Most People Are DJs

This episode features two interviews from a couple of bands I've played recently and I think really deserve your attention. First up, from Brooklyn, NY, Bell Hollow, 4 guys and a girl that combine to make some beautifully textured rock music that calls back on some of the great 80's bands like the Chameleons and the Sound. Second, I interview PlayRadioPlay, from Texas, who is really just one guy that makes awesome synth-pop with an "emo-like" edge to it. I start things off with a new track by NIN that is available for free and is an awesome listen.

I've been talking about doing 2 different episodes lately, a video and a "music in a foreign langauge" episode. I'm still working on that music in a foreign langauge episoide, but I did do a video episode for this week's MPAD. The video is 2 different clips, the first one is an interview of DJ Ice Cold Chrissy, with his music playing underneath it with video from his set and photos. It's still in what I like to call "guerilla" editing style. The second video is from Electric President and it's neat little video that looks like it took a while to assemble. The show's about 9 minutes show so you shouldn't get too bored.

music/video -

DJ Ice Cold Chrissy (still looking for a website)

Electric President "Insomnia"

I'm part of the Mevio Network now. The phrase "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" probably sums it up best. On this episode I play new tracks with a bit of hip hop and indie rock. Big thanks to all the "special guests" that said a few words for me on this one.

Ben Benjamin "Squirmy Sign Language" from Ghostly Swim

Ghost Buffalo The Latest Wonder (mp3) More On This Album

Atmosphere "Shoulda Known"

Bridges and Powerlines Uncalibrated (mp3)More On This Album

I'll get back to some interviews soon but this episode is me playing music that keeps me smiling. A little less synth, a lot more guitar jangle on this one. I listened to a lot of podcasts this week so I mention 2 that rose above the others and I tell you about a rock-n-roll comic that I'm currently reading. By the way (did you notice I spelled that out - I am not a lazy blogger!), while I may not have a beard, I am a little scruffy this morning. Maybe I should give that "Don Johnson" look a spin.

music -

PlayRadioPlay "I Am A Pirate You Are A Princess"

Metro station "Control" Steve Aoki remix

Brad Breek "One Too Many Mornings Anthem"

Georgie James "Need Your Needs"

Bell Hollow "Foxgloves"

Nighmare of You "On Top of the World"

If you're not laughing at this cover, show it to your parents, they'll find it hysterical! I crack up everytime I look at it. Under the Radar Magazine just keeps getting better.

I came up with three words to describe Most People Are DJs: synth, crackle, pop! I'm incorporating this into a new flyer design that will attempt tp explain Most People Are DJs to the totally uninitiated. On this episode I play 8 awesome tracks and profile 2 terrific artists, M83 and Helio Sequence. There a ton of topics I drop on this episiode so after listening your head may be spinning. If that's the case I have a suggestion, rinse and repeat!

I am back in town and it looks like SPRING IS HERE (I think I'll play that track on next week's show). I mentioned last week that I would play music on this week's show that I discovered in Florida. For the most part that is true, it just happens I listened to a lot of electro-pop with female vocals so that's what you get this week. I've been thinking a lot about social networking sites lately so I give you my 2 cents worth on that and I found these websites that you can make your own online mix tapes - pretty cool! Enjoy the show.

music -

Sissy Wish - Dwts (Do What they Say)

The Mania - The Damage (Wow remix) I really botched this up on the show and called the band "the Damage" and the song "Wow" - sorry!

Scanners - Raw (from PME)

Robots In Disguise We're In The Music Biz (mp3) Buy at iTunes Music Store

Sex Ghost - Meet Me In The Bathroom

Men - Make It Reverse

Air Bureau Club - Frequency

After 2 days of driving in pouring rain through 4 states, I'm finally in Florida and enjoying the sun by the pool.

In this episode is also news on my new sponsorship from eMusic.

SSM - Deja Vu

I'm pleased to announce that for the next few months, eMusic, the place to go for digital downloads, is a sponsor for Most People Are DJs. Having eMusic as a sponsor for my show has been a goal of mine since I started the show. After all, most of the music I listen to comes from eMusic and it's been that way for five years. The best thing about the sponsorship is sharing a great deal with my listeners. When you click on the image above you get 35 songs for free as trial offer. I'll talk more about the offer over the next few episodes. If you decide to try eMusic please use the link above so eMusic knows it's me that sent you to them.
To prove how much I love eMusic I'm going to be using this blog space to write about eMusic offerings. I'll have track listings for some of my favorite mixes, reviews of new releases available at eMusic and information about some of the odder but infinitely cooler offerings available at eMusic. For today, try a band that because of their name will never receive much radio play but they sure will get the media buzzing.
