so jondi and i have been doing a monthly radio show for a little over 2 years. it's called "jondi & spesh present loöq radio", and the show's motto is "dance music for rock stars". that means you, rock star.
the show is also our forum for shining our modestly sized spot light on the tracks that we think rock, and of course to provide*you* with an hour of new music that you'll love. after airing the show on various internet outlets for the 1st two years, we've just begun to podcast it as well, so the world may yet see much more our monthly installment of rockin tunes.
in addition to making us rich and globally famous, producing the show itself is a labor of love. how much labor you ask? lots. tracks of all kinds are constantly flowing into loöq towers as well as into our personal email inboxes. and to find the good ones, i mean the *really* good ones, they all need to be listened to. this is indeed a lot of labor. so much labor, in fact that it can be a drag, especially when all you want to do is get down to business and be a dj (my way around the drag element was to actually hire personal assistant to listen to all this incoming music, weed out the bad and flag all the good. no shit.).
the point is that we're screening all these tracks for you so that month after month we can be reasonably confident that we are presenting you with a show full of tunes that you'll love...

...which got us to thinking...

..."what if some of our more casual listeners, a few of the bedroom djs, all of you average joe music fans, and even some of you would be trainspotters didn't have us around to screen all that music for you?".

there is, after all, a frightening amount of BAD MUSIC out there. god awful stuff like boring progressive, giddyup galloping eurotrance, oppressively dark tribal and hundreds and hundreds of tracks with bad vocals. and that's just the tip of the iceberg. some tracks sound good at first, then the bad parts come in. then there are the tracks you find yourself actually wanting to like, but realize in the cold sober blinking lights of the dancefloor that they contain some cliche such as "pots and pans percussion", "escaping gas sounds", "low voice guy vocals", or "horribly long breakdowns that go nowhere" all of which must be avoided at all costs.

which got us to thinking...

..."maybe we should produce a radio segment highlighting some of these typical track flaws so our listeners will learn to be able to fend for themselves when we're not around picking tracks for them?"

viola. lister, brace yourself for the arrival of

"TOTAL POO",

a short, educational podcast produced and hosted by jondi & spesh that will not only highlight some of the worst tracks we can find, but tell you exactly why they're bad. we're not trying to bag on large segments of dance music or genres we don't care for or anything. we're just out to highlight the stuff made by lazy producers and other unscrupulous types that don't care about you, the people that have to listen to the stuff. and we're hoping you'll get a nice chuckle out of it and learn something while your at it. and if the listenership of our original show, "loöq radio", drops off considerably after a few episodes of "total poo" have come out, we'll assume that we have make ourselves obsolete.
