Black Hole

There is an inexorable force in the cosmos, that begins where everything ends. 

We have never sent them directly, yet we know they are there, lurking win dark star clusters.  Or wandering the dustlands of the galaxies, where they prey on stars or swallow planets whole.  Our Milkyway may harbor millions of these massive black holes, the ultra-dense remnants of dead stars. 

There's evidence of something even more ominous. A breed of black holes that have reached incomprehensible size and destructive power.  Supermassive black holes.  They are out there, roaming the cosmos, eating planets and stars.  Cross the event horizon with DJDeedle and experience the true singularity. 

Remember, in space, no one can hear you scream.

Mission Impossible

When
DJDeedle was a kid, he watched endless hours of the old television
series Mission Impossible. This week DJDeedle tries to capture the cool
modern jazz feel of the classic Mission Impossible television series,
and the action-packed, fast-paced feel of the movie version of the
Mission Impossible franchise. 

A word of caution: some rude words in this Deedlecast - PG-13.

Atomic Age Sound

Remember how much fun we used to have when we were under imminent threat of nuclear annihilation by the Soviet Union? Well, it's about time we brought back the kind of fun only such an existential crisis provides.

With fear of surprise attack back in fashion again, DJDeedle brings you some sounds for the new atomic age. This week, DJDeedle makes rampant paranoia, coupled with useless advice from the government, fun again. Remember, when the attack comes, duck and cover! Or coat your house in plastic and duct tape! Or cry uncontrollably. Or something. But have fun while you do it.


Welcome to the new atomic age.

The Future Edition

The future is now on Deedlecast.  An event has has been triggered in the contiuum, the t[w]imeline has been compromised.  A small parcel of t[w]ime, a window, has opened into the henceforward. A message, the Future Edition, has arrived from 2034.  No need to fear the future, though much of it may seem strange, it's sounds are more familiar than one would expect.

Audiophile

Though DJDeedle usually faces the music every Friday, this week and next, Deedlecast arrives on Thursday so your tunes will be handy for Christmas and New Year's Day. 

This week, DJDeedle indulges the audiophiles in the audience with a little of this and a little of that to test the highs and lows, and the limits and levels, of your system's woofers and tweeters.  So, if you happen to get a fancy new sound system, a new ipod, new speakers, or new computer from Santa, this week's Deedlecast uses the full range of sound and tone to ensure your new toy is up to Deedlecast standards.

Now Sound of X-mas

DanceRadio

As
winter sets in, the days are short and the nights are long, the weather
turns chill, and we find ourselves hard pressed to leave our comfy
homes.  When the need to dance strikes, though, what are we to do?  Not
to worry!  We can always dance to the the radio.  Not that crap that
comes over the airwaves, though - DJDeedle's radio, DanceRadio. 

This week, tune to the groove, crank up this Deedlecast, and dance like no one's watching.

GoodCopBadCop

Sometimes
to get the result you want, you have to play a little
good-cop-bad-cop, the hard with the soft, the rough with the smooth,
the gentle with the cruel.  This week's Deedlecast plays all those
cards and breaks down even the toughest veneer, the most hardened
felon, the baddest riff, the blackest beat.  Before listening to
this show, you may want to call your lawyer.

Smoke+Mirror

This holiday week, DJDeedle dials the beat down a little. Or does he? This Deedlecast is all sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors, and you'll never guess what's coming next.

32-bit DJ

Technology is notoriously fickle.  What today is state-of-the art is laughably dated tomorrow.  Though the digital world may be moving from quaint 32-bit to zippy 64-bit, this digital deejay is in no hurry. 

Find all this computer architecture stuff a little mystifying? No worry.  Leave it all to DJDeedle - for now, your 32-bit DJ.  This week's Deedlecast weaves the old and the new, the digital and the analog, the electronic and the acoustic. The music may be virtual, but the DJ is very real.

The Visitation

They've arrived unexpectedly, and it appears they'd like to stay.  Beware of visitors bearing gifts. 

This week, DJDeedle brings you the sounds you need to keep your sanity when it looks like there's no escape.

Cosmology

"If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."  Carl Sagan, "Cosmos"



Cosmology is the study of the universe and humankind's place in it.  When DJDeedle was a  young geeky human, one of his heroes was the famed astronomer, astrophysicist, and cosmologist, Carl Sagan.  Your humble deejay even had the fortune to meet Sagan, and hear him speak just a year or two before the astronomer's unexpected death in 1996. 

This week, the week of Sagan's November 9 birthday, DJDeedle salutes him with a tapestry of sound that, like the cosmos, is fluid, but lumpy, sometimes dark, and sometimes sublimely beautiful.  This Deedlecast starts with Sagan's voice, and ends with a DJDeedle remix/mashup of two youtube creations, a moving and haunting tribute to Sagan and his work, "Cosmos," and an ode to science and man's place in the cosmos, featuring Sagan and his colleague scientists, Bill Nye, Stephen Hawking, Richard Feynman, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Capucine Substitute (Single)

Through the magic of Twitter,
DJDeedle's had the great fortune of finding the work of Harold Pichol. 
Harold's musical creation, "Capucine," has a sensual groove, and
DJDeedle just couldn't resist tinkering with it, and mix/mashing it
with Madonna's sensual groove, "Substitute for Love."

Harold's story, along with his other musical and artistic works, are available at his website: http://www.haroldito.com.  Check it out.

Also, you can follow him on twitter: @Har0ld

Binary Beat Experiment

Come
into Deedlecast Laboratories and hear what DJDeedle's cooked up for
you.  This week, it's a collection of beats ranging from the rock,
reggae, and R&B variety to beat break, metal, dub, hipop, and
jazz. 

Remember, as Richard Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of the Bucky Ball,  famously said, “There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes.”

This week's Deedlecast experiment is just one of those unexpected outcomes.

Iconoclast

"Every great truth begins as a blasphemy."  

-- George Bernard Shaw



"Irreverence is the champion of liberty." 
-- Mark Twain

Wednesday, September 30 was International Blasphemy Day,
the day to thumb your nose at religion.  Clearly something as fun as
blasphemy should not be confined to only one day. So, this week
DJDeedle touches the third rail of any discourse, religion.  Though
DJDeedle is most decidedly a skeptic and nonbeliever, utterly and
firmly unchurched, he realizes that artists throughout the ages,
including musicians, have included religious images and references in
their creations. 

Modern musicians from Depeche Mode to Johnny Cash and
the Doobie Brothers and Kanye West have included references to Jesus in
their works, and others like Jesus and Mary Chain and MC 900 Foot Jesus
even included everyone's favorite imaginary friend in their band names.
  If these august artists can take liberties with religion, so can
DJDeedle.   Exercising your freedom of and from religion can be fun,
and above all, entertaining.
