on sunday, my friend josh and i went to see the producer/dj "pretty lights" at liberty hall in lawrence. it was awesome. great music, great light show, great venue. he uses the cool music distribution model of allowing all his music to be downloaded from his site for free/donation. here's a video of him performing in st. louis. its one of the songs i played today. he had a live drummer in lawrence too, but the lights were way better at liberty hall than in the tent in this video.

so i started the show with two pretty lights songs. eventually moved into some disco, old and new. then finished with new sharon jones and the dap-kings album and some latin music.

play list - 04/22/2010 - tjinder singh interview
last week, i was able to record a phone interview with tjinder singh of cornershop. cornershop is one of my favorite bands, so i was pretty excited about the interview. we talked about their new album that was released in the united states this week, about the music industry, about the variety of instruments used in the band, and more. i've posted the interview in 3 parts: part1 part2 part3. i didn't play "the rolloff characteristics" today, but its the only video from the new album that i haven't posted yet, and its a great song, so here it is!
also played from the new dj kicks cd, and from latest ep by pretty lights. pretty lights is in lawrence on sunday.

play list - 04/15/2010 - winston apple
last week, my parents got into town for a visit just a couple hours after my show ended, so i never posted the play list here. i started with euro hit 40 highlights, then local artist winston apple came in to talk about his new double cd of bob dylan covers. we played a few tracks from that. then it wasn't long before it was time for this week's installment of "the big read".

play list - 04/08/2010
today was the start of the "big read". for the next 3 weeks, they are playing 30 minute excerpts of reading from a book. so for those weeks, my show is 1.5 hours instead of 2, which is just fine.
since the transmitter was out during my show last week, i re-played almost the exact same show as last week. i hope the people that listened on the internet stream last week didn't mind. but i decided to change a couple songs, and then of course i didn't play the last half hour because of the big read. i'll save that half hour for next week, when i'll also have local artist winston apple in the studio. and then the week after that, i'm *hoping* i'll have interviewed tjinder singh of cornershop and i'll play that recorded interview. i'm supposed to get the call this monday. keep your fingers crossed for me.
one of the other parts of this show i was excited about besides the mexican stuff was the new single from chromeo!!!

play list - 04/01/2010 - no transmitter
well, on april fools day, our station's transmitter was down during my entire show. i still did the show, just in case it came back up, and because we had people listening on the internet stream. but considering how few people are on the stream compared to listening on radios, i think i'll probably just re-run this show in a couple weeks. so the good news is that soon i'll have a week off from preparing a show :-)
and i was pretty excited about the show too because i just got *three* new cd's of mexican artists and music. 1st was rodrigo y gabriela, who are from mexico city. i'm very excited they are coming to kansas city, kathleen and i already have tickets for great seats. second was mariachi el bronx, a los angeles punk band that just recorded a cd of mariachi music in english. kathleen and i and josh and laleh just saw them perform at the riot room and they were great! and 3rd was a new nortec (norteno-techno) cd from nacional records. here's a live video for the rodrigo y gabriela song i played:
