Inches On the Reel-to-reel

I hope to write something later tonight, but I wanted to let you all know that in a few hours, barring any technical glitches, I'll make my debut as a regular DJ on Coup D'Taco, the coolest web-radio broadcast on the entire Internets. Previously I've done some very well-received guest sets, and it's just a fun time overall.

Obviously I'm not actually spinning anything live, being that I have a day job and all. It's a two-hour prerecorded set I prepared earlier in the week. It will broadcast twice today (at noon and 10 pm) and then at random intervals for the next few days. Click here to go directly to the stream.

I won't insult your intelligence by explicating the theme of the current set, which I have christened "Deja Vu All Over Again". Well, okay, maybe I will. It's the same sequence of 17 songs, played twice. The first time is the original (or most well-known) version of the song, and the second time someone else is doing it. There's a lot of bizarre stuff on here - some you know, some you probably don't. Look for Public Enemy, the Dead Kennedys, Elvis Costello (natch), Magnetic Fields, and Destiny's Child, among other great stuff. (Coup D'Taco's mission is to bring incongruity and eclecticism to listeners across the globe in new and creative ways. DJ Tacologic gets on my case for not including enough electronic stuff, but otherwise I think I'm doing okay so far.)
