NonDescript Playlist: 07 October 2008

Bryan — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:00:58 +0000

Ahh… bloody hell. The L.A. Angels of Anaheim, the one part of The O.C. that I don’t mind admitting to still enjoying, just couldn’t put away the Boston Red Sox, and so there goes that glorious season. I really thought we were going to pull it together, but it was not to be… so here’s the $%#^@!-in’ playlist.

The show airs Tuesdays @ 9am PDT. Listen live on KCSB-FM 91.9 in Santa Barbara, or via KCSB’s webcast. Or sign up for the podcast below.

NonDescript Money: 30 September 2008

Bryan — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:00:07 +0000

Since everyone LOVES hearing about the economy, I decided to reinforce the misery by doing an entire show full of songs all about money - since it seems that money is something that very few of us will be seeing again for a long, long time.

Thanks to Josh Redman for taking the reigns of NonDescript last week while I was in Yosemite. Here’s the playlist for this week.

The playlist for this week.

I’m leaving for a week-long camping trip in Yosemite National Park on Thursday. There’s a 50-50% chance that I’ll be able to get pre-produce a show next week. The show website will have it up on Monday.

The playlist for this week. Insert something witty… here.

NonDescript ReCovers: 19 August 2008

Bryan — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:00:25 +0000

With my boss out of town this week, I drew the short straw and will be speaking at three public meetings on KCSB’s behalf today. With the tight schedule, I’ve decided to do a re-air this week, but it’s a fun one - the first cover song edition that originally aired on February 5th. I’ll be back live next week.

NonDescript Canucks Rock: 12 August 2008

Bryan — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 13:15:55 +0000

This week, we feature various artists attached to the Canadian indie-rock scene, with special emphasis on the various Broken Social Scene connections. I wish I could take credit for the idea behind this theme, but it largely was inspired by a conversation I had on this message board - so thanks to Jamie aka Bullitt for the idea.

And instead of the requisite Tom Lehrer, we say goodbye to Isaac Hayes.

NonDescript Playlist: 05 August 2008

A six-hour round-round trip drive to LAX kept this from getting up in a timely manner. Not bad with 2 minutes to go. Artist links will be added later, but there’s not a ton of stuff here that I haven’t played before.

NonDescript Playlist: 29 July 2008

Bryan — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:00:00 +0000

I am still recovering a bit from my trip to Portland, so I was a bit lethargic putting this week’s show together. While Portland should be a two-hour flight, I had to alter my initial return plan and, as a result, flew from Portland to Eugene to San Francisco to Santa Barbara - so it took over five hours to get home on Sunday. This isn’t factoring in that I really didn’t get loads of sleep during my trip, so the sum of my trip subtracted from this show.

For those keeping track, I’ve used “factor”, “sum”, and “subtracted” in a sentence describing a radio show. Fortunately, the music is really, really great, so, ignoring my boring segues, it is very much worth a listen.

NonDescript on Fire: 22 July 2008

Bryan — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:00:41 +0000

This week, I am traveling to Portland, Oregon for a radio conference. Just thought I’d share. And hey, there is a theme this week! Can you figure it out? I bet you can!

Incidentally, after a recent upgrade of the software that runs this site, a few minor things broke - one of which is the player that allows you to listen to the show through the website. Hopefully, that will be restored by next week. Edit: Hey - I managed to get it working with a little hack! It’s almost like I know what I am doing!
