The Normal	T.V.O.D. "T.V.O.D." by "The Normal"	T.V.O.D. 7"	Mute	1978	"T.V.O.D." was released as the A-side for Daniel Miller's project The Normal. "T.V.O.D." was the only single by Miller's musical project the Normal, and the very first release on his Mute Records label. "Warm Leatherette" was released as the B-side; however, since it was "Warm Leatherette" that gained more public attention, it was featured as the lead song on subsequent single re-releases. Although Miller did not expect the single to be successful, it sold 30,000 copies.		0:03:23 (Pop-up)
AUS!Funkt	Can You Make It Alright?	Can You Make It Alright?	Disco DEVIL	2023	Released Nov 15, 2023 -- Toronto-based art-disco/post punk/electro/death disco quartet AUS!Funkt have a new EP ‘Can You Make It Alright?‘, featuring 2 new austere-disco/post-punk-infused tracks. "Rejecting the lyrical and musical excesses of rock music, AUS!Funkt combines the groove of electronic music with the subversive aggression of post-punk. The lyrics, spoken and sung, provoke the mind with their realism and repetition. //// Electronic beats seduce the body into movement, freeing it from its torpor. On top, the guitar spurts out clouds of noise, while the bass supplies the melody. AUS!Funkt assaults the senses and uneases the mind while you dance to its unsettling disco beats. //// Speaking about the band’s name, they shared:“aus!Funkt aka “austere funktion” refers to a function or role that is characterized by simplicity, strictness, or a lack of ornamentation. “Austere” means plain, simple, or severe in appearance or manner, while “function” refers to a purpose or role. Therefore, an “austere funktion” describes a task or role that is straightforward, minimalistic, and focused on its essential purpose without unnecessary embellishments or frills. Careful examination of the limited use of notes confirms the diagnosis of the syndrome of ‘post-notes’ austerity.”" AUS!Funkt (Bandcamp)	*	0:06:12 (Pop-up)
Welt Star	Ich Hasse Blumen "Ich Hasse Blumen" by "Welt Star"	Ich Hasse Blumen	Refry Records	2022	The title translates to "I Hate Flowers". Excellent. This is an L.A.-German post-punk trio. Robert Pawliczek - Guitar/vocals // Bill Gray - Bass // Vinny Earley - Drums/synth. Excellent. More... "Here is an international collaboration featuring the brains behind DIODE, BOBBY WOULD, and VAGUESS. Needless to say, I was thrilled to dive into this German (by way of L.A.) punk that is moody and fun all at once. The drums absolutely bop, there’s a tasteful amount of synth, and the guitar and bass interlock like some kind of all-angles double helix in a way that hits from the heart and not the head—this isn’t some erudite post-punk, but something much more populist and propulsive. It’s a total blast to hear these musical minds intersect, and though by all reports it could be a while until we hear more from this project (if ever again), I will be anxiously waiting. “Cool” feels like a meaningless word these days, but if anything is cool, it’s this."

TV on the Radio	Quartz "Quartz" by "TV on the Radio"	Seeds	Harvest	2014	"Seeds is the fifth studio album by American art rock band TV on the Radio, released on November 18, 2014 through Harvest Records. It is the band's first album since the 2011 death of their bassist, Gerard Smith. //// Seeds was recorded in Los Angeles, at guitarist Dave Sitek's Federal Prism home studio. Sitek also produced the record. Lead singer Tunde Adebimpe explained, "It was nice to be somewhere where you're not exactly on the clock and worried about how much everything is costing you. It was pretty much the same situation as when we started making music." //// "The band announced the album on July 29, 2014. Adebimpe stated in a press release: We've been through a lot of stuff in the past few years that could have stopped the band cold, but I'm glad we got it together and took stock of the unique connection we have between each other because the record is, 1,000 percent, without a doubt, the best thing we've ever done."		0:17:56 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Blonde Redhead	More Coda "More Coda" by "Blonde Redhead"	More Coda (DIgital Single)	Self-Released	2023	"Blonde Redhead have released “More Coda,” a reworking of 2000’s “For the Damaged Coda” that the band made for Rick & Morty. The song is used as a theme for the character Evil Morty. //// “For the Damaged Coda” appears on Blonde Redhead’s 2000 album, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons. “More Coda” was recorded for the Adult Swim series in New York. Singer Kazu Makino said of the new version: “We ramped up the drama and thrill to match the exhilaration of the scene.” //// In addition to sharing “More Coda,” Blonde Redhead have announced a 2024 North American tour. The dates will follow European shows that begin next week. See a full itinerary below. //// Earlier this year, Blonde Redhead shared their first album in nearly a decade, Sit Down for Dinner."

Lo Noom	I Have No Idea What I'm Doing	I Have No Idea What I'm Doing Single	Lo Noom	2023	With this single freshly out at the end of October, Lo Noom hail from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. This is a solo bedroom project courtesy of Andrew Newman. He wears big glasses. He looks a bit like Morrissey and Philip Seymour Hoffman. He looks serious. He has been playing guitar since grade 3 and has been releasing music since 2015. His influences are many from Tame Impala to the Supremes "the Supremes. Every song that they ever made was perfect. It’s like they covered every relatable topic on the subject of love. And I’m not sure if it is because my parents played them all the time while I was growing up, but every time I hear them I miss my family, and I feel really happy and nostalgic."	*	0:32:43 (Pop-up)
Meatbodies	Disorder "Disorder" by "Meatbodies"	Meatbodies	In The Red	2014	Meatbodies is an American psychedelic rock band, formed in 2011 in Los Angeles, California by Chad Ubovich. He has also played with Fuzz and Ty Segall. This album was well reviewed, with PF writing "Pro wrestling heels use the term "B+ player" about guys in Ubovich's position—rookies who put on a good show but aren't quite headliners. But he rips, you see. He's always been a destroyer, and on Meatbodies, he also proves to be an ace rock'n'roll strategist. The tone here is set perfectly: 59 seconds of psychedelic sci-fi noise, and then, very suddenly, Ubovich and Segall come in at full power, electric guitars unrelenting, with "Disorder". It's a loud, exciting, kinetic, and brazen introduction"		0:34:30 (Pop-up)
XYZ	Don't Tread On Me "Don't Tread On Me" by "XYZ"	Artificial Flavouring	Mono-Tone Records	2018	XYZ is the trans-Atlantic collaboration between American Ian Svenonius and Frenchman Memphis Electronic. You might recognize Mr. Svenonius’ effort to free Arthur Lee with his former group, the Make-Up, or his more recent work with Chain & the Gang or Escape-ism, the same way you might recall Mr. Electronic’s time with NON!, the Dum Dum Boys or Die Idiots. The aforementioned duo mashed their respective talents together here to produce a twelve song platter that’s full of nervous, electro rockers. While lyrically the topics of the songs might seem like a bummer...this is a terrific record (thanks to the general awesomeness of its creators) and a fun listen.		0:36:59 (Pop-up)
The World	Punctuate "Punctuate" by "The World"	Reddish	Lumpy Records	2019	No new music in a few years from this awesome band so let's just dig a bit deeper into Reddish. The World hail from Oakland and share members from a slew of other Bay Area bands such as The Rays, Naked Roommate, Blues Lawyer, and Andy Human & the Reptoids. They are influenced by X Ray Spex, Au Pairs, Delta 8, ESG, Lithics....basically the best of the best of post punk. So yeah, no wonder they are amazing!		0:39:24 (Pop-up)
Ros Serey Sothea	Old Pot Still Cooks Good Rice	Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll OST	Dust To Digital	2015	I'm dedicating this amazing fuzzy banger to Derek on the (slightly belated) occasion of his birthday! We play tons of Cambodian psych, and Ros was one of the greats and referred to as "The Golden Voice of the Capital" Despite a relatively brief career she is credited with singing hundreds of songs. Sothea's older sister Ros Saboeut is widely credited with reuniting Cambodia's surviving musicians and bands in the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge era. Surviving musicians had initially contacted Ros Saboeut to inquire about Sothea's fate.Ros Saboeut sought to restore Cambodian music as a tribute to her sister, saying "I think she was bound by the legacy of her sister to help." Her efforts were widely credited with rebuilding the country's rock genre.		0:41:52 (Pop-up)
Orchestre Abass	Hakia Dunia "Hakia Dunia" by "Orchestre Abass"	De Bassari Togo	Analog Africa	2018	Led by the great Malam Issa Abass, Orchestre Abass are from a geographical area that Redjeb has dubbed “The Islamic Funk Belt.” Stretching from Northern Ghana to Northern Cameroon, the territory was studded with funk groups comprised of musicians from an Islamic background that forged a distinct ripple of West African rock. The rattling percussion section, wah wah guitar rhythms, and heavy-as-hell organs especially on songs such as “Haka Dunia,” forms a scintillating funk-rock workout.		0:45:16 (Pop-up)
Cumbia En Moog	Cumbia del Sal "Cumbia del Sal" by "Cumbia En Moog"	Cumbia del Sal	Cumbia en Moog	2020	If Bach can go Moog, so can cumbia! This surprisingly funky novelty tune has one of those break-beat intros that loop makers drool for. Weird synth noodles and chipmunk chorus vocals only add to the “what the?” factor (in a good way!). On the flipside, another updated Costeño classic, with crazy synth noodles, scratchy guitar looping and odd vocals. Hats off to Fruko and Fuentes for letting this experiment in Afro-modernization happen. Cumbia hails from Peru and Columbia...but every Hispanic country now has its own unique version....cumbia for everyone!		0:49:22 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Zone Six	Chrono Trigger "Chrono Trigger" by "Zone Six"	Full Mental Jacket	Sulatron Records	2022	Founded in 1997 by Dave Schmidt (aka Sula Bassana, on Spacebass) with his Liquid Visions pals Hans-Peter Ringholz (Guitar) and Claus Bühler (Drums), Zone Six are one of the first bands of the NEO-Krautrock and Improrock movement. Always evolving.  The idea behind was to play long tranceful space- and acid-rock improvisations. Now, 26 years later, this project is still existing and has a new, dark and powerful album out. The basics were recorded within the first three days of March 2022, influenced/affected by the news of the just started Russian war on Ukraine.		0:52:47 (Pop-up)
Wire	Ex-Lion Tamer "Ex-Lion Tamer" by "Wire"	Pink Flag	EMI	1977	The song that gave the band name to the group that dedicated themselves to covering Wire's debut "Pink Flag" album in the 80's. Wire used to refuse to play their older songs, so they brought Ex Lion Tamers with them on a tour; either to appease or annoy their fans. Hard to say. Lyrics: "There's great danger (danger) For the loneliest ranger in town No silver bullets (bullets) Tonto's split the scene Next week will solve your problems But now Fish fingers all in a line The milk bottles stand empty Stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.) There's great danger And most caped crusader of all No cloak of justice Robin's quit the scene Next week will solve your problems But now Fish fingers all in a line The milk bottles stand empty Stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.)

Alien Nose Job	Television Sets "Television Sets" by "Alien Nose Job"	Suddenly Everything Is Twice As Loud	Anti Fade Records	2020	"You’d think Jake Robertson would already have his hands full playing in the likes of Ausmuteants, Leather Towel, School Damage, Drug Sweat et al. But no, evidently there’s always time for one more thoroughly wracked project, and Alien Nose Job’s focus is as kaleidoscopically scattershot as you’d expect from a man with such a short attention span. Just to confirm: yes, that’s a good thing. From the off, we glide through the Coneheads-style Devocore of Television Sets before romping through the jangling lo-fi pop of Weight of the World, which skips and mopes while making like The Clean setting light to their parents’ carpet with a magnifying glass. There’s also charmingly scruffy soul-pop, chugging sci-fi slop-punk, straight-up college rock balladry and much, much more. But these aren’t sketches or tossed-off genre exercises. They’re bona fide works of consummate skill that resonate sincerely and effortlessly. Essentially, each song sounds like a challenge to the one that follows, a cry of ‘step the fuck up’; Suddenly Everything is Twice as Loud is a treasure trove of mini-masterpieces. Rough as fuck mini-masterpieces, sure, recorded with a cheap drum machine and guitars that sound like rusty drills cutting through power cables, but mini-masterpieces nonetheless."		1:05:26 (Pop-up)
Kulululu	Tee Vee "Tee Vee" by "Kulululu"	Kulululu	Dazzleships Records	2021	Kulululu are from Portland, Oregon. "By Cris Lankenau July 25, 2017 at 10:45 pm PDT Who: Ku (vocals, guitar), Lu (guitar, vocals), Lu (bass), Lu (drums), Lu (saxophone), Lu (trombone). //// For Fans Of: Man Man, Gogol Bordello, Captain Beefheart. //// Sounds Like: The house band for a Portland version of Yo Gabba Gabba. //// Seated at a booth in B-Side Tavern, Kulululu’s frontman is trying to decide on a backstory. He’s already decided that he and his bandmates will remain anonymous for any and all things Kulululu, so real names are out. Ditto day jobs, personal histories and anything outright sad. If you can recall the time before every aspect of local culture had been mocked so extensively that Portland became a social experiment in city-wide solipsism, you might start to see exactly where Kulululu is coming from. //// "There's definitely a time and place to stand and listen and be really serious," he says. "We take a different approach and just try to make people laugh, smile, move around." //// Here's what we know for certain: The members of Kulululu are trained musicians from different parts of the country who all relocated to Portland separately but for the drummer and frontman—known as Ku and Lu, respectively. The term "Kulululu" is used by the band in an interchangeable elasticity. It's a verb, a noun, a philosophy. If you ask them what it is they'll tell you it could be anything. You might have Kulululu and not even know it. You might be Kulululu right now. //// The conceptual details are really just an avenue for the musicians in the band to keep everything surrounding their music erratic, jovial and perpetually exciting. The humdrum details of life or promotion are only considered as forms to wrap a gleeful scream around. "Kulululu (Bandcamp)		1:07:34 (Pop-up)
FM Berlin	TV "TV" by "FM Berlin"	At Least You're Having Fun	FM Berlin (Self Released)	2017	A four-piece from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.

Spiritual Cramp	Television "Television" by "Spiritual Cramp"	Television	Deranged Records	2018	A group from San Francisco, named after a Christian Death song. They have a new album out, but this isn't from that. Of recent note, though "Today, this isn’t Michael Bingham. Between writing this album and its release, the 36-year-old moved from San Francisco to Silver Lake, Los Angeles; he got sober, after a gradual realization that he was addicted to drugs and alcohol; and when Spiritual Cramp was offered a contract with Blue Grape Music, the new label set up by former Roadrunner executives Dave Rath and Cees Wessels, he quit his day job in marketing in order to finally give his all to something. “I floundered around for a long time. I was too afraid to fully apply myself to anything,” Bingham says. “What I always said, the entire time I was living my life, was ‘I just wanna play music.’ But my actions were saying, ‘Well, I kinda wanna play music.’ Even Spiritual Cramp, for the first four years, we were a one-foot-in one-foot-out kinda band. And when [I] no longer [used] drugs and alcohol, I realized pretty quickly that the only person standing in my way was me, and I didn’t wanna be that person.”" Spiritual Cramp (Bandcamp)		1:11:50 (Pop-up)
Talking Heads	Television Man "Television Man" by "Talking Heads"	Little Creatures (Deluxe Version)	Warner Records	1985	"Little Creatures is the sixth studio album by U.S. rock band Talking Heads, released June 10, 1985, by Sire Records. The album examines themes of Americana and incorporates elements of country music, with many songs featuring steel guitar. It was voted album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll, and is the band's best-selling studio album, with more than two million copies sold in the United States. The cover art was created by outsider artist Howard Finster, and was selected as album cover of the year by Rolling Stone." -- Personal aside: I put this song on a mixtape of "long songs" in High School. I was sick and a little melancholy and listened to it quite a few times & it was always a chore to get through it. I've always viewed this song as a bit of a chore, therefore. However, I've listened to it A LOT this week, and very much enjoyed it. For your pleasure, let's make it longer & play the remix next under-the-voice.		1:15:54 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Talking Heads	Television Man - Extended Mix	Little Creatures (Deluxe Version)	Warner Records	1985	This remix feels like it reveals all the parts that were submerged or lost in the mix. I love how it starts with the vocal ad-libs up front. Ha!		1:22:01 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Man Or Astro-Man?	Television Fission	Experiment Zero	Touch and Go Records	1996	""Man or Astro-man?" is an American surf rock group that was formed in Auburn, Alabama in the early 1990s and came to prominence over the following decade. //// Primarily instrumental, "Man or Astro-man?" blended the surf rock style of the early 1960s, like that of Dick Dale and The Spotnicks with the new wave and punk rock sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s. "Man or Astro-man?" was known for their anachronistic dedication to science fiction themes, audio samples, obscure electronic devices (such as theremins and tesla coils), and high-energy live performances. Their earlier albums like Is It ... Man or Astroman? and Destroy All Astromen! were known for their traditional surf rock instrumentation and sci-fi sound bite song introductions, whereas their later albums like EEVIAC... and A Spectrum of Infinite Scale were known for their use of synthesizers, printers (like the Apple ImageWriter II), and their more abstract, experimental sound. Their recordings were often peppered with sound bites from obscure science fiction films and TV shows. //// It is largely believed that the group took its name from the poster of the U.S. release of the Japanese film The Human Vapor, which includes the tagline "IS HE MAN OR ASTRO-MAN?", the line seemingly appropriated as the title of their first album, Is It ... Man or Astroman?."		1:30:14 (Pop-up)
TV Girl & Monster Rally	Average Guy (Blame)	Average Guy (Blame) - Single	TV Girl & Monster Rally	2023	Just released last week, TV Girl has added vocals and a new arrangement to Monster Rally's track 'Blame' off of the Beyond the Sea LP. Monster Rally is the brainchild of Cleveland native Ted Feighan. Producing music that is sampled-based tropical pop, Monster Rally began with the goal of assembling a bunch of old records into a completely different beast. Feighan began crafting tracks from his collection of records, combining his interests in Hip-hop, Exotica, Tropicalia, and Soul. Monster Rally creates tracks that manage to maintain a surprisingly organic sound, as if they were recorded by a full band on analog tape. There is something inherently nostalgic about the sound. Also the artwork is amazing!	*	1:33:29 (Pop-up)
Sleaford Mods	Old Nottz - Alt Mix	More UK Grim	Rough Trade	2023	I can't help it if I find a new Sleaford Mods tune to play every week THEY ARE THAT GOOD.

Don't let the Nottz get you down!		1:36:18 (Pop-up)
Portishead	Western Eyes "Western Eyes" by "Portishead"	Roseland NYC Live 25	Universal	2023	Sometimes a perfect record is ruined by remastering, however this release is actually...very welcome. It was released on 2 November 1998 by Go! Beat. Those who were lucky enough to see that show live marvelled at its brilliance in presenting what could be considered challenging live material so effortlessly and impactfully "i think the most important takeaway from Roseland is this - a good live performance is transformative. it feels like it means something - something that studio recordings just can't convey. for a live performance to be good, it has to evoke the latent feelings of your sound, your music, your identity...the energy, the passion, they make you feel like you're part of something bigger. something you can't get in the studio. for a moment, however long, a moment, you're there. watching. experiencing. living."		1:39:47 (Pop-up)
The Intelligence	The Limerance Whip	Limerance Whip Single	Vapid Moonlighting Inc.	2023	The Intelligence is another band who are most intruiguing. How do you possibly follow a perfect Portishead performance in a playlist. With this song that sounds like the beautiful alien child of the artist that preceded it. The full album is due to drop in early 2024....The Intelligence’s brand of art-smarm surf has become a touchstone for with-it rock ’n’ roll of the era. Perhaps a surprising assertion, especially considering their primitive and personal origins, but one cemented by the dedication and continual reinvention fostered by main-brain Lars Aldric Finberg. (A Frames, Dipers, Unnatural Helpers) For all their longevity and prolificacy, The Intelligence is a restless, ever-evolving vehicle for Finberg, showcasing his presumably patented knack for sharp pop songwriting that rides waves from both the past and heretofore unknown. They are evolving constantly and I am entranced with this current sound...	*	1:43:55 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Forever Pavot	Générique Fin "Générique Fin" by "Forever Pavot"	Simple Comme Sylvain OST	Mk2	2023	Released Nov 10 -- "Émile Sornin aka Forever Pavot is currently on an impressive release run. After composing the soundtracks for the films De Nos Frères Blessés by Hélier Cisterne in 2020 and Babysitter by Monia Chokri in 2022, he presented in March a new solo album, L'Idiophone on Born Bad Records, for which he has been touring Europe since its release. The Parisian multi-instrumentalist is already back on BMM with his third soundtrack for Monia Chokri's new film, Simple Comme Sylvain. //// "Monia came to me for her previous film Babysitter, she had listened a lot to my 2nd album La Pantoufle during the writing process and she wanted me to compose the music for her second film. As we got on very well, she contacted me again for her 3rd film Simple Comme Sylvain.""	*	1:48:47 (Pop-up)
Otay:onii	Overlap "Overlap" by "Otay:onii"	Dream Hacker	bié	2023	Lane Shi Otayonii is a Chinese musician, sound designer, film composer and installation artist. Otayonii was born in Haining, China and she says she was a naughty child, but certain life events silenced her as she was growing up, changing her into a shy, quiet person. After moving to America at 16, she pursued music and fronted Dent and Elizabeth Colour Wheel. Dream Hacker is an astral projection journey in the overlapping space where reality collides with dreams, or a black mass of shattered truths fluttering and swirling high above the ground. Her noise/improv-based approach to songwriting has, for now, been altered to a more structured and infectious ballad-oriented narrative, constantly enhanced by her stark vocal experimentation. As this dream odyssey winds on, she effortlessly switches between angelic healing tones and dreadful ritual howls, using her ample vocal textures to dictate the up and downs, cruelness and dreaminess in the lush tribal-percussion-led electronic orchestration. "My task is to solve a puzzle with another puzzle that can't be seen, be touched, but to feel." Hands down, one of the most beautiful songs we've ever played on this show.		1:54:49 (Pop-up)

