Coup d'Taco 7-1-09

The prevailing theme seemed to be randomness tonight. Yes, I usually do that, but there's some stuff you probably never thought you'd hear this week.

Coup d'Taco 7-1-09

Coup d'Taco 6-24-09 (with DJ Cherno)

It's about time I had a special guest. DJ Cherno and company came down to the Coup recording studios for a great show.

Also, let me know if you think the sound is better in the recording. I think it is, but we'll know more later.

Coup d'Taco 6-24-09

Coup d'Taco 6-17-09

At the end of the show, my speakers started buzzing, which was odd, and why I cut the show short. I incorrectly assumed that it was coming through on the podcast, which clearly wasn't the cast. Oh well! It was still a really fun summer show!

Coup d'Taco 6-17-09

Coup d'Taco 6-10-09

Every once in awhile, it's great to have a show that totally restores your belief in what you're doing. This was that show for me. Hope you like it as well.

Coup d'Taco 6-10-09

Coup d'Taco 6-3-09

For whatever reason, this show felt very refreshing. Please drop me a note if A. you have an idea for a theme show, and B. if you're having a problem with the podcasts.

Coup d'Taco 6-3-09

Coup d'Taco 5-27-09

For whatever reason tonight, we got a lot of instrumental tracks. Hey, these things are bound to happen from time to time. :)

Coup d'Taco 5-27-09

Coup d'Taco 5-20-09

Sorry about the beginning of the show getting snipped. Technical glitch. But we had a ton of great requests and the premier of the "featured song" at the end of the show. Enjoy!

Coup d'Taco 5-20-09

Coup d'Taco 5-13-09

Lots of great requests on my half-birthday show. Good donations, lots of fun, and all together a good show.

Coup d'Taco 5-13-09

Coup d'Taco 5-6-09

Pretty smooth show this week, despite having to pull the record scratch out... And we may have set the Coup record for most live listeners tonight. Woot!

Coup d'Taco 5-6-09

Coup d'Taco 4-29-09

There were a ton of great requests on the show this week, which is always great. Plus another three for one. Hooray music.

Coup d'Taco 4-29-09

Coup d'Taco 4-22-09

Music, fun, games, and a ton of listeners. All par for the course for yet another great episode of the Coup.

Coup d'Taco 4-22-09

Coup d'Taco 4-15-09

Behold! The creation of 3 for 1s. Check it out and send me in yours, so you can be included in on the fun. :D

Coup d'Taco 4-15-09

Coup d'Taco 4-8-09

A little bit of stream problems had us start late and cut off the way end, but they were all Coup favorites that you'd heard before, so ho huge loss. Enjoy the show anyway!

Coup d'Taco 4-8-09

Coup d'Taco 4-1-09

The Coup is back, yay! And I have no scheduled absences for awhile. Double yay! Fun show with the rainbow plague and all trying to trip me up and new audio trivia.

Coup d'Taco 4-1-09

Coup d'Taco 3-18-09

Sorry about the missed week last week, but I promise I explain what happened, along with your usual allotment of great music and fun.


Coup d'Taco 3-18-09

Coup d'Taco 3-4-09

Long live The Coup! Long live requests and trivia and fun! Viva!


Coup d'Taco 3-4-09

Coup d'Taco 2-25-09

A little bit of weirdness at the beginning (which I chopped out for you guys) didn't soil what was a pretty dang fun show.

Coup d'Taco 2-25-09

Coup d'Taco 2-18-09

Lots of soul, funk and... French music? Sure why not! Check out on the 80th episode of The Coup.

Coup d'Taco 2-18-09

Coup d'Taco 2-11-09

After my unexpected week off due to work, I had a fun show that seemed to breeze by, but also seemed to have a different vibe than most shows. Maybe it's just the timing, or the slight audio problems, but I'm a little perplexed about how it all went down. Either way though, hope you enjoy.

Coup d'Taco 2-11-09

Coup d'Taco 1-21-09 & 1-28-09

Sorry for the brainfart last week. But hey, this week you get double the Coup. Six hours of music, coming straight at ya!

Coup d'Taco 1-21-09


Coup d'Taco 1-28-09

Coup d'Taco 1-14-09

Lots of new and anticipated music this week. We had our first entry into the "make a bump for requests and dedications" contest. And you too can be a DJ! All on this week's Wednesday Night Radio Extravaganza.

Coup d'Taco 1-14-09

Coup d'Taco 1-7-09

It seems so long ago since there was a "normal" Coup, without a holiday or a special guest. And while some people would probably be suffering from holiday hangover, I didn't, and had a really good show.


Coup d'Taco 1-7-09

Coup d'Taco 12-31-08 (New Year's Rockin' Eve)

Super duper long show. Two and a half hours of the best of 2008 (with a few extras) and then another two hours afterwards. Holy music extravaganza!

Coup d'Taco 12-31-08

Coup d'Taco 12-17-08 (Crimbo Bonanza Show)

Bonanza can't even begin to describe the insanity that went on for this show. If you're in the habit of listening to the Coup and deleting it, I suggest you change your habit for this one show, as it's a keeper.

Coup d'Taco 12-17-08

Coup d'Taco 12-10-08

Fun show. Lots of requests. Next week is the Crimbo/Holiday show. And Tournament of Champions. And two weeks after that is New Years Rockin' Even with Tacologic. Taste the excitement!

Coup d'Taco 12-10-08

Coup d'Taco 12-3-08

I don't know about you guys, but it seems like forever since there's been a new Coup. That's what happens when you take a week off I guess. The trade off is that I have a ton of music I'm super excited about. Check it out!

Coup d'Taco 12-3-08

Coup d'Taco 11-19-08 (With special guest Bobby Isosceles)

Super awesome time on the Coup this week with my extra special guest Bobby Isosceles. Lots of hilarity, haberdashery and hijinks ensue. You'd be silly not to download!

Coup d'Taco 11-19-08

Coup d'Taco 11-12-08

Happy birthday Tacologic! Thanks to everybody who tuned in and helped make my birthday be awesome. The show was a lot of fun, as always. Check it out!

Coup d'Taco 11-12-08

Coup d'Taco 11-5-08

This was a fun show with some vague election overtones. Lots of good music too of course, with many new mashups. Enjoy!

Coup d'Taco 11-5-08

Coup d'Taco 10-29-08

Mostly Halloween show! I had a ton of fun, played lots of awesome music and had a ton of fun. Check it totally out.

Coup d'Taco 10-29-08

Coup d'Taco 10-22-08

More rock less talk. Didn't plan it that way, but sometimes that's how it plays out. Birthday soon, Halloween sooner, awesomeness always.

Coup d'Taco 10-22-08

Coup d'Taco 10-15-08

The Economy Show. All songs about money and banks and real estate and the government. Does it work? I'd say sorta, but you be the judge.

Coup d'Taco 10-15-08

Coup d'Taco 10-8-08

More fun on the Coup. This time you can actually hear the Whoreoscope. Plus the normal fun and music you're used to. Hooray!

Coup d'Taco 10-8-08

Coup d'Taco 10-1-08

Hey podcast listeners. I want to hear from you! Chime in your two cents on this post. Either about this show and its new trivia and new segment or whatever you want. :)

Coup d'Taco 10-1-08

Coup d'Taco 9-24-08

Tournament of Champions, me making fun of requests... All in yet another awesome installment of the Coup.

Coup d'Taco 9-24-08

Coup d'Taco 9-17-08

Happy birthday mom! And hooray for the Tournament of Champions that's finally happening next week. Note to podcast listners... any idea for the next audio trivia round theme? Please comment!

Coup d'Taco 9-17-08

Coup d'Taco 9-10-08

Fun show, good music, awesome times. About standard for the Coup. This also marks the official beginning of my crush on Apples in Stereo.


Coup d'Taco 9-10-08

Coup d'Taco 9-3-08

Behold! The super request show. Unplanned, but hey, that's just how it works out sometimes. Enjoy.

Coup d'Taco 9-3-08

Coup d'Taco 8-27-08 (With Kevin from Liquor Boxx and Nick from Zodiac)

Completely and entirely awesome show with Kevin from Liquor Boxx and Nick from Zodiac. We hung out, drank, talked music and had a generally awesome time.

Coup d'Taco 8-27-08

Coup d'Taco 8-20-08

Wow was I in a hyper mood. No caffeine or anything, that's just how it turned out. But it was a ton of fun! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Coup d'Taco 8-20-08

Coup d'Taco 8-13-08

Yeah another fun show from your man Tacologic. Check it out and enjoy!


Coup d'Taco 8-13-08

Coup d'Taco 8-6-08

A return to normalcy here on the Coup. Enough with the crazy themes and anniversaries. It's enough to tire a DJ out! Back to good, old-fashioned, awesome internet radio. Enjoy!

Coup d'Taco 8-6-08

Coup d'Taco 7-30-08 (Anniversary Show)

It's been a year since my first show. Holy crap! There's been a lot of fun, a lot of music, and a lot of awesomeness. Big thanks to everybody who made it possible. :D

Also, I was late, but last week's podcast did go up. I'm not quite sure why it isn't updating in people's iTunes/Podcatchers. Feel free to download it directly.

Coup d'Taco 7-30-08

Coup d'Taco 7-23-08 (Rock Band 2 Show)

Ack, sorry for the late post on this. Fun show though. All the songs are from the upcoming game Rock Band 2. Yay!

Also, next week is the first anniversary show. Big fun, big prizes, big awesome.

Coup d'Taco 7-23-08

Coup d'Taco 7-16-08 (DJ Tarkus Aurelius aka Coach from Two Man Advantage aka Aaron from Federale in studio guest)

Totally awesome show. Had a great time hanging out and talking music with DJ Tarkus Aurelius about his bands Two Man Advantage and Federale. High energy, lots and lots of fun. Check it out.

Coup d'Taco 7-16-08

Coup d'Taco 7-9-08

Really fun show. High energy, lots of requests and donations. Rock on!

Coup d'Taco 7-9-08

Coup d'Taco 7-2-08

The ugly technical issues surrounded this show, sadly. Managed to make it through it and have a good time. I'll try to fix the sound stuff for next week's show. In the meanwhile, check it out.


Coup d'Taco 7-2-08

Coup d'Taco 6-25-08

Lots of good requests in this show. It's always awesome when listeners give me input, makes the time just fly by. And I think people dug the new audio trivia as well. Woot!


Coup d'Taco 6-25-08

Coup d'Taco 6-18-08

Had fun with this show, right until the end when things blew up. Sorry about that. Cable guy just installed a new modem, which seems to be great.

Coup d'Taco 6-18-08

Coup d'Taco 6-11-08

Good show. Nice to get back in the night time slot. Though the heat in Coup d'Taco recording studios really needs to get a hold of itself.

Coup d'Taco 6-11-08

Coup d'Taco 6-4-08

Daytime show. Crazy! I didn't dissolve due to the sunlight. Amazing! Only two hours! Insanity!

Enjoy.

Coup d'Taco 6-4-08

Coup d'Taco 5-28-08

Next week, 1 PM EST show. Crazy!

Fun show this week. But apologies are in order. Sorry for mistyping the show date the other week... What you heard was new, but what was listed was old. And sorry I screwed up the mic button towards the end of the set. I don't think it ruined it though, just slightly annoying. Enjoy however!

Coup d'Taco 5-28-08

Coup d'Taco 5-21-08

It was nice to have a "standard" show instead of a theme show. I also felt witty at times, which hopefully translated. Also, the previously mentioned spoken word part of the show debuted, and I think I'll do some more in the future.

Coup d'Taco 5-21-08

Coup d'Taco 5-14-08 (Brian Dewan in studio guest)

Big thanks to Brian for coming over and doing the show. Slight problems with the volume of his microphone, but it was awesome talking and playing music. Hope you all agree.

Coup d'Taco 5-14-08

Coup d'Taco 5-7-08 (NYC Birthday)

I had a really good time making this set and playing it for you guys. I had been looking forward to it for awhile. Sorry that the mic went a little bit crazy at the end, not sure what happened there.

