Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from April 16, 2024 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

I'm reasonably acquainted with old school reggae, but not so much anything from 2018. Most of my musical choices were done out of complete ignorance, just looking for the food names, and then narrowing it down by whatever sounded good to me.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:25pm
Austin Rich:

When I was DJing in PDX, we had a long-running Sunday line-up, of a Reggae show that had been on since the station had gone on the air, and a ska show that had been on that long, too. I think there was an experimental show, and a rotating slot that had other reggae shows occasionally, and those two long-running shows. (Which were two-hours each.) I always think of that as a typical "sunday" line-up.

I also appreciate that this playlist has a LOT of newer music, by comparison. I think I tend to lean on stuff at LEAST 30 years old, and while there's some of that, I think this set features stuff newer than I usually pick. So for that, I am grateful.

I did make this instrumental, using that algorithm I mentioned. But you can still hear some "voices" in the background, no matter what I did.

"I'm already thinking about my next meal," is something I have said, before, to my partner, often. She says that she can't think about food if she has just eaten. I tell her there are few times I'm NOT thinking about food.

They're like Siouxsie twins, but a bit more cutesy.

Never heard the term “New Pop.” Thought it was just New Wave?

But then again, I didn’t read the British music rags at much.

I feel like these guys listened to The Spits and ran out to make an album.

I do like the audacity of someone naming their record label, "Total Punk Records."

I know I didn't provide you with label info, so good job looking all that up. I am struck by the obscurity of the labels for most of these acts.

We get to know bands outside the context of their label when we find everything online.
