My next podcast from California and I remixed a new open/theme song for Queenkv’s Aural Fixations. The Wizard of Oz quote is a nod to my last 2 years in Kansas. Call and Response’s Rollerskate is a nod to my roots in college radio. It was one of the first songs on my playlists for KALX Berkeley. Good times.

This is my first podcast in a while. We just moved back to California. It’s lovely to be in my home state and closer to my friends and family. This episode has some great tracks by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. There’s also some love for Kansas: my home for the last two years.

Earlier this month, we checked out the Davis music scene with a KDVS concert. One of my favorite bands from my KALX days, Casiotone of the Painfully Alone, headlined the $5 concert at on the UC Davis campus.
Casiotone at UC Davis from Kris Vera-Phillips on Vimeo.
At this KDVS concert, I was amazed at the lush sound he produced all by himself. He was wizard on the mixer, keyboard, vocals and anything that could be plugged into his show. He played a couple of songs off his 2006 album, “Etiquette.”

I loved making mix tapes in junior high and high school. This was before CD burners and iPods. Back in the day, I’d record what was hip and trendy off the radio, add in selections from my small CD collection and splice it all together on our dusty stereo in the living room. I loved making mix tapes of Broadway musicals, soundtracks and pop tunes for my skating workouts. And later, I made odes to love for my boyfriends. Good times.
This morning: I made my first Muxtape. I mixed in They Might Be Giants, Aubrey and other goodies. Take a listen…or make your own Muxtape.

I started using last.fm this week. It’s been fun exploring similar artists and adding the app to my facebook profile. However, some songs ended up stalling in the player.
Still, an interesting way to learn about new and favorite artists.
It’s almost summer time in Topeka. This podcast features live versions of classic favorites from Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie. This episode also features new favorites…I finally bought a Nouvelle Vauge album. They blew me away when I saw them live at the Hollywood Bowl.
And music by Imogen Heap - a musical genius. During this radio session, she redefines what it means to be a one-woman-band with this beautiful live version of “Just for Now.”

It doesn’t feel like Spring in Topeka…but I suppose we don’t get much of a choice in the cold temps. Today’s episode is about good memories and some rockin’ live music. My cousin saw the Black Eyed Peas in a Vegas concert.
Last weekend, I caught American Catastrophe during the Sonic Spectrum Anniversary Showcase in Kansas City. Good times.

My first show for 2007.
How about that! Listen Now!
It’s stormy outside and Kansas may see some tornadoes this weekend. Eeck.
So for this show, I wanted fun music. The Electrolettes always rock. I also enjoy Ghosty’s feel-good vibes on Clouds Solve It. I was a little disappointed when I saw them in Lawrence last year. But I dig their studio recordings. Maybe I’ll give them a second chance. Maybe.
