Comin' Back

The show will be back on Friday, December 2nd. It looks like I'm moving more towards "DJ mixes" as the main theme for the show. This may eventually become the format for every show.

Buddha Machine

Check it: buddhamachine

I recently purchased one of these little guys from Forced Exposure. I lit some incense today and tested out the soothing audio loops. Looks like an iPod, but solely for meditative purposes. Definitely chilled me out. Nice little Buddha.

Friday 11/18/05 Automated

This coming Friday, KRUI will start automation until Monday, 11/28 (I think). Maybe I will do some automating of my own, either for this Friday, next Friday, both, or neither. Most likely neither, but we'll see what happens. If you are listening between 5 PM on Friday and the 28th, don't bother calling in because there will be no live DJing.

The turntables are working!

I got a bit of good news this week from Tommy, one of our directors at KRUI, regarding the equipment in the station. Apparently those two Technics turntables that had been under a pile of shyte for quite some time are fully functional. Therefore, it is only right to break out the small number of vinyl-only tracks I have in my bag of goodies, and get 'em ready for the show. I have been recording these tracks with GarageBand from my Numark decks to my PowerBook, but now it seems I will be able to play 'em straight off the original medium. Very nice, indeed. One half of the show will be vinyl-only tracks (maybe) and the other half most likely just a random selection of the goodness.
Another bit of VERY good news: an extremely nice gentleman from England by the name of Buddy Peace notified me that I will be receiving a fair amount of his own recordings in the mail very soon. I have featured selections of his mixing and remixing on the show before, and he certainly deserves more recognition. Look forward to the newest material (at least to me) from Buddy Peace coming real soon.

New Posts Coming Soon

For those of you actually reading this blog, I'll be providing some information for next week's show, if not this week's. Sorry for the lack of posts. I promise I'll make it up to you.

Warm Fuzzy Happy Fun Land Show

This Friday on Hooked on 'Tronics you'll hear some music that gives you that special feeling in your tummy. The songs will range from the utterly sublime and ethereal to flat out googly-eyed silliness. Imagine frolicking butt naked in a poppy field with your favorite Teletubby, inhaling all of nature's glory. It's the Warm Fuzzy Happy Fun Land Show!

In the beginning...

There was a boy. His name was Dave. He liked electronic music. His friends initially attempted to hide it from him, but he was too crafty. He discovered their little secret and told others. They were not happy about this. Then, one day they realized they could use Dave to discover new electronic music. Now they are happy, and Dave has a radio show dedicated to electronic music.
