play list - 04/17/2008

We hit our pledge drive's goal of $100,000 yesterday! so we ended our pledge drive just in time for me to not have to do another pledge drive show.

kathleen and i went to two concerts this week. Last Thursday it was The Wilders opening up for Chicago Afro Beat Project. But most of the crowd was there to see the Wilders, and they stole the show. they were good! And last night we saw reggae. locals Jah Roots, then Mikey General and Luciano. I liked all of them! though i was a little overdosed on reggae by the end.

I did some live censoring so that I could play The Message. Here's the video:

play list - 04/10/2008 - Space show for fund drive

The station encouraged us to make our fund drive show a "special" show, so I did a space/sci-fi theme. I did a non-fund drive show with that theme last year, but I changed many of the songs. And I played a 2 minute interview with Arthur C. Clarke from Pacifica.

I'd say it didn't help attract funds though. I raised about $800, but about half of that came from me, my girlfriend, and other KKFI programmers. Last time I did better, but I also had sent out emails to people, and I had premiums. so I guess I'll do those again next time.

I did some CD looping (of start of robot parade) and some mixing (of sound effects on CD and "up to jupiter" on vinyl) today, so that was fun.

Last week I didn't post a video, but I've since watched this Arthur C Clarke video, which I think is well worth posting:



Tomorrow night is a concert of local group BCR that has a theramin player. So I played some BCR and some theramin music today (Portishead, Cornelius). we were on an off the air because of transmitter problems :-(

I also was on the talk show right after my show as a guest to talk about IRV. I think it went well.

Play list - 03/20/2008

Wow, I've been so busy this week I didn't even remeber to do my blog entry here until 3 days later. and now i have too much to do to find a video. But one item of note this week is that Arthur C. Clarke just died. He was my favorite science fiction author. so i started the day by reading an article about him (while the 1st song was playing in background) and then playing the classic classical piece from 2001 Space Odyssey, which was on a Fabric mix.

Peace!

Play list - 03/13/2008 - Justin Van Pelt as Hedwig

I interviewed Justin van Pelt today on my show. He plays Hedwig in the local production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Kathleen and I saw it on Friday night and it was great! justin did an excellent job at what must be a very difficult part to play. The live show is SO much better than the movie. But here's a good video from the movie version, of when the band is playing one of their miserable gigs in a restaurant.


after talking with justin, i played some reggae and ska, some music from mali, and i'm pretty sure this was the first time i played the x-ecutioners on my show.

I got a lot of calls today, that was fun. Mainly when I started talking about They Might Be Giants and the two shows they're doing in Kansas City. One is a children's show since they're doing children's music now. So let's feature a TMBG video, this is one of my favorite songs by them, Ana Ng:


Wow, they'll be in KC on a Friday. Too late to be on my show live, but hopefully by phone!

I had lots of good new (to me) music to play today. I just got Digitalism last night and it sounds excellent. I got this electro-belly dance CD called Bodyshock while I was on vacation in Puerto Rico, and its great. But maybe my favorite today was Mr. Pacman, a bitpop band from Denver. Thats BITpop as in 8-bit Nintendo-style music. Here's a video:


I started off with a German set: polka, Kratwerk, and Digitalism. That was fun.

Play list - 02/07/2008 - Post- Kid koala concert

dj shadow, cut chemist, and kid koala show was really good. my girlfriend and i had more fun watching kid koala, who was the opener, then the other guys. they were good too and played a good mix of music, but kid koala was such an excellent scratcher, and he was energetic and funny. and the cameras were on his hands the whole time so it was great to get close ups of what he was doing. he stole the show! (imho)

so i started off with a new track of his. and then i played several songs that the other two played in their set. they played a mashup from the 70's called "stairway to gilligan's island". maybe i'll get that and play it in two weeks. but this coming week i'll be in puerto rico!!!

i also played some funk today. this stormtrooper dancing video is the reason i played let's groove:

Play list - 01/31/2008 - Pre- Kid Koala concert

I gave away another 4 pairs of tickets today to the dj shadow, cut chemist, kid koala concert on Tuesday. I think I had more callers for this ticket giveaway than any other time I've given tickets away. Maybe it means more people are listening to my show than in the past, or maybe it just means its going to be a cool concert! :-) I'll hand out some show fliers while I'm there, maybe meet some of the people I gave tickets too. Hope to see you there!

