play list - 01/29/2009

played a few from nickodemus's CD "endangered species" today, and a couple reggae and soca tunes, and more from a.r. rahman. also did a few jazzy songs, including jamiroquai's "virtual insanity". i never really thought of that as jazz but wikipedia described it as acid jazz, and it was on a cd i have called "nu jazz cool", so whatever. I always liked it, and the video is a TRIP!:

play list - 1/15/2009 - first show in new studio

the kkfi studio is moved! i spent a good part of the weekend there with some others, moving computers, getting the network working, building racks for equipment.... long process but it was a lot of fun to be there for the switchover and the first broadcast from the new location on sunday.

so this was my first show there. the mic levels may still be a little low, and the audio computer touch screen is flaky, and a few other small things, but basically all went well.

i decided the first song i wanted to play was talisman by air, one of my favorite electronic songs ever. then i played some songs from the movie slumdog millionaire. just saw the movie and it was excellent! and soundtrack by a.r. rahman is very good too. here's the opening song, featuring m.i.a., with a fake video:

play list - 01/08/2009

crazy day yesterday with the station since we're moving this weekend. i was at the old location from 8:30 to noon for they syndicated shows + my show. then i got a sandwich and went to a 1 o clock meeting until a little after 2. then i went to the new station location so that i could train people on the new audio board at 3. i thought our audio computer system would be moved by then, but it wasn't. i then discovered that the project manager thought i was the one who was moving it, lol. so after the training ended at 4:30, i went back to the new location and broke down (with help) the 3 computers needed, then unloaded them at the new location. got some dinner at 6:30, then went back and set up the 3 computers (with help) and the rack to hold them. finished at 9:30 and then went to watch some djs at a nearby bar for an hour. whew.

i played some reggae on the show, several artits on the ninjatune label, and some electronic. Also this latin alternative song:

play list - 1/1/2009 - New Year's Day

last week my show was on christmas day, so I was gone and had someone cover for me. this week the show fell on new year's day. since my brother and niece were home, they came with me and played a few songs. matt picked some zappa and others, miranda went for jonas brothers and coldplay again. i threw in some indian and african funk that i got for christmas. and since i was playing the jonas brothers, i figured i might as well pull out the hanson mmmbop too. too bad the video can't be embedded. i also played from a favorite i got last year: vhs or beta. great song, strange video:
