first of all... what the hell is this lazy link thing?????????! omg!!!! :P *freaked out* anyway, today for the first time in the near 3 year history of my college radio show, i am playing someone else's selection. john book is a guy i handpicked because he is a scary record collector with even scarrier knowledge of and unique taste in music. so today's mix is 2 hours of funk, soul, rock, hawaiian music, novelty music, hip-hop, dancehall, and a tiny bit of techno (barely anything, just so you know). it's a really well done mix, fluid, highly thematic, and with lots of great edits, as john book is an instrumental hip-hop (think coldcut..) artist as well as a record collector. this lazy link thing is still freaking me out. i figured out that it's how many characters till the message is too big, but it just looks WEIRD! so, as usual, you can listen live with this link: (no relation to warp records) unlike every other show, i actually put the playlist online beforehand. if you don't sound so sure about this week's show, check the complete playlist. lots of obscure music but also some stuff you should know, and again, most of the songs i like a lot and very little of it is what i play normally. i'll be on air in 15 minutes, please post comments, i'm curious if people are appreciating what i'm doing this month with the guest mixes and this guy's selections in particular. i know not all of you listen to just IDM. ok, hope everyone's well, talk to you during the show/ |

I'll try and catch it. btw, the Lazy Link isn't anything to do with the character could it just pastes this <a href="http://LAZY_URL" target=blank>LAZY_TITLE</a> on the screen for you and you stick the address and titles and stuff in yo'self. |

yea i noticed that they're 2 different things and lazy link does.. what you said (not bad cos so many people here don't know html tags) overall nice improvements in the week i've been gone! i'll get used to it is the reply box background puke green color to anyone else? vaguely? the guys before me are total dorks.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep the box is a lot larger and darker. The changes were made just yesterday. |
||||||||
|
|

does this remind anyone else of early dj shadow? because almost everything in this mix was new to me (and half of the artists i'd never heard of) i'm not sure what is original and what is a product of john remixing.. anyway it's quite good lazy link lazy link lazy link |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
does that number on the webpage go into the studio? oh also i'm listening |
||||||||
|
|

cut chemist has worked with dj shadow. :) |
||||||||

can see why your thoughts turned to shadow. in/flux era stuff.. haha! nice use of ub40.. best ive ever heard them sound |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..so good. ? [what happened there?] |
||||||||
|

mc_303 you know what's funny, i didn't bring a printout of the tracklisting so i'm listening to it like anyone who has no clue what they're hearing.. i know who's in it but i don't remember the order and i'd rather not check (more fun this way). yea cut chemist has worked w/ shadow many a time nigel yes it's a direct line here in the studio |

it's been so long since i've heard your dreamy voice |

i reckon the tunes hes playing are even closer to the sound of the early dj food records (the 'jazz brakes' series) than they are to shadow. there used to be a really good unofficial shadow site a few years ago which had a samples page, where vinyl junkies contributed + compiled lists of the records shadow had sampled in all of his releases. from the early eps right through to the first unkle album. cant find it anywhere now though. im enjoying all this by the way. |

hey acrid guess what? JOHN BOOK RUNS THAT SITE NOW! the original dj shadow samples site owner gave him the site a year or two ago and now he runs it privately. the link isn't permanent because record companies were finding out about uncleared samples and suing shadow, but if you join the mailing list for the site you get the new link every week or two. good call on dj food, i hear the similarity there, too. seamless mixing between the cut chemist track and his own music as crut. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sweet.. i'd heard that that site was having to shift, pirate-radio style, on a regular basis. happy coincidence that john book is the man currently responsible for it's welfare though. i always found it really interesting. a lot of the samples you can spot yourself, but some just leave you stumped. thanks for the pointer. by the way, it must be nice sitting back and enjoying your own show! |

i'm tuned in fi nally! =0) yipes some of this stuff is OUT there |

yea i've never been so relaxed during my show, haha.. the only downfall is that eventually after all these guest mixes i'm going to miss picking songs for myself since i only have a couple months till the end of the school year. i might pick up someone else's show this month if they need a sub just so i can do a regular show, as cool as it is to have people make exclusive mixes for my show. SPEAKING OF, EVERYONE NAG DOBBIN TILL HE MAKES ONE! it's getting down to the wire. i hope people appreciate all the remixing, john used both software and turntables |

yup tis fat. nice to hear the dream warriors.. lots of memories from when that first came out. my girlfriend got a copy imported a year or two ago. this was definitely one of their best tracks though. th lp is pretty inconsistent. was first reminded of how great this tune is whe austin powers came out.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea that "my definition" song was hilarious, i wish i knew more about the group.. reminded me a little of stetsasonic but of course i recognized the music from austin powers.. here comes daddy freddy, the IDMers here may know him from the bug's album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Johnny Harris-Footprints On The Moon this is one of the BEST in the mix.. i don't know who the guy is but fantastic music.. i wonder if shadow sampled this or if he plans to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.. dream warriors.. and for 'my definition'.. the 'turn over the record' stuff was hilarious. some nice tunes in this mix. nice to hear your voice titsworth! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good ol' live radio.. thanks for the links and yea the turn over the record bits were hilarious and pretty clever the song that's on now was later interpolated by mos def on the black on both sides album, i think he sings this melody at the beginning of "mr. n***a" (see mos i didn't say it) anyone else really enjoying this mix? what do you think? like i said, almost none of this is stuff i'd normally play but i think it's excellent and well worth hearing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont know a lot about him, but ive heard some of his stuff before.. maybe this will help you learn more about .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no worries. im enjoying this mix. some stuff ive heard.. some stuff i own.. some stuff i haven't heard before.. but im liking it. not the kind of stuff i play regularly [enough?] but good to put on every now and again. i like this sax solo. reminds me of courtney pine's contribution to 'courtney blows' on soul2soul's '1990:a new decade' lp. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

12 minutes left i hope everyone's been enjoying what they've heard.. if you want to hear more of his own music (crut) or check out his record collection, music opinions, and free mp3s for each week (obscure record collector music, like 365 days project), go to my page and check the links |
