Add N To (X)  Take Me To Your Leader   Favoriting Loud Like Nature  Mute  2002  This song has always made me so happy! It's the equivalent of popping champagne bottles and rollin' astride a mechanical bull made of square waves and synth bloops. Add N to (X) are one of the most underrated bands out there. Ann Shenton now raises ponies in Northern England. Apparently she and her mates meet at the pub, sample cheese and have analog synth jams. That's living your best life, right there.    0:03:17 (Pop-up)
Stooges vs. Salt and Pepa  Push It Real Good   Favoriting As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt. 2  PIAS  2002  2 Many DJs aka Soulwax were the shiiiit in 2002. They mixed everything and anything. This is everything a party needs. I will never get tired of hearing this mashup, it is perfection. Plus, it wouldn't be a TEB without having a reference to our Papa Iggy.    0:07:39 (Pop-up)
Ramones  Let's Dance   Favoriting Ramones  Sire Records  1976  This is a cover of a 1962 song originally performed by Chris Motnez and written by Jim Lee. It was also covered by Sylvie Vartan, Tina Turner and David Bowie...but the Ramones truly do it justice.    0:10:29 (Pop-up)
Sonic Youth  Ça Plane Pour Moi   Favoriting Freedom Of Choice  Caroline  1992  This was an outtake from the Daydream Nation sessions. This all-covers comp was billed as New Wave Hits by Today's Stars"...and featured Mudhoney, Yo La Tengo, Redd Kross and other 90's heavy hitters. The original is a 1977 song by Plastic Bertrand, though its vocals were actually performed by Lou Deprijck, the record's producer and composer. "Jet Boy, Jet Girl", a song by Elton Motello, has the same backing track that was later used in "Ça plane pour moi".The song has been covered by many artists, though Plastic Bertrand's original recording was the most successful, reaching No. 8 on the UK charts in the summer of 1978. While mainly regarded as a punk song, Ça plane pour moi" has also been described as parody punk and as new wave. The song's name is a French idiomatic expression that is best translated as "everything's going well for me" (literally: "it is gliding for me").    0:11:53 (Pop-up)
Lenlow  The Roof Is On Fire   Favoriting Lenlow Mashups  N/A  2005  Lenlow is an internet mystery but he was a huge part of the mashup scene of the early 2000's possibly part of the Bootie SF scene? All I know is that I thought I was the only person who knew about Dog Ruff's Jon E Storm, which appears on the Northern Electronic Comp featuring Sheffield synth bands...but hearing that masterpiece mashed with the theme for Fiddler On the Goddamn Roof was...well...mindblowing. It is mindblowing. Fun Fact about FOTR...The original Broadway production yielded a profit of more than 352 per cent with 900 sell-out performances. Eventually becoming the first Broadway musical to hit more than 3,000 performances, Fiddler on the Roof was undeniably a surprise hit considering the show's troubled production history. Many producers rejected the script citing a story focused on a Jewish family in Czarist Russia as risky and not very profitable. They couldn't have been more wrong.    0:15:53 (Pop-up)
B-52’s  Party Out Of Bounds   Favoriting Wild Planet  Warner  1980  By 1980, The B-52s were regularly commuting between Athens and New York City, playing gigs at Max’s Kansas City, CBGB, and Club 57, while drawing devoted crowds for their legendary live shows. With some of the slickest guitar lines and funk rhythms in New Wave, Wild Planet is very much a party record. Like Blondie, The B-52s gave punks permission to move their feet, thanks to an inherently danceable punk-meets-Beach Blanket Bingo formula. The album opener, “Party Out Of Bounds,” kickstarts the shindig, with Wilson’s menacing guitar and Cindy and Kate’s tag-team harmonies. This album solidified the band as far, far more than a novelty act and while they still to this day don't get the full recognition they deserve, Wild Planet is a goddamn great, great record. Also Happy Birthday to Fred Schneider, who turned 71 last week! We love you, Fred!!    0:19:21 (Pop-up)

