The debut blog post here on Jodyride will be a playlist. This will be a music and music related blog. The following playlist is from a DJ set I did at the Lava Lounge, a delightful bar in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. Belltown used to be a wonderful neighborhood to drink in but due to the increase of condos in the last ten years, there are precious few watering holes that offer good music, good atmosphere and good drinks. The Lava Lounge has remained one of the finest bars in Belltown and offers live DJ's seven nights a week. The following is a Monday night set with a decided theme of "psychedelia". I normally spin on Friday nights and I saw a substitute Monday shift as a good time to experiment with this format that I hope to eventually bring to the airwaves in Seattle. There has been a huge trend in recent years of reissuing obscure records from the golden age of psych rock (66-74 roughly). These records are often expensive and unknown. There's interest in them but no represntation of them in retail stores or on the radio. It is my goal to one day have a show where these lost nuggets will be played for the record collecting public, as well as classic works that fit into the mix. More on this dream to come. For now, check out the list and tell me if you would enjoy a radio program of this nature.

As you can see, it's a mix of familiar and unfamiliar artists under the broad title of psychedelia. The set did not go over too well but this type of music is much more suitable for smoking pot at home, not drinking in a bar. That is why I hope to take these ideas to the radio.
Keep on truckin'
