Show tracks for Sat. June 26/10 - Glastonbury Special

I decided during the week to have a little special Glastonbury show. As I went through the line-up I realized that this show would resemble half regular show and half Rewind! show.
Plus it gave me the freedom to play artists that I would not have other wise been able to play. I really dug that Gorillaz/Souljazz Orchestra/Stevie Wonder/Kode 9 set. I was groovin'.
It turned out to be the best show I have done in weeks from a behind the scenes production point of view. Sometimes a show that sounds great over the radio or the interwebs is a pain behind the scenes as things go wrong. It happens. But this one was great. Hope you enjoyed it.

Show tracks for Sat. June 12/10

So the World Cup is under way. England's first match disappointing only in the way the goal wen in. Result was not devastating. They created many chances, 2-3 really good ones. Makes the group some work now, which is good. Besides anyone who thought the Americans were going to be a cakewalk were sadly mistaken. They're overated but still a quality side. Here's to a week of great football.
We'll be opening up up each show during the World Cup with some footie songs.

The city is a mess! Streets under construction or inches of water after last nights storm. Streets closed for Red Bull Air Races and Art In The Park. Glad I'm staying at home today. In fact as I was leaving the studio last night I waded through an inch of water on the student centre floor. Nuts!
