play list - 08/27/2009

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.

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

played one song from guitar hero world tour: obstacle 1. other than that, played some latin and some reggae, some fatboy slim and propellerheads.

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.

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.

play list - 05/28/2009 - guest DJ

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.

play list - 05/21/2009

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.

play list - 04/23/2009

no religion interviews scheduled today. still did the big read, so i had just over an hour and a half to play music. i had a few great new releases to play. the new mexican institute of sound cd is excellent, so i started with that. then the new cd from midival punditz, and eventually the new royksopp. happy up here is a great song, even if it is very similar their song eple, which i also love. here is the video for happy up here:

play list - 04/16/2009 - Islam

today's religion interview was islam with Rauf Mir. we talked about the koran, the five pillars of islam, islamic law, and even Greg Mortenson and his book "three cups of tea". he brought in several songs, but i didn't get the song names for this list. since islam is most prevalent in northern africa and the middle east (thank you wikipedia!) i started the show by playing music from that region. we were going to finish with some Cat Stevens (aka Yusaf Islam after he converted to islam), but that track on the cd didn't work. so here's a video of my favorite Cat Stevens songs from one of my favorite movies, rushmore:

play list - 04/09/2009 - Sufism

this week's world faith interview was on sufism with allaudin "dean" ottinger. he leads a sufi center in kc and also happens to be a member of the local band, bcr. so he had a couple friends join him and they played a few live songs using guitar, clarinet, and hand drums. we also played several tracks from cd that dean brought in.

today was also the start of "the big read", where half-hour of my program was used to play a part of a reading of a book. so i only played half hour of my own music today. the big read lasts 3 weeks, and i am continuing the interviews, so looks like i'll play only half hour of my own music for next couple weeks too. but i'm not complaining, i'm enjoying the interviews quite a bit.

was happy to acquire the ulrich schnauss remix of "breathe me", so i started with that. here's a video for the remix, i don't think it is official, but looks pretty good

play list 04/02/2009 - Baha'i

Two fun events today. First, I was able to give away tickets to an upcoming concert for Nacional Records artists Aterciopelados, from Columbia. Then in the second hour I interviewed Barb McAtte, the representative of the Baha'i faith on the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council. We played several songs that she brought in.

Since the monks are still in town, I opened the show talking a bit about them and about the Beastie Boys support for Tibet. Here's a video from their Tibetan Freedom Concerts with some sweet break dancing clips:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJjuwutaCxQ

play list - 03/26/2009 - Tibetan Monks Visit from India

Really fun show today. As the second installment of my religions of the world series, I was very fortunate to have on my show today the Tibetan monks visiting Kansas City from the Drepung Gomang monastery in India. They are here for about 3 weeks, doing various events around town, hosted by the Rime Buddhist Center. They had a translator with them who spoke very good English. We talked for an hour about their visit, about Buddhism, and about the oppression of the Tibetan people by the Chinese government. These monks, like many Tibetans, fled Tibet and are living as refugees in India. The monks also performed two chants that sounded excellent.

So as a lead up to the interview I played all Indian music.

play list 03/05/2009 - American Indian Spirituality

today was the first of a series of shows i'm doing where i'm inviting different representatives from the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council on to talk about their religion. i'm also hoping to fit music in whenever possible. so today was a good start, i had kara hawkins and stumbling deer on to talk about american indian spirituality. they also are musicians so they performed two improvisational songs using flute, rattle, drum, and vocals. i thought it went really well, i hope all the shows go this well. not sure who i'm having on next week, if anyone, but in three weeks i will have some tibetan buddhist monks on to chant and the week after that the representative of the bahai faith.

started the show off playing the two oscar nominated songs from slumdog millionaire, and some more electronic jazz, including mr. scruff. i didn't play this particular mr. scruff song, but its one of my favorites and i have played it many times:

play list - 02/19/2009

some station engineers had to do some maintenance work on the transmitter during my show today, so i was only on-air until about 11:15. but we were still streaming on the internet and we never know for sure when we'll be back on-air, so we just keep the show rolling. i may replay some of the off-air songs next week, i hope the web listeners don't mind a few repeats.

