Music behind DJ: Bungah Cantik	DJ the Day After Valentine	DJ the Day After Valentine	Prostreet Digital	2023	No idea what this is exactly, or why it exists, but it does apply pretty specifically to this exact moment.		0:02:44 (Pop-up)
David Bowie	Valentine's Day "Valentine's Day" by "David Bowie"	The Next Day	Columbia / Sony	2013	Once again, pretty specific to this moment once you put the song title & album title together. ""Valentine's Day" is a song by English rock musician David Bowie, the fourth single from his 25th studio album The Next Day. The single was released on 19 August 2013. This was to be Bowie's final 7-inch single issued from a new album released in his lifetime. The lyrics are based on the psychology of a school shooter." ""Valentine's Day" was one of the final songs recorded for The Next Day. The backing track was recorded on 24 July 2012 at the Magic Shop in New York City, while Bowie's vocals were recorded on 18 September 2012 at Human Worldwide Studios in New York City." "The video for "Valentine's Day" was directed by Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri and Markus Klinko, who previously collaborated with Bowie on his 2002 album Heathen. It features Bowie in the abandoned Red Hook Grain Terminal in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. In the video, Bowie plays a G2T Hohner guitar while performing the song. Many commentators contrasted the video with the controversial preceding video for "The Next Day" and described it as more "subdued" in comparison. However, visual hints towards gun violence and the NRA were also noted, suggesting the video was conveying a subtle anti-gun message." David Bowie - Valentine's Day (Video)		0:07:18 (Pop-up)
Mekons	Kill "Kill" by "Mekons"	The Quality Of Mercy Is Not Strnen (+ 6 Extra tracks)	Virgin	1980 / 1990	From a 1980 double 7", in this edition appended to their debut 1979 album in all its digitally crushed 1990 reissue glory. I love this period of The Mekons dearly. This song is amongst my favourites. A sweet Valentine's appropriate song where he urges his darling/sweetheart/loved one to "Kill"... Likely based on some headline of the day or somesuch.		0:10:20 (Pop-up)

No Teeth	I Can't Explain (Why I Call It Love)	I Can't Explain (Why I Call It Love)	Blank Expression Records	2023	"For too long we have waited, sat stagnant and cantankerous in our estates, waiting for the phone to ring. Since the purging Nuisance, you have all asked "Where are they?" or "Why won't they answer?". Now finally, it is our pleasure to announce "I Can't Explain (Why I Call It Love)", the syndicate's latest 2-track charade. With the inevitability of their recently completed debut LP, this release will hopefully offer enough tantalising sanctity from the dwelling mundanity of the day-to-day to last until the pin finally drops." "Trudging forth from the mire of discontent, Ousecore's most notorious rapscallions emerge with new facts. Impatiently anticipating their debut full-length liturgy, the syndicate proposes an offering; 'I Can't Explain (Why I Call It Love)', a double-single expunged from the gut of Sheffield's Blank Expression Records... It's a tale of familiar foreboding percussion and waltzing synths but also uncharacteristic melody and newfound orchestral heights from the breath of Dobbly Groast."

Country Teasers	Deaths "Deaths" by "Country Teasers"	Secret Weapons Revealed At Last	In The Red Recordings In In The Red RecordingsThe Red Recordings	2003	"Country Teasers were an art punk band formed in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1993. //// Frontman Ben Wallers also performs solo as The Rebel. He plays live shows with a Gameboy backing-track or accompanied by Country Teasers bassist Sophie Politowicz on drums. //// Long-time members of Country Teasers include songwriter B.R. Wallers (vocals, guitar), Leighton Crook (drums), Robert McNeill (guitar, synth), Alastair MacKinven (guitar), Sophie Politowicz (bass guitar, drums). Original members of the band include playwright Simon Stephens (bass guitar), Alan Crichton (guitar), Eck King (drums), Lawrence Worthington (drums). Sometime member Richard Greenan (guitar) plays with the band. //// Early Country Teasers albums were characterised by literate, scathingly satirical lyrics and discordant, repetitive sound – like William S. Burroughs leading Joy Division or The Fall through a setlist of art-damaged country and western songs. //// Later Teasers releases branched out to "abuse not only country and western but every other genre they can get their hands on, including rap, goth, punk, folk, disco, electronic, and noise," leading to comparisons with other home-recording deconstructionists like Royal Trux, Butthole Surfers and Ween. //// Frontman and songwriter Ben Wallers's lyrics have elicited comparisons to Jonathan Swift, Bill Hicks and Chris Morris, provoking the audience with unorthodox standpoints and purposefully offensive vocabulary in order to force them to question their own opinions. In the words of a writer on the Drowned in Sound website, ""Evil country outfit" Country Teasers are led by the enigmatic singer/guitarist BR Wallers. Their discordant aural assault is filled out with bitingly ironic lyrics, poking fun at racism and sexism by inhabiting the minds of the losers that purvey these attitudes." "Like moralistic ’80s punks Crass, the Country Teasers make their statement, but they use humor to do it, as opposed to histrionic art-house punk screech… They find your comfort zone and blissfully stomp all over it." //// The Teasers' live shows are infamously unpredictable fusions of alcohol-or-whatever-fueled unprofessionalism and high-concept performance art, or in the words of the New York Press: "Country Teasers does art better than Sonic Youth and drunkenness better than The Pogues—and doesn’t need art or liquor to be confrontational bastards." //// Country Teasers are often compared to The Fall, although as Static Party's Ryan W points out, "it's not in the chord structures or the Northern (UK) accent, it's in the feel they create akin to the early Fall records that a truly creative brain is battering against resistance (self or other) to create something meaningful to itself. If you get something from it as well... Art! Put on a CT record and read the Maakies comics, it's better than bread and chocolate.""		0:22:22 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: George Cables	Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow	Looking For The Light	MuseFX Records	2003	"Cables was born in New York City, United States. He was initially taught piano by his mother. He then studied at the High School of Performing Arts and later at Mannes College (1963–65). He formed the Jazz Samaritans at the age of 18, a band that included Billy Cobham, Steve Grossman, and Clint Houston. Cables' early influences on piano were Thelonious Monk and Herbie Hancock. //// He has played with Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Art Pepper, Joe Henderson, and other well-established jazz musicians. His own records include the 1980 Cables' Vision with Freddie Hubbard among others. From 1983, Cables worked in the project Bebop & Beyond. He left later in the 1980s, but returned for guest appearances on two early 1990s albums, before rejoining in 1998. Cables is a charter member of The Cookers band, founded in 2010, which includes leading jazz composers and players like Billy Harper, Eddie Henderson, David Weiss, Donald Harrison, Cecil McBee, Billy Hart and others."		0:26:52 (Pop-up)
Gang of Four	Love Like Anthrax "Love Like Anthrax" by "Gang of Four"	Entertainment!	Parlophone	1979	Entertainment! is the debut album by English post-punk band Gang of Four, Stylistically, it draws heavily on punk rock but also incorporates the influence of funk, dance music, reggae and dub. Its lyrics and artwork reflected the band's left-wing political concerns. It would be an influential release in the burgeoning post-punk movement with Rolling Stone listing it as one of the top 500 albums of all time and the fifth best album of 1979 by NME.. he album was co-produced by King and Gill along with Rob Warr, their band manager at the time. King's lyrics were heavily influenced by Situationism, feminism, and the effect of alienation on personal life; a unifying notion is that "the personal is political".		0:34:43 (Pop-up)

