My cat Anime is nodding off here, but music fans know you can’t nap through a show that plays The Fall, Califone, T Rex, Mouse on Mars, Graham Parker, Firewater, and music from the “Return of the DJ” & “Modulations & Transformations” compilations. I mean how does that show even EXIST?

Well, it won’t for long, I’m doing my last Can Haz DJ show on Radio Valencia tonight starting early (for me) at 8pm and running until 2am. 6 hours. That’s 25% of a whole day! And I still, definitely cannot fit everything in that I’d like to.

I am going out with an extended echoey bang. Playing Jazz, Punk, Rap, Glitch and other Electronica, good old rock and roll, plus New Wave, Dub, country-dust-songwriting-Americana-whaddyacallit, a horde of amazing covers, and a bit of everything else. Want to make a request? Do that here (soon!)

I’ve made the difficult decision to put the weekly Can Haz DJ on hiatus at the end of March. No major crisis, just need the time for other things. So for two more weeks, I’ll be playing an eclectic mix of my favorite music of all time. From Panacea to Kanda Bongo Man and Zap Mama to Adam Ant. Tune in tonight (3/20) at 10pm and next Tuesday (3/27) for the big finale.

I’ll keep up the Facebook page and maybe even a rare blog post. And I’ll add to the pile of Can Haz DJ podcasts from a pile that are in need of cover photos, playlists and a little editing..

Don’t believe me on the eclectic thing? Okay, here are two guitar extremes for ya. Both would make my top 100 songs of all time. Which I’ve been contemplating recently. That’s a personal top 100, your mileage should vary. John McLaughlin covering Mingus’ Goodbye Porkpie Hat (not my favorite version, I’ll save that for the show) and Karma to Burn’s “Twenty”. Enjoy. (mikl-em)

It’s Tuesday night and it’s time for Can Haz DJ, but there’s no set theme tonight. Sometimes I need to be low concept and high spontaneity. You’ll have to trust me as I spin through my music collection–we’ll see where inspiration and happenstance take us. I figure there’ll be some Fall and Saints and a bunch of electronic music thrown in, too. Something by Califone is bound to turn up. Here are videos by South African electronic guy Felix Laband and Television, while you are waiting.

Tonight @ 10pm: March comes in like songs about Lions. We are feline-oriented on CanHazDJ, so there’ll be songs about cats (& no Monkees whatsoever) on tonight’s show. The official end of Dub Month was last week (podcast/playlist for the show is below). But there’s always more to play, so expect flashbacks of dub amongst the cats plus lots more music of many genres on the as-usual eclectic Can Haz DJ show.

While you are waiting for the next installment of Can Haz DJ dub month (Tuesday night at 10pm), here is the podcast for Dub Month Week #2:

Plus a compilation I found on Vimeo of dub from Turkey

Tuesday’s show will feature a focus on the great Burning Spear and a selection of dub remixes, and a whole lot more dub old and new.

I’ve declared it Dub Month on Can Haz DJ For the first show of dub month, I kicked it off with a wide range of dub-related musics, including punk dub from The Clash, Ruts, Slits and Stiff Little Fingers. The podcast is posted here.

You’ll hear original Jamaican dub as well as more recent electronic versions, and musicians of all styles who have incorporated dub into their work, or have dub-style remixes of their music. Including punk, rap, industrial, and many world musics. toward the end of the night, you’ll hear dub-meets-ambient styles that are appropriate for the show’s 1AM end time.

Hear are videos of some of the music you are likely to hear on my shows this month:

Enjoy the week-one podcast of Can Haz DJ dub month, whether you listen online or download it. And tune in for the rest of February for the echo and bass, Can Haz Dub all month–every Tuesday night at 10pm.

Oh and here’s that Speech Debelle track on SoundCloud, you can download it for free.

Big fun night tonight on Can Haz DJ! wrote: “Show starts in 40 minutes. I’ll have a flashback to last week’s punk theme, a feature on Jim Fourniadis & the Rats of Unusual Size, a mini-tribute to late Jamaican great Winston Riley, + Surf’s UP! Hawaii 5-0 style, which means Dick Dale, ukuleles, Don Ho, slack key guitar, the Ventures, and Martin Denny. All on Can Haz DJ at 10pm on Radio Valencia”

Tonight Can Haz DJ returns after a week off, and we get back to fundamentals with classic 1977 era punk from both the U.S. and England. Throw in a couple other surprises and finish off the night with some fantastic ambient to put the show to bed after midnight.

Check it out! And don’t forget to like the show on Facebook and follow @CanHazDJ on Twitter. See you tonight.

Tonight at 10pm on Can Haz DJ I’ll be playing indie/punk/math from the locales of San Diego, Chicago, Louisville & Richmond VA. Maybe a bit from DC, Baltimore, SF & Portland, too. That means bands n’ music like these here below, see what you think:

And a bunch of music that’s not at all like this, as I keep up the usual level of diversity in the Can Haz DJ playlist. Some new electronic music, a flashback to last week’s Monk theme. And some more Halloweenish music as it is less than a week away, after all.

The first annual Can Haz Halloween show was last year, and it was a doozie. Misfits, Cramps, Karen Black, punk rock covers of Rocky Horror Picture Show (plus the original), and a spell cast on CD by a real witch (though CD’s didn’t exist when she recorded it). All that and more. Details below.

Grab or stream the podcast here. I just posted it on the Can Haz DJ podcast page (there are now FORTY episodes available total). Have a listen and get in the mood for this year’s holiday fun, it’s coming up soon!
