Play list - 05/29/2008

Today is the birthday of former president JFK. so i played about 25 minutes of some speeches of his off of a record i have.

i also got a LOT of great music this week from nacional records, an alternative latin label. now one of my new favorite bands is the pinker tones from barcelona. i didn't play this particular song today, but here's a video of them performing live:

the great thing about this is that they spend about half their time dancing. its often unclear what, if anything, electronic musicians are doing when they perform. so i'm glad these guys keep the knob turning to a minimum and just dance. much more fun to watch. they're performing in the vans warped tour but i'm not sure i want to go to that big show when i only really want to see them. we'll see

also played some disco songs :-)

play list 05/22/2008

I got to interview john linnell of "they might be giants" yesterday on the phone! So that was fun. i recorded it and played it on-air today. I'll hopefully post an mp3 of the interview soon if they send me the release. A couple people said they liked it so i think it went well.

no time to write much today because we're headed to a backgammon tournament in chicago soon. so it means i can't see they might be giants perform this weekend, which is a bummer.

i got to do three fun things today
1) give away concert tickets to they might be giants. i can't go because i'm going to a backgammon tournament that weekend, but i've seen them many times. they're great
2) got to play euro hit 40. it had a lot of german songs in it, but a friend of a friend at the station knows german and he cleared the language for me.
3) play the ketchup song by "las ketchup". i can't help but love this song. and the video isn't too shabby either:

Play list - 05/01/2008

happy may day! I got to start the show by playing from the new flight of the conchords cd. then my friend Jim "the blind guy" called in to tell me it was also the "national day of prayer". kinda funny that may day - a celebration of the working class, which some might view as a leftist/communist holiday - was on the same day as prayer day, which could be considered a fundementalist Christian event. Jim said he told the Christians holding a prayer day event that he was bringing some buddhists and some transsexuals to pray with them. Then they announced they relocated their event indoors, LOL. They claim it was because of weather forecasts, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.

I was telling my brother that kylie minogue has a new cd out. then we watched this awesome video of hers, "come into my world", directed by Michael Gondry
