So here\u2019s the deal. As much as I love electronic music, I don\u2019t love all<\/i> electronic music. I\u2019m not crazy about House and I\u2019m not overly fond of Electroclash. Despite my preferences, the theme of solipsistic NATION<\/b> is that I play the best all<\/i> genres of electronic music I have to set aside my prejudices and play for you what I consider the finest songs from all the many, many forms of electronic music.<\/p>\n
As if that wasn\u2019t a daunting task, because solipsistic NATION<\/b> is a podcast and not a radio program, I can only play podsafe music. That is to say, I can only play music that is licensed to play on a podcast so I don\u2019t have the RIAA, BMI and ASCAP coming after me. So that means I can\u2019t just dig into my CD collection and play whatever rocks my boat. It means I have to be a member of various promotional services that offer podsafe music, or contact indie artists I find on MySpace, or contact music labels to seek their permission to play songs from their roster of artists on solipsistic NATION<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Which brings us to today\u2019s show.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s show features reggaeton. I\u2019m not a big fan of reggaeton but that\u2019s not important. As the host of solipsistic NATION<\/b> it is my duty to not only play you the very best of reggaeton, but the very best podsafe<\/i> reggaeton. And I think you\u2019ll find all the songs on today\u2019s show are fantastic!<\/p>\n
If you dig the today\u2019s reggaeton themed show, you can show your support for the artists who appeared on today\u2019s episode and purchase some of their songs or CDs by clicking the links below.<\/p>\n
Next week we go into a completely different direciton: one hour of blistering noise!<\/p>\n
