The Underground Velvet Show Returns!

I'm now hosting a one-hour radio show on party934.com (which streams live on the radio in the Hudson Valley at 94.9 FM.)

My first show was last night, because it's every Monday night at 10pm pacific time, 1am eastern time. If you missed my show and want to listen to it, you can go to the itunes store, type "party 934 radio podcasts," click my show, and then download it for free! You can also subscribe to the Party 934 podcast so you can listen to all of the latest shows. Visit Party934.com for more information about the shows.

Here is the playlist for my show from last night (I can play whatever I want. The one rule is that I can't play Top 40, which is no big deal to me!):

1. The Velvet Underground - I'm Beginning to See The Light (The Underground Velvet Show always starts with a Velvet Underground song!)
2. The Magic Mushrooms - I'm Gone (from Pebbles Vol. 9, Rare Recordings from Southern California)
3. Bessie Jones - Sometimes (from a collection of Alan Lomax recordings)
4. The Beatles - Love You To
5. I Hear Music (Swingsett and Takuya's Might Fine Remix) from Billie Holiday Remixed and Reimagined
6. The Avalanches - Since I Left You
7. Animal Collective - Leaf House
8. Peter Bjorn and John - Dig a Little Deeper
9. Passion Pit - Little Secrets
10. Lykke Li - Sadness is a Blessing
11. The Antlers - Sylvia
12. LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean
13. Beach House - Zebra
14. Sufjan Stevens - Too Much

Seattle, LA, New York

I just applied to a job where I was asked to create a playlist that represents "the vibe" of Seattle, then LA, then New York. Each playlist could be no more than 10 songs. This proved difficult as any genre of music really can come from any city, but I tried to generalize as much as possible. This is what I came up with:


Seattle (indie folk/underground/alt-pop)

1. The Helio Sequence – Everyone Knows Everyone
2. Rocky Votolato – She Was Only In It For the Rain
3. The Antlers – Kettering
4. Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal
5. The Decemberists – The Mariner’s Revenge
6. Beach House – Zebra
7. The Album Leaf – On Your Way
8. Best Coast – Boyfriend
9. Cults – Go Outside
10. Broken Bells – October

L.A. (top 40/club/surf pop)

1. Britney Spears – Till The World Ends
2. DeadMau5 – Ghosts and Stuff
3. Girl Talk – Shut the Club Down
4. Chiddy Bang – Opposite of Adults
5. Phoenix – 1901
6. Katy Perry feat. Kanye West – E.T.
7. Phantom Planet – California
8. Spoon – The Underdog
9. The 88 –How Good It Can Be
10. Rooney – Holdin’ On

New York (electronic/house/alt rock)

1. Animal Collective – My Girls
2. Vampire Weekend – Ottoman
3. LCD Soundsystem – Dance Yrself Clean
4. MGMT – Electric Feel
5. Of Montreal – Id Engager
6. Passion Pit – Moth’s Wings
7. Bishop Allen – Middle Management
8. Sufjan Stevens – Movement 1V: Traffic Shock
9. M.I.A. – Jimmy
10. The Black Angels – Young Men Dead
