the heavies of dubstep

quick set I did for my current radio show at Brown, which has some flavors appropriate for this blog.

Clearly I love Shackleton and Badawi.

Schubert'ing it

Tonight I'll be filling in on the air for the Schubert Report, from 10-12. A tough set of shoes to fill, but I'll do my best. Expect lots of artsy-fartsy music, electro acoustic, modern classical, film music, ambient, and much more!

filling in tonight on BSRlive

Although I am sorry to report I don't have any mixes in the works for the blog at this moment, I am filling in tonight for a radio show on Brown Student and Community Radio, at 7pm EST.

Tune in for lots of new, exciting stuff from the wide world of non-popular music!

blog direction

For a long time I've allowed my fascination with funky oddball techno music to infiltrate this blog (weirdly) named Misterboots, which I suspect confused stoppers-by or regular listeners. I started the blog with only one intention, which was to provide homemade mixes of music, showcasing strange-but-beautiful combinations of musics from every nook and cranny.

In the first year of this blog, I had been playing around (and still am) with mixing of said electronic music---the problem being, I've never thought that this sort of music format fit very well within the framework of my blog, yet put it up anyway. Post-happy, I guess.

From now on, this blog will no longer feature any of my techno mixes, not only because they don't adhere to the format described above, but also because they sort of stick out like a swollen thumb compared to all of the other mixes or posts.

Due to my breach of proposed blog structure, I know I've got some readers who visit for the quirky techno, but not so much for the other stuff. For this camp, I direct you to my new weekly radio show on BSR named The Fieldhouse, streaming live on the internet (and on the FM dial in the Providence area). This show starts this Saturday, May 22nd, at 11pm-midnight, EST. The archives to the show will be listed on this same show page, in case it's past your bed time, or you live in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc.

For everyone else, please stay tuned for some great mixes coming up over the next several months!

Fest

Tune in tonight from 8-9pm for a sampling of musicians that I would hire, if I ran my own music festival. Enjoy from the comfort of your own home, without encountering overflowing porto-potties, tripping hippies, $8 water bottles, and that sketchy guy offering "free hugs".

Archive here.

Fistpumps!

SETI rockin sounds

Last night's radio show, an avantgarde tip o' the hat to the oscars, and all creative movie music makers!

radio show tonight! 11pm-midnight

Tonight i'll be filling in for another show, on air at 11pm-midnight, streaming live on bsrlive, and also on 88.1 WELH providence.

More fun/quirky/funky tech-house-y stuff for your rump----spread the word!

2/28: archive downloadable here.

A Cordial Invitation...

Super Boots

Click on the pic for last night's super bowl radio show. Sorry for the lack of new blog content, but hopefully you'll hear some interesting combinations of music on the radio show.

Baby Boots / The Anti Grammys

Tune in tonight, 8-9pm for the maiden voyage show from Misterboots. Serving up sound combinations so dense and fresh you'll wish you had an extra set of ears to take it all in. Good thing for the archives!
