just heard that michael jackson died. i was a big fan in the late 80's when "BAD" was released. that's also when the moonwalker "movie" was released that had the ultra-long version of smooth criminal, had the video for bad performed by kids, and had ladysmith black mambazo singing at the end. smooth criminal is probably still my favorite song of his. AND that video even was the basis for a smooth criminal video game! (which i loved). i think i'll try to play that song on the show next week.
as for this week, started off with some latin lounge, then some latin electronic (love the zzk sound ablum), then some general electronic stuff. but the song that's been in my head the last week is mentiras by los amigos invisibles. prety cool low-tech video too:

i'm enjoying my new yelle cd, but i was running some lyrics translations last night for her french lyrics and was shocked to find that most of her songs are pretty sexual. at least one definitely was not playable, and several were questionable. so i decided to just stick to "a cause de garcons". also got a cool cd of latin cumbia remixes from nacional and some afro-peruvian remixes from cumbancha. so lots of new music today, plus a little funk at the end.
also slipped in some more lady sovereign, the rapper from the UK. that cd also has some language issues, but "hoodie" was clean:

last week i heard about the french electro-pop artist yelle a couple times, watched a video and really liked it, got the cd, and played it this morning. the song is called "a cause de garcons", which i read means "because of boys". here's the video, pretty funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmLjZrH0VlY
played a few more french electronic songs after that. one of them was daft punk's phoenix. funny thing happened when i was playing that one, someone called in to tell me that my cd was skipping, but it wasn't :-) it is a pretty repetitive song, to be honest. but still good.
also continued my streak of playing from my new amadou & miriam cd and the new nickodemus cd.

play list - 06/04/2009 - Judaism
rabbi scott white and susan choucroun came in today during the second hour to talk about judaism. rabbi scott brought his guitar and played several songs during that time, some in english and some in hebrew. coincidentally, president obama was in egypt today giving a speech on the middle-east conflict. so rabbi scott ended the hour mentioning that and playing a song about peace, called shalom. that was good.
as an introduction to the interview, i started the show with two songs by french-israeli artist yael naim. then played african, afro-funk, and some nickodemus and thievery corporation.