Love Fiend	BBB "BBB" by "Love Fiend"	BBB Single	Gonzo Music	2022	4 piece Love Fiend hail from sunny California. Motorik Krauty goodness with some edge. Says Osees John Dwyer, witness to their live show: "My drummer and I went to the bar for a drink and while we were boring each other silly outside of Zebulon, a sound kept washing out every time someone opened the venue door. That would be Love Fiend. We were like moths to the flame. What a great fucking band. Every song is hook-heaven. Every member and what they bring to the stage is the perfect piece in the puzzle for raw punk poppy hits. Gary Numan, The Cars, Magazine, Devo: these are all the ghosts that hang around in the air. With a real contemporary-weirdo twist to them....		0:44:18 (Pop-up)
Klaus Nomi	I Feel Love (Live) "I Feel Love (Live)" by "Klaus Nomi"	In Concert	Spindizzy Music	1986	This bananas version of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" is a live performance recorded at Hurrah's, New York, in 1979. It's sloppy, irreverent both to disco and classical music...off the rails, unhinged and strangely beautiful...pure Klaus Nomi.		0:48:35 (Pop-up)
Bingo Gazingo	I Love You So Much I Can't Shit	Bingo Gazingo	Bingo Gazingo	1996	Murray Wachs (June 2, 1924 – January 1, 2010), better known as Bingo Gazingo, was a poet from New York City, who was a postal worker for most of his career. Two versions, each also titled Bingo Gazingo, were released of the only single-artist album ever released by WFMU—the first on cassette, the second on CD. The album consists of Bingo's reading his poems to an improvised musical accompaniment by WFMU DJs R. Stevie Moore, Bob Brainen, Dennis Diken, Dave Amels, Chris Bolger and Chris Butler, and engineered by Amels. Often, while performing live, the background music to his frantic, poetic incantations is nothing more than a cassette tape inserted into a cheap cigar-box tape recorder and miked. Bingo's poetry often contains complicated rhyme schemes, extended stream-of-consciousness rambling, and crude language, with titles like "Up Your Jurassic Park" and "I Love You So Fucking Much I Can't Shit". He penned hyper-caffeinated odes to Madonna, Tupac Shakur, and Beavis and Butthead, among others. Born in Queens in 1924, Bingo Gazingo wrote music for most of his life, struggling on the edge of obscurity. He continued to actively write, record and perform perverse, edgy music until the day he died (New Year's Day 2010) at 85 years old, struck down by a cab on his way to perform at the Bowery Poetry Club.		0:54:08 (Pop-up)

Ash Wednesday	Love By Numbers "Love By Numbers" by "Ash Wednesday"	Can't Stop It! Australian Post-Punk 1978-82	Chapter Music	1980 / 2001	Ash Wednesday is an Australian musician, who played in JAB, Models and Einstürzende Neubauten. //// Wednesday was a founding member of JAB, an Australian punk rock band, in Adelaide in January 1976. The band's original lineup consisted of Bohdan X (Bodhan Kubiakowski) on guitar and vocals, Wednesday playing bass guitar, synthesizer and tapes and Johnny Crash (Janis Friedenfelds) on drums and vocals. The band took its name from the first initials of the founding members. The band relocated to Melbourne in August 1977. JAB signed to Suicide Records in January 1978, and two of their songs, "Blonde and Bombed" and "Let's Go", were included on the Lethal Weapons compilation. The band played their final show in August 1978 at the Crystal Ballroom (then known as the Seaview Ballroom), which was also the first gig ever played at the now iconic venue. //// Wednesday, Crash and Pierre Voltaire then joined Sean Kelly (ex-Teenage Radio Stars) to form the first line-up of Models. The initial version of the group did not stay together for long as Voltaire was soon replaced on bass guitar by Mark Ferrie (ex-Myriad), then in August 1979, Wednesday was replaced by Andrew Duffield (ex-Whirlywirld) on keyboards. //// In 1980 he released a solo single, "Love By Numbers" and produced four songs with vocalist Karen Marks (the manager of Models and JAB). That year he also joined experimental outfit The Metronomes with rock journalist Al Webb (guitar, synthesiser; ex-Streetlife)and Andrew Picouleau (bass, synthesiser; Secret Police, Sacred Cowboys), having previously been an invited guest with the band. The Metronomes released two singles, "Saturday Night"/"Sunday Morning" (1979), "A Circuit Like Me"/"Closed Circuit" (1980) and two albums, Multiple Choice (1981) and Regular Guys (1985) on the Cleopatra label. The band was never intended to be a live outfit and only ever came together in the studio. Around 2000 the members began work on a new project and after four years of sporadic effort released a new album, Today. This was followed by a re-release of the band's first two albums and an EP (comprising the band's two singles), as a single release, The Ballad of the Metronomes, in 2010. //// Concurrently Wednesday collaborated with T.E. Power (Nuv Bloc) on a project titled Thealonian Music, using the latest electronic instruments of the time. The concept being to generate music of a spontaneous nature, with the rhythmic foundation being provided by a programmable drum machine, sequence and synthesizer combination. Thealonian Music only produced one release, the 1982 tape, Project X Chromosome X. Throughout the early 1980s, he was a member of Modern Jazz, an improvisation group who performed to randomly generated techno beats. Modern Jazz featured a fluid line-up that included Lyn Gordon (synthesiser), Andrew Park (synthesiser) and Ted Thornbury (vocals). The band played 1980s techno music and issued one album, The Nude, on the Cleopatra label in 1986. //// In 1988 he and Lyn Gordon formed electronic / industrial band Crashland, composed of Lyn Gordon (vocal, guitar), Wednesday (sampler), Ray Moore (drums) and Phil Sutherland (bass). A year after their formation, Crashland signed a deal with Regular Records which resulted in the release of their first single, "Cherry Bomb"/"Elvis Working" in October 1989. Crashland's self-titled debut album comprised half original material and half covers, was released in April 1990, together with the band's second single, a demented electro remodelling of John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom"/"On T.V.". //// Wednesday moved to Berlin in 1992, where he worked with Nina Hagen, being involved with pre-production and programming for her 1995 album, FreuD euch ("Bee Happy"). //// In 1997, Wednesday became a touring member of German band Einstürzende Neubauten. He completed several world tours with them and is present on their live albums, such as 09-15-2000, Brussels and numerous recordings from the Perpetuum Mobile tour (2004). Eventually departing in 2013. //// In 1999 he returned to Melbourne and formed The Tingler, with Crashland vocalist Lyn Gordon. The Tingler releasing a self-titled album in April 2000. The Tingler also featured on the bill during the Models 2000/2001 reunion shows. //// In 2013 he was to perform solo as The Ash Wednesday Effect, a spontaneously performed audio/visual experience, in which improvised soundscapes triggered entrancing visualisation, which were in turn projected onto Wednesday's physical form. The performances at Club Voltaire, North Melbourne were continuous three-hour pieces, throughout which audience members were free to come and go as they chose. //// Wednesday, Crash and Pierre Voltaire then joined Sean Kelly (ex-Teenage Radio Stars) to form the first line-up of Models. The initial version of the group did not stay together for long as Voltaire was soon replaced on bass guitar by Mark Ferrie (ex-Myriad), then in August 1979, Wednesday was replaced by Andrew Duffield (ex-Whirlywirld) on keyboards.		1:06:39 (Pop-up)

He has won many prizes since his debut, including six Félix in 2005 and at least one in 2006. He is well known for his voice and his obscure, esoteric lyrics, which tend to be melancholic. Another distinctive characteristic of his lyrics is their literary style. Lapointe has created the persona of an egotistical dandy on stage, but he does this mostly to deflect attention from himself." -- Barbara: Arranged By – Philippe Brault, Pierre Lapointe // Drums – Jean-Phi Goncalves // Programmed By, Piano – Philippe Brault // Vocals – Pierre Lapointe		1:17:27 (Pop-up)

He made a number of releases on the Island Records and Crab Records labels. //// In the late 1940s, Bennett led his own band, the Val Bennett Orchestra.

Bennett was also a regular studio session musician, appearing on many releases from artists including Theophilus Beckford, Pat Kelly, Barrington Levy, and Delroy Wilson. Bennett's session work included saxophone, horn, and trombone. In the late 1960s, Bennett joined Bunny Lee's "All Stars". //// Notable tracks by Bennett include "The Russians Are Coming" (1968), a cover of "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, which would later go on to be used as the theme tune to the British television series The Secret Life of Machines in the late-1980s; and "Tons Of Gold" (1970), with the Harry J Allstars, a version of their track "The Liquidator".

After reading an interview with German producer Reinhold Mack, band founder Jack Stratton conceived of Vulfpeck as an imagined German version of the U.S. session musicians of the 1960s such as the Funk Brothers, the Wrecking Crew, and the Swampers. The idea was to channel that era of the live rhythm section. //// The band's founding members are Jack Stratton on keyboards, drums and guitar, Theo Katzman on guitar, drums and occasionally vocals, Woody Goss on keyboards, and Joe Dart on bass.

Luie Luie	El Touchy "El Touchy" by "Luie Luie"	Touchy	Penstar	1974	Once (self-billed) as The Greatest Single Act in the World – and who are we to argue? – Luie Luie began life as Californian Luis Johnston. He was a painter (that's his own work on the cover) and musician, who during the 70s 80s and 90s played his own blend of Mariachi-infused lounge-bar easy-listening in nightclubs and bars across America. His catalogue runs to just a handful of 45s and this solitary self-funded LP that sold no more than 25 copies when it was released in 1974. Luie's unique gift was both a wonderful blessing and a terrible curse. A blessing in that he was able to so completely realise his own vision, but a curse in the sense that his vision is often so astonishingly cock-eyed. Multi-tracking is undoubtedly a wonderful invention, but Luie generally sounds like he's in competition, rather than in tune with himself. But none of those criticisms should give you the impression that Touchy isn't a great record, because it surely is. The man is a fucking genius.		1:37:02 (Pop-up)
Alex Chilton, Ben Vaughn, Alan Vega	Lover Of Love	Cubist Blues	Thirsty Ear	1994	Cubist Blues this week, a moment-in-time meeting of music legends with no lone sonic precedent. The three players never intended to form any super-group or permanent project when they recorded these songs in 1994, and the album cover only lists their names—but this meeting of the minds captures a power on acetate that reinforces Ben Vaughn, Alex Chilton and Alan Vega’s earned spot in the storied canon of American music. Cubist Blues was conceived through Ben Vaughn and Alex Chilton’s mutual love of Alan Vega’s music, when the two bonded over Vega’s 1989 solo tune “Jukebox Baby” and agreed that Vega’s voice was built for the blues. Vaughn thought of Vega as a character lifted straight out of film noir—a salty, jaded urbanite who’d seen and done it all. So Vaughn booked Dessau Studio in downtown New York for a one-off, impulsive recording session of New York Blues. With everything set up, he and Chilton brought in the enigmatic Vega, accompanying him all night in the dark and improvising off of Vega’s wild energy. Vaughn explains how Vega has a knack for bringing people with him into that state of mind. “Working with Alan is like working in a fever dream,” he says. “We were creating a vacuum. No one was really listening or paying attention to music that sounded like what we were doing. I don’t even know what it was we did, to tell you the truth. We went into the zone for two days and came out like, huh? What happened?” Keenly aware of his power to induce such states, Vega nonetheless sees his process as fairly run-of-the-mill. “To me it was always, I shit brown, I piss yellow, I bleed blood red,” he says. “I swear to god I make commercial records. But the world doesn’t want to accept it!”		1:38:27 (Pop-up)

Plus Instruments	Special "Special" by "Plus Instruments"	Bodies EP	Emotional Rescue	2015	Plus Instruments' existence spans over the last 4 decades. Established in 1978 by Truus de Groot in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, amidst the explosion of Punk Rock. Even though Truus was very active in that genre and “New Wave” as well, the more experimental side gradually took over and the concept of Plus Instruments was born.

John Cooper Clarke	I Wanna Be Yours	Zip Style Method	Epic	1982	John Cooper Clarke shot to prominence in the 1970s as the original ‘people’s poet’. His unique poetry and delivery style was recorded and put to music by legendary producer Martin Hannett and a band of Mancunian stars, including Buzzcocks Peter Shelley and The Durutti Column’s Vini Reilly, masquerading as The Invisible Girls. JCC’s early live shows were renowned occasions. He headlined gigs with support from many soon to be superstars, including Joy Division, New Order and Duran Duran. He himself featured as special guest on many shows by the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and The Clash, as well as carving his own unique niche as a stand up poet.		1:58:01 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ: Bungah Cantik	DJ the Day After Valentine	DJ the Day After Valentine	Prostreet Digital	2023	No idea what this is exactly, or why it exists, but it does apply pretty specifically to this exact moment.		0:02:44 (Pop-up)
David Bowie	Valentine's Day "Valentine's Day" by "David Bowie"	The Next Day	Columbia / Sony	2013	Once again, pretty specific to this moment once you put the song title & album title together. ""Valentine's Day" is a song by English rock musician David Bowie, the fourth single from his 25th studio album The Next Day. The single was released on 19 August 2013. This was to be Bowie's final 7-inch single issued from a new album released in his lifetime. The lyrics are based on the psychology of a school shooter." ""Valentine's Day" was one of the final songs recorded for The Next Day. The backing track was recorded on 24 July 2012 at the Magic Shop in New York City, while Bowie's vocals were recorded on 18 September 2012 at Human Worldwide Studios in New York City." "The video for "Valentine's Day" was directed by Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri and Markus Klinko, who previously collaborated with Bowie on his 2002 album Heathen. It features Bowie in the abandoned Red Hook Grain Terminal in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. In the video, Bowie plays a G2T Hohner guitar while performing the song. Many commentators contrasted the video with the controversial preceding video for "The Next Day" and described it as more "subdued" in comparison. However, visual hints towards gun violence and the NRA were also noted, suggesting the video was conveying a subtle anti-gun message." David Bowie - Valentine's Day (Video)		0:07:18 (Pop-up)
Mekons	Kill "Kill" by "Mekons"	The Quality Of Mercy Is Not Strnen (+ 6 Extra tracks)	Virgin	1980 / 1990	From a 1980 double 7", in this edition appended to their debut 1979 album in all its digitally crushed 1990 reissue glory. I love this period of The Mekons dearly. This song is amongst my favourites. A sweet Valentine's appropriate song where he urges his darling/sweetheart/loved one to "Kill"... Likely based on some headline of the day or somesuch.		0:10:20 (Pop-up)

