Krambox Radio

September 2007 Super Spectacular!

Krambox Radio emerges briefly from hibernation to tell you a little ditty about Jack and Diane. Despite losing our FCC license once again, the song requests keep pouring in, in addition to the record labels wanting Krambox Radio to showcase their artists. Advice to marketing reps at labels: My show gets less listeners per month than kids in my high school class. Granted, Krambox listeners are the most influential listeners in the world (Kanye West asks our resident listeners what's going to be hip), so maybe it's a wash.

Additionally, the DJs of Krambox Radio bring you a Krambox first: Remixing a song and putting it out there. Not saying it's any good, but it's fun to try and pretend to be musically talented. Hear for yourself!

Also, mad props to the Facebook world for making Krambox Radio an application for you to add and share via Facebook. Add it to your Facebook today!

Holy crap, that's a big radio show!

I apologize profusely for the mega-delay in getting the latest show out (sensing a theme, here?), but it's finally here, and it's XL because you rock, and you know it. Actually, it's because it's been so long, I felt like I needed to give you a few extra hits, and because hey, Krambox Radio is cool like that.

What better way to celebrate the first anniversary of Krambox Radio by failing to do an April and May show? Well, our license was temporarily revoked, so we apologize for the delay. It was certainly better than uploading a big file that said, "Technical Difficulties: Please Stand By."

March Madness: Can we possibly mix it up any more?

Download March Show (69MB: 71 minutes)

It's March Madness time, and I hope your brackets have yet to break. I have no idea what's happening in this year's hoops tournament. I've been too busy coming up with an eclectic mix to satisfy your smorgasbord craving.

Btw, mad props to "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" which won an Oscar for best film song this year. As you may recall, you heard that song featured here first last year. Just further proof that not only is Krambox Radio your best destination for music - it's also the smartest. Well, at least the most prescient.

Unclear if any of this month's artists will be up for Oscars next year, but they win my award for good times. Man On the Scene: Superthorn recommends some Ukranian tunes -- stay tuned to the next edition of Krambox where we'll get the download on the Gogol Bordello show. Props to Lindsay for the Cat Power request. Also, we repay CBT Dunn for his overlooked Underworld request this month. Thanks to all the musicians who are sending in their cuts for airplay. Keep sending in your requests and tunes. The World of Krambox awaits you.

Gimme a beat!

2. Blur: Girls and Boys

February Krambox: If it don't got curry, I ain't gonna worry

2006-02-04T11:41:00.000-08:00

Download February Show (69MB: 66 minutes)

(if you downloaded the file before Feb 4 at 4pm Pacific, redownload. I had set the quality setting too low, and it sucked. I've re-encoded it, and the quality is much better now. 10MB bigger, but it's worth it. It's why you bought the 30GB iPod anyway)

Happy new year, both Western and Chinese!

Back from India with a whole bucketful of groovy tunes. So many on the playlist in fact, that we had to cut the show short at 66 minutes, with artists clamoring for more airplay on Krambox Radio. It's because the artists respect you, the listener of Krambox Radio. They make music solely for you. Well, that and fame, fortune, tireless amounts of alcohol, drugs and groupies, too. But mainly for you.

The latest edition of Krambox Radio has more of a mix than you'll typically find in tikka chicken masala. Of course, my show won't leave the western gringos scrambling for antacids. Usually. Thanks to my local boys for the inspiration for this week's show: Flegel, Songerw, Dhir, The Suresh, JP, and Buck.

Btw, thanks to all of you for clicking on the Krambox Radio ads to make a donation to Heifer.org. Thanks to you, we generated more than $36 simply by listening to the show and clicking the ads. Those dollars are going to help out folks in need in developing countries. And thanks to those of you who made straight donations of nearly $500. That's awesome.

Jimmy, what's on the dial this month?

1. Ladytron: Destroy Everything That You Touch
2. Marilyn Manson: Dope Show
3. The Jesus and Mary Chain: Far Gone and Out
4. Sunidhi Chauhan: Dhoom Machale
5. Mylo: Drop

December - January Show! Pass the Yule Log!

