Re-entering his groove

So I think I can officially say that Lost Luggage is now officially back in the mix. ::knocks on wood:: Let's see if we can keep him around this time! Let him know how much you enjoy his set! Download it! Listen to it at 10 PM EST tonight. Get hooked up on the Podcast.

Lost Luggage - Nine Hundred Twelve aka A Day in the Life of a... MAN PURSE!

What is three hundred and four times three?

The answer, of course, is Nine Hundred Twelve, aka A Day in the Life of a... MAN PURSE!, which of course is the new set by our very own DJ Lost Luggage. It'll be on at our standard Noon and 10 PM EST. Direct link available too of course.

Hmmm

This was supposed to have posted Friday, but I guess Blogger had some sort of error. Fun. Anyway, here's the direct link to last Flashback Friday. Now perhaps Flashback Monday, but that doesn't have the same sort of a ring to it.

Tacologic - HPR Tribute, No iPods...

Flashback Friday: The first set with a title

Today's Flashback Friday will be my two part set. The first part is my tribute to HeadphoneRecord, and the second was my first ever set on HPR. Both halves are good. And together, they're great. Noon and 10 PM EST of course, with the podcast later today.

Old woman Blerg

Heh heh. Nah, she's not that old. Yet! Her birthday is still happening right now, and hopefully she's enjoying it. Hopefully you're enjoying her birthday set too. It's on at 10 EST and available for download right here.

Blerg - Another Year Over, A New One Just Begun

Happy Birthday Blerg!

Yes, you read correctly, today is the day that our very own Blerg gets a little bit older. And to celebrate, she's created a birthday mix for us all to hear. It'll be on today at Noon and 10 PM EST. Come celebrate in style!

Let me try this again...

Okay. Sorry for the slack effort yesterday. I really need to get my britches in gear. The set did air at Noon and 10 PM EST, but I didn't really tell people in a timely manner. My bad. But today, it'll be on yet again at Noon and 10 PM EST. And I'm telling you now, so you have no excuse not to check it out. I have songs for you from The Residents, Buckwheat Zydeco, Afro Celt Sound System, The Aquabats, Stevie Wonder, Cagey House and lots more. I attempted to bring you lots of music from different genres that I haven't yet. Results are pretty cool methinks. The direct link is already posted, so you can check it out there.

For the late people

My set will be on again at 10 PM EST tonight and Noon and 10 PM EST tomorrow. So there's no excuse to miss it! You can download it here too. I'll put up a tracklisting tomorrow.

Tacologic - Bringing You The Best

Running behind...

Hey everybody. My new set is on right now! But by the time you read this, it may already be over. Very sad indeed. It'll be on again tonight at 10 PM EST. And because of the lateness of this, it'll be on tomorrow at Noon EST as well. Just to make up. So tune in quick!

Okidoke

That was Love and Beats. He'll be on later tonight. I might tune in. You might tune in. 10 PM.

I'm out of here, and will be back on Tuesday, where I bring you all a very special set. Have a good long weekend, those of you who have it.

Love And Beats - 4-20-05

It's Friday...

It's almost Noon o'clock (EST). It's time to party! Your excellent host will be Love And Beats, and it'll be his second set, which originally aired on April 20. Check it out!

Boom ba boom

So Love and Beats' new set was pretty cool. It'll be on at 10 PM EST. Hmm... I kind of feel like I'm repeating myself here. Hopefully you all are getting familiar with the schedule. Noon and 10 PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays (unless otherwise stated). Friday flashbacks. Yes? Good.

Movin' and Groovin'

Love and Beats is back with Music To Move To. It features some cuts by Stereo Total, The Mooney Suzuki, Cibo Mato, Enon, Akihibara Electric Circus, and Beastie Boys. Naturally it'll be on at Noon and 10 PM EST. Natrually.

Found Luggage

I don't know about you all, but it was great to hear the sounds of Lost Luggage again. Of course you can check the set out at 10 PM EST if you missed the first one, or simply download right now. Also, over there on the right hand side, there's that little "RSS" link. That's the link if you want to subscribe to the podcast, which I highly recommend. Go check the tracks too, if you're so inclined.

Lost Luggage - Luggage Recovery!!!11!!!onehundredeleven!!!

Luggage Recovery !!!!111!!!!!oneoneone!!!!!

OMGs So like this DJ guy, Lost Luggage, who used to totally do music for us here is back. On Saturday I was at JFK, and there he was sitting on the floor near the United parcel pickup. I totally took him back and made him do music! LOLz. And like ch-check it out at Noon and 10 PM EST. Music by the Transplants, The Scofflaws, Locksley, Pixies, Michael Jackson and much more.

Blerg - 4-14-05

TGIFF

Thank gord it's Flashback Friday! And today we're featuring Blerg's first set. She wasn't in the original lineup of Coup d'Taco DJs, but was a quick and happy addition afterwards. Enjoy her set today at Noon and 10 PM EST.

