Podcast 9 - Punk Rock

Making a sharp shift from the electronic tunes of the previous edition, this Memorial Day weekend it's all about punk rock. I should say, there is nothing on here from the 70's New York or London punk scenes. Nope, these songs are all from my teen years to present and they rock. You'll notice a loose San Diego theme here. So many punk bands that I love have come from southern California, specifically San Diego. So this podcast is dedicated to all my San Diego friends, who spent their hard earned high school allowances on enough cd's and concert tickets that these bands got big enough for me to hear about them all the way over in Austin, TX.

I know we've been pretty high energy here for a while. I promise to mellow it out at some point but for now I hope you're ready to rock, because this podcast is fast and furious.

Podcast 8 - Coachella

Several weeks ago I was fortunate enough to make it out to Indio, Ca, a three hour drive east of LA, for the annual Coachella music festival. This was my second time going and let me just say, it was awesome. There were so many good acts but for me the focus was really on the incredible array of sweet techno acts playing. I should mention that I have already been harassed by the music genre labeling police for using the term techno is this manner. Apparently techno is only supposed to refer to some very specific sub genre of electronic music. However, language is fluid and I use the term to refer to electronic dance music but I digress. Either way, it's a genre of music that I haven't gotten to see many good shows of lately. I have put together a mix of some of my favorites from this year's Coachella as well as a couple tracks from the last one I went to back in 2006 when it was only a two day event. This is a high energy mix so use with caution.


In the podcast I refer to a video I took during the Kaskade show. Here's the link: Kaskade at Coachella 2010


As always, the album art on the mp3 file contains the track list but I know sometime Itunes won't display the proper track list for the podcast that is playing so I am including the track list in blog entry. I have also posted all previous track lists to their respective blog entries.
