I don't even know what to say about this show. It was a lot of fun, and I feel like it went through some strange waves. I used some video game music sparingly, and I tried to have a carefree attitude about the types of genres I pick. Usually I try to pick one thing from most of the genres, but today I felt a bit glued to the electronica and rock. Honestly, I think it turned out to be a good show though, but tell me what you think.

One thing I absolutely loved was a moment of layering where I was playing the "Cave" song from Skyward Sword, a song from Niellerade, and the Robert Lax recording. Truthfully, even if a layering is good, sometimes it doesn't affect me, because it still seems like separate components. This layering in this show though was a moment I want to bottle. It was a feeling like I could close my eyes and, instead of being at WCBN, I would be in a cave, with a God-like voice echoing off the walls to speak to me. That moment in freeform radio when you are transported to a different country, continent, universe, is what I live for.

Also, because I am in love with Regina Spektor, I want to share more of her with you with this article by NPR along with her new album streaming for free.

Playlist time!

3. Chica and the Folder: This was a very pleasant surprise. Me-effing-gusta.

The Attack of Nothing:

1. Extra long set: The DJ after me tends to come late pretty regularly, which is why this set in particular is pretty long. I think he might have come in the middle of the last song, but I've been setting long songs so that I can pack up and go.
2. Glitches: And by glitches I mean me accidentally playing the second song on a vinyl when I didn't catch it in time. Womp womp. This happened a few times. Precision was not the name of the game tonight, folks.
3. Too much electronica?: Now I'm wondering whether that was too much...it's ok.

Until Friday, my friends!

How's it going, my freeform minions? I heard that you like listening to the radio...is that right? Well, you're pretty lucky, because I'm a DJ at WCBN. THAT'S SO COOL RIGHT?! I must be, like, the coolest person you know. Also, I'm really useful to you, because I have some information for you:

Did you know that the hot girl on all of the Messer Chups covers...

...is actually the leader singer/guitarist in the band?!

Anyway, this was a good show, and I have not too much to report about it, except that I'm really enjoying my 9-noon slot for the summer, and I hope that I can keep something like this during the coming year. I'm not really missing songs with curse words, and it's actually more of a challenge because I can't just grab ANYTHING. It also makes me realize how much of the library needs to have reviews for FCCs (curse words and generally inappropriate content).

All right, now stop being lazy and go listen to my show.

Hail:

1. Pierrot Lunaire Layer: Eeeeee I love scary layers! I've noticed something from my past layers, is that I find it easier to create a spooky, atmospheric layer, rather than a super exact one, but perhaps that's also the nature of doing live layering with the materials I have. Either way, my favorite part was when I played the Billie Holiday. Love that shit. So scary.
2. Messer Chups: All of the reincarnations of the Messer Chups are absolutely brilliant. They're in the good-life section, and if you're a DJ at WCBN reading this, you should go look at it right now. 
3. Freestailo Remix: Ummmm this was baller. I should play more remixes of this, or make one.

Kill:

1. YouTube: Why do I use YouTube? I hate myself every time I do, but sometimes I feel like it's so necessary. Oh the Internet.
2. Manowar: I was really into this for a hot second, and I think I could be in the future, but for what I wanted at this moment, it felt a little...overdone, shall we say.
3. When I forced my random ideas on you: Remember that time that I tried to create a cart for you live? That was kind of weird. 

Update complete. Now go listen to more radio. 

Subshow #16 - 5/9/12

Today was a bit of a strange show for me because one of my very good friends was in the studio with me, and immediately before subbing Saramin's show, I hosted the very first episode of the Sex and Tell Show, which is a public affairs show I'm doing this semester with a friend, so I was a little...crazed is the word.

Regardless, I think it was a good show, and I happened upon a few good songs! Hope you like it!

3. Celestial Navigations: This never gets old. 

Movin' Down:

1. Starting with long track: Tell me if I'm wrong, but that makes the set a little slow...right? 
2. Premature Song Playing: As I was at the station, my friend and I were also having dinner, and she went to my apartment to grab some Nutella for our bread, and I accidentally, and in a state of panic, played the song that she had picked out to hear. I'm still sorry about that.
3. Thunder: Not as epic as I thought. Hm. 

Until next time!

Horowitz: HEY GUYS! What's up?!

This is the first post of the summer term guys! As such, I decided to start off with a remix of my show's namesake. I'm really happy with this show, and I think it pretty much speaks for itself, and is a solid example of freeform as far as using various music selections.

