Show 004: What it Means to be a Cory/Truth


so last night, with Dip out of town and nerding-out at a chem convention on the east coast, i recruited a guest DJ. lil' dipper, aka nic, aka my little brother, made his illustrious debut on KSDT -- or KSTD, as he was wont to mistakenly call it (freudian slip much?). my theme was "what it means to be a cory" (our last name) and his was "truth."
here is the playlist:

What It Means to Be a Cory
Chip's Choice
1. kool and the gang - celebration
2. chicago - saturday in the park
3. gene autry - mexicali rose
4. natalie cole - orange colored sky
5. wham! - wake me up before you go-go
6. cream - sunshine of your love
7. stevie wonder - i just called to say i love you

Lil' Dippers Digs
1. diana krall - just the way you are
2. adele - hometown glory
3. peggy lee and benny goodman - blues in the night
4. coldplay - don't panic
5. bea arthur (YES THAT BEA ARTHUR) - where do you start?

Truth
Chip's Choice
1. darker my love - two ways out
2. deerhunter (covering jay reatard) - oh, it's such a shame
3. jason molina - love leaves its abuser
4. foals - big big love (fig. 2)
5. gil mantera's party dream - buffalo tears
6. my morning jacket - knot comes loose

Lil' Dipper's Digs
1. regina spektor - fidelity
2. selena - como la flor
3. celia cruz - la vida es un carnaval
4. fiona apple - fast as you can
5. janet jackson - empty
6. audra mcdonald - how glory goes
7. natasha bedingfield - unwritten

i doubt KSDT has seen so many songs from musicals, like ever. way to go, Lil' Dipper.
our mom also decided to call us like six different times. she called during "i just called to say i love you" -- appropriate because when nic and i were little and staying over at friends' houses or when our parents were away on vacation, she would call us or we would call her and sing this song to each other. okay, we still do it. anyway, mom called and started singing along -- especially funny because there is a delay on the broadcast. i put my cell phone up to the mic, but i'm not sure her voice carried. hmmm...i should probably check that out. oh, the possibilities!

our listenership peaked at 8. all family and friends, we're quite sure. though my buddy ryan did download the show later and learn about what it means to be a cory while playing some video game. excellent.

Dip-the-Elder returns next week and it's sure to be a great show as usual. though i will certainly miss Lil' Dipper's banter and strongly encouraging him (ie, making thinly-veiled threats) to nix some of his song selections (*cough*johnmayer*cough*).

in case you missed this, you can check it out here!

love,
Chip


hearts,
Dip
