Hello, I\u2019m Joseph Aleo and welcome to the Weekly Mix!<\/p>\n
What is the Weekly Mix? It\u2019s a show that features seven tracks from the last week that I\u2019ve posted to Facebook and Twitter for my #songoftheday series. The songs are old and new, but with an emphasis on the new and are from many different genres. What unites all the tracks you\u2019ll hear on today\u2019s show and every show going forward is that they are fantastic and deserved to be heard.<\/p>\n
The mixes often won\u2019t be seamless and smooth because that\u2019s not what I\u2019m going for on this show. Again, I\u2019m just delivering a week\u2019s worth of the songs of the day in one place. That pains me as a deejay because as a deejay I\u2019m all about the segue, but so be it.<\/p>\n
The Weekly Mix will also include an introduction from the featured band or musician whenever possible. For example, on today\u2019s show, you\u2019ll hear from Preacher vs Choir and HypeMan Sage.<\/p>\n
I only have a couple introductions on today\u2019s episode because the Weekly Mix doesn\u2019t have an audience yet, so if you like what you hear, please feel free to introduce your friends to the Weekly Mix. The more people who listen, the more talent I can get to participate on future shows.<\/p>\n
Another reason should you listen to the Weekly Mix is because I\u2019ve been a deejay and podcast producer for nearly 30 years. I have great taste in music and I want to share that music with you. Some of the music you\u2019ll hear might not be your cup of tea but I think you\u2019ll recognize that it\u2019s good stuff. The music that is<\/em> your cup of tea I hope will become your new favorite song. In fact, if you hear a song on today\u2019s show that you like, I encourage you to go out and buy it to help support the artist.<\/p>\n The album art for each Weekly Mix features an illustration by the wonderful Geneva B. My girlfriend discovered Geneva on Instagram and I quickly became a fan. When I decided to launch the Weekly Mix I immediately contacted her for permission to use one of her illustrations for the show. You can find her on Instagram<\/a> or find her online at her website<\/a> . I hope to talk with Geneva on the Weekly Mix in the near future.<\/p>\n You can find me on Twitter at @josephaleo<\/a>.
