Shoot The Moon
42 years ago this week, the US landed its final manned mission to the moon, Apollo 17. Sending humans to the moon was at the time, and still may be, humankind's greatest achievement yet. What does it take to “shoot the moon?" Motivation, a good plan, and above all good people. This week, Deedlecast aims high, and shoots for the moon. Always aim high.

Horrify (2014 Refright)
It's Halloween, and DJDeedle has produced a Deedlecast to frighten and delight. The horror movie genre has brought us so many deliciously terrifying moments, Deedle just couldn't pass up exploring the music of horror films. DJDeedle's used all kinds of black magic to revamp this classic show from Halloween 2009.

High Times (2014 Refix)
This week, DJDeedle invites you to step into the white room with black curtains near the station to experience the high times.
Though High Times span generations, the clock always reads 4:20, and it's perpetually the time of the season to indulge in a little California dreaming. Just a word of warning as you listen to this Deedlecast, there are a couple of rude words, and always remember what the doormouse said, "Feed your head!"
Sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. This remixed and remastered classic Deedlecast from July 17, 2009 has it all.
Friday, October 17, 2014
Chains of the Familiar (2014 Refix)
Familiar tunes don't have to be tired old music. This week, DJDeedle breaks those chains and sets you free. "Chains of the Familiar" is a remixed and remastered version of the November 23, 2007 version. These sounds may seem a bit familiar, but they never get old.
Friday, October 10, 2014
Back Once Again (2014 Extended and Remastered)
DJDeedle's back once again with some ill behavior, served fresh and hot just the way you like it. This week, he's taken the classic Deedlecast from January 11, 2008, and not only remixed and remastered it, but added to it as well.
Ill behavior warning: This Deedlecast has a rude word or two!

MTV Generation 2014
DJDeedle remembers fondly that day back in the 80s when video killed the radio star. Music videos were something new and amazing, and MTV arrived on the scene to provide them to us on cable. But not for everyone. One had to beg the local cable company to carry MTV.
To be truly part of the MTV generation, one has to remember the excitement when MTV dawned, and VJs ruled the television, serving us hour after hour of brit pop, synth pop, new wave, rock, and even some mainstream rap (and ultimately some hip-hop). New artists, like Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Bryan Adams, and Thomas Dolby arrived on our screens, daily. And groups like Yaz, U2, Duran Duran, Wham, the Cure, the Smiths, and the Police echoed from every school dance, prom, and boom box.
This week, DJDeedle salutes his generation, the MTV generation. We're responsible for all those one-hit wonders from the 80s we now hear in elevators and waiting rooms everywhere.

Supremely
Today's musical landscape would be much different if not for the Supremes, and particularly, Diana Ross. The Supremes were the most popular "girl group" of the 1960's, and the most successful vocal group of the period after the Beatles. The Supremes released hit after hit, charting a dozen number one hits between 1964 and 1969. Ultimately, in 1969, the original group split up, with Diana Ross going more or less solo, touring as Diana Ross & the Supremes, though without Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson.
The influence of the Supremes was vital in shaping the Motown sound and R&B. Similarly, the influence of Diana Ross and her solo work on R&B and Disco cannot be understated. The sounds they pioneered can be found throughout today's music, and modern musicians, both female and male, owe them a debt of gratitude for their groundbreaking work. This week, DJDeedle salutes the queens of popular music, both as a group and in their solo careers, the supremely special Supremes.

Don't stop. Just don't.
Note: Rude words in this one

Plan 9 (2014 Refit)
On May 29, 2009, DJDeedle implemented "Plan 9." As we've seen from the sweeping changes since that date, the plan was entirely effective. This week, DJDeedle has dusted off the plan, given it a new, cleaner, and clearer sound.
It's time to implement "Plan 9" from DJDeedlespace.

Rebound Sound
A life lived to its fullest inevitably means the occasional broken heart. The immediate aftermath, the rebound, is guaranteed to be a touchy and quixotic period. In 2008, DJDeedle brought you the unique sound of the rebound. This week, "Rebound Sound" is back, remixed, remastered, and filled to the brim with that musical rebound angst we all love.
Friday, August 08, 2014
iRobot (v 2014)
In September of 2008, long before iRobot was just some silly vacuum cleaner that scares the cat, DJDeedle brought you iRobot the Deedlecast. DJDeedle knew then that even robots need music. Not unlike ourselves, songs of love, loneliness, lust, loyalty, longing, and loss nourish their circuits and gears. That classic sound is back again, remixed and remastered for 2014.
No matter what kind of robot you happen to be, this Deedlecast will speak to you. All robots depicted in this Deedlecast are purely fictional, and have no relation to me.

Good Cop - Bad Cop (2014 Refit)
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.
Enjoy this remastered and remixed Deedlecast classic from December 2009.