	🏝 ♥ 8:05pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tom P @8:02 That is very lovely feedback, TomP... Thanks for that, haha.
	8:08pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:03 can’t complain babs anytime i listen to this station it’s a good day
	8:09pm Tyler: Hello! HELLO!
	🏝 ♥ 8:09pm Derek Westerholm: Hello RobM, Scott_Oz, TomP, UltraD, hello hello!
	♥ 8:09pm DJ Babs: awesome I'm just here in the studio gettin my steps in!
	🏝 ♥ 8:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:05 Ultra, as always, excellent suggestions!
	🏝 ♥ 8:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:09 Hey there Tyler!
	🏝 ♥ 8:09pm ultradamno: ...the some about specific shows like The Easy Goings cover of the The Beach Boys' "Johnny Carson" or The Statler Bros "Flowers On The Wall" (or The Ratler Bros cover....to pick up on a Captain Kangaroo theme from the previous show's talkback)
	♥ 8:13pm DJ Babs: Omg I love this.
	8:13pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:09 Hi Derek, Happy Post-Birthday Stagger!
	8:13pm Robm: howdy derek
	♥ 8:14pm DJ Babs: I don’t think flowers should be hated tho.
	♥ 8:14pm DJ Babs: Hiyooo Tyler!
	8:15pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:14 Hallo, Babs-a-blumen!
	🏝 ♥ 8:15pm ultradamno: Oooh, Happy Flowers' "I Said I Wanna Watch Cartoons" or Messer Chups' "Twin Peaks Twist"
	🏝 ♥ 8:16pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:13 Thanks Tyler! Howreyouuu doing?
	8:17pm Tyler: Those 'Bastards' Colin & Malka are going to force me to re-buy this on CD (for the extras) & vinyl (first time on vinyl) :)
	8:17pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:16 Doing pretty well, thanks, Derek! And you?
	🏝 ♥ 8:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:17 Of course they are...
	♥ 8:18pm DJ Babs: That’s worth the expense tho to be sure. VALUE FOR DOLLAR
	🏝 ♥ 8:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Cut The Slack" by "Colin Newman, Malka Spigel" This one reminds me very much of Read & Burn era Wire... Which makes sense, since it's unreleased from that era.
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Cut The Slack" by "Colin Newman, Malka Spigel" This song is a blast
	♥ 8:19pm DJ Babs: It really is!
	8:19pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:18 Worth it, regardless. They've been very kind to me over the years. Just hoping the shipping is not going to be crazy. Hate giving more to the courier or postal service than to the artist.
	🏝 ♥ 8:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:19 Good point.
	♥ 8:20pm DJ Babs: It is so crazy how much tv on the radio guy sounds like Peter Gabriel at times…
	8:20pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:18 Yes, I agree, Derek. Has that 'Read & Burn' quality in the recording & song structure.
	♥ 8:22pm DJ Babs: Lol anyone else notice that the ID pic for this song on the player is actually a picture of Crystal Gayle?
	🏝 ♥ 8:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Quartz" by "TV on the Radio" This reminds me, I mentioned this on another playback, maybe Blumin's, that there should be an alt-stream of just isolated sounds from robot fights called Battlebots On The Radio
	8:22pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:20 I hear what you mean. PG often reminds me of 'Heard It Throught The Grapevine'-era Marvin Gaye.
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:22 That sounds interesting! Relaxing for some I suppose?!
	8:23pm Tyler: ↳ Tyler @8:20 It was probably left off 'Bastard' because it is mostly instrumental.
	🏝 ♥ 8:25pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "More Coda" by "Blonde Redhead" Is this the end music from the Rick & Morty where Rick was gunna kill.... okay!
	🏝 ♥ 8:25pm gsdoubleu: hello everyone on a dark november night!

	🏝 ♥ 8:32pm ultradamno: I disagree about that. Busy little b-side wins.

	🏝 ♥ 8:36pm ultradamno: Foetus covered it, by the way....

	🏝 ♥ 8:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:39 Very weird study to delve into.
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Babs: I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT FOR A SECOND
	🏝 ♥ 8:40pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:39 In fairness, they were able to fool the researchers
	🏝 ♥ 8:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:40 Hahaha
	🏝 ♥ 8:43pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Old Pot Still Cooks Good Rice" by "Ros Serey Sothea" ROS!
	♥ 8:44pm DJ Babs: I can't get enough of ROS
	🏝 ♥ 8:44pm Alli B: This song rules
	🏝 ♥ 8:45pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Old Pot Still Cooks Good Rice" by "Ros Serey Sothea" Bittersweet story....
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Babs: Agreed! Though I dedicated this to DErek I identify strongly with that old pot.
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tom P @8:45 oh man, the sheer amount of music and culture and the artists themselves lost during that time is just...staggering.
	🏝 ♥ 8:46pm gsdoubleu: ↳ Alli B @8:44 you are so right!
	8:46pm laurapanic: HI all...my bus to the beach was late again. The bus route to Echo Beach is ALWAYS running late

	♥ 8:53pm DJ Babs: Hello and welcome Bob!!
	8:54pm Tyler: Speaking of tickling the old Moog diodes, I just had a Walter (now Wendy) Carlos double-record arrive from Quebec. It's a work of art...
	🏝 ♥ 8:59pm Scott_Oz: Yooz guys pots got Wok Hei!!

	♥ 9:09pm DJ Babs: This is timely as my work is currently selling off cheap TVS
	9:10pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:09 You could easily make a box set of songs about TV :)
	♥ 9:10pm DJ Babs: I thought we already did a TV themed show!
	9:10pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "TV" by "FM Berlin" I like this too, yes! Good Vocallist
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: There was a ton of debate on this song this week

	♥ 9:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:12 Of course we did!
	🏝 ♥ 9:13pm ultradamno: (those are my two go-to slaps)
	♥ 9:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ gsdoubleu @9:13 Epic vocals for sure!
	♥ 9:14pm DJ Babs: Derek’s gettin all hip with the modern indie! I like it!
	♥ 9:16pm DJ Babs: This has a late Roxy music kinda swagger to it.
	♥ 9:18pm DJ Babs: Derek's constant playing of this last week has led me to revise my opinion of this tune greatly...
	🏝 ♥ 9:19pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Television Man" by "Talking Heads" Takin me baaack there!!!
	9:20pm Tyler: Don't have this Talking Heads album. I've got to fill in some of the gaps in my collection. I only recently released that one of my favourite TH songs 'Love -> Building On Fire' does not actually appear on any of their albums.
	🏝 ♥ 9:20pm ultradamno: I like the television man in Satisfaction better, once I forgave him for not smoking the same brand of cigarettes as me.
	🏝 ♥ 9:20pm ultradamno: ...I've evolved on the issue.
	9:20pm Tyler: *realized
	♥ 9:22pm DJ Babs: That's a good way of putting it. I don't think it's David's most deep insights lyrically, and musically it's sooo clunky and 80's but it does have a certain charm!
	9:22pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Television Man" by "Talking Heads" LOVELOVELOVE

	9:25pm Tyler: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:24 Television Man (The Re-Run Mix) :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:29pm ultradamno: A CD song Kitten played just last week, I think.
	🏝 ♥ 9:29pm northguineahills: tardy to the party!
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm northguineahills: should have paired tv priest w/ tv on the radio...
	🏝 ♥ 9:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Television Fission" by "Man Or Astro-Man?" I have seen man or astroman ? live 5 times (from hs past uni)
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm northguineahills: w/ two mics, you can create some serious ECHO beach!
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm northguineahills: my problem is there is too much space in my head, not enough grey matter, hence the echo...
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm ultradamno: Ex-Lion Tamers, with the music critic who was instrumental in bringing down R Kelly Jim DeRogatis gojohnnygojohnny.wordpress.com...
	9:35pm Tyler: Didn't realize that 'Man Or Astro-man?' are from Alabama.
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm Scott_Oz: What is this 'non-alcoholic' beverage you speak of Babs?? 🍻😎🤙💨🍷
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm ultradamno: Jim DeRogatis: The thorn in R. Kelly's side www.bbc.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:30 TV Priest were definitely in the running this week... Just one of those things that falls by the wayside due to following random whims...
	♥ 9:36pm DJ Babs: Heya NGH!!!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm ultradamno: (by the way...starting to look like P. Diddler has sex trafficking problems)
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:35 i saw daikaiju last week. it's rumored one of the guitarists was from man or astromman? as the band was originally from huntsville (now houston). I didn't recognize any of the band members (hung out w/ them until 2am), so, i believe that rumor is bunk...
	♥ 9:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:35 haha! I'm super enjoying my weekly bottle of wine! (the first of two lol)
	♥ 9:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:36 noooooooooowaaaaay but not surprised
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:35 "water, like you use in the toilet?"
	9:38pm Tyler: ↳ northguineahills @9:37 Well, I hope you had a good time, regardless...
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:33 I bet Man Or Astroman? were great live. I was lucky enough to see Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet dozens of times through the 80's & 90's. Not that all surf bands are the same. Or, as Shadowy Men on A Shadowy Planet pointed out in one of their song titles "We're Not A Fucking Surf Band" ... youtu.be...
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm ultradamno: He may want to come up with yet another name soon.