In the way back

See, I think there was a problem... Some of you were partying like it was 1995 instead of partying like it was 1994. This simply will not stand. Your chance to redeem yourself is at 10 PM EST. Or you can take the initiative and download it right now.

T. Thoennesen & F. Keller - Into Somethin' Radio Show - 8-25-05

Party like it's 1994

Guess what faithful Coup d'Taco listeners? I have a super special treat for you all today. Instead of a set done by one of our own DJs, you'll get a set by a couple German DJs, T. Thoennesen & F. Keller. And what's more, the entire thing is comprised of songs from 1994. It's going to be a lot of fun. On at Noon and 10 PM EST. Podcasting later today. Flashback Friday rolls on tomorrow. Go radio!

<3 is in the air

So I'm pretty glad that I was able to get jon.dus' latest set on the air today, aren't you? Well if you can't honestly answer that question, you can check it out tonight at 10 PM EST and on this nifty podcast link. Check the tracklisting too. Snazzy!

jon.dus - jon.dus loves u

<3

Our very own jon.dus got me his new set this morning by the skin of his teeth. It'll be on today at Noon and 10 PM EST. Sorry again that the Tuesday set is on Wednesday instead. Hopefully this won't be happening very often. I'll try to keep it on the level!

Set delay

Hello radio folks. I know that most of the time, there'd be a new set on Tuesday, but the powers that be have delayed that new set until tomorrow. It'll likely be from jon.dus, but we'll know more later. :)

No, I didn't forget

How could I? How could you? Hopefully you haven't forgotten about our Flashback Fridays and the jon.dus set that will air again tonight at 10 PM EST. But just incase you have, that's why I'm reminding you. And of course, here is the link to download. Have fun.

jon.dus - 4-7-05

We're hugging ourselves at Coup d'Taco

Why might you ask? Because of the great set by jon.dus we have going on right now. If you're not listening, please do check it out. It'll also be on again at 10 PM EST and later today for download.

An epic success

The first playing of Zanzibar's latest work, Epic Traditions is over. But hey guess what! It's on at 10 PM EST and it's on if you click that link down there. DJ Spooky, Ani DiFranco, Fila Brazilla and more can all be yours, for the low, low price of free.

Zanzibar - Epic Traditions

Tomorrow on Flashback Friday, we'll have the final of the original four sets. This one by jon.dus. Be there!

The ultra-fabulous, super amazing Zanzibar set is on the air

Sorry for the delay, but most of you should know by now, that we do the new sets on Tuesday and Thursday at Noon and 10 PM EST. Just like the Zanzibar one that's on right now. So tune in and enjoy!

Who wants seconds?

I know that I had seconds, and ilikeyou did as well, but incase you didn't get a chance to listen, the set will play again at 10 PM EST. And lookie at the tracklisting on the right. Ooooh tasty. And the direct download/podcast link beneath. Wooooow.

Tacologic vs. ilikeyou - Too Much Nan Makes The DJs Go Bloat

Just don't stuff yourself!

ilikeyou Returns!

It's Tuesday, and it's new music time. DJ ilikeyou and I were up late last night in Coup d'Taco Studios putting the finishing touches on our vs mix, called "Too Much Nan Makes The DJs Go Bloat". It's a tribute to the dinner we had last night. Tune in at Noon or 10 PM EST to hear songs from Kristen Hersh, Kraftwerk, Hot Karl Ft MC Serch , Leonard Cohen, Benny and the Vildachayas and much much more. Direct download so you kids can podcast will be going on a bit later.

Old school, only not really

So if April counts as being old, that was the oldest set we have here on Coup d'Taco. If you missed it, it'll be on at 10 PM EST. Or you can just click the happy link beneath this sentence.

Tacologic - 4-7-05

I've listened to this set about fifty times, and you should too. Maybe not fifty, but a lot!

Flashback Friday: The first Coup d'Taco set ever!

And logically (make that tacologically) enough, it was my set. Of course it'll be on at Noon and 10 PM EST. Of course I'll have a direct link for podcast later today. Of course you should listen.

Rocked, courtesy of Love And Beats

That was fun wasn't it? Words that I didn't understand, followed by pounding and screeching. Lovely! If you didn't tune in, do so at 10 PM EST tonight. Or of course download the file.

Love And Beats - Japanese Fanboy, I'm Okay You're UK

Somewhere, Japan hits the UK

And that somewhere is here on Coup d'Taco. Sorry about the technical difficulties yesterday. We're up and running now, however. New set today by our very own Love And Beats. It's part two of his rock/Japan series, with the rock being UK based this time. It's on at Noon and 10 PM EST of course. Podcast will come later.

Technical difficulties

Sorry folks, I broke the world. Coup d'Taco is down until this evening. My bad. Big apologies. However, go download the set from yesterday to tide you over. It's good stuff!

