What a crazy one today. We were in the studio, on air live, from noon until 430. And we played nothing but music from the country of Texas. First, DJ Bongohead and I took over the slot at 12 from a vacationing Anilyn. With that, we had a special chicano edition of Anilyn's show Cancion Urgente, playing Tejano music of all eras, including cumbias, rancheras, funk, etc...right up to contemporary cumbiaton.
Then we did our little feature on Austin's mighty Grupo Fantasma, who will be playing tomorrow night at the Iron Horse in Northampton, 7pm. Congrats to the ticket winners! We had a chat with Fantasma bandleader Adrian Quesada (his THIRD time on Clandestino!). And I actually forgot to play the brand new Brownout tracks from their forthcoming album!
Then we attempted to delve into various funk, psych, blues, soul, punk, and country from Texas. We didn't cover all that much ground to tell you the truth. We had to leave out the jazz stuff we wanted to play, due to time constraints. We did, however, get a visit in-studio from DJ 12XU, who brought by some Texas punk. Good things. Good times.
There will probably be a little bit of spillover on the funk side of things next week.
