Something something choices flowing from one to the next, something stream of conciousness whatever.

Blah blah blah vintage new wave / punk (there's a concept, who knew?), doo-wop into merseybeat freakbeat eurobeat, etc etc, rock & roll was once fresh and conquered the world, rant rave whine declawed industrial commodity.

Sigh. But what fun to dig through the old tunes.

Thanks for your time! Thanks for listening!

radio boise playlist for the evening of 01/04/07 - - another LIVE show

Another training session to familiarize myself with the different board. A little smoother this time - - Some questions answered, blanks filled. Made use of much needed repetition on critical maneuvers whilst pulling some tried & true music choices from the back pocket. (no new ground covered there)

I think a bit more training to go yet before I'm ready to flounder on my own on a regular basis. - - But getting closer!

radio boise playlist for week of 01/01/07

Another New Year, and the same old eclectic and musty junk.

Hmm... Anything in this set from THIS century? No, not even. Does that tell us that 'Everything Old Is New'? Probably not. Maybe next time.

Looks like the focus in this week's show shifted and drifted from some kind of vintage Euro beat to Beatsploitation and bebop, found a link to Cowboy Bebop and Western Swing, and then morphed to Big Beat R&B & Rockabilly Roots, before sliding out the door with some Euro Pop of a different stripe.

All & all a howling good time.

Thanks! Here's to a brighter '07.

Sit back, relax. Idle and cruise. The hard part's over.

If necessary, go through the motions of routine, secure in the knowledge that even on fumes you'll soon be gliding across the finish line and into the new year.

Full release, Happy Ending.

Maybe a couple of thises and thats still left to deal with, but gee, realistically it'll be - - oh, what... At least a few days before the grind really reasserts itself.

Exhale. Breathe. Repeat.

Hope you enjoyed this slightly passive set of tunes. As always: Any questions, comments about the music, hellos, whatever - - please click on that 'email me' link. Thanks!

radio boise playlist for the evening of 12/13/06 - - Hey, something new! It was a LIVE show!

So - - Last Wednesday night I went in to the Radio Boise studio for some training on their sound board.

Just between you and me, the word on the street is that sometime in '07 the FCC might finally give the thumbs up for Radio Boise to hit the FM dial. In gearing up for that very exciting event, several of the DJs (including myself) are beginning to take the steps towards live broadcasting. Hopefully in the near future my current show will be supplanted by a live show that's oh-so much closer to the type of thing I've enjoyed constructing in the past.

My experience the other night was great fun; It's been - what? - ten months or so since my last show at KALX in Berkeley. Despite many clunky attempts at trying to understand the ins & outs of a set-up that's all new to me (or perhaps because of it) it was a great joy to once again be feeling the excitement and anxiety of live deejaying.

Hopefully it'll soon become a regular thing, and I'll start taking my shoes off and doing it right...

Down below is a listing of what went out on this little live show. If you have any questions or comments or suggestions, as always please feel no hesitation to click that 'Email me' link over to the right. Thanks again...

radio boise playlist for week of 12/11/06 - - Big Annoying Xmas special ...Part One?!?

Maybe you love Christmas, maybe not.
Maybe you enjoy Christmas songs, maybe you don't.

Maybe you don't celebrate Christmas, in which case I don't envy you if you'd hope to avoid getting it rubbed in your face.

If you're like me, you don't necessarily have anything against X-Day, but the truth is, it's the lull FOLLOWING Christmas that you really look forward to every year.

Whatever camp you're in, here was a batch of far too many Xmas songs & stories for you to 'enjoy'.

And as long as we're talking about Xmas X-cess, come back next week for a whole different batch of too much Ecchsmas.

Ho, ho, ho,

Thanks for stopping by!
