My hilarious, smart, close friends Ross the Intern (Ross Mann), Micah, and John have started a podcast titled “The Shortlisters.” On each of these episodes, the boys argue a topic and end up with a Top 5 “Shortlist” for that topic. They’ve had two episodes now, one on what to put in space capsules and one on things that are blue. This is one of the best things on the internet. Subscribe!

6 months ago, I began this blog so that I could make podcasts, practice mixing. While I’ve posted some several mixtapes, nothing after the original ‘cast. Now that I’m on vacation, time’s a-plenty. I’ve been thinking about ‘this one’ for a while now. It seems that last year’s chillwave movement — while it may have outlived GoogleWave — has officially become boring: utterly beached. Sun’s gone. Night’s come. Teen – age – Ice – age. and with this Night comes glimmering synths, handclaps & drummachines, croons. Consider Twin Shadow, who with his ’10/10′ Forget pulled it off all so well. With 2011, let’s usher in the overly sentimental, the too articulate. In 2011, let’s smile till it hurts.
Here are some new wave tracks from all around the world. I’ve used several from a selection of killer vietnamese/german new wave tapes I’ve come across since September as well as some perhaps more familiar selections. I’ve done some reversing, some sampling of my own, and had a wonderful time mixing it all together. It’s a blast. I hope you like it. Fill up your pencaps and Have a Happy New Year.

Okay, now I officially have a podcast. Subscribe to it here!
The only episode up right now is the one that I made last week. I’m thinking, for next week to do something with these wonderful old Bollywood hits I have on this computer. Stay tuned, although I’m not promising anything.
I’m still trying to figure out how to make a podcast, and this is supposed to be the first “show”. UB doesn’t have a radio station, and I was sort of hoping for one which was the main impetus for this experiment. I’m trying a few things out here: sampling, mixing, fashioning a theme that doesn’t necessarily have to do with the current season. For this one, I tried to compile tracks that use short vocal samples as the base of bigger pop jams. There are so many wonderful artists influenced by the Avalanches/the Field/J Dilla working lately, transforming 1-10 second RnB/Soul vocal samples into breathy, dark, lush pop songs. I’m such a sucker for them.
