I played the closing set at Chillits this past weekend, starting around 11:15 on Sunday morning. Since this was the end of the event, I decided to expand a bit beyond the usual chillitude expected of Chillits DJs: I played political music, with guitars and even some yelling in places. But of course I tried to make it fun, or at least enjoyable.

I'm not sure if it was successfully recorded -- I'll update this article if it was -- but a couple people have asked for a track listing, and for once I'm able to supply one.

Previously, I described how I get music from podcasts into my ears. But I haven't yet described which music podcasts I subscribe to, or why.

I started with Salon.com's Audiofile column, which they have now discontinued. With the new setup, I added The Hype Machine, which collates what's popular from dozens of music blogs. Unfortunately, much of what's popular doesn't appeal to me. So, I started focusing on individual music blogs -- often subscribing from The Hype Machine's list so that Juice will recognize & automatically download the mp3 files. Here's my current list of subscriptions, in alphabetical order:

In May, I wrote about my iTunes/Juice setup. It's evolved a bit since then, so I've been meaning to post an update.

I'm still using iTunes to pull down news podcasts, and Juice for "song of the day" (or week, or whatever) podcasts, exactly as described previously. The playlists, however, have gotten more complicated.
