Deedlecast

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, the traditional start of the summer season.  So, on this holiday, it's time to switch gears and think about cookouts, trips to the pool and the beach, and tall cool cocktails to cut the heat.  While you are enjoying the summertime pace, and the traditional activities of the season, here are some summer toe-tappers to keep the rhythm right DJDeedle style.

We Americans love our pop stars.  But we are a fickle people, and

today's idol is tomorrow's faded fashion.  This week, DJDeedle brings

together some of our stars of the moment with pop idols from the past, some of whom may have outlasted their fifteen minutes of idolatry and become infamous classics.

The Cylons were created by man.

They rebelled.

They evolved.

They look and feel human.

Some are programmed to think they are human.

There are many copies.And they really know how to throw down.Get your inner Cylon on.  Let the attack begin. Warning:  This Deedlecast has some fracking feldercarb language in it.

At last, you truly can enjoy the silence.  DJDeedle gives you the silent treatment the way it really should be served:  Dramatic. Very dramatic.

"Hi fi" is a term used by audiophiles to refer to high quality reproduction of sound, so free of noise and distortion, and so highly tuned with accurate frequency response as to be extremely faithful to the original performance.  Though the component songs in this Deedlecast certainly were never performed quite like this originally,  DJDeedle stays faithful to their original spirit and provides them to you in virtual hi fi.

This week DJDeedle turns technological lemons into a sweet surprise.  DJDeedle invites you to the Print\Jam.  Let the machines do their thing, and some familiar things may turn out in ways you'd never expect.

Everyone's story deserves a happy ending.  But when it looks like that it's just not in the cards, sometimes you just have to pull one from thin air.  All's well that ends well.  And above all, no matter how fictional, end it well.

DJDeedle's back from the beach, back to work, totally jetlagged, and

feeling a bit like  zombie.  But that's not so bad.  Despite their

somewhat deserved reputation for being dead and spending most their time wandering the Earth eating people's

brains, Zombies have a culture of their own, and often they really know

how to seize the moment and party.  This week, soak up some Zombie culture.  It's anything but dead.  A word of caution: This Zombiecast has a couple of rude words in it - but what do you expect from dead people?

The nation's elites, from politicians to leaders of business and

finance, have been caught playing fast and loose with the rules.  More

serious than smoking in the gym and calling the English teacher

"Daddio," they've tarnished our national reputation, run up our bills,

robbed our savings, and stalled our economy. Now that it's time to take

them to task, they've all come down with Charlie Brown Syndrome,

crying, "why is everybody always picking on me!?"  While we contemplate

how to punish these scoundrels for their misdeeds, let's enjoy a little

music, wait for our piece of the stimulus package, and watch the

chickens come home to roost.

A different sound, a change of style. Sooner or later, it happens to everyone. Sound collage, experimental melodies, classic songs made over, and some tinkering with the sublime sonics of the master of ambient drone, John Pemble.  DJDeedle uses some of Pemble's sublime sonics as the canvas on which to paint other melodies and mysterious, but beautiful, sounds.  Can't get enough of John Pemble, check out his site and buy his sonics at Johnpemble.com.Can't get enough of Deedle mashing John Pemble's sonics, check out Deedle's John Pemble mash, Out of Time v. Intimate Softness.
