play list - 12/31/2009

i got my major lazer cd in the mail this week and was happy to play that for the first time. i just saw the videos a couple weeks ago and they were totally wild. no surprise since they were directed by the "eric" part of "tim and eric's awesome show, great job", which is also wildly hilarious. i hesitate to link to the videos since they are somewhat NSFW but they are so trippy that i am going to do it anyway. so you've been warned. of course the geeky dj in the video with the computerized equipment is me :-)

also i played calvin harris, who is a producer for kylie minogue. i think next week i will play several songs by electronic artists who produce for popular artists like madonna and kylie.

happy new year to everyone!

played a heavy dose of sitar music today, including the sitar "jingle bells" by anup. and several christmas song remixes. also played a couple electro-funk songs. so i was really bummed that i couldn't play this song, because it is only available for purchase in the UK itunes store right now. its created by two dj's, so the band in the video isn't real, as far as i know, but the dancing in the video is excellent!

i'm doing double-duty on the air for the next two weeks. i'll be covering for mike murphy's show from 6am - 8am. not excited about the wake up, but its still fun to try a different time slot.

play list - 12/3/2009

got a new "turntables on the hudson" cd and another world fusion one called "the new gold standard" with some good sitar parts, so i focussed on world fusion music today. funny thing... i got both of these cds (and many more very good cd's) as downloads from a promotion company called spectre digital. i was listening to one cd from them this week and noticing that a song was using lyrics that were the name of a different song on the cd. after this happened a couple times, i checked and found that when you download the tracks from the spectre site they are sequenced differently than the track listing on the album art, LOL. so i had already played several songs on air in the past couple weeks and announced the wrong title. the not so funny part is that i had to re-burn several cd's, which was a bit of a hassle. but the music is great, so i'm not complaining.

i didn't play this song today, but i've played it at least once and the video just came out, so here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCZykYexm2U

play list - 11/26/2009 - Kathleen guest on Thanksgiving

kathleen guest dj'd with me on the show today. she had lots of her family listening so she did some dedications - man in black, give peace a chance, we're in the money, white christmas, and fly me to the moon. we also mixed in several electronic songs we both like, and i played two tracks each from a couple of my current favorite cds - quiero club and balkan beat box. she found a good video for the johnny cash song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCqpPj87ekE


this was also the first show where i played some songs directly from my laptop by plugging it into our universal input console. that was nice except that i accidentally had itunes set to overlap the songs, which i didn't want on the radio. and kathleen was texting with her family all through the show, so between the laptop and the texting, it was a very high-tech show :-)

happy thanksgiving to everyone!

play list - 11/19/2009

started out with air's 10th anniversary moon safari again, so i thought i'd play several more electronic songs from the 1997-1999 span. also nacional now has a free cd sampler available through amazon. so i played music from that and gave away a few more of their itunes download cards.

and if you're going to download the free nacional sampler from amazon, you might as well download the free philip glass sampler too. i also played from that.

and i played some gogol bordello and two other bands started by members of gogol bordello. saw gogol bordello in lawrence last month, it was great. no videos for the songs i played today, but this is their most famous one and a great one, and i've apparently never posted it.

play list - 11/12/2009

kathleen and josh and i went to see har mar superstar last night and also met up with mike mcgrath there, who had won tickets on my show. har mar was apparently very sick with the flu but still did a great show in a small place, the brick. he stripped off a shirt just about every song (about 6 of them) until he was shirtless. then for the last song or two took off his pants and performed in his paul frank briefs with silver shoes on. very hilarious. check out the pictures on the pitch concert review.

so i played one of the few clean har mar songs from the album today, "sunshine". i don't find a video for that one, but here is a song he played last night that is a great example of his good music and hilarious dancing.

then gave away 5 nacional records sampler itunes download cards. always fun to give stuff away.

went to tiesto last week, it was awesome! totally totally packed, which was fun, and incredible light show. lots of seizure-inducing strobes. and it was at the uptown which made for a few really cool pics with the theater in them. This is one of the best, and here is a link to the whole album.

tonight kathleen and josh and i are going to see tiesto! he's supposed to be one of the best, if not the best, dj in the world. the tour video (below) is awesome. hopefully we're not the very oldest ones there :-) time to start hitting the coffee.

did something new on the air today. i read dave zirin's column "the edge of sports". if our programming committee approves, then i'm hoping that in the future i can pre-record it weekly and then it can be played during other shows on our station too. this week's column was about rush limbaugh's bid to buy the saint louis rams (with his investment group). here is a link to the column.
http://www.edgeofsports.com/2009-10-14-461/index.html

started the show with some older favorites - nightmares on wax, theivery corporation, nickodemus. got into some african music, some funk, etc. part of the african music was amadou & miriam's "Le Réalité". they are a blind couple from mali and their whole cd, "dimanche a bamako", is excellent. this is a good video of them preforming live, too bad it isn't a little louder.

