This is a centennial celebration of sorts. If to you an episode is a year… at any rate… one hundred 2-3 hour episodes ago, the little radio slipstream breathed its first breath. Of course if you consider that was 40 months ago, that’s not extremely impressive. But whatevs. It’s basically business as usual, although a little more upbeat: Some screaming guitar kicks, somehow mellowing out to eastern strains of trip and hip hop, some happy summery ditties, and then bringing the party back with some party rap and some quirky, peppy dance tunes. Lame longwinded explanations of moodshifts aside, one thing you can count on and that thing is this: awesomeness abounds.

Back into the swing of things! As per Mr Normal, a delectable selection of that what’s been making my ears dream. Chilled electronica to danceybits to quirky poky pop and mellowed out epics, with a bit of dirt (delicious dirt!) tossed on the tail end.

[NOTE: As of Jan 3, 2008, the mp3 has been fixed so it is no longer full of blips and artifacts]

This one’s got a flow, yo! Bit of a counterpoint to the pop and rocking of the last episode… Starting electronic with some ambient and spacey stuff, then into some more thomping dancey tunes, easing back a bit and moving into some odd mellow/raw hip hop, and then into some more polished, poppy melodic hip hop, and why not cap it off with an absolute banger.

Happy Everything.

The final episode of Radio Slipstream aired on CFMU. Nothing new here (except one old favourite that somehow never got featured on the show), just a selection of my most favourite songs. Like a flashback episode I suppose. I worked pretty hard on this, both the show in general, and on squeezing down 3 and a half hours of music into 2 for my final radio program. I hope you like it.

All in all, The Slipstream on 93.3 CFMU occupied 3 separate timeslots and delivered 2037 uniquely excellent songs (and 13 repeat excellent songs, repeated for theme shows or by accident) from 948 unique artists (not including the epic 5 episode 111 song best albums of 2005 countdown -which I’ve disowned because they’re not sequenced quite nicely enough to be up to standard and some of the songs have been repeated since). Now it is no more. It was deemed by ‘the powers that be’ (who are actually pretty cool once you get to know them) that being in London but remotely doing a show on a Hamilton community radio station isn’t in the spirit of things or practical. So, I’m going to take some time off and then bring back the podcast (probably bi-weekly) because I really do enjoy doing this. And then who knows. I also really want to get this website off its ass and turn it into something good-like.

So it still didn’t air, even though I have the next episode all ready to go. Ridiculous? Yes. However, the Agression Session guy mentioned that tonight was their second last show. I don’t know if that has anything specific to do with the programming director being extremely pissed at them. Maybe their replacement will know how to do simple operations with winamp. One can only hope. Maybe their replacement should be me… (edit: my wish seems to have come true)

So much for summer reruns. Or more accurately, summer silence. I’m working my witty bitty pwaywists to the bone all through the summer holidays. Doing up the show in my basement in London with my dad’s studio mic and sending it through the internet to Hamilton. Of course it’s not up to me to actually put it on the radio, so I can’t guarantee you’ll actually hear it. Like this week.. nada. Those Agression Session dudes don’t like to do what they’re told or something? I guess it’s appropriate..topically? Anyway. I wonder should I bother with a new one for next week or just get this one put on? I’ll let YOU decide.

I’m going to be leaving the high quality mp3s I upload for the station up until the next showis ready, which will be less than a week after this page goes up (probably 2-3 days), so if you want it, get it fast. Someone wants these… I’ve somehow been getting hundreds and hundreds of downloads (confused! but happy!) After that I’ll put up lower quality versions (though I haven’t decided how low.. i might let YOU decide).

As noted in the show, The Slipstream has changed it’s rules somewhat, as summarized below
I, Damon Muma, host of said radioprogram do glibly swear:
1. only play gobsmackingly awesome songs that I heartily endorse the checking out of - UNCHANGED
2. make all the songs flow into each other with ease and beauty - UNCHANGED
3. never repeat an artist in a show unless there is compelling and noted reason - UNCHANGED
4. never play any song that has been played on the show before, ever, unless it is for a ‘theme’ show, and even then proceed with caution (i broke this once or twice by accident) - NOW: never play any song that has been played on the show within the last year.

I want to do some research and find out if my 20-24 new songs a week gives my show’s 2 hours a week more total songs in rotation than your typicalcrapcommercialradio station’s 168 hours a week. I wouldn’t be surprised.

So this was the last show of the year, ostensibly until the autumn, when I shall return to Hamilton. And it turned out to be more interesting an experience than most.

First I got a call in for a request that I felt bad about not being able to fill, cause I’m just that pretentious that I don’t do requests. Or really because I spend hours getting the tracklist just so before the show and it’s fairly unstraightforward to change. Ah well, it was the only request I got and had to deny all year anyway. Then I get another call.. I think it was the same guy, sounding more obviously drunk this time, asking if I wanted to go out for a latte and a haircut. I wasn’t sure if he was making fun of me or it was a joke or what, so I was just confused. I don’t like being confused. But no matter. The sweet tunes are bomping.

Things took a marked turn for the better when during El Wahrania the middle aged Mediterranean (olive-complective) janitor gave me sign language big-ups from outside the studio window. That made me happy. Damn right more people should not be scared off by music that sounds nonwestern, and thanks to Phillip for hooking me up with that and so much other music.

Then during the last set (Augie Morning Pharmacists) Daddy P, (who hosts Dope FM on CFMU and has self-reportedly been involved with various community radio stations for 15 years and I see fairly often because he’s often in the production room during my show (as he was today)), gave me a call because he was really excited that I played Gnarls Barkley (Danger Mouse + Cee Lo if that means anything) and then we chatted more and he said he thinks my show is really awesome and I should do it over the summer (sent in via mp3 upload type deal) so he can listen to it cause he likes it a lot. That made me happy. And I thought heck, why not? The roster is a bit lacking in the summer cause most people just eff off like me. It could do well for weaseling me into a better timeslot. Also, it’s what I like.

So the slipstream might just be continuing over the summer in some form or other. Prerecording doesn’t seem quite as authentic somehow, but it does allow me to be more creative I suppose. Heck, I could be downright silly if I wanted to (do I smell a mumareuther in the works?). Anyway, more news as it comes. And maybe I’ll start posting things besides radio playlists again, wouldn’t that be lovely? Cause oh yeah.. School’s Out For Summer!
