What I'm Listening to

I am often on the computer. I produce a weekly list of events that I distribute and it nearly consumes my Wednesday evenings. Love it though; my little 'community service.' So while I whittle away, I like to either watch a bit of television, usually reality TV, and/or listen to some hella good hip hop.

I've been trolling around Imeem, but I usually just go after oldies there. But the OkayPlayer webbie is looking better and better. Lots of good music, vids and just a wealth of information. They have an audio playlist on the front page that I am liking more than a little bit.

I created this screenshot to give you an idea of where the playlist is. I thought the image would be larger, but I think you can at least see the red arrow at the bottom or the image. Then the word circled in red is 'audio.' Check it out. Good stuff.

So the newest music that I actually have on my computer is:

Usher "Here I Stand"
N.E.R.D. "Seeing Sounds"
Amy Winehouse "Frank"

I am so diggin that "Frank." Just good music and original. The N.E.R.D. is cool. I like it, though it reminds me of their last project, which I also liked.

My Old School Favs

I've been playing around more on Imeem. I did not know that I could build a playlist - duh ... I've only built one and I keep listening to it over and over again (just like back in the day, when my brother and I would wear out a vinyl record on the turntable).

Check it out. If you don't want to sign up for Imeem, just scroll through and check out the list.

Upon your request ... the Hip Hop Show Playlist

I host a hip hop radio show on WMCO. I've been hosting for about 3 years. It is creatively called "The Hip Hop Show". I have a lot of fun with it. But I rarely get much feedback from the show. However, the I have consistently received feedback from guys who apparently listen from the nearby correctional facility. They just like hearing the music. So we have that in common.

A recent letter from the guys focused on one particular show: Saturday, March 31, 2007. I don't remember anything special about the show, but they were convinced that lyrically, that show was incredibly strong!

Since some of the hip hop that I play on my show needs to be edited, I have to put it into a computer database. As a result, I can go into the database and retrieve the playlist from any given day; though I've seldom had occasion to do that. So, that is what I have done.
