Bob Dylan and a bunch of rootsy stuff. A surprise-y 120-Minutes era Nugget. Then some dub. And more dub. Then the R.I.P. Gil Scott-Heron set. Then some Hip HOP. O yeah. And I will find a way to play a Dead Milkmen song, too.

Songs were updated in something like real time. FAKE time.

Here’s Gil’s classic “The Bottle” and his recent “Me and The Devil”

Here are a few other rap artists you may hear this week…

Welcome back. We made it past the end of the world, so we will celebrate a bunch tonight.

Can Haz DJ starts at 10pm. We will play a couple Bob Dylan songs to celebrate his birthday, a few Lee Scratch Perry songs to celebrate his awesomeness, and then flashback to some end of the world tunes which we had featured last week. In a similar vein we’ll enjoy a few more tunes from the Ghostly label, also showcased last week.

After that we get on to this week’s features: a big phat hip-hop set and then a deep dub set to close the night. It’s going to be big and bad, but in a good way, for real. Tune in, and you will find me live-blogging the playlist right on this post–show starts at 10pm Pacific time.

Here’s some of what these guys used to look & sound like:

“Fusion” is a dated term, or maybe the music has finally caught up with the concept. Let’s see. The musical traditions and sensibilities of Africa, India, Mexico, Cuba and the rest of the world brought to producing beats, samples, electronics, not to mention the multi-ethnic-experiments of Bill Laswell or Afro Celt Soundsystem. On Tonight’s Can Haz DJ we’ll survey these and other current musical hybrids on a world spinning tour.

We’ll also flashback to piano month, just ended, with one last chunk of great piano players. We’ll play a tune for Poly, and one from the Gaiman-Palmer-Folds-Kulash project 8in8 as well as a little something or two off the brand new Tied & Tickled Trio (who play that catching CanHazDJ theme song).

Here are some examples of the state of world meets electronica music:
