Somewhere along the way I think I've lost my aging compass when it comes to music. Friends my age will tell me they don't like new bands because they can no longer relate to them and it isn't relevant to the life they currently lead. For me, music is as much about escapism as it is about wondering weather carries any relevance. I lead a mundane life. I like it that way, but I don't really need a band to remind me of it. What I need is a band that recaptures my youthful spirit by playing music that makes me what to shake off the lethargy that creeps in and settles on me because I've been thinking too much about paying dues and bills. Bands like the Medic Droid and Hyper Crush do that for me.

On this episode I play six tracks, I talk to the bands Medic Droid and Hyper Crush, and review the live show. Have a good Thanksgiving, and if you can come out the Crofoot on Nov.29th for Christmas On Mars!

Boy Crisis - Dressed to Digress (reminds me a bit of Soft Cell)

the Medic Droid - Fer Sure (remix), It's about Love (Get their ep on iTunes!)

Interview with Chris and Hector of Medic Doid

HyperCrush - The Arcade (edit), Sex And Drugs (I like the line about Soda Pop)

2008 - Christmas On Mars - Trailer from George Salisbury on Vimeo.

I am helping promote/host a movie night next week at the Crofoot. Please come see Christmas On Mars, by renaissance-weirdo, Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. There will be short films by local movie team, Iron Core TV. And an afterparty with suprises , a DJ (Me!) and more. All for$5!!!!!

Here it is the final episode of BPM Media. I want to thank BPM, writer/artist Paul Sizer for doing so much work to put these episodes together. BPM Media, was an experiment of mine to promote independent art in a visual medium that could be easily viewed and informative at the same time. In 8 episodes, BPM Media provided bits of knowledge on both, Paul Sizer and his graphic novel, BPM. I hope you enjoyed the episodes, and, moreover, it prompts some of you to buy a book that may have never been on your radar screen.

Paul Sizer was the guest on Comic Geek Speak this week, they cover all kinds of territory both music and comics related.

For more information on BPM, visit Paul's BPM site he updates it regularly.

More Most People Are DJs artist videos are coming, but, later this week expect a packed MPAD episode with music, interviews and, of course, skewed intellect.

It's the next to the last epsiode of BPM Media. One BPM Media #7, BPM writer/artist, Paul Sizer explains the techniques behind the artwork in BPM.

The reviews for BPM are coming in, check out this one from ICV2!

I think today was the first snow to fall today for this time of year. Gray skies, snow, falling temperatures, just the stuff to usually bring a person today. But, today I'm all smiles and that's what this episode is all about. After some dark days, I'm turning over a new leaf and starting to look forward to tomorrow again. I'm playing some fun mix stuff and showgazesque tracks while I spiel on about PodCamp, MI and my iTouch.

This episode opens at my favorite comic store, Green Brain Comics! If you're in the Dearborn, MI area please pay them a visit. They have a huge and well organized selection of comics. Dan and his wife, Katie, are very helpful and while he may not speak much on video, Dan's more than ready to recommend a comic or graphic novel. There are 3 more episodes of BPM left and only a few weeks before it is available at you local comic store. As always you can find out more about BPM Media by visiting the website.

MPAD#165 is a special Halloween show. I love Halloween, because it gives me an excuse to dive deep into the horror and dark stuff I have an interest in and it's okay, because I'm just in the spirit of the holiday. With all the economy doom and gloom, horror is actually a welcome escape.

After taking a week off of MPAD, I'm back with a vengance! On this episode I interview my favorite lyricist in music today, David Gedge of the Wedding Present. TWP recently played live in my area and I was fortunate enough to get a few minutes of David's time to answer a few questions. He's quite amusing and very accommodating. If you're a fan of TWP and you don't have El Rey, yet, you should pick it up, it's another great release. Also, on the episode I play more jangle pop, feature spooky soundtrack band Goblin and more.

With Wall Street falling apart at the seams, the economy not getting any better and my wallet taking a beating, I need to inject some humor in my life. The songs on this week's show should put a few smiles on your face, they are a little silly, but I wouldn't call them "novelty" songs.

I can see the leaves beginning to turn color and the TV is getting turned on a bit more frequently. Fall is coming and with it comes new TV, new music and football. On MPAD#159 I'm playing some new music from a couple of folks that have risen back from the ashes of yesterday, Juliana Hatfield and Wayne Hussey. There's also local band the Silent Years. I saw them play last night and I have to say seeing them live is an almost spiritual event. In the middle are a couple of electro-pop/dance tracks that are very infectious. There's TV talk as I cover what I'm watching this fall, by the way, I watched 90210 last night and believe it or not, it's good! Reminds me of the old 90210 with a fresh spin. I should have mentioned that I'm watching the Shield and the first episode of it's last season was pretty great.

