since the list seems to have been dead many probably missed the following
>> Tomorrow (Monday the 6th) on KZSU, 90.1 FM from 7 AM until 11:40 PM
>> Pacific time we are going to try and play 1000 songs in 1000 minutes. Or
>> something like that.
>>
>>PSS for the geeks among you. I currently have planned 185 tracks that
>>total 7934 seconds (132 minutes) that i'm splitting between my two slots.
the final totals?
time: 7 AM - 11:42 PM (1002 minutes)
unique tracks: 1068
unique artists: 862
unique albums: 953
unique labels: 625
shredding like no other

PS To make this more relevant (though I find it interesting, as a DJ, the
shorter the song gets the more like sample art it seems), here are some of
the relevant artists I played, Faust, Coil, Cassetboy, Bob's Media Ecology,
Big City Orchestra, Head and Leg, Dummy Run, CC Nova, People Like Us,
Porest, Some More Crime, The Tape-Beatles, Vampire Rodents, Negativland, DJ
Shadow, and Emcee Dubya vs DJs of Mass Destruction....umm I played all
those artists in less than 15 minutes :)
PSS Surprisingly little grindcore was played
PSSS A full day long playlist can be found here.
http://kzsu.stanford.edu/~dollarb/shortsongs.htm 1104 songs from 7 AM-
11:42 PM.....hmm..I *just* now did the math, I thought were were better at
not playing so many dupes.
PSSSS Next year I do speed first
PSSSSS A challenge was put out over the air, for a station to beat what we
just did. Next year we are going to try for 2000 songs in 1000 minutes!
