thanks to everyone who came out to the Ladytron afterparty. Datarock were great fun in the DJ booth, and Ladytron were kind enough to hang out with us and meet their fans. thanks guys!

Changing the name from "Electrocast" to "FTPA podcast" due to the
"electro" part of the name being potentially misleading. I know a lot of electro purists get a big bickering over nomenclature, so i'd rather not add fuel to their fire for when i decide to play more indie stuff, like in this mix.

Cut Copy- Lights and Music

Young Punx- You've Got To (Norman Cook remix)

speaking of fun...we've got Datarock coming up soon!

as for this week's set, i just decided to throw out some *non-mixed* tracks that i just couldn't squeeze into my past 10 sets. they're some of my favorite songs and i just wanted to get them online. i'll return a week from Sunday with a new, live mix.
