Press Pass Music -- 12-13-08 playlist and more

Hey kids,

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. As for me, I'm at the station doing some more volunteer hours and then I need to study for two finals. But don't worry Monday I will be free at last. Expect me to hit a bunch of shows this week.

As for what I played on this week's show, we heard some sounds from new bands never before played on Press Pass Music. Some of the bands were Melanoid, Czar Rose, TableFruit and Oliver Jane.... speaking of Oliver Jane... here's an email from Oliver about the song "Hot Misery" and "Passeporte." It's an inside scoop on what the songs are really about. This band is fairly new but is getting a pretty big following. Check out their myspace (www.myspace.com/oliverjane)

Here's what he said:
"Hot Misery" -- "Because tea is a HUGE part of the irish life style, we took to drinking it many times a day. 'Hot Misery' was inspired when Oliver spilled a cup of hot tea and and Jane's uncle got very cross with him. The original version had slurping noises in the song and everything."
From the lyrics: "I'm sorry that i made a mess, i promise that i'll clean it up someday."

"Passeporte" -- "This is a story about a woman who travels to Paris on a business trip. On her travels, she meets a young french man and they end up having a one night stand. she tries to tell him that it could never work out and leaves for the airport. he follows her yelling things in french at her but she can not understand what he says because she does not speak his language. she is convinced he is in love with her (she is kinda arrogant) and tries to tell him it will never work out. in reality the french man does not love her and is only trying to tell her she has forgoten her passport."


My playlist is below. But before that, there are some shows to check out tonight and later this week, AND A LOT OF THEM ARE FREE SHOWS!!

Enjoy the weekend.... go to a holiday party or go to a whole bunch... and please please see a local music show. Support...listen... and remember that what's in your own backyard is pretty GREAT.

Playlist for show 11-29-08

Hey there,

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Well, I went to a few shows this week and celebrated the four-day weekend with a little bar hopping. Monday I saw The Sweet Sweet Things and Francisco The Man at Detroit Bar. I talked to CJ, guitarist for The Sweet Sweet Things, and bumped into Luke Allen of Gemini Studios. Then I discovered the band Walk In Medical, who is featured in this month's OC Weekly as is our KUCI music director Sam (his name's on the cover -- Heck yes!). Check it or don't. It's free. Also, OC Weekly has releasec a free local music compilation -- download it at: http://blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentality/oc-weekly-local-music-compilat-2/

On Tuesday, I went to my favorite pub The Auld Dubliner in Tustin and sang "Seven Drunken Nights" with the Humble Hooligans, who I played on the show. On Wednesday, a few friends and I started the Thanksgiving celebration around 2 p.m. and ended at Del Taco at 2:30 a.m. It was a busy week. : )

Here's the playlist. Enjoy. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to email me at ashleyeliot@yahoo.com. Add me on myspace (www.myspace.com/presspassmusic), follow me on twitter (www.twitter.com/ashleyeliot) or join my social network (www.presspassmusic.ning.com)