	9:42pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:39 @Babs - that was another great Sleaford Mods song. Don't have the latest record, but thanks for reminding me to track it down...
	🏝 ♥ 9:42pm Scott_Oz: ↳ northguineahills @9:37 That's disgusting! I always dribble from the bowl. 🍻😎🤙🚽
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Western Eyes" by "Portishead" oh my, beth gibbons!
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Western Eyes" by "Portishead" Takin me to places I used to dwell!
	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: there's a bit of the wine slip slops here on occasion... let's just say my pristine single girl white couch didn't last long lol

	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:44 i take it you shouldn't dress like tom wolfe when claret is in hand...😉
	♥ 9:45pm DJ Babs: Then you say to yourself "babs how can I possibly play a song that's as good as that portishead tune" AND THEN YOU FIND IT
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:44 aye, it's live (that's why i use christian marclay's 'record w/o a cover' for such occasions)
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:44 The 'record crackle' effect in the 00's is the best... So good in the digital era.
	🏝 ♥ 9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "The Limerance Whip" by "The Intelligence" This is so excellent... Been meaning to investigate more of what he's been releasing!
	9:50pm Tyler: @Babs that The Intelligence song was excellent!
	🏝 ♥ 9:54pm northguineahills: Babs and Derek, thank you so much! amazing fun! /sleaford mods, forest lads they are!
	9:54pm Tyler: Are the Sleaford Mods descendants of Robin Hood & The Merry Men? :)

"T.V.O.D." was the only single by Miller's musical project the Normal, and the very first release on his Mute Records label.

AUS!Funkt	Can You Make It Alright?	Can You Make It Alright?	Disco DEVIL	2023	Released Nov 15, 2023 -- Toronto-based art-disco/post punk/electro/death disco quartet AUS!Funkt have a new EP ‘Can You Make It Alright?‘, featuring 2 new austere-disco/post-punk-infused tracks. "Rejecting the lyrical and musical excesses of rock music, AUS!Funkt combines the groove of electronic music with the subversive aggression of post-punk. The lyrics, spoken and sung, provoke the mind with their realism and repetition. //// Electronic beats seduce the body into movement, freeing it from its torpor. On top, the guitar spurts out clouds of noise, while the bass supplies the melody. AUS!Funkt assaults the senses and uneases the mind while you dance to its unsettling disco beats. //// Speaking about the band’s name, they shared:“aus!Funkt aka “austere funktion” refers to a function or role that is characterized by simplicity, strictness, or a lack of ornamentation. “Austere” means plain, simple, or severe in appearance or manner, while “function” refers to a purpose or role. Therefore, an “austere funktion” describes a task or role that is straightforward, minimalistic, and focused on its essential purpose without unnecessary embellishments or frills. Careful examination of the limited use of notes confirms the diagnosis of the syndrome of ‘post-notes’ austerity.”" AUS!Funkt (Bandcamp)	*	0:06:12 (Pop-up)
Welt Star	Ich Hasse Blumen "Ich Hasse Blumen" by "Welt Star"	Ich Hasse Blumen	Refry Records	2022	The title translates to "I Hate Flowers". Excellent. This is an L.A.-German post-punk trio. Robert Pawliczek - Guitar/vocals // Bill Gray - Bass // Vinny Earley - Drums/synth. Excellent. More... "Here is an international collaboration featuring the brains behind DIODE, BOBBY WOULD, and VAGUESS. Needless to say, I was thrilled to dive into this German (by way of L.A.) punk that is moody and fun all at once. The drums absolutely bop, there’s a tasteful amount of synth, and the guitar and bass interlock like some kind of all-angles double helix in a way that hits from the heart and not the head—this isn’t some erudite post-punk, but something much more populist and propulsive. It’s a total blast to hear these musical minds intersect, and though by all reports it could be a while until we hear more from this project (if ever again), I will be anxiously waiting. “Cool” feels like a meaningless word these days, but if anything is cool, it’s this."

TV on the Radio	Quartz "Quartz" by "TV on the Radio"	Seeds	Harvest	2014	"Seeds is the fifth studio album by American art rock band TV on the Radio, released on November 18, 2014 through Harvest Records. It is the band's first album since the 2011 death of their bassist, Gerard Smith. //// Seeds was recorded in Los Angeles, at guitarist Dave Sitek's Federal Prism home studio. Sitek also produced the record. Lead singer Tunde Adebimpe explained, "It was nice to be somewhere where you're not exactly on the clock and worried about how much everything is costing you. It was pretty much the same situation as when we started making music." //// "The band announced the album on July 29, 2014. Adebimpe stated in a press release: We've been through a lot of stuff in the past few years that could have stopped the band cold, but I'm glad we got it together and took stock of the unique connection we have between each other because the record is, 1,000 percent, without a doubt, the best thing we've ever done."		0:17:56 (Pop-up)

Lo Noom	I Have No Idea What I'm Doing	I Have No Idea What I'm Doing Single	Lo Noom	2023	With this single freshly out at the end of October, Lo Noom hail from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. This is a solo bedroom project courtesy of Andrew Newman. He wears big glasses. He looks a bit like Morrissey and Philip Seymour Hoffman. He looks serious. He has been playing guitar since grade 3 and has been releasing music since 2015. His influences are many from Tame Impala to the Supremes "the Supremes. Every song that they ever made was perfect. It’s like they covered every relatable topic on the subject of love. And I’m not sure if it is because my parents played them all the time while I was growing up, but every time I hear them I miss my family, and I feel really happy and nostalgic."	*	0:32:43 (Pop-up)
Meatbodies	Disorder "Disorder" by "Meatbodies"	Meatbodies	In The Red	2014	Meatbodies is an American psychedelic rock band, formed in 2011 in Los Angeles, California by Chad Ubovich. He has also played with Fuzz and Ty Segall. This album was well reviewed, with PF writing "Pro wrestling heels use the term "B+ player" about guys in Ubovich's position—rookies who put on a good show but aren't quite headliners. But he rips, you see. He's always been a destroyer, and on Meatbodies, he also proves to be an ace rock'n'roll strategist. The tone here is set perfectly: 59 seconds of psychedelic sci-fi noise, and then, very suddenly, Ubovich and Segall come in at full power, electric guitars unrelenting, with "Disorder". It's a loud, exciting, kinetic, and brazen introduction"		0:34:30 (Pop-up)
XYZ	Don't Tread On Me "Don't Tread On Me" by "XYZ"	Artificial Flavouring	Mono-Tone Records	2018	XYZ is the trans-Atlantic collaboration between American Ian Svenonius and Frenchman Memphis Electronic. You might recognize Mr. Svenonius’ effort to free Arthur Lee with his former group, the Make-Up, or his more recent work with Chain & the Gang or Escape-ism, the same way you might recall Mr. Electronic’s time with NON!, the Dum Dum Boys or Die Idiots. The aforementioned duo mashed their respective talents together here to produce a twelve song platter that’s full of nervous, electro rockers. While lyrically the topics of the songs might seem like a bummer...this is a terrific record (thanks to the general awesomeness of its creators) and a fun listen.		0:36:59 (Pop-up)
The World	Punctuate "Punctuate" by "The World"	Reddish	Lumpy Records	2019	No new music in a few years from this awesome band so let's just dig a bit deeper into Reddish. The World hail from Oakland and share members from a slew of other Bay Area bands such as The Rays, Naked Roommate, Blues Lawyer, and Andy Human & the Reptoids. They are influenced by X Ray Spex, Au Pairs, Delta 8, ESG, Lithics....basically the best of the best of post punk. So yeah, no wonder they are amazing!		0:39:24 (Pop-up)
Ros Serey Sothea	Old Pot Still Cooks Good Rice	Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll OST	Dust To Digital	2015	I'm dedicating this amazing fuzzy banger to Derek on the (slightly belated) occasion of his birthday! We play tons of Cambodian psych, and Ros was one of the greats and referred to as "The Golden Voice of the Capital" Despite a relatively brief career she is credited with singing hundreds of songs. Sothea's older sister Ros Saboeut is widely credited with reuniting Cambodia's surviving musicians and bands in the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge era. Surviving musicians had initially contacted Ros Saboeut to inquire about Sothea's fate.Ros Saboeut sought to restore Cambodian music as a tribute to her sister, saying "I think she was bound by the legacy of her sister to help." Her efforts were widely credited with rebuilding the country's rock genre.		0:41:52 (Pop-up)
Orchestre Abass	Hakia Dunia "Hakia Dunia" by "Orchestre Abass"	De Bassari Togo	Analog Africa	2018	Led by the great Malam Issa Abass, Orchestre Abass are from a geographical area that Redjeb has dubbed “The Islamic Funk Belt.” Stretching from Northern Ghana to Northern Cameroon, the territory was studded with funk groups comprised of musicians from an Islamic background that forged a distinct ripple of West African rock. The rattling percussion section, wah wah guitar rhythms, and heavy-as-hell organs especially on songs such as “Haka Dunia,” forms a scintillating funk-rock workout.		0:45:16 (Pop-up)
Cumbia En Moog	Cumbia del Sal "Cumbia del Sal" by "Cumbia En Moog"	Cumbia del Sal	Cumbia en Moog	2020	If Bach can go Moog, so can cumbia! This surprisingly funky novelty tune has one of those break-beat intros that loop makers drool for. Weird synth noodles and chipmunk chorus vocals only add to the “what the?” factor (in a good way!). On the flipside, another updated Costeño classic, with crazy synth noodles, scratchy guitar looping and odd vocals. Hats off to Fruko and Fuentes for letting this experiment in Afro-modernization happen. Cumbia hails from Peru and Columbia...but every Hispanic country now has its own unique version....cumbia for everyone!		0:49:22 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Zone Six	Chrono Trigger "Chrono Trigger" by "Zone Six"	Full Mental Jacket	Sulatron Records	2022	Founded in 1997 by Dave Schmidt (aka Sula Bassana, on Spacebass) with his Liquid Visions pals Hans-Peter Ringholz (Guitar) and Claus Bühler (Drums), Zone Six are one of the first bands of the NEO-Krautrock and Improrock movement. Always evolving.  The idea behind was to play long tranceful space- and acid-rock improvisations. Now, 26 years later, this project is still existing and has a new, dark and powerful album out. The basics were recorded within the first three days of March 2022, influenced/affected by the news of the just started Russian war on Ukraine.		0:52:47 (Pop-up)
Wire	Ex-Lion Tamer "Ex-Lion Tamer" by "Wire"	Pink Flag	EMI	1977	The song that gave the band name to the group that dedicated themselves to covering Wire's debut "Pink Flag" album in the 80's. Wire used to refuse to play their older songs, so they brought Ex Lion Tamers with them on a tour; either to appease or annoy their fans. Hard to say. Lyrics: "There's great danger (danger) For the loneliest ranger in town No silver bullets (bullets) Tonto's split the scene Next week will solve your problems But now Fish fingers all in a line The milk bottles stand empty Stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.) There's great danger And most caped crusader of all No cloak of justice Robin's quit the scene Next week will solve your problems But now Fish fingers all in a line The milk bottles stand empty Stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.)

