every week that i go in to do my show, i walk by the bank entrance and say hi to the security guard. today he decided to come up and visit me in the studio during my show, so that was kinda fun. turns out his name is brian and he likes electronic music and smooth jazz. he used to live in berlin and we talked about how popular electronic music is in germany and he said there were so many dance clubs there you couldn't even get to all of them if you tried.
then after the show, a new volunteer came in named jabulani and asked for a tour. so i showed him around and it turns out we both moved here from california in the last few years.
and talked to mike murphy for a while too, so a pretty active day at the studio people-wise. music-wise i did a lot of the same artists and cds as last week. but i did sneak in captain sky's "sir jam a lot" on vinyl.

play list - 07/15/2010
a couple fun things today. 1) euro hit 40, 2) i recently got a cd from norman cook aka fatboy slim where he compiled several tracks that he sampled/remixed for his own songs. besides just being interesting, there are some good tracks on there. the two he used for rockafeller skank are some good old surf songs. so i played the originals followed by his version. plan to do the same next week. he is one of my very favorite electronic artists, so maybe i'll keep up the tribute for a few weeks.

play list - 07/08/2010
continued with the new chemical brothers cd and some ninja tune artists this week. i started the show with the first two tracks on the chemical brothers cd which are 18 minutes combined. so that was about 1/6 of the show :-) one of the ninja tune songs i played was a mr. scruff song that i was surprised to find a couple weeks ago as a sample song on my new computer. turns out his song "kalimba" is included free with windows 7, or at least some versions. here is the video, in classic mr. scruff animation.
also was planning to play the song "dad life". My friend Jack Rambat yesterday sent a link to the video, which was very funny. they had a free download of the mp3, so i put it on my mp3 player, but it failed to play. i guess that's what i get for trying to use my digital voice recorder as my mp3 player.

play list - 07/01/2010
got a couple ninja tune artists in today, two more tracks from the new chemical brothers, and some thievery corporation and other reggae. also pulled out the fantastic plastic machine. found this video for the song i played, "you must learn all night long". not sure if its official or not, but its pretty good either way.
looked for an official video for lovesick. didn't find one but found that it was used in a cadillac commercial. coincidentally, i've heard commercials use songs from both chemical brothers (budweiser - galvanize) and fantastic plastic machine (some car, maybe also cadillac? - theme of luxury)
