It's been far too long since Some Kind of Jam was part of the podcast community, but fret not friends, that time has come to an end! It's still slightly unpolished, but the important thing is it's up and running. There are no liners, promos or anything of the sort in this edition, but those be added in the future to remind all y'all about the
Facebook and
Twitter; don't worry, they'll be short and hopefully something you'll at least get a chuckle out of.
Also, as of this moment, Some Kind of Jam has gone sans voice overs of any kind. I've debated doing an intro of sorts and read backs for each set so you know what you're listening to, but now that this is exclusively a podcast the playlists are online all over the place and in the future will be included in the individual episodes in iTunes. If you feel you're missing the read backs, concert info and short quips about the artists please feel free to send me an email at
DJPretentious@SomeKindofJam.com. I do miss the interviews and in-studio performances, but there are wheels in motion to potentially alleviate both of those problems. Stay tuned for more info on all that jazz.
Now, about this first episode. Pressure can be felt when something's starting brand new, but luckily this show ain't new. So, I tried to pick some of my favorites (while saving even more for later episodes) to create a varied mix and match playlist to get back to what I felt made this show great when it was on air. This first episode has more than its fair share of artists you may recognize, which is something that won't necessarily be the trend ongoing, but the big guns had to be brought out right off the bat. If you hear something you like please visit that artists page and check em out in more detail... that's what them there links be for.
With no further ado, the playlist for Some Kind of Jam's first(ish) podcast:
Artist / Track / Album
3.
Konono Nº1 / Nsimba & Nzuzi / Live At Couleur Café
15.
