The Last Fat Beat Diet – Audio from September 15, 2017

Tears

After laughter comes tears… Me, during pretty much the whole show…

I’ve kind of been avoiding writing this one up because my general modus operandi is to stuff my feelings deep down and never let them see the light of day, so the fact that they were on display for everyone to hear here made this show that much tougher for me.

Troof right there… I was a blubbering fool for most of the show. So for everybody’s sake, I’ve edited out most of all spoken bits out of this mix, because I actually really really like the mix here, especially in the context of a last show.

If you’re curious, you can probably check out the archives on cjsw.com (no, don’t. really…). The mix here is a nice mix of goodbye, I don’t want to leave, i’m leaving, and breakup songs. Then some love and gratitude songs. I’m very happy with how it turned out, and especially happy I didn’t short out the mixer with salty tears.

Good Times – A bonus mix

As I was starting to get the word out that my last show was going to be the 15th, Crooka, usual host of Fade to Bass asked if I’d want to fill in for him that day seeing as he was going to be at FozzyFest. More radio? Yes, please! Although shortly after I accepted, it dawned on me that it would be kind of dorky if I had my last show, said all my goodbyes and then was all, oh, btw, I’m still here for an hour… So instead, I pre-recorded a mix to play during that hour.

Kicking it all off is of course Chic’s Good Times, which is such an incredible track, and has just the right amount of melancholy and dancefloor mojo to be the perfect lead off. Then, the mix goes a little all over the place, although ending in pretty standard house music territory (It was a fill for Fade to Bass after all…).

This is the first mix I recorded with a new piece of gear, and I managed to leave some effects going for a bit too long in not one but two mixes, but it sort of added to the whole thing, so I ain’t too mad. Nuff chat, here it is.

The Last Fat Beat Diet

Sadly, my time on air at CJSW is drawing to a close. I’m moving away from Calgary so I’ll no longer be able to host the Fat Beat Diet. I’m incredibly thankful to have been invited into your homes, cars, and wherever else you listen to CJSW over the last 17 or so years or so. Join me one last time as I celebrate my time on air with you.

My LAST SHOW on CJSW will be Friday, September 15th.

Leading up to this are a couple of special themed episodes:

If you’re really heartbroken about the end of the show, I suggest you keep an eye on this blog. I suspect there will be some interesting development in the not too distant future for those that want to tune in online…