Awesometacular

So she was right. Blerg's new set is definitely awesome, as some of you are very well aware of. Others need to tune in at 10 PM EST or download yonder file or stick it in your podcast.

Blerg - It's Gettng Awesome All The Time

It makes me happy like hugging a baby penguin!

Blerg gets awesome

She gets awesome because she is awesome. What more reason do you need to listen to her new set at Noon and 10 PM EST than that? Hopefully little, because I'll say it again, she's awesome.

Also, we're getting into a pretty good groove of getting new sets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I hope this works for you all. :)

Love those beats

Hope you caught the airing of the vintage Love and Beats set, because it's back into the random shuffle. No 10 PM for you! jondus' 80's set will be on for an exclusive 80s dance party in Brooklyn tonight, so check that out if you're interested. Oh yeah, podcast is here.

Love And Beats - 4-7-05

Freaky-deaky Flashback Friday

It's like it's April all over again, and Love and Beats' first set is about to air. Tension is all around us. It'll be on at Noon EST, so listen then if you'd like. Later today, it'll be downloadable and podcastable and what not. It's probably not going to remain for very long, due to the size of the file, so catch it while you can.

We got somethin' you ain't got. We got jondus and he's red hot!

Red hot, wooo!

Yes sir ree bob, that was a humdinger of a set. Coup d'Taco DJs are the shiznizle diggity dog. Heh heh. Alright, I'll speak English. jondus' set was great. It made me very happy to listen to. Hopefully you enjoyed it as much as I did. The link to download is below. Flashback Fridays continue tomorrow with Love and Beats' first one for download/air. Noon o'clock EST.

jon.dus - Nu Coup

Egads!

Crazy morning folks. I apologize for not informing you sooner that jondus' set is going to be on at Noon EST as well as 10 PM EST. Yikes! It's very possible I'll re-air it on Monday due to my mixup. So tune in! Podcast will be available a bit later.

Go Bruce Go

So those of you that heard it know the secret of Bruce. But most of you still don't. Curses! However, I'll make it easy for you. Tune in at 10 PM EST and you can experience it yourself. Or just click the link and download it. You of cousre can podcast it as well and you should! Check out the tracklisting too while you're at it. Let today be a digital day.


Tacologic - A Mix For Bruce

A Mix For Bruce and you

It's Tuesday and it's time for a new mix from yours truly. It'll be on today at Noon and 10 PM, because those are magical times where music just sounds good. The title of this one is A Mix For Bruce. Why? Well, you'll just have to listen.

Later there'll be a direct link for download and podcast as well as a tracklist. Laterer will be jondus' latest.

Still lost

Though the weekend is about to begin/alread has begun for most of you out there, your old reliable Tacologic is still toiling away, getting the tunes out to you! Here's that Lost Luggage set to check out. This is back from a time where the DJs didn't name their sets, so you get the generic date title. Oh how we've grown!

Lost Luggage - 4-7-05

Quick note

Lost Luggage's first set will be available for download later today. And just for kicks, the set will play at Noon EST. Bye!

Humbled by Zanzibar's smarts

Wow. That was mad good. Mad crazy, made rockin', mad boppin'. Those of you that checked it out know what I'm talking about. Everybody else should click this link:

Zanzibar - Mad Intelligence

Podcast it, iTunes it, whatever. Just check it out!

Tomorrow we're going to start "Flashback Friday", which is a weekly feature where I'll play an "old" set that was previously played here on Coup d'Taco, but was never available for direct download. I think first up will be Lost Luggage's, as some sort of a beacon for him to come back and make more music.

Zanzibar: Tanned, rested and ready

Ready to rock your socks off that is! DJ Z claims that this is his best set for Coup d'Taco to date. That's a pretty lofty statement, considering his body of work... But who are we to doubt him? Find out for sure today at Noon and 10 PM EST. Podcast link coming later today as well as a tracklisting. But oooh! His DJ picture is updated now. Snazzy!

In, out and about Blerg

By the time you read this, Blerg's set will be wrapping up. Excellent stuff! I don't know if I could have made a crazier, happier, better mix if I tried. But I'm certainly going to try. Tracklist is up on the right. And here's the podcast slash direct download link:

Blerg - Suppressing the Self-Preservation Instinct

The set will be on again tonight at 10 PM EST. Later this week we have Zanzibar's latest and the first ever set on Coup d'Taco. Spread the love.

T-minus one hour and counting until Blerg

You read correctly, one hour to go until we get to hear a new Blerg set. Get excited. Set your watches and timers and iTuneses. Noon and 10 PM EST. Direct link for podcasting later today, as well as a set list. Vrooooom!

How bout some Blerg?

Hello,

Blerg has just put the finishing touches on her latest set. It's going to be on tomorrow at Noon and 10 PM EST and is more fun than senior citizens playing fly swatter volleyball. Later this week we'll have a new set by Zanzibar. Laterer than that, I'm going to start uploading old sets so they can be downloaded/podcasted, because I realize the You Send It solution didn't work for everybody.

