play list - 02/19/2009

some station engineers had to do some maintenance work on the transmitter during my show today, so i was only on-air until about 11:15. but we were still streaming on the internet and we never know for sure when we'll be back on-air, so we just keep the show rolling. i may replay some of the off-air songs next week, i hope the web listeners don't mind a few repeats.

mainly i was playing jazz remixes the second hour because i just got a promo for a cd of nat king cole remixes. but i also got some electronic dance and reggae and soca and african in too. soca in honor of upcoming carnaval! played a maximus dan song that i didn't find a good video of, but here is a different one, about soccer even!:

play list - 02/12/2009

i didn't realize that today was lincoln's AND darwin's birthday until "blind guy" called in to let me know. so i learned that, and also i was playing some canadian artists (feist and lhasa and fusion body) and didn't realize that chromeo was canadian until i saw on the feist cd that chromeo remixed one of her tracks, then looked it up and they are from montreal. so i learned a lot today. i played the chromeo remix and so i got in a total of 4 canadian artists. also some ska and reggae and some funk and disco.

for disco, i didn't play this particular song from saturday night fever, but maybe i should have. this is maybe the best movie dance scene ever?!?!?

play list - 02/05/2009 - mini fund drive

We had a mini fund drive this week. so i helped pitch through the news shows from 8:30 to 10:00 and then two more hours for my show. i had others sitting in with me much of the time so that makes it more enjoyable. its still a bit stressful and i was getting discouraged about half way through. but some good donations came in later and my show ended up raising a decent amount, so i wasn't totally depressed at the end.

i got in some good electronic stuff, a few funk tracks, and a couple more soca. for the funk, i played a song from ocean's 12 called "l.s.d. partie". i didn't realize until looking on youtube just now that the song was actually from 1969. it was apparently used in the soundtrack for a french movie from around then that looks pretty interesting
