  • Read It And Weep
    One of the funniest podcasts out there

    If you're like me you hate things that suck, and there are a lot of things that suck out there in the world. Thankfully, Read It And Weep is there to dish it out to the crappy pop fiction that deserve it the most. Twilight, The Lost Symbol... The Notebook.... They all had it coming. Listen and enjoy!

Journey Into Space Music 11-05-09

This month I decided it was time for me to explore one of my favorite styles of ambient music... "SPACE MUSIC." Now I know that my "Space Traveler Series" touches on the spacey side of ambient music, however, those episodes are still very much tempo driven. This month's downtempo podcast is comprised of music all but devoid of true tempo. The songs are much more freeform for the most part, only really driving tempos using arpeggiators or rhythmic sound. Space Music creates massive soundcapes that invoke mental imagery of far away worlds, stars, and nebulae. I have been a fan of Space Music since I was a child. I think the first time I ever heard this style of music was during a car ride home from the beach while listening to "Hearts of Space" on NPR... I was fascinated with it. I have tinkered with my own space music throughout the years and decided to include an original, improvisational piece of music that I created and recorded on the fly for this podcast. Here is a link to download my song free of charge... Download Here. While I am certainly an amateur at producing this wonderful music, I must say that it is an amazing experience to sit down to a keyboard and create it on the fly. Surrounded by LED's, LCD's, blinky lights, sliders, knobs... it almost feels as if you are piloting your own spacecraft through a universe of sound that you are creating with your own creative mind. I have a real appreciation for just how complicated it is to control so many timbers, morphing between sounds, tempos (or lack thereof,) keys... worlds... all the while keeping it all together, in a freeform flow of consciousness. Composers like Serrie, Gulan, Brennan, etc are true masters of this craft. I invite you to put on a pair of headphones, turn off the lights, lay down, hit play... and drift away in to a wonderful universe of sound. Don't worry, you will be back home in a little over 80 minutes. ;) Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Altus- For All Time 02. Kendall Station- Tether 03. Ulrich Schnauss- In Between the Years 04. Andrew Lahiff- Static Neon Flow 05. Gulan- The Black Hole 06. Jonn Serrie- Stratos 07. Chad Helenthal- Ambient Space Unknown 08. Thom Brennan- Raingardens Are you a Facebook user?

Oh yaaaaa! The drink of the day... it is something I am looking so forward to. For those of you that have ever been on a cruise, you completely understand how fun the "drink of the day" can be, and this month's downtempo podcast is inspired by just that. You see, I have an upcoming vacation that I am excited about. I am not taking a cruise (this time) but, we are going to carry over that wonderful idea to our trip in to unspoiled Florida. Good scenery, good fun, good drinks, and good company... who could ask for more? Well I guess me, because a good soundtrack to listen to while sipping the drink of the day is always a good idea. That is what this month's set is all about. It is leisure time! :) You are going to find a menagerie of music styles in this month's podcast. Jazz, Salsa, Bossanova (you know I love the bossas,) downtempo, chillout, funk... it is quite diverse. Is it cocktail hour yet? Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Nickodemus- Conmigo ft. Sammy Ayala & The Candela Allstars 02. Belladonna- Bossa Esfera 03. Milano Jazz Dance Combo- Sam Blues 04. Clarisse Albrecht- Voce Me Da´ 05. Crystal Stafford- My Secret 06.

Good Evening Space Travelers 2009 08-07-09
8/7/2009 | Download File (68.37 MB) - right click to download
This month's podcast is a continuation of my "Space Traveler" series and is once again dedicated to the folks over at Lounge Radio. I try to add an episode to this series every year and I figured it was time to slow things down, and, bring out the deeper side of downtempo for this month's show. I took a trip to Berlin in July and had an amazing time. I had the opportunity to visit a few clubs, lounges, and bars. It really seems that Germans love their Minimal Electronica. I was pretty surprised just how much that trip influenced my song selection this month. Almost inadvertently I found myself seeking out deeper, minimal types of music to mix along with ambient and chill out tunes. I am quite pleased with what came about from that subconscious decision. After listening to the complete episode, I am quite sure that Berlin has forever left its mark in my heart. This month's chillout podcast includes a wonderful selection of deeper chillout music, ambient, and what do you know... even a few minimal tunes. :) Enjoy! Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Vector Lovers- Rusting Cars & Wild Flowers 02. Marconi Union- Ginza District 03. Colt!- In Memory Of The Sun 04. The Black Dog- Train By The Autobahn (Part 1) 05. Mike Foyle & Augustine Leudar- De Bells Of Nafin 06. Krusseldorf- Insidious Doctor Mouse 07. Youandewan- 1988 08. Anomy- Arabian Coffee 09. Klangzeit- Deepdive 10. Marter- Potsdamer Platz ft.

Jazz Steppin' 2009 05-01-09
5/1/2009 | Download File (62.59 MB) - right click to download
So this month I decided it was time to finally follow up 2007's Jazz Steppin' episode with another dose of chilled out drum and bass. Jazz Steppin' is really about kicking up the tempo a bit but still maintaining a chilled out vibe. Lots of jazz, r&b, samba, and funk combined with intelligent drum and bass music. A lot of Drum n Bass is hard and edgy these days. It seems that you really have to dig to find the jazzier stuff which is a real shame. However, spend some time digging and you will stumble across some great artists still producing music with a softer, more "musical" sound. Heavy DNB is fine for doing some serious "dancing" or for working out. However, the jazzier stuff is what I want for sofa surfing and just chilling out. ;) > By the way, I just wanted to invite everyone that uses Facebook to join the Chill With The Chola group by clicking HERE. If you are a Myspace user you can find me HERE. Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Galapago- La Maquina y Yo 02. Sardi- Primavera 03. Zuco 103- Volta (Bossacucanova Remix) 04. Dan Marshall- Fools Paradise 05. The Funktastics- Crocodile Skin 06. Bazeado- Segunda Feira (Bungle Remix) 07. Mutt- She Likes It 08. Shapeshifter- Equinox 09.

Urban Cocktail Hour 2009 02-10-09
2/11/2009 | Download File (57.50 MB) - right click to download
Well I hate to say it... it is unfortunate... but the fact of the matter is that every podcaster comes to a point where he has a creative block. Moments become hours, hours become days, days become weeks... etc, etc, etc. As an avid podcast subscriber, I have always hated when a DJ misses a show... don't they know that we are waiting, patiently waiting, to listen to what they will bring us next? I hate when they do that... oh wait, I am guilty of just that! I am indeed sorry. I did not post a podcast in January, the very month that the Chill with the Chola podcast turned two years old. I will try to make up for that throughout the year, posting an extra episode here or there if possible, or even better, finding more guest DJ's to produce mid month episodes. I finally found my muse after booking a trip to Chicago this coming weekend... I cannot wait! I am headed up to Chicago to celebrate Valentine's Day with the girl that I love. To be in one of my favorite cities with my favorite person excites me to no end. A city full of romance, UNBELIEVABLE food, scenery, jazz/ blues, etc... I just cannot wait! This month I have decided to revisit a classic "Chill with the Chola" idea... the Urban Cocktail Hour, inspired by the trip that I am about to make to one of this nation's finest cities. The Urban Cocktail Hour is about celebrating the music inspired by the big city... jazz, funk, lounge, downtempo, jazzy hip hop... it is all here. If this set does not get your head bobbin,' I am not sure what will. I hope that you will enjoy this month's podcast with your favorite libations. I would like to dedicate one of the most interesting, unconventional, and beautiful pieces of music in this month's set (Jazzanova's "Little Bird") to my own little bird. XO. Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Funk Off- Magic Touch 02. Katalyst- All You've Got (Ft. Hau, Ru C.L., Yungun) 03. Fort Knox Five- Sao Funky (Parts 1 & 2) 04. Mario Biondi- This Is What You Are (Dim's Hipster Jazz) 05. Khromozomes & Kristin Mainhart- Another Girl 06. Kero One- In All The Wrong Places 07. Roberto Roena- Take Five (Nicola Conte Remix) 08. The Apples- Killing (45 Mix) 09. Nitin Sawhney- Days of Fire (Ft. Natty) 10. Jazzanova- Little Bird (ft. Jose James) 11. The Stance Brothers- Capricorn 12. The Bird And The Bee- Polite Dance Song 13. Kenichiro Nishihara- From Time To Time (ft. Gregg Green) And by the way... a big phat tuba bassline with a tenor sax solo just makes me want to get down!1 minute 46 seconds... that sh!t gets the f@ck down! I just thought that you should know that :) This Podcast is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License to support the interests of the original featured artists.

