You may have always wanted to do it, to be on the radio spinning your favorite tunes for the masses. You may have made mix-tapes for people, introducing yourself, introducing the things you think are important.
Music has been a powerful force in your life, your mood, your evolution and your art.
This thread is slightly different from “I am Music,” in that I encourage you to create a “set,” not just share a song or two. Create a series of at least three to five songs, a collection that you believe has a common theme.
Communicate an idea, set an atmosphere, paint a portrait, discuss a mood, examine a particular artist or musical style, introduce a concept, visit a space. Talk about what's happening to you now; create a world for someone else to live in for a while.
Ideally, you'll frame it for writers, so that it can be a tool for those who want to focus on craft in new ways. 'Here is music for writing angry scenes,' or 'Here is music to fuck to so you can write about it later,' or 'Here are what five musicians have to say about a particular topic.' You get the idea.
I'm going to move the various episodes of Radio Free Jezebel that I have already posted over to this thread. Perhaps they will inspire ideas. You don't have to use the title "Radio Free Jezebel" for your episodes. Perhaps it's "Songs to Lose Your Virginity By" or "Radio Acid Flashback" or "The Kick Ass and Take Names Hour." Whatever.
Hey Mistah, Hey Mistah DJ , tell me if you love me, and turn the music up.
have fun,
