play list 11/27/2008 - Thanksgiving

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:

play list - 11/20/2008 - classic rock covers and remixes

today i played a full two hours of classic rock covers and remixes. most of them were covers or remixes of the beatles, rolling stones, or the doors. but there were a few others in there too. including senor coconuts cha cha cha version of deep purple's "smoke on the water". here's a live video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puc0ZiVRESU


a few that were not straight covers or remixes: shinehead's "unity" just used pieces of the beatles "come together"; "rapture riders" was a mash up of "riders on the storm" and blondie's "rapture"; and "stairway to gilligan's island" was a mashup of..."stairway to heaven" and "gilligan's island"

today's show was fun, i got several calls. started out with some rock, mostly from the UK. then some latin music, and some covers, including more of the hilarious senor coconut.

the song i can't get out of my head from today's show is "that's not my name" by the ting tings. bummer, you can't embed the video, but here's a link to it:

in honor of Obama's exciting victory, i played a song by funkadesi, from chicago. their promo material has a quote from Obama saying "i can't say enough how energizing this band is", and here's a video of him at one of their concerts:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll-tIbyRL6Q

Maybe we'll see funkadesi at the inauguration party???

other recently acquired music i was excited to play today was from my new shinehead cd and from senor coconuts "around the world". he does a great latin cover of that song from daft punk.

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:

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.

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

play list 09/11/2008

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:

and of course, the king of rock video is a classic:

play list 09/04/2008

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:

while i was at the station, our garage door broke at home, so i had to come home and spend $150 to have it fixed. that was great.

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:

Play list - 07/24/2008

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:
