I worked on like a million things today, and this was the last one. I probably sound way exhausted at the end. So it goes. This was also the first show I uploaded via the new Podshow site, and it worked pretty well. Try the player if you wanna listen to it in a browser.

A lot of this stuff was picked up on the Podsafe Music Network, which has been picking up more and more decent hip-hop recently.

Update: Due to my utter laziness, I never made an enhanced version of this podcast - and I pushed the regular show through the feed. Next time I’ll be making sure to do it early, really sorry about that.

Electro/80s/new wave set you can’t beat. Damn the box.

Diva109 is my friend Erle William’s band, and this is the only song of theirs I heard. I love it; it may even have been the inspiration for this whole set. I don’t have a website for them, I don’t even have a band’s email address or any other tracks. Maybe soon!

Total Annihilation is a band I heard of on boingboing. The singer is a 10 year old robot, or something. They have a cover of Iggy Pop’s I Wanna Be Your Dog on their Myspace page.

All links are to information sites or places where you can purchase the track.

I made this mix earlier this morning - it’s amazing what a difference waking up early makes! Too bad I had to wait for FedEx all day.

I didn’t talk a lot in here (ok, at all), so I don’t have a lot of notes. But please consider downloading my otherhiphopsets if you liked this one. Which I know you did.

Best verse from this set:

It’s amazing when you stop and think about the times we’re living in
The government should hand out free shampoo with their conditioning
They’re calling all the master plans to hook their lines and sinkers
They captured all the fools and now they’re looking for the thinkers

it’s funny, because these things get both easier and harder as i do them. they get easier because i understand the software better, but they get much harder because i want to do more challenging things and am not sure how yet.

update: the enhanced show is up! subscribe to it here.

(*) - none of the versions of Since We Last Spoke by Rjd2 had the full 14 tracks that my version has, except here at Last.fm, if you’re interested. great album.

this is my first live set using podsafe tunes, using a real dj program instead of garageband. in this case it’s all hip hop, but it won’t always be. i’m only learning how to work with these applications, so more complex stuff will start coming out soon.

btw, there’s a decent amount of new material on this podcast - artists you probably have never heard legally on a podcast before (note boldface text below). if you have any labels whose material you would like to hear, ask them about podcasting their material! make it happen for podcasters doing this ish all over the world.

• alias - “divine disappointment” (iTunes)
• edan - “mic manipulator feat. mr lif” (Amazon)
• dopestyle 1231 - “size double d feat. del tha funkee homosapien” (iTunes)
• roots manuva - “witness (one hope)” (iTunes)
• RA the rugged man - “black & white feat. timbo king” (iTunes)
• outerspace - “151″ (Amazon)

please support these artists! big thanks to Big Dada and Nature Sounds, whose excellent artists (roots manuva and RA the rugged man, respectively) are included in this mix for the first time.

also, you’ll note i added all the iTunes/Amazon links to the albums (or tracks) on which you can find these songs. however, if you can think of another online site that i can link to that isn’t such a giant megacorp, by all means pick it up there, and let me know. i’d rather link to a smaller (yet reliable) site.

peace and holla back.

tonight, instead of a regular show, i put together a 49 minute mix of hip hop music, with just a touch of talking. i figure i can allow myself these every little while - i really enjoy the end result after working to find just the right tracks.

I’ve been working on a mixtape-type hiphop set since the last show, so I present that to you now. It’s not genius but it’s a lot of good, independent tracks, mixed fairly well by someone who’s just starting out doing this sort of thing. Let me know what you think.

Click here to listen.

You know, a year ago I would’ve been able to play none - zero - of the MCs I played on this podcast, but all of these recordings, less than a year later, are podsafe for IOYH. 100% legal. Check below for the artists; you may be surprised by who is included in the list.

Immortal Technique
Sage Francis
MF Doom
Living Legends crew
DJ Danger Mouse
Brother Ali
Ghostface Killah
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien
