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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
