Monkey on the Lam 03-19-09: Twittered requests live
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:
- Clark – Growls Garden
- Animal Collective – Banshee Beat
- Fever Ray – Keep the Streets Empty for Me (by request for Brian)
- Clark – The Magnet Mine
- Flight of the Conchords – The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room (Sort of by request for Paul)
- Sufjan Stevens – The Dress Looks Nice On You (by request for deckhands)
- Boards of Canada – Oscar See Through Red Eye
- Justice – Dance
- Patrick Wolf – Get Lost
- Zeigeist – The Lake
- Clark – Seaweed
- The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Young Adult Friction
- Clark – Gonk Roughage
- Tim Exile – Don’t Think We’re One
- Bonnie Prince Billy – I Won’t Ask Again (by request for “humanity” from PJ at Che’s)
- Dodos – Chickens
- The Mountain Goats – So Desperate
- Bob Dylan – Not Dark Yet (by request from My Mom)
- Akron/Family – Dylan Pt. 2
- Billy Idol – White Wedding (by request from Chrysal)
- Clark – Distant Father Torch
- Clark – Farewell Mining Town
- Antony and the Johnsons – Kiss My Name
- Metric – Help I’m Alive (by request from Katherine via Facebook)
- 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)
