play list - 05/21/2009

took a break from the religion interviews this week, so i played 2 full hours of music for the first time in a couple months. started with some christian hip-hop though, courtesy of krs-one. then played more hip-hop including lady sovereign, whose cd i just got recently and really like. i also made sure to get some chromeo in just so i had an excuse to post a video from their appearance on yo gabba gabba! "Pete, did you wash your hands before touching these keyboards?", "Yes", "Did you????", "No :-("

also, they might be giants are in town tomorrow doing a special "flood" show so i played a couple tracks form that cd. too bad i didn't put more effort into getting free tickets to give away this year like i did last year. just didn't get around to it, sorry everyone. but i bought our tickets today, should be a great show!

05/14/2009 - play list - roman catholicism

interviewed Robert Bacic about roman catholicism today. i tried to focus more on things specific to the catholic church than on christianity in general. so we talked about priests, bishops, popes, the sacraments, saints, and more.

before that i played some euro hit 40, a funny song about karate kid 2, and more from staff bend bilili, which is a group of paraplegic musicians from the democratic republic of the congo that play homemade/handmade instruments.

play list - 05/07/2009 - Hinduism

Kris Krishna joined me on the show today to talk about Hinduism. i found it very interesting that he pointed out that Christianity is very similar to Judaism because Christ was originally Jewish, and Buddhism is very similar to Hinduism because Buddha was originally a Hindu. Next week's discussion will be on Roman Catholicism.

i was happy to play "music for a found harmonium" which I've had in my head many times and never knew what it was until recently. i think i knew it from napolean dynamite. here's a pretty sweet live version:

play list - 04/30/2009 - Spring Fund Drive

thursday's fund drive show did not go too well for me. i'm pretty sure i raised the least amount of money that i've rasied on my show during a fund drive in the last 3 years. not sure if its the economy, or not enough listeners, or some other unlucky circumstances. pretty discouraging though. hopefully others at the station are doing better on their shows. thanks very much to those of you who did call in to donate though, i appreciate it!

the better part of the day was that right after my show my girlfriend and i drove 4 hours to saint louis to see flight of the conchords in concert. they were excellent. started off the show coming out in their robot costumes and preformed "too many dicks on the dance floor". had some great light effects too. and the theater that it was in, the fox, was incredible with the old detailed architecture and decorations. they went on to play just about all the songs from their albums, plus a few others, and some from season two. and finished off with a great synchronized dance rendition of "sugar lumps". awesome and hilarious show. then the next day we went to forest park, the bascilica cathedral, and the arch.

started off the show with an edited version of beck's "time bomb". i'd had that song stuck in my head due to the following hilarious video, the hollywood high five montage.

play list - 04/23/2009

no religion interviews scheduled today. still did the big read, so i had just over an hour and a half to play music. i had a few great new releases to play. the new mexican institute of sound cd is excellent, so i started with that. then the new cd from midival punditz, and eventually the new royksopp. happy up here is a great song, even if it is very similar their song eple, which i also love. here is the video for happy up here:

play list - 04/16/2009 - Islam

today's religion interview was islam with Rauf Mir. we talked about the koran, the five pillars of islam, islamic law, and even Greg Mortenson and his book "three cups of tea". he brought in several songs, but i didn't get the song names for this list. since islam is most prevalent in northern africa and the middle east (thank you wikipedia!) i started the show by playing music from that region. we were going to finish with some Cat Stevens (aka Yusaf Islam after he converted to islam), but that track on the cd didn't work. so here's a video of my favorite Cat Stevens songs from one of my favorite movies, rushmore:

play list - 04/09/2009 - Sufism

this week's world faith interview was on sufism with allaudin "dean" ottinger. he leads a sufi center in kc and also happens to be a member of the local band, bcr. so he had a couple friends join him and they played a few live songs using guitar, clarinet, and hand drums. we also played several tracks from cd that dean brought in.

today was also the start of "the big read", where half-hour of my program was used to play a part of a reading of a book. so i only played half hour of my own music today. the big read lasts 3 weeks, and i am continuing the interviews, so looks like i'll play only half hour of my own music for next couple weeks too. but i'm not complaining, i'm enjoying the interviews quite a bit.

was happy to acquire the ulrich schnauss remix of "breathe me", so i started with that. here's a video for the remix, i don't think it is official, but looks pretty good

play list 04/02/2009 - Baha'i

Two fun events today. First, I was able to give away tickets to an upcoming concert for Nacional Records artists Aterciopelados, from Columbia. Then in the second hour I interviewed Barb McAtte, the representative of the Baha'i faith on the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council. We played several songs that she brought in.