Video of the week would be Timber (a great video) if I hadn't already posted it in the past. But I'm glad that forced me to find this video for the Go! Team song I played today. Apparently its used in a playstation 3 game called little big earth that i'm not familiar with:

I'm hoping that in a few weeks Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords will be on my show!

Funniest video I've seen in a while is this one, Though I certainly to not support racist nazis:

Play list - 01/17/2008 - MLK Tribute

This coming Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. day. Rather than play excerpts of his speeches (which I considered), I decided that for the first hour of today's show I would play music that I thought the Reverend would approve of. Songs about racism, about standing up for your rights, about love and unity. Including this classic song with a classic video.....Fight the Power. What a great video. Flavor Flav and Chuck D are awesome, and so are their soldier backup dancers, and all the high-top fade haircuts in the crowd.



I also extended my streak of playing songs from Guitar Hero III to three weeks. This week's: anarchy in the u.k.

Play list - 01/10/2008

One of the things we got for Christmas at our house is Guitar Hero III. Last week I played a song from it: Paint it Black. This week I played another: Metallica's One. But the version I played of One was by Rodrigo y Gabriela. And I also played a lullaby version of Enter Sandman.

I got a call from a listener (Tom) who says that he has a box load of records, tapes, and CD's from India that he's going to donate to the station for me. Yes! I hate tapes though. I got rid of all mine 3 years ago. But as my grandpa used to say ALL the time, "Beggars can't be choosers".

Thanks to Pat for reminding me to post this video of The Dolly Song by Holly Dolly, from the EuroHit40 I played today. I love this song, and I love dancing donkeys with umbrellas.

I was in Denver for Christmas. While I was there, my brother introduced me to Chocolate Rain. Its a homemade song and video from early 2007. The song is catchy and bizarre. Here's the video:


A great part of it is the parodies. The best being Chad Vader's version:


And there's also a great 8-bit (Nintendo music) version:


I also played some music from Andy Kaufman, via the Man on the Moon soundtrack

A few more Christmas songs this week. Lots of people liked Cheech & Chong's "Santa Claus and his Old Lady". There is a YouTube video for it, which is actually the same audio track I played, but it just has a Cheech and Chong slide show for the video:


Other than that, I played some bollywood, some music from china, some electronic, etc. Merry Christmas to everyone!

The best part of the shows in December is being able to play from my El Vez "sno-way Jose" Christmas CD. El Vez is a genius. Here's the non-Christmas version of "En El Barrio"

The Christmas version seamlessly mixes in Silent Night *AND* Champagne Supernova by Oasis. Seriously. Genius.

I also did my first (I think?) live editing out of illegal language today. It was during "The message" by grandmaster flash and the furious five. I had to mute it for a few seconds to edit out "pissing" and "fag-hag", which might not have been violations anyway, but I figured it wasn't worth taking a chance.

Play list - 12/06/2007 - After Youth Peace Empowerment

This past Saturday I DJ'ed at the Youth Peace Empowerment event. The bad news is that there was hardly anyone there. But the good news is that we still had a good time. My girlfriend and my brother and his girlfriend were there dancing, and some other people. And DJ Skratch E from KKFI's Wednesday night electronic show was there to DJ right after me. And we had some cool MC's who occasionally rocked the mic while the music was playing. it was fun to hear them freestyling to daft punk.

My favorite song of the night was probably Jogi by Panjabi MC. I don't know why I have not been playing this song on the air before!! I guess because its foreign hip-hop, which makes me a little afraid of bad lyrics. But today I decided it should be fine. Here's the awesome video:


So starting at 11:00 a.m. of today's show I played an hour's worth of the set I played Saturday and tried not to get on the mic too much. Had a good time.

