I sorta "liveblogged" the show today. It was a successful experiment. The playlist was neater, I was more organized, the kids at home could follow it easier...good show all around.
The set started out fairly cute and dreamy, then gradually became more rambunctious; wrapped it up soft and low at the end.

...and here's another cool thing!
Congrats to Adam, the lucky listener who won two tickets to see the Dinosaur Jr. show at the House of Blues in Hollywood on Thursday!
I'm also going. I am incredibly pumped.

An Hour of Flying Nun Records!
This week is KUCI's 40th Anniversary of being on the air. To celebrate, we're doing a week of special themed days. Today was Record Label Day, and I picked my favorite little underdog label: Flying Nun!
Flying Nun was started in 1981 in Christchurch, New Zealand. For the next decade and a half, all sorts of plucky garage bands were signed to this label, most of them from rural towns scattered around New Zealand. They've all got a similar sound --- like a punk-washed Sarah Records, or The Smiths, if Morrissey knew how to have fun.
I discovered them through The Clean's "Anything Could Happen," which, regular listeners might recall, is one of my favorite songs, ever. From there, the miracles of Youtube led me to the once-rare Flying Nun music videos (ripped off the marvelous-looking DVD, "Very Short Films").
It's rather hard to find Flying Nun stuff in your average record store, but through the combined powers of Youtube, CDs on EBay, and KUCI's anthropological shelves of vinyl, I can bury myself in that sweet Dunedin sound.
Here's what I picked out as the creme de la creme:
the clean - tally ho - anthology
the chills - pink frost - kaleidoscope world
the chills - dan destiny and the silver dawn - brave words
the tall dwarfs - the brain that wouldn't die - hello cruel world
the verlaines - pyromaniac - juvenilia
the bats - block of wood - daddy's highway
the verlaines - you forget love - bird dog
the verlaines - doomsday - juvenilia
jean paul sartre experience - own two feet - love songs
sneaky feelings - husband house - positively george street
the bats - north by north - daddy's highway
doublehappys - the other way - nerves
the clean - billy two - anthology
the clean - thumbs off - anthology
the chills - speak for yourself - brave words
the clean - anything could happen - anthology
Listen to my recording of the show here!

If you're interested, there's a really cool documentary about Flying Nun on Youtube; here's the first part, and you can follow the related videos from there.

Halloween Mixes!
Hey gang!
This Saturday will be a special All Hallow's Morn edition of "Take a Run at the Sun." You won't wanna miss that.
And speaking of Halloween...
I made two Halloween mixes for the new mixtape project, Mixed Tapes for Mixed Tastes!
One of them is in the old surf vein of this show (see fig. 1), and the other one is just a grab-bag of stuff.
I'll be playing some of these songs on Saturday...and some other songs too!! OoooOOOoo.
