11 years ago, I launched a podcast in my living room. Now that it's on the radio, I can finally play some of the music I've wanted to play for a while — some of the music that made me such a huge fan of trip hop and downtempo in the first place.
Sadly, I can't distribute that music on either my podcast feed or my app. If you'd like to stream this week's broadcast in its entirety, visit my Mixcloud page, or, through May 14, visit the Dave's Lounge page on WHUP's web site.
Here's the playlist for the podcast episode, which features music from the earliest episodes of Dave's Lounge, circa 2005:
(00:00) Dive Index, “Between Sky and Sea (feat. Natalie Walker)”
(06:44) Daughter Darling, “Broken Bridge”
(11:51) Tal M. Klein, “Don't”
(16:12) Beauty's Confusion, “Whirlwind”
(20:42) Shantel, “Inside”
(25:44) Danny K, “Speech”
(29:38) kikiwest, “Creeper”
(36:06) Artemis, “Supernatural”
(40:48) Bird York, “Haunting You”
(47:53) Slovo, “Whisper”
(53:05) Bent, “Sing Me”
Be sure to tune in to WHUP-LP FM 104.7 in Hillsborough, NC, every Sunday at 3:00 PM Eastern (1900 UTC) to hear the latest Dave's Lounge live on the radio — or stream it live at: http://whupfm.org/
As a life-long Prince fan, I had always hoped he would soften up his anti-internet stance and allow podcasters the opportunity to play at least one of his songs. Alas, that never happened. Thankfully, two of his most famous protégés, Wendy & Lisa, did make a song from their self-released 2008 album “White Flags Of Winter Chimneys” available to podcasters. I jumped at the chance to play it then, and it makes a fitting tribute now to the man who launched their career.