I don't know if you know this, but there's a lot of thought that goes into what time slot a DJ wants. I happened to get my first choice, which is great, but just choosing what my first choice should be is a hard thing for me. Not only is there the dilema of sleep vs. availability, but the bigger issue for me is censorship. I might have mentioned this in another post, but the difference of how a show feels during "safe harbor" (when we can't play curse words), and non-safe harbor (between 10pm-6am), is pretty big for me. That also has to balance with the difference between having a show late at night, which will have less listeners, and a show in the morning, which will have more.

That all said, I'm ultimately really pleased with my spot, and it's really amazing what a new time slot can do for the morale and energy of a show. Each time my time slot has changed, it has taught me a little bit more about what kind of DJ I am.

All right, onto the list!

You are smart:

1. Horowitz: Dear Lord, that man could play the piano. 
2. First chunk: The beginning of the show just felt absolutely amazing. I've never had a 9-noon show before, and the energy after eating breakfast and coming straight to the station is amazing. I'm more of a morning person, so that helps, but even so, I think that the first 30 minutes solid felt awesome.
3. Pokemon: Always a good decision.

You are dumb:

1. Talking over Tom: I'm sorry KMFR. I didn't mean to talk over Tom Waits. I really don't know what possessed me. Please forgive me.
2. Less layering: I think it's fine when I layer less, but sometimes I think, "Someday when you can't do freeform radio anymore, you're going to kick yourself for not layering everything all the time.
3. Shostokovich/Huun Huur Tu Layer: Usually I'm pretty satisfied with my layers, but...this time I'm not so sure. It was a bit...off.

See you soon for another back-update! 

Open Sign-Up #2/Sounds of the Sub-Continent #1 - 5/6/12

So I went into the station with the intention of playing freeform, because it's open sign-up, right? Well, that didn't seem to sit well with the guys there, and said that a lot of people would get angry if I didn't play the regularly scheduled programming of Sound of the Sub-Continent. I didn't really think anything of this, because my gut reaction is, "Don't tell me what to do. I play what I want. This is WCBN." Immediately after thinking this though, and hitting play on my interview with Sahar, I got a call from a listener who wanted to know when the schedule changed, and when Sounds of the Subcontinent was on now. Kind of surprised I told him it hadn't gone anywhere, but that it was open-sign up, and that I would play some Sounds after the interview.

That's when I really realized how much people love us, without us knowing it sometimes. That man probably tunes in every week to hear Sounds of the Subcontinent, and he probably doesn't get to listen to Indian music most of the week otherwise. The moral I learned is that people are listening whether you think they are or not.

Also, I previously wrote a review for Sahar Nouri's master's recital, and here is the interview that I conducted with her!

Freestailo #32 - 4/25/12

Hey, heavenly monkeys.

So I was hanging out with my friend Sohpie, and I flat-out asked her, "What theme should I have for my show in an hour?" And she said, "Monk." She meant Thelonious Monk, but that sprung both of us into a series of song suggestions regarding monks and monkeys. Then she suggested "Flowers" for the second topic, and this is how this show exists.

I big contribution to this show in particular was you. Yes, YOU. I had quite a few calls with suggestions for the theme, and I don't think I could have kept the theme going without it. It's moments like those that makes me realize how important listeners are, if I ever forget.

[Artist: Song - Album]

1. Thelonious Monk: Blue Monk - At The Five Spot
2. Arctic Monkeys: Piledriver Waltz - Suck It And See
3. Pixies: Monkey Gone To Heaven - Doolittle
4. Monks of Doom: Eldridge Street - Soundtrack to the Film "Breakfast on the Beach of Deception"
5. Recorded by David Lewiston: Explorer Series - Festival of the Himalayas
6. Dust Bros.: Space Monkey - Fight Club OST
7. Gorillaz: Phoner To Arizona - The Fall
8. Misha Mengelberg Quartet: Monk's Mood - Four In One
9. Coin: Monkey Kunckles - Architects of Character
10. The Budos Band: Monkey See, Monkey Do - The Budos Band
11. The Monks: Monk Time - Black Monk Time
12. Matthew Dear: Monkey - Black City
13. Joanna Newsom: Monkey And Bear - Ys
14. Yuka Tsujiyoko: Flower Fields Rondo - Paper Mario OST
15. Einstürzende Neubauten: Blume - Strategies Against Architecture III
16. Andrew Bird: Fatal Flower Garden - The Swimming Hour
17. Animal Collective: In The Flowers - Merriweather Post Pavilion
18. Regina Spektor: The Flowers - Soviet Kitsch
19. Air: Cherry Blossom Girl - Talkie Walkie
20. Anamanaguchi: Flora/Fauna - Power Supply
21. Neutral Milk Hotel: The Kind of Carrot Flowers Pt. One - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
22. Urata Keishi: A Flower Without A Glimmer Of Kindness - Texhnolyze: Music Only Music But Music
23. Cibo Matto: Flowers - Pom Pom The Essential Cibo Matto
24. Victoria De Los Angeles & Miriam Pirazzini: Flower Duet (Il cannone del porto!") - Puccini: Madama Butterfly
25. The Monochrome Set: Wallflower - Chaps
26. unkonwn: Flower blossoming maidens' burdock's root dish - R.O.D. the TV OST
27. Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra: Waltz of the Flowers - Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Suite

