KTUH Playlist 12/23/12, 3-6AM

I subbed in for Michael Bernsten this morning. The show started out strong with powerful post rock and then moved into some indie rock. I was going to go onto some heavy noise with new stuff by Ty Segall and Sonic Youth, but I accidentally went on an electro tangent so I just rolled with it for the rest of the show.

KTUH Staff Meeting December 5, 2012

Yeah, so I'm back from Arizona. I was gone almost 4 months! My first day back kicked off after a mere 3-4 hours of sleep followed by an orientation meeting for the University of Hawaii Honors Program and ended with a KTUH staff meeting at 6 PM. After the meeting we had some impromptu Emergency Broadcast System training in the air room studio. DJ Mr. Nick took a picture:

In other news, I'll be subbing shows for a couple of DJs on the following dates and times:

January 04, 2013 6-9 AM

Show times are listed in Hawaiian Standard Time (HST) 

You can tune-in and listen live on 90.3 FM, 91.1 FM, 89.9 FM 

or the live simulcast on the web at ktuh.org!

Did you know that you can also follow KTUH on 

Facebook AND Twitter ???

KTUH 90.3 FM Playlist for 08/14/12, 9 PM - 12 AM

Well, that's it for me- at least for the foreseeable future. My run on KTUH was a good one, in my humble opinion. I tried to focus on post rock and noise, but I also kept it fairly organic. I let my mood lead the way and shows could vary considerably in theme and content from week to week. This week I laid it on heavy with math rock, post rock, and instrumental extravaganzas galore. Instead of doing some sort of "best of" edition to close out my show I decided to hunt down some molto primo kick ass tracks that I've never played before. In the end, it all worked out well and the playlist was pretty cohesive. I was a little worried that it wouldn't that great on the air, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I am honored and privileged to have been a DJ on KTUH Honolulu. It really was a dream come true to be able to become a part of the KTUH ohana and have my own show! Back when I was in the Army driving around aimlessly through the dark of the night in my military police patrol car I would always listen to KTUH, but I never thought I'd actually go on to become a part of the station. I have a long history with college radio, bot as a listener and staff member. Growing up in Massachusetts I would scour the lower bands of the FM dial trying to find something new to listen to on stations that I had to struggle to get to come in. I was exposed to so much good music from around the world that I never would have heard if it wasn't for college radio and independent radio. With the shows that I've done on WJUL (now WUML), WMUA, and KTUH I've made it a point to play the broadest variety of music from all around to help expose listeners to some far out sounds that may change their lives the way that my early experience with independent music helped to pique my interests and shape my imagination. If I managed to rock one person's socks off and get them drooling over one or two juicy tracks then I consider my mission accomplished.

My show, Post Nothing, will be NOT back on the air next Tuesday from 9PM-Midnight, on KTUH Honolulu, 90.3 FM ktuh.org live stream 24/7. That's it This is the last edition. The grand finale. Basta cosi.

Aloha KTUH, I'll see you later...unless I run away and join the French Foreign Legion...

You can download the show in its entirety here: hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?xc2poj8dz40makj (change xx to tt to download or cut and paste the link without that mess.) It's one long mp3 file of awesomeness.

A Hawaiian Chant

Chant:

Noha ana ke akua I ka nahelehele I'alai'ia e ke ki'ohu'ohu e ka ua koko O na kino malu i ka lani malu e hoe E ho'olu mai ana o Laka E kona kahu O makou noa

The deity dwells in the wilderness hidden away by the mist and the low-lying (red) rainbow The entities who offer protection in the sacred heavens Increase the presence of Laka and her protectors We are free

KTUH Playlist for 08/07/2012, 9 PM-12 AM

Tonight was my second to last show. Shoots! Time really flies, yo. Tonight's show was kind of a mishmash of musical amalgamations, but I think it worked well for the most part.

Next week is the last episode of Post Nothing before I head out to Arizona to hang out in the high desert and spirit quest so you're gonna wanna tune in and turn it up cause it's gonna be a smorgasbord of win. Tune in Tuesday, August 14, 2012, from 9-Midnight HST (GMT +10) to see what I play. Post Nothing airs on KTUH Honolulu, 90.3 FM and live streams on www.ktuh.org.

Well, fuck a duck- another one bites the dust!
Tonight's show was great, in my not so humble opinion. I played a lot of great new stuff and somehow managed to maintain a pretty cohesive sound regardless of the switch-ups of musical stylings. I played one metric ton of new stuff, but then right before the 11:00 PM hour I got way old school.

Independence day? Bah, humbug!
Well, this weeks show started out hot and heavy on the noise and then shifted toward metal and eventually ran into the realm of punk. Why? Why not? I played a lot of anti-government, anti-war stuff which was a nice detour from what I usually play.

Here's a picture of my best friend's son taken during their recent tip to China. He's posed to be future leader...

Rain, rain go away. I'm sick and tired of getting wet when I ride. It only rains when I ride!
I had a pretty good show of post rock and post hardcore. No one called in to get the tickets I was giving away.

Train Spotting

Hawaii used to have several functional rail systems, the most extensive of which was on Oahu. For those that don't know, Oahu is the island where the capital, Honolulu, is situated and it is the most densely populated of all the islands. Something like 2/3 of our population live on Oahu. The rails were mainly used in territorial days as a means of transporting agricultural products, mainly sugar cane. As alternate modes of transportation became available the rail began to be phased out. The and the rails have largely disappeared from the islands. There are a couple places where the trains run on a short span of tracks, mostly for the entertainment of tourists. On Oahu, the Hawaiian Railway Society is an organization that is committed to preserving what is left of Oahu's railway history. They refurbish old engines and cars and they run trains once a week, I think. I haven't ridden on a train here, but I've been to the yard several times to poke around in the old cars. I've posted 5 of my pictures here, the full set can be viewed on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fightingforward/sets/72157625954560463/with/5455923684/  They do not charge admission to the yard and it's worth going to check out if you're ever in the neighborhood. The ramshackle old cars are really something to see and have a lot of history. There's also the Waianae Mountains in the background for scenery. Also, the surrounding area of Barber's Point and Ewa are FULL of weird abandoned military sites (beware, some have been refurbished for civilian use and there is an active Coast Guard post in the area).

For awhile now there has been an ongoing debate about building a new light rail system on Oahu. We have some pretty ridiculous traffic over here. Basically, there are a lot of jobs in Town (aka Honolulu) and not so many jobs in other parts of the island so a whole lot of people commute. In the morning all the traffic is heading toward town and in the evening it's all headed out. Our freeway infrastructure is pretty lousy and has some major bottlenecks that create huge traffic jams. Other arteries and surface streets are much as you would expect in any other major metropolitan area during rush-hour: slow and treacherous. The freeway, however, is more like a parking lot. So, there has been a lot of talk about how to alleviate that traffic congestion and a rail system is one of the possibilities. There is always a lot of argument both for and against and it always gets shot down. Well, until recently. Now it's supposed to be built, but the nae sayers are still fighting it. Chief reasons of dissent are typically cites as cost inefficiency and system ineffectiveness (i.e. rail would not alleviate congestion). Of course, there are many ways that a train system could be a great success or an even greater failure and it's tough to know what would really happen. There are so many special interests involved (and probably a lot of corruption as well), so who knows how this thing would work out. Another big debate is where to put it. Space is very limited which is part of the reason for congestion. There isn't much space to expand infrastructure and there is more or less only one route to get anywhere due to the giant, jagged, impassible mountains that make up the center of the island.
I have included two articles in this post. One was a recent entry in an issue of AAA Hawaii about the history of the railway in Hawaii entitled, "Iron Giants." Unfortunately, there were a lot of cool vintage pictures and various diagrams in the magazine that were not published online. The second article is an editorial piece from the latest issue of the Honolulu Weekly  written by a professor of Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Hawaii. It's the best argument that I've seen to date that is anti-rail and actually seems to have been based off actual scientific data. I've always been a proponent of the rail, but I know how government can muck things up and I'm afraid they'll do a half assed job. If it isn't built right it will be worthless. We'll see what happens. Change (usually) occurs very slowly in Hawaii...

On my way to the studio I was hit by a barrage of blustery wind and there was debris all over the road, or at least there was on MY road. Just as I started to get to campus it began to sprinkle rain. I was a bit apprehensive about the ride home (on my Vespa), but the next DJ has said it's nice and clear and calm out. Nice.

Well, this week's show was a nice mixed bag of post rock and noise with some unexpected but oh-so-welcome surprises, most notably All of Them Witches; check 'em out! Also, I finally played something by The Nationale Blue on my show at long last. I had to hit them up via the internet because my iTunes purchased tracks won't play on the laptop. Damn you DRM, DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!
I'll be back on KTUH again next week. Same time, same channel: 90.3 FM Honolulu, 9-Mid. Until then, keep it real in this Post Nothing world!