2 Many 2 Handle

Good stuff right? I had to include No Fun vs. Push It as it's probably the most famous 2 Many DJs mash, as well as Peter Gunn (Emerson Lake and Palmer's version) vs. Where's Your Head At? because I think it's a great way to start a set. Bam!

So here's the MP3 to download or podcast to: 2 Many DJs - Radio Soulwax 1997, As Heard on Radio Soulwax pt5 Enjoy!

There's a bunch of new sets coming too. Zanzibar, jon.dus, Blerg, Tacologic and if I can ever pin him down, Lost Luggage. Two next week.

We have 2 Many DJs

Greetings to new Coup d'Taco fans and old standbys. The podcasting has started with a bang! For those of you who aren't on board yet, check out Apple Podcasting. The RSS feed here is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Coupdtaco. Here's an Odeo link too: My Odeo Channel (Code: f726e9f4af15e602)

With all that out of the way, let me tell you all a bit about today's new set if you're not in the know. 2 Many DJs are a couple guys from across the pond that were among the pioneers of the mash up and the new DJ sound you hear in clubs these days. If you liked Dexter's set, and stuff along the lines of Love And Beats, jon.dus and Zanzibar, You'll dig this too. And a word of caution... I downloaded the music off the interweb, so I'm not 100% sure they're 2 Many DJs. But even if it's not, it's great listening.

As per usual, it'll be on at Noon and 10 PM EST. Direct link to the MP3 and podcast later today.

Podcasting! Finally!

Hey everyone,

So the time has come to finally get ont the podcasting wagon. So check it out, here's the direct link to the new Love and Beats set: Love And Beats - Guitarget, Japplied Science Please download it to disk and check it out there. The RSS feed for Coup d'Taco is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Coupdtaco . That link should hopefully work. I'm new to the whole podcasting thing myself, but here's hoping I'm a quick learner. If any of you can tell me wonderful places where I can tell the world to find this podcast, do let me know.

Spread the love.

Love and Beats set today!

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay. Wanted to actually get stuff accomplished instead of telling people it will be done "soon". But first of all, we have a new Love and Beats set today. It's called Guitargets, Japplied Science. The first half is a lot of guitar rock, and the second half is a lot of Japanese music. Pretty interesting ying and a yang. It'll be good. Noon and 10 PM EST as per usual. The set will be available for download later today in a special new way. Oooooh suspence! I'll also have a new set for you tomorrow (which will repeat Monday) and it's going to be supercool as well.

Uppy down

Lots of things to talk about today, so let's get started.

First of all, due to a server upgrade, Coup d'Taco will be off the air from about midnight EST tonight until sometime probably in the afternoon tomorrow. I'm going to take that time to do upgrades as well.

I've finally found what seems to be a good podcating solution. So over the next few days, I'm going to see if I can upload all the old sets so they'll be available for direct download. I'll also have it set up so new sets will be podcastable. I'm quite excited about this.

And finally, here's what might be the last You Send It link for awhile.

Blerg - Deja Vu All Over Again

Blerg, an official success!

That's what I'm talking about! I'm glad that many of you tuned in to listen to Blerg's brand new set Deja Vu All Over Again. If you missed it, it'll be on again at 10 PM and randomly after that. Personally, I think I could listen to the Beastie Boys' cover of I'm down a thousand times in a row and am so glad she put it on.

You'll also notice that Blerg is now on the official DJ roster and the tracklisting is up. An MP3 of the set will be up later tonight or tomorrow.

Step up Blerg!

Because you're the next "official" DJ of Coup d'Taco. Yay! Can I get an amen? How about a round of applause. Wooooot! Her new set, Deja Vu All Over Again, is going to be on today at Noon and 10 PM and as with the rest of them, it's very enjoyable. Tracklisting will be up later today and the MP3 either tonight or tomorrow.

Little updates

Hello Coup fans. So this week is still slightly up in the air about what's going on. Thursday (Noon and 10 PM natch) will be the day that DJ Blerg makes the jump from guest DJ to full-fledged Coup d'Taco DJ and hopefully you're all as excited as I am about this. I've also heard rumors of a Lost Luggage set, but he's... lost. Missing in action as it were. So as soon as he gets that to me, I'll play it for you all.

I also updated the tracks that have names to show what they are through your iTunes/Winamp/whatever player. Shut is hard at work, I hope, on the webpage and things are looking up!

Tacologic repeat

For those of you that missed it, my new set will be playing again today at Noon and 10 PM EST. It's already available for download if you go back a post too. Happy listening.

Asbestos Taco

Some of you checked out my latest set, some of you didn't. Good thing it's playing again at 10 PM tonight and on Monday at Noon and 10 again (for those of you lucky bastards with summer hours). And for a sneak cheat, the tracklisting is up on the right. And what's this? A direct link via You Send it? Alright!

