I had 5 total minutes to talk this show, so I just talked over and in between most of the songs. Hey, you gotta know what you’re listening to, right? I gotta get in there and tell ya. The idea for this show started as a “best of,” but there were enough new things I wanted to get in that it just went like a good, regular show. Hope you enjoy it.

Debuting some old Ear Pwr for a happily married couple, among other things. Not too much else goin’ on this show… next one, atomic explosions, at least.
I’m considering only posting the good shows after this… thoughts?

Marissa returned quietly this week because I didn’t feel like getting a boomtastic dance show together for her. I probably won’t next week either. We had a call from Kevin Phillips too, but we didn’t put it on air. He’s good. Better than you. That was harsh, I’m sorry.

For me, personally, Daniel Merriweather’s about six months late releasing this album. It’s not that the album is bad or out of date, but the topics of songs like “Red” and “Giving Everything Away for Free” would have been completely appropriate in my life then.

Daniel Merriweather - Red
Love & War, and don’t shout at me for this, feels like an old Stevie Wonder record. I’m not saying Dan’s gonna be the next Stevie Wonder, but the range and potential are there. Like Wonder’s old albums, we get a dose of activism, a serving of love songs, and some good lovelorn songs. Musically the record is a perfect debut, showing catchy pop, hip-hop infusion, and straight guitar balladry. The man’s got talent and that’s what a debut should demonstrate. His lyrics might sound simple, but it’s that simplicity that makes things universal. You might know bigger words, but you can relate to smaller ones as long as they’re the right ones. Dan’s got the right ones.
I’m interested to see where this album will go in the US, but it’s already a staple for me. I’ve been hooked on the tracks trickling out for the past few months and now I can enjoy them in a fantastic context. Some people may shy from the record because R&B still isn’t cool, but this shade of it is. Listen for yourself.

Another Pete-only show this week, and it was personal. Instead of playing things I think people who might be listening may like (it’s a very solid ground I build on), I decided to play all songs I wanted to hear. I even let a request sneak in (though it did take me an hour to finally get it on the air). I also pushed Marissa’s upcoming show and rocked my face off. Hopefully you can do the same, ya know, if you wanna rock your face off. And there’s a tracklist after the jump! Whoa.

I was flying solo for this show, but I still managed to get things slightly excited by pretending people were with me by way of belated birthday wishes for Alisha Turull and Michal Lynn Vilushis. If you just wanted to skip the delicious nectar of hour 1 and go right for the birthday, seek to about 68 minutes in. I have the tracklist at home. Hopefully I post it later.

Kevin came back. Jenna came too. Marissa came really late.
I stayed for the whole thing, except when I left to go to the bathroom and a song ended. My family panicked, but everything turned out alright. Just keep listening through the dead air somewhere in the middle. It’s Phillips Family Fun Dead.

The Kevin Phillips Farewell show is next week, but he was manning the computer this week (no electronic paper-doll dressing). Reppin’ for the ladies (what?!) was Jenna Phillips. Extreme joy came in the form of Andrew WK, The Streets, and (for me) Tapedeck remixes. Listen for yourself and get a little joy goin’ on:

Okay, I’m fully embarrassed that I haven’t blogged in so long. It looks like all this is is the Phillips Family Fun Time blog, but it’s not– I promise! With that said, here’s last week’s show!

At the start, I was worried. After a slow start we finally got some people to take some cupcakes. Most people wanted to know why we were giving away cupcakes and we really had no reason, which made people more suspicious. In the end, it was a success with only 5 or so left (plus the additional private stash we made). As one guy said, “Man, I just passed by and thought, ‘Dude, those cupcakes look delicious,’ then he starts pointing at me and I saw the sign.” Everyone who got a cupcake was satisfied, which is the important part. And only one girl with a side-ponytail wussed out and got someone to come in and get one for her. Thanks to everyone who supported us, especially the girl who doesn’t want to sugar up the homeless.

I'm just plain ol' Pete Phillips. I used to run a full-fledged website with humorous, made-up stories. This is my third blog, which hopefully won't disappear due to technical complications like the past ones. I live in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and sometimes that's okay.
