Willkommen, Leute! Ich habe classische Musik gespielt. Ich hoffe es klingt gut für euch. 

I thought that it would be a simple matter to put classical music together for a 3-hour show, but oddly enough, it wasn't. Despite being a classical music major, and despite being able to play music easily in freeform style, classical music seemed to elude me this day. It was an interesting challenge, and one that I hope to repeat in the future. It requires such a great knowledge of classical music to do a show like this, and I really respect Peter for doing it every week, and I think that WCBN is truly lucky to have someone like him with us. 

I played a lot of opera, a lot of choral works, and a lot of lieder on this show, and I'm not sorry. I'm glad that I could share it with you, and I really hope that you enjoy it, because this is the music that I love.

Fortuna:

1. Rainer Maria Rilke: Someday I will read something other than Rainer Maria Rilke, but this was a request from one of my favorite listeners, and I'm so glad that I stuck with it. Later in the night I had an older German man call in--I think he said he was a professor in the German department here at the university--and said that he was brushing his teeth and absolutely loved hearing the poetry I read so early in the morning!
2. Der Rosenkavalier: This is a great recording of the final scene/trio, with three really amazing singers. I'm so happy to be able to play it for you, and I highly suggest that you look up the opera to watch sometime. 
3. Nutcracker Suite: I love this. I don't care if you've heard it a million times this holiday season. I'm not sorry I played it again.

Non Fortuna: 

1. Too much Little Women: Ugggh sorry about that. I really didn't realize I had played so much Little Women until I got to the last Little Women track I played. I will be more conscientious of that in the future.
2. Silence between tracks: Right at the beginning I played Handel's Royal Fireworks, but it was on a CD, and the space between tracks was just too much. In the future I will check how much space is in between tracks, or try to cover it up with some layering. 
3. Checking sets of tracks: So apparently on some classical CDs, they will list a piece, and then something like "1-3" which I have now learned means "tracks 1-3 are this piece." But before I realized that, I played the 2nd movement of Sonatine Bureaucratique. 
4. EDIT: Facebook sounds! It's no secret to my friends that I will chat on Facebook about what I'm playing, and take requests the same way, but this time I forgot to close Facebook before I played a song off of the computer! Oops. 

Thanks for listening to my all classical show, and I hope that you get to hear another classical show in the future!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FREESTAILERS!

Click on this picture. It moves.

This is the beginning of a long night for me, and I had a lot of fun spending the beginning of the New Year with you. Like I said over and over again on the show: I can't think of a better way to spend my year than doing the radio thing, and playing music for all of you. They say that what you do on New Year's is what you'll do the rest of the year, and I hope that's true, because that means that I'll be spending a lot more time with you via the airwaves.

Another great way to spend New Year's is with friends, and I'm lucky enough that one of my roommates and one of my good friends came to the station with me to help me pick out music and stay with me a bit. I also was welcomed by three other DJs in the studio when I arrived to the station after my friend's New Year's party. Thus the Beatles song I played first. 

Another thing: I dressed up for y'all. Do you realize that? I was decked OUT, kids. Dress, heels, make-up...the works. Came straight from a New Year's party to DJ for you. Because I love you.

At The Party:

1. Regina Spektor: It's always a pleasure playing Regina Spektor, but I try to restrain myself so that I don't overplay her. 'Bobbing for Apples' is the perfect New Year's song, in my opinion. I don't know why. 
2. Interludes: I like that I used smaller interludes at various times. Wow, that's kind of vague. Specifically, I like the "Moon's Destruction," "Evolution," and Bioshock interludes that I used. I think it added a bit of momentum to the show, and kept me entertained. 
3. Marathon Time: This is part one of my New Year's Marathon, and I think it's pretty good for a long night, right? 

Not At The Party: 

1. Skins Mess: Wow, so I really didn't mean to play the beginning of the episode of Skins. I meant to find the perfect scene right in the middle to play for you to make a beautiful layering experience. For some reason though, it didn't register with me that when I started to play Skins, Irony of Fate would stop playing. Derp de derp. 
2. Transitions: Just a bit off I think. Nothing horrible, but not perfect. 
3. Just a bit off...: I can't explain it, but I feel like I just wasn't TOTALLY on my game. I made little flub ups that aren't really worth listing here. 

Stay tuned for part two of my New Year's Marathon Extravaganza AKA Heidi DJs for 6-straight-hours yaaaaay!

So about those posts...

Hey guys. I'm really sorry for not getting those posts up in any kind of timely manner. I've had half-written posts sitting around for about a week, but I didn't have as much time to go on the internet and post them as I thought I would while I was in Turkey, so...you're getting them like tonight. And if I fall asleep (which might happen because I'm jetlagged) then you'll get them tomorrow morning.

I've failed you! I'll be better about that.

6 O'Clock Shadow #1 - 12/16/11

Hey future CBNers.

Have you ever heard of the "6 O'Clock Shadow" on WCBN? The idea is that for one hour, a friendly DJ (like yours truly), does an hour of freeform and waits for a few guests to come knocking on the station's shady, metal door so that prospective DJs might try picking some music out and get a feel for how it's done. You call. I let you in. You come pick out ANYTHING YOU WANT. I play it. It also gives you a chance to talk to the DJ and ask them ANYTHING YOU WANT.

Today I also had a guest, who is my mother. Who picked out a few of the songs, like Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross. She took a lot of pictures too. Unfortunately for her, I was really busy pretty much the entire hour, and was running around constantly because I ended up playing a bunch of short songs. BUT I think the set came out really well because of it!

[Artist: Song - Album]

1. Marvin Gaye: Dream Of A Lifetime - Dream Of A Lifetime
2. Dan Deacon: The House I Was Isn't My Girlfriends Porsche - Silly Hat vs. Egale Hat
3. Sounds of the Tropical Rain Forest in America
4. Black Joe Lewis: I'm Gonna Leave You - Scandalous
5. Randy Grief: Sneezing and Howling - Alice in Wonderland pt. 3
6. Ella Fitzgerald: Cottontail - Duke Ellington Songbook
7. Heartbeat of Africa: African Bird Sounds - Heartbeat of Africa
8. Angela Hewitt: English Suite No. 1 in A major BWV806 - Bach: the English Suites
9. Metro: A pénz - Well Hung
10. Fred Houn and the Afro-Asian Music Ensemble - We Refuse to Be Used and Abused
11. Tuvan singers: It Began With An Echo - Heart of Tuva
12. Eugene Mirman: Hello My Name Is Trevor - God is a 12-year-old Boy With Asperger's
13. KMFDM: I Can't Reject This Empty Hole - The Juke-Joint Jezebel: The Giorgio Moroder Mixes
14. Cee Lo Green: I Want You - YouTube
15. Diana Ross: Doobedood'ndoobe, Doobedood'ndoobe, Doobedood'ndoo - Everything Is Everything
16. Wordsound I-Powa: Dungeon of Dub - Axiom Dub - Mysteries of Creation
17. Anna Oxygen: Scientist - All Your Faded Things
18. Otis Rush: You Don't Have To Go - Lost in the Blues 

I Want You:

1.  Transition from Houn to Tuvan singers: As I was layering these tracks, I literally could not distinguish the two aurally. I had to simply watch for the first track to end to know which sounds had stopped. These are the moments for why I'm a DJ.
2.  Marvin Gaye: Thank my mom for this actually. I asked her if she wanted to her anything in particular and she said Marvin Gaye. 

I Don't Want You:

1. Doobedoobedoobedoobedobedoo...: I am not joking when I say this is the longest title to a song that I have ever seen or entered into the playlist, and I hope that I never see anything longer. This was horrible to type in. Maybe I could have stuck with one "Doobedood'ndoobe," but I'm dedicated to you, listeners. 
2. There's not enough to hate about this. Deal with it.

I hope you like it! And if you want to DJ, shoot me an e-mail. I'd be glad to point you in the right direction.

Hey lovers.

I know it took a really long time, and that Christmas has past, and for failing you in that regard, I am truly sorry. The thing is, is that I've been in Istanbul for the past week, and didn't have internet as consistently as I thought I might. But please feel no guilt when you listen to the Christmas songs included on the playlist, because it's my fault, not yours, and you deserve more Christmas music than the year allows.

This episode of "Robot Pasta" turned out to be pretty fun, because I also had a guest with me who is training to become a DJaaaaaay! Cool, right? His name's Cameron, and he chose out a lot of the material you see before you. I won't tell you what, so you'll just have to listen.

Also, you will notice a handful of dub-step artists on the playlist, so for those that asked for it, you're welcome. Now that I know that there's a need for dub-step, I'll keep searching it out in the library.

--. --- --- -..

1.  Morse code: This was definitely the highlight for me. I was practically doing backflips when I saw that we had a morse code sound effect LP, and started playing it immediately. I actually had a listener call in and ask if there was something wrong with our system, or whether it was intentional.
2. Duke's Nutcracker Suite: Mmm this was absolutely delicious for my ears. I'm sad that it has to go back into the reaches of the Christmas collection, otherwise I would play it all the time.
3. Dexter's Lab: Do you remember this show?! Because Cameron and I did. I even remember this will.i.am song. And the music video. I miss Cartoon Network. I miss having cable...anyway. This is genius and I was literally screaming in the studio while it was playing.

-... .- -..

1. Osborne meets Little Red: I'm really unsure about this. I had a very uncomfortable feeling the whole time this was playing. How did it make you feel?
2. F*** up: Yup, I think I played an FCC. And by "I think," i mean that I definitely played an FCC. I tried to correct it as quickly as I could after I heard it, but that's hard sometimes. 

I usually try to have three things for each category, good and bad, but I thought this was a pretty good show besides those few things I mentioned. C'est la vie. Keep listening folks! Give me comments if you can!

Radiozilla #1 - 12/11/11

I recently got drafted into the Radiozilla rotation list, guys. Radiozilla is WCBN's all Japanese music show. Does that seem oddly specific? Maybe it is, but I really don't care, because I could play this stuff all day.

There's not much else to say except that I had a fantastic time searching through the WCBN library for the Japanese stuff. There was a list of Japanese musicians that I was e-mailed beforehand so that I wasn't so overwhelmed (which is really a life-saver), but throughout my search I also found a lot of other names that weren't on the list, so I'm really excited to do another Radiozilla show!

1. Polysics: I love all things by Polysics. They were one of the first Japanese bands I ever listened to. 
2. Yoko Kanno: Always a pleasure, m'dear. I'm so obsessed with you.
3. Tenchi Muyo Christmas: I used to watch Tenchi Muyo alllll the time when I was a kid. It was one of my first animes actually, and I would sometimes watch it with friends who had taped it off of Cartoon Network so I wouldn't miss it. Haha! 

Not so fantastic cats:

1. Nothing: This was perfect. Practically. Also, it was just too short to mess up.

This was a long night for me guys, because guess who has exams this week. This guy. Truthfully, as I was DJing, I was also trying to glue tiny print-outs of photographs for my history of photography flash cards after an hour of sleep beforehand.

On the show I read the Edgar Allan Poe poem "The Bells" to go with the various bell-themed songs I played. I suggest you take another look at the poetry if you like it.

I really have very little to say about this show, except that I'm happy that I got to play some Christmas music, and I really hope that you like it.

Santa Claus is coming to town...:

1. Bells: I think that the entire "bells" section of my show was very interesting, and I think that it took an interesting direction, and one that I didn't expect. I like the story that I told by doing this. Thanks for my friend Sophie for inspiring this!
2. Cassette Town: I used a cassette guys! My first cassette use ever! And it sounded REALLY GOOD. Cassette's are higher quality than I thought. 
3. Mexicali Brass: Dayum, this is good stuff. I can't wait to play more. 

You better watch out...:

1. Bells: I love and hate what I did with the "bells" section of my show, to be honest. I love Carol of the Bells, and I'm glad I had a story to share with you, but my choice to play Rachmaninoff's "The Bells" without any layering whatsoever is dubious though. What do you think?
2. Not enough layering: I don't know what was wrong, but I was not feeling the layering tonight. I'm so sorry. I hope you will still listen to my show.

Gib mir feedback!