No Teeth	I Can't Explain (Why I Call It Love)	I Can't Explain (Why I Call It Love)	Blank Expression Records	2023	"For too long we have waited, sat stagnant and cantankerous in our estates, waiting for the phone to ring. Since the purging Nuisance, you have all asked "Where are they?" or "Why won't they answer?". Now finally, it is our pleasure to announce "I Can't Explain (Why I Call It Love)", the syndicate's latest 2-track charade. With the inevitability of their recently completed debut LP, this release will hopefully offer enough tantalising sanctity from the dwelling mundanity of the day-to-day to last until the pin finally drops." "Trudging forth from the mire of discontent, Ousecore's most notorious rapscallions emerge with new facts. Impatiently anticipating their debut full-length liturgy, the syndicate proposes an offering; 'I Can't Explain (Why I Call It Love)', a double-single expunged from the gut of Sheffield's Blank Expression Records... It's a tale of familiar foreboding percussion and waltzing synths but also uncharacteristic melody and newfound orchestral heights from the breath of Dobbly Groast."

Country Teasers	Deaths "Deaths" by "Country Teasers"	Secret Weapons Revealed At Last	In The Red Recordings In In The Red RecordingsThe Red Recordings	2003	"Country Teasers were an art punk band formed in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1993. //// Frontman Ben Wallers also performs solo as The Rebel. He plays live shows with a Gameboy backing-track or accompanied by Country Teasers bassist Sophie Politowicz on drums. //// Long-time members of Country Teasers include songwriter B.R. Wallers (vocals, guitar), Leighton Crook (drums), Robert McNeill (guitar, synth), Alastair MacKinven (guitar), Sophie Politowicz (bass guitar, drums). Original members of the band include playwright Simon Stephens (bass guitar), Alan Crichton (guitar), Eck King (drums), Lawrence Worthington (drums). Sometime member Richard Greenan (guitar) plays with the band. //// Early Country Teasers albums were characterised by literate, scathingly satirical lyrics and discordant, repetitive sound – like William S. Burroughs leading Joy Division or The Fall through a setlist of art-damaged country and western songs. //// Later Teasers releases branched out to "abuse not only country and western but every other genre they can get their hands on, including rap, goth, punk, folk, disco, electronic, and noise," leading to comparisons with other home-recording deconstructionists like Royal Trux, Butthole Surfers and Ween. //// Frontman and songwriter Ben Wallers's lyrics have elicited comparisons to Jonathan Swift, Bill Hicks and Chris Morris, provoking the audience with unorthodox standpoints and purposefully offensive vocabulary in order to force them to question their own opinions. In the words of a writer on the Drowned in Sound website, ""Evil country outfit" Country Teasers are led by the enigmatic singer/guitarist BR Wallers. Their discordant aural assault is filled out with bitingly ironic lyrics, poking fun at racism and sexism by inhabiting the minds of the losers that purvey these attitudes." "Like moralistic ’80s punks Crass, the Country Teasers make their statement, but they use humor to do it, as opposed to histrionic art-house punk screech… They find your comfort zone and blissfully stomp all over it." //// The Teasers' live shows are infamously unpredictable fusions of alcohol-or-whatever-fueled unprofessionalism and high-concept performance art, or in the words of the New York Press: "Country Teasers does art better than Sonic Youth and drunkenness better than The Pogues—and doesn’t need art or liquor to be confrontational bastards." //// Country Teasers are often compared to The Fall, although as Static Party's Ryan W points out, "it's not in the chord structures or the Northern (UK) accent, it's in the feel they create akin to the early Fall records that a truly creative brain is battering against resistance (self or other) to create something meaningful to itself. If you get something from it as well... Art! Put on a CT record and read the Maakies comics, it's better than bread and chocolate.""		0:22:22 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: George Cables	Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow	Looking For The Light	MuseFX Records	2003	"Cables was born in New York City, United States. He was initially taught piano by his mother. He then studied at the High School of Performing Arts and later at Mannes College (1963–65). He formed the Jazz Samaritans at the age of 18, a band that included Billy Cobham, Steve Grossman, and Clint Houston. Cables' early influences on piano were Thelonious Monk and Herbie Hancock. //// He has played with Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Art Pepper, Joe Henderson, and other well-established jazz musicians. His own records include the 1980 Cables' Vision with Freddie Hubbard among others. From 1983, Cables worked in the project Bebop & Beyond. He left later in the 1980s, but returned for guest appearances on two early 1990s albums, before rejoining in 1998. Cables is a charter member of The Cookers band, founded in 2010, which includes leading jazz composers and players like Billy Harper, Eddie Henderson, David Weiss, Donald Harrison, Cecil McBee, Billy Hart and others."		0:26:52 (Pop-up)
Gang of Four	Love Like Anthrax "Love Like Anthrax" by "Gang of Four"	Entertainment!	Parlophone	1979	Entertainment! is the debut album by English post-punk band Gang of Four, Stylistically, it draws heavily on punk rock but also incorporates the influence of funk, dance music, reggae and dub. Its lyrics and artwork reflected the band's left-wing political concerns. It would be an influential release in the burgeoning post-punk movement with Rolling Stone listing it as one of the top 500 albums of all time and the fifth best album of 1979 by NME.. he album was co-produced by King and Gill along with Rob Warr, their band manager at the time. King's lyrics were heavily influenced by Situationism, feminism, and the effect of alienation on personal life; a unifying notion is that "the personal is political".		0:34:43 (Pop-up)
Damo Suzuki	One and One Equal One	& Now, The London Evening News	Shambotic	2021	Damo Suzuki, the Japanese musician who spent a handful of memorable years as the lead singer of Can, died February 9th at the age of 74.

