I had a lot of fun putting this week’s Last Dance at the Death Disco together! I’ll do another one of these around WMBR’s fundraising time (November-ish).

Playlist: 2010-07-05 NEWORDERedition ♫

New Order is dead! Long live the New Order!

2 hours of music by and produced by the members of New Order (Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert, and Phil Cunningham). Yes, this means you’ll be hit by the monstrosity that is Revenge’s Pineapple Head (that is, Peter Hook takes a break from NO after Temptation and creates an album who’s cover is 100x better than its contents). But we also played some classic Be Music produced (that is, Sumner, Hook, and Morris produced) dance hits (52nd Street, Quando Quango, …) and various other side projects. We didn’t get to Bad Lieutenant or Freebass this time around, but we’ll likely do a version of this show again.

You can download or stream this online from WMBR.org

Consider last week’s Last Dance at the Death Disco a ‘part 1’ to tonight’s ‘part 2’.

Playlist: 2010-06-21 A Day and Night at the Beach ♫ 

The beach was never my thing as a kid. It’s only now, as an adult with a job and a house and responsibilities that I can truly appreciate what the beach means. There’s some ‘chillwave’ in here, and some ‘glo-fi’. You might think it’s trendy. If thinking about being broke and jobless and trying not to think about it is trendy, so be it. Let’s just go to the beach and relax.

Also, I think I was too out of it for this to come across on the air last night. Instead we pleaded for attention by offering free concert tickets that no one wanted.

Martin Dupont - It’s So

My unofficial (because I didn’t think of it earlier) band of the month.

Originally from Marseilles, France, and that’s all I know. I don’t speak French, so I’ve been unable to get much info about the band online, other than their LP Just Because from 1985 is amazingly good, and their earlier tracks are much more minimal than this.

EGG CITY RADIO’S POST-PUNK FILM FEST 2!!!!

via lastdancedeathdisco:

I’ll be damned if I ever say I want to go to LA (and I’ll be double-damned if I ever willingly go there) but this is just not fair! If I didn’t have a job and turned my radio show into a full-time thing, I would totally do this for Boston.

That said, anybody in Boston/Cambridge want to do something like this for our little city?