Since the monks are still in town, I opened the show talking a bit about them and about the Beastie Boys support for Tibet. Here's a video from their Tibetan Freedom Concerts with some sweet break dancing clips:

play list - 03/26/2009 - Tibetan Monks Visit from India

Really fun show today. As the second installment of my religions of the world series, I was very fortunate to have on my show today the Tibetan monks visiting Kansas City from the Drepung Gomang monastery in India. They are here for about 3 weeks, doing various events around town, hosted by the Rime Buddhist Center. They had a translator with them who spoke very good English. We talked for an hour about their visit, about Buddhism, and about the oppression of the Tibetan people by the Chinese government. These monks, like many Tibetans, fled Tibet and are living as refugees in India. The monks also performed two chants that sounded excellent.

So as a lead up to the interview I played all Indian music.

play list 03/05/2009 - American Indian Spirituality

today was the first of a series of shows i'm doing where i'm inviting different representatives from the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council on to talk about their religion. i'm also hoping to fit music in whenever possible. so today was a good start, i had kara hawkins and stumbling deer on to talk about american indian spirituality. they also are musicians so they performed two improvisational songs using flute, rattle, drum, and vocals. i thought it went really well, i hope all the shows go this well. not sure who i'm having on next week, if anyone, but in three weeks i will have some tibetan buddhist monks on to chant and the week after that the representative of the bahai faith.

started the show off playing the two oscar nominated songs from slumdog millionaire, and some more electronic jazz, including mr. scruff. i didn't play this particular mr. scruff song, but its one of my favorites and i have played it many times:

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

played a few from nickodemus's CD "endangered species" today, and a couple reggae and soca tunes, and more from a.r. rahman. also did a few jazzy songs, including jamiroquai's "virtual insanity". i never really thought of that as jazz but wikipedia described it as acid jazz, and it was on a cd i have called "nu jazz cool", so whatever. I always liked it, and the video is a TRIP!:

play list - 1/15/2009 - first show in new studio

the kkfi studio is moved! i spent a good part of the weekend there with some others, moving computers, getting the network working, building racks for equipment.... long process but it was a lot of fun to be there for the switchover and the first broadcast from the new location on sunday.

so this was my first show there. the mic levels may still be a little low, and the audio computer touch screen is flaky, and a few other small things, but basically all went well.

i decided the first song i wanted to play was talisman by air, one of my favorite electronic songs ever. then i played some songs from the movie slumdog millionaire. just saw the movie and it was excellent! and soundtrack by a.r. rahman is very good too. here's the opening song, featuring m.i.a., with a fake video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqk5Vf8KAfE


after that, played some african music, some flight of the conchords since season 2 starts sunday, and then some house and electronic

crazy day yesterday with the station since we're moving this weekend. i was at the old location from 8:30 to noon for they syndicated shows + my show. then i got a sandwich and went to a 1 o clock meeting until a little after 2. then i went to the new station location so that i could train people on the new audio board at 3. i thought our audio computer system would be moved by then, but it wasn't. i then discovered that the project manager thought i was the one who was moving it, lol. so after the training ended at 4:30, i went back to the new location and broke down (with help) the 3 computers needed, then unloaded them at the new location. got some dinner at 6:30, then went back and set up the 3 computers (with help) and the rack to hold them. finished at 9:30 and then went to watch some djs at a nearby bar for an hour. whew.

i played some reggae on the show, several artits on the ninjatune label, and some electronic. Also this latin alternative song:

whoops! i see that i never posted my play list for Thanksgiving. i guess i was distracted by making a turkey when i got home. it was a fun show because i had my brother and my niece on with me and i had them each pick music. matt picked 8 songs that had to do with using the voice as an instrument - throat singing, yodeling, singing in gibberish... and miranda picked coldplay and the jonas brothers and m.i.a.. i also played some other music that we all like. and started the show with some native american music.

play list - 11/20/2008 - classic rock covers and remixes

today i played a full two hours of classic rock covers and remixes. most of them were covers or remixes of the beatles, rolling stones, or the doors. but there were a few others in there too. including senor coconuts cha cha cha version of deep purple's "smoke on the water". here's a live video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puc0ZiVRESU


a few that were not straight covers or remixes: shinehead's "unity" just used pieces of the beatles "come together"; "rapture riders" was a mash up of "riders on the storm" and blondie's "rapture"; and "stairway to gilligan's island" was a mashup of..."stairway to heaven" and "gilligan's island"

in honor of Obama's exciting victory, i played a song by funkadesi, from chicago. their promo material has a quote from Obama saying "i can't say enough how energizing this band is", and here's a video of him at one of their concerts:

Maybe we'll see funkadesi at the inauguration party???

other recently acquired music i was excited to play today was from my new shinehead cd and from senor coconuts "around the world". he does a great latin cover of that song from daft punk.

