LSR is taking part in a competition hosted by Spotify and Jose Cuervo Tequlia to find the best University playlist across all Universities in the UK. The playlist with the most votes will win the ultimate night out on campus on Thursday 16th May 2013.
With DJ sets by Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip and Orlando Weeks from The Macabees it promises to be a legendary night out.
We’ve compiled the ultimate Leeds Uni playlist here at LSR, and we need YOUR votes to win us a massive night out, and no small amount of Tequila. Rally your mates to vote for our Spotify playlist at voteforourplaylist.com. It’s our chance to win that big campus night.
You can also be in with a chance to win prizes for yourself just by voting including Microsoft Surface tablets, ASOS vouchers , festival tickets and ice cold Jose Cuervo Tequila
Your University needs you!
After weeks of campaigning, we have our results! With a UK record of 11,383 votes cast, 6 officers and 1 editor were elected for the 2013-2014 LUU Student Executive. You can get a breakdown of results by checking out the Leeds Student liveblog, but if you want to re-live the excitement as presented to you by Leeds Student Radio, you can listen to the each result as it happened, after the break.
Q: Who loves quizzes?
A: Everyone
An LSR tradition, stretching back at least… 3 years – maybe more, the Big Quiz Social makes its glorious return on Tuesday 5th March.
We’ll be in the homely setting of LUU’s own Old Bar – where better for a Pub Quiz? (This is a rhetorical question – unlike the ones you will hear at the event). Events will be kicking off at around 7.30pm, so try and get there beforehand, and there will be a range of prizes for the winners/runners-up/best name etc.
It’s usually a fantastic night, and a really good way to get to know other members of the society, as well as watch the Station Manager get progressively drunker as he hosts the event.
Get a team together – departmental/show teams are encouraged – grab some friends, have some beers and answer some bloody questions!
The Facebook event is here - so get attending and inviting

Our RPM specialist music shows run across 6 nights a week from 9-10pm with each one dedicated to a different style of music. Tuesday night is Rock and Punk night with Max Bower and friends present the very best in Rock and Punk music with some Blues thrown in for good measure. They often get in local bands for live interviews as well as reviewing the best new music out there and gigs going on in Leeds.
On last week’s show, Max was joined by Ian Tozer and Dan Bennett for a live session special where they exclusively play live tracks for an hour. With music from bands such as The Who, Bruce Springsteen and Them Crooked Vultures. You can listen again on their show page here and don’t forget to listen to the show, every Tuesday night at 9pm.

So the Oscars were a thing that happened at the weekend. Unfortunately, because Americans are selfish and have no consideration for us Brits, they were on at a like, 3am and we all know students don’t stay up that late unless tequila is involved. However, Leeds Student Radio, being the lovely people that we are, are sparing you the bother of trawling through highlights by giving you all the information you’ll ever need on the 2013 Oscars all in one little podcast.
Starring: Heather, Emily, THEE James Hanson, and some sketchy film knowledge.