Tacologic - Obsessed With Asbestos

Cough cough

I'm not feeling that well today. Perhaps it's because I've been hanging around the asbestos heap a bit too much today. This is because I am obsessed with asbestos. And when I say that, I am totally lying, because it's merely the name of my new set. And it's going to be on today at Noon and 10 PM EST. Lots of old favorites, new favorites, funny bits and randomness. Check it out!

Like wow

We're right in the middle of jon.dus' 80's set, and it's been a great stroll down memory lane. However most of you haven't tuned in to find this out for yourselves. To tempt you, the tracklisting is now up on the right so you can see what you missed, and what is to come. And here's a link via You Send It so you can listen to it whenever you want.

jon.dus - 80's Coup

I love the 80's

and so does jon.dus. So much that he made a four hour set of 80s music that will be on today at Noon and 10 PM EST. Tracklisting will be available, and the set will be downloadable later today.

I've not heard from Lost Luggage about the status of his latest set, so I'm going to go with my set on Friday (if I can get it together). and if not then, early next week.

jon.dus.delay

Hey everyone, technical difficulties are going to prevent me from putting up jon.dus' set at Noon EST today, though it probably will be on at 10 PM EST. Tomorrow, it'll be on at Noon for all you day time listeners.

Sorry about that!

Current Events

Hello Coup fans. Hope you all had a nice 4th of July weekend if you're in a place that celebrates it. If not, Happy Tuesday. Here's what's up for this week.

Today: Noon and 10 PM EST will once again be DJ Dexter's set. For those of you who haven't listened yet, I do recommend it. Great listening.

Wednesday: Boy do I have a treat for you! A double shot of jon.dus! And his theme is The 80s. So at Noon and 10 PM EST, there will be four straight hours of 80's music coming your way. If that's not a great thing, I don't know what is.

Thursday: New set by either Lost Luggage or myself. Not sure which one, but I'll let you all know tomorrow night.

Supergroove

DJ Dexter's set is done, and though it took a little encouragement, a bunch of you checked it out, which rocks. I'm not lying when I say that Dexter and The Avalanches totaly changed how I listen to and appreciate DJ music. If I can find the tracklisting, I'll post it, but right now I don't have it. But what I do have is the set for download. Check it out and have a great 4th.

DJ Dexter - Triple J Mixup

From a land down under

If I'm judging when this will show up in everybody's world correctly, the incredible, awesome, wonderful set by DJ Dexter will be playing very shortly. Starting at about Noon EST, and of course later tonight at 10 PM EST. It's one of the big influences behind Coup d'Taco and I highly recommend checking it out. Dexter is one of the most incredible DJs I've ever seen do his thing, and the set will leave you with a smile on your face.

Back To The Future

A few of you caught Zanzibar's latest set, Notes From The Future, but a lot of you didn't. Good thing that it's going to be playing again this evening at around 10 PM EST. I noticed that the timing might have gotten slightly screwed up, so when I get back to Coup d'Taco studios, I'll fix the situation. But you can always check out the tracklisting on the right and download the set directly.

Zanzibar - Notes From The Future

Tomorrow and Tuesday, we'll have DJ Dexter's set going on. I'm already excited.

Pssst, pass it on

Technology was at the forefront yesterday, and Zanzibar's set, Notes From The Future, made it into my hands safely and securely. This means it'll be on today at Noon and 10 PM EST. Tune in and listen if you can. If not, it'll be available for download later today. Tomorrow, DJ Dexter.

Onwards and upwards

Lots of things are going on at Coup d'Taco, but many are currently below the surface. However, that's why I'm writing now, to give you all a taste of what's coming.

First of all, we have new music coming. Zanzibar is putting the finishing touches on his latest mix, and should be able to get it to me tonight. Provided that he does, it'll be playing tomorrow at Noon and 10 PM EST. If he doesn't, I have a treat for you all that's a little bit different... Among the big influences to get Coup d'Taco started are The Avalanches DJ sets. And I have a two hour set that DJ Dexter (formerly of The Avalanches) did for Triple J ready to go. The tentative plan is to have Dexter's set play on Friday at Noon and 10 PM EST. However, if technical difficulties prevent me from getting Zanzibar's set tonight, then it's Dexter tomorrow and Zanzibar on Friday (probably with a re-broadcast early next week due to people being gone for the 4th of July holiday).

Phew! We also have sets coming soon from Lost Luggage, jon.dus, and yours truly.

Going back to that "under the radar" stuff, Shut and I are working on coupdtaco.com. Not exactly sure when it's launching, but hopefuly in a few weeks. And even more fun, the new version of iTunes is out, and it supports Podcasting. Starting someday in July (and provided I can figure it out) we'll be podcasting and offering direct download links.

There, I blogged about it, so that means it has to come true!

And the rest

Cool set right? Hope everybody that tuned in enjoyed. And what do you know, I have the set here for you to download!

Love And Beats - 95-05, vs. Lone River | 6-23-05

And what's more, the tracklisting is up on the right. Music music music!