So my brother sent me a link to this Daft Punk home music video for Harder Better Faster Stronger. Its very cool.
Daft Bodies - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger


It turns out there are a LOT of home videos for this song. Someone does the same thing as the bodies one above, except just using their hands. I'm not sure which video came first. Then there's the dancing girl below, and then there is an accapella version. And then Kanye West sampled it for his Stronger song. Seems this song has been the source of much creativity. Daft Punk rocks! And this is an old album, I'm surprised I haven't heard more about their more recent Human After All album because it is excellent.



One funny thing that happened today was that I played a "modern disco" set that caused some negative feedback. I think it was specifically the song "From Disco To Disco" that people hated. One person called in and said "I don't know what you call this but it ain't music", then hung up. and the station manager said the sound in the song sounded like someone choking a duck, LOL. It does actually sound something like that, its very cool.

Play list - 11/22/2007 - Thanksgiving

Wow, its quite a bit different doing a show on a holiday. there's nobody at the studio except me, and not many people on the streets outside. when nobody is calling, it makes you wonder if anyone is really listening. makes me sympathize with the programmers who have late night / overnight shows. but eventually some people called in to say happy thanksgiving, so that was nice. happy thanksgiving to everyone!

I played Rock It today. Here's a cool live video. Not the original Grandmaster DST on the turntable, but the replacement scratcher is great.

Play list - 11/15/2007 - Journey With Barbara Jordan

Kathleen and I went to the play "Journey with Barbara Jordan" on Saturday. It was a very good story, she was an impressive woman. So I asked the star/co-writer of the play if she wanted to do an interview, and she did. And the director was part of the interview too. We did it over the phone last night and recorded it and it turned out well. It was a bummer that there were only about 20 people at the show when we saw it, so hopefully the interview will help get some more people to see it. That's why I played Shirley Temple today, because Barbara Jordan loved her.

Besides that, I played the song from Rushmore that's in the second half of this clip:

play list - 11/01/2007

Last night was Halloween. We usually go trick-or-treating with my niece. But this year we just set up a "haunted house". My brother had a voice processor that made his voice sound like a monster, so he set up his speaker outside and scared kids while I walked around the hard in a gorilla costume :-) Pretty fun time.

I also spent a fair amount of time on facebook this week, particularly on the iLike music application. I just joined. I'll probably tire of it soon, but its fun now.

No particular theme today. Here's the video for Manu Chao's Mr. bobby. I'd love to play more of his music, but many songs are in Spanish and I'm not confident that there wouldn't be bad language. bummer.

Play list - 10/25/2007

This is my pre-halloween show, so I played a few halloween type songs, but not too many.

The song I was most excited to play was the one I opened with, by Bole 2 Harlem. Here's a short video of them performing it at the Ethiopian Music Awards:

Play list - 10/18/2007 - Dalai Lama + Branson

Two themes for today's show.

First, yesterday the dalai lama received the congressional gold medal. i didn't find any audio posted last night of the speech he gave, so i played part of an old speech of his from central park, NY, in 1999. I didn't find a great video of his acceptance speech either, but here is an interesting clip from Australia about his policy on China.


The other theme was my trip to Branson, MO this weekend. Branson is all about shows, kinda like Las Vegas without the gambling. The majority of shows are country/western themed, and I was skeptical of finding any good shows. But we saw four GREAT shows:
-- Liverpool Legends (tribute to The Beatles)
-- Mark Twain tribute breakfast show
-- New Shanghai Circus (Chinese acrobats)
-- Jackson Cash (tribute to Johnny Cash)
Liverpool Legends and Jackson Cash were such good tribute groups! They looked and sounded very like the originals. Of course they're NOT the originals, but they were good enough that it was a blast to see them. I recommend all of those shows. Here's a video of the Liverpool Legends:

... and Jackson Cash:

Play list - 10/11/2007

For starters, I did not end up seeing Peelander-Z last week :-( I ended up with a bad headache by late afternoon and the show was in Lawrence, 45 minutes away. I think I was asleep before the concert would have event started, LOL

Today I got to play 2 human beatbox songs, that was fun. And I played some old Van Halen in honor of the fact that they are coming to town. And some Abba in honor of the fact that Mamma Mia is in town (and I saw it and it was good!). Madonna's "Hung up" samples "gimme gimme gimme" so i played both of those. here's the video fo the week: madonna's "hung up"! This sweet video also has "crumper" Miss Prissy as featured in the move Rize!

