Playlist for November 28th, 2009

Well, November has certainly been a busy month for interviews on the Vampire's Ball - first Nivek Ogre, then Craig Huxtable form Landscape Body Machine, and this week it was Raggedy Angry's turn. (Technically speaking, next week's interview with Kevvy from Fake Shark Real Zombie will be taped on Monday so it's still in November...)

As I said on air, I was quite impressed with Raggedy Angry's stage show, energy, and I love their music too. Plus they're a hilarious bunch of goofballs to chat with. Expect to hear more about them in the future.

Raggedy Angry Interview on this week's show

So, last night I went out to Venue to check out Raggedy Angry opening for Die Mannequin, as suggested to me on Monday by Dave Ogilvie: "You should come check 'em out, they're pretty cool."

Quite the understatement.

The boys kicked some serious ass on stage and played like they were headliners, and after their set I did a quick interview with Irvin Scabtree and the Pull Out Method which will be airing at the start of this week's Vampire's Ball along with some tracks from their last album, Pestilence, which I also picked up at the show.

They're working on a new one, so we chat a little bit about that and their tour with Die Mannequin, etc.

So, tune in live from 12-4AM PST this Friday night either on 101.9 FM CiTR Radio in Vancouver or citr.ca worldwide or grab the podcast from iTunes starting on Saturday [just search for "CiTR -- The Vampire's Ball" to find us] to hear more from Raggedy Angry.

And of course I'll play a bunch of other good stuff too.

Second show of the annual CiTR FunDrive. More information on citr.ca... The volunteer who was to man the phones during my show didn't show up, so on Gak's advice I switched to an all-digital approach of letting people know you can donate online at citr.ca/donate - just be sure to specify that you're donating to CiTR and you can apparently specify which show you're donating with too (it doesn't really matter since the money helps all of CiTR, we just have a friendly competition amoungst the DJs so we like to keep tally).

Playlist for November 13, 2009

Tonight was my first show doing the annual CiTR FunDrive. More information on citr.ca...

Apparently during the fundrive pitching a couple guys called the donation line wanting to talk to me directly. I think our volunteer gave them the actual DJ booth number, but they didn't actually call the DJ booth.

Oh well. For the record, if you're looking to make a request during the show, you can call 604 822 CITR. That would be between midnight and four AM PST. In which case you're at the mercy of the CITR archive, which is admittedly vast and especially well-stocked in old industrial from the 80s and into the early 90s, but if it's newer industrial you're wanting to hear, you're better to fire me an email in advance of the show since I'm more likely to have to bring that sort of thing into the show from my home archive [EG. we have very little Nine Inch Nails, and no Rammstein]. Email me at thevampiresball [at] gmail.com. I do check it right before I leave for the station on Friday nights.

Here's what I played on the show tonight...


Landscape Body Machine
From Manifest Destiny [2009, Interdimensional Industries]:
The New Deal
Dreamtime [Gustafsen Lake]
Purpose Part 1 [Thught Police]
Purpose Part 2 [Golden Shield]

Interspersed with interview clips with Craig Huxtable.

Playlist for November 7, 2009

So, Tuesday was the Skinny Puppy show. I've wanted to see them live for I don't know how long, and I recall being super thrilled when Vernard relayed the news to me back in June that cEvin Key had said they would finally play Vancouver for sure this fall [this being around the time cEvin came up to do a DJ set for Luv-a-Fair at the end of May]. And last's year's ohGr show was one of the highlights of my 2008.

I was not disappointed. Even better was getting to chat with Ogre backstage for this week's show.

As I said on-air, I quite enjoyed the new site associated with the next ohGr release, wdihtf.com, which is where you can go and get a taste of the next release and do a live remix of the new song "Collidoskope" by playing with the typewriter graphics. I suspect I'll probably be spending entirely too much time on that in the next little while...

There are also links to get a free download of "Collidoskope" as well as little widgets like I stuck in the sidebar of this blog and I'm sure there will be more aspects unveiled as things progress. Do check it out.

As I also mentioned on air, the boys from ForeskinRadio.com also interviewed Ogre, so here are their videos. And their interview mostly covered different territory from mine. Enjoy!
