Thu, 30 April 2009 Hi! Remember me, your friendly neighborhood podcaster? I know I have been a bad, bad monkey this year and haven't updated nearly as often as I promised myself, and worse less than I promised you. I am attempting to remedy that. I come bearing this peace offering of a NEW EPISODE. The title bears a bit of explanation.. aside from the obvious Dr. Strangelove reference. As some of you who may have been listening to the show since the olden days (1998) may remember from my old bio, I used to be Goth. While I still like some of that music, and maybe still retain some of the dress sensibilites now and again (I'm actually wearing black nail polish right now for the first time since 2000 that isn't a Halloween occasion); I left that scene long ago for one main reason. Music snobbery. It's ironic in a way that a sub-culture that prides themselves on being "different" is in fact no less cliquey than any other subculture. That's not to say it applies to everyone, I still maintain friendships with a handful of more open-minded people; but as a whole I got quite bored with the pompous attitudes where if you didn't like someone you weren't "Goth" enough or if you did like someone (who wasn't Goth; say "The Beatles") then you were a poseur. It seemed ludicrous to me as a music lover to narrow my tastes to such a level, esp. when I have the belief that all music evolves in some manner from the music that precedes it. Therefore Goth and Industrial, which has it's roots in Progressive, Punk, and Glam (and a smattering of others depending what you're listening to); really has no right to discount another style, esp. as without those preceeding movements it would otherwise not exist. Towards the tail end of my Goth period, for a short period of time on Tuesday nights, DJ Winston would host a night of non-Goth tunes but at ManRay (boston's now-defunct Goth mecca). It didn't last long because attendence was low, but it was one of the best times I had ever had at that club. It was the night that introduced me to Gary Numan (or at least songs beyond the hit "Cars" anyway) and T. Rex. He was the person who influenced me to see the film "Velvet Goldmine", and taught me it was OK to dance to the Beastie Boys even if I was draped in tafetta and wearing 5" platform boots. I could finally dust off all those CDs I had put into hiding, fearing people would judge me. I learned not to care what other people thought what I should like, and to just be myself. As part of this acceptance I also re-embraced house & techno (which I had liked in a previous incarnation as a raver in the early 1990s) as well as a whole slew of other styles, and haven't stopped learning to love new things ever since. It's one of the reasons some of these setlists have such varied genre: and to pay homage to that fact this setlist continues in that vein. One of my favorite club classics continues to be "The Bomb" by The Bucketheads from 1994. It inspired me to make this set (bomb themed) and as such contains a mix of various mixes of the song clocking in at about 12 minutes in the middle of the set. Setlist: 1) Time Bomb [Single Mix] by Royal Crescent Mob 0:00 2) Bombin' the L by Fun Lovin' Criminals 3:58 3) Atom Bomb by Fluke 7:09 4) The Bomber by Aphrodite 12:06 5) Twisted Bomb by Odesio & Fabio 16:03 6 - 8) "The Bomb!"