Alien Nose Job	Television Sets "Television Sets" by "Alien Nose Job"	Suddenly Everything Is Twice As Loud	Anti Fade Records	2020	"You’d think Jake Robertson would already have his hands full playing in the likes of Ausmuteants, Leather Towel, School Damage, Drug Sweat et al. But no, evidently there’s always time for one more thoroughly wracked project, and Alien Nose Job’s focus is as kaleidoscopically scattershot as you’d expect from a man with such a short attention span. Just to confirm: yes, that’s a good thing. From the off, we glide through the Coneheads-style Devocore of Television Sets before romping through the jangling lo-fi pop of Weight of the World, which skips and mopes while making like The Clean setting light to their parents’ carpet with a magnifying glass. There’s also charmingly scruffy soul-pop, chugging sci-fi slop-punk, straight-up college rock balladry and much, much more. But these aren’t sketches or tossed-off genre exercises. They’re bona fide works of consummate skill that resonate sincerely and effortlessly. Essentially, each song sounds like a challenge to the one that follows, a cry of ‘step the fuck up’; Suddenly Everything is Twice as Loud is a treasure trove of mini-masterpieces. Rough as fuck mini-masterpieces, sure, recorded with a cheap drum machine and guitars that sound like rusty drills cutting through power cables, but mini-masterpieces nonetheless."		1:05:26 (Pop-up)
Kulululu	Tee Vee "Tee Vee" by "Kulululu"	Kulululu	Dazzleships Records	2021	Kulululu are from Portland, Oregon. "By Cris Lankenau July 25, 2017 at 10:45 pm PDT Who: Ku (vocals, guitar), Lu (guitar, vocals), Lu (bass), Lu (drums), Lu (saxophone), Lu (trombone). //// For Fans Of: Man Man, Gogol Bordello, Captain Beefheart. //// Sounds Like: The house band for a Portland version of Yo Gabba Gabba. //// Seated at a booth in B-Side Tavern, Kulululu’s frontman is trying to decide on a backstory. He’s already decided that he and his bandmates will remain anonymous for any and all things Kulululu, so real names are out. Ditto day jobs, personal histories and anything outright sad. If you can recall the time before every aspect of local culture had been mocked so extensively that Portland became a social experiment in city-wide solipsism, you might start to see exactly where Kulululu is coming from. //// "There's definitely a time and place to stand and listen and be really serious," he says. "We take a different approach and just try to make people laugh, smile, move around." //// Here's what we know for certain: The members of Kulululu are trained musicians from different parts of the country who all relocated to Portland separately but for the drummer and frontman—known as Ku and Lu, respectively. The term "Kulululu" is used by the band in an interchangeable elasticity. It's a verb, a noun, a philosophy. If you ask them what it is they'll tell you it could be anything. You might have Kulululu and not even know it. You might be Kulululu right now. //// The conceptual details are really just an avenue for the musicians in the band to keep everything surrounding their music erratic, jovial and perpetually exciting. The humdrum details of life or promotion are only considered as forms to wrap a gleeful scream around. "Kulululu (Bandcamp)		1:07:34 (Pop-up)
FM Berlin	TV "TV" by "FM Berlin"	At Least You're Having Fun	FM Berlin (Self Released)	2017	A four-piece from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. It doesn't seem like much happened outside this release, but it can be found on your streaming services when you're looking for songs about TV. I like the lead guitar in this.		1:08:48 (Pop-up)
Spiritual Cramp	Television "Television" by "Spiritual Cramp"	Television	Deranged Records	2018	A group from San Francisco, named after a Christian Death song. They have a new album out, but this isn't from that. Of recent note, though "Today, this isn’t Michael Bingham. Between writing this album and its release, the 36-year-old moved from San Francisco to Silver Lake, Los Angeles; he got sober, after a gradual realization that he was addicted to drugs and alcohol; and when Spiritual Cramp was offered a contract with Blue Grape Music, the new label set up by former Roadrunner executives Dave Rath and Cees Wessels, he quit his day job in marketing in order to finally give his all to something. “I floundered around for a long time. I was too afraid to fully apply myself to anything,” Bingham says. “What I always said, the entire time I was living my life, was ‘I just wanna play music.’ But my actions were saying, ‘Well, I kinda wanna play music.’ Even Spiritual Cramp, for the first four years, we were a one-foot-in one-foot-out kinda band. And when [I] no longer [used] drugs and alcohol, I realized pretty quickly that the only person standing in my way was me, and I didn’t wanna be that person.”" Spiritual Cramp (Bandcamp)		1:11:50 (Pop-up)
Talking Heads	Television Man "Television Man" by "Talking Heads"	Little Creatures (Deluxe Version)	Warner Records	1985	"Little Creatures is the sixth studio album by U.S. rock band Talking Heads, released June 10, 1985, by Sire Records. The album examines themes of Americana and incorporates elements of country music, with many songs featuring steel guitar. It was voted album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll, and is the band's best-selling studio album, with more than two million copies sold in the United States. The cover art was created by outsider artist Howard Finster, and was selected as album cover of the year by Rolling Stone." -- Personal aside: I put this song on a mixtape of "long songs" in High School. I was sick and a little melancholy and listened to it quite a few times & it was always a chore to get through it. I've always viewed this song as a bit of a chore, therefore. However, I've listened to it A LOT this week, and very much enjoyed it. For your pleasure, let's make it longer & play the remix next under-the-voice.		1:15:54 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Talking Heads	Television Man - Extended Mix	Little Creatures (Deluxe Version)	Warner Records	1985	This remix feels like it reveals all the parts that were submerged or lost in the mix. I love how it starts with the vocal ad-libs up front. Ha!		1:22:01 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Man Or Astro-Man?	Television Fission	Experiment Zero	Touch and Go Records	1996	""Man or Astro-man?" is an American surf rock group that was formed in Auburn, Alabama in the early 1990s and came to prominence over the following decade. //// Primarily instrumental, "Man or Astro-man?" blended the surf rock style of the early 1960s, like that of Dick Dale and The Spotnicks with the new wave and punk rock sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s. "Man or Astro-man?" was known for their anachronistic dedication to science fiction themes, audio samples, obscure electronic devices (such as theremins and tesla coils), and high-energy live performances. Their earlier albums like Is It ... Man or Astroman? and Destroy All Astromen! were known for their traditional surf rock instrumentation and sci-fi sound bite song introductions, whereas their later albums like EEVIAC... and A Spectrum of Infinite Scale were known for their use of synthesizers, printers (like the Apple ImageWriter II), and their more abstract, experimental sound. Their recordings were often peppered with sound bites from obscure science fiction films and TV shows. //// It is largely believed that the group took its name from the poster of the U.S. release of the Japanese film The Human Vapor, which includes the tagline "IS HE MAN OR ASTRO-MAN?", the line seemingly appropriated as the title of their first album, Is It ... Man or Astroman?."		1:30:14 (Pop-up)
TV Girl & Monster Rally	Average Guy (Blame)	Average Guy (Blame) - Single	TV Girl & Monster Rally	2023	Just released last week, TV Girl has added vocals and a new arrangement to Monster Rally's track 'Blame' off of the Beyond the Sea LP. Monster Rally is the brainchild of Cleveland native Ted Feighan. Producing music that is sampled-based tropical pop, Monster Rally began with the goal of assembling a bunch of old records into a completely different beast. Feighan began crafting tracks from his collection of records, combining his interests in Hip-hop, Exotica, Tropicalia, and Soul. Monster Rally creates tracks that manage to maintain a surprisingly organic sound, as if they were recorded by a full band on analog tape. There is something inherently nostalgic about the sound. Also the artwork is amazing!	*	1:33:29 (Pop-up)
Sleaford Mods	Old Nottz - Alt Mix	More UK Grim	Rough Trade	2023	I can't help it if I find a new Sleaford Mods tune to play every week THEY ARE THAT GOOD. Williamson says: “‘Old Nottz’ carries on from tunes like DIY, and centres more on local resentment for Sleaford Mods and my own perceived, helpless fall into material conformity. Don't let the Nottz get you down!		1:36:18 (Pop-up)
Portishead	Western Eyes "Western Eyes" by "Portishead"	Roseland NYC Live 25	Universal	2023	Sometimes a perfect record is ruined by remastering, however this release is actually...very welcome. It was released on 2 November 1998 by Go! Beat. Those who were lucky enough to see that show live marvelled at its brilliance in presenting what could be considered challenging live material so effortlessly and impactfully "i think the most important takeaway from Roseland is this - a good live performance is transformative. it feels like it means something - something that studio recordings just can't convey. for a live performance to be good, it has to evoke the latent feelings of your sound, your music, your identity...the energy, the passion, they make you feel like you're part of something bigger. something you can't get in the studio. for a moment, however long, a moment, you're there. watching. experiencing. living."		1:39:47 (Pop-up)
The Intelligence	The Limerance Whip	Limerance Whip Single	Vapid Moonlighting Inc.	2023	The Intelligence is another band who are most intruiguing. How do you possibly follow a perfect Portishead performance in a playlist. With this song that sounds like the beautiful alien child of the artist that preceded it. The full album is due to drop in early 2024....The Intelligence’s brand of art-smarm surf has become a touchstone for with-it rock ’n’ roll of the era. Perhaps a surprising assertion, especially considering their primitive and personal origins, but one cemented by the dedication and continual reinvention fostered by main-brain Lars Aldric Finberg. (A Frames, Dipers, Unnatural Helpers) For all their longevity and prolificacy, The Intelligence is a restless, ever-evolving vehicle for Finberg, showcasing his presumably patented knack for sharp pop songwriting that rides waves from both the past and heretofore unknown. They are evolving constantly and I am entranced with this current sound...	*	1:43:55 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Forever Pavot	Générique Fin "Générique Fin" by "Forever Pavot"	Simple Comme Sylvain OST	Mk2	2023	Released Nov 10 -- "Émile Sornin aka Forever Pavot is currently on an impressive release run. After composing the soundtracks for the films De Nos Frères Blessés by Hélier Cisterne in 2020 and Babysitter by Monia Chokri in 2022, he presented in March a new solo album, L'Idiophone on Born Bad Records, for which he has been touring Europe since its release. The Parisian multi-instrumentalist is already back on BMM with his third soundtrack for Monia Chokri's new film, Simple Comme Sylvain. //// "Monia came to me for her previous film Babysitter, she had listened a lot to my 2nd album La Pantoufle during the writing process and she wanted me to compose the music for her second film. As we got on very well, she contacted me again for her 3rd film Simple Comme Sylvain.""	*	1:48:47 (Pop-up)
Otay:onii	Overlap "Overlap" by "Otay:onii"	Dream Hacker	bié	2023	Lane Shi Otayonii is a Chinese musician, sound designer, film composer and installation artist. Otayonii was born in Haining, China and she says she was a naughty child, but certain life events silenced her as she was growing up, changing her into a shy, quiet person. After moving to America at 16, she pursued music and fronted Dent and Elizabeth Colour Wheel. Dream Hacker is an astral projection journey in the overlapping space where reality collides with dreams, or a black mass of shattered truths fluttering and swirling high above the ground. Her noise/improv-based approach to songwriting has, for now, been altered to a more structured and infectious ballad-oriented narrative, constantly enhanced by her stark vocal experimentation. As this dream odyssey winds on, she effortlessly switches between angelic healing tones and dreadful ritual howls, using her ample vocal textures to dictate the up and downs, cruelness and dreaminess in the lush tribal-percussion-led electronic orchestration. "My task is to solve a puzzle with another puzzle that can't be seen, be touched, but to feel." Hands down, one of the most beautiful songs we've ever played on this show.		1:54:49 (Pop-up)

	♥ 8:18pm DJ Babs: That’s worth the expense tho to be sure. VALUE FOR DOLLAR
	🏝 ♥ 8:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Cut The Slack" by "Colin Newman, Malka Spigel" This one reminds me very much of Read & Burn era Wire... Which makes sense, since it's unreleased from that era.
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Cut The Slack" by "Colin Newman, Malka Spigel" This song is a blast
	♥ 8:19pm DJ Babs: It really is!
	8:19pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:18 Worth it, regardless. They've been very kind to me over the years. Just hoping the shipping is not going to be crazy. Hate giving more to the courier or postal service than to the artist.
	🏝 ♥ 8:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:19 Good point.
	♥ 8:20pm DJ Babs: It is so crazy how much tv on the radio guy sounds like Peter Gabriel at times…
	8:20pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:18 Yes, I agree, Derek. Has that 'Read & Burn' quality in the recording & song structure.
	♥ 8:22pm DJ Babs: Lol anyone else notice that the ID pic for this song on the player is actually a picture of Crystal Gayle?
	🏝 ♥ 8:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Quartz" by "TV on the Radio" This reminds me, I mentioned this on another playback, maybe Blumin's, that there should be an alt-stream of just isolated sounds from robot fights called Battlebots On The Radio
	8:22pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:20 I hear what you mean. PG often reminds me of 'Heard It Throught The Grapevine'-era Marvin Gaye.
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:22 That sounds interesting! Relaxing for some I suppose?!
	8:23pm Tyler: ↳ Tyler @8:20 It was probably left off 'Bastard' because it is mostly instrumental.
	🏝 ♥ 8:25pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "More Coda" by "Blonde Redhead" Is this the end music from the Rick & Morty where Rick was gunna kill.... okay!

