A Substitute for Your Regular Guy

There's a new DJ named Billy who has covered for me on my show a few times, and so when he said he needed a sub to cover his 4-6am Monday morning shift, I said, oh hell, I really ought to volunteer for that. And so here I am.

In order to cope with a 4am start time, I prepped virtually all my sets at home yesterday afternoon, and I think the results were quite good:

Sufjan Stevens - Wolverine
Nina Simone - Lilac Wine
Cesaria Evora - Flôr Di Nha Esperança

Rufus Wainwright - Movies of Myself
Andrew Bird - Skin Is, My
The Cells - They Don't Know

Jon Auer* - Sundown
Mia Doi Todd* - Norwegian Wood
Fazzini* - Dell
Hardscrabble* - Jerry the Junker

The Beach Boys - Sloop John B
The Decemberists - 16 Military Wives
The Clash - Spanish Bombs

Danielson* - Did I Step on Your Trumpet
Pinback - Offcell (Request)

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
Laurie Anderson - Kokoku
The Tom Tom Club - Lorelei
(This 20-minute 3-song set was on the whole a pretty surreal thing to play at 5am for people waking up to the radio.)

Konrad* - Canyon Blue
Fiery Furnaces* - Oh Sweet Woods
Camera Obscura* - Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken

Luciana Souza - Bahião Medley
Sophia Loren - Zoo Be Zoo Be Zoo
Meryn Cadell - Why Do I Do

Streets* - Two Nations
Drive-By Truckers* - Feb 14
Les Innocents - Le Cygne

* from our new releases list

Then Mary came in to take over, and I got to see a little of her technique, which is that she chooses everything pretty much on the fly. The results are good.