play list - 10/23/2008 - pledge drive

today was my pledge drive show. thanks to everyone who called in with pledges! i didn't get as much as i was hoping for, but it looks like this pledge drive is going slowly and that's been true for many people. i had 5 good electronic cd's to give away for $60 pledges, but only had one taker. he chose Verve Remixed.

played 2 cornershop tracks, because i was offering that cd. not sure if i've ever posted the "brimful of asha" video, but it wouldn't hurt to post it again. this is the fatboy slim remix of it:

There's a pretty funny new video for akai 47 by nortec collective. reminds me of the time i went with my friend sam to see a norteno band at ashkenaz in berkeley and sam asked a woman to dance and she got mad at him for trying to dance too close.

i had a good time covering for the reggae show this weekend. so i figured i would just use a lot of those songs for today's show. so my first hour was all reggae that i played saturday night. i'm really liking toots and the maytals, which to me sounds like a combo of reggae and soul. Here's a video:

i got a great new indian hip-hop cd last week by "mc yogi". most all of his songs revolve around the hindu god ganesh, who is an elephant. so the cd is called "elephant power". its both amusing and good music. one song is called "ganesh is fresh", LOL

also had damon alburn's new project: monkey. some fabric live stuff, and a euro hit 40 that included madonna's new song, "give it 2 me", co-produced by Pharell. I love it! I'd say the video is not one of her better ones, pretty boring by her standards. But here it is:

(whoops, i forgot that blogger was down last week when i was trying to publish. this is a week old now)

started my show today with 30 minutes of tracks that i learned of through EuroHit 40, the radio netherlands countdown show. a few of the tracks are electronic kids songs, including one from the crazy kids show called Lazytown. then there's the holly dolly song. i got two calls from people who loved the holly dolly song, and i had one the last time i played it too, so it may be the most well liked song i've ever played on my show, which is hilarious because its so bizarre. i can't help but like it too. and the video is plenty bizarre as well. the singer is supposed to be a donkey, and who knows what that other creature is who is trying to kill the other creatures, LOL. so here it is:

play list - 09/18/2008 with Browntown

the song i was most excited to play today was 20 dollar by m.i.a., which is basically a cool remix of new order's blue monday. i'd never played it before because it has the word s*** in it twice. but i decided that it was good enough that it was worth doing some live editing. so i just faded it out briefly during the objectionable parts. i was a little nervous about it but all went well. i don't think there is an official video for the song online, but here is an unofficial video that is just a slide show of m.i.a. pictures. i like the one where she's wearing a sonic the hedgehog t-shirt, lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iG4b9GKX9Q

i got a great new cd from the station. the band is called funkadesi and they fuse reggae and Indian music. they're from chicago, so their promo material has a quote/review from barack obama, lol. barack says "funkadesi really knows how to get a crowd going. I can't say enough about how energizing this band is. there's a lot of funk in that desi"

so after that i played some other indian music, and then some more run dmc (king of rock) since that went over well last week. then some ska, neil diamond, and some electronic.

what got me playing run dmc in the first place was this solo single by Run that i recently found at the station. i love donald trump's line at the end of the video:

i had a little contest on today's show to see who could name the song sampled in Rev Run's (Run of RUN DMC) song "mind on the road". i had a few callers correctly identify it as joan jett's "i love rock n roll". they all loved the song, and so did i, so i think i'll play it again next week and some more run dmc. also got to play more of my new favorite cd, chromeo's "fancy footwork". here's the video for the song i played, "you're so gangsta". it's odd, but everything they do seems a little odd:

while i was at the station, our garage door broke at home, so i had to come home and spend $150 to have it fixed. that was great.

No time to write much now, Kathleen and I are about to head to a backgammon tournament in madison, wi. 8 hour drive.

i watched a bunch of ali g videos online this week. him talking at harvard graduation is great. sasha baron cohen is so funny. so i decided to play some of his brother's band, zohar, today.

besides those videos, the funniest video i saw this week was sent to me by my friend carol port. its a disco dancing instructional video from finland. the guy is excellent and busts some sweet moves towards the end.

Play list - 08/14/2008 - post SF trip

Just got back from a vacation in San Francisco with Kathleen. I bought about 45 used CD's at Amoeba, the best record store in the world. Most of them were $2 or $3. i'm trying to branch out a little into funk/soul, so i bought some james brown and a cool funk instrumental cd called black feeling. so i started off with that today.

while in SF, i visited andrew, the owner of the satamile and bot record labels. he showed me his sweet home studio and gave me some new stuff to play, so that was fun and put me at about 50 albums to take home. hopefully i'll listen to them all eventually.

i'm also still enjoying latin techno music. here's tijuana sound machine:
