So Clifton did the first half of both Recognition and Instrumental the second half I followed with.  Then of course I did Ned's Mystery Machine for the few minutes before Stella shows up.  I must confess the recordings are a little messed up because I forgot to change the settings from the previous use.  Anyways the music is still there and its beautiful.  So here are the links and soon there will be the sets up also.

Okay I have been slacking like crazy!

So this is what I am going to do.  I really need to post both set lists and recordings, but I am so behind I feel engulfed.  So I will post a bunch of recordings and then in the coming weeks I will fill in the set lists.  If you are hurting to know a song then just request that set list and I will get on it.  Anyways I apologize, but I just haven't been feeling being productive.  I have been so busy I want to just chill in my spare time. 

Saturday, April 23, 2011

Okay here is my present concern.

All these mixes are being stored on dropbox.  My dropbox just hit capacity.  Which means I need to either spend $100 to be able to add a bunch more mixes or convince people who like my blog to take 3-5 minutes out of their life and open a dropbox account from my referal.  What this will do will temporarily easy my burden of needing more space (though it is just a bandage, but I don't have $100).  With your referral I will be given a bit of extra space.  It will cost you nothing to open an account and they will not send you any crap besides a welcome letter.  So please held me add music:

Thank you,

Ned.

Okay People I owe you

I know I need to get last weeks set up and running.  It will be coming.  I got a busy day tomorrow, but if I can get up early enough I will get both tonight's set and last weeks set up.  I apologize.  That whole link mayhem really set me for a spin.  I am still struggling with this fancy computer age that we live in, but one day I will catch up.  Anyways hope you can tune in tonight, but if not you can check it later.  Peace,
Ned

Saturday, April 16, 2011

So there is a problem with the links!!

Okay, it looks like my dropbox account has been suspended for to much traffic.  Dropbox is the mechanism which houses all of my mixes.  As happy as I am that people are digging the site this sucks!  So I will be trying to figure out how to resolve this problem.  Once again I know nothing about computers so I will attempt my best to resolve this issue or if worse comes to worse my links will work again in 3 days...Actually I just had an idea!  Hopefully it works and I should be up and running later today, well at least I can get yesterdays mix up. No promises, but wish me good luck.  Sorry for the inconvenience and if it is your first time here I hope you will return to hear.

Set list 4/8/2011

What up everybody!  So everything seemed to workout this week.  I was hanging out with Shoe and we did a little back and forth for the most part.  Occasionally either him or I would play a couple tracks.  Lot of chillin' and shooting the shit so the set is pretty kickback for the most part.  Big shout out to Shoe for spinning and hanging.  Hope you all enjoy it.  Right click on the titles if you want to download the mix.  I believe one of the mixes starts during the second song, I forget every week that I am suppose to record.  Oops!

Set list 4/1/2011

Hello Folks,
So it looks like I did a better job of recording this week so that's a plus.  I am still getting use to the recorder though and I think in the Recognition set there might be a 2-3second pause that happens during Footsteps in the Dark.  Well actually you will not notice the pause, but you will notice a part of the song that sounds like it skips and thats because I hit pause.  So with that said I hope you can forgive me and I hope you still enjoy the tunes.  Also I would love it if you could become a follower of this blog if you like it.  That would really brighten my day and its my bday in a few days so it could be a present to me.  Anyways thanks for checking out the blog.  Also if you did not know, before you click on the link you can right click and you can download the recording if you so please.  Much love & thanks for your time,

Set list 3/24/2011

Okay so I apologize for this taking so long to get out.  I was extremely lazy all weekend and the truth of the matter is that when I recorded the set I messed up the recording so bad that I missed all of Recognition and I only recorded part of Instrumental.  Because of this blunder I was less enthralled to spend Saturday morning attempting to complete this.  Luckly there was no guest deejay so the only person to get upset is me...well and those of you who expected to listen to it.  Anyways thanks for hopefully being understanding and ya that is all.  Much love,

*Just a heads up as I type this I remember how horribly I was tracking everything (Hence also the problem with the recorder) and I have no clue if I forgot stuff or what.  I do recall playing the beginning of something at 45 that should have been played at 33 so maybe its best this set just drifts off into space...
**On that note, now I am actually listening to what I did record.  I actually recorded my friends and I hanging out and shooting the shit as opposed to the set.  What happened is I plugged the end I record into the headphones and I plugged the headphone end into what should have been recorded.  Dumb ass!

***Ok it turns out I messed up all of the recordings.  Oops, lets see if I can shoot for something better next week.

Set list 3/18/2011 Guest: The Markness

So Mark and I basically went back and forth through both of these sets.  Occasionally one of us would play a couple songs and Shoe was also up and hanging out and he dropped a track or two.  Good times, I hope you all enjoy.  Oh there was one downer for the evening... Ned Learner's Mystery Machine did not occur due to time constraints.  That just means the gems will pile up until the next mystery.  Finally I tried my best to read the Markness' writing, but I apologize for any mistakes that I have made.  Much love,

Set list 3/11/2011 Guest: Mr.Numberwonderful

What up people!  I hope everyone had a nice week.  I want to thank Mr.Numberwonderful for coming up and djing with me last night.  He spun some great tracks.  He ran Recognition and then on Instrumental we went back and forth.  Then on Ned's Mystery Machine I dropped those tracks.  Just a little heads up.  The recording on Recognition starts off a little poor.  I didn't adjust the levels correctly until maybe 10minutes in.  Also Mr.Numberwonderful was given a crash course in learning how to run the boards and that didn't go very smooth in the beginning (I was a poor teacher busy eating my dinner).  Anyways much love for listening.  Oh one last thing, I am struggling to read some of Mr.Numberwonderful's writing so I might have things off slightly, sorry.

Wow!

So on V-day I had a ton of people checking the blog.  I am unsure of why this is the case, but it makes me feel like I owe a V-day mix.  So to resolve this situation I will talk to Dj Honeysuckle and see if she can dig up this V-day mix I made her a few years ago.  She is a Beatles junky so I put together an all soul Beatles tribute album.  I can't recall if it is a mix or if it is tracked out individually, but I will get that up if we can find it. 

My new recording device...

Shall be appearing in the mail any day now and I plan on putting up some mixes that I record from the homestead.  I am very excited, I have already pulled some records for this momentous occasion.  Though I have only pulled records and have not practiced any kind of mixing I still think there will be some fun mixes coming soon, so please stay tuned!!
 Thanks,
Ned

Dj Frane & Friends live 2/06/09

 Dj Frane came up one day with a slew of musicians and they just jammed.  Many of them had never played together before.  The only consistency in the band was that Frane asked them each to come up and play.  They were amazing!  I love listening to this.

Okay what is exciting about this night is that I decided that I will start a new show.  I decided this at about 11:03pm.  Stella is usually running late about 10-15 minutes...so what that means is that I will take this time to play the music that does not fit into either of my shows and play it during this time.  This will be music that I am currently listening to and wanting to share, but just did not have the avenue to share it.  So please stay tuned for more of Ned's Mystery Machine.

Questions???

What do you people want me to put on this blog?  Is there any set lists that I slept on or any sets that I can attempt to dig up that I have audio on or what?  I plan on getting up a few more live performances soon.  I will be putting up the Frane and friends live set.  Rona and I have been playing phone tag, but I am sure Healamonster & Tarsier will allow me to add their live instrumental set.  Is there any other live performances that people might be interested in and that I can dig up?  Might be able to dig up the OJO live performance also.  Let me know.

My Computer's Memory has been saved!!!

This is great new!  Great great news!  What this means once it is all back in order and I can start transforming files I will be able to post a lot of previous sets.  Here is the deal.  I recorded about 6+ months of my show, random sets, live recordings, etc.  For the last 4+ months my computer has been dead.  So I don't even remember what is on there, but in the next several days I should be able to begin accessing it all again.  So stay tuned.  Oh also check some of the comments to older posts because people are uploading sets to download that I don't even have. 

Set list 12/3/2010 guest: Rock Cousteau

So here is a requested set list.  There is a slight problem though... Rock Cousteau and I spun both Recognition and Instrumental together.  As the evening went on we had more and more fun and by the time instrumental hit we stopped writing down a set list.  So... here is the Recognition set only. Sorry about that.

9/13/2010 Recognition: Chris Griffiths/ Instrumental: Red Sparowes

Ok, so per request and the fact that I luckily had a recording on hand here is a set the Chris Griffiths did on Recognition.  The tail end of this mix actually transforms into the beginning of Instrumental.  The guests I had on Instrumental were Red Sparowes who were leaving for tour the next night... just actually found a complete recording of that during this post so I will have both sets up.  Hope you enjoy.

We Break Cameras live on Instrumental

Ok so this starts with my set from Recognition then eventually goes into a live performance from "We Break Cameras." This occurred sometime in 2010.  I hope you like both parts.  I am unsure of the set that I played (I actually have not listen to this in forever, I just dug it up on DJ Honeysuckle's computer), I might be able to eventually find the set list.

Hopefully this works, remember this is all new to me.  I hope you enjoy.  If this does not work please let me know.  Thanks,

mix: We Break Cameras live on Instrumental

I am so confused

Ok so this is my first attempt at a blog and I am way confused.  I am a simple man who likes simple things and as cool as computers are and can be 90% of this high tec world is over my head.  Already I tried to make my blog look a certain way and as I type this everything I have done has already disappeared. 

Anyways the goal behind this blog is to put set list up that I have concocted.  Every Friday night between 9-11pm I do two radio shows for Kxlu.  From 9-10pm I do a show called "Recogntion."  This show is all about soul.  Much of what I play comes out of the late 60's to early to mid 70's.  Occasionally I might play a new artist that is a throw back to this period.  There may even be the occasional show that hits the late 70's to possibly the early 80's.  Definitly not that often because my personal tastes don't really travel often down those roads, but you know music for me is about moods.  If I am in that mood you better recognize I will drop it. 

To continue on, from about 10-11pm I do another show which is called "Instrumental."  This show I started almost 9 years ago.  This show grew out of the feeling that everyone I knew and would meet was really obsessed with singers and their voices.  I wanted to remind people that what makes music great is the instruments being played.  Anyone can listen to words and arrive at what the artist is trying to portray, but its harder to come to the same conclusion as the artist when it is all about the feeling that is being passed through the music.  With this being said "Instrumental" was born.  Some people love it, some people hate it.  I love it, maybe you do to.  This show is really about just kicking back and riding a vibe.  So there you have it.  This is my first entry into a blog that I hope I have the patience to keep up.  I hope you can find enjoyment in this.

Besides for just dropping set lists here I hope to also provide you folks with actual mixes or links to mixes that I have made here or there.  Thanks so much for your time,