Love Fiend	BBB "BBB" by "Love Fiend"	BBB Single	Gonzo Music	2022	4 piece Love Fiend hail from sunny California. Motorik Krauty goodness with some edge. Says Osees John Dwyer, witness to their live show: "My drummer and I went to the bar for a drink and while we were boring each other silly outside of Zebulon, a sound kept washing out every time someone opened the venue door. That would be Love Fiend. We were like moths to the flame. What a great fucking band. Every song is hook-heaven. Every member and what they bring to the stage is the perfect piece in the puzzle for raw punk poppy hits. Gary Numan, The Cars, Magazine, Devo: these are all the ghosts that hang around in the air. With a real contemporary-weirdo twist to them....		0:44:18 (Pop-up)
Klaus Nomi	I Feel Love (Live) "I Feel Love (Live)" by "Klaus Nomi"	In Concert	Spindizzy Music	1986	This bananas version of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" is a live performance recorded at Hurrah's, New York, in 1979. It's sloppy, irreverent both to disco and classical music...off the rails, unhinged and strangely beautiful...pure Klaus Nomi.		0:48:35 (Pop-up)
Bingo Gazingo	I Love You So Much I Can't Shit	Bingo Gazingo	Bingo Gazingo	1996	Murray Wachs (June 2, 1924 – January 1, 2010), better known as Bingo Gazingo, was a poet from New York City, who was a postal worker for most of his career. Two versions, each also titled Bingo Gazingo, were released of the only single-artist album ever released by WFMU—the first on cassette, the second on CD. The album consists of Bingo's reading his poems to an improvised musical accompaniment by WFMU DJs R. Stevie Moore, Bob Brainen, Dennis Diken, Dave Amels, Chris Bolger and Chris Butler, and engineered by Amels. Often, while performing live, the background music to his frantic, poetic incantations is nothing more than a cassette tape inserted into a cheap cigar-box tape recorder and miked. Bingo's poetry often contains complicated rhyme schemes, extended stream-of-consciousness rambling, and crude language, with titles like "Up Your Jurassic Park" and "I Love You So Fucking Much I Can't Shit". He penned hyper-caffeinated odes to Madonna, Tupac Shakur, and Beavis and Butthead, among others. Born in Queens in 1924, Bingo Gazingo wrote music for most of his life, struggling on the edge of obscurity. He continued to actively write, record and perform perverse, edgy music until the day he died (New Year's Day 2010) at 85 years old, struck down by a cab on his way to perform at the Bowery Poetry Club.		0:54:08 (Pop-up)