A couple friends of mine that are encyclopedic when it comes to music and myself have decided to start a DJ Crew called Sucker DJs. The unspoken mission of Sucker DJs will be to dispel the myth that all DJs have that "cooler than thou, untouchable" attitude. We're approachable, down to earth guys, playing music that strays away from tedium and repetition. We add flavor to the typical DJ set and we mean that literally.

Along with Jeff Milo, Tom Matich, and myself, as Sucker DJs we'll be playing indie, electro, soul, hip hop, etc. that will move your feet, make you grin and think things that are probably best left unsaid. We'll be playing as part of Encore, a big bash at the Crofoot on Friday, Aug. 29th. Yeah, its approaching fast...

In celebration of the Pontiac's Arts Beats and Eats Festival I'm playing local bands that will be performing there or nearby soon. These are local artists that need to be heard nationally.

This year's NME was held in Las Vegas which came with both good and bad things. The good things were there was tons to do, people to watch and maybe a chance to win some money. The bad was too many distractions, hard to focus on NME and easy to lose money. I was lucky to have share a room with two great Podcasters, Charles from Insomnia Radio SoCal and Steve from Geek Cred (check their shows out!) With those two, I always had a fun time and met lots of people they knew. On this episode, Charles and I did some poolside recording of our perceptions on the show. There's also some great music Charles' recommended and a couple of other surprises. A slide show of my pics will be up in a couple days so check back!

I love electro! Electro of all types. Hyper Crush and Millionaires are electro music to party and dance to. What they may lack in depth they make up for in fun. This is Part 1 of a 2 part episode: a video episode and an audio episode. Part 1 is the video which has just small portions of the interview that will be part of the audio episode, plus a couple other surprises. The video gives a good view of 2 young, enthusiastic, awesome bands on tour.

Part 2: the audio episode will be available Tuesday (8/12/08) night!

Last night I got to check out the Art Fag DJ collective at Vernor's Room which was cool, but that isn't the point. I was told by friends that I should see the Hard Lessons, but all I heard was comparisons to the White Stripes who I am just not much of a fan for. But, I made my way over to see the Hard Lessons and they were BRILLIANT! Completely at the top of their game, rocking out like a national headliner and having friends from other bands join them on stage. They made me a believer and you'll hear them on MPAD real soon.

As for this week's episode, I split up the talk from the music. I have a 15 minute mix at the beginning that includes a demo from one of my favorite local bands, the Nice Device, then, the mix gets funky and trippy (where's that sample from?) leading to something from Girl Talk's latest (which you can download online). The talk covers the latest albums I've listened to, a new technology toy and some crazy song that's been driving me crazy! Enjoy.

I think this is my first "author" interview episode. John Sellers is the author of "Perfect From Now On: How Indie Music Saved My Life" and has also contributed articles to Spin, GQ, The New York Times and more. He's an obsessive music fan that I could spend countless hours at a bar arguing over which Smiths song is best or which bands should really reunite. Our conversation is an hour and includes 2 tracks and underscored by some of the best music from the 80's, 90's and even a few from today.

So about three years ago I put out my first MPAD episode. I looked at the show as my way of spreading what I deem as good, under appreciated music and other artistic endeavors to an audience larger than the few friends I have been talking and playing this stuff to for years. Doing anything for 3 years on a consistent basis is significant. It's even more significant when you can point to results and events that make the work worthwhile. I can point to friends that I've made, the listeners that I have and events that have made the last 3 years special enough to keep doing this crazy new media show. This week's episode is a typical show with a few new bands I've come across with great songs and some banter about the event I DJ'd (well, sort of) over the weekend.

I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July weekend! As I sit here with a sunburn on my face of all places, I'm trying to hide from the sun. In celebration of Indendence Day, I am interviewing an independent artist that pushes the limits of life and music, Dan Diamond. His songs such as Titty Dancer and Bad Habits uncover the seedy lifestyle we normally watch and cheer on from the bleacher seats. Always enjoying the view but never sure if we'd want trade places.

I didn't say it on the episode so let me put it here: Happy Father's Day! Rather than play music and do the usual MPAD episode, on this episode I talk with Lee Bushman, the Marketing Director at Iron Core Entertainment (ICE), a film company that is currently working on the Sci-Fi webvideo series "Terra". "Terra" is an ambitious, science fiction show that takes place in the not too distant future. I'd tell you more but I'd rather you listen to the episode and hear it from Lee. ICE are looking for extras and people that like to have a good time, if you're interested check this event out. If you create music ICE are also looking for music to contribute to their show. Underneath the interview the music playing is provided by Mighty Whitey and Aleph-1, a prog-syth band from Ann Arbor.