Best of 2008 12-10-08
12/10/2008 | Download File (73.46 MB) - right click to download
Wow! This year has flown by. It seems like just yesterday that I was struggling to compile the "Best of 2007." As tough as that was, compiling the Best of 2008 was an even larger undertaking. I have such an emotional connection with so much of the music that I pick for this show, that going back through it all is almost like time traveling back to the feelings that I was experiencing that particular month. It is a pretty cool experience, but, an exhausting one at the same time. After perusing through my catalog of downtempo, chillout, bossas/ sambas, and lounge tunes from the past year, I chose my favorites from each episode... my "first picks." Those first picks totaled two and a half hours of music! Needless to say, it was a long, heart-wrenching night last night taking two and half hours of music and choosing the best of the best for a show that is under eighty minutes long. Creating a synopsis for a year of amazing music can be a very difficult job, but I hammered through it. :) So without further ado, here are the Best of 2008... 01. Trifonic- Sooner Or Later 02. Joash- Salome 03. Pretz- Chapel Stile 04. Oceanlab- On The Beach 05. Musetta- Nicotine 06. The Apples- Lou-e-zee-yanaa 07. Jamie Lidell- Little Bit Of Feel Good (Senor Coconut Mix) 08. Jamie Cullum- Frontin' (Live) 09. Sunshine State- Day Job (Alister Johnson Remix) 10. Malena- Fried Samba 11. Paul Desmond- The Girl From East 9th Street 12. Rosalia De Souza- Bossa 31 (performed by Gerardo Frisina) 13. Poncho Sanchez- Watermelon Man (Dan The Automator Remix) 14. Third Day- Show Me Your Glory (Worldwide Groove Corporation Remix) 15. Matsi- Free Every one of the artists in this month's podcast are absolutely amazing. I encourage you to seek them out, learn about them, listen to their music, and support them by purchasing their music. In addition, I would like to highlight a couple of my absolute favorite artists of 2008... If I had to pick one artist that truly left me captivated this year, it would have to be Senor Coconut And His Orchestra. What can I say about Senor Coconut? (UUUH... AAAAAAH!) He is writing, arranging, and remixing music the EXACT way that I like. I am hard pressed to find a song in his catalog that I do not like. (BLEEEEEE!) It's an amazing mix of latin influenced music such as mambo, samba, and cha-cha with an electronic undertone... a mixture of live music with a big-band flare, and machine. (HUUUUUH!) Seek out Senor Coconut And His Orchestra, if you are lucky enough to live in a country in which they tour, go to a show (I sure wish that I could,) and buy every bit of this music that you can! By the way, if you have no idea what the stuff in parentheses littering the paragraph above means, well, then you obviously have not familiarized yourself with Senor Coconut's music. Get to work! :) Another group worthy of special note is the Worldwide Groove Corporation. This is the second year that their music has made it on to my "Best of" show. Their remix of Third Day's "Show Me You Glory" flat out left me awestruck! I have literally listened to this song hundreds of times and to this day, I still get chills up and down my spine. In my opinion, "Worldwide Groove Corporation" is synonymous with "quality production" and I look forward to continuing to build my own library with their music. Worldwide Groove Corp recently started a remix project of Chillodesiac Lounge, vol. 1: FEVER (one of my album picks from last year) in which they have invited DJ's to remix their work. I am definitely looking forward to checking that out. I'd like to list some honorable mentions as well. Here are some of the artists that made my "first picks" but unfortunately had to be cut from the Best of 2008 podcast due to time constraints... The Bamboos, Pilooski, Saravah Soul, Stereo Action Unlimited, Bebo Best and The Super lounge Orchestra, Samantha James, Soulphonic Soundsystem, and the Fort Knox Five. <

