Pop Rocks!: Episode 3.3
September 1st
I really like doing themed shows. Typically, they are the best and I have the most fun doing them. I like them because it's really hard (especially after doing this show for 8 months already, to put together two hours of music that isn't stuff I play all the time. Sure, one or two old favorites are allowed but for the most part, I want it to sound fresh! When I do themed shows, individual songs start piling up which is good. Another method I use is called putting my ipod on shuffle while I'm on campus. 80% of the time it is right on, and I get at least five-ten songs for my show on any given day. This show is comprised mostly of songs that I forgot I loved or songs by artists I really liked playing songs I hadn't heard before. And of course, some old standbys.
