Earlier this week I set my iPhone to randomly play tracks queued up in my playlist for songs to review for solipsistic NATION, eager to hear what would emerge. As I started adding tracks to my On-The_Go playlist I found myself picking songs that seemed like they would be perfect for a soundtrack for an imaginary movie by Guy Ritchie. Think Snatch. Or Jonathan Glazer‘s Sexy Beast. The mix on this week’s solipsistic NATION feature songs that are gritty and trashy, sexy and fun, maybe even a little dangerous.
As long as I’ve got your eyeballs let me tell you about some upcoming shows on solipsistic NATION.
This weekend I’ll be interviewing Boreta and edIT of the Glitch Mob. I’ve already had Ooah and Kraddy on the show in the past and this will serve as a bookend to the Glitch Mob interviews. If you’d like to be part of the interview, just call my voice mail at 1-619-717-6322 and record your question. I’ll play both your question and their response on the show.
I’ll also interview J. Anthony Allen and Douglas Geers who are running the Spark Festival of Electronic Music and Art taking place at the University of Minnesota, February 17 – 22.
Too wrap up the weekend I’ll interview Travis Nobles hiddenplace music blog about the tracks he’s lovingly selected for next week’s show featuring his best of 2008 net releases.
Next month will feature a live set from Vergel E and March will feature a live set by Matt B of the Made In Glitch project and Bass Science.
