Radio Dupree 2013 Advent calendar: December 4

We searched for "radio" on a popular video streaming site and hit upon this:

[Window Number 4!]

Some of our favorite intros (420 to be exact) are in this mix we did for BBC Radio1 a while ago, and it is actually quite a good introduction to the rest of Radio Soulwax, as a lot of tracks that are featured in this hour will come back in later shows to follow. The animated sleeves illustrate the mix and give it a whole new dimension!

[UPDATE December 8: Hey! So what or who swallowed the content here? Link, video or whatever gone... If we'd kept any sort of list of what we blog each time we could've re-created the content, but as it is... Well, you'll have to settle for a bunch of Japanese celebrities + American movie actor Tommy Lee Jones singing a line each of the classic hit Sukiyaki/上を向いて歩こうmade famous by Kyu Sakamoto/坂本 九in 1961/1963.

Trivia: Apparently done to raise money after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Tommy has a house in Kyoto. At least that's what the Internet says...

OK. Let's see if this sticks behind Advent calendar window numer 3...]

Zappafest on Radio Dupree - in memory of Frank

It is now 20 years since Frank Zappa passed away. He died on December 4, 1993, only 52 years old. To commemorate Zappa's memory Radio Dupree is having a real Zappafest today. Our playlist is packjammed with familiar tunes as well as some really rare tracks. Enjoy!

Radio Dupree 2013 Advent calendar: December 1

And with the first of December we'd like to introduce our own Advent calendar not really sure what we'll find behind each "window", but there will be one a day until Christmas.

So... first out we'd like to tell a story of Christmas that involves some people opening a 15 000 square feet/1 400 square meter large record store. Yes, you read that right. A record store. In these days of online buying and listening how can anybody make reality of opening a store where you're supposed go to buy music on physical formats like ... er ... what is that silvery thing from the 1980's called? Yes, CD! And no small store at that.

Are we just making this up or ... could it be true? The answer is behind

[Window Number 1!]

Chart compiled by listeners voting
on the songs they hear on Radio Dupree 

Q: So what's weird and new with this month's chart?
A: No Zappa and no Steely Dan (including Fagen and Becker solo stuff) recordings present!

And the short but sweet eight titles long chart is one of the oddest in Radio Dupree history. The mix. See for yourself. And thanks to all who voted up and/or down favourites helping us compile this.

A brand new one will be coming your way in 30 days.

Five minute clip from Donald Fagen book tour Q&A

It would be fun and interesting to see a complete Q&A from Donald's short book tour!

Zappa live in Helsinki 1973 available now

Road Tapes Venue #2 is here!

Zappa.com says "As you know these are the more primitive audio documentary attempts to capture the essence of life on the road." Well, over at the Radio Dupree staff we feel that we are happy to take that risk! Finally we get a full release featuring the Ponty band. That era has been even more of a missing link than the Lady Bianca band was until we got Philly '76.