Coup d'Taco 5-7-08

Coup d'Taco 4-30-08 (Cinco de Taco)

Cinco de Taco show! To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I played a lot of Mexican music, taco music, tequila music, and random awesomeness. The next two weeks will also stray from the norm. I'm very excited about them, and I hope you are too.


Coup d'Taco 4-30-08

Coup d'Taco 4-23-08

Show show show. Fun show. Check it out!

Coup d'Taco 4-23-08

Coup d'Taco 4-16-08

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to come up with things to say about the show if there was no co-host/guest. So I'll again say that it was a fun show that people seemed to enjoy. So... Enjoy!

Coup d'Taco 4-16-08

Coup d'Taco 4-9-08

Co-DJ for the show was Lost Luggage. Also in the house, Ursa Minor, with a hint of Dawgfather. Totally fun. Check it out!

Coup d'Taco 4-9-08

Coup d'Taco 4-2-08

Fun show. I've been pleased with the level of awesomeness of late. I hope you are as well.

Coup d'Taco 4-2-08

Coup d'Taco 3-26-08

Really awesome show. Not exactly sure why, but the vibe, the music and everything just clicked. Listen for yourself!

Coup d'Taco 3-26-08

Coup d'Taco 3-19-08

What a show this week! Made up for the server issues of last week. Special guest co-host Dogfather. Tournament of Champions. Music, fun, awesomeness. Check it totally out.

Coup d'Taco 3-19-08

Coup d'Taco 3-5-08

This was an interesting show. Lots of ups lots of downs. Making up for last week's unrecorded show. But it's the Coup. We roll with it. Enjoy it!

Coup d'Taco 3-5-08

Coup d'Taco 2-20-08

Vintage Coup. Good music, lots of fun, lots of begging for meat. :)

Coup d'Taco 2-20-08

Coup d'Taco 2-13-08

+: First guest co-host Alcestis. -: Sizzling vocals. Fun show, despite the end. Check it out.

Coup d'Taco 2-13-08

Coup d'Taco 2-6-08

Here's the show. Hooray for music!

Coup d'Taco 2-6-08

Coup d'Taco 1-30-08

Upgrades have started, and thus a few glitches here and there. I'm not very happy with the way the vocals sound on this new mic, and I think I can get the old one to work with the new rig. We shall see. Either way though, fun show.

Coup d'Taco 1-30-08

Coup d'Taco 1-23-08

Really fun show this week. I realize I probably went on too long about maxing out the server, but it made me happy.

Coup d'Taco 1-23-08

Coup d'Taco 1-16-08

Fun show with brief sightings of DawgFather and the amazing Stephanie.

Coup d'Taco 1-16-08

Coup d'Taco 1-9-08

Yay, tech problems resolved. Wonderful new podcast is here.

A back note, I didn't put the Christmas music on the podcast because it no longer was timely. However, I can send a link to whoever would like it, if there's interest.

Coup d'Taco 1-9-08

Quick Update

I talked with Time Warner and fixed the problems that were happening with the skipping. Last night's show had two very minor skips, but was fine for the most part. However, the broadcast software randomly stopped twice during the show, making the final product crappy and thus not posted. I don't know why. I'm going to update some software this week and do some test runs. Cross your fingers!

Coup d'Taco 12-12-07

Slight skipping problems happened, but this was a fun show. Hope you all agree.

Coup d'Taco 12-12-07

Coup d'Taco 12-5-07

Strangeness about with the podcast this week. I set it up to record like I always do, but in the middle of it... well, listen for yourself. I'm honestly not sure how this happened. If this error repeats itself in the future, it will be taken care of, but for now my money is on strange anomaly.

Coup d'Taco 12-5-07

Coup d'Taco 11-28-07

Rock Band, Buckaroo Bonzai, and more. All on this week's Coup.

Coup d'Taco 11-28-07

EDIT: I screwed up the link when I posted this originally. Sorry. Fixed now.

Coup d'Taco 11-21-07

Here's the latest show. I apologize for the mic difficulties and my sickness. Still had fun with it though. Enjoy!

Coup d'Taco 11-21-07

Coup d'Taco 11-14-07

Birthday show! I started late, but ran an extra hour, bringing the total to around three and a half hours. Extra music is extra good.


