Setlist #32 4.18.10 - Pet Owner's Independence Episode

This Sunday was Pet Owners' Independence Day! This holiday requires that all pet owners switch lifestyles with their pets. This means you get to laze around all day and eat all you want and shit outside, and your cat or dog has to go to work for you. So really, I should have not done this show, and made my Siamese:) Jinx go DJ. Unfortunately, the night before Pet Owners' Independence Day I got really drunk at the new DJ trainee party, and woke up in my own bed with my t-shirt tucked into my jeans and without my cell phone. Thus, I was a half hour late to the show and I forgot to bring little Jinxy. Happy Pet Owners' Independence Day!

Setlist #31 4.12.10 Environmental Education Episode

Starting this week, Morning Wood will now have a theme each week. I am going to try and make it related to some sort of holiday or awareness week, because it turns out there are multiple unofficial holidays every day. This Sunday was the beginning of National Environmental Education Week. It is raining again here in San Luis Obispo, and it makes me remember we are all just tiny animals living on a tiny round rock floating in the universe and we happen to have super-developed brains and we built all this shit around us so we forget we are living, breathing organisms. Don't forget that. Whatever your beliefs are about religion or whatever, you must know that the Earth is our real mother, and we have to be nice. I tried to play all music that related to environmentalism, at least in my head.


Live More / Waste Less.

Miles Davis - I'll Remember Spring
The Beta Band - Dry The Rain

Don't be a litter bug! :)

Change/Setlist #30 4/4 - Easter Edition

I am sorry to discover that it has been 9 weeks since the last post, but then I realize that no one will ever read this blog. The end of last quarter produced many distractions - including a trip to Canada - and I was unable to post our past 6 setlists. Whatever.
There has been some change at Morning Wood. DJ Belloq is no longer a permanent host of the show. He has focused in on his krautrock show Die Koshmische Ei. It is now on Sundays from 8-10pm. It's a fantastic show - check it out. So, it will be me, DJ Gibbler at the controls. Also, the show is reduced to 1 hour.
I really hope to get the recordings of my show on this site. Hopefully that happens in the near future.
Until then, listen to Morning Wood, the only wind instrumentation specialty show in the world, on 91.3fm or go to kcpr.org and listen live on Sunday mornings from 11-12pm!

Here is what I played today on the Easter edition of Morning Wood:
