Dave Allen’s PDX Ripped: Northwest Institute for Social Change
Unlike terrestrial radio, Moose Radio doesn’t suck gas nor trample the earth…
Dave Allen says, “Phil Busse invited me to DJ a set for his burgeoning endeavor, the Northwest Institute for Social Change. Here’s their blurb:
“For the past two months, we have hosted 13 college students from around the country—from Boston University, Princeton, Reed. They have been studying the “masters” (Ed Murrow, David Halberstam, Studs Turkel, etc.) and figuring out how they can translate that journalist dignity and honor to the new opportunities that technology presents. It is a chance for a new generation to begin careers as independent journalists.”
And here’s a 30 minute slice from my set:
01. Gorillaz - Rock The House
02. Groove Armada - I See You Baby
03. Hot Chip - And I Was A Boy From School
04. James Brown - Get On The Good Foot
05. Kanye West - Throw Some D’s
06. Kanye West and Daft Punk - Stronger
07. Public Enemy - Fight The Power

Dave Allen’s PDX Ripped: Old Time Relijun
Portland’s Old Time Relijun gets the props big time!
“Unless I read them wrong (and I may; the music itself is the opposite of describing it: it’s wet, and bloody, and it smells like fresh earth and red cinders, and it’s a good goddamn time, is what it is) Old Time Relijun’s theory is that ‘the underground’ (I know. I know. I know.) isn’t an identity that reinvents itself once or twice per generation, but a permanent place within a culture - maybe within all cultures - where styles don’t go in and out of fashion but are always floating around in the air just above our heads.” — John Darnielle, Last Plane To Jakarta.
