trusting
and committed partners; and a loudspeaker to
reach the community – to build connections
among people and host events designed
to attract people that want to build a more
engaged and inclusive Milwaukee. Current
partners include:
American Civil Liberties Union • Argosy Foundation*
ExFabula • Fix Development •
Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin* •
Gen6 Foundation* • Greater Milwaukee Foundation* •
Greater Together • Heil Family Foundation* •
Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee •
Mandel Group • MiKE/ The Commons •
Milwaukee Business Journal • Milwaukee Succeeds •
Milwaukee Urban League Young Professionals •
Newaukee • Office of the Mayor, City of Milwaukee •
P3 Development Group • Radio Milwaukee •
Social X • Still Waters Collective • True Skool •
Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce
*indicates both a partner and program funder
“Radio Milwaukee is a transformative force in the lives
of others and the built environment. It has positively
impacted my life and I want that same gift to be freely
given to our community and world. The programming
and events are empowering and diverse. Our local music
scene is exploding thanks to 414 Music! A radio station for
the people by the people! Keep up the incredible job.”

VOLUNTEERS
As a listener-supported, independent radio station, we rely on the
generosity of dedicated volunteers to expand our reach into the
community and support our membership efforts. Whether it was asking
trivia questions and distributing premiums at events around the city
during our Discover Milwaukee Tour; wooing the crowds at Summerfest;
answering phones and taking donations at our annual spring and fall fund
drives; providing administrative support in our office; or serving as a brand
ambassador for 88Nine in some other capacity, their efforts were critical to
Radio Milwaukee’s impact on our community in 2015.
In 2015, nearly 150 volunteers contributed over 1,300 hours to
support 88Nine Radio Milwaukee. We are incredibly grateful for the selfless
giving of their time and talents.

“I love the ethics upon which the station operates. There is commitment
to community, respect for ecology and emphasis on music, local and
worldwide, without resorting to repetitive, obnoxious ads as a funding
vehicle. I love that I can hear a Black Keyes song followed by a Beatles
song followed by a great song by a local artist that I have never heard!”