did not end up going to see moby's midnight dj set last week. decided i would save my limited late-night DJ viewing power for Tiesto in a couple weeks.

i played the october euro hit 40 today. it had several songs that were performed at the ALMA (american latino media awards) awards in september, which i just happened to catch when flipping through channels. one that was performed at the ALMA's that wasn't featured on euro hit 40 was pitbull's "i know you want me". it's a decent song, not great, so i couldn't decide whether or not to play it to complete the theme. i decided to play it and got a call saying that song was already overplayed all over corporate radio right now :-) oh well. that was kinda funny. also had mike murphy at the station take a picture of me with the euro hit 40 case so that maybe they will send me some t-shirts to give away.

besides that, played more from my current favorite CDs - the new cornershop and scott hardkiss. and soca music in honor of rio getting the olympic games. here's another of my favorites from the new cornershop.

i was out of town last week and it was pledge drive time, so i pre-recorded my pledge drive show. i found out today that i only got one pledge, so that was depressing. but at least it was a good one for a guest dj spot. not sure if the pre-recording had anything to do with it, but it couldn't have helped. the whole fund drive total was quite low and i guess other people had bad results similar to mine. so hopefully for me it was just a reflection of the economy.

this week i played some new music from a new artist, scott hardkiss. one of his great songs is "the underwater ball", so then i played a few other ocean/sea related songs, including the f.u.n. song by spongebob and plankton :-) also some classic rock covers and a little classic rock. and played some moby since he will be doing a dj set in kansas city tomorrow night at the beaumont. kathleen and i are not happy that it starts at 11:30 pm, but we will try to suck it up and go. josh is going too. could be fun. video i played was body rock, which is a hilarious video

i started the show today with the EuroHit 40. this is a countdown of the top 40 hits in europe that is put together once a month by radio nederlands. they don't play each song in full, they pick select songs to play in one hour and just list the others. the show reminds me of when i was a kid and used to plan every sunday to listen to casey casem's top 40 countdown and i kept a log book of the top 10 each week (i guess i started as a music geek very early on). i would get so annoyed that i had to listen to the terrible song "sailing" by christopher cross each week when it was near and at number one for so long. and speaking of terrible songs, i usually don't play the whole hour of euro hit 40 because it can be packed with terrible songs from the united states. but this month had only one terrible song (pussycat dolls) and lots of really good ones, so i played the full hour. you can listen to the EuroHit 40 shows and/or download them for free at their web site: http://www.rnw.nl/radio-program-list/2497

after that, played some french-electro, then some electronic-reggae, then regular reggae, then two more form the new cornershop!

finally bought the new cornershop cd this week. first two tracks rock! the rest probably do too, but i haven't had time to listen that far yet. here's the video for the first track. lots of that great indian string instrument (probably sitar, but maybe other) sound that i love, which is why i love cornershop!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llVuUqfuhFw

i emailed the cornershop web site to see if i might be able to interview tjinder singh. we'll see!

but i was sad to learn today that local artist "bongo" barry bernstein died last week. i just had him on my show 4 months ago along with his daughter and allaudin ottinger. the three played some music from the sufi faith as part of the religions of the world series i was doing. so today i played a recording of the music they played in the studio during that show. here are some great photos of him doing his performances for kids:

one of the most interesting things i played today was electronic music fused with tuvan (mongolia/russia area) throat singing. the tuvan band is called huun huur tu and the cd is produced by an electronic music producer. here's a video of them without the electronic part. they can sing these deep notes and make these bizarre whistling/humming sounds with their throats at the same time. not to mention playing instruments too.

next week i plan some beatles and esquivel, by request. and i'll be giving away some music download cards from nacional records.

watched the live "scratch" video this weekend, so that made me want to play the x-ecutioners and other turntablists. that expanded into quite a bit of hip-hop, including some reggae hip-hop from damian marley and shinehead. i've played "welcome to jamrock" many times, its a great song. here's the video:

my brother got the daft punk "alive 2007" cd for christmas in 2007 and i can't believe i never really listened to it until recently. i watched the videos of their tour, and they're awesome! but the videos make me sorely regret not travelling to see them at my home town venue - red rocks in colorado. two "robots" playing awesome music from the top of a pyramid that shoots lights and fog, outside at red rocks. what could be possibly be better?!?!?!?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGECJP3phyY&feature=fvw


so i started my show with 13 minutes from that cd, then played some electro from iceland and norway, and the usual latin stuff. it was my 3rd week playing bomba estereo's "fuego" and i accidentally cued the wrong track and had to fade out and switch tracks. so i think that was a sign that i'm done with that one.