Souma Records 

2021 

Mehanna is a virtuoso keyboardist, composer, arranger and pioneer of the oriental synth who was by no means a stranger to those very same Golden Age musicians. He began as an accordion, organ and synth wizard in the illustrious orchestras backing the supreme Umm Kulthum, divas Warda and Fayza Ahmed, as well as the inimitable Abdel Halim Hafez, as part of the legendary troupe known as Al Firqa Al Masiya. Along with the visionary yet blind Ammar Al-Sheriyi, Mehanna was instrumental in the development of the oriental keyboard by experimenting with oscillators to play quarter tones – this paved the way for keyboards earning a permanent role in modern Egyptian music. Over the course of his career, Mehanna scored 93 films and 38 series, yet only published one full-length album (The Miracles of the Seven Dances), which was reissued by Radio Martiko in 2018 after a celestial discovery by one of its founders, Fred Kramer in a tiny record shop in Casablanca.

Parquet Courts, Danny Krivit  Wide Awake! - Danny Krivit Re-Edit   Favoriting Wide Awake! Remixes (EP)  Rough Trade  2018  "Parquet Courts’ A. Savage had this to say about the EP in a press release: “I like the spirit of the rock song remixed for the dance floor. Some of my favorite versions of rock songs, like The Units’ ‘High Pressure Days’ or the Happy Mondays’ ‘Kinky Afro’ are remixes. It can make the mood of a song completely change and allow you to approach it with fresh ears, even change the way you see the band.” // Danny Krivit, in the meantime, is a legendary New York DJ who grew up in Greenwich Village in the 60's. "His mother, an accomplished jazz singer and his father, the manager of legendary jazz trumpeter Chet Baker before going on to open up “The Ninth Circle”, a Village hot spot, where Danny worked as a boy. It was here that Danny met some of the most influential people in the music scene; Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Charlie Mingus, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, amongst others. His home was also a hotbed of musical inspiration, with The Mothers of Invention living down the hall, and Sid Bernstein (Manager of The Rascals) living upstairs, the rascals would regularly pop down to the Krivit household to practice their future hits on the piano. At school, a close friend and classmate was the son of Creed Taylor, the production genius behind many artists who recorded on the VERVE, C.T.I. & KUDA labels, and another close friend, legendary Nile Rogers, help Danny pick out his first guitar. By 1970, Danny was already a vinyl junkie & an amateur DJ, But DJ'ing as a profession wasn't fully realized until 1971, after another neighbor/friend of Danny’s (Vice President of Polydor Records) introduced Danny to one of his all time favorite artists - none other than the legendary James Brown, who gave Danny white-label advance promo copies of his “Get On The Good Foot” and “Think” by Lynn Collins. Around the same time, Danny started Djing & programming music for “The Ninth Circle” which by now had been transformed into a disco. Danny’s father opened his second club called “Ones” In 1975; Danny was their sole DJ through 1977. Danny’s list of DJ residencies steadily grew throughout the 70s and in 1979, after Djing at the opening of the Roxy; he became their main resident DJ for the next 4 years. In the early 80s the Roxy was the home of some of the best Hip hop DJs of the day like “D.S.T”, Grandmaster Flash, and Africa Bambaata. Danny's early embracing or scratch mixing, he earned the nickname Danny Rock. The 80s’ saw the beginning of Danny’s studio work. He worked on tracks featuring legends such as, James Brown - “Soul Power”, “Give it up and Turn it loose”, “Funky Drummer” (reputed to be the most sampled song in history!), Ecstasy, Passion & Pain - “Touch and Go”, Brenda and the Tabulations - “Let’s Go All the Way”, Gloria Gaynor - “Casanova Brown”, and what is probably THE most quintessential version of MFSB’s classic - "Love Is The Message". Danny’s talents and reputation have grown immensely and continues to do so, with demand for his DJing & editing work reaching new heights & exploding worldwide from North & South America to Europe & Japan, with his Producer/Editor/Mixer credits included on well over 1,000 tracks. Earning a status of “King Of The Re-edit” since the early 80’s, he’s been a major force in bringing attention & world acceptance to the art of editing, even spawning an onslaught of imitators. His vinyl record collection is now well over 80,000. He has also contributed to many historical films & literature such as: “Maestro”, “Love Saves The Day”, “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life”, & Mel Cheren’s “My Life & The Paradise Garage”, “Downtown Calling”, “All Hopped Up and Ready To Go”, "The Disco Files" include Danny Krivit as a legendary key player in the history of NY nightlife & Most definitely one of the very few people who can honestly say he’s consistently DJ’d in all the hottest clubs in NY & around the world for the past 50 years!"    0:30:46 (Pop-up)
