This track (released July 10, 2024) -- available via https://martin-bisi.bandcamp.com/ -- was: "Inspired by the totality of a Solar Eclipse //// Voices recorded on day before the eclipse: Lindsay Tuttle, Lani Combier-Kapel, Mág Ne Tá Z’air, Martin Bisi //// see the video by Mág Ne Tá Z’air: youtu.be/ewTunpLwBE4?feature=shared //// In the eye of the kiwi bird is the total solar eclipse. This bird, a symbol of natural innocence and simplicity is witness to the spectacle of bizarre and disturbing human behavior - Who Is watching Whom ? //// as Mág Ne Tá Z'air describes it: This story is from the perspective of a kiwi bird. A woman meets an FBI agent who stretches out her breasts so that they hang low, like rocks in strong nylon tights. For the second part of the assignment, the woman hangs from a helicopter and is displayed in an air show above a lake. The sky sheds tears of suffering. Leigh Bowery appears to turn the situation around with some razzle dazzle. Briefly, the woman loses all of her senses and does not feel gravity. Afterwards, the helicopter carries the woman into the sunset. Nature passively observes."" ------- His show this Saturday in Toronto as follows: Saturday, September 14 //// includes a screening of the documentary Sound And Chaos: The Story Of BC Studio ///// Collective Arts Toronto / 777 Dundas St. W. / Toronto, Ontario //// with Flake --------------------- Find links to his shows / videos & pages here: http://www.martinbisi.com/	*
Pulp	The Will to Power "The Will to Power" by "Pulp"	Little Girl (With Blue Eyes) EP	Fire Records	1985	And so, the journey began with PULP in 1983 with their first releases. This song does not feature Jarvis on vocals..it's Russell Senior...and is a post punk dirge worthy of Wire...which makes sense for the time. Elements of future freakouts that you hear in subsequent songs...this is the blueprint right here. The lyrics of TWTP are deliberately provocative to an extent which is hard to justify. A popular story, reported as fact in Martin Aston’s book, says that the song had to be dropped from the band’s set after it attracted a skinhead following, but this is most likely to be either a joke or a massive exaggeration on Russell’s part – especially as it sounds suspiciously like a near-identical story about Cabaret Voltaire and their early track “Do The Mussolini (Headkick)”. Russell had the following to say about this in a '87 fanzine interview: To be honest, I wasn't too surprised at the Nazi flak we got. It is in fact a real commie anthem dedicated to Arthur Scargill and Nelson Mandela and the I.R.A. The reason it got Nazi flak is: It mentions 1933 (the year Hitler came to power). The title is also a book of Nietzsche writings compiled by the Nazis and taken out of context to try and prove their race theories. I look very similar to Adolph Hitler(!). On a couple of occasions I've had to dash out of my local when yobbos started chanting 'Zieg Heil!' and taking the piss.		0:05:32 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Pulp	OU (Gone Gone 12" Mix) "OU (Gone Gone 12" Mix)" by "Pulp"	Intro: The Gift Recordings	Island Records	1993	Skipping ahead a decade, we (sadly) glossed over their foray into the electronica/rave themes...this era takes on full krautrock and Stereolab vibes...but also hints at what to come. Jarvis has made his way from awkward young pervert to a man who has just bought a velvet suit, and is out to party. The party has begun for Pulp...yeah yeah yeah yeah! First debuted in 1991, the liner notes on this recording lead as follows: ...so we finally made it into orbit (good init?). But like the man said "Space is O.K. but I'd rather get my kicks down below." One re-entry later and now it's a choice between an extra hour in bed or stopping the love of your life from getting the next train out of town. Took too long deciding what shirt to wear and blew it. But hold on, who's this walking out of the sun? It can't be - but it is. Talk about leaving it till the last minute. O.U. jammy get...		0:08:57 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Nick Cave	Disco 2000 - Pub Rock Version	Different Class (Deluxe Edition)	Universal	1995	Post His and Hers Babies, Lipgloss, Different Class was the pinnacle of Pulp's songwriting, themes and ability to write universally appealing pop hooks. Pervy Jarvis isn't' the weirdo hiding in your sister's closet anymore...it's out for all to see, love and embrace. So much so, that Nick Cave found reason to cover this song....twice. The Pulp party is in full swing here, all the drugs, all the highs, all the sleaze, and all the fun...."The fountain down the road" probably refers to the Goodwin Fountain which stood at the end of Fargate in the centre of Sheffield. Anyone wanting to meet there in the year 2000 would have been disappointed because it was demolished by the City Council in 1998 and replaced by a new one in the Peace Gardens.		0:12:38 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Pulp	This Is Hardcore "This Is Hardcore" by "Pulp"	This Is Hardcore	Universal Records	1998	One of the greatest songs ever. This is the end of the party line for Pulp. Pervy Jarv is sexed out, drugged out, and done with it all. His velvet suit now tattered and torn along with his dreams, his hopes and his very psyche. Feathered showgirls jostle him about, as he staggers bewildered through the afternmath of the rave scene, the britpop scene and the 90's...this song reduced me to absolute tears at the show. It is...a masterpiece all the weariest and of bon vivants have felt, and lived. An anthem for the wrecked, bereft and empty.		0:17:01 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Relaxed Muscle	Billy Jack "Billy Jack" by "Relaxed Muscle"	A Heavy Night With Relaxed Muscle	Rough Trade	2003	Pulp may have reached the stage of disillusionment with the 90's close...but Jarv still has some party in him so he heads to Camden town to slum it with the likes of the Mighty Boosh, and aligns with the Northern and Sheffield electroclash/discopunk/synthpunk/New Rave pretty things to keep the debauchery going...."Imagine if you will/can a mangled amalgam of Suicide's primitive electro-clash, early-Human League synth squelching, latter-day Tricky and erm... (on Muscle Music) Adam Ant. Grinding, unpolished pop noise then, with none of the worthy but dull professional trimmings of Pulp's most recent work. Amidst this messy musical debris, Cocker adopts his alter-ego as northern pervert poet Darren Spooner. Addicted to sex, always ready for a fight, self-loathing and misogynistic ("I tell you one thing/And I ain't lying/I rule my woman with a rod of iron") and in a permanent state of physical/mental despair....

Pulp	Tunnel (Full Length Version)	They Suffocate at Night	Fire Records	1987	Over here on my side over here on the half-host configuration, I've always respected Pulp, but never did take too deep a dive... I knew teethy weirdness existed, but never looked hard enough to find it. Babs kicked the Pulp set off w/ a noisy gem that escaped me. Here, I found this, too, in it's full length, originally the b-side on the single format that would accommodate its full duration. Recorded in Sheffield during June 1986. "They Suffocate at Night" is the first single from the album Freaks by British band Pulp, released in 1987. The song and its B-side "Tunnel" were later included on the compilation album Masters of the Universe."		0:36:51 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Claudia	Drum "Drum" by "Claudia"	Diss	Self-Released (Bandcamp)	2024	Released yesterday Aug 11. Hamilton's, Ontario's Claudia is, in fact, Drew from Bananananana. I found all of this out today & it's an excellent reveal!!! We are fond of all these things, incl., now, this, uh, percussive workout. Since I was chatting w/ Drew, I thought I would ask him for something to share to the world on this day of Aug 12, perhaps a thought of the day........... Answer.......

