Sad to hear Yoon announce she is graduating soon and Jetlagg 88 will have the final episode in 4 or 5 shows =( She played Vangelis's soundtrack to "The Apocalypse of Animals", which is a psychedelic French nature documentary from 1970:

Not sad she's graduating obv, sad the show is ending.

I still don’t have a blog to dump this stuff, so:

I’ve lived in Boston for years and I’ve always been really disheartened by the lack of a dance program on Saturday evenings (on both commercial and non-commercial radio). I finally started to make moves to remedy the situation. Inspired by Maura’s show on Boston College’s WZBC, I starting plotting the structure of a dance program on MIT’s WMBR and this week I started recording a demo episode. It’s a survey of Eurodance from 1990 to 2010!

A few random ideas:

- A weekly show sounds impossible, so I’ve been thinking about a format where it’s possible to have reruns. I really loved that Brave New Waves on CBC Radio 2 stuck to three or four different structures: survey episodes, occasional “let’s play new music” episodes, interview episodes, and performance (usually pre-recorded mixes) episodes. They’d rerun everything but the “let’s play new music” episodes and it seemed fine to me as a listener.

- I also want to steal Patti Schmidt’s radio voice, e.g. https://youtu.be/c3v0PJmByx8

- I love a lot of the fixtures of weekend dance radio. Especially shout out calls-ins. I think my love for this comes from my love of the New Dance Show (https://youtu.be/CgdG5KAbf18). I really need to figure out how-to make this happen. I think it’s probably easiest to fake it.

- I also really love drops from the performer you’re about to play so I started asking some people to record them and, shockingly, they started doing just that. In the past day, I’ve chatted with Veronica Almqvist from Smile.dk, Aneela Mirza from Toy-Box, and Thea Austin from Snap! Thea (I’m imaging we’re now on a first name basis) is now a successful lobbyist for global women’s issues.

- Like everyone else who loves this type of thing, I love The Electrifying Mojo and The Wizard. I especially loved their use of weird recordings in their mixes like stuff they recorded from TV. I decided to make this episode Y2K themed so I’ve been ripping audio from YouTube videos with hysterical people talking about floating-point overflow issues.

sounds really neat! would love to hear it

Yeah sounds very cool!