Lizzy Mercier Descloux  Fire - Glenn Rivera Restructure Mutant Disco Edit   Favoriting Press Color  ZE Records  1979  This is a cover of an Arthur Brown song from his 1968 album "Crazy World of Arthur Brown." "Martine-Elisabeth "Lizzy" Mercier Descloux (16 December 1956 – 20 April 2004) was a French musician, singer-songwriter, composer, actress, writer and painter... With her partner Michel Esteban, she helped establish the store Harry Cover, temple of the punk movement in France, and the new wave magazine Rock News. She struck up friendships with Patti Smith and Richard Hell when visiting New York in 1975, and both contributed material to her first book, Desiderata. She and Esteban moved to New York in 1977, meeting Michael Zilkha, with whom Esteban formed ZE Records. With guitarist D.J. Barnes (Didier Esteban), Mercier Descloux formed the performance art duo Rosa Yemen, and recorded an eponymous mini-album for ZE Records in 1978. The following year, ZE released her solo debut LP Press Color. Self-taught as a guitarist, she expressed herself as a minimalist within the no wave genre, concentrating on single-note lines combined with wrong-note harmonies and funky rhythms." // As for this remix, it's from 2012 originally on the Ze Records "Various - 20 Mutant Disco Uptown Edits" release & later on 2015's expanded "Press Color Remixes & Edits" The remix artist for this track, Glenn George Rivera explains his process as follows: "I have taken several classics and rare selections to reedit and create what I call "ReStructure Mixes" - some are pieces of the original and others are edited remixes. Most of these cuts I have used the original LP or 12" mix - straying from another engineers remix. This is to maintain my own sound with the original recording. I hope you will enjoy them - please let me know by sending me an email at restructuremix@cox.net or let me know if there are any classics you would like me to perform a "ReStructure Mix" on!"    0:35:48 (Pop-up)
The Doll  Desire Me (Extended Version)   Favoriting Desire Me (Single)  Beggars Banquet  1979  London UK band from1977-80. This song was in the UK charts for 8 weeks at the beginning of 1979, peaking at #28 and landing them a Top of the Pops appearance. Marion Valentine fronted the band & penned the songs, and by one fan's account "they were indie label Beggars Banquets' answer to Blondie." After some lineup changes, they recorded one full length & then split up in 1980." "Jamie West-Oram later enjoyed success with alternative band The Fixx. / Denis Haines subsequently played keyboards with fellow Beggars Banquet Records artist Gary Numan. With other members of Numan's backing band he later formed Dramatis. // Christos Yanni (bass/vocals) joined The Shoppers, a post-punk band on the London scene."    0:42:45 (Pop-up)
Pony Da Look  Dancin'   Favoriting Shattered Dimensions  Murder Records  2008  Pony Da Look were from here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Band members were Temple Bates (composer/keyboards/vocals), Amy Bowles (lyrics/vocals/keyboards), Catherine Stockhausen (keyboards/ backing vocals) and Rebecca Mendoza (drums/backing vocals). They always put on excellent live shows with Amy Bowles giving very theatric performances of songs, with dark and mythical lyrics filled with rich imagery. This is one of their more straight-ahead lyrical songs, though it does mention sparks in torsos, bones that ignite, and feathers that grow painlessly. Mostly it asks about wanting to go dancing. Quick wiki summary: "Their music combined heavy drum beats, raw keyboard riffs and forceful vocals with unconventional lyrics... After Mendoza and Sloan's Chris Murphy celebrated the birth of their child in 2007, Pony Da Look signed to Sloan's label Murderecords and released Shattered Dimensions in 2008. Mendoza left the band and was replaced on drums by Rob Gordon. Pony Da Look continued to perform in the Toronto area until 2011. Bowles and Bates are painters who continue to exhibit regularly, Mendoza is a modern dancer and choreographer and Stockhausen is a TV producer and photographer. Bowles served as one of the inspirations for the character Envy in Scott Pilgrim v the World."    0:49:04 (Pop-up)

