"de donde vengo yo"

"de donde vengo yo" by chocquibtown  (from columbia) was one of my favorite songs of the year from the nacional label, and that's saying a lot because they release a lot of good stuff.  nacional just sent out an email that this song won a latin grammy for best alternative song.  congratulations to them!

play list - 11/18/2010 - last mid-day medley

today was my last day as host of the thursday mid-day medley.  although its a bit of a relief to not have to spend the time preparing and doing the show anymore, of course its also sad to be ending it.  especially after all the nice comments i got from listeners who told me how much they will miss my show.  i'll miss the actual 2 hours of doing the show too.  but between preparing the show, coming in early to engineer the previous show, and having to log play lists, all in the middle of a weekday, it just got to be too difficult for me.  thanks again to everyone for all the nice comments and good wishes.  hopefully i'll keep up the blog with new favorite bands and videos every once in a while. and i plan to cover for people on their shows at the station occasionally too.

so it was fun doing the last show, i had a lot of new music and got a lot of nice phone calls.  i played from the euro hit 40, which i'd hardly even had a chance to preview. one of the songs on it i liked quite a bit, a soul version of white stripes "seven nation army" by a french guy, ben l'oncle soul.  another good one was a new one by ursula 1000 featuring fred schneider from the b-52s called "hey you!"



and here were the rest.  thanks to everyone for listening!

play list - 11/11/2010

i was super excited that one of the promo companies sent a single from the soundtrack for the new "tron: legacy" movie.  the soundtrack is completely composed by daft punk!  one of my favorite groups.  only bad part was that the single is only two minutes long and it isn't their greatest song.  but when you combine it with a tron trailer, its pretty awesome!  *especially* because daft punk are in the trailer, and hopefully the movie!


besides playing that, got some more ursula 1000 in, and a little hip hop.  only one show left!
