Blender Playlist for Friday 10/27

Finally I make a post here. Below for this week's playlist, past playlists as always are at http://www.rpi.edu/~smiths4. If you haven't had the chance to listen to my show, well, you best start! All sorts of stuff ranging from stuff the other guys play to glitch and noise! :D Hope to see you next week after work and school, friday from 4 to 6.

As far as albums to check out, well, if you've been listening to the show I've been crazy about "The Binary Universe" by BT. Essentially a movie soundtrack, since the CD comes with a DVD with animations for each of the 7 songs on the album. Definitely a departure from his previous work, which ventured more into the realm of pop and trance (still good though). But now he's closer to glitch/IDM/post rock, and I like it! Highly HIGHLY reccomended.

Also check out the new albums from Bitcrush, Mochipet, and 65daysofstatic.

Upcoming shows, well, there's that ground zero show on the 4th. http://www.gzbasement.net for more info.

punk and indie gems - oct 25th show

No requests this show
* means the band is currently active
bands with links mean the band plays at smaller venues and you should check them out more to support them. plus, it'll probably be really cheap
1) Jawbreaker - Kiss the Bottle - a love song about alcoholism
2*) NOFX - The Decline - 18 awesome minutes about the decline of american culture
3*) Elf Power - All the World is waiting - they sound like the unicorns, i think, but i'm probably wrong
4*) Mastodon - Capillarian Crest - really fast yet prog metal song. Mastodon rocks
5*) Apple Jackzzzzz - Faking Sick > School - hiphop songs for kids, sounds like atom and his package. RPI student
6*) Paul Baribeau - Like Bells - a nice acoustic song
7*) Liz Isenberg - Winter Hearts Settle - an artist from amherst, ma who does acoustic songs, except lo-fi, relatively short, and with some ambient effects every so often. I really like it. She's coming back to Ground Zero at RPI sometime in late November
8*) Vio/Mire - November 10 - folk meets ambience
9*) Beck - Elevator Music
10*) Nic Engel - Ravager - man with an acoustic guitar, except he's really fast and talented. RPI alumni
11*) The Matches - Papercut Skin - a pop/punk band on Epitaph Records. The whole album is really strange for a pop-punk band, but amazing
12*) Broken Social Scene - 7/4 (Shoreline)

A Bit of an Introduction:

Why hello. I'm the secret member of this community, as in I've yet to air a show since this blog has been created. You can thank the RPI sports and family weekend for that. However, this Saturday (Oct 28) marks my return. So unless there are any last minute games that I don't know about, I'll be in the airwaves making my way to a radio near you. Since I've been off for so long, I have a long list of new music that I'm itching to play for you. Artists include 65daysofstatic, Bitcrush, Riding Paper Airplanes, Junior Boys and many more! Be sure to tune in on Saturday, immediately following the football game, from 4-6pm.