Dan Deacon  The Crystal Cat   Favoriting Spiderman Of The Rings  Carpark Records  2007  With comments from Producercat MeepMoop! Deacon is renowned for his live shows, where large-scale audience participation and interaction is often a major element of the performance. Since 2003, he has released five solo albums, including 2015's Gliss Riffer, released by Domino Records. His work as a film composer includes scoring the 2021 documentaries All Light, Everywhere and Ascension, both released as soundtrack albums by Milan Records, as well as Francis Ford Coppola's Twixt (with Osvaldo Golijov). His fifth solo studio album, titled Mystic Familiar, was released January 31, 2020 on Domino. Deacon collaborated with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall for an evening of performance and curation on January 17, 2019. The evening consisted of three sets: the orchestra presenting a selection of classic works co-curated by Deacon, including pieces by Erik Satie and Du Yun; a solo set by Deacon; and a collaborative set with Deacon and members of the orchestra playing expanded arrangements of Deacon's music. If you ever get the chance to see Dan Deacon live, DO NOT MISS IT! They are life affirming and incredibly, incredibly fun! MeepMoop agrees!!!    1:09:16 (Pop-up)
The Casual Sexists  I Like Shapes   Favoriting Your Prescription Is Ready  It's Hurting My Feelings  2021  Transatlantic couple Varrick and Ed Zed have been coaxing crooked pop songs out of disillusionment, animals and the glorious horrors of modern life since before Brexit. Drums, computers and household objects are their tools. Of their name they say "Absolutely. The meaning is twofold: ‘The Casual Sexists’ appealed to our sense of humour as a young married couple to have a collective name with such unchaste implications—with a nod to the inception of our own relationship—but it also confronts the ugliness of misogyny still so prevalent in our world, and that meaning has only become stronger over time. A lot of our songs address issues of everyday ‘casual’ sexism, and we’re never short on material." Varrick is a former club kid / artist’s muse who cut her teeth on Manhattan’s nightlife scene when it was still seedier than a grain silo. She loves the desert, aye-ayes, unlimited Metrocards, and learning Japanese. Ed is a former child punk who fronted teen terrors The Walking Abortions, and once snogged Adam Ant in a North London pub. He loves derelict buildings, Australian New Wave cinema, lammergeiers, and the music of Inga Copeland.    1:12:26 (Pop-up)
Brian Eno  Kings Lead Hat   Favoriting Before And After Science  Island Records  1977  Before and After Science is the fifth studio album by British musician Brian Eno. Produced by Eno and Rhett Davies, it was originally released by Polydor Records in December 1977 in the United Kingdom and by Island U.S. soon after. Musicians from the U.K. and Germany collaborated on the album, including Robert Wyatt of Soft Machine, Fred Frith of Henry Cow, Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music, Paul Rudolph of Hawkwind, Andy Fraser of Free, Dave Mattacks of Fairport Convention, Jaki Liebezeit of Can, and Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius of Cluster. Over one hundred tracks were written with only ten making the album's final cut. This was one of Eno's longest albums in the making...two years, as he was already working on his solo ambient music albums Music for Films and Discreet Music...    1:14:08 (Pop-up)