Kaleidoscope
This all new Deedlecast does for sound what a kaleidoscope does for colors. Vivid, rich, amazing patterns emerge from the most unlikely combinations of simple elements.
Now you can have kaleidoscope ears to go with those famous kaleidoscope eyes.

Binary Beat Experiment (2014 Refix)
In October 2009, Deedlecast Laboratories cooked up a collection of beats ranging from the rock, reggae, and R&B variety to beat break, metal, dub, hipop, and jazz. This little beat experiment is back, remastered, remixed, and better than ever.
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.

Loving New York (2014 Refix)
DJDeedle has to leave his tropical island paradise for a quick trip to an island of entirely different sort: Manhattan. Join him as we revisit this classic Deedlecast from 2008, "Loving New York," remastered and remixed for 2014
There are as many ways to love New York as there are things to love about New York. One of the things DJDeedle loves about New York is its sound. In the same way the city's diverse inhabitants mix and mingle in to make New York one of the most extraordinary places on Earth, the diverse sounds and musical styles of the city, from the refined and classic to the gritty and cutting edge, come together into something compelling and fresh.
Just how do you love New York?
Warning: New York style language throughout this Deedlecast.

Down, Down, Down. (2014 Refix)
Back in July 2008, things were pretty bleak. The economy was in the toilet, gas prices were at an all time high, wages were falling, the housing bubble burst, and the stock market sagging. Consumers were really feeling the pinch. DJDeedle implemented his own stimulus package, slashing tempos, dropping keys, and cutting and splicing, well, everything. "Down, Down, Down" is back, remixed and remastered for 2014. It's guaranteed to raise your spirits, if not your 401(k) or house value, this Deedlecast has all the elements you need for a strong recovery!

Phonautograph (2014 Refix)
A recording made by Thomas Edison in 1877 has long been thought to be the first artificially recorded sound. It turns out the first recordings were made in 1860 by Frenchman, Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville, using a Phonautograph. The recording medium was merely paper covered in soot, so the sound literally emerges from smoke. As a result of advances in audio technology, these phonautograph recordings can now be heard again using lasers which do not damage or degrade these precious artifacts.
This Deedlecast is a remastered and remixed ("refixed") version of the classic Deedlecast, "Phonautograph," which aired on June 20, 2008. "Phonautograph" starts with the very first sound ever recorded using the phonautograph (albeit altered quite a bit by dj magic). There are some other similarly altered phonautographic bits and pieces sprinkled throughout the show.
Learn more about the phonautograph.

Music for Murder (2014 Refit)
This Deedlecast gem from 2007 has been begging for a facelife using more modern technology for re-release in 2014. "Music for Murder" is back with a little modern makeover. Remixed, remasterd, and completely refitted. It's mood music in a jugular vein. Truly, to die for!

Flashback: Acid.Funk.Digital
This week we flashback to another of DJDeedle's favorite classic Deedlecasts. Acid.Funk.Digital was too caustic for funk, too funky for acid, and totally digital back in April of 2008. It still is all those things and more in April 2014.

Flashback: Glitch
Even the smoothest running system can encounter a glitch or two. In digital music, bit rate reduction, digital distortion, hardware noise, computer bugs, crashes and system errors can ruin an otherwise flawless musical composition or performance, and be the source of endless agony and frustration. But sometimes, used in the right way, glitches can work a kind of magic on an otherwise mundane sound.
What is interesting about the glitch aesthetic is that it is hard to tell sometimes what sounds are "erroneously" produced, and which are intentional.
This week's Deedlecast is presented in its unedited entirety, glitches and all, and hopefully better for it.

Flashback: DiscoTech
Rumors of the demise of disco are greatly exaggerated. Disco never died, it just went high tech. It's disco time on Deedlecast. But, as you might expect, not your old fashioned disco sound. DJDeedle's breathed new life into the disco sound using 21st Century technological magic.

A Short Break
As we close in on 8 years of weekly Deedlecast, DJDeedle has decided to take a short break to recharge his creative engines, upgrade his technology, and re-engage his musical muses. That just means a little hiatus from weekly production. But he'll never make you face a Friday without facing the music. So, each Friday during the hiatus he'll be highlighting classic shows from the archives, remastered works, and other "lost" episodes.
With over 400 episodes and singles, there's much to choose from. Because of the great volume of shows in the archive, Deedlecast's RSS feed only goes back 200 or so shows, so those of you who have subscribed to the podcast in the past few years may have missed some of these gems. All the shows are available on DJDeedle.com. But, unfortunately, given the limits of technology, those subscribing via iTunes and other podcast apps may not be able to capture some of the earlier shows directly to their devices. In the next few weeks while DJDeedle works under the hood tweaking and upgrading Deedlecast and DJDeedle.com, enjoy these classic flashbacks.
