Play list - 02/28/2008

Not going to write much today because I'm just on momentarily from a motel in the middle of Iowa with my girlfriend. We got stuck on the way driving to Chicago, roads were too icy. Played more digitalism and mr. pacman today. And some latin alternative and remix stuff.

I had lots of good new (to me) music to play today. I just got Digitalism last night and it sounds excellent. I got this electro-belly dance CD called Bodyshock while I was on vacation in Puerto Rico, and its great. But maybe my favorite today was Mr. Pacman, a bitpop band from Denver. Thats BITpop as in 8-bit Nintendo-style music. Here's a video:


I started off with a German set: polka, Kratwerk, and Digitalism. That was fun.

Play list - 02/07/2008 - Post- Kid koala concert

dj shadow, cut chemist, and kid koala show was really good. my girlfriend and i had more fun watching kid koala, who was the opener, then the other guys. they were good too and played a good mix of music, but kid koala was such an excellent scratcher, and he was energetic and funny. and the cameras were on his hands the whole time so it was great to get close ups of what he was doing. he stole the show! (imho)

so i started off with a new track of his. and then i played several songs that the other two played in their set. they played a mashup from the 70's called "stairway to gilligan's island". maybe i'll get that and play it in two weeks. but this coming week i'll be in puerto rico!!!

i also played some funk today. this stormtrooper dancing video is the reason i played let's groove:

Play list - 01/31/2008 - Pre- Kid Koala concert

I gave away another 4 pairs of tickets today to the dj shadow, cut chemist, kid koala concert on Tuesday. I think I had more callers for this ticket giveaway than any other time I've given tickets away. Maybe it means more people are listening to my show than in the past, or maybe it just means its going to be a cool concert! :-) I'll hand out some show fliers while I'm there, maybe meet some of the people I gave tickets too. Hope to see you there!

Video of the week would be Timber (a great video) if I hadn't already posted it in the past. But I'm glad that forced me to find this video for the Go! Team song I played today. Apparently its used in a playstation 3 game called little big earth that i'm not familiar with:

I gave away 4 pairs of tickets today to cut chemist, dj shadow, and kid koala at voodoo lounge. so i played some cut chemist and kid koala. also discovered that "where's your head at?" sampled gary numan's "m.e.", so i played those back to back.

I'm hoping that in a few weeks Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords will be on my show!

Funniest video I've seen in a while is this one, Though I certainly to not support racist nazis:

Play list - 01/17/2008 - MLK Tribute

This coming Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. day. Rather than play excerpts of his speeches (which I considered), I decided that for the first hour of today's show I would play music that I thought the Reverend would approve of. Songs about racism, about standing up for your rights, about love and unity. Including this classic song with a classic video.....Fight the Power. What a great video. Flavor Flav and Chuck D are awesome, and so are their soldier backup dancers, and all the high-top fade haircuts in the crowd.



I also extended my streak of playing songs from Guitar Hero III to three weeks. This week's: anarchy in the u.k.

One of the things we got for Christmas at our house is Guitar Hero III. Last week I played a song from it: Paint it Black. This week I played another: Metallica's One. But the version I played of One was by Rodrigo y Gabriela. And I also played a lullaby version of Enter Sandman.

I got a call from a listener (Tom) who says that he has a box load of records, tapes, and CD's from India that he's going to donate to the station for me. Yes! I hate tapes though. I got rid of all mine 3 years ago. But as my grandpa used to say ALL the time, "Beggars can't be choosers".

Thanks to Pat for reminding me to post this video of The Dolly Song by Holly Dolly, from the EuroHit40 I played today. I love this song, and I love dancing donkeys with umbrellas.

I was in Denver for Christmas. While I was there, my brother introduced me to Chocolate Rain. Its a homemade song and video from early 2007. The song is catchy and bizarre. Here's the video:


A great part of it is the parodies. The best being Chad Vader's version:


And there's also a great 8-bit (Nintendo music) version:


I also played some music from Andy Kaufman, via the Man on the Moon soundtrack

A few more Christmas songs this week. Lots of people liked Cheech & Chong's "Santa Claus and his Old Lady". There is a YouTube video for it, which is actually the same audio track I played, but it just has a Cheech and Chong slide show for the video:


Other than that, I played some bollywood, some music from china, some electronic, etc. Merry Christmas to everyone!