More Love, More Beats

Hello. Today, a new set by Love and Beats. It'll be on at Noon and 10 PM EST. It's a two parter, with the second half being another epic DJ battle. I predict you're gonna enjoy it. The link to download will be up later today.

A Blerg success

See, that's more like it. People tuned in, enjoyed, and it was a good radio experience. Woot. And because you've all been on your best behavior, here's a link to download the set directly from You Send It.

Blerg - Doppleganger | 6-17-05

And I've heard rumors of a new Love And Beats set tomorrow... Also, if anyone listens to WLUW out of Chicago, send them an email saying you want to hear that great Coup d'Taco sound. I might as well add here that anyone that knows of an analog station that is looking for a block of fresh, eclectic stuff should get in contact with me.

Listen to Blerg. For real!

By the time you're reading this, Blerg's newest set will probably be playing. This of course means you should listen to it. You can also check out the tracklisting up on the right. And because I worked tirelessly into the night, there will be a link for a direct download later today. For real!

Listen to Blerg!

Hey everyone! Since about three of you listened to Blerg's set when it happened (yeah, I know, it was Friday) and I didn't post the set for download (my iPod is very sad) we're going to do it again. So Wednesday, we're going to be playing Blerg's Doppleganger set again. Noon and 10 PM EST. I'm not exactly sure when I can get the set up for download, so your best bet is to listen when it happens.

Blerg it up

I posted last night about Blerg's set being on today at Noon and 10 PM EST and I said I'd post more now. But I don't have a lot more to say, other than listen. She did not send me a tracklisting, so you'll have to fend for yourself until she does. I'm pretty sure that most of you savvy listeners our there will be able to figure out what's going on. There is, of course, an MP3, which I'll put up this afternoon for those that can't stream the show. Have fun!

Revenge of the Blerg

It's late, and I'm tired from mastering Blerg's latest set. I'll tell you now that it'll be on tomorrow at Noon and 10 PM EST (as is the norm) and I'll tell you more tomorrow. But first, sleep!

ilikeyou 2

Did you enjoy the guest DJ set by ilikeyou? A bunch of you did, thanks for tuning in! Coup d'Taco is a part of a well-balanced breakfast. But incase you weren't able to check it out, here's a link to download it directly from You Send It.

DJ ilikeyou - Now With Amazing Shushing Action

The tracklisting is up on the right hand side, so you can see what you're rocking out to.

Guest DJ Alert!

Here in New York, it's incredibly, uncomfortably hot. Hopefully you all have some sort of climate control device that is keeping things manageable. However, here at Coup d'Taco, we're going to switch things up and get things heated up with new guest DJ ilikeyou. She and I have been talking about doing a set for awhile now, and we've finally set aside time to do it.

The set will be playing tomorrow, Wednesday June 15th, at Noon and 10 PM EST. Tracklistings and a link to download will be coming soon.

Music to download

So, did you all enjoy my set? Hope so. Tracklisting is up, incase you were curious as to what some of the songs you didn't know were. And if you didn't get a chance to listen (and won't tonight at 8 PM EST), or want to listen more, here's the link.

Tacologic - State Your Name

And for good measure, here's Zanzibar's set from yesterday.

Zanzibar - The L.A. Cultural Caesura

More of that good Tacologic music

Hey everybody, it's Friday, it's beautifully cool here in Brooklyn and I have a new set to start your weekends right. It's called Name Your State, and it should be a lot of fun to listen to. It'll be on today at Noon and 8 PM EST. Directly following the 8 PM show is a re-airing of Love And Beats' newest, which is definitely worth checking out if you haven't yet. My set and Zanzibar's latest will be available for download later today, as will my tracklisting.

Go radio go!

The L.A. Cultural Caesura by Zanzibar

As I type this, it is 10:48 AM EST. And if you're reading this blog via an RSS or XML feed, you should tune in and listen to The L.A. Cultural Caesura, which is Zanzibar's newest set. It's a bit of a departure from the classic Zanzibar sound, but it's good stuff. I'm going to post a link for download tomorrow, in hopes that lots of people will listen live. You can check out the tracklisting however.

My new set, Name Your State, will be playing tomorrow at Noon and 8 PM EST. And Love And Beats' set from last week will directly follow mine.

New Zanzibar Set

More of that hot Zanzibar action is coming at you. Today (Thursday, June 9th) at Noon and 10 PM EST. More later today, including a tracklisting and a link to download. When I sleep and then wake up. For real.

P.S. Sorry for the technical difficulties a few moments ago. Coup d'Taco really needs to invest in a mouse pad.

Scrobble 'till your heart's content

First on the docket, I want to let out a barbaric yawp to everybody within earshot, for yesterday was the most popular day in the young history of Coup d'Taco. Yaaaaaawp! Let's keep things going. Bigger and better. Up and up. New ideas are coming, new projects and DJs, all to bring you new music. Gotta love the sound of that.