	8:52pm laurapanic: mooooooooooooooog
	8:53pm Tyler: This is some pretty choice Moog...
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Babs: literally this is the best description of what my inner brain workings are lol
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Babs: Hello and welcome Bob!!
	8:54pm Tyler: Speaking of tickling the old Moog diodes, I just had a Walter (now Wendy) Carlos double-record arrive from Quebec. It's a work of art...
	🏝 ♥ 8:59pm Scott_Oz: Yooz guys pots got Wok Hei!!
	9:04pm Tyler: WIRE! YEAH!
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm Tom P: ↳ Tyler @9:04 Agreed - YEAH!!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tom P @9:05 YEAH!!!!!
	♥ 9:07pm DJ Babs: Lol I’m glad everyone is having fun. Also this song SLAPS
	♥ 9:09pm DJ Babs: This is timely as my work is currently selling off cheap TVS
	9:10pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:09 You could easily make a box set of songs about TV :)
	♥ 9:10pm DJ Babs: I thought we already did a TV themed show!
	9:10pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "TV" by "FM Berlin" I like this too, yes! Good Vocallist
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: There was a ton of debate on this song this week
	🏝 ♥ 9:11pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi DJ Babs and Derek!!!
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: Hello hello Will!
	🏝 ♥ 9:11pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:07 pa1.narvii.com...
	♥ 9:12pm DJ Babs: There’s a lot going on but they make it work.
	🏝 ♥ 9:12pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:10 No Babs, we did a "theme" themed show. Sheesh. Haha.
	♥ 9:12pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:11 😆😆😆
	🏝 ♥ 9:12pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @9:11 Hello Will Thee! How are the sounds treating you these days?
	🏝 ♥ 9:12pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:11 ...or maybe tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com...
	9:13pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:12 T.V. PARTY TONIGHT!
	🏝 ♥ 9:13pm gsdoubleu: this rocks!
	♥ 9:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:12 Of course we did!
	🏝 ♥ 9:13pm ultradamno: (those are my two go-to slaps)
	♥ 9:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ gsdoubleu @9:13 Epic vocals for sure!
	♥ 9:14pm DJ Babs: Derek’s gettin all hip with the modern indie! I like it!
	♥ 9:16pm DJ Babs: This has a late Roxy music kinda swagger to it.
	♥ 9:18pm DJ Babs: Derek's constant playing of this last week has led me to revise my opinion of this tune greatly...
	🏝 ♥ 9:19pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Television Man" by "Talking Heads" Takin me baaack there!!!
	9:20pm Tyler: Don't have this Talking Heads album. I've got to fill in some of the gaps in my collection. I only recently released that one of my favourite TH songs 'Love -> Building On Fire' does not actually appear on any of their albums.
	🏝 ♥ 9:20pm ultradamno: I like the television man in Satisfaction better, once I forgave him for not smoking the same brand of cigarettes as me.
	🏝 ♥ 9:20pm ultradamno: ...I've evolved on the issue.
	9:20pm Tyler: *realized
	♥ 9:22pm DJ Babs: That's a good way of putting it. I don't think it's David's most deep insights lyrically, and musically it's sooo clunky and 80's but it does have a certain charm!
	9:22pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Television Man" by "Talking Heads" LOVELOVELOVE
	🏝 ♥ 9:23pm ultradamno: Chrissie Hynde disrobing Joan Jett mastodon.social...
	9:24pm Tyler: Derek's Doubling Down on the Television Man :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm ultradamno: Devo dressing Joey Ramone mastodon.social...
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm Scott_Oz: Always repeats on TV!
	9:25pm Tyler: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:24 Television Man (The Re-Run Mix) :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:29pm ultradamno: A CD song Kitten played just last week, I think.
	🏝 ♥ 9:29pm northguineahills: tardy to the party!
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm northguineahills: should have paired tv priest w/ tv on the radio...
	🏝 ♥ 9:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Television Fission" by "Man Or Astro-Man?" I have seen man or astroman ? live 5 times (from hs past uni)
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm northguineahills: w/ two mics, you can create some serious ECHO beach!
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm northguineahills: my problem is there is too much space in my head, not enough grey matter, hence the echo...
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm ultradamno: Ex-Lion Tamers, with the music critic who was instrumental in bringing down R Kelly Jim DeRogatis gojohnnygojohnny.wordpress.com...
	9:35pm Tyler: Didn't realize that 'Man Or Astro-man?' are from Alabama.
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm Scott_Oz: What is this 'non-alcoholic' beverage you speak of Babs?? 🍻😎🤙💨🍷
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm ultradamno: Jim DeRogatis: The thorn in R. Kelly's side www.bbc.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:30 TV Priest were definitely in the running this week... Just one of those things that falls by the wayside due to following random whims...
	♥ 9:36pm DJ Babs: Heya NGH!!!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm ultradamno: (by the way...starting to look like P. Diddler has sex trafficking problems)
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:35 i saw daikaiju last week. it's rumored one of the guitarists was from man or astromman? as the band was originally from huntsville (now houston). I didn't recognize any of the band members (hung out w/ them until 2am), so, i believe that rumor is bunk...
	♥ 9:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:35 haha! I'm super enjoying my weekly bottle of wine! (the first of two lol)
	♥ 9:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:36 noooooooooowaaaaay but not surprised
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:35 "water, like you use in the toilet?"
	9:38pm Tyler: ↳ northguineahills @9:37 Well, I hope you had a good time, regardless...
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:33 I bet Man Or Astroman? were great live. I was lucky enough to see Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet dozens of times through the 80's & 90's. Not that all surf bands are the same. Or, as Shadowy Men on A Shadowy Planet pointed out in one of their song titles "We're Not A Fucking Surf Band" ... youtu.be...
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm ultradamno: He may want to come up with yet another name soon.
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:38 first live show from an out of town band i've been to since before the pandemic (a wfmuer gave me the heads up, another, bought me the ticket).
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm ultradamno: www.bbc.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:39 Fantastic! And hello NGH! Hello!
	🏝 ♥ 9:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:39 yeah, i saw MoAM? 5 times b/tn '94 and '99....
	9:42pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:39 @Babs - that was another great Sleaford Mods song. Don't have the latest record, but thanks for reminding me to track it down...
	🏝 ♥ 9:42pm Scott_Oz: ↳ northguineahills @9:37 That's disgusting! I always dribble from the bowl. 🍻😎🤙🚽
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Western Eyes" by "Portishead" oh my, beth gibbons!
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Western Eyes" by "Portishead" Takin me to places I used to dwell!
	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: there's a bit of the wine slip slops here on occasion... let's just say my pristine single girl white couch didn't last long lol
	🏝 ♥ 9:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:42 not your your bow(e)l(es)?
	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: This tune CMOOOOONNN
	🏝 ♥ 9:44pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Western Eyes" by "Portishead" Took out the 'record crackle' effect if I'm not mistaken?
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:44 i take it you shouldn't dress like tom wolfe when claret is in hand...😉
	♥ 9:45pm DJ Babs: Then you say to yourself "babs how can I possibly play a song that's as good as that portishead tune" AND THEN YOU FIND IT
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:44 aye, it's live (that's why i use christian marclay's 'record w/o a cover' for such occasions)
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:44 The 'record crackle' effect in the 00's is the best... So good in the digital era.
	🏝 ♥ 9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "The Limerance Whip" by "The Intelligence" This is so excellent... Been meaning to investigate more of what he's been releasing!
	9:50pm Tyler: @Babs that The Intelligence song was excellent!
	🏝 ♥ 9:54pm northguineahills: Babs and Derek, thank you so much! amazing fun! /sleaford mods, forest lads they are!
	9:54pm Tyler: Are the Sleaford Mods descendants of Robin Hood & The Merry Men? :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:55pm northguineahills: nottingham forest is a fave footie club of mine (many americans play for them)
