Set 1: Psych, from quiet to acid. (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Stars Of The Lid | Madison (track 3) (Listen: Real) | Music For Nitrous Oxide | Sedimental | Slow, fairly quiet & peaceful, nice to play at a low volume. | |||
| Subarachnoid Space | Square Wheels (track 2) (Listen: Real) | Endless Renovation | Relapse | Quiet & vaguely spooky to start, then easy+ psych rock with a bit of spookiness underneath. | *** | ||
| Warlocks | Cosmic Letdown (track 5) (ended at -1:40) (Listen: Real) | Phoenix Album | Birdman | Kinda druggy & mysterious, builds and develops an edge, but still warm and highly sentimental. | *** | ||
| Ubzub | Red Spot (track 9) (Listen: Real) | Alien Manna For Sleeping Monkees | Electro Motive | Slow+, acidy, twisted, druggy, a bit robotic - not warm at all. | |||
| Gate | Prophet (track 4) and Rebel (track 5) (Listen: Real) | Golden | IMD | Really 1 long track. Serious, major acid. | *** | ||
| Ubzub | Ed Gein (track 5) (Listen: Real) | Alien Manna For Sleeping Monkees | Electro Motive | Twisted acid, a little experimental, it rocks - in their fashion. | *** | ||
| Randy Greif | Prizes! Prizes! (CD #2, track 2) (Listen: Real) | Alice In Wonderland | (unknown) | More serious acid - makes you feel the true mind-trip Alice is going through. It's rare that any interpretation really opens your doors of perception. This is one of them. | *** | ||
|
Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music for it: (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | |||
|
Set 2: Psych rock: louder, but safer than Set 1. (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| High Rise | Right On (track 4) (Listen: Real) | Psychobomb | PSF | The sound's a bit muddy, but the music is great, swirly, and long. | |||
| ST 37 | valentine alibi (track 11) (begun at -3:44) (Listen: Real) | Down On Us | Emperor Jones | The track itself is about 14 minutes in all, but uneven - so I just played the best part, which is fine, indeed. | |||
| Skywave | Ceremony (CD #1, track 11) (Listen: Real) | Don't Shoot The Piano Player: Live From WFMU | WFMU | Deep, but a little raw, strong psych rock. | |||
| Kinski | I Wouldn't Hurt A Fly (CD #1, track 2) (Listen: Real) | Don't Shoot The Piano Player: Live From WFMU | WFMU | Hymn-like, even mystical at moments. Also Glenn Branca-like. Also like the next piece in this set. | *** | ||
| Acid Mothers Temple | In E (track 2) (Listen: Real) | Live In Japan | acidmothers.com | Recorded live December 9, 2001. Steadily almost speeded up, glorious sound and feel. This piece also makes me think not just of Glenn Branca, but "Sabre Dance" as done by Love Sculpture. | *** | ||
|
Mic break between Sets 2 & 3. Background music for it: (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | |||
|
Set 3: mostly quiet. (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Tokyo 77 | Sings Do Not Use (track 2) (Listen: Real) | Tokyo 77 | Intone | Very quiet, fairly spare, piano, some very subduedly spaced sfx, reminds me of Morton Feldman in the later part of his life. It's not quite in Feldman's hauntingly spare dimension, but we've gone through the gate and are in the ballpark. | |||
| Magic Carpathians Project | Something You Can Hide In (track 1) (Listen: Real) | Water Dreams | Fly Music | Medieval feel at the beginning, resonant, then becomes sort of what I'd call reverbed renaissance rock, with the vocals starting to make me think of (good)Yoko Ono. | |||
| Stone Breath | solomon's song (track 4) (Listen: Real) | Lanterna Lucis Viriditatis | Dark Holler | ||||
| Farmers Market | Old Slow Melody (track 12) (Listen: Real) | Farmers Market | Winter & Winter | Bulgarian-influenced, even if the core of the group is Norwegian. Slow, melancholy. | |||
|
Mic break between Sets 3 & 4. Background music for it: (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | |||
|
Set 4: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Sam Spade | The Rushlight Diamond Caper | Originally broadcast July 4, 1948. | (none) | One of the best episodes. A dissolute and dissipated nephew who "has criminal tendencies and the mentality of a snail", a gigantic diamond, an arranged marriage, machinations over money - and murder. | *** | ||
|
Mic break between Sets 4 & 5. Background music for it: (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | |||
|
Set 5: sort of a mystically sentimental, accordion-based set. (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Biota | (no title) (track 24) (Listen: Real) | Object Holder | ReR | Warm, ambient, sentimental, but also dark. | *** | ||
| Gate | 39.26 (track 3) (Listen: Real) | The Lavender Head Vol. 3 | Precious Metal | Warm, sentimental, a little active - just a little too fast to be elegiacal. | *** | ||
| Miss Murgatroid | Ballad Of The Panatonic (track 4) (Listen: Real) | Myoclyonic Melodies | WIN | Solid, deep, even powerful. Makes me think of classical organ music. The more I listen to it, the more extraordinary I think this piece is. | *** | ||
|
Mic break between Sets 5 & 6. Background music for it: (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | |||
|
Set 6 (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Louis Armstrong & Earl Hines | Muggles (Side A, track 4) | The Louis Armstrong Story - Volume 3 | Columbia | Harry Potter fans: take note of the song title. Just a nice, easy-going piece of music. | *** | ||
