The Milkshake Daddy a.k.a. Milkshake Daddy

Milkshake Daddy is a band that has been around since the mid-1990s. The sound of Milkshake Daddy is a mixture of ambient, electronica, avant garde, funk, rock and 1970s TV soundtrack. The name is a vestige of the band's hip hop roots -- I was watching the movie Dolemite when I named it. The band becomes The Milkshake Daddy (instead of just Milkshake Daddy) when it's recording or playing a concept album.

NPR Seque

Sometime in the late 90s or early 00s and friend and I were discussing the music used for music beds or segues for National Public Radio — usually mellow, sometimes exotic, but fairly predicable. Inspired, I grabbed my keyboard and knocked out a dozen or so “NPR segues” and posted them on MP3.com. They were also heavily influenced by music from pharmaceutical commercials.

I actually sent them to NPR. Not sure if they actually used or played them.
