the pinker tones' publicist emailed me at 6:00 pm asking if I still wanted to phone interview them. i said it would either have to be in the next few hours or live. so he opted for live and said they would call me at 11:40 am. i've learned from many other dj's at our station that live call-in interviews with musicians often don't happen. sure enough, 11:40 passed and no call. but then!!!... the publicist called at 11:43 or so and said he could have them in 3 minutes and we could do a 5 minute interview or so. i said sure. no call. so no interview today, but we may try to pre-record one this week. i still might go to see them at the vans warped tour, but i will cheer slightly less loudly :-) j/k

i played one of my favorite modern bollywood songs:

Today I did several small groupings of pairs of artists from the same country. France, Spain, Japan, Canada, India.

I may be doing a phone interview with the pinker tones sometime next week since they'll be here on the vans warped tour. their manager asked if i was interested, i said yes, but haven't heard back. we'll see.

The air song i played, "sexy boy", is not my favorite of theirs, but its good and the video is pretty funny:

Today I played half an hour of Latin electronic music, then half an hour of Asian-ish electronic, then just electronic, ending with German electronic. I'm still not tired of the Moby CD, or kylie minogue, or the stuff from nacional, so there was some of all that.

I mentioned the moby video on the air for 'i love to move in here'. it has this pretty funny creature and a good ending.

The kylie song i played today was "wow". i appreciate that more than one of her videos have robot-type dancers.

Her "in my arms" is a good song and video too.

Also, this past weekend I saw local artist winston apple. he had invited me to his cd release party and was a really nice guy. i played a couple of his covers at 11:00
