Show # 133 – The Harder They Fall

It is sooo cold in Chicago…not sure how I’m gonna get through this snap. Actually, I’ve been thinking a lot about the guy I met outside the Starbucks this morning who was carrying his sleeping bag and other possessions with him. I don’t think health care reform is on his mind as much as when he can get back into the shelter to lay down his stuff and thaw –if there’s room for him there.

This week I’m playing more soundtrack for the revolution. Non-partisan grooves and psycho-sensual head music to energize us for the ongoing battle against greed and self-interest. You on board? I’ve got lots of new stuff from Wooden Shjips, The Comas, Four Tet, Beach House, and others to play for you, plus the usual assortment of old favorites and surprises from my closet of dark memories and childhood neuroses.

Tune in this Friday at 1 pm (Chicago time) – 88.9 fm on the IIT main campus, and streaming live everywhere you can get a signal at www.radio.iit.edu

-mixing for the planet since 2005,

sorry…but I plan to be at the controls next Friday.

Show # 132 - Many Happy Returns

Hey - welcome me back. This Friday will be my first show of the new decade. And I have lots of new stuff to play for you, including the best jams and psychedelia from 2009, songs to help us remember Vic Chesnutt, and more melancholic fun than you should have on a cold January afternoon in Chicago.

Come dampen your spirits with me this Friday at 1 pm (Chicago time) on the radio dial at 88.9 fm (if you’re on the IIT main campus) or streaming out to the world - live - at www.radio.iit.edu

In the room with the low ceiling, and a definite bad attitude (same as it ever was) -

From the official Fania Records home page (www.fania.com):

“El Caobo” brings us this outstanding mix of Christmas tracks. During this time of the year, everybody will enjoy this mix as much as we have already been during the past few days. It’s been such a pleasure to have this mix on our podcast from one of the top Salsa dj’s in the world.

“El Caobo” is a premier tropical musician specializing in SALSA/MAMBO, as well as a DJ and radio host. He is also a proud authorized Fania Records and West Side Latino/Seeco Records representative. As such, he has traveled to cities across the United States (including the cradle of salsa: New York City) to share what he affectionately calls “salsa de la mata” with clubs filled with very receptive audiences of eager SALSA/MAMBO dancers!

El Caobo currently hosts three fully bilingual radio shows at three different college radio stations: the Illinois Institute of Technology (7 years), the University of Chicago (2 years) and the University of Illinois-Chicago (1 year). All three shows are called El Tornado Tropical con El Caobo and all stream live on the Internet. Two of his shows also air on the FM dial in Chicago.

We’ve been gone for about a month and now we’re back, for two shows at least. We’re from 11am-Noon. 312-567-3088. The Bears miserable season continues with apparently no light at the end of the tunnel. Also, the latest on the Tiger Woods incident. Listen to the right of this post, if you can.
