DJ Diva: Recent Episodes
My new guilty pleasure: watching the Guild. This webisode by Felicia Day is highly entertaining. It also has an awesome selection of music. I bought The Main Drag’s “Yours as Fast as Mine”, after listening to “Love During Wartime” at the end of a Guild episode. It’s a beautiful, glitchy pop song.
And I was tickled by the Guild’s music video.
Hot stuff!
Just upgraded to WordPress 2.7. Playing around with what’s under the hood.
Coming up for my Aural Fixations: Counting down to the New Year with an episode about Numbers. Got any requests? Leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
Ciao!

Last July, we saw this fab group playing outside of a Cajun restaurant in Berkeley: Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen on Shattuck. Good food and tunes.

Earlier this week, the Alanis Crow Project rocked out on our morning show. They specialize in covers of songs by Alanis Morissette & Sheryl Crow.

Those Alanis songs brought me back to my Senior year in high school. I remember sitting outside of the Drama classroom for lunch. Some of my friends talked about nabbing tickets for her concert. Another friend was trying to stay in her relationship with one of the guys who had a pair of tickets. I think I signed my boyfriends yearbook with Alanis lyrics. Wow. That was a long time ago.

My next podcast from California and I remixed a new open/theme song for Queenkv’s Aural Fixations. The Wizard of Oz quote is a nod to my last 2 years in Kansas. Call and Response’s Rollerskate is a nod to my roots in college radio. It was one of the first songs on my playlists for KALX Berkeley. Good times.

This is my first podcast in a while. We just moved back to California. It’s lovely to be in my home state and closer to my friends and family. This episode has some great tracks by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. There’s also some love for Kansas: my home for the last two years.