mainly i was playing jazz remixes the second hour because i just got a promo for a cd of nat king cole remixes. but i also got some electronic dance and reggae and soca and african in too. soca in honor of upcoming carnaval! played a maximus dan song that i didn't find a good video of, but here is a different one, about soccer even!:

play list - 02/12/2009

i didn't realize that today was lincoln's AND darwin's birthday until "blind guy" called in to let me know. so i learned that, and also i was playing some canadian artists (feist and lhasa and fusion body) and didn't realize that chromeo was canadian until i saw on the feist cd that chromeo remixed one of her tracks, then looked it up and they are from montreal. so i learned a lot today. i played the chromeo remix and so i got in a total of 4 canadian artists. also some ska and reggae and some funk and disco.

for disco, i didn't play this particular song from saturday night fever, but maybe i should have. this is maybe the best movie dance scene ever?!?!?

play list - 02/05/2009 - mini fund drive

We had a mini fund drive this week. so i helped pitch through the news shows from 8:30 to 10:00 and then two more hours for my show. i had others sitting in with me much of the time so that makes it more enjoyable. its still a bit stressful and i was getting discouraged about half way through. but some good donations came in later and my show ended up raising a decent amount, so i wasn't totally depressed at the end.

i got in some good electronic stuff, a few funk tracks, and a couple more soca. for the funk, i played a song from ocean's 12 called "l.s.d. partie". i didn't realize until looking on youtube just now that the song was actually from 1969. it was apparently used in the soundtrack for a french movie from around then that looks pretty interesting

play list - 01/29/2009

played a few from nickodemus's CD "endangered species" today, and a couple reggae and soca tunes, and more from a.r. rahman. also did a few jazzy songs, including jamiroquai's "virtual insanity". i never really thought of that as jazz but wikipedia described it as acid jazz, and it was on a cd i have called "nu jazz cool", so whatever. I always liked it, and the video is a TRIP!:

play list - 1/15/2009 - first show in new studio

the kkfi studio is moved! i spent a good part of the weekend there with some others, moving computers, getting the network working, building racks for equipment.... long process but it was a lot of fun to be there for the switchover and the first broadcast from the new location on sunday.

so this was my first show there. the mic levels may still be a little low, and the audio computer touch screen is flaky, and a few other small things, but basically all went well.

i decided the first song i wanted to play was talisman by air, one of my favorite electronic songs ever. then i played some songs from the movie slumdog millionaire. just saw the movie and it was excellent! and soundtrack by a.r. rahman is very good too. here's the opening song, featuring m.i.a., with a fake video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqk5Vf8KAfE


after that, played some african music, some flight of the conchords since season 2 starts sunday, and then some house and electronic

crazy day yesterday with the station since we're moving this weekend. i was at the old location from 8:30 to noon for they syndicated shows + my show. then i got a sandwich and went to a 1 o clock meeting until a little after 2. then i went to the new station location so that i could train people on the new audio board at 3. i thought our audio computer system would be moved by then, but it wasn't. i then discovered that the project manager thought i was the one who was moving it, lol. so after the training ended at 4:30, i went back to the new location and broke down (with help) the 3 computers needed, then unloaded them at the new location. got some dinner at 6:30, then went back and set up the 3 computers (with help) and the rack to hold them. finished at 9:30 and then went to watch some djs at a nearby bar for an hour. whew.

i played some reggae on the show, several artits on the ninjatune label, and some electronic. Also this latin alternative song:

last week my show was on christmas day, so I was gone and had someone cover for me. this week the show fell on new year's day. since my brother and niece were home, they came with me and played a few songs. matt picked some zappa and others, miranda went for jonas brothers and coldplay again. i threw in some indian and african funk that i got for christmas. and since i was playing the jonas brothers, i figured i might as well pull out the hanson mmmbop too. too bad the video can't be embedded. i also played from a favorite i got last year: vhs or beta. great song, strange video:

whoops! i see that i never posted my play list for Thanksgiving. i guess i was distracted by making a turkey when i got home. it was a fun show because i had my brother and my niece on with me and i had them each pick music. matt picked 8 songs that had to do with using the voice as an instrument - throat singing, yodeling, singing in gibberish... and miranda picked coldplay and the jonas brothers and m.i.a.. i also played some other music that we all like. and started the show with some native american music.

i played some vampire weekend recommended to me by my friend greg in san jose. here's the video:
