RZ#151 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: March 2009

Uncle John — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 07:08:32 +0000

I know that it’s been a long time, but here is another episode of RadioZoom. In the spirit of Earth Hour, I used some rare down time to record a Six Song for the first time in a long time. Without getting into more detail, I hope you enjoy it.

RZ#146 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: May 2008

Miss604 — Thu, 15 May 2008 06:51:41 +0000

John is back for a super special Six Song with a theme. In fact it’s so special, there are actually seven songs for your listening pleasure.

Dandy Warhols – Mohammed, Nietzche
Local H – How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Rock, 500,000 Scovilles, What Can I Tell You
Less Than Jake – Motto, History of a Boring Town

And yes, I produced this episode hence the many many seconds of non-speaking at the beginning. But hey, I don’t claim to be a radio professional by any means eh. Thank goodness for podcasting.

RZ#141 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: October 2007

Uncle John — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 00:40:14 +0000

It’s good to get back in the saddle. This is one of three, “catch up” episodes to back fill on those six songs that have been missed. Consider it my Christmas present to you. Watch for a quick turn around on the next two episodes, bringing us up to date and a close for 2007 for the six songs on RZ.

Soft – dumb blood
Shiny Toy Guns – rainy monday
Aberdeen City – sixty lives
Sebadoh – it’s all you

RZ#140 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: September 2007

Uncle John — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 14:07:17 +0000

A long over due episode, but an episode none the less. I take you with me on the road for this six song, a carefully crafted episode that I threw together in haste. Theme? My birthday was last month, so I play tracks that I’ve long wanted to play on RZ but never found the way or time to get them in.

Lou Barlow – caterpillar girl
Rainer Maria – catasrophe
The Dandy Warhols – godless
The Secret Machines – first wave intact
The Appleseed Cast – losing touching searching

RZ #138 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: August 2007

Miss604 — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 16:47:55 +0000

I, Rebecca, join John for this late, but ‘better-late-than-never’, episode of RadioZoom as we dedicate #138 to entirely Can-Con.

What’s Can-Con you ask? Well tune right in while we educate the masses about how broadcasters in Canada are required by law to give Canadian artists and Canadian produced music 35% of their airplay. We one-up these regulations and churn out 100% Canadian content and share six awesome tracks.

Thanks so much to Matthew Good for allowing us to kick off with tunes from his newly-released album, and to the other artists linked below whose music we found on IODA Promonet and the Podsafe Music Network.

Matthew Good – i am not safer than a bank
Matthew Good – the boy come home
Danko Jones – baby hates me
David Usher – the music
Tony Marriott – faith and fairytales
Stars – the night starts here

RZ#136 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: July 2007

Uncle John — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 00:15:52 +0000

Slightly late, but not by much. This is an all submission episode of the Six Song. I’ve let the emails pile up too high, but sorting through the back logs found a lot of cool stuff to play for you.

As I mention in this one, and this is meant for all submitters, be sure you give me mp3’s to play in the podcast. I love hearing about new bands, but having to dig for your music to play is not something I like spending a ton of time on. To the following bands, I am very grateful for leading me directly to your wonderful music. You are awesome.

Scarlatti Tilt – one under
Dick Prall – Hollywood
The October – m.i.a.
The Rev Squad – under my feet
Aaron English – like smoke
Starcode – cold and freezing
Wiser Time – give you my lovin’

RZ#134 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: June 2007

Uncle John — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 22:21:31 +0000

This episode, we’re all about covers. I’ve been amassing a nice collection of artists in terms of who has give their permission to play their music on the podcast. That has allowed us to pick from their collection of recordings and play some of the covers that they’ve done of other various bands from the past.

The Dandy Warhols – hells bells
Local H – 25 or 6 to 4
Nada Surf – if you leave
Mates of State – these days
Lou Barlow – round and round
Matthew Good Band – enjoy the silence

RZ#132 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: May 2007

Uncle John — Thu, 17 May 2007 22:24:56 +0000

Straight and to the point, this month’s six song dives directly into submitted music to the podcast. Thanks to all of those who have sent in emails and mp3’s to have them played on the podcast. I’m late getting to some of them, but we take a listen to a lot of the tracks for the first time together.

Some music for this episode can be found on the Podsafe Music Network, and don’t forget to Save Internet Radio.

Better late than never, here is the six song for this month. Life has been hectic and busy, but we’ll be back with more very soon.

All IODA, all SXSW. This is a direct sampling of six artists from the IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash. I caught wind of this the other day and thought it would make for a great episode for this month’s six song. You might call it lazy, but I explain more as we go along.

RZ#126 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: February 2007

Uncle John — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 22:32:06 +0000

Not a whole lot of back story to this one other than the fact that I’m not feeling very well today, but not so much that I can’t put this six song out. It’s cool, rainy, and cloudy in Vancouver, so I went mellow for today’s theme.

RZ#124 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: January 2007

Uncle John — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 00:39:53 +0000

All ska, but not all the time. That’s right. Six tracks of music thought dead, but I beg to differ. I actually put a bit more commentary into this episode. Never knew I could talk that much about ska music, but that’s just the way it is. All tracks come to you via the Podsafe Music Network.

The Toasters – pendulum

RZ#122 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: December 2006

Uncle John — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 23:40:31 +0000

This is getting out a little later than normal, but I’m blaming the holidays on that one. However, the theme for this installment is in regards to a blog post that I made regarding music at Vancouver Canucks games. It’s gathered some attention from people who are actual hockey DJ’s from various parts of the sport. I’m putting my money where my mouth is and explored the Podsafe Music Network this morning to quickly find some potential new blood for venues around North America.

RZ#115 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: October 2006; Miss 604 Take Over

Miss604 — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 02:12:14 +0000

I am no longer a podcast virgin. I took over all aspects of RadioZoom for Episode #115 as John sat in the wings, being a very gracious co-host, podcast mentor and trainer.

The focus was on the Boston-based band Aberdeen City since I’ve been invited to interview them [miss604] before their show here in Vancouver on Tuesday October 17th. I then selected pod safe artists (from music.podshow.com) who all hail from Boston, MA to keep with a bit of a theme and tribute to my old stomping grounds.

I hope you enjoy and PLEASE leave us some feedback; comments, concerns, rants, raves.

Artist Links:

Aberdeen City – god is going to get sick of me
Silent Service – carolina
Francine – 0’s and 1’s

Matt Harmon – the finer things
Aberdeen City – incredible story

RZ#111 – Six Song Donut Spectacular: September 2006; Farewell to WOXY.com

Uncle John — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 22:40:05 +0000

WOXY.com ends a long running history of being one of the best sources for alternative, independent music today. In this six song(plus two), I pay my respects to one of the greatest radio stations, terrestrial and internet-only, to have ever existed. All songs in this episode were artists that I discovered through WOXY, tracked down, and received permission from.

Today marks another page in rock and roll history. Septmber 15, 2006 will forever be the day that the music stopped, for good, from WOXY.com. Even if it begins again, it will never be the same as it ever was.
