My work friend and MySpace pal James keeps his metal CD's coming, and I dig it! It spurred another three hour long music auditioning session, I throw the best on the radio station. Listed below are tonight's uploads.
Overall, it was a struggle tonight selecting new music for the radio station all week. Not a lot of stuff appealing to me all of a sudden. I pick the dark horse on the bunch to be the Rob Zombie. The one I fear could be a dud is the black metal (a really weird genre) song by Lord Belial. I got the biggest kick from listening to "Falso Amor" by Sumaj Rumi, an Andean Folklorico song. Most of my listeners would dig that one, too.
The Brother Resistance song is part of an expensive quest to find music selections played on the early 90s KPFA (Pacifica) radio program "Rhythm Drive", the Wednesday edition with David McBernie, a Trini DJ who still plays Soca Calypso music from the annual carnival down there called, uh, Trinidad Carnival. I recorded his show to a cassette tape and played it over and over and over, and I lament that in Calypso time, that music is so old, not even the genre exists anymore! They're now doing this dancehall crap with violent lyrics - no steel drums at all. But going back to the early 90s Soca music, one of the best songs was this Brother Resistance song just joyously ranting Trini-style about all the usual goings on, joblessness, poverty and hunger. The version David played on his show wasn't the one I was seeking, but it's a nice version from a greatest hits compilation from Germany.
I have to work all week and I'm currently missing the Fresno Lesbian Gay Bi Transgender Film Festival, as usual. I'm wondering of any of the great festival flicks can viewed online.
