So they finally let the Audiobooks Editor have a slot on the radio! I kid. The guys had been trying to convince me to do EVR for months–I just had to get my confidence up to an appropriate level. Stage fright is a bitch. Anyway, check out the show here. My general theme was “here [...]

Hey! It was my week to helm the EVR show and, after several botched/lackluster shows earlier, I finally emerged with a show I feel good about! Forgive the horn-tooting. Anyway. This is what I played, and you can hear it here.
The Veils, “Sit Down by the Fire”
St Vincent, “Actor Out of Work”
Kate Bush, [...]

My show this week really is about my “youthier” times (thank you for that term S. Marbury, I use it often.)  I got mega nostalgic pulling the songs to play and even more so playing them in order. Technical issues prevented me from playing fully hard core to twee back and forth, but you get [...]

Hello! A little slow on the uptake today as I’m a little under the weather. This week was my week on eMusic’s East Village Radio show which you can hear here. I wanted to start with a shocker so, you know, hide the kids! Enjoy!
Lucille Bogan, “Shave ‘em Dry”
Max Romeo, “Wet Dream”
Hortense Ellis, [...]

Late/very important date etc
I finally got to do one!
….Truthfully, as you hear me allude to in this show’s opening moments, I HAD one scheduled and basically whiffed that one on every level possible. Eternal chagrin. On the upside, I had more time to cobble together my playlist! Super, super fun, and I hope someone out [...]

This week was my week on our 17 Dots East Village Radio show which, as always, you can listen to here. I was feeling kind of somber, so the show opens mad slow. So it goes, tho, so it goes. After the cut is a full rundown.

This was my first time in the actual EVR studio so there may be a few hiccups. I decided to do a melodic punk/power pop/garage rock show, which was super fun but also involved me running around the (tiny) booth like a maniac since punk songs are all two minutes long. It was a sauna [...]

I helmed EVR#21, which you can hear here.
Æla, “Ekki Snerta Mig”
Polvo, “Fractured (Like Chandeliers)”
Pussy Galore, “Dick Johnson”
Cut Off Your Hands, “Expectations”
Galaxie 500, “Parking Lot”
New Villager, “Rich Doors”
Let’s Go Naked, “Hudson”
The Go-Betweens, “Dusty in Here”
Hurray for the Riff-Raff, “Daniella”
Bob Justman, “Alone Tonight”
Scott Walker, “Man From Reno”
The Beach Boys, “Tears in the Morning”
Jenifer Avila, “Fichas de [...]

This week on East Village Radio I run through a number of recent hits added to the site, as well as some big, anticipated releases like M. Ward and Junior Boys. There’s some great stuff in here.
One thing I need to mention is that from now on, our show will only be streaming. EVR will [...]

This is my second stab at an EVR show and — oops! — it’s kind of a downer again. I wanted this one to skew a bit more “cold yet pretty,” so some clean electronic music, stark folk stuff… along those lines. I also would never normally include two [...]

Hey there! Back from a vacation in Iceland and ready to tackle the New Year, this week’s EVR show is a fun and goofy one, with lots of amazing new music. Since EVR’s podcasting has been temporarily turned off, we’re hosting the show over at Mediafire. You can stream it here. Or you can right [...]

So a common — and growing — complaint has been that it’s hard to get our East Village Radio show files, especially after the podcast feed abruptly died a month or two ago. (The podcasting stopping was a decision made by EVR to help get ready for a brand-new site they are launching in March. [...]

I (happily!) handled duties on this week’s EVR show. I decided to steer clear of the metal this week, instead focusing on an hour of indie rock and an hour of R&B. What I played below, the cut. Full show here.

I helmed a decidedly non-New Year’s-themed EVR show this week. You can download it here (though it sounds like our show starts a good 6 – 7 minutes into that mp3). Playlist after the jump!

I took a quick break from counting down the best albums of 2008 by putting together a holiday-themed mix this week. The show starts off with a handful of recent favorites — great tracks I have stumbled across — and then moves into an 80-minute DJ mix of pop songs and holiday songs and some [...]

The countdown continues today, with more music from our list of the 88 best albums of the year. This week we get up to #35. For an MP3 of the show, right click

I can’t start making a habit of being so tardy with these things! Sorry for the lateness, but here’s the rundown of what got played on our East Village Radio show last week. These artists should look familiar, as we’re counting down the best albums of the year by playing a track from each selection. [...]

Here’s what we had for you over the Thanksgiving holiday. For an MP3 of the show, right click

Did you miss us?
Yes, 17 Dots has been down again for the last few days but we’re back and, as Gene once put it, fighting fit.
First things first: last Thursday was the eighth (!) installment of our East Village Radio Show and, to complement our Afrobeat hub we decided to focus exclusively on African music. [...]

This week on our East Village Radio show, I busted out a ton of new songs from great up and coming artists, most of whom are already available on eMusic. Pay particularly close attention to Rainbow Arabia — my newest obsession — as well as Stricken City, which is also awesome. We touch on Halloween [...]
