We’ve all survived encounters with our nuclear family (presumably), and if you’re like me and live up north (Canada is 3 hours away!), then you’ve undoubtedly had your first run in with some snow. So that got me to thinking about songs that reminded me of winter or that had a nice sitting by the fireplace sipping hot chocolate type feel. After a while, I had a whole mix, so here it is:
French Stack Attack I.D. – AZLTRON
Outside the City – Young Galaxy
One with the Freaks – The Notwist
When You Were Mine – Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Someone Great – LCD Soundsystem
Fallen Snow – Au Revoir Simone
Figures in the Snow – Graig Markel
Exploding Snow Horse – The Octopus Project
It’s Thanksgiving, so that means I am going to do a little extra today by posting my radio show track by track, including my custom little promotional advertisements, which I enjoy way too much. Keep an ear out for next week, there’s going to be even more ridiculous promos, which are my favorite thing ever right now.

Here it is, the first show in full that I successfully recorded.
In the same spirit of otherworldly dance/rockers the Klaxons comes Melbourne’s Midnight Juggernauts. Their debut album Dystopia, throbs with equal parts psychedelia and stomping beats. Often times sounding like the raucous procreation of David Bowie and Justice. If you’re headed into another dimension via experimental space-craft anytime soon, The Midnight Juggernauts might be just the thing for you.
So Many Frequencies – Midnight Juggernauts
Tombstone – Midnight Juggernauts
So I have a show that is broadcast from WNYO every Monday from 11-noon. I know that many people are in class or at work and cannot listen. However I am in the process of developing techniques and schedules so that everyone can listen to my show. If you can you should definitely listen next week because I have a special guest co-host. Anyway one of my plans is to post all the tracks I’ve played the same day.
I realize that it is Wednesday morning and that I am posting Monday’s show. So, I’ll just get to it.

I am Somebody – DJ Mehdi (Ft. Chromeo)

Cut Cut Paste – Tokyo Police Club
MGMT is a band that has been picking up a lot of attention these last few months, with their psychedelic sampling style and dance inclinations. Their full length debut “Oracular Spectacular” is a journey through college coffee shops, pagan rituals, and synth tinged nostalgic folk freak outs. Like Hall and Oates shaking hands with Echo and the Bunnymen through a Pink Floyd Filter. Trippy stuff.
The album opens with one of the strongest tracks on the record, “Time To Pretend”, which has a deliriously violent bounce and narrates the cycles of modern life through eyes envious of the old playground. Another highpoint deserving of radio play is the smooth “Electric Feel”. The track grinds on a galloping beat and ascends into the category of “Baby-Making Music” on the flute loops and satisfying falsetto. The woozy style and ethereal delivery of the music makes “Oracular Spectacular” the 2am album of the year. Bring on the all-nighters.
Okay, so tomorrow is Halloween and many people will be gallivanting about the country side in silly costumes (or scantily clad absences of costume) and I will be working. I’m getting through this idea though by putting together a Halloween mix. I played all of these on my show on Monday and I felt like it was one of my best shows yet. Riddled with copyright free Vincent Price quotes and a distinctly eerie yet extremely dance-able atmosphere.
Mp3 – Do they know it’s Halloween?
Mp3 – Oingo Boingo – Dead Man’s Party
Mp3 – Echo & the Bunnymen – People Are Strange
Mp3 – Michael Jackson – Thriller
Mp3 – The Rakes – Terror
