UPDATE 9/29/2011: My playlists on CHIRP Radio will now be documented like so.

A lot of you have said to me, “Richard Paul, I need more music from comps4jenna more regularly.” To which I replied, “Alright, I’ll become a DJ for the new local independent radio station, CHIRP.” Then a lot of you said to me, “Richard Paul, how can I hear your radio show at a more convenient time?” And when I say “a lot of you” I mean none of you, actually. But, it is part of my job description to know what you’re all thinking.

Unfortunately, it would be illegal for me to post my shows online, but hopefully one day CHIRP will begin archiving shows. For now though, I will be posting my radio show playlist on comps4jenna the day that it happens and for every track that the artist or record label (or other reputable source) has posted on soundcloud/bandcamp possible, the stream will be provided next to the track on tumblr.

This first announcement fittingly coincides with my second announcement. I will be moving to the even less convenient Sundays 6am to 9am slot starting this weekend. To anyone booing right now, I sincerely apologize. CHIRP asked if any DJs would want to move to this slot and it just so happens that the move would more nicely mesh with my personal schedule (read: I like to get crunk on Friday nights).

Below is the first installment of my interactive CHIRP playlist recaps. Also, because I liked the show so much, I’ve retroactively posted the September 3 playlist below, as well. Oh yes, and if you are yet to do so, please “like” comps4jenna on facebook. You can increase your chances of catching my latest blog posts. Similarly, you can also follow me on twitter. Thank you for listening and I hope that I provide pleasing music for your ears.

Through the what seemed like bombardment of incredible good music yesterday (or maybe it was just the fact that I was listening to it in this great weather we’re having) one album announcement stood out above everything else. The Drift will be releasing their new album, Blue Hours, on October 4 via Temporary Residence, Ltd. and it sounds like this is gonna be a whopper. This album embodies the grieving process after the loss of the band’s trumpet player, Jeff Jacobs. From what I’ve heard so far, there seems to be a bit of anger but also a bit of light-heartedness, maybe honoring what Jeff would wish upon all of us. All-in-all though, it sounds like this could be heart-wrenching. The now trio have transformed their sound on this album to be slightly more loopy, and no doubt, meditative. The absence of Jeff’s trumpet is like an instrument in itself.

Friend of the band and film maker, Paul Clipson, created a music video for the album’s opening track, “Dark Passage.” Here’s that along with the mp3 of another track from Blue Hours entitled “Horizon” courtesy of TRL, where you can preorder the album now.
