play list - 10/30/2008

by request of richard russell, i played "i wish (i was a little bit taller)" from a krafty kuts mix cd that i love. and the song before it on the cd was great, so i played that. and some 80's reggae: shinehead! in college i had that shinehead album on one side of a tape with kool moe dee's "knowledge is king" on the other. i played the heck out of that tape. just finally got the shinehead cd.

i also played the ghandi song by mc yogi, from northern california. here's a video of him performing it at a ghandi camp (ghandi camp?!?!?)

play list - 10/23/2008 - pledge drive

today was my pledge drive show. thanks to everyone who called in with pledges! i didn't get as much as i was hoping for, but it looks like this pledge drive is going slowly and that's been true for many people. i had 5 good electronic cd's to give away for $60 pledges, but only had one taker. he chose Verve Remixed.

played 2 cornershop tracks, because i was offering that cd. not sure if i've ever posted the "brimful of asha" video, but it wouldn't hurt to post it again. this is the fatboy slim remix of it:

There's a pretty funny new video for akai 47 by nortec collective. reminds me of the time i went with my friend sam to see a norteno band at ashkenaz in berkeley and sam asked a woman to dance and she got mad at him for trying to dance too close.

i had a good time covering for the reggae show this weekend. so i figured i would just use a lot of those songs for today's show. so my first hour was all reggae that i played saturday night. i'm really liking toots and the maytals, which to me sounds like a combo of reggae and soul. Here's a video:

i got a great new indian hip-hop cd last week by "mc yogi". most all of his songs revolve around the hindu god ganesh, who is an elephant. so the cd is called "elephant power". its both amusing and good music. one song is called "ganesh is fresh", LOL

also had damon alburn's new project: monkey. some fabric live stuff, and a euro hit 40 that included madonna's new song, "give it 2 me", co-produced by Pharell. I love it! I'd say the video is not one of her better ones, pretty boring by her standards. But here it is:

(whoops, i forgot that blogger was down last week when i was trying to publish. this is a week old now)

started my show today with 30 minutes of tracks that i learned of through EuroHit 40, the radio netherlands countdown show. a few of the tracks are electronic kids songs, including one from the crazy kids show called Lazytown. then there's the holly dolly song. i got two calls from people who loved the holly dolly song, and i had one the last time i played it too, so it may be the most well liked song i've ever played on my show, which is hilarious because its so bizarre. i can't help but like it too. and the video is plenty bizarre as well. the singer is supposed to be a donkey, and who knows what that other creature is who is trying to kill the other creatures, LOL. so here it is:

play list - 09/18/2008 with Browntown

the song i was most excited to play today was 20 dollar by m.i.a., which is basically a cool remix of new order's blue monday. i'd never played it before because it has the word s*** in it twice. but i decided that it was good enough that it was worth doing some live editing. so i just faded it out briefly during the objectionable parts. i was a little nervous about it but all went well. i don't think there is an official video for the song online, but here is an unofficial video that is just a slide show of m.i.a. pictures. i like the one where she's wearing a sonic the hedgehog t-shirt, lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iG4b9GKX9Q

i got a great new cd from the station. the band is called funkadesi and they fuse reggae and Indian music. they're from chicago, so their promo material has a quote/review from barack obama, lol. barack says "funkadesi really knows how to get a crowd going. I can't say enough about how energizing this band is. there's a lot of funk in that desi"

so after that i played some other indian music, and then some more run dmc (king of rock) since that went over well last week. then some ska, neil diamond, and some electronic.

what got me playing run dmc in the first place was this solo single by Run that i recently found at the station. i love donald trump's line at the end of the video:

i had a little contest on today's show to see who could name the song sampled in Rev Run's (Run of RUN DMC) song "mind on the road". i had a few callers correctly identify it as joan jett's "i love rock n roll". they all loved the song, and so did i, so i think i'll play it again next week and some more run dmc. also got to play more of my new favorite cd, chromeo's "fancy footwork". here's the video for the song i played, "you're so gangsta". it's odd, but everything they do seems a little odd:

No time to write much now, Kathleen and I are about to head to a backgammon tournament in madison, wi. 8 hour drive.

i watched a bunch of ali g videos online this week. him talking at harvard graduation is great. sasha baron cohen is so funny. so i decided to play some of his brother's band, zohar, today.

besides those videos, the funniest video i saw this week was sent to me by my friend carol port. its a disco dancing instructional video from finland. the guy is excellent and busts some sweet moves towards the end.

