solipsistic NATION No. 39: Aggro!
May 25, 2007 | 2 Comments
Each week on solipsistic NATION I play the best of all genres of electronic music. Sometimes I mix it up but most of the time I pick with a theme or a genre and run with it.
This week’s solipsistic NATION is especially for Francis. While he loves the show and digs Nerdcore he really likes industrial music, and who am I to deny him? So crank up the volume, kick in your television and burn down your city because it’s time to get aggro!

solipsistic NATION No. 38: Nacional Records
May 18, 2007 | 5 Comments
This week on solipsistic NATION we focus on electronic music from Nacional Records. We’ll also talk with Nacional Records founder, Tomas Cookman.
Nacional Records is an ADA/Warner Music Group-distributed label founded by artist manager Tomas Cookman. The label’s philosophy is to bring the best in Latin alternative, Hip-Hop, and Electronic music to Spanish and English speakers alike. Among Nacional’s releases are the solo debut from Aterciopelados frontwoman Andrea Echeverri, as well as albums from Aterciopelados, Nortec Collective, Sara Valenzuela, Nortec member Panoptica and a compilation produced in conjunction with KCRW entitled “Sounds Eclectico”.
Keeping with the theme of Nacional Records, on this week’s solipsistic NATION I’ll give away Nortec Collective’s CD, Tijuana Sessions, Vol. 3.
The third compilation from the loosely organized Nortec Collective offers four years of development from the debut, and there’s an even greater cohesion of sound. Driven by bouncy, tongue-in-cheek tracks such as “Tijuana Makes Me Happy,” the album was a favorite in Latin Alternative circles, and found a home on both college and satellite radio in the US.

solipsistic NATION No. 37: Verbalize
May 11, 2007 | 3 Comments
Today’s special guest is my dad.
My father has had a profound impact on my life as well as influencing my tastes in music. Thanks to him, I grew up listening to The Beatles, Kraftwork, and Segovia as well as the subversive comedy of the Firesign Theater. I’ve introduced him to the likes of the Sex Pistols and The Orb and he introduced me to The Pogues and DJ Spooky.
He’s also had some great ideas for radio programs and podcasts. One idea was to introduce each song on a show with a bit of background on the artist and the song. As a deejay and especially as a deejay for an electronic music show I was resistant to the idea because half the fun of solipsistic NATION is taking people on a journey with a seamless mix so the last thing I wanted to do was break up that mix by talking about each song.
On today’s show we’re going to experiment with the format by trying his idea. In fact, I thought it would be cool to have each artist introduce themselves and their songs.

solipsistic NATION No. 36: Sic Semper Tyrannus
May 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on May 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! H.R. 2060, The Internet Radio Equality Act was introduced by Representatives Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Donald Manzullo (R-IL ) to save the Internet radio industry. Please call your congressperson to ask them to co-sponsor H.R. 2060 by clicking here.