Coup d'Taco 11-14-07

Coup d'Taco 11-7-07

Hey everybody. Sorry this is coming a day late. To make up for it, I put the songs that got messed up back in, so more music for everybody. Enjoy.

Coup d'Taco 11-7-07

Coup d'Taco 10-31-07

Halloween show! Lots of treats, few tricks, lots of good times. Enjoy.

Coup d'Taco 10-31-07

Coup d'Taco 10-24-07

Things are running fairly smoothly here. Enjoy the set and its ill-fated audio essay.

Coup d'Taco 10-24-07

Coup d'Taco 10-17-07

All the podcasting issues seem to be sorted out (for now). Hope you like the new set.


Coup d'Taco 10-17-07

Coup d'Taco 9-19-07

Sadly, the beginning of this set was cut off due to technical difficulties. The podcast recording process is still being ironed out, but I think we're getting close. Meanwhile, enjoy the show.

Coup d'Taco 9-19-07

Rebirth

Greetings to the three people still reading this blog. It's been a long, long time, so let me tell you all about what has gone on... After running the podcast and streaming radio, I got burnt out marketing it myself. I never felt like I was gaining anything and couldn't get an increase in numbers. Plus the lack of feedback was depressing. So the plug got pulled.

Since then, I'd been looking for an online radio station where I could have a weekly show, and I found it a few months ago with www.radiogkol.com. I have my show on Wednesdays from 9 until Midnight EST. It's been a lot of fun so far, and I'm getting comfortable with everything. People have asked me for a podcast, so I've been working on that, and have come up with an answer. There is software available that can turn a streaming radio show into an MP3. This week's is going to have a few glitches, but it still is pretty decent. Future podcasts will be smoother.

So, check it out, enjoy, have fun.

To Sir With Love

What's new, pussycats? DJ Blerg here, bringing you some brand-spankin' new Coup, created specially in honor of a very special dude, Britain's newest knight in shining tight pants, the one and only Tom Jones.


DJ Blerg - A Jones for Jones

Mix contains a little bit of everything - some country, some punk, some mashups, and of course, a healthy dose of the man himself. And so you know what you're listening to, here's the tracklisting.

No applause, please, just throw panties.

If you're a Daft Punk fan...

http://www.frenchflava.com/samples.php

This is probably one of the most awesome sites on the web. I love artists who sample and I get such a kick out of seeing just where all these samples come from. Daft Punk is known for using them like wildfire and here's a small collection of some of them.

Damn, not only do they make good music, they have excellent taste in it!

A Diary Of My Last Few Weekends

You know guys, if you're anything like me, you may spend your weekends getting drunk with all sorts of people (not these kinds of people, but people like this. By the way, The MisShapes throw a good time. If you live in the NY area, look them up.) The best part about these weekends are getting pretty drunk and dancing to really good music. Thankfully, I have a fairly good collection of most of the music they play at the clubs I go to, so I can recreate the experience at home or at a friend's house.

But, what if you don't know me?! What if you're not 21 and can't go drinking with us!? There's little else to do but download this set, get a hold of your favorite bottle of liquor, hit the lights, hit the bottle and hit play.

Download: LOVE and BEATS - A Diary Of My Last Few Weekends

Enjoy it through all midweek. Burn it to a CD and listen to it while going to work, at work or in the break room on your iPod. Bring it to a friend's house this weekend and tell them you brought "the jump off." I'm glad to help as always.


I haven't eaten all day and I just had the most insane urge for this... But that's a different story! See you guys soon and enjoy the good tunes!

AND DON'T FORGET:
To stay super up to date on the crew, add us on Myspace and LiveJournal!

"It's Great To Be Here."

Hey everyone! LOVE and BEATS is back!

Can you believe it? The 'Taco is back in full effect and I feel great! Senior Taco Action Specialist Tacologic has already started the ball rolling and the game is back on. I am in fact working on 3 brand new sets at once.

It's spring break, so time to lace up those shoes, drop a Coup d'Taco set on your mp3 player and hit the streets. I'll try and drop the new LAB set this week, hopefully before the weekend in time for everyone's drunken St. Patty's Day week celebrations.

