Now Playing: some new hot ish from my man hired gun...
Topic: my podcasts
thanks for checking out Radio BSOTS episode #79, released as a part of the 51st GRAMMY Nominees Podcast Premiere. i'm really excited to be a part of this project. this episode is focused squarely on artists and songs that are nominated and the caliber of talent here is guaranteed top-notch. we're gonna put a freeform spin on the ceremony, hence the title GRAMMYS ON SHUFFLE. electronic dance music makes up about half the playlist, along with some alternative fare and a little bit of hip-hop as well. big shouts to the Recording Academy for even considering looking towards podcasters to further their promotions game, and for allowing this mixed genre episode to take place.
there are two artists that weren't included in the playlist, but wanted to mention. first off, zappa plays zappa is up for best rock instrumental performance for "peaches for regalia," one of my absolute favorite frank zappa tunes of all time. father frank continues to be a constant source of musical inspiration for me and his son dweezil has grown into a fine musician and more than capable bandleader. with him around, the musical legacy of the zappa family trust is in good hands.
also, keep tabs on the radiohead album in rainbows, which has been nominated for album of the year. seriously, how crazy would it be if that album won? think about it: an album that was independently released by the band to their fans on a pay-what -you-will sliding scale. what if that album took home the grammy? what kind of a ripple would that make in the music industry? too wide-eyed of a dream? perhaps. but i'm tuning in anyway just in case i'm right (lol).
should this podcast episode peak your curiosity and you want to tune in as well, the grammys take place on sunday, february 8, 2009 on CBS. check your local listings for times. certainly hope that you enjoy this show and come back to hear more of what Radio BSOTS has to offer...