Jarvis Cocker  Fat Children   Favoriting Jarvis (2020 Complete Edition)  Rough Trade  2006  Jarvis' first solo outing post Pulp...Jarvis is the record of someone losing hope, the sound of dejection turned up to 10. Cocker was always Britpop's poet laureate of anticipation, creaming himself at the thought of the next seedy shag, the glittering prospect of fame, the moonage daydream of buzzing around on jetpacks, or even the thought of a provincial shopping center fountain in the unimaginable year 2000. It was always likely to end in disappointment-- but how else were you to survive the monotonous mundanity without supercharging it with the promise of sex, death, and celebrity? "The parents are to blame"-- knowing he's sounding like a nannyish MP or Daily Mail reader, but running with it anyway-- "breeding maggots without the sense to turn into flies." At least he can still get intoxicated with disgust.    1:18:03 (Pop-up)
I Monster  Hey Mrs. (Glamourpuss Remix)   Favoriting Neveroddoreven  Dharma Records  2004  I Monster are an English electronic music duo, composed of the Sheffield based record producers Dean Honer and Jarrod Gosling. I Monster and its label Twins of Evil are both named after horror films starring Peter Cushing. I Monster formed in 1997 and released their debut album These Are Our Children in 1998. However, due to Honer being involved with hitmakers All Seeing I, it was not until 2001 that they released their first single, "Daydream in Blue", a remix of The Gunter Kallmann Choir's version of The Wallace Collection's "Daydream". They released their acclaimed second album Neveroddoreven in 2003, which was re-released with a new sleeve in 2005 on Dharma Records. The members are regular guest DJs across the country and have played live shows in London and at various European music festivals. Part of the live band is made up of Fred de Fred and Marion Benoist from The Lovers, on guitar and vocals respectively.    1:21:32 (Pop-up)
Silver Apples  Mustang Sally   Favoriting The Garden  Whirlybird Records  1998  Decades after their brief yet influential career ground to a sudden halt due to being sued for exorbitant amounts by Pan Am Airlines, Silver Apples remain one of pop music's true enigmas: a surreal, almost unprecedented duo, their music explored interstellar drones and hums, pulsing rhythms and electronically-generated melodies years before similar ideas were adopted in the work of acolytes ranging from Suicide to Spacemen 3 to Laika. Silver Apples formed in New York in 1967 and comprised percussionist Danny Taylor and lead vocalist Simeon, who played an instrument also dubbed the Simeon, which (according to notes on the duo's self-titled 1968 debut LP) consisted of "nine audio oscillators and eighty-six manual controls... The lead and rhythm oscillators are played with the hands, elbows and knees and the bass oscillators are played with the feet." Although the utterly uncommercial record — an ingenious cacophony of beeps, buzzes and beats — sold poorly, the Silver Apples resurfaced a year later with their sophomore effort, 'Contact', another far-flung outing which fared no better than its predecessor. It was this record's cover, depicting the duo in the cockpit of a Pan Am airplane, that resulted in a legal battle that left the band unable to continue recording and releasing music. Suddenly it seemed they had disappeared into thin air. However, in 1996 the Silver Apples resurfaced..and for that we are all grateful.    1:26:03 (Pop-up)

