Episode 58 - Do you remember rock 'n roll radio?

After a five month hiatus of academics, graduation, tripping, DJing for 24 hours straight, traveling and, alas, more record buying, I returned to the studio of KSDT (or KSTD as I call it with specific veteran and criminal staff members in mind) and recorded Episode 58. This is perhaps the most contemporary episode possible, comprising of records purchased during my most recent visit to New Orleans as well as a few surprises and summations of recent life crises.

Episode 57 - DJ Craig Biggio

The four song mini hip-hop set makes this episode somewhat worthwhile. I also go to great lengths to describe this LP cover,

further proof that my command of the word is mediocre at best while my taste in music is somewhere south of questionable (see what I mean?). At least I can cling to the hope of one day being more eloquent than Disco Rick.

Episode 56 - I'm just beginning to live

It the spirit of poor planning as the antithesis of uncool, I play Jonathan Richman's Rockin' and Romance LP for the second time (see Episode 15). In one sense, it is completely legit, as I did buy that LP twice. In the other sense, it is testament to my total lack of resolve. At a certain point my body just begins to crave actual 'good' music over the completeness of my life. This is true for the following reason: I'm sentimental and insist on only remembering the extreme good and extreme bad. Something like "Berlin 1992: A Tresor Comilation" just kinda gets played with zero remarks.

Episode 55 - ?

I'm not sure if I was uninspired during the broadcast, or if I'm just uninspired while writing this little 'blurb' but I essentially don't remember much about this episode. There are some pretty decent tunes played though.

Episode 54 - Sea World Fire Works Show

The last song of this episode pretty much sums up the whole reason I started this project. Strong White Male comes off a Mecca Normal LP that I bought in the discount bin from Amoeba about 6 months ago. Buried in other records that I got on that trip, I probably didn't listen to it very closely until now. Since recording this episode last week, I've nearly worn song off the disc. Enjoy.

Episode 53 - You can be my email.

I will admit that despite blemishes like Episode 52, the music is getting better, the further we go on and the nearer we get to the end. Even the Greek music played in this episode is pretty great. As for the stories behind the music, they just keep staying the same - self indulgent, vague, bitter and weird.

Episode 52 - Lost Greek "Hits"

This episode consists mainly of Greek pop songs taken from 1 euro LPs that I bought during a 24hr record shop in Athens 2 years ago. I collated this compilation: Lost Greek Hits, 1978 - 1988 and pretty much never revisited most of these records...until now. It turns out that I'm going BACK to Greece this summer and will probably record binge again, since I don't know of any other travel activity. Any suggestions for what I should seek out? Post them in the comments section below!!!
