Midheaven

Just ordered Crunc Tesla's "What's Really Rad?" EP and Shotgun Wedding Volumes Dos y Tres from this newly discovered mail order site. I recommend everyone hitting up www.midheaven.com and checking out the massive catalog of new and classic hotness. I just ordered from there yesterday and I'm already pimping it.
It must be good.

This just in...

New goodness:

Spank Rock: "YOYOYOYOYO"
Low Budget & Deluxxx: "Snap or Die"
GLC & A-Trak: "Drive Slow"
Dipset: "Diplomats Volume 1"
Dipset: "Byrdgang"
Caps & Jones and Certified Bananas: "Lemon-Red Mixes"
Caps & Jones: "Moving in Stereo"

Some for the show. Some just for me.

More Warp Goodness

Just picked up this "old school" Warp Records gem:



Blech mixed by PC & Strictly Kev of Ninja Tune Records

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.

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.
