Episode 8

Hello again, my love.

As always, we're two episodes away from the Special Edition hour-long, so I will (as per tradition) give away a clue somewhere in this blog post. Additionally, the episode right before the special-edition will not ever contain the type of music focused on the hour-long. Make sense? Good. There will be a test on Friday, so know this stuff.

This episode contains a lot of variety, and I'm trying to avoid dumping more of my recent electronica fad on the show, but it does make a couple of cameos this week.

Wanna fix that problem and hear music YOU love? Post a comment below with an artist (song optional) and I'll put them on if I can. I haven't ignored a comment yet.

Our set list for this week is as follows:

"Playing with Fire" by N-Dubz (feat. Mr.Hudson)
"Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)" by lostprophets
"Watercolour" by Pendulum
"Kentucky Pill" by Johnny Flynn
"Fel del av Gården" by Movits!
"Suspect Device" by Stiff Little Fingers
"Sandstorm" by Darude

lostprophets and their new album info can be found here and on their MySpace.

Movits! are actually pronounced "moo-vites" so I'm gonna go wash my mouth out with soap. But you can see why I didn't try to pronounce the album: Äppelknyckarjazz. Yeah. They HAD to have made that one up just to screw with me.

And a cool fun fact about Darude is that sandstorm was a song he made with some basic software on his computer. A friend of his heard it and published it and it, of course, immediately became a hit. Literally a rags to riches musician. I'm just glad he made it the way he did.

Also, I'm trying to get the podcast on Zune Podcasts and Tune-In Radio, but they both are proving to be quite irritating. I'll post more info if I get any. (tee hee, get any)

So there's episode eight. Hope you all enjoyed. Right now I need to go and clean the grime out of my sink, but you didn't need to know about that. Okay then. Bye.
