play list - 02/25/2010

i got a lot of calls today, so that was cool. a couple people said they liked the arabic world fusion music i started with. after that i got into some funk-inspired world music (or world-inspired funk, whichever you like). and then i played 2 tracks from my new favorite cd of funky instrumentals by chris joss. the cd just came out. no videos yet that i found, but here is a video form a previous cd of his that definitely gives you the idea:

... but i like the new cd even better. then finished with some electronic then some latin. looking forward to playing the new groove armada cd next week.

more music today from the dj hero game. one of my favorite mixes in the game is daft punk's "da funk" with queen's "another one bites the dust". here's a video of someone playing that mix perfectly on expert level. not quite there yet myself :-)

play list - 02/11/2010 - pledge drive show #2

i thought for sure it would be harder to raise money on my second show of the pledge drive, but i actually did a little bit better than last week, so that was a relief. i think we've still got quite a way to go to hit our usual targets by the end of the drive. let's hope it happens.

played some indian, some funk, and some latin today. in the latin part i played the pinkertones from barcelona. i love this video of them playing live in barcelona at a festival. they have a great live show, especially for electronic musicians.

also cool that i played a song called "bombay to goa" and an indian man in olathe called in to say he was originally from goa and had done the journey there from bombay and appreciated the song.
