Play list - 11/29/2007

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.


And since I'm posting scratch videos... check out this duo:

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 - 11/08/2007

A fun part of today was playing a song by a reggae band from Santa Barbara that my friend Greg Brower and I used to listen to back when we went to UCSB. They were called Crucial DBC. Check 'em out on MySpace.

Play list is below, but on a completely unrelated note, a friend of mine from Oxnard, CA built this sweet model and diorama:

Here's his build log

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.


Thanks for listening and reading!
