Category Archives: PLAYLISTS

The order of every song played on every episode of radio slipstream is archived here. 99% of the episodes have links to mp3s of recordings. The episodes also all have generally random but potentially interesting titles created by myself with maximum wordplay and varying levels of applicability.

Up until summer 2007, the recordings are in 32 kbps (which means quite low quality, but still quite listenable unless you are a major audiophile, and depending on your speakers) and for the early part of 2005 there was somehow a lot of static on the webstream. Post summer 2007 (and summer 2006) the recordings are all straight from my hard-drive and should be totally free of glitches.

I know, I know… it’s been an awful long while. I have my reasons of course, but you’ll have to listen to find out. At any rate, this episode focuses on slow, beautiful experimental and modern classical works at first and then settles into ambience and summer dreaming before a bit of summer fun with a hint of pop.

Episode 100. mp3. cue. Released April 29, 2008

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.

Episode 98. mp3. cue. Released March 17, 2008

Apologies for the delay… working 8.5 hour days really reduces the amount of time I have to comb through old music and listen to new tunes and carefully (+ocd-ishly) arrange them into podcast playlists. Don’t you wish I was still a bum? At any rate, until I find a job where I can bring in my own tunes, I’m not fully confident I can keep up the bi-weekly episodes. But I will try!

This week’s selections run quite opposite to the electronicness of last time. We start with some manic, experimental pieces and then settle down into a king-size bed of vaguely folksy reverb that eventually expands into various forms of slightly surreal ballading, before being buried in a grim avalanche of craggy rock and roll.

Episode 97. Released February 18, 2008

This one: much less with the jibber jabber as it’s a 2 hour nonstop electronic dancing music experience! House, techno, breaks, some hip hop and pop, and a whole lot of goodness. Watch in astonishment as the songs flow together like orange juice and grape juice swirling in a river of fruity bliss!! Marvel at the sweetness of the beatness!!! OH! DEAR! GOD! YES!

That said, if you’re one of those people who can’t stand ‘electronic’ music, you might want to wait a couple weeks.

Phil’s torrent of songs is here (his 2006 one gave me the idea to do my own), and I’d also like to mention that this episode includes the 1000th (and 1001st!) unique artist to be featured on Radio Slipstream.

[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.
