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:

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"

play list - 11/13/2008

today's show was fun, i got several calls. started out with some rock, mostly from the UK. then some latin music, and some covers, including more of the hilarious senor coconut.

the song i can't get out of my head from today's show is "that's not my name" by the ting tings. bummer, you can't embed the video, but here's a link to it:

play list - 11/06/2008

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.