Bossa Chola 2008 11-11-08

It has been more than a year since the original "Bossa Chola" episode and I am pleased to say that I have finally created a sequel to one of my most highly regarded episodes. I was very happy to see a huge selection of Bossas, both new and old, available on just about every major MP3 outlet online. This is quite a change from the last time I decided to put together a show dedicated entirely to bossanova which required a huge ammount of time digging through old cd's and compilations. November 2008 brings you another installation of smooth bossanova and samba with a twist of lime. This podcast is a mixture of classics as well as neuvo bossa nova that is sure to completely mellow you out. If I had to personify lounge music with one style, it would definitely be with Bossa Nova. This is a perfect mix to play while enjoying your favorite martini with friends. Be sure to tune in next month for the "Best of 2008" episode. I can't believe it is already that time of year! Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Rosalia De Souza- Bossa 31 (performed By Gerardo Frisina) 02. Bossa Nova Scratch- Senhorinha 03. Marcos Valle- Nova Bossa Nova 04. Formation Soul- Bossa Sun Groove (Dj Rocco) 05. Marchio Bossa- No Bossa No Party 06. Paul Desmond- The Girl From East 9th Street 07. Cannonball Adderley And The Bossa Rio Sextet- Groovy Samba 08. Lisa Wahlandt & Mulo Francel- Recado Bossa Nova 09. Yanagisawa Akiko- My cross 10. Clara Moreno- Slow Motion Bossa Nova 11. Ray Barretto- Work Song (Thievery Corporation Rmx) 12. Los Zafiros- Bossa Cubana 13. Nouvelle- Decidete Mi Amor 14. Charlie Byrd- Wave (Mario C.

Happy Hour For The Soul 10-02-08
10/3/2008 | Download File (60.28 MB) - right click to download
Sour... yea, the last month has left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for so many positive things in my life that overall, I feel pretty good. However, the loss of an old friend and two family friends this month has been a little overwhelming. That being said, I heard a lyric in a song in this month's downtempo podcast that yanked me right out my melancholy madness. To quote Matsi... "my cup isn't half full, it's overflowing." I think that is the perfect way to look at life. No matter how tough things might be for you at the moment, I think that it is important to look around you and see all of the wonderful things that you DO have and, to thank God for each and every one of them. I think a lot of us have been overwhelmed by the darkness that tends to make its way in to our lives from time to time. As Americans, every time we turn on the TV lately, we seem to be reminded of it. A scary economy, a wild election year, loss of jobs, bad weather...WHATEVER... it seems to be everywhere. In this month's downtempo podcast, I have really worked to put together a show with songs that just put a smile on my face... I hope it does the same for each of you. Take some time this weekend, say a prayer for someone that needs it, do something nice for a complete stranger, snuggle with the one that you love most (it's SO good for the soul,) read a book, take a nap, pour a drink, listen to some positive music, and hang out with friends and family. Enjoy a "Happy Hour for the Soul," be happy, and remember, from darkness... comes light. This month's podcast is dedicated to Christopher "Casper" Venuti and the friends and family he leaves behind.

Hello everyone, I have a very exciting Special Guest Mix this month for your listening pleasure. Chris Lindsey from Slackline Radio was nice enough to put together a fantastic mix for the "Chill with the Chola" podcast entitled "Urban Sensibility". The mix is chock full of tasty hip hop influenced, "urban downtempo," and is almost a full hour of relaxing bliss. If you are not familiar with Slackline Radio, well, then you have not been doing your downtempo homework now have you? :) Slackline Radio is an online radio station broadcasting all things downtempo from Anchorage, Alaska. Streaming music is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, so, you can get your downtempo fix any time that you feel the need. I visit this site almost daily and tune in for hours at a time. It is a perfect place to find new artists in the genres that I love so much. On top of owning and operating an online radio station, Chris is also a contributing writer for Properly Chilled where he writes record reviews. If you are a downtempo artist, do yourself a favor and contact Chris. He is a super friendly guy who really loves the downtempo scene, and, he is respected the world over for his taste and opinion. If you are a "downtempo connoisseur," definitely check out Slackline Radio... you will not regret it!

Soooo, this month I decided to put together a nice, relaxing, downtempo podcast featuring some fantastic new chillout tunes and artists. I have found myself a little on edge the last 3-4 weeks because I am in the middle of Hurricane Central (Florida.) I really needed some music to chill out too! :) I started digging for music for this episode weeks ago and found a TON of chillout, downtempo, ambient, trip hop, acid jazz, etc. I played around with the set quite a bit and it was tough to scale down the episode to a manageable 70 minutes. If you are "in the know" than you may have already grabbed the extended mix of this month's podcast. If you have not found the extended mix, and would like to, head over to the show's Myspace page, read the BLOG, and grab the link. I hope this month's episode leaves you feeling as chilled out as it left me. Enjoy! Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Trifonic- Parks On Fire 02. Amun- Red Eyes 03. Dousk- Anagram 04. Urban Myth Club- Breathe 05. DJ Nyk- Amber 06. Bedroom Lullaby- Kisses In The Rain 07. Dezarate- La Noche 08. Oceanlab- On The Beach 09. Chillwalker- Blue 10. Carpatica- Space 11. Blackfish- Delta 12. Pretz- Chapel Stile 13.

