Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound Episode 10 (May-June 2013)

Yes! 'Twas a long time in the making -- including recording the whole episode and then completely scrapping and redoing it -- but Episode 10 of the All New Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound has arrived. At the beginning of the year I set out to do 10 episodes of a radio show podcast, and I achieved my goal. If I may get cheesy for a moment ... it feels really good to not only do the radio show again, but to do 10 full episodes and to have done a good job mixing, recording, producing, and, yes, even talking. I absolutely love the feeling of being "on the air" again, and I really appreciate all the friends (and strangers) who have supported me in this endeavor!

SkiDog - Thanks for keeping me on task even when certain distractions got in the way. Listening "live" with you Saturday mornings was awesome, and your running commentary remains unparalleled.

Caitlinn - Thanks for all your feedback and music recommendations. Double thanks for spreading the word, and, most importantly, thanks for just enjoying the show and appreciating my hard work.

JJ - Thanks for filling my life with so much good music back in the day and for all the encouraging facebook posts when I started doing Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound again at the beginning of the year.

Jaimee - I don't think you actually listened to any of the episodes, but that's ok because most of the music is from you! I had no idea how much music I have from you until I started doing this.

Avniel - Your extensive collection was also well represented in these 10 return episodes of 33 1/3 Cents a Pound. I'm really glad I got to burn binders of your CDs before burning binders of CDs stopped being cool.

Your support means a lot...

This show features Issa Bagayogo, Big Boi, Infected Mushroom, and the Presets, among others, and most of the show is mix-segued. This episode has less variety than usual, but still explores the depths of aural possibilities and is, of course, banging to the end. I think the Infected Mushroom hip-hop mash-ups turned out great. That part was all improvised.

Listening to One New Album Per Day

I've started trying to listen to one new album a day. I can think of at least a few reasons to do this. One, no reason at all, just seems like a worthwhile thing to do. Two, I listen to too much talk radio. I do this partly because I do enjoy it, but partly because I don't have as much new "go-to" music anymore. My go-to music has all gotten old, and I need to force myself to add more. Three, albums deserve to get played whole sometimes [rather than having their songs spread out through playlists or chosen randomly (the ways I tend to listen to music)]. Four, this will force me to seek out and download some albums, after I work through the handful or so I've gotten lately. Five, it allows me to have a dedicated listen rather than just playing something as background music.

Yesterday I listened to the Smut Peddlers' Born Again (2001). Right now I've got Macklemore and Ryan Lewis The Vs. EP (2009). The Smut Peddlers (Mr. Eon and Mighty Mi) rank among the best of the upper underground, and go well with Ill Bill and Necro, in my opinion. Check out the video for Bottom Feeders, which is pretty hardcore. The Macklemore and Ryan Lewis stuff came up on my Pandora, and I love it -- great sample driven, hip-hop fusion! Definitely check them out. Lined up next I have Swedish reggae duo Serengeti's 2010 album Standing Steady...
