ELECTRIC LADYLAND

Today's blurb is basically me sharing beat driven/electronic music I'm currently digging created by tha-tha-tha ladies! Lady producers that are really making me swoon and wanna dance. 

I don't have the time to really elaborate on who and why I chose what I chose, as this is going to be a work in progress playlist. I'll be digging and hounding for music to add and update... and pending the mood I'm in, it might get kinda cray-cray.
So if ya like beats and bloops, have Spotify and want to celebrate some women driven good vibes, then check out this playlist and feel free to follow it.
I'll also be adding links to a few tracks on Soundcloud, too. So look for those links below, yeah? Yeah!
Until I'm officially back on the airwaves, this is the most time efficient way for me to share musics. It's inspiring, even if I'm the only one getting anything out of it. I get inspired to find new music I've never heard and delve further into a variety of genres and obscurities.I'm hoping to add more live mixes straight from my little basement space in Portland, but need to do some space making first. So this is how I roll... for now. Enjoy!

Happy Un-Valentine's Day.

"Time counts and keeps countin', and we knows now finding the trick of what's been and lost ain't no easy ride. But that's our trek, we gotta' travel it." -Savannah Nix  from Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome

Hello Bastards.

You loveless, beautiful bastards.

Listen... I don't know what your deal is and I'm not even going to start pretending I do.
Maybe you are unable of feeling and giving love or maybe you are a love junkie... endlessly giving away your love, unrequited. Or perhaps you are in love with someone who is also in love with you, but for whatever reason(s) it's just not going to happen. Maybe? Maybe not.
Maybe you are roaming around in some giant, uncomfortably grey, heart churning badland.
Like Tina Turner in Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome, fighting your way against the odds of bad humanity and bad love!
You don't NEED another hero, but wouldn't complain having one... the right one.
Le sigh. Le bullshit.
So here comes February 14th. Stupid Valentine's Day, where lots of people make it something super duper special and everyone else scoffs at it. "Another Hallmark corporation driven bullshit holiday... forcing people to have unrealistic expectations of themselves and others!"  Well, truth. Word. Proper.
But admit it: deep down, like WAY deep down in that soul of yours you'd love someone to make you dinner, pop by all armored up with sweet kisses, or maybe bring you a small handpicked (from the neighbors yard) bouquet of herbs and flowers... something. Something special. Not just on February 14th, but any day/night would do. I'm projecting. I know this.
Is romance dead? Probably.
It's not like V-day was a gem of a history, either:

Romans were crazy!

So in lieu of this lovely/lonely time of year... I present the most soulful broken bastard mix ever.
Warning, not for the faint of swooning nor for the faint of music with soul. I handpicked this while mourning and lamenting my own romantic woes. This is the way it sounds. I'm a hopeless romantic, and surely not the only one...


SADBASTARDSENTERHERE


And for the heartbreakers out there, oddly enough I want you to keep on breaking hearts.
It makes for beautiful music.

Cheers, Bastards.

365+days later...

...and I'm back!

 I just started volunteering with Portland station KMUN. Soooo excited! I won't be doing radio broadcasting for a while yet, but I've already started hunting for music I would like to share.
I'll also be taking a few classes they offer: studio mixing, engineering, news reporting and a myriad of other radio station related classes. Pretty excited about that aspect. Until I find a perfect slot for the airwaves, I'll share some playlists from Spotify now and then to keep things fresh and inspired.
 I just might be the only person this benefits. But maybe, just maybe, YOU will appreciate my efforts and my hunt.
It's going to get brutal, messy, emotionally charged and dare I say... primal.

 Stay tuned as I make KMUN my home station. Word.

 This is a collection I've been compiling thus far, enjoy!

EBE show 11 3 11 part 1 by amyontheradio

Holy Time Warp, Batman!

It's been quite a while since my last show! Work hours and the sickness forced me to find subs for my last two shows. That's a long time to not be on air.

It finally feels like Summer.

..at least in spurts, it feels a lot like Summer. I have yet to go camping this Summer, which is a damn shame. At least I have music, and lots of it! For now- it's work, doggy walks, pie baking, music sharing and random trips to the beach on the menu for Summer. No complaints.
(But I really want to go camping.)

Last night was a fun show. Lots of goodies from several decades and genres. A big quilt made of rare scraps of fabric. I'm working on getting the show, or part of it, online to listen to and for downloading. I'm currently using Soundcloud, and I really dig it, but I don't dig that in order to actually have more than 2 hours of music posted, I'll need to pay for a larger space/ subscription. Being that I volunteer for KMUN, it doesn't really make sense to put my cold, hard earned dollar bills into acquiring more space for previous shows. So, until I find an alternative solution, Soundcloud it is. 2 hours at a time. :)

So last night was my first Thursday show. I'll be on every other Thursday from 11pm-1am. Sweet! More hours at once! Last night was fun, except for losing signal during a song for a few seconds... which always feels like hours on air. I blame the radio station ghosts!