Well I am back after taking a month off from the podcast and have decided to post August's podcast a few days early. Thanks again to Datapusher for covering me last month. This month's downtempo podcast was inspired in part by my girlfriend's upcoming move to downtown Orlando. She found a killer deal on a "deluxe apartment in the sky," and, she is looking forward to being in the heart of the city. I must say that I am pretty excited too! It will be fun to get reacquainted with the city after living in the burbs for so long. There is so much more to Orlando than "a mouse." I am looking forward to seeking out some of the great food, music, and atmosphere that this city has to offer. It has been too long. This episode starts off with a couple of "trip hop" tunes and quickly gives way to some stylish chillout, samba, and bossanova... ah yes, the bossas are back! Enjoy. :) Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Peter Bjorn & John- Young Folks 02. Trifonic- Sooner Or Later 03. Airstream One- Southern Light 04. Lenny Mac Dowell- Lauch Control 05. Bebo Best & The Super Lounge Orchestra- D'Jazzonga 06. Breakout- Planet Rock (Part 1) 07. Brazilian Love Affair Project- Aquas De Marco 08. Blackfish- Pacific Harbour 09. Malena- Fried Samba 10. Dios y Patria- Un Sueno Cumplido 11. Moca- Lounge Lizard 12. Joao Battista- Chega de Saudade 13. Stereo Action Unlimited- Lovelight 14. Jazzamor - Don't Think Twice (It's All Right) This Podcast is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License to support the interests of the original featured artists.

SPECIAL GUEST MIX: Datapusher- Dubventure II 070208
7/1/2008 | Download File (59.50 MB) - right click to download
Well it looks like Datapusher over at Trans:verse Records must have enjoyed slowing down the tempo on his decks for the "Chill With The Chola" podcast because he has sent over a sequel to his Dubventure downtempo mix! This works out perfect for me because I would have really been pushing things to try to get a new podcast out by the ninth. Keep your eyes open for a set mid month by "yours truly," I will try my best to deliver one to you. If not, I will see you next month. ;) This month's downtempo podcast is the second installment of Datapusher's wildly popular "Dubventure." There was a huge response to the first episode and I am glad that Datapusher has decided to put together another mix for us. It is another hard-hitting, IDM/ Electronica, bass heavy, intelligent-glitch experiment in to the world below 130bpm's.When I asked Datapusher to explain what he was shooting for with this set, he responded..."I was shooting with a '12 gauge pump action' for bass heavy, mid tempo breaks tracks, bridging the gap between downtempo and bassline style breaks." Well, I would say that he has certainly accomplished that!This set reminds me of those "eyes-half-opened" after-parties spent in dark dens after a full night of clubbing. It is a moody journey in to the sofa surfing universe.Somewhere between full blown breaks or house music, and, what we might consider "downtempo," there is an extremely intelligent sub-genre of music created almost exclusively for "the transition." This music is not quite the club music that you were dancing to earlier in the evening, or, the more acoustic sub-genres of downtempo/ chillout that you want to enjoy when you awake, have a beer, and start that BBQ on a Sunday. However, it certainly serves a distinct purpose and there are some amazing artists working in this realm.This is a sub-genre of downtempo music that I hardly touch these days. Datapusher can still rock the dance floors, I stick to playing sets for the couches, dinners, and bedrooms. :) Datapusher starts his set off with an extremely "busy" set of tracks and slowly moves you towards a calmer place. When the set ends, the stereo almost begs you to wake up, put on some bossa, nujazz, or funk, and, get that BBQ started. Great job Datapusher! Enjoy,Chola Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Vibesquad - Dome Piece 02. Manitee Club - Someday (Lawgiverz Remix) 03.Vibesquad - Kaleidoscone 04. Dr. Toast - Logico 05. Mauxuam - Ulezak Snakebite 06. Good Budha - Party Reserve (Tipper Remix) 07. Amb - Theory 08. Heyoka - Glibidy Glob 09. Tipper - Noise Cannon 10. Next Level - Losted Self Purpose 11. Kilowatts - D
