Play list - 08/23/2007 - Amoeba music

The ethnic festival was great last weekend! I ate:
-- curry puffs from Malaysia
-- tofu rice pocket, rice ball, and edamame from Japan
-- shave ice from hawaii
-- hummus from israel
-- banana sticky rice from thailand
and we handed out lots of flyers about the station's world music

i was very excited for two things today.
1) Got to play flight of the conchords. Please watch the hilarious video of the song i'd really like to play, but don't think will be appropriate:

2) Got to play a lot of my music from my trip to amoeba music in hollywood 2 weeks ago

we also started using special software at the station to log playlists. so now my playlists will be exported from there. not super pretty but more info. here it is!

Play list - 08/16/2007 - Ethnic Festival

The Ethnic Festival is this weekend, so i got to do an interview with a couple of the organizers. I'm also going to sit at the KKFI table there all Sunday afternoon.

Besides the interview, I was excited to play the first two tracks from the new Chemical Brothers CD. They're pretty sweet. But they made a guy call in who said they were "nerve wracking" and that he wanted me to play something "pretty", LOL.

Here's also a new video from the Chemical Brothers CD. I like this song, but it isn't clean for the air, so this is as close as I'll come to playing it.

Muhammad Ali Cartoon

I'm going to try to attach a picture or video with each play list now, so I considering going back to modify some old posts, but I'm just giong to add them going forward.

In the meantime, looking for old Cassus Clay videos, I found this sweet cartoon starring Muhammad Ali. From the days he was marketing himself everywhere and every way, I guess.