Download December-January Show (58MB: 72 minutes)

Don't ask me about November. I don't know where the show went. I'm not talking about it. It wasn't my fault. Really. It was that person over there. (S)he did it.

But let's move on, shall we? This show is nicely pickled with oodles of surprises and delightfully delicious songs for us to share. Oh goody! Yes, Phil Collins is right. There's something in the air tonight. A-whoa-ah. A-whoa.

December and January are jam-packed with a nice selections of songs, hand-crafted in Bavaria. Thanks to my buddy TK who picked up a few listeners on his Harley-Davidson tours. Mad props to Christian for the links. And thanks to KYOU Radio, which is playing my Show #1 over and over and over. Dudes, the show sucked. Pick up my feed and check out the latest shows. OK, they kinda suck too, but at least the microphone is better positioned.

BTW, the site I mention at the end of the site is Heifer.org. Definitely a nice alternative to material gifts this holiday season!

ANOTHER BTW UPDATE: I added advertisements to my blog to put my money where my mouth is. For the next 30 days, any profits I make off of my ads will be donated to Heifer. Additionally, I'll donate the same dollar amount to Heifer even if I lose money (although my losses are capped per day, so help me out on the positive side. :) ). This is part of my experiment with ads, and also a way for you to help out a worthy cause with just a simple click.

On with the tunes:

1. OK Go: Invincible
2. Depeche Mode: A Pain That I'm Used To
3. Basement Jaxx: Good Luck
4. Dresden Dolls: Girl Anachronism
5. Lustra: Scotty Doesn't Know

Write a review for Krambox Radio at Yahoo Podcasts!

Krambox Radio is back with a special two-part podcast. Thanks to you, the fans, we have two different shows to download. Some of you wanted a show that was mellow, lighter and, frankly, more feminine all the way throughout. We heard you, and answered your requests with some really excellent music. Still others of you demanded hard-core manly music. Enough to make your stomach grumble from the bass lines (or was that the chili cheese corn dog you had for lunch?). Mixed in with your testosterone-packed show is a little social commentary even -- on how even the virtuous can benefit from a little bit of marketing. It's another exciting month...pushing the envelope, on Krambox Radio!

Krambox Radio went on temporary hiatus in August, after contacting The Oracle, who basically advised against radio broadcasts, too much time in the sun, and shellfish. Happily, The Oracle blessed this September show and said it was good. Many new tunes and bands this week. Some movie tunes, and an EXCELLENT cover of a powerful song...but you have to listen to the entire show to get to that cover? (Ok, there are such things as fast forward, but you wouldn't want to hurt my feelings now, would you? Don't answer that.)

The beat goes on with the latest edition of Krambox Radio. Lots of animal songs with Gorillaz and Eels. The Massive Attack leaves Keane M.I.A., so you better send in the Eagles of Death Metal. Man, that was a really lame promo on my part. I'll never do that again. Seriously though: Go buy Eagles of Death Metal. You won't be disappointed.... unless you're expecting an album of death metal.

Welcome to the first show of Krambox Radio. This is my first ever podcast, and boy, is it rough around the edges. If I had something better than a $5.99 microphone from Fry's, it'd probably sound better. Well, it'd probably help if I had a team of sketch writers and amateur musicians to make it more interesting, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

No idea how frequently I'll do this -- maybe once a month? I will say it was a lot of fun to make, and even though the dialogue is pretty sterile, my fan base found it amusing.

Send me any correspondence, love letters, advice or requests to krambox-radio@yahoo.com. I'll be glad to play whatever you like for your next couples skate around the Roll-a-Rena.

Btw, the sound quality is awful. My microphone rattles, the songs are higher/lower volume depending on the tune. Gimme a break. I'll fix next time.

This week's show features (32MB):
1. Nine Inch Nails: Hand That Feeds
2. Weezer: We Are All on Drugs
3. Garbage: Til the Day I Die
4. Cracker: Teen Angst
5. Dandy Warhols: Bohemian Like You
6. Tones on Tail: Go
7. PJ Harvey: This is Love
8. Hives: Hate to Say I Told You So
9. Texas: Summer Son

PS. Many thanks to ZoeRadio, a radio station run by a 14-year-old girl, for providing me the inspiration to give this a whirl.
