The Midas Touch

Wow, listening to this was so cool! I wasn't sure I was listening to the right one, until I heard you talk for about 3 minutes.

''Some of the french guys are jealous of the english guys,---pause--- but not because of their awesome skills, because they can reach so many listeners''... The stutter you had was funny.

Music was good as well.

Haha Jay thanks for tuning in, glad you liked some of the dialogs, and hopefully some of the music as well.

I felt that tonight was a particularly good night despite my illness (pun intended), and hopefully I'll be able to break new grounds, radio-wise, soon enough.

Thanks to everyone who listened, I very much appreciate at.

Playlist and Archived version coming up tomorrow for those of you who missed this live.

EDIT: Playlist and Archived version up!
DOWNLOAD it from the link provided in the blog, and enjoy. I appreciate all comments and support!

dude! nice press! wish I'd caught the show. I wish you were coming to GRASS!

Laroche · Post by **Laroche** » 21 Apr 2008 06:14

I wish I went to GRASS too! I'm sure it was a blast and I miss my footbag buddies quite a bit. Hopefully you guys'll hit Montreal for the Jam when it rolls around!

The show is, of course, going down today, so check that out when you can. I updated the blog with a couple things, minor but informative, I think.

I really really really need to get more listeners, I have a good base but really want to expand. Any advice or ideas you guys get will of course be appreciated, as well as lending me your ears for the hour and a half that the show is airing.

I downloaded the show and enjoyed it heaps!
I will definitely download it every week.

You should make it possible to get it as a podcast.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podca ... specs.html

I am now sharing a link to your blog on my del.icio.us and hopefully that will get you a few clicks.

I will tell the hiphop heads that I know about it and will try to get a couple of my rapping/beatmaking friends to submit something for you.
Some of them is pretty good.

Good luck.

Thanks Asmus, I appreciate you took the time to listen and help me get more material as well as promoting it on your blog!

I'm looking into Podcasts now, still unsure how I will implement it with the show, since I don't really have "direct access" mp3s, as downloads right now are through a semi-complicated webpage.

I'm a bit behind the times when it comes to this and am trying to catch up.

Laroche · Post by **Laroche** » 22 Apr 2008 06:00

So this went down last night, went well, considering no montrealers were listening due to the playoff fever (GO HABS GO).

Tracklisting and links will be up later today.

EDIT: It's all up! Check it out at http://www.themidastouchradio.blogspot.com

Blah podcasting is complicated. Still don't see the advantages over what I'm doing, but I'll keep digging. Got a couple things I wanted to say.

Firstus, wanted to mention I've been updating the blog, http://www.themidastouchradio.blogspot.com. I highly recommend checking out the sweet track I found that's the latest post in there, for those of you into lounge tracks.

Secondus, the show is going to be DOPE tomorrow, I got some really great tracks lined up.

Ka-Peace.

I have kept forgetting to tune it but today i have been listening for about 20 minutes and it is awesome. All the music has been amazing since i tuned in.

I'll try and remember to tune in from here on out.

edit: Thanks for the shout out haha.

Laroche · Post by **Laroche** » 28 Apr 2008 17:43

Thanks for listening, I had a blast broadcasting this week and I think it was a great show, if I do say so myself... quite varied music.

I'll upload the show and playlist probably tomorrow... I need to fix a couple things. There was a problem somewhere near the middle, but it's not a big problem because I can edit it out.

Though I hate technology, I love it. Ooof.

EDIT: It's all up! Cop it at the blog, http://www.themidastouchradio.blogspot.com

soft and meaningful
swift and a master

kare i may inform

artificial light

in the middle of the night
powered by
sleepin in the sunlight
in the day time
high as a kite
gettin strikes
from the lightning
soul electrified
as i lay here dying
off in to the sunrise

your eyes portrait
is like mine
our loves potent

what lifetime
i have left
i want to be by your side
until death

then together
we can go to whats next
a heaven
that we earn foreva
neva taken for granted
the good weatha
responsibility
protect the dream
from the greed
you and me makes we
plant the seed

help it grow
watch it go
straight forwards
propelled by emotional mortors

cut no corners

ive been all around
out and in doors

long ive searched
for the soul that is yours

long ive searched for the soul that is yours

Cool track, yeah I'll play that for sure... I love the beat, and the break in the middle is chill.

Really enjoyed that!

Great show man, shit. So my song sounded a little wierd is that because I don't know how to master yet? Damnit I guess I have to pull it together and read some tutorials on that shit! Also, just so you know, the artist name is Sam King track name Parallels and Timelessness. But, its all good. Dude, thanks so much for the exposure. I'm sure people were like, whoa what is this, its a little wierd.. but.. cool this white boys got some flavor.. lol Thanks again man. again and again and again. Ill send you more tracks when I got some better skillz.

-Sam King

super nice set, you really pick some very good hip-hop, which im rather picky about. do you spin vinyl? (not in the set, but in general)

Laroche · Post by **Laroche** » 06 May 2008 18:36

Thanks Sam. I'll fix the playlist in the blog. Do you have a music website I could link to?

Paula, glad you liked it! I'm picky too, there's lots of garbage out there, but theres some nice tracks as well, just takes some time to find them. I COULD technically spin vinyl, but I don't have enough records at home. So no. But things will change.... oh yes.
