This Twitter experiment is already yielding me some fruit, I slacked off preparing my show last night (uh, cuz I was setting up PJ at Che’s Lounge with his own twitter). So, since I have very little music selected, I was flying by the seat of my pants. However, my sudden influx of new listeners (thanks in part to twitter itself) blasted me with a barrage of eclectic requests. I couldn’t fill all of them, but I did my best to try, and during the show I got followed by another 5 or 6 people, and turned a few people on to making accounts themselves. This is my second day using the thing, my first day REALLY using it. It’s pretty incredible. Anyway, I took advantage of the requests and did my best to fill the gaps with my own selections. I also played that Clark EP, split up over the course of the show.

So anyway, the tracklist is as follows:

1. Clark – Growls Garden
2. Animal Collective – Banshee Beat
3. Fever Ray – Keep the Streets Empty for Me (by request for Brian)
4. Clark – The Magnet Mine
5. Flight of the Conchords – The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room (Sort of by request for Paul)
6. Sufjan Stevens – The Dress Looks Nice On You (by request for deckhands)
7. Boards of Canada – Oscar See Through Red Eye
8. Justice – Dance
9. Patrick Wolf – Get Lost
10. Zeigeist – The Lake
11. Clark – Seaweed
12. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Young Adult Friction
13. Clark – Gonk Roughage
14. Tim Exile – Don’t Think We’re One
15. Bonnie Prince Billy – I Won’t Ask Again (by request for “humanity” from PJ at Che’s)
16. Dodos – Chickens
17. The Mountain Goats – So Desperate
18. Bob Dylan – Not Dark Yet (by request from My Mom)
19. Akron/Family – Dylan Pt. 2
20. Billy Idol – White Wedding (by request from Chrysal)
21. Clark – Distant Father Torch
22. Clark – Farewell Mining Town
23. Antony and the Johnsons – Kiss My Name
24. Metric – Help I’m Alive (by request from Katherine via Facebook)
25. Plaid – TAK 5

Note that I linked all those who made requests (or something resembling a request). I will try to do that from now on if I’m doing the Twitter thing, although if I have a lot of new music I might be less likely to take requests.

Oh and without further ado: Here’s the link to the episode for download/stream (64 kbps mp3 – i know i know, it’s recorded from the stream)

Hooray technology.

Wolfie – Strange Ways in 4D – 03-18-09

No time to go into more detail now, but here’s Wolfie’s latest radio show. I haven’t even had time to listen to it yet myself. Enjoy.

My old friend Ben Goldfein has been running this blog by the name of “My Checklist” over the course of this year. It was first brought to my attention when he posted about my Monkey on the Lam top 50 tracks of 08 playlist, and in my blog-curiosity I went back to it today, and found myself amazed at how much content (and variety) was crammed into the pages.

I can aspire to be this interesting here, but also: where the hell will I find the time? Not to say that Ben isn’t a busy man, I’m certain that he is, but I feel like I am already struggling to get a daily post in as it is… dropping 20 bombs in the course of a day seems a harrowing task. Perhaps other bloggers (I’m looking at you Ben, and hoping you see that I’m dropping this link) can lead me in the right direction. How does one find enough things to write about? Granted, there is a ton of stuff happening, but I don’t want to just ape other blogs, and I don’t want to start vomitting my personal life onto the page, for a myriad of reasons. I’ve written about dreams before and the imagry is interesting in my head but tends to be dull on the page (shocker).

For the time being, I suppose I will continue to post old artwork until I have the rest of the page finished, and beyond that, we’ll see where it goes. Oh yeah, I need to get the wordpress sidebar in here somehow. God, why am I having such trouble understanding div tag positioning. /wrists

For those who are unaware, there is a little coffee house on Martha’s Vineyard with a beautiful aesthetic and some great music on many evenings. I’ve also been filling up (the owner) PJ’s iPod on a regular basis since last summer, so the daily tunes are often directly from my head. I’m sitting in here right now, it’s freshly painted with new art from the new barista, Angel, on the walls, and it’s a cozy, great place to be.

In fact, I designed a large portion of my website here, sitting on the couch in the corner, occasionally showing whoever was around the progress and looking for suggestions on what to change and what to keep. The place is Che’s Lounge, and it’s off Main street in Vineyard Haven, on Martha’s Vineyard, down a little alley just before the bookstore. Stop in and have a coffee and hang out, if you’re around. Their website is currently unfinished but it features a documentary, Colin’s poster artwork, and so on. I may get around to doing some concert reviews on here in the future.
