Playlist - 05/31/2007

My highlight today was playing a track from the Jane Fonda Workout Record. I just got it and thought it was hilarious and the first song is the Jackons - Can You Feel It. Great song plus funny over-dub of Jane Fonda, I couldn't resist. I was afraid it might irritate people and I'd get complaints, but I think everyone else thought it was funny too. Just now i was searching the internet for an image of the album cover, and found this picture, which is actually a scrapbook that someone made from the album cover, LOL. Nice. And thanks to nilufar for letting me know about jane fonda's recent award:

"The 60th Cannes film festival, which wrapped up Sunday, awarded a Palme d'Or for lifetime achievement to veteran US actress and activist Jane Fonda over the weekend. The exceptional Golden Palm prize, awarded by festival chief Gilles Jacob, had only been awarded three times before since 1946, to French directors Alain Resnais and Gerard Oury and the French actress Jeanne Moreau."

I decided that after playing the Jacksons, some more 70's R&B would be good.

Playlist - 05/24/2007 - JFK + Nature Sounds

Whoops, I can't believe I forgot for four days to put in my play list. I played some JFK speeches in honor of his birthday coming up this week. I didn't know what year he was born, but Bruno called to tell me JFK was born in 1917, died in 1963 at 46 years old. So he would've been 90 this week.

I also found a nature sounds CD this week, so I had a funny idea (I thought) to mix nature sounds in during the speeches. So it would be like JFK was talking in a forest by a stream, or like you were listening to the speeches in the forest by a stream. I got one email saying it was very annoying, LOL. Sorry.

The English Beat show was great! It's so fun to go to a concert where you know the band's every single song. That doesn't happen for me too often. And they're all great songs. And Dave Wakeling is very cool, I got to say hi to him after the show, which I also don't normally do. So it was a great time!

Today I played some electronic favorites and half of a EuroHit 40. I would've liked to play this funny fake-German song by the Tygorz that my brother sent me a link to, but it seems not quite FCC acceptable. Although he heard it on the radio which made us wonder why they think they can play it and I think we can't. The definition of obscene material is open to the FCC's interpretation, so I guess its just up to each DJ/station to decide how risky they think certain material is. I really didn't need to play it that bad, so definitely not worth the risk for me.

Oh yes, also check out Moby's Body Rock video!

Playlist - 05/10/2007 - Dave Wakeling

Today was one of my favorite shows I've done, and the "Space Show" was one too, so its been a good few weeks. The highlight today was being able to air an interview with Dave Wakeling, lead singer of one of my favorite all-time bands, The English Beat. I've uploaded it as an MP3, so listen to it here!. Dave was a great guy and I really enjoyed talking to him. I can't wait to see English Beat perform at Harrah's tomorrow!

Then I played several English Beat songs and other ska songs. And....I played the song timber, which is a great song, but an even greater video:

Did I mention I've been spending a lot of time on YouTube lately :-)

Big news in the station this week is that we have a new general manager, Richard Pirodsky. He's from New York, and has got lots of radio experience. Since I've been at the station (2+ years), this is our second manager and we've had 3 interim mangers. Hopefully he'll hold the spot for a while.

Today had an 80's theme to it for two reasons.
1) I found vinyl versions this weekend of Herbie Hancock's "Future Shock" with Rockit (check out this article) , and Bob and Doug McKenzie's "Take off".
2) The English Beat is coming to town! I gave away some tickets today and I'll have more next week. I may try to do an interview too, we'll see.

Today was a lot of fun. i got lots of calls and got to play from the new euro hit 40 program CD! (even though it skipped and i had to start it over). On the euro hit 40 CD was this hilarious fun German song called Papa Pinguin by pigolo. The dj on the show talks about dancing penguins, so i looked it up on youtube, and i found the video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKG08z85DtY

i was all excited that i'd found this new german music and i showed the video to my 7 year old niece and she said "oh yeah, those are the penguins that sing YMCA in french". sure enough, there is another video, same artist, with a song to the tune of YMCA, but its "I love to ski", in French. so i guess i should be taking music suggestions from my niece from now on, LOL.

Playlist - 03/29/2007 - Spring fund drive

This week is the fund drive. $500 was raised during my show. that's only half of what we got during my show in the fall, so that was disappointing. Seems to be that way for everyone this time, the drive as a whole is way behind last drive. Bummer. I've also been going in to answer phones and pitch with people on their shows. that part is kinda fun, but i'll still be glad when its all over. hopefully we'll at least make enough to last until next drive!

The best part was getting a pledge from a military person, Matt, stationed in Kuwait. Awesome to know someone there is listening! And also from a nice woman in Alabama, who called in to say hi too. And from Kathleen, Patricia, Dave, Mary, Rodena, and more. thanks everyone!

Thanks to everyone who called in: Walter, Ray, Pat, Howard, Jim, others... I felt a little crazy playing Madonna on my show, since she's so main stream. Thought there might be some backlash. But I got no hate calls, so that's good :-) I really think Ray of Light and Hollywood and Music all have good electronic dance songs on them. No surprise since the producers are great electronic artists.

Good video too. The quality here isn't great, but good enough to see that Madonna is hot :-) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZkQwIhcgqw

Last week was the band auction. It went more smoothly than I was worried it would. I had 4 bands in: The New Alligators, Kevin Hiatt, OK Jones, and Applebutta. All were very cool. Kevin played his 12-string guitar live in the studio.

Then in two weeks is the fund drive. So two weeks of music in between fund raising events. St. Patrick's Day is Friday. My tribute to that was also the weekly cover song: Luck of the Irish.

Today felt really chaotic because I thought I was going to be giving away Steel Pulse tickets, but they weren't in my mail slot when I got there. So I was holding off on playing the Steel Pulse giveaway song, waiting to hear what the deal was, and then one of my CD's didn't work, and then I accidentally stopped a song and had to restart it....I'm blaming being sick for the bad days this week and last. But finally I got the info on the tickets halfway through and was able to give them away. Congratulations Mary!

I got a kick out of pulling out my old "Dr. Detroit" album on vinyl today. Devo, James Brown, Dan Akroyd, Fran Drescher as a sexy high-class call girl...this movie had it all! I just found the video on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5aEBT3l3qg

the low point of the show was saying that the "what's happening" theme song was the "good times" theme song. :-( I didn't have it written down right, but Mike Murphy and a caller set me straight. Thanks!

Or maybe the low point was not being able to get the record player to work the first time i tried it, even after i thought i'd tested it. That's two too many low points :-( I hope everyone still enjoyed the show.

Playlist - 01/11/2007

On today's show, I played my first record on-air (madness: one step beyond). interesting differences from cd. I thought at first that i'd have to attempt to get the needle between songs while on air, but instead, to "pause" before the right track, i just had to play the record to the right part while off-air, then stop the turntable, then start it when i was ready to play the song. luckily there was enough of a gap between tracks to let the turntable get up to speed, but it was a direct drive, so i guess those get up to speed very fast. is this how they did it before cd's? Or did they always play 45's?

Play list - 01/04/2007

I was in Colorado last week, so Mark Manning covered for me. Thanks Mark! You can find Mark's play lists on his MySpace site: http://www.myspace.com/wednesdaymiddaymedley

The station has been looking better every time I go in. First Deb had the whole place painted inside, then she got new furniture for the "green room". Very cool to see the improvements.

Thanks to Mel for calling in today to correct me on my pronunciation of tabla (should be like tah-vblah). My favorite "track" of the day was probably the 17-ish short tracks that make up "fingertips" by They Might Be Giants. Hope everyone liked it. But Apache was a close 2nd.
