MILLIONS, Jr.

Son fills in for dad on this take-your-kid-to-work edition of MILLIONS. Of course, this radio show isn't actually work, nor was it take-your-kid-to-work-day when we recorded it. Venec just wanted to do a show, and I set him up with the MILLIONS timeslot. One thing that came up was when he played a Dinosaur, Jr. song I told him about how the band was originally called Dinosaur. When they heard that another band had already used that name, they added the Jr. Venec and I agreed that it made for a better, more interesting band name. In many ways guest hosts make for better, more interesting MILLIONS. A few of you have volunteered for summer spots, please contact me and let's get them scheduled.

MILLION-A-THON

This week there's new stuff from Peter Bjorn and John, PJ Harvey & John Parish as well as some older stuff you may or may not already be familiar with!!

Download podcast here: http://www.mediafire.com/?xilydjyijl4

Listen live on http://radioboise.org at 11am Tuesday (Mountain Time)

here's what is happening:
Icy Demons - As It Comes
the Lights - When You Smile
Dirty Projectors - Rise Above
Slint - Breadcrumb Trail
Arab Strap - Haunt Me

Bill Callahan - Sycamore
Peter Bjorn and John - Just the Past
PJ Harvey and John Parish - Sixteen,Fifteen,Fourteen
Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter - The Open Halls of the Soul

I found myself in a conversation recently where I expressed jealousy for another radio station that clearly has its place and it knows exactly what it is. Off course, DJs there can't play everything they like which is what I get to do. I kind of wish that there was a term for the type of mix that I play. Something more descriptive than "freeform" and not as restrictive as "modern adult contemporary" or "punk." Any ideas?

Keep sending in your recommendations! Also, I'll be looking for guest hosts and co-hosts over the summer so please let me know if you're interested.

Thanks for listening

State of Millions.

I tried working with a theme this week. I really very randomly selected California, a western state very near to Idaho (where I live). Do any of these songs have anything to do with the state of California? I think that there's a few obvious ones, like cocaine, smog, film industry, etc. There are a handful of songs from artists living in the state as well.

http://forthazel.com/millions.mp3

Well, here it is:

The USA is a Monster - Cocaine Wedding
B.S. - Hole in the Sky
No Age - Every Artist Needs a Tragedy
Dr. Dog - Worst Trip
Belle and Sebastian - Like Dylan in the Movies
Danny Elfman / Oingo Boingo - Pico and Sepulveda
the Temptations - Psychedelic Shack
Quem Quaeritis - Slangin' Family Ties
So So Buffalo - One of These Days
Howling Bells - In the Woods
A.C. Newman - Miracle Drug
Liars - Plaster Casts of Everything
Abe Vigoda - Unknown song title.
the Mae Shi - Testify
Mika Miko - Take Hold
Hickey - Treadle of the Loom
Dead Western - My Old Home
Katrah-Quay - Enigmatic Breeze Thru Hyper Crack


Oh yeah - there's some curses on a few of the songs. Use your listening discretion.

New MILLIONS at New Home

The radio show is now being aired at 11 am on Tuesday on the online community radio station here in Boise, http://radioboise.org MILLIONS will air after Hard Math which is a great all-local radio show and before Quiet Please which I haven't yet heard but have been told it's great!

This station has been around for awhile and is currently Boise's best hope at securing a terrestrial non-profit community signal that is not religious nor NPR. They are still in fund-raising mode, but expect to begin broadcasting on FM in October.

MILLIONS will continue to be available for download thanks to Fort Hazel (http://forthazel.com)
Here's the link to the file: http://forthazel.com/millions.mp3

Battles - Atlas
Viva Voce - Daylight

Please keep recommending songs for future shows!

New home - shorter name.

The radio show is now on Tuesdays on Boise Community Radio Project at 11:00 AM. The feed to iTunes is broken and I'll have to get that set up again. In the meantime watch this spot for new shows to show up for download!
Oh, and back episodes are available in torrent form, four most recent of them included here: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4709417/There_Are_Millions
Thanks!!

The show is now simply MILLIONS. This doesn't reduce the ambiguity much, but it is less awkward to say than There are Millions.

End of the World as You Know it - Millions

The gloom:
This radio show can no longer be called a radio show. It is now simply a podcast. I have volunteered myself out of the Sunday line-up of the University Pulse, the local student-run radio web and AM radio station. So, until I ink a deal with XM or a pirate radio station or something in between There Are Millions is just a pod-cast. I may produce this podcast regularly, I may not.

The bright side:
The one thing that has not changed is my interest in what music you recommend! Some of my favorite music of recent months has come from you! Please keep the recommendations coming to me, either by email, in person or via phone.

here's the direct shot to this week: http://forthazel.com/millions.mp3

Millions last show on the University Pulse:
Comets on Fire - Hatched Upon the Age
Clap your Hands Say Yeah - The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth
Company Caine - The Last Scene
Lijadu Sisters - Cashing In
Sondre Lerche - Say it All
Violent Femmes - Country Death Song
Viva Voce - Business Casual
Brazilian Girls - Ricardo
Valet - Streets
Battles - Tonto

Thanks to Keith for the guest hosting last week! One of my best shows ever!