A Handful of Nitro   Favoriting

Dracula's Music Cabinet 

Finders Keepers 

1968 

The Vampires of Dartmoore was a German studio project who released this one horror themed album in 1969. The band plays psychedelic rock with some clear jazz-rock influences and Halloween music elements all over the place. This is the movie soundtrack to a film that never existed. This is the movie soundtrack by the band that was never requested. These were the sound library musicians who had to invent their own clients and imaginary cast, crew and plot to get their music heard, by a niche audience, before floating deep into the depths of the rare record reservoir gasping for breath.

Wooze  Birthday   Favoriting The Magnificent Eleven  Young Poet  2022  "Set for release on 9th September via Young Poet, London duo Wooze have announced their new EP ‘The Magnificent Eleven’. Releasing new single ‘Birthday’, Wooze say, “There aren’t enough songs commiserating birthdays, so we wanted to write one for that gap in the market, especially as each birthday now signifies one step further from the womb and one step closer to the tomb. A matter of perspective perhaps? But facts are facts.”"  *   1:40:49 (Pop-up)
Uhr  Sports Day   Favoriting Sports Day (Single)  Own It Records  2022  Released Jul 1, 2022. This is a three piece band from Manchester, who "formed in the halcyon months just prior to the arrival of Covid and the first lockdown back in 2020. This put the band on hold for a year or so, until [their] rehearsal space opened up again..." "New single Sports Day/Ugly Children sees Uhr team up with John Linger of Girls in Synthesis [mixing & mastering] and Matthew Gallagher [recording] to record another slice of solidly fluid surrealist punk rock. Challenging, abstract Beckett-esque in-house visuals show Uhr continue to challenge with each step forwards." Uhr (Bandcamp)  *   1:43:18 (Pop-up)
Viagra Boys  Sports   Favoriting Street Worms  Year0001  2018  This is the song that made us fall in love with Viagra Boys. They just seem to get better and better, but the excellence of this song cannot be argued against. The band is from Stockholm, Sweden and their singer, Sebastian Murphy, the band's half-Swedish, half-American lead singer, who grew up in the Bay Area but has made his home in Stockholm for a dozen years. Sadly, the group lost Benjamin Vallé, who co-founded and played guitar on Oct 27, 2021 at the age of 47.    1:45:11 (Pop-up)

Altered Images  Happy Birthday   Favoriting Happy Birthday  Epic  1981  You can't celebrate a birthday without this tune! The song entered the UK charts in September 1981 and peaked at number two the following month, holding that position for three weeks. It was the 15th-best-selling single in the UK in 1981 and has been certified silver by the BPI for sales in excess of 250,000 copies. "Happy Birthday" is the only song on the album that was produced by Martin Rushent, who had already scored major success that year producing for the Human League and would win the Producer of the Year award for 1981 at the BPI Awards. Accordingly, the band chose Rushent to produce their next album, Pinky Blue (1982), in its entirety. It's one of the best birthday tunes out there and perfect for New Wave dancey party stylez!!! Thank you for helping us celebrate our first year on the airwaves in SJR and WFMU! We are so grateful!    2:01:35 (Pop-up)
Gorillaz  We Got The Power   Favoriting Humanz (Deluxe)  Parlophone  2017  To guide collaborators into the "dark fantasy" setting that Albarn envisioned for Humanz, Albarn instructed guest artists to imagine a future in which Donald Trump had won the 2016 United States presidential election. As recording for Humanz began well before Trump had secured the Republican presidential nomination, much less the presidency, the possibility of a Trump presidency was still considered remote by many; collaborator Pusha T (who recorded his contribution in early 2016) later commented on Albarn's inadvertent foresight, saying: "I wrote from the perspective of this day, I was writing from the perspective of a Trump win. When this really happened, I was like 'Wait a minute, what type of crystal ball did this guy have? Why are you even asking me to think along these lines?' I don't think he thought that [Trump] would win, I'm not gonna go that far, but he definitely conceptualised this whole thing." "We Got the Power" features guest vocals from Jehnny Beth, the lead singer of the British rock band Savages, as well as backing vocals from American rapper D.R.A.M and English singer Noel Gallagher. Albarn welcomed the arrival of Beth as the album was meant to be "a series of conversations between men and women". He hailed her performance, saying: "She sounds like herself, but there are also strong echoes of Siouxsie Sioux. She’s brilliant."    2:04:35 (Pop-up)

I brought back some of the early "glambient" vibe that Kitten Sparkles had during his show before us. He started ambient and got into the party music w/ a guest DJ... We unwittingly did a bit of the reverse, haha.

TJ was good, thanks Babs! One of the records I found was by a '60s Mexican band called Los Johnny Jets, who i'd never heard of, but Sheena's own Speedo Gonzalez was excited when I told him - turns out he's a big fan of theirs. So I think i did good.
