The first Hot Music For Cheap Hotels aired on 9/29/2006 in Seattle. At the time I was on my 4th episode of the broadcast on libsyn, and wasn't planning on recycling any names or creating repeating shows. Hell, I thought back then, that I was just going to do 20 episodes and call it a day. ..
..but look where we are at, right? 258 Episodes later, and I'm finally at the anniversary set, 5 years and 3 months later in Los Angeles. The episode name came from the photo, which I had taken when living out in San Francisco. It was one of my favorite photos in this photography series I was doing about the city. This was a photo of the run down Civic Center Hotel (hourly to weekly rentals) on Market, just next to Van Ness in the heart of the city. The neon had broken so hotel had set 'hot' instead in warm lighting, and thought it was a perfect photo somewhat indicating the business that went around that area. I used that photo for the show and decided the name then and there.
Much like all anniversary sets, I'll be doing a two part session going over the episodes over the year. The 2nd set should air around Sunday. These sets are over an hour long, and ARE packed with my favorite sultry tracks, so prepare to enjoy this hot and bothered set, and please feel free to use this to get it on to (ha!) Enjoy.