In the mean time, huddle up next to your favorite bottle of liquor, crank up the sounds and I'll see you later in the week with something that will definetly light up your drunken weekends. So long folks!

New mix idea

So I gave it a week, but none of the other DJs are yet in the swing of things. That's okay, they will be. Meanwhile, I'm going to try to start spouting forth ideas for mixes and about music. Here's my first.

Awhile ago, a friend of mine who does music for a bar, told me that the bar was having a Risk tournament. She goes on to say that she has to now come up with a mix to play in the background during it. I thought this was an awesome idea, and plan on exploring some options.

What would be in your Risk mix?

No one expects the Coup d'Taco inquisition!

Greetings everybody, it's your now probably mostly-forgotten podcast friends Coup d'Taco. Where have we been? Sleeping. Hibernating for the winter. Regathering our collective strength in preperation for the New Coup. Stronger, Faster, Better. We've streamlined sets to an hour in length, packing only the truly finest music that the universe has to offer. And now it won't be just me running my mouth on the blog, it'll be any of our fine DJs, talking about music, new sets, promotions or what have you. I'm very excited for this, and I hope you get in the spirit soon.

To kick things off, my new set is now up. Click the link to download, or go over to the right and click the RSS or XML feed to get the information you need to get this podcasted. Get in the spirit!

Tacologic - Reanimation

Remember us?

Those crazy radio people who do the two-hour, eclectic music sets? Well it's that time. Time for new music. This time from Blerg. She's, well, had some spare time on her hands shall we say. And like any good person, she's put that time to good use. This good use of time has been documented in musical form and will be playing today at noon and 10 PM EST. Podcasting later.

Delicious

So that was Love and Beats' "Another Day Another Taco". Perhaps he was referring to me, perhaps not. But seeing as most of you didn't tune in, you should check it out yonder. Or at 10 PM EST.


Love And Beats - Another Day, Another Taco

Wooooosh!

What's up radio people? Got a new set today by Mr. Love and Beats. It'll be on at Noon and 10 PM EST. You can download it later today too. How about them apples?

Hominy

New DJs, new music, same fun here at Coup d'Taco. Set will be on again tonight at 10 PM EST. Or you can just download it now if you can't wait that long.

Mr. Rosebud - Lost in America (and Elsewhere)

Hey you

Yeah you! You should check out Coup d'Taco today at either Noon or 10 PM EST today, because there's a new set. This new DJ guy, Mr. Rosebud is going to be playing his first set. He's a "FOZ" (Friend of Zanzibar) so that means he has to be good. So check it out. I'll put up a link this afternoon/evening.

Getting back on track...

So the stream is back up. That was step number one. Step two is getting back to updates, and that's happening today at Noon and 10 PM EST. Zanzibar's Dedications set will be on then. Some of you may have already podcasted it, but now the rest of us can check it out too.

About time!

The Coup is back on the air. Sorry for the downtime. We'll resume with updates tomorrow.

The stream is down

Sorry folks, but the Coup d'Landlord needs to come and fix the electricity before we get up and running again. There's a Flashback Friday that needs to be flashed back. Also, expect not quite as much material a week. We'll see how that goes.

Betcha thought I forgot

Well I didn't. How could I, it's the triumphant return of Zanzibar. I'm just curious to see how many people end up downloading this without the help of the live stream. We shall see. Meanwhile, enjoy this as you normally would, but perhaps a bit funkier.

Zanzibar - Dedications

Woah shit!

My set is on now! Now I tell you, now! I'm even putting it on at midnight, because no one is listening. Damn youse guys! Damn youse all to hellllllll!

Tacologic - The Razzle Dazzle With The Fizzle Fazzle

Long eared hype master chum chucker...

Time for a new set by yours truly. Good stuff including Trans Am, AC DC, The Nelories, The Police, and De La Soul. Noon and 10 PM EST. This set is going to ram into you like a caboose mama, but a gentle one, a gentle one!

Friday, I mean Sunday Flashback

Why not try something different? So here's Zanzibar's Uranium Age. Check it out if you haven't.

Zanzibar - The Uranium Age
