Radio Show August 13 2009 Details

Well my official debut got off to a rocky start with some technical difficulties, but none the less went great. I got to play most of my playlist, but decided not to take requests, since my normally hour long show was eaten up by a half hour of technical difficulties. If you liked anything you heard my playlist is as follows:

Intro Music:
Main Screen Turn On - PEET

Background Music:
Neurosis I - PEET
River Child (Kappa) - Ron Korb

Playlist:
Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Reeling - Passion Pit
Submarine - Björk
Deer In The Headlights - Loren Battle
The Sailing Song - PEET
Godspeed - Anberlin
Beat It - Michael Jackson

Tales From The Rising Sun words:

Kingyo - Goldfish

Umi - Ocean

Majikku - Magic

My friend’s band, Loren Battle, is going on a tour of the West Coast with Head, a former member of Korn, if you like Rock or Metal and they are in your area, I’d encourage you to see them play. If you mention you are friends with me, you’ll probably get the opportunity to hang out with them.

Also mentioned was a charity event I attended in the form of a kickball game pitting local Arizona radio DJs Johnjay and Rich against the Jonas Brothers. Several other celebrities participated in this event. Admission was free and it was a fun event.

Here are some links to more info and pictures about the event.

In my “Tales From The Rising Sun” segment I mentioned Ponyo,  a new film by Hayao Miazaki that is being released in the United States through Disney. The movie is about a young and magical fish girl, who stumbles into the care of a young boy while trying to escape from her oppressive father. I had the pleasure of watching the original version of the movie in Japanese with English subtitles and would highly reccomend watching the movie in theaters when it comes out tommorrow (August 14th 2009).

Here is a trailer for Ponyo.

Finally, my next show will consist entirely of music by bands I have seen live, and I would encourage requests to be from bands my listeners have either seen or like to see live. That is all the information I have for you guys today! Have a good day and thanks for listening!
