Play list - 01/31/2008 - Pre- Kid Koala concert

I gave away another 4 pairs of tickets today to the dj shadow, cut chemist, kid koala concert on Tuesday. I think I had more callers for this ticket giveaway than any other time I've given tickets away. Maybe it means more people are listening to my show than in the past, or maybe it just means its going to be a cool concert! :-) I'll hand out some show fliers while I'm there, maybe meet some of the people I gave tickets too. Hope to see you there!

Video of the week would be Timber (a great video) if I hadn't already posted it in the past. But I'm glad that forced me to find this video for the Go! Team song I played today. Apparently its used in a playstation 3 game called little big earth that i'm not familiar with:

Play list - 01/24/2008

I gave away 4 pairs of tickets today to cut chemist, dj shadow, and kid koala at voodoo lounge. so i played some cut chemist and kid koala. also discovered that "where's your head at?" sampled gary numan's "m.e.", so i played those back to back.

I'm hoping that in a few weeks Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords will be on my show!

Funniest video I've seen in a while is this one, Though I certainly to not support racist nazis:

Play list - 01/17/2008 - MLK Tribute

This coming Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. day. Rather than play excerpts of his speeches (which I considered), I decided that for the first hour of today's show I would play music that I thought the Reverend would approve of. Songs about racism, about standing up for your rights, about love and unity. Including this classic song with a classic video.....Fight the Power. What a great video. Flavor Flav and Chuck D are awesome, and so are their soldier backup dancers, and all the high-top fade haircuts in the crowd.



I also extended my streak of playing songs from Guitar Hero III to three weeks. This week's: anarchy in the u.k.

Play list - 01/10/2008

One of the things we got for Christmas at our house is Guitar Hero III. Last week I played a song from it: Paint it Black. This week I played another: Metallica's One. But the version I played of One was by Rodrigo y Gabriela. And I also played a lullaby version of Enter Sandman.

I got a call from a listener (Tom) who says that he has a box load of records, tapes, and CD's from India that he's going to donate to the station for me. Yes! I hate tapes though. I got rid of all mine 3 years ago. But as my grandpa used to say ALL the time, "Beggars can't be choosers".

Thanks to Pat for reminding me to post this video of The Dolly Song by Holly Dolly, from the EuroHit40 I played today. I love this song, and I love dancing donkeys with umbrellas.

Play list - 01/03/2008

I was in Denver for Christmas. While I was there, my brother introduced me to Chocolate Rain. Its a homemade song and video from early 2007. The song is catchy and bizarre. Here's the video:


A great part of it is the parodies. The best being Chad Vader's version:


And there's also a great 8-bit (Nintendo music) version:
