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)

Playlist for 11-22-08 -- Hong Kong Six's new ablum and the surf report.

Well, another show bites the dust and here's the recap of what happend: I played Hong Kong Six's new album "Once Upon A Time In The West," throughout the show, and tried to adhere to my surfer listeners needs by throwing in some Japanese Motors and a surf report. It was a fun show. I usually record my show but the stupid computers in the studio were all messed up and ended up not recording it. urggggg!

BTW I'm looking for local surf music so if you know of any please email me: ashleyeliot@yahoo.com.

Next week, I don't have classes... so lets party. Hopefully I will be going to bunch of shows this week, maybe I will see you at Detroit Bar or La Cave. ; )

Have a beautiful weekend and don't forget to check out your local music scene...it will do wonders for you.

The Halloween after party at Press Pass Music - Show #5 - 11-01-08

Happy Halloween Weekend!!!!!!!!

So here's what happened:
I was up at 7:30 a.m. Friday and stayed awake until 8:30 a.m. Saturday. It was my first alnighter while I have been a DJ... and oh it was a good time. Dressed as my alter ego aka Wonderwoman, 5 ladies and I party hopped in Newport then to Huntington.....ending the night at a friend's house at 3 a.m. playing Rockband and singing Pat Benetar. I went to the show still as Wonderwoman.... I played Halloweenish tunes by local musicians and passed out when I got home.

Then last night, my friend Nina and I continued the celebration by going to a lame club opening in Newport Beach but we walked right in and walked right out.... and rushed over to Durty Nelly's for some karaoke! We rocked out to Pat Benetar's "Heartbreaker ( yes, I have been obsessed with this song all weekend.... but you know I would have sang Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" if someone hadn't sang it already). Here are pics from last night... since I have a feeling the third member of our trio who assisted with our routine will be checking out my blog, well if he knows what's good for him. :P Oh and we also met McLovin!! ; )

Press Pass Music is officially on the air!

Hey Orange County music lovers,

The Press Pass Music show airs on KUCI 88.9 FM this Saturday, Oct. 4, from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. I know it's super early but I just became DJ and I have to pay my dues. I'm so happy to have this opportunity to feature local independent music.

Press Pass Music will focus on Orange County musicians, the actual music biz and what the heck is going on in our community. We have so much talent here and they deserve recognition. The Press Pass blog is dedicated to music news, interviews and upcoming shows.

I'm way nervous for Saturday because I really don't want to mess up and break something. Gosh, technology. Otherwise, I'm stoked. Check out the show and if you miss it because you passed out early ( lame!) or you're too drunk to turn on the radio, then no worries I will be uploading the shows onto itunes.

Let me know your thoughts on our local music scene and if you're a musician, send me your music!

You can email at ashleyeliot@yahoo.com or add me on the myspace: myspace.com/presspassmusic

Me love you long time,
