Michael Calore: I think so.
Lauren Goode: Doillon. Yes. OKAY. Well, what’s your recommendation this week?
Michael Calore: My recommendation is Fault Radio, which is a non-profit organization here in the Bay Area that broadcasts DJ sets and live music sets by underground electronic music artists.
Lauren Goode: Is it called Fault because it’s on the fault?
Michael Calore: Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah.
Lauren Goode: It really is.
Michael Calore: We live in an active seismic zone here in San Francisco Bay.
Lauren Goode: Yes.
Michael Calore: They chose this to name their radio station. I specifically recommend the YouTube channel, which streams live. Each DJ set, or live set usually lasts around an hour, an hour and 15 minutes. It’s really interesting. They have people doing techno, drum and bass, acid house, weird avant-garde music.
It’s a mix of all kinds of electronic music genres, from artists all over the world. Not just Bay Area people, but of course highly rated by Bay Area people. If you watch YouTube streams, you can watch the video, which is just a person generally turning the knobs and dancing a bit. Or you can just leave it in an open tab and listen to it, which is what I do.
Yeah. I highly recommend it. They are also on SoundCloud and you can find their streams there. They post more on the YouTube channel, which is why I recommend the YouTube channel, but it’s a huge library of really great electronic music. Yeah. Check it out if you like dance-y stuff. I like working there.
Lauren Goode: Nice. Nice.
Michael Calore: I like to put it on while I work.
Lauren Goode: That sounds cool. I will have to listen to it. I don’t often listen to dance music while working. I like cooler stuff. But it looks like there is a wide range of genres on this channel.
Michael Calore: It works great for timelines, let me tell you.
Lauren Goode: Oh, is that a clue?
Michael Calore: Nope.
Lauren Goode: Very well. Very well. Well, let’s finish. I’m going to get back to writing.
Michael Calore: Yes Yes Yes. This is our show this week. Thank you all for listening. Lauren, thank you for being the guest of the week. It was a pleasure to welcome you.
Lauren Goode: Oh, Mike, thanks for being such a great host. It was really fun. We asked so many people to join us this week and everyone was busy so we were like, “You know what? We become thugs.
Michael Calore: Yes.
Lauren Goode: It was great.
Michael Calore: Yes, we will do it more often.
Lauren Goode: We should.