got a new cd in the mail this week: pepe deluxe. i've only had time to listen to a couple tracks, but they were both great. so i started off with those, including this song: woman in blue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgNSAwRH_XU


also found out that the old ska band madness has a new cd out. haven't been able to listen to all of that one either, but i played a couple tracks from it. so i decided to play some other 80's ska too.

it was the last day here for one of our interns, so he asked if he could play a couple songs on my show and i let him. he picked one that i definitely wouldn't normally play - beautiful by akon - but he also picked one that was quite good - put your hands up for detroit.

play list - 07/16/2009 - space show

i did my space themed show today. i've done it about once each year, with many of the same songs and many different ones each time. one fun twist today is that i interviewed margie kay with the mutual ufo network (mufon). she is organizing a ufo conference in kansas city this weekend. she talked about the recent increase of sightings in the kansas city area. it was similar to this tv interview she did. (but of course the stupid tv news shows won't cover any story for over two minutes, but we were able to talk for 15 minutes)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybu9X528Fyk


another highlight was playing from a 1977 record my brother had called "the story of star wars". it's excerpts of the movie narrated and put onto one hour's worth of vinyl. i played the first 5 minutes or so which covered princess leia giving r2-d2 the plans and then the droids escaping in the escape pod. followed by the imperial march.

well i didn't end up playing michael jackson's smooth criminal on my show this week, but i did play a couple songs from off the wall because they were funky! (and i couldn't find my record of bad and my brother's thriller record was in terrible condition). so then i also played some james brown and some kool & the gang. a listener, mike, called in to tell me that there is a great video of michael jackson, james brown, and prince performing spontaneously together. here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/v/1CoxNzOOoQU&hl=en&fs=1&


while talking about michael jackson, i started talking about the moonwalker video game, and then other great band/music related video games, including:
-- journey escape for the atari 2600
-- kiss pinball machine
-- guitar hero

just heard that michael jackson died. i was a big fan in the late 80's when "BAD" was released. that's also when the moonwalker "movie" was released that had the ultra-long version of smooth criminal, had the video for bad performed by kids, and had ladysmith black mambazo singing at the end. smooth criminal is probably still my favorite song of his. AND that video even was the basis for a smooth criminal video game! (which i loved). i think i'll try to play that song on the show next week.

as for this week, started off with some latin lounge, then some latin electronic (love the zzk sound ablum), then some general electronic stuff. but the song that's been in my head the last week is mentiras by los amigos invisibles. prety cool low-tech video too:

i'm enjoying my new yelle cd, but i was running some lyrics translations last night for her french lyrics and was shocked to find that most of her songs are pretty sexual. at least one definitely was not playable, and several were questionable. so i decided to just stick to "a cause de garcons". also got a cool cd of latin cumbia remixes from nacional and some afro-peruvian remixes from cumbancha. so lots of new music today, plus a little funk at the end.

also slipped in some more lady sovereign, the rapper from the UK. that cd also has some language issues, but "hoodie" was clean:

last week i heard about the french electro-pop artist yelle a couple times, watched a video and really liked it, got the cd, and played it this morning. the song is called "a cause de garcons", which i read means "because of boys". here's the video, pretty funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmLjZrH0VlY


played a few more french electronic songs after that. one of them was daft punk's phoenix. funny thing happened when i was playing that one, someone called in to tell me that my cd was skipping, but it wasn't :-) it is a pretty repetitive song, to be honest. but still good.

also continued my streak of playing from my new amadou & miriam cd and the new nickodemus cd.

play list - 06/04/2009 - Judaism

rabbi scott white and susan choucroun came in today during the second hour to talk about judaism. rabbi scott brought his guitar and played several songs during that time, some in english and some in hebrew. coincidentally, president obama was in egypt today giving a speech on the middle-east conflict. so rabbi scott ended the hour mentioning that and playing a song about peace, called shalom. that was good.

as an introduction to the interview, i started the show with two songs by french-israeli artist yael naim. then played african, afro-funk, and some nickodemus and thievery corporation.

had a guest dj today - brad bruce. so he did the first hour of music, then i did the 2nd hour. i played from the nickodemus new release, sun people. also, i just got the latest cd from amadou & miriam, so was excited to play from that too.

went to see they might be giants do their "flood" concert last week. it was awesome. i don't think i've ever seen so many fans singing the words to every song.

parents are visiting, so that's all for this week.

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 :-("

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDG0c3saE4I


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.
