This week had a really wide scope, starting with friend and classmate Monty Luke’s “Art of War” and going all the way through bossa nova covers of Burt Bacharach. It was a lot of fun to put together, and the coolest track was this one, by El Guincho, “Bombay.” It’s NSFW, but what the heck.Continue reading “Setlist, 16 October 2010”

Radio 1 Setlist, 2 October 2010
This week’s show was marked by a cold I managed to pick up either while traveling in Georgia or somewhere in town. But there was a lot of good music I managed to put together, including new songs by Everything Everything, Mads Larsen, Fyfe Dangerfield and Luanda, Angola’s Jazzmatica. And because the fall is wellContinue reading “Radio 1 Setlist, 2 October 2010”
Testing Twitterfeed
Hi, just testing my new Twitterfeed service. Nothing to see here. Move along…
Setlist, 4 September 2010
While I’m always sad to see the summer go, it seems that the fall is a rich time for new music. This week’s show had all kinds of new music (and new music I managed to get my hands on). The standout tracks this week were Cee-Lo’s “Georgia,” Andreya Triana’s “Lost Where I Belong” andContinue reading “Setlist, 4 September 2010”
Setlist, 21 August 2010
It was really great to be back in the studio after 3 months of traveling. I think it was 11 countries in 10 weeks, which for me is a new record. Because I’ve been doing so much traveling, I decided that the first show back would be about summer traveling. Hence the playlist, which isContinue reading “Setlist, 21 August 2010”
Setlist: 1 May 2010
This week’s show mixed things up more than I usually do, and I think that was the influence of Cibelle’s new album “Las Venus Resort Palace Hotel,” which itself is a pretty heady mix of styles and influences. One of the things I think Cibelle is trying to do with this record is to breakContinue reading “Setlist: 1 May 2010”
Setlist, 17 April 2010
I’ve been traveling a lot in the last few days, and managed to get back into Kafkaville from Tbilisi just before the volcano, so I didn’t have the opportunity to do my typical record shopping. Nevertheless I managed to get a few gems this week, including the new compilation “Osunlade Presents Yoruba Gold,” which isContinue reading “Setlist, 17 April 2010”
Setlist, 3 April 2009
This week’s show had a lot of new music. I’ve just gotten back from Berlin, so I had a head full of what I was hearing there, especially a lot of folktronica and older gems. Sia’s new single, “Clap Your Hands” is just excellent. Like “You’ve Changed,” the other single from the upcoming album, “WeContinue reading “Setlist, 3 April 2009”
Ada Lovelace Day: Doc. Ing. Zdena Rábová, CSc. (1936 – 2006)
Today is Ada Lovelace Day (www.findingada.com), which marks the contributions of women in technology. I was one of the thousands of bloggers worldwide to pledge to write something about women in tech, and I figured the best way to do this was to combine my interest in IT with my translation activities. The following textContinue reading “Ada Lovelace Day: Doc. Ing. Zdena Rábová, CSc. (1936 – 2006)”
Setlist, 20 March 2010
It’s finally starting to be spring here in Kafkaville, and this week’s show had a whole lot of the new releases that will most likely form the soundtrack of this summer. Of the new releases – and there were a lot – I really like the Gorillaz’ “Plastic Beach,” and the collaboration between David Byrne,Continue reading “Setlist, 20 March 2010”