The best part of the shows in December is being able to play from my El Vez "sno-way Jose" Christmas CD. El Vez is a genius. Here's the non-Christmas version of "En El Barrio"

The Christmas version seamlessly mixes in Silent Night *AND* Champagne Supernova by Oasis. Seriously. Genius.

I also did my first (I think?) live editing out of illegal language today. It was during "The message" by grandmaster flash and the furious five. I had to mute it for a few seconds to edit out "pissing" and "fag-hag", which might not have been violations anyway, but I figured it wasn't worth taking a chance.

Play list - 12/06/2007 - After Youth Peace Empowerment

This past Saturday I DJ'ed at the Youth Peace Empowerment event. The bad news is that there was hardly anyone there. But the good news is that we still had a good time. My girlfriend and my brother and his girlfriend were there dancing, and some other people. And DJ Skratch E from KKFI's Wednesday night electronic show was there to DJ right after me. And we had some cool MC's who occasionally rocked the mic while the music was playing. it was fun to hear them freestyling to daft punk.

My favorite song of the night was probably Jogi by Panjabi MC. I don't know why I have not been playing this song on the air before!! I guess because its foreign hip-hop, which makes me a little afraid of bad lyrics. But today I decided it should be fine. Here's the awesome video:


So starting at 11:00 a.m. of today's show I played an hour's worth of the set I played Saturday and tried not to get on the mic too much. Had a good time.

Play list - 11/29/2007

So my brother sent me a link to this Daft Punk home music video for Harder Better Faster Stronger. Its very cool.
Daft Bodies - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger


It turns out there are a LOT of home videos for this song. Someone does the same thing as the bodies one above, except just using their hands. I'm not sure which video came first. Then there's the dancing girl below, and then there is an accapella version. And then Kanye West sampled it for his Stronger song. Seems this song has been the source of much creativity. Daft Punk rocks! And this is an old album, I'm surprised I haven't heard more about their more recent Human After All album because it is excellent.



One funny thing that happened today was that I played a "modern disco" set that caused some negative feedback. I think it was specifically the song "From Disco To Disco" that people hated. One person called in and said "I don't know what you call this but it ain't music", then hung up. and the station manager said the sound in the song sounded like someone choking a duck, LOL. It does actually sound something like that, its very cool.

Play list - 11/22/2007 - Thanksgiving

Wow, its quite a bit different doing a show on a holiday. there's nobody at the studio except me, and not many people on the streets outside. when nobody is calling, it makes you wonder if anyone is really listening. makes me sympathize with the programmers who have late night / overnight shows. but eventually some people called in to say happy thanksgiving, so that was nice. happy thanksgiving to everyone!

I played Rock It today. Here's a cool live video. Not the original Grandmaster DST on the turntable, but the replacement scratcher is great.

Play list - 11/15/2007 - Journey With Barbara Jordan

Kathleen and I went to the play "Journey with Barbara Jordan" on Saturday. It was a very good story, she was an impressive woman. So I asked the star/co-writer of the play if she wanted to do an interview, and she did. And the director was part of the interview too. We did it over the phone last night and recorded it and it turned out well. It was a bummer that there were only about 20 people at the show when we saw it, so hopefully the interview will help get some more people to see it. That's why I played Shirley Temple today, because Barbara Jordan loved her.

Besides that, I played the song from Rushmore that's in the second half of this clip:

A fun part of today was playing a song by a reggae band from Santa Barbara that my friend Greg Brower and I used to listen to back when we went to UCSB. They were called Crucial DBC. Check 'em out on MySpace.

Play list is below, but on a completely unrelated note, a friend of mine from Oxnard, CA built this sweet model and diorama:

play list - 11/01/2007

Last night was Halloween. We usually go trick-or-treating with my niece. But this year we just set up a "haunted house". My brother had a voice processor that made his voice sound like a monster, so he set up his speaker outside and scared kids while I walked around the hard in a gorilla costume :-) Pretty fun time.

I also spent a fair amount of time on facebook this week, particularly on the iLike music application. I just joined. I'll probably tire of it soon, but its fun now.

No particular theme today. Here's the video for Manu Chao's Mr. bobby. I'd love to play more of his music, but many songs are in Spanish and I'm not confident that there wouldn't be bad language. bummer.

Play list - 10/18/2007 - Dalai Lama + Branson

Two themes for today's show.

First, yesterday the dalai lama received the congressional gold medal. i didn't find any audio posted last night of the speech he gave, so i played part of an old speech of his from central park, NY, in 1999. I didn't find a great video of his acceptance speech either, but here is an interesting clip from Australia about his policy on China.


The other theme was my trip to Branson, MO this weekend. Branson is all about shows, kinda like Las Vegas without the gambling. The majority of shows are country/western themed, and I was skeptical of finding any good shows. But we saw four GREAT shows:
-- Liverpool Legends (tribute to The Beatles)
-- Mark Twain tribute breakfast show
-- New Shanghai Circus (Chinese acrobats)
-- Jackson Cash (tribute to Johnny Cash)
Liverpool Legends and Jackson Cash were such good tribute groups! They looked and sounded very like the originals. Of course they're NOT the originals, but they were good enough that it was a blast to see them. I recommend all of those shows. Here's a video of the Liverpool Legends:

... and Jackson Cash:

Play list - 10/11/2007

For starters, I did not end up seeing Peelander-Z last week :-( I ended up with a bad headache by late afternoon and the show was in Lawrence, 45 minutes away. I think I was asleep before the concert would have event started, LOL

Today I got to play 2 human beatbox songs, that was fun. And I played some old Van Halen in honor of the fact that they are coming to town. And some Abba in honor of the fact that Mamma Mia is in town (and I saw it and it was good!). Madonna's "Hung up" samples "gimme gimme gimme" so i played both of those. here's the video fo the week: madonna's "hung up"! This sweet video also has "crumper" Miss Prissy as featured in the move Rize!

Good day today! No mistakes, and I got several calls. I even got a caller who told me that I did a great job covering for a show on Sunday and it made him listen to mine and tell some friends! AND I got a week-after pledge from my friend Rich in Oxnard, CA!

Tomorrow night I'm going to see these guys in concert in Lawrence, Peelander-Z:

Play list - 09/27/2007 - Fall Fund Drive

Whew! My fund drive show is over! I was stressing about it, couldn't get to sleep, woke up early, now I'm exhausted. But it went well! Thanks so much to all my friends and everyone else who called in to donate! I think the station as a whole isn't doing great, which is a bummer. but for now, i'm just glad mine is done!

I couldn't find a video to go with today's songs, so I'm going to embed a video I made about Instant Runoff Voting. Not quite as exciting, but important:

Play list - 09/20/2007

My worst...show...ever. Not necessarily the music that was played, but at least from the chaos and technical perspective. One of the mics is not working, which is a pretty big deal since we only have 3 and many shows have more than one guest. And particularly because our pledge drive starts tomorrow and we often have multiple people pitching at a time. So they really wanted to get the mic fixed today, and the electrician just happened to show up right before my show started. So this was the 2nd time I did my show while the electrician was working on the mixing board at the same time, opening and closing the door while I'm on the mic, and even trying to mouth something to me while I'm on the mic, LOL! And I'm having to do tests of the broken mic while on air, so that when it doesn't work (which it didn't) there is just dead air. So lots of dead air today while testing the dead mic. Hopefully we'll get the backup studio working so that we don't have to be working on things while on the air.

Okay, enough whining. here's the video of the day. Its a great one!

Play list - 09/13/2007

i learned how to do something new at the station today. i changed some of the bulbs on the mixing board for the lights that tell you what inputs are active. it definitely helps when the lights are working for that! Of course, in the proecss, i left one CD player in the "off" mode, so when i tried to use it, nothing happened. and i also didn't turn down the turntable volume after the song i played off of a record so the next song on the record accidentally started up. so a couple small mistakes today.

Playlist - 09/06/2007

Today was essentially my one year anniversary show! (just a day less). Thanks to Kathleen for pointing that out :-) I thought I played a pretty good show in honor of that. Hardly any phone calls though :-(

I started off with some hip-hop today. Inexplicably, when I was announcing Jurassic 5 I said "Jurassic Park", LOL.

Then I played some more Flight of the Conchords:

Play list - 08/23/2007 - Amoeba music

The ethnic festival was great last weekend! I ate:
-- curry puffs from Malaysia
-- tofu rice pocket, rice ball, and edamame from Japan
-- shave ice from hawaii
-- hummus from israel
-- banana sticky rice from thailand
and we handed out lots of flyers about the station's world music

i was very excited for two things today.
1) Got to play flight of the conchords. Please watch the hilarious video of the song i'd really like to play, but don't think will be appropriate:

2) Got to play a lot of my music from my trip to amoeba music in hollywood 2 weeks ago

we also started using special software at the station to log playlists. so now my playlists will be exported from there. not super pretty but more info. here it is!

Play list - 08/16/2007 - Ethnic Festival

The Ethnic Festival is this weekend, so i got to do an interview with a couple of the organizers. I'm also going to sit at the KKFI table there all Sunday afternoon.

Besides the interview, I was excited to play the first two tracks from the new Chemical Brothers CD. They're pretty sweet. But they made a guy call in who said they were "nerve wracking" and that he wanted me to play something "pretty", LOL.

In the meantime, looking for old Cassus Clay videos, I found this sweet cartoon starring Muhammad Ali. From the days he was marketing himself everywhere and every way, I guess.

it was another day of sending out bad song information, lol. for my cover song, i picked the aquamarines doing apache. i thought the original was by incredible bongo band in 1972 or so, but they weren't the first to do it either. bill at the station came in and said he thought it was jorgen ingmann in the late 60's. someone else called in and said they remembered jorgen ingmann's version. so i announced that i was wrong and that it was jorgen ingmann's song. of course, that was wrong too. bill looked it up, and it was originally by the shadows in 1960. aaaargh. but as my friend dickie said, at least it shows that people are listening and paying attention :-) Check out all these versions of Apache and read more about it

And here's an album cover of the original artists:

Play list - 07/19/2007

Last weekend I DJ'ed outside in Westport with Bill O Connor, the Thursday Morning Buzz DJ. He does it weekly with another guy who has equipment, but that person was busy, so I brought my equipment. It was fun, I played some funk, some Motown kind of stuff, and some electronic. The bad part is that the hours were 11 pm to 2 am. So I didn't get to bed until almost 3:00 which is WAY late for me (I'm such a wimp). And I still wake up at 9:00. I was still wiped out on Monday, took me 3 days to recover, LOL. But it was fun.

A couple of CD skips this week, that was a bummer. But otherwise good show.

Wow, what a crazy time in the studio today. An electrician volunteered to fix a grounding problem with the turntable. We told him that between 8am to 10am was good working time because we run long syndicated shows without interruption. So he started at 9:00. Around 9:40 we started saying "Okay, only 20 more minutes until we have to go on air." But we weren't done, so he just kept working. And Richard (our manager) and Mike were helping him too, and I moved all the chairs out to make space, so I did almost the whole show standing up with 2-3 other people walking in and out of the studio around me. And the whole show the mixing board had its lid off and the electrician was removing wires and probing connections, LOL. At one point he asked if he could just short something real quick as a test, which would make the music cut out momentarily. I told him I didn't think that was a good idea.

After all that I was pretty amazed that I only made one mistake, and ironically it was after he'd already left. I started playing the wrong track on a CD, and I wasn't sure if the track was clean, so I had to fade it out after about a minute and then just go to the one I wanted. Not too bad though.

another funny thing that happened is mike told me at 11:35 that i could give two concert tickets away. it seemed a little late in the show since i hadn't mentioned it at all, but i announced it, a woman called in right away, and she was there to get them before the show ended at 12:00. start to end, quickest ticket giveaway ever (for me).

I spent several hours over the past could weeks trying to fix two of our broken CD players at the station. I was able to get one of the two fixed by replacing some broken parts in it with parts from the other one. So I brought that one back in today and it worked for the whole show, so that was good news!

I played some Bollywood music today and saw a Bollywood movie this weekend. It was called "kuch kuch hota hai" (i think) and was very funny. It can be checked out at the Plaza library, I highly recommend it if you like Bollywood music.

Last night we had a station meeting about relocating our tower and transmission equipment. We're considering a location that would be a HUGE improvement over our current one. Our equipment would be in a room in a building instead of in a beat-up trailer on a vacant lot. So that would be great, but also scary, because it would take a lot more money in rent, but would also have many money-saving advantages, like less maintenance. So lots of exciting stuff happening at the station right now.