Ash Wednesday	Love By Numbers "Love By Numbers" by "Ash Wednesday"	Can't Stop It! Australian Post-Punk 1978-82	Chapter Music	1980 / 2001	Ash Wednesday is an Australian musician, who played in JAB, Models and Einstürzende Neubauten. //// Wednesday was a founding member of JAB, an Australian punk rock band, in Adelaide in January 1976. The band's original lineup consisted of Bohdan X (Bodhan Kubiakowski) on guitar and vocals, Wednesday playing bass guitar, synthesizer and tapes and Johnny Crash (Janis Friedenfelds) on drums and vocals. The band took its name from the first initials of the founding members. The band relocated to Melbourne in August 1977. JAB signed to Suicide Records in January 1978, and two of their songs, "Blonde and Bombed" and "Let's Go", were included on the Lethal Weapons compilation. The band played their final show in August 1978 at the Crystal Ballroom (then known as the Seaview Ballroom), which was also the first gig ever played at the now iconic venue. //// Wednesday, Crash and Pierre Voltaire then joined Sean Kelly (ex-Teenage Radio Stars) to form the first line-up of Models. The initial version of the group did not stay together for long as Voltaire was soon replaced on bass guitar by Mark Ferrie (ex-Myriad), then in August 1979, Wednesday was replaced by Andrew Duffield (ex-Whirlywirld) on keyboards. //// In 1980 he released a solo single, "Love By Numbers" and produced four songs with vocalist Karen Marks (the manager of Models and JAB). That year he also joined experimental outfit The Metronomes with rock journalist Al Webb (guitar, synthesiser; ex-Streetlife)and Andrew Picouleau (bass, synthesiser; Secret Police, Sacred Cowboys), having previously been an invited guest with the band. The Metronomes released two singles, "Saturday Night"/"Sunday Morning" (1979), "A Circuit Like Me"/"Closed Circuit" (1980) and two albums, Multiple Choice (1981) and Regular Guys (1985) on the Cleopatra label. The band was never intended to be a live outfit and only ever came together in the studio. Around 2000 the members began work on a new project and after four years of sporadic effort released a new album, Today. This was followed by a re-release of the band's first two albums and an EP (comprising the band's two singles), as a single release, The Ballad of the Metronomes, in 2010. //// Concurrently Wednesday collaborated with T.E. Power (Nuv Bloc) on a project titled Thealonian Music, using the latest electronic instruments of the time. The concept being to generate music of a spontaneous nature, with the rhythmic foundation being provided by a programmable drum machine, sequence and synthesizer combination. Thealonian Music only produced one release, the 1982 tape, Project X Chromosome X. Throughout the early 1980s, he was a member of Modern Jazz, an improvisation group who performed to randomly generated techno beats. Modern Jazz featured a fluid line-up that included Lyn Gordon (synthesiser), Andrew Park (synthesiser) and Ted Thornbury (vocals). The band played 1980s techno music and issued one album, The Nude, on the Cleopatra label in 1986. //// In 1988 he and Lyn Gordon formed electronic / industrial band Crashland, composed of Lyn Gordon (vocal, guitar), Wednesday (sampler), Ray Moore (drums) and Phil Sutherland (bass). A year after their formation, Crashland signed a deal with Regular Records which resulted in the release of their first single, "Cherry Bomb"/"Elvis Working" in October 1989. Crashland's self-titled debut album comprised half original material and half covers, was released in April 1990, together with the band's second single, a demented electro remodelling of John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom"/"On T.V.". //// Wednesday moved to Berlin in 1992, where he worked with Nina Hagen, being involved with pre-production and programming for her 1995 album, FreuD euch ("Bee Happy"). //// In 1997, Wednesday became a touring member of German band Einstürzende Neubauten. He completed several world tours with them and is present on their live albums, such as 09-15-2000, Brussels and numerous recordings from the Perpetuum Mobile tour (2004). Eventually departing in 2013. //// In 1999 he returned to Melbourne and formed The Tingler, with Crashland vocalist Lyn Gordon. The Tingler releasing a self-titled album in April 2000. The Tingler also featured on the bill during the Models 2000/2001 reunion shows. //// In 2013 he was to perform solo as The Ash Wednesday Effect, a spontaneously performed audio/visual experience, in which improvised soundscapes triggered entrancing visualisation, which were in turn projected onto Wednesday's physical form. The performances at Club Voltaire, North Melbourne were continuous three-hour pieces, throughout which audience members were free to come and go as they chose. //// Wednesday, Crash and Pierre Voltaire then joined Sean Kelly (ex-Teenage Radio Stars) to form the first line-up of Models. The initial version of the group did not stay together for long as Voltaire was soon replaced on bass guitar by Mark Ferrie (ex-Myriad), then in August 1979, Wednesday was replaced by Andrew Duffield (ex-Whirlywirld) on keyboards.		1:06:39 (Pop-up)

He has won many prizes since his debut, including six Félix in 2005 and at least one in 2006. He is well known for his voice and his obscure, esoteric lyrics, which tend to be melancholic. Another distinctive characteristic of his lyrics is their literary style. Lapointe has created the persona of an egotistical dandy on stage, but he does this mostly to deflect attention from himself." -- Barbara: Arranged By – Philippe Brault, Pierre Lapointe // Drums – Jean-Phi Goncalves // Programmed By, Piano – Philippe Brault // Vocals – Pierre Lapointe		1:17:27 (Pop-up)
Val Bennett	Barbara "Barbara" by "Val Bennett"	Dollar In The Teeth / Barbara	Upsetter	1968	Originally a white label 7" on the Upsetter Label, Lee Perry's involvement can easily be confirmed by the similarities the music shares with "People Funny Boy". ---- "Val Bennett (born Lovall Bennett, ?, died 1991) was a Jamaican tenor saxophonist and jazz and roots reggae musician who began his career in the 1940s. He made a number of releases on the Island Records and Crab Records labels. //// In the late 1940s, Bennett led his own band, the Val Bennett Orchestra.

The band also toured abroad, performing in countries including Haiti, where they picked up méringue and played it on their return to Jamaica. //// In the early to mid-1960s, Bennett was a regular member of Prince Buster's band, playing on many of the singer's best-known recordings, including "Al Capone". Bennett was also a regular studio session musician, appearing on many releases from artists including Theophilus Beckford, Pat Kelly, Barrington Levy, and Delroy Wilson. Bennett's session work included saxophone, horn, and trombone. In the late 1960s, Bennett joined Bunny Lee's "All Stars". //// Notable tracks by Bennett include "The Russians Are Coming" (1968), a cover of "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, which would later go on to be used as the theme tune to the British television series The Secret Life of Machines in the late-1980s; and "Tons Of Gold" (1970), with the Harry J Allstars, a version of their track "The Liquidator".

