Electric Pie
There's nothing better than a nice slice of pie. DJDeedle has loaded
up this week's serving with many electronic layers, both familiar and

Down, Down, Down
With the economy in the toilet, gas prices at an all time high, rising inflation, falling wages, the housing bubble burst,and the stock market sagging, consumers are really feeling the pinch. DJDeedle is implementing his own stimulus package, slashing tempos, dropping keys,and cutting and splicing, well, everything.

Liquid Genius of Love (Single)
Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" is one of the most recognizable and most popularly sampled tracks. The original song was a huge hit in 1981 and 1982, no-doubt aided by the advent of MTV. DJDeedle takes liberties with "Genius of Love," mixing in a flair here and there, as well as Gringo Star, Party Ben, Fergie, and Seal.

The New Frontier is Here
On July 15, 1960, John F. Kennedy accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States. In his address
to the convention in the packed Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles,
California, he declared, among other things, that "the new frontier is
here whether we seek it or not."
In honor of President Kennedy's brave rhetoric that day, DJDeedle sends you to the very edge. The new frontier is here.

iPhone Envy
Just a year ago, on June 29, 2007, Apple shocked the world with the introduction of the ultimate hand-held gadget to date -- the Iphone. And next week, Apple will release it's second edition of their ultimate do-dad.
The Iphone is a unique phenomenon in the culture: simultaneously pretentious and geeky. Its sleek tactile functionality has made it almost a fetish for owners, and powerfully envy inducing for the rest of us. Though DJDeedle and the Long-Suffering-One have been helpless to resist the multitude of other Apple products, both computers and ipods, we have thus far resisted the Iphone Borg implants. We've managed this for two reasons: (1) the Iphone is locked to AT&T wireless service; and (2) we like our ipods, and we like our cell phones, but we do not want them to be the same device. The last thing DJDeedle needs is phonecalls interrupting his musical bliss.
This Deedlecast is dedicated to both the Iphone haves and have-nots

Phonautograph
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 deMartinville, 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 starts with the very first sound every 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.

I Am Me Cruel Summer Luv
DJDeedle loves the summer, but it's only the second week of June and already the summer's become cruel. Happily, DJDeedle's longtime friend, and an extremely talented musician, Walter knows how to take Deedle's mind of the heat. Walter is acquainted with not just DJDeedle, but other more bona fide musicians, and took the liberty of forwarding his Brion's mix/remix of Sean Paul's unreleased "Me Luv." Of course, Deedle couldn't help himself and presents "I Am Me Cruel Summer Love," comprised of Brion's "Me Luv" (with Sean Paul) v. Massive Attack's "I Am" v. Ace of Base's "Cruel Summer".
Many thanks, Brion, Walter, and, of course, Sean Paul. When "Me Luv" is released, please buy it!

Fractal Lounge
DJDeedle welcomes you to the Fractal Lounge: a setting of unusual melodies and intricate repeating patterns evolving into something entirely different and surprising.
A fractal often has the following features:
- It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales.
- It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language.
- It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically).
- It has a simple and recursive definition.[2]

Get Loaded and Have a Good Time
NOTE: Reposted due to technical difficulties.
It's Memorial Day weekend, the traditional start of the summer season. While Memorial Day is supposed to be a holiday commemorating American men and women who have died in military service to their country, most of the country takes the opportunity to ignore the more serious aspect of the holiday, and take the weekend to get loaded and have a good time. Please feel free to enjoy your Memorial Day holiday, get loaded, and have a good time. Just don't forget all those service members we've lost, and those still at risk. This Deedlecast is dedicated to them.
Special Note: What could be more American than Tammy Wynette? The late (yet immortal) Ms. Wynette makes a guest appearance this week on Deedlecast along with her friends, the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (The JAMs or KLF) in DJDeedle's special arrangement of a surprising classic.

More Mika: DJDeedle - Relax[ation] Method
Friday's Deedlecast, "What Lola Wants," featured a mash of Mika's "Relax (Take It Easy)." Who knew Mika was so popular? Several requests this weekend have convinced DJDeedle to go through his Mika bits and bytes and give you another, extended, flavor of "Relax."

What Lola Wants
You've got to learn a little trick whereby a man climbs up above his fellow man. The trick is not who does what, but who does what, when.
All the while, though, keep in mind the biggest trick of all:
what Lola wants, Lola gets.
Caution: Lola wants some rude language here and there.

Club Pleasuredome
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Samuel Taylor Colridge, "Kubla Khan: or A Vision, A Dream, A Fragment."
This week, DJDeedle takes you to the mysterious, elusive, and exclusive Club Pleasuredome. Those of you who enjoyed the visit to the club too hip for me should especially relish this visit to a most opulent and energetic dance club.

BBC News 24 (Deedle's Convergent Mix)
Inspired by a good friend's, and fellow BBC fan's, blog post about BBC News' revamped image, title music, and opening sequence, this is a mix of three of the incomparable David Lowe's BBC sequences, and seven other BBC 24 News countdowns, announcements, and stings from the early 80s to the present.
Don't forget, the next Deedlecast airs on its usual Friday, and the next news bulletin is at the top of the hour.