Second, I'd like to invite you all to join the new Audioscrobbler community for Coup d'Taco. This is a project run by the esteemed jon.dus. It's kind of similar to how Coup d'Taco works, but not quite. Check it out yourself.

Keep up the good work!

See that? It's a chart of people listening to Coup d'Taco. And it's been on the slow and steady rise of late. To this I say, right on! Lots of thanks to everybody who has been spreading the word and pimping the station. It's a long journey, and every little bit helps. So to help it along, I made a quick and dirty little mock ad. Feel free to use it.





Also, there'll be new sets by Zanzibar and myself later this week, as well as a re-broadcast of Love and Beats' latest set.

Here comes the jon.dus

It's Friday and it's time for jon.dus' set with all the exclusive for Coup d'Taco cuts. Stick this in your browser/MP3 player: http://grace.fast-serv.com:8942/listen.pls at around noon EST to listen live. And you can download the mix right here so you can listen whenever you want.

jon.dus - The Kolectiv Coup

Coup d'Taco Exclusive! jon.dus' new set

Generally speaking, the music you hear on Coup d'Taco is songs and mixes that have been released and distributed to the world. That's how it is on most radio stations. But jon.dus' latest set is an audio treat. The entire set is comprised off music that for the most part, has not seen the light of day... Until now.

jon.dus' The Kolective Coup will have its world premire tomorrow at Noon EST and Midnight EST. It's a funky, crazy, trippy set of music that you all should definitely check out. Available for download tomorrow. The setlist is up now, but it won't really mean anything, because you've never heard the songs before. So there.

If you'd like some more information about this, send jon an email at: jondus@endangeredkolectiv.net with "coup d'taco" in the subject line.

Get Love and Beats' beats directly

Hello everyone, hope your weekend was wonderful and BBQ-filled, as mine was. Here is the link to download Love and Beats' set directly for all those that want it. If you weren't able to catch it, I suggest checking it out now.

Love And Beats - Full Moon Night Run, vs. shut

Soon we will have new stuff by jon.dus and more. Stay tuned!

Info about Love and Beats' Set

This is straight from the mouth of Love and Beats:

The first hour of music, called "The Full Moon Night Run" is the background that would accompany a fictional night of dancing on the roof top of a moonlit skyscraper at midnight. As the cool winds swim between sweat soaked limps and people jostle their hips, this one hour nonstop mix will be there to bring their night to life and love into their life."

The second half is a DJ battle between myself and special guest DJ "shut" from the land of raspberryheaven radio. It's 8:22am and I haven't slept yet!

I'm really proud of this set and I think it's completely awesome... and hey, I actually talk this time on the set! Truly something all the kids shouldn't miss!



So there you have it. The set will be playing tomorrow at 4 PM EST and Midnight EST. Tomorrow you'll also be able to download the set directly, and read the tracklisting.

Conformity

I've finally gotten on board with the rest of the blogging world and added a links section. It's on the right hand side, beneath the DJs and Tracklistings and all that. Please check out one or all of them, as there's a lot of good music to be found there. And when you click and check their stuff out, they sometimes post a link back here, and more people find out about the wonderfulness of Coup d'Taco. And that makes everybody happy. But seriously, all those links are ones that I read, and worth investigation. If you know of links that you think I should add, please tell me. And if any links go dead and you realize it before I do, once again, please tell me.

And wouldn't you know it, Love and Beats has been hard at work preparing his latest set for you. I've not yet heard it, as it's not yet done, but from his description, it sounds fantastic. It should be in my hands tonight, and on the air tomorrow as well as for download. As always, I'll give you guys the info when I have it.

Lost Luggage's Set for download

As promised, here's the link so you can download Lost Luggage's set directly.

Lost Luggage - 5-24-05

At long last...

You've begged, pleaded, and tried to reason with me. And finally, it's time to announce that Lost Luggage's latest set is finally done. I'm sure you'll all agree that it was worth the wait. It will play tomorrow at 10 AM EST and 10 PM EST. Be sure to listen when you can. The tracklisting and direct download will go up tonight or tomorrow. Radio on!

Enjoy The Modern Sound Spectacular

That didn't take long at all. Here's the set, ready for you to download and listen to.

Tacologic - Enjoy The Modern Sound Spectacular

Check it totally out! :)

Tacologic's Set Time

Almost forgot! In my last post I failed to mention that my new set will be on today at Noon EST and 10 PM EST. So I am right now. My iPod is having technical difficulties unfortunately, so you'll have to wait for the direct download, but it should be available at some point today.

The Return of Tacologic

Yes the rumors are true, I have created another mix. This one is "Enjoy The Modern Sound Spectacular" and I hope you all will agree that it is indeed spectacular. There's no official theme, but I tried to give it an easy listening kind of a vibe while keeping it very happily random. The tracklisting is up on the right, and I'll link the MP3 tomorrow.