Millions - Guest host Keith Zim.

Jeremy is making me write this blurb even though the show has no theme and i can't come up with any smart-aleck quips like you-know-who. if i had thought about the timing, maybe i would have put up some bruce springsteen songs, but i guess obama is more into the jonas bros and fall out boy, anyway.
I've been consuming way too much dairy as of late, which may explain the lack of rock in these tunes, who knows. They're probably most appropriate for late night walks with strangers or by yourself. Enjoy! -Keith

Not a Best of... (Part 2)

I didn't mean to do it, but after I finished the show we'll now call "part one" I knew I had to do another one. There's sooo much left still!!! I will resist the urge to do a part three and get on with processing your great recommendations as well as including music from before and after 2008.

http://forthazel.com/millions.mp3


ding, ding!
Business Lady - "Air and Water" from Torture Footage
Dan Melchoir's Broke Revue - "Hungry Ghost" from Bitterness, Spite, Rage and Scorn
Nick Cave & Bad Seeds - "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!" from Dig, Lazarus, Dig!
Lowbelly - "Minokichi Meets the Snow Maiden" from X
Dan Giberman - "Freefall Eucalyptus" from Thrills Without Gills - A Celebration of the Living Land
Deerhunter - "Agoraphobia" from Microcastle
High Places - "The Storm" from self-titled album
Dr. Dog - "The Old Days" from Fate
Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - "Bag of Hammers" from We Brave Bee Stings and All
Singer - "Slow Ghosts" from Unhistories
Idaho Roots Musicians - "Owyhee Miner's Lament" from a collection of old songs from Idaho
Jay Reatard - "Screaming Hand" from Matador Singles '08
the OhSees - "Adult Acid" from The Master's Bedroom is Worth Staying a Night In
Extreme Animals - "Get a Job" from Let the Music Take You There
Pyramids - "Hellmonk" from Pyramids
Tu Fawning - "Sound You Warn"
Pattern is Movement - "Bird" from All Together
Who by Fire - "Wrapped in Green, In Early Morning" from daydream, skyline crippled red

Conspicuously absent are albums from Two Prong, Breeders, 31 Knots, USAisaMonster, Pepi Ginsberg, Health, the Mae Shi, Die Die Die, Witch and so on. So many great 2008 albums, incredibly little time. The more I think about what I didn't play the more I really feel like a jerk playing Lowbelly. The show is finished though, history will decide how to view that move.

Not a Best of 2008 part one

Greetings and thanks for being involved this past year! Please keep coming back to listen and to recommend tracks in 2009!!

All songs this week are from bands that shined this past year. It is in no way intended to be a "best of" for the year.

Here's a direct shot to download the PODcast: http://forthazel.com/millions.mp3

Department of Eagles - "In Ear Park" from the album In Ear Park
the Silver Jews - "My Pillow is a Threshold" from the album Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea
Crystal Antlers - "A Thousand Eyes" from the self-titled EP
NightWounds - "Ghana" from the Nail in the Coffin split LP with AIDS Wolf
Landed - "Times I Despise" from the album How Little Will it Take
Tim and Eric - "Cops and Robbers" from the collection of songs off of "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!"
Thomas Function - "Lights Down Low" from the album Celebration
Dead Western - "My Old Home" from the album Soften Your Screams Into Sings
Chad VanGaalen - "City of Electric Light" from the album Soft Airplane
Parenthetical Girls - "Song for Ellie Greenwich" from the album Entanglements
Fleet Foxes - "Mykonos" from the EP Sun Giant
Crystal Stilts - "Converging in the Quiet" from the self-titled LP
Sic Alps - "Mater" from the album U.S. Ez
Sparks - "Operation" from the album Exotic Creatures of the Deep
Abe Vigoda - "Endless Sleepers" from the album Skeleton
AIDS Wolf - "Now Yr Gonna Lose It" from the Nail in the Coffin split LP with NightWounds

Also great this year were incredible albums by Deerhunter, Lowbelly, Torche, Two Prong, Panther, Valet, Ratatat, Dan Friel, Radiohead, Pattern is Movement, Pyramids, Parts and Labor, the OhSees, No Age, Dr. Dog, Dan Giberman, the Mayyors, Jay Reatard, etc. It would have been foolish of me to attempt a truly "best of" for this past year. It reminds me of the theory that the quality of art and artists thrive during times of oppression and war. While many of us may not have felt oppressed, we have had some policies in place that may have encouraged some great art!! Thank you to the exiting administration for all of the good music that you helped to inspire by pissing many people off!! If there's any truth to the theory that art and government are inversely related, I hope the next eight years suck for music and art.

Love,
Jeremy