Party Dozen	Coup De Gronk "Coup De Gronk" by "Party Dozen"	Crime In Australia	Grupo Records	2024	Album released Sep 6, here is the opening track, the mighty Coup De Gronk. "Despite the name there are only two people in the Sydney group Party Dozen. They’re a sax-and-drums duo who make weird, convulsive music... [following up] their incendiary 2022 debut The Real Work with their new LP Crime In Australia...The excellently titled new track “Coup De Gronk” is a riff-happy instrumental built on a bed of percolating sequencers. Party Dozen co-wrote the song’s video with Tanya Babić and Jason Sukadana, the directing team known as VERSUS. It’s a neon-noir crime vision, with Party Dozen playing underworld enforcers who terrorize Sydney with finger-guns and saxophones. Here’s what they say about it: 'The brief for this clip was Party Dozen Debt Collectors — unhinged and unlikely. We’re not violent people, so in lieu of actual violence we had to be a little more creative with the enforcing. Tanya and Jason captured the perfect mix of delinquency and humour, with clear nods to classic Australian gang films and old crime shows with that hazy smear of motion film.' This fall, Party Dozen will tour Europe with Amyl And The Sniffers." Vid here: Party Dozen - Coup De Gronk (Official Video)	*	0:49:31 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Herbie Hancock	Rockit "Rockit" by "Herbie Hancock"	Future Shock	Columbia	1983	Yes, Martin Bisi had his engineering skills (at BC studio) on hand for Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" "...constructed and composed during the recording process, first at BC Studio in Gowanus, Brooklyn, with additional overdubs at RPM Studios in Manhattan, then Hancock's home studio in West Hollywood, and finally at Eldorado studio in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The production duo of Material (bassist Bill Laswell and synth player Michael Beinhorn) were based at Martin Bisi's BC Studio, recording experimental, no wave and underground club music. Hancock's 25-year-old manager, Tony Meilandt, approached Laswell to write a new track for Hancock, whose career needed a boost. /////// The 2-inch 16-track master tape containing rhythm parts and scratching needed to be transferred to 24-track 2-inch in order for Hancock to work with it at his home studio. Laswell and Bisi took the tape to RPM Studios in Greenwich Village, but instead of simply transferring the format, they added some extra sounds, especially a stab of guitar taken from a Led Zeppelin song on the album Coda. Using the repeat hold function of a Lexicon Prime Time digital delay, they attempted to capture a Led Zeppelin snare drum sound, but a moment of inattention resulted in the guitar stab, which Laswell found better suited his purpose." ////////// Martin Bisi is bringing his film / collective / world to Toronto @ Collective Arts on Saturday...

Perfect Whip	Jive Bullshit "Jive Bullshit" by "Perfect Whip"	Jive Bullshit	PW	2023	A band from Melbourne, Kulin Nation. Of Course. "People now don't even have any concept that there ever was a culture outside of this thing that's created to make money. Whatever's the biggest latest thing, they're into it! You just get disgusted after a while with humanity for not having more kind of like, intellectual curiosity about what's behind all this Jive Bullshit"		1:01:21 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
PUFF	Mutation "Mutation" by "PUFF"	Rock Bottom	PUFF	2024	Speaking of derivative. No, this isn't the Ohsees but shows how far and deep the influence of quality modern garage rock has on new artists. Berlin's PUFFS are If Sean & Erin from THE SPITS were raised in 1980’s Germany by freaky parents with a kraut-rock collection, their band might have sounded a lot like PUFF. Three tracks of spastic and aggressive synth heavy rave-ups, sung often in German, from some of the heaviest pranksters around. These chuckle-headed Satanic funhouse psychedelic punk sounds are a direct response to the so-called “hipster” invasion Berlin has been plagued with for the last ten plus years. PUFF: KILLS PARTY PEOPLE ON CONTACT.		1:02:49 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Tine Hill	Money "Money" by "Tine Hill"	Participant	Tine Hill	2024	A fairly new release from June 2024...they are from Lake Placid, NY. "Participant" is Tine Hill's first album, featuring a mix of music collected over the past decade, previously unrecorded until this release. Tine Hill is also the bassist for Gustaf...which is why this song rocks!		1:05:27 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Neon Kittens	I Traded My Kingdom for Magic Beans	Side 3	Metal Postcard	2023	See the neon Kittens are indeed a wonderful erotic thing they offer down at heal post punk rock n roll put performed in cocktail dresses and velvet jackets , they are a stlyish affair they are slinky avant gard pop they are Serge Gainsbough played through a blender they are the most beautiful people to walk the planet but only looked at through a distorted mirror they offer hope for the future by nailing down the lid of the past they are Alec Chilton like but not in a Big Star way they are suffocating the Flies On Shebert then pulling off their wings . They are good bad and yes maybe a little evil they are also pretty much perfect in the most imperfect kind of way.		1:07:40 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Wife	Mr. Dingle The Strong "Mr. Dingle The Strong" by "Wife"	Starla's Theme	Chris Records	2023	Wife hail from San Francisco. This is all we know. So we'll leave it at that. Bands that have really common, impossible to search names and no band bios really frustrate us here at the Beach....		1:11:01 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Family Vision	Irony "Irony" by "Family Vision"	Plastic Form	Julia's War	2022	Family Vision are from NYC. American band Family Vision captures the essence of punk via their songs. Their music has frantic guitar riffs that convey the raw intensity of punk rock, heavy percussion, and edgy vocals. Family Vision's music radiates a sense of defiance and revolt since its songs frequently address issues of societal unrest, personal problems, and political commentary.		1:12:31 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Cyril Cyril	Les Gens "Les Gens" by "Cyril Cyril"	Les Gens Single	Born Bad	2020	People...oh..people. This is the second song we've featured by this very amazing band from Geneva. "the infinity of mirrors. Beyond the Atlas and Ararat mountains, the boomerang echo of a thousand others somewhere tells anyone who wants to hear it. With only a banjo, a guitar, strange drums, several voices and several languages as his companions, Cyril Cyril digs a laser furrow of the soul. The tandem, camouflaged as a fanfare-ghost, tumbles like a phoenix onto the dance floor"		1:14:06 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Theoreme	Moyen Age "Moyen Age" by "Theoreme"	L'appel du Midi à midi pile	Bruit Direct Disques	2016	Theoreme (the artist) is here to singe ears on this blistering solo debut. Laying down all the instrumentation ‘n vocals herself, Theoreme posits that spectres of the past continue to resonate in the contemporaneous milieu of the underground. This isn’t some Erik Von Daniken/Chariots Of The Gods bullshit. It’s the #>$&%^*ing truth! Deep inside the angular ingenuity of this chef d’oeuvre are subtle sonic vectors, analogous to Gutura, SIC & the corrosive side of Zickzack. Channeled or not, the adage remains, “Great minds think alike”. I can’t say for sure the French invented propositional logic, but they sure do guzzle it down. And Theoreme’s right there; two-fisted, bellied up & ready for bear. You want a cold war? Well son, here it is. Have at it.		1:17:16 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

Martin Bisi	No SUN In Berlin TEMPELHOF	Your Ultimate Urban Fantasy	Bandcamp	2024	From the new EP (May 2024) ‘Your Ultimate Urban Fantasy’--- "NYC-based legendary producer and experimental artist Martin Bisi. Bisi has been a central figure in the musical history of New York City for the past four decades. Founding Brooklyn’s BC Studio in 1981, he has helped develop post-Punk, No Wave and experimental culture through recordings of Brian Eno (On Land), Sonic Youth, Swans, John Zorn, Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit”, Afrika Bambaataa, Material/Bill Laswell, JG Thirlwell, Unsane, The Dresden Dolls, White Hills, Cop Shoot Cop and countless others. ////// It is therefore a special moment indeed when Bisi releases one of his own pieces, and it is a magnificent collection that eviscerates elements of modern society with poetic anger and frustration: perhaps representing a verbal skewering of decadence and decay. ////////// ’Your Ultimate Urban Fantasy’ is an immersive collection of vivid moments – sometimes discordant, always intense but with a common theme. Bisi says of the songs: "The songs are pretty descriptive and visual. You can see and feel these urban spaces, the real as well as imaginary ones in the sound as well as lyrics. I think the record is looking towards the 22nd century." //////// Cities, urban landscapes, desolation, entropy, decay and hypocrisy all feature. Bisi says: "Politically, cities are a big part of the future we’re heading into. Governments are reshaping the vision of how cities work. The music becomes a socio-musical commentary, echoing the dissonance often experienced in contemporary urban life while contemplating the environmental degradation intertwined with the urban narrative. “Master Plan For Retaking Williamsburg” is a live recording, where i removed the songs, and just left the improvisations between the songs. It’s significant because Williamsburg is a neighborhood that has been almost completely lost. Genevieve Fernworthy is pretty much the anchor."... ///////////////// ...Bisi’s urgent delivery continues in ‘No SUN In Berlin TEMPELHOF’, his wry delivery rampages over an ambulant music soundscape with intensity, as the music ebbs and flows. The title track coasts on a twirling Hammond organ base with ominous synth splashes as Bisi recounts the vicissitudes of life, an element of bleak despair." ///////////////////////// Martin Bisi is bringing his film / collective / world to Toronto @ Collective Arts on Saturday...

Dog Faced Hermans	H Tribe "H Tribe" by "Dog Faced Hermans"	Those Deep Buds Rebalanced & Remastered 2024	Alternative Tentacles / Konkurrel / Bandcamp	1994 / 2024	Released September 6, 2024 // Rebalanced and Remastered June 2024 by Colin McLean and Andy Moor // Originally released July 1, 1994... "Truly a classic from 1994, this last studio album from the Hermans is their masterpiece. From the propulsive, off-kilter hooks and grooves of Blessed Are The Follies, to the flamenco-influenced noise rock of Volkswagen and the disturbing reliving of the My Lai Massacre of Vietnam in Calley, this album brims with energy and intelligence. For all the glorious noisiness, singer/trumpeter, Marion Coutts never shouts, and at times sings in hushed, evocative tones which break through the mix very nicely. All the players are in top form here, and there isn't a weak track on the album. As usual, unorthodox instrumentation and an unlikely combination of folk, free jazz and post-punk elements fuse to form a signature sound unlike any other band before or since. /////// With production by noted U.K. boardsman Guy Fixsen. Those Deep Buds kicks with a vicious, smart passion, with lead figure Marion handling the vocals and aforementioned brass with aplomb. Fixsen's production brings out the strength in the individual performances while retaining space and depth in the mix, even when everything ratchets up to a full explosion Backed by the fine, ragged rhythm section of bassist Colin and drummer Wilf and playing off the rough, spindly riffing of guitarist Andy, she leads her charges down constantly unexpected musical detours with entertaining results. an unbelievably powerful and resilient record with some of the best lyrics to ever appear on a rock album." ------ Find here: https://dogfacedhermans.bandcamp.com/	*	1:32:51 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Ex	Great! "Great!" by "The Ex"	Great! / The Evidence [Single]	Ex Records	2024	Released September 9, 2024. "A 45RPM - 7inch single in celebration of The Ex s 45 th anniversary!!!!!! //////// Few bands are as focused on potential challenges, on what is yet to come, as The Ex. Which is pretty remarkable for a band celebrating 45 years of existence, a turbulent journey filled with an impressive series of highlights. However, nostalgia has never been this band’s forte, as they like no other succeed in reinventing themselves, finding new alliances and fascinating challenges along the way. Stay out of that comfort zone for long enough and it just might disappear. //////// So, in 45 years they did more than 2000 concerts in 45 countries. It was time for a new 45rpm 7” single. From the brand-new set they are playing full-on this year, they picked two blinking tracks: ‘Great!’ and ’The Evidence’. Urgent, willful, adventurous, open hearted and joyfully obstinate.

OCS	This Dreadful Heart "This Dreadful Heart" by "OCS"	OCS Live At Permanent Roadhouse	Permanent Records	2024	So, yes, it's impossible to keep up w/ John Dwyer. I had read he was working on a bunch of releases that would clean up some loose ends in the studio that hadn't found proper homes. Then, on BC Friday, he made 4 albums available. There is no stopping him. 3 of those albums were from recent free-form Jazz explorations. The fourth is this, going back to the very earliest days of OCS/Thee Oh Sees/Osees... --- From his mouth: -- "During the holidays of 2023, Brigid Dawson and I got together at my house in Los Angeles and started transcribing a nice list of songs //// Some new, some very old that have never been played live ever, and we put together a holiday set list which we performed two nights in a row at Permanent Records Roadhouse in Los Angeles and did a bit of it at a charity event at the Lodge Room. Seven tunings later… It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of libation and celebration. We surrounded ourselves with good friends and came up with this charming off kilter set of recordings. I think they capture the casual energy of the evening in the mood of the crowd. Hope you enjoy". JPD" //// From Brooklyn Vegan: "OCS, the OSEES folk duo spinoff featuring John Dwyer and Bridget Dawson, are releasing Live at Permanent Records on November 29 via Rock is Hell.

	8:14pm DJ Babs: Hello Tyler!

	8:16pm Tyler: ↳ Alli B @8:14 Hi Alli!
	8:17pm DJ Babs: I wanted to do a whole evolution of Pulp and Pervy Jarv show...but I thought that might be a bit much LOL
	8:17pm Derek Westerholm: Hey there AlliB, Tyler, hello hello!!!
	8:17pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:17 Hi Derek!
	8:17pm Alli B: I love so much that Jarvis went to the rainbow painted tunnel along the DVP
	8:18pm prof.fuzz: ↳ DJ Babs @8:17 i'd listen to that...
	8:18pm DJ Babs: can you imagine driving down the DVP and seeing Jarv lurking about the rainbow tunnel!?! I love it.
	8:18pm Tyler: ↳ Alli B @8:17 Yes, that was a highlight of the sow for me, as well.
	8:19pm Alli B: Just casually taking your dog for a walk when he’s surrounded by the common people
	8:19pm Tyler: Never heard this Nick Cave cover b4. He isn't doing his usual deconstruction thing.
	8:20pm ultradamno: I think General Mill needs to add Invisible Man and Blob characters...the blob could gummy chunks in it...I have no idea what flavor invisible would be though.
	8:20pm laurapanic: Hi all....coming out of 2 week so fthe worst flu I've ever had. And I have a gig tonight! Amp me up, Babs and Derek!!!
	8:20pm DJ Babs: I am not ashamed to say I wept...no UGLY CRIED at this song. It was absolute perfection live. Mind. Blowing.
	8:21pm DJ Babs: Laura! Hellooooooooooo
	8:21pm prof.fuzz: ↳ laurapanic @8:20 hope you feel better soon. have a great gig!
	8:21pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @8:17 Did not know this fact about JC visiting the Rainbow Bridge! V. close to my olde homestead, by geography, anyway. I have traversed such ravines.
	8:22pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:20 Don't you fret Laura, we got the sounds you need. Ampage is coming after we get through this luscious ode to post hedonistic comedowns...
	8:22pm Tyler: Yes, This Is Harcore was EPIC live! Probably my favourite Pulp record. I was hoping they would also play 'Dishes', but you can't have oy all...
	8:22pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @8:20 You are hardcore mate!! 🍻😎🤙💨☕🌻
	8:23pm Tyler: ↳ Tyler @8:22 *it all...
	8:24pm Tyler: I was also thrilled to hear both Weeds pt.1 & Pt.2 live.
	8:25pm DJ Babs: I've never been a Weeds fan but live it was a whole different thing....
	8:26pm Tyler: @Derek @Babs given the theme of tonight's show - are you going to the Martini Bisi doc & show on Saturday?
	8:26pm DJ Babs: Also, just Candida. Watching her play...her hands...are just so fascinating. It is so amazing to see how she continues to play with such bad Arthritis. I love how it informs her style..
	8:26pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:20 Laura, that's terrible. So sorry that you're still fighting it, bah! The stage may just defeat it, y'know... There's a lot to be said for a resounding whallop of sound, as you send your waves out and they bounce back to you... Have a great gig!
	8:32pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:22 let's see how hardcore I am at 10.30pm halfway through the set. I'm gonna be going the Vitamin B around 20mins before!
	8:33pm laurapanic: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:26 they call is SONIC THERAPY. Or do they? At least I do!!
	8:35pm Kristine: Hi alllllllllll!
	8:36pm Alli B: Arghhhhhhhh
	8:37pm Kristine: ahhhhhhh missing the pulp show is already feeling like the regret of the year
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:35 Hey there Kristinnnne!
	8:37pm Alli B: Same here, Kristine
	8:39pm Kristine: derek were you there?
	8:40pm laurapanic: thank you for taking the space for that, Babs, it was a terrific debrief!!!!
	8:40pm DJ Babs: she's brilliant..Hello Kristine!!!!!!!
	8:41pm DJ Babs: The history of pulp as fast as I could LOL
	8:41pm Kristine: this is pump but sounds like a fall song.
	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:37 Jarv was pretty close to MES I think.
	8:41pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Kristine @8:41 that's exactly what i was thinking
	8:42pm DJ Babs: They are Sheffield/Salford guys...
	8:42pm Kristine: pulp not pump! ha
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:39 'Twas not... One of the ones that got away.
	8:42pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Kristine @8:42 the judges would have also accepted "plump"
	8:43pm Kristine: Derek is this one of the pulp tunes you can abide by because it doesnt sound like one we would know?
	8:46pm Kristine: i like this side of pulp. imagine jarvis in 1987 now!
	8:46pm ultradamno: Someone on twitter suggested the blob cereal should have licorice....that's not squishy!
	8:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:43 Yuppers!
	8:48pm Kristine: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:46 predictable :P
	8:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:46 I love the many sides of Pulp to be sure!
	8:49pm DJ Babs: This is a great follow-up!
	8:49pm Kristine: loving this percussive workout
	8:50pm DJ Babs: This is a killer tune!
	8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:49 Half of Banananana!!!
	8:55pm ultradamno: external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	8:56pm Alli B: This song is making me laugh for some reason 😂
	8:57pm DJ Babs: It reminded me of WEEN
	8:57pm DJ Babs: Also when I saw this on the playlist I was delighted
	8:58pm ultradamno: Now I'm thinking of robot gams
	9:00pm Avspuk: ↳ Song: "Tunnel (Full Length Version)" by "Pulp" Sounding a fair bit like the Fall in this one. I feel that, perhaps, I make such comments fart oo often 😉
	9:01pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:58 Me too! And hello Avspuk!
	9:05pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi DJ Babs, Derek, and all!!!

	9:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:05 Hello there Will-thee-SG-OCNY... Where are sounds lurking this week?
	9:07pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:05 ohh that sounds tasty! I haven't had chips in many weeks. We are watching our waistlines here on the beach...gotta keep my calories for booze LOL
	9:07pm laurapanic: two more Australian bands not on my radar. But, there is SO MUCH GOOD SHIT DOWN HERE.
	9:07pm DJ Babs: Speaking of which tonight we are enjoying some Dark and Stormys
	9:07pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @9:07 Seriously these guys are the shit.
	9:07pm ultradamno: Oh, here's an article about Porky's Prime Cuts I came across this week www.soundandvision.com...
	9:08pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:05 I tried those only just last week at band practice!!!! Our drummer was quite a fan & happy to share... They are quite pleasing!
	9:09pm Kristine: ↳ laurapanic @9:07 there is a great aussie that lives in berlin, ned collette. he is great too. he was in a band called city city city when he lived in melbourne
	9:09pm v-dawg: Hi all.
	9:10pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:07 I'm working for a Pink Floyd cover band on Saturday... Been doing a lot of yardwork to get ready to build the Swing set that I took apart a few weeks ago. I hope you all are doing well tonight
	9:10pm DJ Babs: V Daawwwwwwgggg hello hello
	9:12pm v-dawg: Yes, i am late but have an excuse note from the georgian restaurant. Diet is over! Not that i was really on one!
	9:12pm DJ Babs: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:10 Ahh what era of Floyd? All the Floyd?
	9:13pm ultradamno: The Jah Wobble shuffle mastodon.social...
	9:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:12 Yay to diets being over!!! I hate the D word so we are calling it a "Lifestyle change" LOL
	9:15pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @9:13 Yes, lifestyle change, lifestyle of no pastries.
	9:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ v-dawg @9:15 i'd call that an "existencestyle," cuz a life without pastry is not worth living...
	9:16pm Kristine: ↳ v-dawg @9:15 welp my life right now
	9:16pm DJ Babs: I agree. And I still have pastry! Just not as much as I'd like to!!! LOL
	9:16pm Kristine: ok, this band is squirt in disguise no?
	9:17pm DJ Babs: Haha!No but they are super vague in their bio and hard to find info...
	9:17pm Kristine: i mean squid!
	9:18pm Scott_Oz: Thanks B&D! Gotta leave early to go help Dad put up a nesting box so the resident Rosellas can get their Spring on! 🌳🪺🦜🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	9:18pm DJ Babs: Oh by the way did you hear about Squid cancelling some of their tour? A member had a bad accident and smashed up their face...which sounds dreadful!
	9:18pm DJ Babs: Ahhh Scott...leaving the Beach to garden is a noble and neccessary and wonderful excuse!!!
	9:19pm DJ Babs: I'm so sad my flowers are dying and sad now...
	9:19pm v-dawg: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:16 Yes, the lifestyle of non-existant pastry. To tell the truth, one place said that there were done with blueberry pastries for the year, the other said that chef was on vacation so no walnut pastries.
	9:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @9:12 Ooooooo... Lovely reason to join in the later half... Not late though, no lateness on the Beach. It is merely a beach. Laying in wait, unconditionally.
	9:19pm DJ Babs: Stupid winter. :-(
	9:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:18 See you Scott... Happy nesting... Boxing... Rosellaing...
	9:20pm Kristine: shout out to les bains de paquis! best beach in gva
	9:20pm DJ Babs: Yes! U know I love the homeland content!
	9:21pm v-dawg: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:19 Quiet night at the restaurant and i have a full stomach to put in a good mood. I need it too! I have to clean the whole kitchen tonight.
	9:21pm Kristine: ca j'aime bien
	9:22pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:21 oof that is a big job to be sure!! But so rewarding!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:21 yeah this shit is tight! She released this in 2016...then nothing till 2021 and just a single. Boooo
	9:23pm DJ Babs: Great production on this. I love the guitar hard to one side.
	9:23pm Kristine: yeah, i havent heard many french performers like this. its very suicide also
	9:23pm ultradamno: One new thing I picked up on BC Friday was the Drrones new ep, there's almost hints of pop in the post-punk prog and it works...also the new Half Human, they keep getting better.
	9:25pm Kristine: de midi a midi pile meaning from noon to noon on the dot. haha
	9:26pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 You have a better point of view than i do. I have to do all this work on short notice. (Yes, i have already started.)
	9:29pm ultradamno: Music genre (literal) mastodon.social...
	9:32pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ DJ Babs @9:12 Mainly animals, dark side, some of the wall, some of meddle.
	9:39pm DJ Babs: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:32 Yeah, I’m good with that. I love Floyd all the way up to the Wall
	9:40pm DJ Babs: Fun fact, I don’t think Derek has ever seen The Wall…which needs to be rectified. You don’t even need to like Floyd to appreciate it.
	9:40pm Kristine: quite different from the ex eh derek?
	9:41pm Kristine: i havent seen it either
	9:41pm ultradamno: The Steadmanesque animation is nice
	9:42pm DJ Babs: From a film and an animation standpoint, it’s gorgeous
	9:42pm DJ Babs: Once in a while when I feel sad but can’t get a good cry out I watch “goodbye blue skies” LOL
	9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:40 I would climb a Wall to see The Ex again.
	9:43pm DJ Babs: VERY MUCH ENJOYING THE NEW EX. It has the “kluk”
	9:44pm Bob Barth: HELLO D & B! Loving the show tonight!
	9:44pm Kristine: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:43 LOL!
	9:44pm DJ Babs: Hiya Bob!
	9:45pm DJ Babs: KSpark ran a bit late but I think we are on schedule…whatcha got for us tonight? Last week’s show was great!
	9:45pm DJ Babs: Ohhh this is my tune of the week I can’t even with this groove
	9:45pm Alli B: I love it so much
	9:46pm DJ Babs: I feel That bass in my ovaries lol
	9:46pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @9:45 3 Fantastic films! 1 Docu series on Hair Metal!! & RINGO!! It's gonna be fun.
	9:46pm Alli B: Wiggle wiggle
	9:46pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @9:46 I think the bass is giving me ovaries.
	9:47pm Kristine: is he saying words backwards?
	9:47pm Kristine: its also called Stettin, pretty close to berlin!
	9:47pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Half kieliszka" by "Druty" This set is all BC Friday purchases, UltraD... I was thinking of you as I settled in to some late night shopping. Your gentle monthly reminders have oft left me feeling I've left something remiss in my usual BCF absenteeism. Rectified that, last Fri. Here it all is.
	9:48pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:47 I think backmasked AND forward, in Polish, near as I can tell...
	9:48pm ultradamno: I just can't listen to it without imagining Roger Waters wringing his hands and saying "no one will think of Tommy again, I tell you!!!"
	9:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:47 It sounds like backwards whatever eastern bloc country he mail Hail from?
	9:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:48 I know Roger Waters is like the Morrisey of the Smiths. Ewwww
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 Poland.
	9:49pm v-dawg: ↳ Song: "Half kieliszka" by "Druty" Polish language on wfmu again today. Ts-tSe-zin. They may not want us to learn their language, but they are not too upset when we butcher it.
	9:50pm DJ Babs: This is nice song
	9:50pm Kristine: ↳ v-dawg @9:49 LOL
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @9:49 There will be a Polish fest at the foot of our street all wknd. I quite enjoy it.
	9:51pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:50 Little chance Druty fly in to play it, I suspect.
	9:51pm DJ Babs: We live in little Poland…so there’s a lot of the old grannies pulling their grocery carts about. The deli nearby is a GEM. THE PICKLES.
	9:52pm Kristine: oh yeah! thanks for the reminder. also, pickle soup ! had that at the fest one year, hard to find after that
	9:53pm v-dawg: @babs, derek I have something for you that i just learned about, waffle pierogies.
	9:53pm DJ Babs: The fest is this weekend…
	9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Wake Up (BBC John Peel Session)" by "Essential Lo... I've the ten inch of this and The Flaming Stars one, they are nice little packages
	9:55pm Kristine: been waiting two hours for a fall song derek!

	9:56pm prof.fuzz: great show tonight. thanks babs and derek!
	9:56pm DJ Babs: Yaaaaay! Thank you everyone so so so much!

	9:57pm Kristine: nice! grotesque is one of the first albums i bought a long time ago!
	9:58pm Kristine: and i like that the existing members curated it!
	9:58pm v-dawg: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:50 People butcher the name polish beer all the time. Last month, someone said, "I like this zeye vike or however you say it". Stuff yourself at the fest!
	9:58pm laurapanic: its Bob Barth time!!!!!
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:57 The first I listened to!!!!
	9:58pm Kristine: he is probably having his say by making objects move, or flickering lights, we know him
	9:59pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:53 If you don't know Flaming Stars (and a lot of people seem not to) they are a great band with ties to Gallon Drunk and Sting-Rays/Bananamen and have a few albums on Alternative Tentacles. Their first album on Vinyl Japan, Songs From The Barroom Floor is mandatory, but that Precious Recordings is of similar vintage and more immediately available.
	9:59pm Bob Barth: Follow me this way gang into the next hour wfmu.org...
	10:03pm Kristine: thanks for the martin bisi tip! gnite!

Music behind DJ: Martin Bisi	VanQuish / Moon Meets Sun	VanQuish / Moon Meets Sun [Digital Single]	Bandcamp	2024	Martin Bisi is bringing his film / collective / world to Toronto @ Collective Arts on Saturday... This track (released July 10, 2024) -- available via https://martin-bisi.bandcamp.com/ -- was: "Inspired by the totality of a Solar Eclipse //// Voices recorded on day before the eclipse: Lindsay Tuttle, Lani Combier-Kapel, Mág Ne Tá Z’air, Martin Bisi //// see the video by Mág Ne Tá Z’air: youtu.be/ewTunpLwBE4?feature=shared //// In the eye of the kiwi bird is the total solar eclipse. This bird, a symbol of natural innocence and simplicity is witness to the spectacle of bizarre and disturbing human behavior - Who Is watching Whom ? //// as Mág Ne Tá Z'air describes it: This story is from the perspective of a kiwi bird. A woman meets an FBI agent who stretches out her breasts so that they hang low, like rocks in strong nylon tights. For the second part of the assignment, the woman hangs from a helicopter and is displayed in an air show above a lake. The sky sheds tears of suffering. Leigh Bowery appears to turn the situation around with some razzle dazzle. Briefly, the woman loses all of her senses and does not feel gravity. Afterwards, the helicopter carries the woman into the sunset. Nature passively observes."" ------- His show this Saturday in Toronto as follows: Saturday, September 14 //// includes a screening of the documentary Sound And Chaos: The Story Of BC Studio ///// Collective Arts Toronto / 777 Dundas St. W. / Toronto, Ontario //// with Flake --------------------- Find links to his shows / videos & pages here: http://www.martinbisi.com/	*
Pulp	The Will to Power "The Will to Power" by "Pulp"	Little Girl (With Blue Eyes) EP	Fire Records	1985	And so, the journey began with PULP in 1983 with their first releases. This song does not feature Jarvis on vocals..it's Russell Senior...and is a post punk dirge worthy of Wire...which makes sense for the time. Elements of future freakouts that you hear in subsequent songs...this is the blueprint right here. The lyrics of TWTP are deliberately provocative to an extent which is hard to justify. A popular story, reported as fact in Martin Aston’s book, says that the song had to be dropped from the band’s set after it attracted a skinhead following, but this is most likely to be either a joke or a massive exaggeration on Russell’s part – especially as it sounds suspiciously like a near-identical story about Cabaret Voltaire and their early track “Do The Mussolini (Headkick)”. Russell had the following to say about this in a '87 fanzine interview: To be honest, I wasn't too surprised at the Nazi flak we got. It is in fact a real commie anthem dedicated to Arthur Scargill and Nelson Mandela and the I.R.A. The reason it got Nazi flak is: It mentions 1933 (the year Hitler came to power). The title is also a book of Nietzsche writings compiled by the Nazis and taken out of context to try and prove their race theories. I look very similar to Adolph Hitler(!). On a couple of occasions I've had to dash out of my local when yobbos started chanting 'Zieg Heil!' and taking the piss.		0:05:32 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Pulp	OU (Gone Gone 12" Mix) "OU (Gone Gone 12" Mix)" by "Pulp"	Intro: The Gift Recordings	Island Records	1993	Skipping ahead a decade, we (sadly) glossed over their foray into the electronica/rave themes...this era takes on full krautrock and Stereolab vibes...but also hints at what to come. Jarvis has made his way from awkward young pervert to a man who has just bought a velvet suit, and is out to party. The party has begun for Pulp...yeah yeah yeah yeah! First debuted in 1991, the liner notes on this recording lead as follows: ...so we finally made it into orbit (good init?). But like the man said "Space is O.K. but I'd rather get my kicks down below." One re-entry later and now it's a choice between an extra hour in bed or stopping the love of your life from getting the next train out of town. Took too long deciding what shirt to wear and blew it. But hold on, who's this walking out of the sun? It can't be - but it is. Talk about leaving it till the last minute. O.U. jammy get...		0:08:57 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Nick Cave	Disco 2000 - Pub Rock Version	Different Class (Deluxe Edition)	Universal	1995	Post His and Hers Babies, Lipgloss, Different Class was the pinnacle of Pulp's songwriting, themes and ability to write universally appealing pop hooks. Pervy Jarvis isn't' the weirdo hiding in your sister's closet anymore...it's out for all to see, love and embrace. So much so, that Nick Cave found reason to cover this song....twice. The Pulp party is in full swing here, all the drugs, all the highs, all the sleaze, and all the fun...."The fountain down the road" probably refers to the Goodwin Fountain which stood at the end of Fargate in the centre of Sheffield. Anyone wanting to meet there in the year 2000 would have been disappointed because it was demolished by the City Council in 1998 and replaced by a new one in the Peace Gardens.		0:12:38 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Pulp	This Is Hardcore "This Is Hardcore" by "Pulp"	This Is Hardcore	Universal Records	1998	One of the greatest songs ever. This is the end of the party line for Pulp. Pervy Jarv is sexed out, drugged out, and done with it all. His velvet suit now tattered and torn along with his dreams, his hopes and his very psyche. Feathered showgirls jostle him about, as he staggers bewildered through the afternmath of the rave scene, the britpop scene and the 90's...this song reduced me to absolute tears at the show. It is...a masterpiece all the weariest and of bon vivants have felt, and lived. An anthem for the wrecked, bereft and empty.		0:17:01 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Relaxed Muscle	Billy Jack "Billy Jack" by "Relaxed Muscle"	A Heavy Night With Relaxed Muscle	Rough Trade	2003	Pulp may have reached the stage of disillusionment with the 90's close...but Jarv still has some party in him so he heads to Camden town to slum it with the likes of the Mighty Boosh, and aligns with the Northern and Sheffield electroclash/discopunk/synthpunk/New Rave pretty things to keep the debauchery going...."Imagine if you will/can a mangled amalgam of Suicide's primitive electro-clash, early-Human League synth squelching, latter-day Tricky and erm... (on Muscle Music) Adam Ant. Grinding, unpolished pop noise then, with none of the worthy but dull professional trimmings of Pulp's most recent work. Amidst this messy musical debris, Cocker adopts his alter-ego as northern pervert poet Darren Spooner. Addicted to sex, always ready for a fight, self-loathing and misogynistic ("I tell you one thing/And I ain't lying/I rule my woman with a rod of iron") and in a permanent state of physical/mental despair....

Pulp	Tunnel (Full Length Version)	They Suffocate at Night	Fire Records	1987	Over here on my side over here on the half-host configuration, I've always respected Pulp, but never did take too deep a dive... I knew teethy weirdness existed, but never looked hard enough to find it. Babs kicked the Pulp set off w/ a noisy gem that escaped me. Here, I found this, too, in it's full length, originally the b-side on the single format that would accommodate its full duration. Recorded in Sheffield during June 1986. "They Suffocate at Night" is the first single from the album Freaks by British band Pulp, released in 1987. The song and its B-side "Tunnel" were later included on the compilation album Masters of the Universe."		0:36:51 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Claudia	Drum "Drum" by "Claudia"	Diss	Self-Released (Bandcamp)	2024	Released yesterday Aug 11. Hamilton's, Ontario's Claudia is, in fact, Drew from Bananananana. I found all of this out today & it's an excellent reveal!!! We are fond of all these things, incl., now, this, uh, percussive workout. Since I was chatting w/ Drew, I thought I would ask him for something to share to the world on this day of Aug 12, perhaps a thought of the day........... Answer.......

Party Dozen	Coup De Gronk "Coup De Gronk" by "Party Dozen"	Crime In Australia	Grupo Records	2024	Album released Sep 6, here is the opening track, the mighty Coup De Gronk. "Despite the name there are only two people in the Sydney group Party Dozen. They’re a sax-and-drums duo who make weird, convulsive music... [following up] their incendiary 2022 debut The Real Work with their new LP Crime In Australia...The excellently titled new track “Coup De Gronk” is a riff-happy instrumental built on a bed of percolating sequencers. Party Dozen co-wrote the song’s video with Tanya Babić and Jason Sukadana, the directing team known as VERSUS. It’s a neon-noir crime vision, with Party Dozen playing underworld enforcers who terrorize Sydney with finger-guns and saxophones. Here’s what they say about it: 'The brief for this clip was Party Dozen Debt Collectors — unhinged and unlikely. We’re not violent people, so in lieu of actual violence we had to be a little more creative with the enforcing. Tanya and Jason captured the perfect mix of delinquency and humour, with clear nods to classic Australian gang films and old crime shows with that hazy smear of motion film.' This fall, Party Dozen will tour Europe with Amyl And The Sniffers." Vid here: Party Dozen - Coup De Gronk (Official Video)	*	0:49:31 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Herbie Hancock	Rockit "Rockit" by "Herbie Hancock"	Future Shock	Columbia	1983	Yes, Martin Bisi had his engineering skills (at BC studio) on hand for Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" "...constructed and composed during the recording process, first at BC Studio in Gowanus, Brooklyn, with additional overdubs at RPM Studios in Manhattan, then Hancock's home studio in West Hollywood, and finally at Eldorado studio in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The production duo of Material (bassist Bill Laswell and synth player Michael Beinhorn) were based at Martin Bisi's BC Studio, recording experimental, no wave and underground club music. Hancock's 25-year-old manager, Tony Meilandt, approached Laswell to write a new track for Hancock, whose career needed a boost. /////// The 2-inch 16-track master tape containing rhythm parts and scratching needed to be transferred to 24-track 2-inch in order for Hancock to work with it at his home studio. Laswell and Bisi took the tape to RPM Studios in Greenwich Village, but instead of simply transferring the format, they added some extra sounds, especially a stab of guitar taken from a Led Zeppelin song on the album Coda. Using the repeat hold function of a Lexicon Prime Time digital delay, they attempted to capture a Led Zeppelin snare drum sound, but a moment of inattention resulted in the guitar stab, which Laswell found better suited his purpose." ////////// Martin Bisi is bringing his film / collective / world to Toronto @ Collective Arts on Saturday...

Perfect Whip	Jive Bullshit "Jive Bullshit" by "Perfect Whip"	Jive Bullshit	PW	2023	A band from Melbourne, Kulin Nation. Of Course. "People now don't even have any concept that there ever was a culture outside of this thing that's created to make money. Whatever's the biggest latest thing, they're into it! You just get disgusted after a while with humanity for not having more kind of like, intellectual curiosity about what's behind all this Jive Bullshit"		1:01:21 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
PUFF	Mutation "Mutation" by "PUFF"	Rock Bottom	PUFF	2024	Speaking of derivative. No, this isn't the Ohsees but shows how far and deep the influence of quality modern garage rock has on new artists. Berlin's PUFFS are If Sean & Erin from THE SPITS were raised in 1980’s Germany by freaky parents with a kraut-rock collection, their band might have sounded a lot like PUFF. Three tracks of spastic and aggressive synth heavy rave-ups, sung often in German, from some of the heaviest pranksters around. These chuckle-headed Satanic funhouse psychedelic punk sounds are a direct response to the so-called “hipster” invasion Berlin has been plagued with for the last ten plus years. PUFF: KILLS PARTY PEOPLE ON CONTACT.		1:02:49 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Tine Hill	Money "Money" by "Tine Hill"	Participant	Tine Hill	2024	A fairly new release from June 2024...they are from Lake Placid, NY. "Participant" is Tine Hill's first album, featuring a mix of music collected over the past decade, previously unrecorded until this release. Tine Hill is also the bassist for Gustaf...which is why this song rocks!		1:05:27 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Neon Kittens	I Traded My Kingdom for Magic Beans	Side 3	Metal Postcard	2023	See the neon Kittens are indeed a wonderful erotic thing they offer down at heal post punk rock n roll put performed in cocktail dresses and velvet jackets , they are a stlyish affair they are slinky avant gard pop they are Serge Gainsbough played through a blender they are the most beautiful people to walk the planet but only looked at through a distorted mirror they offer hope for the future by nailing down the lid of the past they are Alec Chilton like but not in a Big Star way they are suffocating the Flies On Shebert then pulling off their wings . They are good bad and yes maybe a little evil they are also pretty much perfect in the most imperfect kind of way.		1:07:40 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Wife	Mr. Dingle The Strong "Mr. Dingle The Strong" by "Wife"	Starla's Theme	Chris Records	2023	Wife hail from San Francisco. This is all we know. So we'll leave it at that. Bands that have really common, impossible to search names and no band bios really frustrate us here at the Beach....		1:11:01 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Family Vision	Irony "Irony" by "Family Vision"	Plastic Form	Julia's War	2022	Family Vision are from NYC. American band Family Vision captures the essence of punk via their songs. Their music has frantic guitar riffs that convey the raw intensity of punk rock, heavy percussion, and edgy vocals. Family Vision's music radiates a sense of defiance and revolt since its songs frequently address issues of societal unrest, personal problems, and political commentary.		1:12:31 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Cyril Cyril	Les Gens "Les Gens" by "Cyril Cyril"	Les Gens Single	Born Bad	2020	People...oh..people. This is the second song we've featured by this very amazing band from Geneva. "the infinity of mirrors. Beyond the Atlas and Ararat mountains, the boomerang echo of a thousand others somewhere tells anyone who wants to hear it. With only a banjo, a guitar, strange drums, several voices and several languages as his companions, Cyril Cyril digs a laser furrow of the soul. The tandem, camouflaged as a fanfare-ghost, tumbles like a phoenix onto the dance floor"		1:14:06 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Theoreme	Moyen Age "Moyen Age" by "Theoreme"	L'appel du Midi à midi pile	Bruit Direct Disques	2016	Theoreme (the artist) is here to singe ears on this blistering solo debut. Laying down all the instrumentation ‘n vocals herself, Theoreme posits that spectres of the past continue to resonate in the contemporaneous milieu of the underground. This isn’t some Erik Von Daniken/Chariots Of The Gods bullshit. It’s the #>$&%^*ing truth! Deep inside the angular ingenuity of this chef d’oeuvre are subtle sonic vectors, analogous to Gutura, SIC & the corrosive side of Zickzack. Channeled or not, the adage remains, “Great minds think alike”. I can’t say for sure the French invented propositional logic, but they sure do guzzle it down. And Theoreme’s right there; two-fisted, bellied up & ready for bear. You want a cold war? Well son, here it is. Have at it.		1:17:16 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

Martin Bisi	No SUN In Berlin TEMPELHOF	Your Ultimate Urban Fantasy	Bandcamp	2024	From the new EP (May 2024) ‘Your Ultimate Urban Fantasy’--- "NYC-based legendary producer and experimental artist Martin Bisi. Bisi has been a central figure in the musical history of New York City for the past four decades. Founding Brooklyn’s BC Studio in 1981, he has helped develop post-Punk, No Wave and experimental culture through recordings of Brian Eno (On Land), Sonic Youth, Swans, John Zorn, Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit”, Afrika Bambaataa, Material/Bill Laswell, JG Thirlwell, Unsane, The Dresden Dolls, White Hills, Cop Shoot Cop and countless others. ////// It is therefore a special moment indeed when Bisi releases one of his own pieces, and it is a magnificent collection that eviscerates elements of modern society with poetic anger and frustration: perhaps representing a verbal skewering of decadence and decay. ////////// ’Your Ultimate Urban Fantasy’ is an immersive collection of vivid moments – sometimes discordant, always intense but with a common theme. Bisi says of the songs: "The songs are pretty descriptive and visual. You can see and feel these urban spaces, the real as well as imaginary ones in the sound as well as lyrics. I think the record is looking towards the 22nd century." //////// Cities, urban landscapes, desolation, entropy, decay and hypocrisy all feature. Bisi says: "Politically, cities are a big part of the future we’re heading into. Governments are reshaping the vision of how cities work. The music becomes a socio-musical commentary, echoing the dissonance often experienced in contemporary urban life while contemplating the environmental degradation intertwined with the urban narrative. “Master Plan For Retaking Williamsburg” is a live recording, where i removed the songs, and just left the improvisations between the songs. It’s significant because Williamsburg is a neighborhood that has been almost completely lost. Genevieve Fernworthy is pretty much the anchor."... ///////////////// ...Bisi’s urgent delivery continues in ‘No SUN In Berlin TEMPELHOF’, his wry delivery rampages over an ambulant music soundscape with intensity, as the music ebbs and flows. The title track coasts on a twirling Hammond organ base with ominous synth splashes as Bisi recounts the vicissitudes of life, an element of bleak despair." ///////////////////////// Martin Bisi is bringing his film / collective / world to Toronto @ Collective Arts on Saturday...

Dog Faced Hermans	H Tribe "H Tribe" by "Dog Faced Hermans"	Those Deep Buds Rebalanced & Remastered 2024	Alternative Tentacles / Konkurrel / Bandcamp	1994 / 2024	Released September 6, 2024 // Rebalanced and Remastered June 2024 by Colin McLean and Andy Moor // Originally released July 1, 1994... "Truly a classic from 1994, this last studio album from the Hermans is their masterpiece. From the propulsive, off-kilter hooks and grooves of Blessed Are The Follies, to the flamenco-influenced noise rock of Volkswagen and the disturbing reliving of the My Lai Massacre of Vietnam in Calley, this album brims with energy and intelligence. For all the glorious noisiness, singer/trumpeter, Marion Coutts never shouts, and at times sings in hushed, evocative tones which break through the mix very nicely. All the players are in top form here, and there isn't a weak track on the album. As usual, unorthodox instrumentation and an unlikely combination of folk, free jazz and post-punk elements fuse to form a signature sound unlike any other band before or since. /////// With production by noted U.K. boardsman Guy Fixsen. Those Deep Buds kicks with a vicious, smart passion, with lead figure Marion handling the vocals and aforementioned brass with aplomb. Fixsen's production brings out the strength in the individual performances while retaining space and depth in the mix, even when everything ratchets up to a full explosion Backed by the fine, ragged rhythm section of bassist Colin and drummer Wilf and playing off the rough, spindly riffing of guitarist Andy, she leads her charges down constantly unexpected musical detours with entertaining results. an unbelievably powerful and resilient record with some of the best lyrics to ever appear on a rock album." ------ Find here: https://dogfacedhermans.bandcamp.com/	*	1:32:51 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Ex	Great! "Great!" by "The Ex"	Great! / The Evidence [Single]	Ex Records	2024	Released September 9, 2024. "A 45RPM - 7inch single in celebration of The Ex s 45 th anniversary!!!!!! //////// Few bands are as focused on potential challenges, on what is yet to come, as The Ex. Which is pretty remarkable for a band celebrating 45 years of existence, a turbulent journey filled with an impressive series of highlights. However, nostalgia has never been this band’s forte, as they like no other succeed in reinventing themselves, finding new alliances and fascinating challenges along the way. Stay out of that comfort zone for long enough and it just might disappear. //////// So, in 45 years they did more than 2000 concerts in 45 countries. It was time for a new 45rpm 7” single. From the brand-new set they are playing full-on this year, they picked two blinking tracks: ‘Great!’ and ’The Evidence’. Urgent, willful, adventurous, open hearted and joyfully obstinate. As such, The Ex remains true to that one, indestructible adage: forward in all directions!" https://theex.nl/	*	1:37:52 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

OCS	This Dreadful Heart "This Dreadful Heart" by "OCS"	OCS Live At Permanent Roadhouse	Permanent Records	2024	So, yes, it's impossible to keep up w/ John Dwyer. I had read he was working on a bunch of releases that would clean up some loose ends in the studio that hadn't found proper homes. Then, on BC Friday, he made 4 albums available. There is no stopping him. 3 of those albums were from recent free-form Jazz explorations. The fourth is this, going back to the very earliest days of OCS/Thee Oh Sees/Osees... --- From his mouth: -- "During the holidays of 2023, Brigid Dawson and I got together at my house in Los Angeles and started transcribing a nice list of songs //// Some new, some very old that have never been played live ever, and we put together a holiday set list which we performed two nights in a row at Permanent Records Roadhouse in Los Angeles and did a bit of it at a charity event at the Lodge Room. Seven tunings later… It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of libation and celebration. We surrounded ourselves with good friends and came up with this charming off kilter set of recordings. I think they capture the casual energy of the evening in the mood of the crowd. Hope you enjoy". JPD" //// From Brooklyn Vegan: "OCS, the OSEES folk duo spinoff featuring John Dwyer and Bridget Dawson, are releasing Live at Permanent Records on November 29 via Rock is Hell. It comes in a variety of formats, including a 7″ box set that’s limited to only 200 copies. //// The album documents two special benefit shows OCS did in Los Angeles in December 2023. “It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of libation and celebration,” John Dwyer says. “We surrounded ourselves with good friends and came up with this charming off kilter set of recordings. I think they capture the casual energy of the evening in the mood of the crowd.” //// You can listen to “Dreadful Heart” and check out the album artwork and tracklist below. //// Meanwhile, OSEES just started their North American tour, which hits Brooklyn for two nights at Warsaw on October 24 & 25 with Upchuck and Godcaster, respectively."

