Something for the Radio
Some of my pals post the playlists from their radio shows on their blogs. I never thought I would wind up doing that, not because it's not a cool idea (it is), but because I never really do radio shows anymore. But tonight I filled in at the last minute....I think it was my first show in maybe 6 months?!? Anyway, here goes a rare radio playlist from me:
WXYC 89.3 FM
Wednesday, April 14th, 10pm - 12mid.
Trans Am - "Uninvited Guest" from Liberation (THRILL JOCKEY)
Magical Power Mako - Track # 12 from Cozmo Grosso (NOVEL SOUNDS)
N.E.R.D. - "She Wants To Move (DFA remix)" from 12" single (EMI/VIRGIN)
Hieroglyphics - "Love Flowin'" from "Make your Move" 12-inch (HIERO IMPERIUM)
Murs - "Freak These Tales" from Murs 3:16 - the 9th Edition (DEF JUX)
------ talk set ------
Anderson Moss & Group - "Zydeco Pas Sale" from V.A - Deep River of Song: Lousiana (ROUNDER)
Billy Childish & The Blackhands - "Chatham Jack" from The Original Chatham Jack (SUB-POP)
Arthur Russell - "The Platform on the Ocean" - from Calling Out of Context (AUDIKA)
Fennesz (feat. David Sylvian) - "Transit" from Venice (TOUCH)
Manitoba - "I've Lived On A Dirt Road All My Life" from Up In Flames (DOMINO)
Mikronytes - "Xeh" from live_src (CRANK AUTOMOTIVE) (by request!)
------ talk set ------
Otilio Portal - "A Romper El Coco" from V/A - Las Fabulosas Orquestas Cubanas De Los Anos 50 (ARTEX)
Ray Barretto - "Together" from V/A - Nu Yorica Roots! (SOUL JAZZ)
EPMD - "So What Cha Sayin'" from Unfinished Business (PRIORITY)
The Lafayette Afro Rock Band - "Darkest Light" from Malik (HI & FLY)
15.60.75 - "About The Eye Game" from Jimmy Bell's Still in Town (HEARTHAN/MORPHIUS)
Dead Moon - "Dawning of the Dead" from Dead Ahead (TOMBSTONE)
------ talk set ------
Battery Operated & Made - "Idrolyse Crac" from Aprotic (COCOSOLIDCITI)
Girl Talk - "Keeping The Beat" from Unstoppable (ILLEGAL ART)
Kenny Dope feat. Screechy Dan - "Boomin' In Ya Jeep" from V/A - Nice Up The Dance (SOUL JAZZ)
UK Apachie/Shy FX - "Original Nuttah" from V/A - Jungle Vibes (SSR)
Sixtoo - "Storm Clouds and Silver Linings" from "Boxcutter Emporium" 12-inch (NINJA TUNE)
Tortoise - "Five Too Many" from It's All Around You (THRILL JOCKEY)
Hot Butter - "Popcorn" from V/A - Super Hits of the 70s, Vol. 9 (RHINO)
------ talk set ------
Sufjan Stevens - "We Won't Need Legs to Stand" from Seven Swans (SOUNDS FAMILYRE)
Loren Connors, Neel Murgai, Andrew Burnes - "excerpt from Thomas Paine ("Where Are Your Bones?")" from V/A - No W... Now! (PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE) [this one's an anti-Bush comp so I'm giving it a hyperlink!]
Out of the new stuff I encountered, I was most amped by 15.60.75 (completely caught off guard by this one...an awesome Kent, OH band from 1975!), the always top-notch Fennesz, Girl Talk (which I've got on order for a mere 9 bucks from the fine folks at Illegal Art), and the late 80s Arthur Russell comp (which sounds like it'll make a nice complement to the excellent Soul Jazz reissue of earlier disco-y productions). The Magical Power Mako was pretty cool too. Last week I picked up the hot Murs/9th Wonder album...very solid. It's a little funny to see Durham's 9th Wonder riding the Kanye/Just Blaze "helium soul" production tip right after producing a Jay-Z track, but it all sounds great so props to a local guy who's really starting to make it big!
During-show transcription is kind of a pain....so by the time I do my next radio show, WXYC playlists will be live and direct on the WWW....I guarantee it.

Yo!
It's an honor to be the first comment added to T Roxx's blog... Anyway, speaking of hip hop- I heard a sampler of some of the new Ghostface stuff last week and among the highlights were a song rapped over the entirety of "La La La Means I Love You" (a Trammps soul song?) with the original vocals intact. Ghost raps over the verses (while referencing the verses) and then SINGS his own chorus over their chorus. Mashup Ghostface style. There's also a song about love with my new favorite self-depricating Ghost line: "Love my last album, though that shit went wood."

Hidden Darts Vol. 2, right? Crazy stuff....Tito was kind enough to give me a copy. He also tipped me off to the very amusing Ghostface vs. Random Spam comparison over here:

Funny, in one of my classes yesterday we discussed how those "random" spams are the output of very specific language-analyzing algorithms designed to output words in a way that will escape spam filters. Maybe Cialis and the online dating services ought to save some cash, avoid all the number/word-crunching, and just hire Tony Starks to be their pitchman...
PS: Some other folks you know actually added some comments to my Don Cab entry a couple weeks back but of course your voice is a welcome addition!

Oops- Didn't look that far back.
The Ghostface sampler I heard was actually a teaser for his new album "Pretty Toney" (yes, that's how it's spelled) which has a release date that has moved about 76 times but appears to be finally up for a release on 4/20. www.ghostface.com
On the Don Cab tip, I've only recently discovered the wonders of American Don and it may pass II as my Don Cab fave. It's hard to not envision Ian lazily popping his bubblegum while listening to it...
