play list - 01/28/2010

the nacional download cards i've been giving away expire this weekend, so i did one last giveaway and got a few more callers and emails. they all had nice comments too so it was nice to hear those. some days i get almost no calls and its hard to know if anyone is listening, so its good to have occasional days with a lot of calls.

i played some soul/electronic to start, then some reggae and ska, and some indian stuff. speaking of indian music i just found out that six degrees records has a pretty decent free indian sampler available for download on amazon. and there are a whole bunch more good free samplers on amazon if you look in that "customers who bought this item also bought" section.

also played some m.i.a. mango pickle down river. i'm pretty sure this isn't an official video, but it is an animated video someone made just for the song, so that's cool.

play list - 01/07/2010 - mash-ups, producers, covers

I had a kind of 3-theme show today. started with mash ups, in reference to the new dj hero game that has a great soundtrack of mash ups. played a few random songs after that. then highlighted some electronic artists that produce songs for madonna and kylie minogue. madonna was also in one of the mash ups, so i ended up playing 4 madonna songs today :-) i guess it turned into a bit of a madonna tribute show. oh well, why not? she's got a lot of great music. ended with a bunch of cover songs, including "hurt" by nine inch nails performed by johnny cash. there is a cool excerpt on wikipedia about how much trent reznor of nine inch nails loved the video for the johnny cash version of his song. so here it is:
