i'm moving all my archived segments and interviews slowly to mediafire.com/taperelay now since i am getting no love from both the podomatic and last.fm sites, both of whom insist on compressing and downgrading the sound quality. so screw you both! i'm leaving tape relay segments in all its 192kbps glory.
the latest segment, and one that i'm most excited about, is going to air tomorrow. Texas native Lee Gillespie records a semi-regular series with me called A,TX where we talk about Texan sounds (predominantly Austin music) and this upcoming one is sort of the non-rock deal with music from 60s funk band Mickey and the Soul Generation (DJ Shadow's favourite funk band wouldn't ya know), Tree Wave (8-bit chip tunes/synth pop), Yppah (instrumental shoegaze-flavoured hiphop on the Ninja Tunes label) and my new favourite band, Lymbyc Systym (electronic styled post-rock).
But what makes it so great is the fact that the conversation takes us all over the place with me learning about Tejano and Conjunto music that is native to the lone star state, as well as about 8-bit music AND about Houston's chopped and screwed hip hop tendencies. There is awesome stuff to be learnt on Tape Relay my dear friends, and you can't have a better guide than the incredible Lee who is perceptive, knowledgable, personable and really quite entertaining. okay /end gushing. just get onto it will ya!
