Want some pro-bama songs to keep you going while waiting for returns?
An old favorite music blog ¿Revolución, No? has risen again to share some tunes.
My favorites:

I forgot to post this before.
My dubstep tune “worldwide” got played on DJ Distance’s new talent section of his Rinse FM show on 6 May 2008. Unfortunately, he credited me as dj number instead of dj mumbler, but I was excited anyway.
The podcast can be grabbed here:

It seems that rinsefm.blogspot.com has cleared out their archive. Good thing I saved the podcast for myself!
Here’s the excerpt:
And here’s the tune without all the chat:

Ah, it’s that time of the year again. “Best of” list time. While 2007 has been a pretty active year for new releases, I found that I kept going back to the same albums — which were not necessarily the ones whose releases I anticipated the most.
By the way, a lot of the music I’ve enjoyed the most this year deploy obscene amounts of bass. If you don’t have a subwoofer, you hear only half of the music…

Having recently upgraded to an Apple notebook (woohoo!), I am learning the ins and outs of being mobile as I setup my new machine for work and for play.
One thing that was annoying was having to unplug my audio interface when I wanted to take my computer anywhere away from my desk.
On Saturday, I was sick in bed with time to finally work on some music. But, being in bed, I did not have my audio interface connected.
Usually that means that I would need to reassign all audio outputs in my sequencer to the built-in outputs to work on music. And change them all back when I wanted to work at my desk.

Growing up in suburban New Jersey, it required a lot of work to learn about new music. Record buying trips to New York City were my surest method of locating releases that I may have heard mention of, but never actually saw in stores. The situation is very different now, of course, but in high school, I was still a few years away from even discovering Usenet newsgroups and Mosaic was a novelty. My musical curiosity couldn’t be satisfied easily for reasons of age, location or budget. The record industry may bemoan the explosion of music on the internet, but it has become much easier for music lovers to discover new or historically overlooked music. Before, “Google” was not yet a verb, and research often required gas money.
In this context, discovering free form radio was nothing short of miraculous to my young brain. WFMU (wfmu.org) was transmitting weird, cranky, funny, obscure, impossible music. And I could drive around quaint, quiet and boring suburban New Jersey while listening to sounds that I never imagined possible, hosted with unapologetic strangeness.
This mix does not come near the eclecticism of WFMU, by any means, but it is my own exercise in mixing and sequencing across genre.
