DJ RJ's ModCast

I actually compiled this cast a couple of days ago so that I wouldn’t have to worry about selecting some Yultide Cheer at the last moment.

To both listeners, if you’re hoping for Christmas music, I’m going to put that off until December 21 — in theory, I could do a new cast of Christmas music every week, and have it all different, but I want to save stuff for next year.

As for this week’s set, I know I don’t like to do any one band two weeks in a row, and i think I did that last week, too, but sometimes a set works best with a specific song or two, and it cannot be helped.

I really don’t want to upload this as it is, but I cheated both listeners out on a Wednesday cast last week, and I don’t want to pull that shit again this week.

Now, not all of my stuff on LP is backed-up / duplicated on mp3 — in fact, most of it is not. Hell, most of my CD’s aren’t simply because I don’t have the space. Four songs from my June 10th, 2008 set at Direct Hits are songs I currently have on vinyl only — in fact, three of them, I thought I had on mp3, but it turned out that I didn’t, and the only reason I didn’t just download them is because I had a huge crisis last night that was more important than hunting down four songs on slsk.

(v) ≠ “vagina”; (v) = song I currently only have on vinyl
(r) = request

The Spiders – Why Don’t you Love Me?*
The Bureau – Only For Sheep
(v) Tina Turner – The Acid Queen
(v) The Rolling Stones – Route 66
Makin’ Time – Two Coins For the Ferryman
