Ep. 5: Listen to What the DJ's Spinning

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my fifth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Listen to What the DJ's Spinning," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter D.

In my Title Track, I sneak my way on topic by a deep cut from Deee-Lite, "ESP" with the line: "Listen to What the DJ's Spinning." I chat with my friend Drew Brady, a DJ in Denver who has produced hours of ambient music, available on Apple Music and Band Camp. I chat with him about his background, his influences and what drives him in his creation. I was even able to share some of his original work, which he shared in a video on his Facebook page. Drew has a performance scheduled at the Wax Trax record shop in Denver in July, and you can check out his other work on his Brother Saturn Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@BrotherSaturn

I also mention ambient soundcraft put together by my friend Leonard Mason including GhostLodgeMusic's "Glacier" (1-hour) at https://youtu.be/uOzvjgmkn3Y and GhostLodgeMusic's "Glacier" (12-hour) at https://youtu.be/AE0-5C3Yo4o

For Influences, artists with entire LPs in my collection, I talk about Deep Purple's "House of Blue Light," Dorthy Fix "Yourself" with a Dorthy Fix YouTube playlist at https://bit.ly/3M20e6Y and the Abandoned Scout Camp Soundcloud listing with Dorthy Fix tracks at https://bit.ly/3Bo0kAM. While talking about the Dandy Warhols "Come Down," I mention my friend Aunt Arlene's fanvid for the Scissors Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" at https://youtu.be/XBM8-NHcVTs, check that out. Plus, Duran Duran -- I'm looking for helpful suggestions for alternate titles for their "Greatest" LP, send to [email protected] -- closing the segment with Dido's "No Angel."

In Lost Tracks, I reacquired four songs from Dolly Parton along with the new release from her "Rockstar" LP, "World on Fire." I just bought Duran Duran's "Greatest," The Dandy Warhols "Come Down" and "We Used to Be Friends." I got Hall & Oates "Maneater" and Debbie Gibson's "Foolish Beat." Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man," Duffy's "Mercy," Dixie Cups "Iko Iko" and Dr. Hook's "Cover of the Rolling Stone." Also, Destiny Child's "Bootylicious," and songs by Death Cab for Cutie and the Decemberists.

In my Breakouts segment, bands with multiple tracks in my collection, I celebrate the de-groovy and de-gorgeous energies of Deee-Lite, grateful for the sneaky backdoor title track from their "ESP" entry and its ties to Edgar Allen Poe, as well as their "What Is Love" single and of course, "Groove is in the Heart." I get after Dolly Parton some for both-sidesing and vaguebooking her message in "World on Fire," available at https://youtu.be/MLIGxNZeW78. Plus, songs by the Dave Matthews Band, Def Leppard, Dokken and Dio.

In Sparks, songs by DISL Automatic -- that work available at DISL Automatic official site: https://getbigonem.com/, Disturbed, Detroit Cobras, Dokken (they fit better to talk about up there but actually go here), Dryadia, Dia Frampton, Dusty Springfield, Donna Summer, Doxology, David Lee Roth, Dullen and Dwayne Johnson.
