Artist | Track | Album | Label | Comments | Special | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Set 1: a loooong set of psych, starting quiet and ending kinda fuzzed. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Brian Eno | Lizard Point (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) | Ambient 4: On Land | Virgin | Resonant, quiet & kind of druggy, romantic & dreamy. | ||||||
bethany curve | Jettison (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) | Flaxen | Kitchen Whore | Slow+ tempo, lush, builds a bit. | *** | |||||
zelienople | Corner Lot (track 6) (Listen: Pop-up) | Sleeper Coach | Loose Thread | Louder but dirge-like, instrumental, dark, but a bit floaty as well. | *** | |||||
Friends Of Dean Martinez | White Lake (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) | A Place In The Sun | Knitting Factory | Easy- tempo, you could call it active grindcore or slowish psych, quieter last :40. | ||||||
Bardo Pond | Quiet Tristin (track 4) (Listen: Pop-up) | Cypher Documents 1 | Three Lobed | Quietish and soft. | ||||||
Spectrum | Undo The Taboo (track 11) (Listen: Pop-up) | Live Chronicles Volume 2 (Tokyo Edition) | Space Age Recordings | Slow, druggy & dreamy, strong vocals in second half. | ||||||
F/i | Zombie In The Slave Trade (track 5) (Listen: Pop-up) | Blue Star / Merge Parlour | Lexicon Devil | Druggy and dark, slow, tabla-like sfx under -> easy+ tempo, heavy psych rock. | *** | |||||
Wire | Indirect Inquiries (track 12) (Listen: Pop-up) | 154 | Restless Retro | Slow+ tempo, could go to Brian Eno's Another Green World. But this time I didn't. | ||||||
Midnight Snake | acid wash (track 9) (Listen: Pop-up) | Electric Venom | Midnight Snake | We emerge from the darkness of this set: reverbed guitar -> fuller sound and the rest of the band comes in, almost elegiacal and pretty (not like anything else they do!), but still rough and fuzzed. | ||||||
Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music for it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | ||||||
Set 2: Bob & Ray: the absurdist old radio show portion of the evening, part 1. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Bob & Ray | (no title) (Listen: Pop-up) | From August 10, 1959, on some of CBS radio network: 1st show of 10 that day. | (no label) |
Here's a quote from John Dunning's On The Air: The Encyclopedia Of Old Time Radio:
"But at their best, in their 1959 - 60 daily series for CBS, they were as funny and fresh, as clever and witty, as anyone who ever used the medium....Using no script...." |

Set 3: funky stuff. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Bigga Bush vs. Kocani Orkestar | L'Orient Est Roots (track 9: ended at -0:09) (Listen: Pop-up) | Electric Gypsyland | Six Degrees | Smooth and dub-like. Idea behind the CD: get some of "today's most interesting electronic music producers" to reinterpret tracks from top gypsy brass bands. Most either don't really work well or are just good. This DJ knows how to compliment the music - not get in the way. | ||||||
Orlando Julius & His Afro Sounders | Alo Mi Alo (track 6) (Listen: Pop-up) | Orlando's Afro Ideas 1969 - 1972 | Eko Sound / Soundway | Perkier and snappier than many on this CD, easy+ tempo. | ||||||

The Black On White Affair | A Buch Of Changes (track 24) (Listen: Pop-up) | The Rustler Presents: Because You're Funky | Lo | Hard edged. | ||||||
Chris Joss | Wrong Alley Street (Part 3) (track 7) (Listen: Pop-up) | You've Been Spiked | Cristal Records | Heavy bass, hard driving, wakka-wakka guitar. | ||||||
Dynasonics | You Got It (track 19) (Listen: Pop-up) | The Rustler Presents: Because You're Funky | Lo | |||||||
Curly Davis & The Uniques | Black Cobra Part 2 (track 14) (Listen: Pop-up) | Chains And Black Exhaust | Memphix | Cheapo police siren sfx -> cooking, fairly high speed soul-funk, instrumental. | ||||||

Bob & Ray | (no title) (Listen: Pop-up) | From August 10, 1959, on some of CBS radio network: 3rd show of 10 that day. | (no label) | This episode features the 1 minute game show ad-lib on the word "enfoeffment". Fine absurdism, indeed. | *** | |||||

Grassy Knoll | My Little Back Book (track 3) (Listen: Pop-up) | Short Stories | sixty one sixty eight | Quiet first :45 or so, the fine Chris Grady plays the soft trumpet -> easy+ tempo, rapid treated vocals under. | ||||||