The band gained recognition in 2014 for releasing Sleepify, a silent album that exposed a loophole in Spotify's royalty distribution and funded an admission-free tour. The band is one of the first to sell out Madison Square Garden without a manager or backing label, and released the recorded performance as a live album in 2019. The band's most recent album, Schvitz, was released in December 2022. //// Background:The band members attended University of Michigan's music school. They first came together for a recording session[a] at the Duderstadt Center, a university facility that houses an arts library and other resources. After reading an interview with German producer Reinhold Mack, band founder Jack Stratton conceived of Vulfpeck as an imagined German version of the U.S. session musicians of the 1960s such as the Funk Brothers, the Wrecking Crew, and the Swampers. The idea was to channel that era of the live rhythm section. //// The band's founding members are Jack Stratton on keyboards, drums and guitar, Theo Katzman on guitar, drums and occasionally vocals, Woody Goss on keyboards, and Joe Dart on bass. Touring partners and frequent collaborators are Antwaun Stanley, Joey Dosik and Cory Wong. Other contributing musicians include Charles Jones, Christine Hucal, David T. Walker, Bernard Purdie, James Gadson and Blake Mills."		1:28:58 (Pop-up)

Their fourth six-track EP The Fearless Flyers IV was recorded at the Blue Note Jazz Club and issued in 2024. //// In 2019, band keyboardist Woody Goss released A Very Vulfy Christmas, a compilation of eight jazz-style rearrangements of Vulfpeck originals.

Luie Luie	El Touchy "El Touchy" by "Luie Luie"	Touchy	Penstar	1974	Once (self-billed) as The Greatest Single Act in the World – and who are we to argue? – Luie Luie began life as Californian Luis Johnston. He was a painter (that's his own work on the cover) and musician, who during the 70s 80s and 90s played his own blend of Mariachi-infused lounge-bar easy-listening in nightclubs and bars across America. His catalogue runs to just a handful of 45s and this solitary self-funded LP that sold no more than 25 copies when it was released in 1974. Luie's unique gift was both a wonderful blessing and a terrible curse. A blessing in that he was able to so completely realise his own vision, but a curse in the sense that his vision is often so astonishingly cock-eyed. Multi-tracking is undoubtedly a wonderful invention, but Luie generally sounds like he's in competition, rather than in tune with himself. But none of those criticisms should give you the impression that Touchy isn't a great record, because it surely is. The man is a fucking genius.		1:37:02 (Pop-up)
Alex Chilton, Ben Vaughn, Alan Vega	Lover Of Love	Cubist Blues	Thirsty Ear	1994	Cubist Blues this week, a moment-in-time meeting of music legends with no lone sonic precedent. The three players never intended to form any super-group or permanent project when they recorded these songs in 1994, and the album cover only lists their names—but this meeting of the minds captures a power on acetate that reinforces Ben Vaughn, Alex Chilton and Alan Vega’s earned spot in the storied canon of American music. Cubist Blues was conceived through Ben Vaughn and Alex Chilton’s mutual love of Alan Vega’s music, when the two bonded over Vega’s 1989 solo tune “Jukebox Baby” and agreed that Vega’s voice was built for the blues. Vaughn thought of Vega as a character lifted straight out of film noir—a salty, jaded urbanite who’d seen and done it all. So Vaughn booked Dessau Studio in downtown New York for a one-off, impulsive recording session of New York Blues. With everything set up, he and Chilton brought in the enigmatic Vega, accompanying him all night in the dark and improvising off of Vega’s wild energy. Vaughn explains how Vega has a knack for bringing people with him into that state of mind. “Working with Alan is like working in a fever dream,” he says. “We were creating a vacuum. No one was really listening or paying attention to music that sounded like what we were doing. I don’t even know what it was we did, to tell you the truth. We went into the zone for two days and came out like, huh? What happened?” Keenly aware of his power to induce such states, Vega nonetheless sees his process as fairly run-of-the-mill. “To me it was always, I shit brown, I piss yellow, I bleed blood red,” he says. “I swear to god I make commercial records. But the world doesn’t want to accept it!”		1:38:27 (Pop-up)

Plus Instruments	Special "Special" by "Plus Instruments"	Bodies EP	Emotional Rescue	2015	Plus Instruments' existence spans over the last 4 decades. Established in 1978 by Truus de Groot in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, amidst the explosion of Punk Rock. Even though Truus was very active in that genre and “New Wave” as well, the more experimental side gradually took over and the concept of Plus Instruments was born. Plus Instruments is still going strong!		1:46:40 (Pop-up)

John Cooper Clarke	I Wanna Be Yours	Zip Style Method	Epic	1982	John Cooper Clarke shot to prominence in the 1970s as the original ‘people’s poet’. His unique poetry and delivery style was recorded and put to music by legendary producer Martin Hannett and a band of Mancunian stars, including Buzzcocks Peter Shelley and The Durutti Column’s Vini Reilly, masquerading as The Invisible Girls. JCC’s early live shows were renowned occasions. He headlined gigs with support from many soon to be superstars, including Joy Division, New Order and Duran Duran. He himself featured as special guest on many shows by the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and The Clash, as well as carving his own unique niche as a stand up poet.		1:58:01 (Pop-up)