Movement 2008 is also known as the Annual Detroit Tech Techfest. A weekend of cutting edge electronic music, DJing and fun. I went to the show on Sunday, May 25 and had an amazing time. I had my flip video recorder with me and took some video. This episode has some of the better footage. It was a crazy day that was packed with people, there was dancing, great music, and friendly faces. You could say I was "moved by movement!" See you there in 2009.

Welcome to June, despite the cost of gas, I think this is going to be a great summer, lots of good shows, a couple festivals and sun. Thanks to the podcast I'm getting involved with things I've always wanted to do - like DJ a show and be part of the process of making a record. There's even more than that, but I don't want to speak too soon, so you'll learn more about that on upcoming MPAD episodes. On this episode, the music is a lighter than last week, with a bit of power pop thrown in. The comic supplied for this page is from Dave LaPlante's Joe Pop, check it out.

This weekend in Detroit is Motor City Comic Con and I've been getting back into the world of comics, largely through great indie efforts like American Born Chinese. Part of the purpose of Most People Are DJs, besides playing great indie music, is to showcase people that are using their talent to produce (mostly)independent works of art, whether it's music. films, novels or comics that I think deserve more exposure. On this episode, I have an interview with Fred Chao, the writer and artist for "Johnny Hiro - Half Asian All Hero", a great comic that combines "slice of life" commentary with Japanese history and non-stop action. There are 3 issues out and Fred's working on more. For a preview of "Johnny Hiro" go here!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I put this show up a little early because I'm on the long road home on Sunday and Monday. On this episode I make up for the talking I excluded last week by having commentaries on who I'm supporting for President, the car brand Scion and 3 music podcasts I recommend. For music, I play some recent music from 2 legendary bands (in my book) The Wedding Present and Bauhaus. I also play some indie pop and hip hop.

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

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.

There is so much that went on last week, here's a few highlights:

I went to Phonotropic on Friday and saw hip hop artist SignOne he was incredible with humor and intelligence.

The podcast the Tripwire is the podcast (and blog) to hear what is some of the best music coming out today.

I'm seeing the band Islands tonight, should be a good show.

This week's episode features an interview of Jesse Thorn of the podcast/radio show The Sound of Young America. The Sound of Young America is one of my favorite podcasts, each week Jesse interviews bands, actors, writers, etc. that make my life more interesting. Jesse's interviews are always incisive and full of fun. This episode I put him on the other side of the mic and try to get similar results. I also play music that I think Jesse will dig, but, I'm not sure how successful that turned out.

I mentioned the weather last week so I may as well update you, today it's freezing rain and slick conditions. I almost slipped getting my paper this morning! I went to shows both Friday and Saturday night, so today I'm truly calling it a day of rest. I noticed that for the past couple of weeks I got away from playing the quirky, synth driven stuff I've identified MPAD with, so this week it's back with a vengeance. I'm also pulling out a couple of surprises.

Besides what on episode, here's what else is going on:

800Beloved warmed up for A Place to Bury Strangers and played a brillinat set, they may have an electronic ep up this week so stay on their path.

If you like horror then you have to listen to Dread Media, a great horror podcast that is similar to Sci-Fi Dig but for fans of horror. I had an email of mine read on a previous episode.

A Knight Rider for 2008 is on tonight and the Spice Girls sold out the Palace. We've retread so much from the recent past that we're really digging the bottom of the barrel.

So let's get intro this week's episode -

The wind is kicking hard today and it's about 10 below zero F when you factor that in. but, I'm going to keep warm today by having the fireplace on and playing some good music. Judging by the music alone, this is probably one of my best episodes. Four of tracks come from bands that are playing a show on Saturday, Feb. 16 at the Crofoot. The slide show above is from a couple of recent shows that I've attended. I even got to announce Crashing Cairo (thanks Wax!) on stage at one of the shows.

Before I get into the show notes, here's a couple of things I meant to mention but left out:

Mojo did a 3 hour radio show on and with Gary Numan, it was a radio stream, but if you search hard enough you can find an MP3 file of it (or you can email me).

I've been reading the Captain America Omnibus for the past couple of weeks and I have to say this may be the best comic storyline I've ever read. The pacing, the characters, plots and subplots are so well told that even though I know what lies ahead, reading it unfold, I never get the sense this was done as sensationalism (see One More Day).

Lost is finally back on and I can't say I'm immediately hooked, but, maybe a listen to the Ekobase podast will help.

800Beloved is playing the Magic Stick on Friday with A Place to Bury Strangers, if you missed them at the MPAD Showcase here's your chance to see their incredible live show. I'll probably cover this on next week's show.

