Show notes
2006 comes roaring to a sudden hault, and with it another end-of-year three-part PopCast (LOVE POWER PEACE). As with the 2005 episodes, part 1 here focuses on the more dance-friendly of numbers. A soundtrack for your own little personal New Year's Eve party. There was no one in music more dance-friendly than the James Brown, so this episode goes out to him, no doubt telling everyone in the afterlife to Get Up!
So in this episode: The Godfather of Soul, Ghostface Killah (is back), Fujiya & Miyagi, Peter Bjorn & John, Hot Chip, The Whitest Boy Alive, Junior Boys, The Knife, Tiga/DFA, ...the hardest working man in show business...
I'll no doubt be borrowing from this tonight at the Green Room, where I'll be playing a midnight->2 set for an intimate New Year's celebration. Cover is a meager $5. No frills, no pressure; just lovely people, and lots of drinking and dancing.
Stay tuned for 33 and 34, showcasing local breakouts and the best of this year's moodier offerings, respectively.
Happy New Year!