Playlist - 10/04/2006

Good day today! No mistakes, and I got several calls. I even got a caller who told me that I did a great job covering for a show on Sunday and it made him listen to mine and tell some friends! AND I got a week-after pledge from my friend Rich in Oxnard, CA!

Tomorrow night I'm going to see these guys in concert in Lawrence, Peelander-Z:

Play list - 09/27/2007 - Fall Fund Drive

Whew! My fund drive show is over! I was stressing about it, couldn't get to sleep, woke up early, now I'm exhausted. But it went well! Thanks so much to all my friends and everyone else who called in to donate! I think the station as a whole isn't doing great, which is a bummer. but for now, i'm just glad mine is done!

I couldn't find a video to go with today's songs, so I'm going to embed a video I made about Instant Runoff Voting. Not quite as exciting, but important:

Play list - 09/20/2007

My worst...show...ever. Not necessarily the music that was played, but at least from the chaos and technical perspective. One of the mics is not working, which is a pretty big deal since we only have 3 and many shows have more than one guest. And particularly because our pledge drive starts tomorrow and we often have multiple people pitching at a time. So they really wanted to get the mic fixed today, and the electrician just happened to show up right before my show started. So this was the 2nd time I did my show while the electrician was working on the mixing board at the same time, opening and closing the door while I'm on the mic, and even trying to mouth something to me while I'm on the mic, LOL! And I'm having to do tests of the broken mic while on air, so that when it doesn't work (which it didn't) there is just dead air. So lots of dead air today while testing the dead mic. Hopefully we'll get the backup studio working so that we don't have to be working on things while on the air.

Okay, enough whining. here's the video of the day. Its a great one!

Play list - 09/13/2007

i learned how to do something new at the station today. i changed some of the bulbs on the mixing board for the lights that tell you what inputs are active. it definitely helps when the lights are working for that! Of course, in the proecss, i left one CD player in the "off" mode, so when i tried to use it, nothing happened. and i also didn't turn down the turntable volume after the song i played off of a record so the next song on the record accidentally started up. so a couple small mistakes today.

Video for the day: Rodrigo y Gabriela playing Metallica!

Playlist - 09/06/2007

Today was essentially my one year anniversary show! (just a day less). Thanks to Kathleen for pointing that out :-) I thought I played a pretty good show in honor of that. Hardly any phone calls though :-(

I started off with some hip-hop today. Inexplicably, when I was announcing Jurassic 5 I said "Jurassic Park", LOL.

Then I played some more Flight of the Conchords:

Play list - 08/23/2007 - Amoeba music

The ethnic festival was great last weekend! I ate:
-- curry puffs from Malaysia
-- tofu rice pocket, rice ball, and edamame from Japan
-- shave ice from hawaii
-- hummus from israel
-- banana sticky rice from thailand
and we handed out lots of flyers about the station's world music

i was very excited for two things today.
1) Got to play flight of the conchords. Please watch the hilarious video of the song i'd really like to play, but don't think will be appropriate:

2) Got to play a lot of my music from my trip to amoeba music in hollywood 2 weeks ago

we also started using special software at the station to log playlists. so now my playlists will be exported from there. not super pretty but more info. here it is!

The Ethnic Festival is this weekend, so i got to do an interview with a couple of the organizers. I'm also going to sit at the KKFI table there all Sunday afternoon.

Besides the interview, I was excited to play the first two tracks from the new Chemical Brothers CD. They're pretty sweet. But they made a guy call in who said they were "nerve wracking" and that he wanted me to play something "pretty", LOL.

Here's also a new video from the Chemical Brothers CD. I like this song, but it isn't clean for the air, so this is as close as I'll come to playing it.