On with the notes from the show:

music:

The Dead Bodies "Total Destruction"

Us vs. Her "In My Pocket"

Bob Mould "The Silence Between Us" for PMN

Wild Sweet Orange "Wrestle With God"

On this episode I interview Robert Wax from Crashing Cairo as he talks about his band's just finished, first CD, former bands he's played in and we yuk it up on pop culture. There's also music from Blood Red Sun, Repeater, the Satin Peaches and Magnet School. The episode is filled with with guitar-based rock songs, heart-felt lyrics, and one ornery dog. If you're in the Detroit area make sure you see Crashing Cairo with Ether Aura, The Satin Peaches and Us Vs. Her on Friday, Feb. 8, 2008 at the Magic Bag.

Here's my first try at putting a D-I-Y MPAD video episode. I took the video and pics my friends took and created mini-videos from each band. For a novice I think I did "okay." The video's do capture the fun and excitement that took place last week at "Synth Shoegaze Surprize." If you like, tell your friends about it, and let me know so I can think about doing another.

I can't recall the song off the top of my head, but the Hold Steady have a line that goes "I still feel pretty sweet." And, even with a lack of sleep, sore shoulders from carry everything and a pounding headache, I still feel pretty sweet. If you missed it, last night was my MPAD Showcase: Synth, Shoegaze, Surprize! and while I have a long list of "lessons learned" I think the event went extremely well.
My first "lesson learned" was never pick the coldest day of the year to have a show! The temp was somewhere in the subzero area with wind gusting. So the 110 people (which is a pretty good crowd) we had in the Pike Room braved the elements to see the show.

Let's start with the artroom. J. Celestino, Shawn Amberger, Paul Sizer and Marvin Shaouni had work on display. This photo contains work by J. Celestino. Everyone really like the artwork, and a couple of the artists sold a few of their works making the evening especially good for them.

 

 

 

 

 

Get this guy offstage so we can here some music! I had this crazy idea to emcee the night, so before the bands took the stage I came on and introduced them, while giving away PodShow t-shirts and other swag. It was fun and I hope it added a bit to the evening.

 

 

Deastro was the first to play.He threw out a blistering set of frantically paced, energetic, synth-bliss, that those unfamilar with Deastro came away with smiles and an appreciation for spastic dancing.

Otto Vector played next and were nice enough to play a couple of songs, they don't usually perform "Ponderance of a Lonely Girl on a Porch" being one of them, Their sound was especially tight and Renee's vocals were spot on. For one of the early bands, they got quite a reaction from the crowd with some dancing and lots of cheering.
Ether Aura was third on the list, and this was a good time to relax a bit to the ethereal sweetness of Kate, the lead singer's voice. They have a video on their MySpace page from their performance you need to see!














Lastly, 800Beloved took the stage and got everyone to their feet with one of those "it will go down in history" performances. I've never heard a band play so loud and sound so clear at the same time. Their set was shimmering with guitar effects, wonderful vocals and bouncing basslines. Their cover of the Rolling Stones (by way of the Sundays) "Wild Horses" brought a hush then a loud sheer from the audience. Their set ended with the crowd joining them on stage dancing. A moment I regrettably missed. If anyone has pictures from this part of the show please contact me!




I think the best thing for me about the show was everybody seemed to have a very good time. There was a sense of friendliness and a nice shrugging off the "ultra cool to hip to relate" attitude I enounter at a lot of shows. The show took a lot out of me to put on, but, looking back on it, it was worth every moment. Thanks to the bands, artists and friends that participated. It was really you that made the show a night I'll treasure.
This week's podcast, MPAD#128, will have more music from each of the bands that played and more from the show.

Here's question for you - How do you know Mikel O.D. has spoken too long. Answer: The backgound music ends and he's still talking! So, in the middle of the show I talk about not being an arist, the MPAD Showcase and how music should be an experience. The music is more dancey and electronic this week.

It was a chilly, snowy night last week when I tracked out to to see Maritime at the Pike Room in Pontiac. I'll be honest and say the warm up bands, one who I never got the name of and the One AM Radio were not very exciting. However, when Maritime took the stage the played a blistering set of of songs, with many of the highlights from their latest album, "Heresy and the Hotel Choir." The guitar interplay between Davey and Dan was incredible, the songs live have a bit more of an edge that really got the crowd going. I interviewed Davey and Dan (Dider) from Maritime before the show, this episode features the interview, music from Maritime and more.

Greg Gillis is the head behind the music experience known as Girl Talk. Girl Talk takes bit of hip hop, rap, funk, alternative, sappy 70's music and more to create a style that is a step beyond mix tapes, DJing and mashups. I caught up with GT after his recent tour and his show at the Eagle Theater in Pontiac, which was absolutely nuts! We talk about the formation of Girl Talk, the live show and how he creates a Girl Talk Track. Of all the interviews I've done lately I think this is my best one yet.