Only on Coup d'Taco will you find such favorites as King Richard's Fluegel Knights, Two Man Advantage, and the Fairfield Four all hurled at your ears. It's like pushing the "Random" button on your friend's iPod that has every song ever recorded.

Zanzibar rocks the world's socks

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay in update. I've been up to my ears in "real stuff" and haven't kept you all abreast with new Coup d'Taco information. Fear not, that's all changing. First and foremost, I'd like to welcome Zanzibar to the official roster of DJs (Check it out on the right!). His last set was very well received by you all, thanks for the feedback,those of you that fed back. And because he's such a good little worker bee, he's already done with his latest creation "The Uranium Age". The track listing is up, and it will be on the air tomorrow, Friday the 13th, at Noon EST and 10 PM EST. It's also available right now for download from You Send It.

Zanzibar - The Uranium Age

Next week, we should have the return of Lost Luggage, and perhaps a set by yours truly. In the near future we'll have another guest DJ, and more from all your favorites. Keep it tuned to Coup d'Taco.

More Zanzibar

So, did you listen to Zanzibar's set this afternoon? No? Well you missed a really good one. It will be on at 10 PM EST tonight, though, I understand if you just want to eat tacos and drink sangria... So for you, I'll put the set up on the You Send It system for download. Just click the link, and you'll get a kick ass mix to lsiten to at your leisure.

DJ Zanzibar's Tough Lately For Dreamers

Enjoy!

Arriba!

It's Cinco De Mayo today and I couldn't be happier. First of all, it's beautiful here in Brooklyn. Second of all, Cinco De Mayo is a holiday held sacred by myself as well as the rest of the taco-loving public. Third, and most importantly, I have a new set. I was going to cook one up myself, but instead I just ordered one from our brand spanking new DJ Zanzibar.

I'll level with you here... It's a little bit scary whenever a new DJ is added into the fray. However when I heard Zanzibar's mix for the first time, I knew he'd fit in perfectly. Check out the tracklisting on the right. He incorporates The Eurythmics, They Might Be Giants, Utah Saints and The Zombies with a great political/Communist undertone. It's playing today at Noon EST and 10 PM EST and I strongly suggest you check it out.

The file will be available for download as well, but you all will have to tell me which format you'd prefer. Let me know!

Hallelujah

It tooks literally weeks of back and forth and tons of help from friends (big ups to Love and Beats as well as Monsieur Moniker) but the torrent for the first file is available. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, Let me explain...

In the simplest terms, torrents are one of the easiest ways to share large files. The way it works, is you download torrent software. One of the leaders in the field is Bit Torrent and their software is really easy to use. Once you have that, the next step is to download a torrent file. The one I currently have going is Love and Beats' first set. So you download that file and then open it up in Bit Torrent. Bit Torrent will then search for everybody who has that torrent file open and download pieces of the file from their computers and assemble it when it's all done.

It's a great tool, because it allows for people to download very large files without one person racking up all the bandwidth charges. So after you download the file, keep the torrent open for as long as you can, so you can provide other Coup d'Taco listeners with music.

I can also check to see if people are downloading this way, which is nice. jon.dus' last set, which was distributed via You Send It, is another way. Tell me which way you prefer to download files and I'll focus on that way from now on.

Download jon.dus' new set directly

I've been trying to figure out the best way to share the music that happens here at Coup d'Taco in ways other than the stream. My initial idea was to set up torrents (which should be happening as of tomorrow) but along with that, I'd like to provide a direct link for download. This is a great idea because of the simplicity, but can be expensive due to bandwidth issues. However, I put two and two together and am going to use the technology at You Send It to make this happen.

jon.dus' By The Numbers

This link will take you to You Send It's site. From there, just click to download the file. That's it. Now you can play it wherever and whenever you want. These links go dead in a week or after it's downloaded too many times (I think) so get on it now, and please let me know if this kind of thing works for you. I'll make all the sets available this way if so.

One, two, three...

More new music coming at you today. Friend, compatriot, funk soul brother, world leader, and DJ extraordinaire jon.dus, el hombre de los robotos, has a new two hour "By The Numbers" set for your enjoyment. It plays today at Noon EST and 10 PM EST, so check it out when you get the chance. It's very good stuff, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Tracklisting is going up as soon as I'm finished typing this.

More surprises later this week are coming as well, including a new DJ and torrents. Finally. Stay tuned.

Rebroadcast

I guess I wasn't convincing enough with the whole "listen to my latest set" pitch, because few of you listened. This makes me sad. But you have another chance to check it out. Today at about Noon EST, it'll be on again, so do check it out. The tracklisting is up on the side for those of you that like a cheat sheet. Give it a chance. There's some good stuff!

On another note, perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree. Generally new sets have a scheduled air time in the late morning/noon and another in the evening. However, that was just a guess as to when people would want to listen. If it were up to you, what times would new sets air? Leave me some feedback. :)
