Fast Break

Everyone needs a break now and then, and DJDeedle's no exception.  As Deedlecast closes in on the end of its eighth year, DJDeedle's going to take a little hiatus from weekly production.  This week's show has all the quick changes and fast breaks you love.  This final Deedlecast of 2013, "Fast Break," will be the last new show for a bit while DJDeedle enjoys a little hiatus, a creative vacation.  

Don't worry. You'll still be able to face the music every Friday, even while DJDeedle's resting.  Each week during the break, we'll feature a classic Deedlecast, remastered and re-released.  The break will be a great time for those of you who've tuned in for years to rehear some of those great old shows.  For those of you who are newer to Deedlecast, you can discover some great shows from the archive that you've missed.

Body in Motion

With winter here, it's tempting to dig in, hibernate, and wait until spring.  But your body deserves better. You need to move, stretch your arms and legs, be active, and get your blood pumping.  Newton's first law says that a body in motion tends to stay in motion.  This week, DJDeedle gives you the energy you need to get yourself in motion and stay that way.  Get up, get out, get down.

PopRocks

Remember that silly urban legend from the 80s about how Mikey from the Life Cereal commercial had blown himself up mixing Poprocks and Coke? We believed a lot of silly things in the 80s. Ridiculous things like “trickle-down economics” (aka Reaganomics), and thinking things like parachute pants and Members Only jackets were cool, or that no one would ever need a computer in their house. And what about all that high hair? What were we thinking? We one thing from the 80s is rock solid and timeless: the 80s sound.

This week, DJDeedle pops those totally awesome 80s tunes. Classic pop really does rock.

Unique Ensemble

An "ensemble" is a unit or group of complementary parts that contribute to a single effect.  This week, just in time for Thanksgiving, DJDeedle has thrown together the unlikely and unexpected, things you'd never thought would work together.  Somehow, it all works out to a seamless and "Unique Ensemble."    These are things that go together well. Très bien ensemble, as the song goes.

Tape Deck

Ah the old mixtape.  Before there were itunes playlists or CD-ROMs, we patiently sat in front of our tape decks and turntables making sentimental, methodical, and thoughtful mixes in real-time. No sterile dragging and dropping digital files. We listened to every note, pouring our hearts into making every millimeter of tape count, every second of time meaningful before the dreaded finality of the hiss of the end of the tape.  So here it is. A simulacrum of and a requiem to those simpler analog days.  Press play on the Tape Deck. Be transported.

Hipster Hop

What the hell is a "hipster?" DJDeedle freely admits to not knowing precisely what a hipster is.  But, perhaps this may be forgiven as hipsters don't seem to know either. From DJDeedle's decidely square perspective, hipsterism appears to be centered mainly around not being "mainstream" (whatever that means), creating a unique appearance, and a desire to be interesting and different. This focus on non-conformity merely for the sake of non-conformity introduces a genuine irony.  By not conforming in such similar ways, hipsters are conforming to a now mainstream and cliched stereotype of, well, a hipster.

One aspect of hipsterism that DJDeedle does understand, however, is the appropriation and use of objects, cliches, and symbols redolent of other eras and cultures for artistic or expressive purposes. DJDeedle hopes that this week's clash of hip-hop against pop, indie, classic rock, etc. will entertain and delight hipsters and squares alike.

Shortwave

Occupying the spectrum between 1,800–30,000 kHz, shortwave radio is ideal for long distance communication because the radio waves are reflected back to Earth from the ionosphere, allowing communication around the curve of the Earth.  This week, DJDeedle has taken control of this dynamic slice of frequencies to bring you a most amazing mix of shortwave sound.  So, no matter where you are on the planet, you're in "Shortwave" range.

Retro Go!

They say you can't know where you're going unless you know where you've been.  This week, DJDeedle fires the retro rockets, propelling you both backward and forward at the same time.  On your mark. Get set. Retro go!

Me Generation

Initially, the "Me Generation" referred to the Baby Boomers, who, during the 60s, 70s, and 80s experienced a period of self-realization, self-fulfillment, and even self-involvement.  This era produced some of the most amazing self indulgent music, and these sounds are all part of that new spirit of individualism pioneered by the "Me Generation."   Now, a new generation, the millennials, has been dubbed not merely the "Me Generation" but the "ME ME ME Generation."  It's time to see what these two generations dedicated to self-realization and instant gratification can generate together!

The Doc is In

If you are familiar with the ITV series, Doc Martin, you know that it is about a highly successful and well educated London surgeon moving to a remote village to be a country doctor.  The central theme of the show is that the sophisticated and irascible Doc just doesn’t fit into the bucolic country culture. Doc Martin sees things one way, and his patients see it quite differently most of the time. As the series progresses, we learn that the perspective of the decidedly type A Doc needs changing as badly as the parochial and eccentric outlook of his patients.  Sometimes throwing together some unlikely, strange, and bizarre combinations, however, can result in the most interesting and satisfying harmonies. The show’s producers set the series to the elegant Tango and Spanish-style music of Colin Towns. A very strange choice for a series about a town in the Cornish seaside. But the music just works.  DJDeedle’s taken some of this excellent music and combined it in some pretty unlikely and unexpected ways.  

This week, the Doc is in.

Razzmatazz

If your favorite song today has any kind of rhythm or beat, it owes all that razzmatazz to the innovations of the Jazz Age. The Jazz Age, typically refers to a period of time between 1919 and 1929.  In reality, though, it never ended.  Modern music owes its very existence to the innovations of jazz musicians like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Dizzie Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller, and Tommy Dorsey, and jazz singers like Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Callaway, Ray Charles, and Bessie Smith.  Rock, hip-hop, rap, funk, disco, house, trance, even country music, employ elements of blues, ragtime, swing, or New Orleans jazz.  This week, DJDeedle returns the favor by bringing all these modern musical genres back to jazz.