Monkey Do:

1.  Themes: I've said this before, but having themes is a great way to connect a set, and having two themes was a great way to have a variety of sounds. As I was listening, the change from Monks to Flowers was clear, and created a whole new soundscape.
2. Paper Mario: Video game music really makes me happy in general, but Paper Mario is a game very dear to my heart, and it's always a pleasure hearing waves of MIDI goodness streaming over the airwaves. 
3. Joanna Newsom: Apparently many more people have love for Joanna Newsom than I thought. Immediately when I said that the topic was Monks/Monkeys, my friend Sophie gave me this song, and I got 2 calls about it! Thus, I had to play it, even though it ran into the flower set a bit.

Monkey Don't:

1. I honestly don't have a lot of bad things to say about this show. Perhaps I could have layered somethings, but I don't regret a thing. 

Finally catching up on updates! Stay tuned!

I feel like a horrible, horrible friend for having waited so long to post this for you. I really do. But I have a few good excuses:

1. My senior recital
2. Graduation
3. 40-hour a week job
4. Catching up on a year's worth of sleep

Maybe only a couple of those are valid, but either way, I'm finally able to update this bad-boy.

By Ray Young Chu

Dinosaurs were a big part of the set today, and I want to explain something to all of you in regards to this request: I want more. I want more requests like this. I love specific song requests, that's great, artist requests too, but my favorite game to play in the WCBN library is, "Find the Theme." Even if you don't hear the theme viscerally in the music, it helps me to link my entire set together, and give it an extra punch. You know how you can request themes, my friends? In order of certainty:

1. Call the station: (734) 763-3500
2. Post on my Facebook page
3. E-mail me

And if I don't get it, then you've given me a new theme for next week! 

[Artist: Song - Album]

1. Xiu Xiu: Boy Soprano - The Air Force
2. Pyramaze: A Beautiful Death - Immortal
3. Secret Twins: Dead Heart - Ill Fit
4. Xeno & Oaklander: Ransack - Vigils

12. Busdriver: Swandive into a Drinking Glass - Beaus $ Eros
13. Count Basie & Sarah Vaughn: You Go To My Head - Count Basie & Sarah Vaughn
14. Gary Graffman: Schumann: Romance in F-Sharp, Op. 28, No. 2 - Graffman Plays Schumann

24. Machetazo: Muerte Helada - Mundo Cripta
25. Antony And The Johnsons: Daylight And The Sun - The Crying Light

Oh friend oh!:

1. Xiu Xiu: I need to listen to more Xiu Xiu for xiure, but "Boy Soprano" in particular will always be stuck in my head. The kinds of instrumental layering that Xiu Xiu does is just insane, and I feel like I'm listening to a Salvador Dali painting.
2. Dinosaurs!: Thank you, listener, for requesting songs about dinosaurs. I had a lot of fun finding songs, and I got a couple of good requests from other DJs and listeners for songs to play. It's like a game for me, so thanks for playing along. Charlie the Unicorn in particular was a lot of fun to listen back to.
3. Schumann: That Romance in F-Sharp was definitely one of my favorite moments on the entire set, and it truthfully made me stop what I was doing and listen.

No friend no!:

1. Romance With You: Perhaps this was so bad it was good, but I really feel it was just baaaad.
2. Johnny Cash: I can only say I liked it because it was Johnny Cash. Nothing else. 
3. Too Two Xiu Xiu: I hadn't forgotten that I had played Xiu Xiu at the beginning of the set, but for some reason I felt compelled to play another Xiu Xiu song.

See you next time!
