Today\u2019s pretty unusual for solipsistic NATION<\/b> because I\u2019m playing songs that came up on my iPhone while on shuffle.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m only going to do this once because I\u2019m pretty anal retentive on how I put the shows together. Behind the scenes I lovingly and painstakingly craft the mixes you hear. To just let my iPhone randomly choose the tracks unnerves me. Oh, sure, I\u2019ve gotten ideas for shows while listening on shuffle but sometimes my iPhone will play terrible tracks. Or great tracks that would sound terrible together in a mix. But I\u2019ve decided to throw caution to the wind and just see what happens.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s kind of exciting because today\u2019s show is just as much a surprise for me as it will be for you!<\/p>\n
The other thing that\u2019s different about today\u2019s show is that I decided that as long as I\u2019m going to let my iPhone pick the songs I might as well as record the solipsistic NATION<\/b> IDs on my iPhone too. And if I\u2019m going to record the IDs on my iPhone then why not record the IDs in various spots in San Diego and take photos of those locations with my iPhone? You can see the photos below.<\/p>\n
One spot I recorded an ID is at the Krakatoa Cafe<\/a>. The Krakatoa Cafe is in my neighborhood and I\u2019ve met several of the guests that have appeared on solipsistic NATION<\/b> at Krakatoa such as Riley Warren<\/a> and Stuntdouble<\/a>. I also recorded an ID on my roof deck where I often relax when I convert editions of solipsistic NATION<\/b> to MP3. One ID was recorded at Luigi\u2019s Pizzeria<\/a>. I\u2019m more of a Chicago deep dish guy but I have to admit that Luigi\u2019s New York style pizza is pretty dope. Finally, I recorded an ID at the Cuban Cigar Factory<\/a> because I was trying to find a Perdomo Lot 23 Churchill Natural<\/a> at Cameron Reilly<\/a>\u2018s, host of the G\u2019day World<\/a> podcast, recommendation. No luck finding the cigar, though.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the show. Hope you like it despite the unevenness of the mix but, hey, that\u2019s what happens when you allow randomness into your life.<\/p>\n Join us again next week for a special live set<\/a> from Mad EP<\/a>!<\/p>\n