Play list - 08/14/2008 - post SF trip

Just got back from a vacation in San Francisco with Kathleen. I bought about 45 used CD's at Amoeba, the best record store in the world. Most of them were $2 or $3. i'm trying to branch out a little into funk/soul, so i bought some james brown and a cool funk instrumental cd called black feeling. so i started off with that today.

while in SF, i visited andrew, the owner of the satamile and bot record labels. he showed me his sweet home studio and gave me some new stuff to play, so that was fun and put me at about 50 albums to take home. hopefully i'll listen to them all eventually.

i'm also still enjoying latin techno music. here's tijuana sound machine:

kathleen and i went to english beat this past weekend at grinders. it was excellent. they now have a replacement for ranking roger. his name is "anthony first class". he was great! and grinders is a very nice outdoor venue and the weather was perfect. very good time. (oh yeah, fixx and the alarm were there too)

so today i played some english beat, and a swedish band i just learned about and love called hedningarna. and some cartoon music including a hilarious song by spongebob and plankton. there wasn't a "real" video on youtube for it, so maybe it was never in a cartoon. but here is a homemade video where you can at least hear the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfEfM-MnTGc


AND... i played this groove armada song with a hilarious video. for some reason it won't embed, maybe because its possibly Not Safe for Work, depending on your work. but its worth clicking on the link when you have some privacy:

started off with some soca music today, then some electronic... and played some herb alpert and some german stuff. also played what i considered a very hilarious song from 1991 that i just found at the station: L. L. cool J doing disney's "who's afraid of the big bad wolf", LOL. Wow, i even just found a video that makes it even funnier:

but i forgot to play some english beat to highlight their concert here on saturday. they were just here about a year ago, but this time they're touring with the alarm and fixx. i'm sure i'll recognize something by those bands.

When i met angelo moore (of fishbone) at the warped tour last week, he was selling some of his solo cd's and a comic book with an accompanying cd that you play while you read it. i haven't done that yet, but today i played a song from one of the other cd's i bought from him. the song is pretty depressing, about getting screwed over by record companies. the song is called "showtime (famous, but not rich)". not sure if its necessarily autobiographical, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is.

he was playing both the theramin and saxaphone when he performed. here's video of him playing the theramin on the 2006 warped tour, though its too bad you can't hear it better:

I'm in the car working on a laptop with a wireless satellite card so I'll be quick. I recorded an interview with the pinker tones on tuesday and then the concert was yesterday (see pictures in previous post). so too bad i didn't get to air the interview before the concert and maybe attract more people, but at least we got to do it at all.

also, 1st 5 songs were all used in apple computer commercials

Pinker Tones @ Vans Warped Tour

Went to the Vans Warped tour yesterday specifically just to see the Pinker Tones from Barcelona. We got a little bonus though in that Angelo Moore of Fishbone was hanging out backstage. He had performed earlier and then we watched him perform later. Here are our pics!

http://picasaweb.google.com/mister.eb/VansWarpedTour2008/photo#s5218604366194965938

If you watch the Pinker Tones video of Sonida Total (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_nuysoe9kY) you can see that in Europe they play for huge crowds and do a massive stage show. And I've really loved their new album. So it was just blowing my mind that I considered these guys big electronic rock stars that we're lucky are stopping in Kansas City, but then they're performing on the smallest stage at the tour (it wasn't even a stage, they just played on the asphalt under a tent) and there were literally about 5 other people there to see them besides my girlfriend and me. All of the young kids there seemed to be waiting for the next band. But the good news for us is it meant we got to be up close and talk to the guys and take photos with them afterwards. They were very nice. Again, we were fortunate to get a chance to see them, its just too bad that more people from Kansas City didn't show up.

And it was very hot there.

Play list - 06/26/2008

the pinker tones' publicist emailed me at 6:00 pm asking if I still wanted to phone interview them. i said it would either have to be in the next few hours or live. so he opted for live and said they would call me at 11:40 am. i've learned from many other dj's at our station that live call-in interviews with musicians often don't happen. sure enough, 11:40 passed and no call. but then!!!... the publicist called at 11:43 or so and said he could have them in 3 minutes and we could do a 5 minute interview or so. i said sure. no call. so no interview today, but we may try to pre-record one this week. i still might go to see them at the vans warped tour, but i will cheer slightly less loudly :-) j/k

i played one of my favorite modern bollywood songs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIaPv7_PTmE

Today I did several small groupings of pairs of artists from the same country. France, Spain, Japan, Canada, India.

I may be doing a phone interview with the pinker tones sometime next week since they'll be here on the vans warped tour. their manager asked if i was interested, i said yes, but haven't heard back. we'll see.

The air song i played, "sexy boy", is not my favorite of theirs, but its good and the video is pretty funny:

Today I played half an hour of Latin electronic music, then half an hour of Asian-ish electronic, then just electronic, ending with German electronic. I'm still not tired of the Moby CD, or kylie minogue, or the stuff from nacional, so there was some of all that.

I mentioned the moby video on the air for 'i love to move in here'. it has this pretty funny creature and a good ending.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqKJ3Y7isuo

The kylie song i played today was "wow". i appreciate that more than one of her videos have robot-type dancers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnTrZYHK_II&feature=user
Her "in my arms" is a good song and video too.

Also, this past weekend I saw local artist winston apple. he had invited me to his cd release party and was a really nice guy. i played a couple of his covers at 11:00
