summersend

I made a mix of sorts. It's for the end of the summer. Fall is nice in Portland. Fall is not nice in New England. I am in Portland. Phew.

Here's a link to the mix. I apologize that it takes more than 3 seconds to download. Should've made it a .zip file. Every day is a school day.

If you want a tracklist, you will have to ask me for one.

Go See These Shows

You have no excuses. Most of these shows are mad cheap. Listen to your favorite college radio station and win some tickets if you are broke. If they are sold out, just wait outside in the cold and look for a scalper. Stop being old and go.

p.s. All of the shows I list are in the Boston area or the Valley. That's where I go to see shows. In the future this list will be longer. I need to get away from the computer and go see Stars.

Wrapped in Plastic playlist 2/13/06

Another exceptionally long show that went until 1:30 am. Next week I'll be back to my normal time of 9pm-11:30pm. The show opened with the first half of the late Jay Dee's new album Donuts. It was the first, and probably last time you'll see me play more than one song by an artist on my show. The dude deserved some sort of tribute, though.

Welcome to the first posting of the Wrapped in Plastic blog. This is where you can find out what I played on my show most recently; get info on shows in the Valley and Boston areas; and see what I think about recent developments in music, art, and cinema. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to update a couple of times a week, but who knows. I know that I will definitely be posting playlists from Wrapped in Plastic, which airs every Monday from 9pm to 11:30pm on WMUA. If you are in the Pioneer Valley, tune in to 91.1 FM. If you are in the real world, listen live at www.wmua.org.
