Weekly Mix 8: February 26, 2017

From time to time The Weekly Mix features interviews. In the past we’ve chatted with artist Geneva B, KAOS Radio Austin co-founder, Nick Dement and Bondfire Radio founder Keisha Dutes. On today’s show we’ll talk with the members of The Brevet, who I had the pleasure of chatting with before the performed at Lestat’s here in beautiful San Diego. There’s a bit of static that creeps into the interview here and there and I apologize for that. It’s the first time I’ve done an interview on live streaming video and I’m learning how to do it on the fly.

Today’s show has a lot of introductions. The most introductions ever, in fact. We’ll hear from Indian Handcrafts, All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors, Pulco, Ash Walker and Tangents.

You can listen to The Weekly Mix every Sunday on KAOS Radio Austin at 6PM Central and every Friday on Bondfire Radio out of Brooklyn at 11:30 AM Eastern Standard Time.

Okay, I’m Audi 5000. See you next week!

Weekly Mix 7: February 19, 2017

I’ve been having a lot of fun producing The Weekly Mix. Its different from other shows I’ve produced in the past because it’s short and informal. I’m not trying to craft a seamless mix that’ll take you on an emotional journey like I’ve done on solipsistic NATION, the electronic music show I used to do. And when I do the occasional interview on The Weekly Mix they’re quick, usually around five minutes, instead of the long form interviews I’m used to doing.

I’m also not trying to build up an enormous audience for the show. It’s mostly for my friends and family to enjoy. But look, if you like the show and you want to turn other people on to The Weekly Mix, I’d certainly appreciate it. The more people who listen to the show the more musical guests I can get on the show. Besides, why keep The Weekly Mix to yourself?

The other thing I’ve been doing differently is using Periscope and Facebook Live to promote The Weekly Mix. I don’t know if it’s actually making a difference but it’s fun and I plan on exploring the possibilities of streaming video. For example, this Friday I’ll be interviewing The Brevet on Facebook Live when they perform here in San Diego at Lestat’s. I’ll also stream one or two of their songs they’ll be performing while in town. And I’ll also be using the Rode VideoMic Me that my friend Robin turned me on to, so I’ve got an extra reason to be excited about that show. Follow me on Twitter at @josephaleo if you want to know when that’ll be happening.

You can also listen to The Weekly Mix each week on KAOS Radio Austin every Sunday at 6PM Central and every Friday on Bondfire Radio at 11:30 AM Eastern Standard Time.

Okay, I’m out of here. See you next week!
