Now Playing: two loons for tea - "sunset room" (one of the sexiest podsafe tunes ever...)
Topic: my podcasts
so here we are. episode number 50. man, am i glad this is over with. you can split this over evenly into two parts. the first 20 minutes are pretty upbeat, the last 20 are more reflective and quiet...partially due to volume level issues. voiceovers on this one are my biggest problem with this show. really just the second half.
beyond that, i didn't mention the two great cuts i found on promonet that are included in this show. that's how off my game i was. first off, there's a great updated version of a go-go classic from E.U. in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Spike Lee's School Daze film. (damn, has it really been that long?) closing tune is from Baby Elephant, a new project spearheaded by one of my major musical influences, producer Prince Paul. it's Paul, his longtime friend and collaborator Don Newkirk, and legendary P-Funk musician Bernie Worrell, who also spent time in Talking Heads. lots of special guests on the album, including George Clinton, Nona Hendryx, Yellowman, and David Byrne (who's on guest vocals for "How Does The Brain Wave?")
as promised, this is a show about the projects that i was involved in before Radio BSOTS came around. i go back to my high school days making tape collages, as well as college radio promos, feeble attempts at rocking the mic, and other pieces of silliness. it also goes into ON THE VERGE, the e-mail newsletter that would birth BOTH SIDES. i already know that this episode won't be for everyone, but if you do the digg and you dig this show, then please digg this show. i can't thank you enough for your support.
