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

"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.

North by Northwest
Though the tunes in this Deedlecast have nothing to do with Alfred
Hitchcock's classic movie, North by Northwest, the show starts with one
of DJDeedle's favorite cheesy Cary Grant double entendre movie lines.
Phillip Vandamm: What possessed you to come blundering in here like this? Could it be an overpowering interest in art?
Roger Thornhill: Yes, the art of survival.
Roger Thornhill: Yes, the art of survival.
This week's show is intended both to satisfy your overpowering interest in art, as well as helping you survive.
For those of you who, like DJDeedle, can't get enough of Alfred Hitchcock's genius, try Music for Murder, from June 22 of 2007.

Hero Effect
Heroes,
the NBC television series people who possess unique genetic mutations
giving them unusual, sometimes bizarre, abilities, returns for its new
season on Monday.
This week, DJDeedle uses his bizarre abilities to bring you your very own hero effect.

Iconic
We are a country of icons. Yet we only seem to really see them after they've gone. This week, DJDeedle mixes and mashes up icons of song, stage, and screen. Woven into the fabric of American culture, these voices and sounds help to define who we are, whether we like it or not.

Adrift in A major
It's Labor Day weekend, the traditional, as opposed to astronomical, end of the summer season. We have this weekend to relax before our hectic Autumn schedule begins. So, DJDeedle's decided we all need to chill out, and he's got just the sound to put you there. This week, DJDeedle sets you adrift in the key of A major.

The Deep End
August
is almost over, but the summer heat is still sultry and intense. Time
to play some hookey, skip home room, and jump into the deep end where
its dark, cool, and just slightly dangerous.
Come on in. The water's fine.
If you just can't get enough of the heat, you can also try "Global Warming."

Evergreen (Deedle's Plenary Mix) (Single)
"Evergreen" by Faithless
is just one of those songs that speaks to DJDeedle, tugs at the
heartstrings, and has begged for a DJDeedle remix for a number of
years. So, at long last, here it is.

Rock Block
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair held on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York, 43 miles southwest of the town of Woodstock forty years ago changed the history of rock and roll. For better or worse, the 32 acts in the Woodstock concerts captured the zeitgeist of the age with the diverse sounds of rock legends like Janis Joplin, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, etc. Though four decades have passed, and a fickle music industry and fans have diverged from the sound of 1969, the sounds of the 60s still live today as echos in modern rock, and modern rockers owe much to their Woodstock forebears. Like the those at Woodstock, rock music has mutated, transformed, adapted, and survived. This week DJDeedle salutes not Woodstock, but rock music itself, punk, metal, Brit, garage, grunge, indie, and even electronic. The sound of this week's Deedlecast is rock music, but the flavor is definitely DJDeedle. Enjoy this rock block.

Eyes of the Dragon
DJDeedle
invites you to look into the eyes of the dragon. In the dragon's lair
all things meet their opposite. The future and the past, desire and
regret, knowledge and oblivion, and of course love and . . . Well, you
get the picture.

Digital Invasion
Over thirty years ago the first digital arcade games took the U.S. and the world by storm. Pong and Space Invaders revived the long moribund arcade industry, and spawned a digital revolution. These early two-dimensional games set the game industry on fire, and the world would never be the same again.This week, DJDeedle harkens back to those early days with a little digital invasion of his own. What digitalism did for games, digitalism has done to music as well.
It's time to be invaded. Are you ready?
For those of you who just can't get digital enough, check out "Twisted Digital" from September of 2007.

Antisocial Networking
Social networking is among the many things, like identity theft and pop-up advertising, made simpler and easier by modern digital technology. It is not that we didn't meet people or stay in touch with friends and family before the internet connected us all to spam and Youtube. But with all this new connectivity, even staying in touch with people and meeting new people has been streamlined and systematized, and made almost instantaneous and compulsive. The trouble is that with Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and all the other networks, being privy at all times to our connections' many thoughts, moods, exclamations, whims, concerns, causes, photos, home videos, humors, disappointments, and the other detritus of the human endeavor can be vexing and overwhelming to say the least.
Sometimes receiving an update a minute about the state of mind of the cousin of the woman who was college roommates with the girlfriend of the guy with whom you formed a punk band briefly in the 80s can put us to the saturation point of digital connectedness. Today's Deedlecast speaks to the facebook frustration phenomenon.
Even DJDeedle is not immune from social networking. Want to follow the unselfconscious and shameless self promotion of DJDeedle? Find him on Twitter at http://twitter.com/djdeedle or Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/djdeedle

The Touch
"How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank. Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night become the touches of sweet harmony."
William Shakespeare
"The Merchant of Venice"
"The Merchant of Venice"
Some of these songs have been touched lightly, some have been shoved around a bit. All have been touched in some way or another. Let the sweet sounds of music creep into your ears.

High Times
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, "Keep your head!"

Precision Time
Ladies and gentlemen, synchronize your watches. This week DJDeedle reaches across time to tie together the old and the new, the fresh and the dated, bringing them into precision alignment.
Warning: you may hear some rude words from time to time in this Deedlecast.
Killing Me Softly (Deedle's Ramble)
Lots of old favorites packed in this single: Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack, the Fugees, Phil Collins (in his Genesis days), Coolio (feat. L.V.), Bach, et al.
Just good old fashioned fun, newly fashioned.
Follow the Sun
It's Independence Day weekend, and many of you will likely be off to the beach or otherwise chasing the sun. So, this week DJDeedle provides you with a little collection of tunes to make both your journey and your destination enjoyable, even if following the sun doesn't figure into your plans.