	8:55pm ultradamno: external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	8:56pm Alli B: This song is making me laugh for some reason 😂
	8:57pm DJ Babs: It reminded me of WEEN
	8:57pm DJ Babs: Also when I saw this on the playlist I was delighted
	8:58pm ultradamno: Now I'm thinking of robot gams
	9:00pm Avspuk: ↳ Song: "Tunnel (Full Length Version)" by "Pulp" Sounding a fair bit like the Fall in this one. I feel that, perhaps, I make such comments fart oo often 😉
	9:01pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:58 Me too! And hello Avspuk!
	9:05pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi DJ Babs, Derek, and all!!!

	9:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:05 Hello there Will-thee-SG-OCNY... Where are sounds lurking this week?
	9:07pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:05 ohh that sounds tasty! I haven't had chips in many weeks. We are watching our waistlines here on the beach...gotta keep my calories for booze LOL
	9:07pm laurapanic: two more Australian bands not on my radar. But, there is SO MUCH GOOD SHIT DOWN HERE.
	9:07pm DJ Babs: Speaking of which tonight we are enjoying some Dark and Stormys
	9:07pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @9:07 Seriously these guys are the shit.
	9:07pm ultradamno: Oh, here's an article about Porky's Prime Cuts I came across this week www.soundandvision.com...
	9:08pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:05 I tried those only just last week at band practice!!!! Our drummer was quite a fan & happy to share... They are quite pleasing!
	9:09pm Kristine: ↳ laurapanic @9:07 there is a great aussie that lives in berlin, ned collette. he is great too. he was in a band called city city city when he lived in melbourne
	9:09pm v-dawg: Hi all.
	9:10pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:07 I'm working for a Pink Floyd cover band on Saturday... Been doing a lot of yardwork to get ready to build the Swing set that I took apart a few weeks ago. I hope you all are doing well tonight
	9:10pm DJ Babs: V Daawwwwwwgggg hello hello
	9:12pm v-dawg: Yes, i am late but have an excuse note from the georgian restaurant. Diet is over! Not that i was really on one!
	9:12pm DJ Babs: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:10 Ahh what era of Floyd? All the Floyd?
	9:13pm ultradamno: The Jah Wobble shuffle mastodon.social...
	9:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:12 Yay to diets being over!!! I hate the D word so we are calling it a "Lifestyle change" LOL
	9:15pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @9:13 Yes, lifestyle change, lifestyle of no pastries.
	9:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ v-dawg @9:15 i'd call that an "existencestyle," cuz a life without pastry is not worth living...
	9:16pm Kristine: ↳ v-dawg @9:15 welp my life right now
	9:16pm DJ Babs: I agree. And I still have pastry! Just not as much as I'd like to!!! LOL
	9:16pm Kristine: ok, this band is squirt in disguise no?
	9:17pm DJ Babs: Haha!No but they are super vague in their bio and hard to find info...
	9:17pm Kristine: i mean squid!
	9:18pm Scott_Oz: Thanks B&D! Gotta leave early to go help Dad put up a nesting box so the resident Rosellas can get their Spring on! 🌳🪺🦜🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	9:18pm DJ Babs: Oh by the way did you hear about Squid cancelling some of their tour? A member had a bad accident and smashed up their face...which sounds dreadful!
	9:18pm DJ Babs: Ahhh Scott...leaving the Beach to garden is a noble and neccessary and wonderful excuse!!!
	9:19pm DJ Babs: I'm so sad my flowers are dying and sad now...
	9:19pm v-dawg: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:16 Yes, the lifestyle of non-existant pastry. To tell the truth, one place said that there were done with blueberry pastries for the year, the other said that chef was on vacation so no walnut pastries.
	9:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @9:12 Ooooooo... Lovely reason to join in the later half... Not late though, no lateness on the Beach. It is merely a beach. Laying in wait, unconditionally.
	9:19pm DJ Babs: Stupid winter. :-(
	9:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:18 See you Scott... Happy nesting... Boxing... Rosellaing...
	9:20pm Kristine: shout out to les bains de paquis! best beach in gva
	9:20pm DJ Babs: Yes! U know I love the homeland content!
	9:21pm v-dawg: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:19 Quiet night at the restaurant and i have a full stomach to put in a good mood. I need it too! I have to clean the whole kitchen tonight.
	9:21pm Kristine: ca j'aime bien
	9:22pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:21 oof that is a big job to be sure!! But so rewarding!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:21 yeah this shit is tight! She released this in 2016...then nothing till 2021 and just a single. Boooo
	9:23pm DJ Babs: Great production on this. I love the guitar hard to one side.
	9:23pm Kristine: yeah, i havent heard many french performers like this. its very suicide also
	9:23pm ultradamno: One new thing I picked up on BC Friday was the Drrones new ep, there's almost hints of pop in the post-punk prog and it works...also the new Half Human, they keep getting better.
	9:25pm Kristine: de midi a midi pile meaning from noon to noon on the dot. haha
	9:26pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 You have a better point of view than i do. I have to do all this work on short notice. (Yes, i have already started.)
	9:29pm ultradamno: Music genre (literal) mastodon.social...
	9:32pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ DJ Babs @9:12 Mainly animals, dark side, some of the wall, some of meddle.
	9:39pm DJ Babs: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:32 Yeah, I’m good with that. I love Floyd all the way up to the Wall
	9:40pm DJ Babs: Fun fact, I don’t think Derek has ever seen The Wall…which needs to be rectified. You don’t even need to like Floyd to appreciate it.
	9:40pm Kristine: quite different from the ex eh derek?
	9:41pm Kristine: i havent seen it either
	9:41pm ultradamno: The Steadmanesque animation is nice
	9:42pm DJ Babs: From a film and an animation standpoint, it’s gorgeous
	9:42pm DJ Babs: Once in a while when I feel sad but can’t get a good cry out I watch “goodbye blue skies” LOL
	9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:40 I would climb a Wall to see The Ex again.
	9:43pm DJ Babs: VERY MUCH ENJOYING THE NEW EX. It has the “kluk”
	9:44pm Bob Barth: HELLO D & B! Loving the show tonight!
	9:44pm Kristine: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:43 LOL!
	9:44pm DJ Babs: Hiya Bob!
	9:45pm DJ Babs: KSpark ran a bit late but I think we are on schedule…whatcha got for us tonight? Last week’s show was great!
	9:45pm DJ Babs: Ohhh this is my tune of the week I can’t even with this groove
	9:45pm Alli B: I love it so much
	9:46pm DJ Babs: I feel That bass in my ovaries lol
	9:46pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @9:45 3 Fantastic films! 1 Docu series on Hair Metal!! & RINGO!! It's gonna be fun.
	9:46pm Alli B: Wiggle wiggle
	9:46pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @9:46 I think the bass is giving me ovaries.
	9:47pm Kristine: is he saying words backwards?
	9:47pm Kristine: its also called Stettin, pretty close to berlin!
	9:47pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Half kieliszka" by "Druty" This set is all BC Friday purchases, UltraD... I was thinking of you as I settled in to some late night shopping. Your gentle monthly reminders have oft left me feeling I've left something remiss in my usual BCF absenteeism. Rectified that, last Fri. Here it all is.
	9:48pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:47 I think backmasked AND forward, in Polish, near as I can tell...
	9:48pm ultradamno: I just can't listen to it without imagining Roger Waters wringing his hands and saying "no one will think of Tommy again, I tell you!!!"
	9:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:47 It sounds like backwards whatever eastern bloc country he mail Hail from?
	9:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:48 I know Roger Waters is like the Morrisey of the Smiths. Ewwww
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 Poland.
	9:49pm v-dawg: ↳ Song: "Half kieliszka" by "Druty" Polish language on wfmu again today. Ts-tSe-zin. They may not want us to learn their language, but they are not too upset when we butcher it.
	9:50pm DJ Babs: This is nice song
	9:50pm Kristine: ↳ v-dawg @9:49 LOL
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @9:49 There will be a Polish fest at the foot of our street all wknd. I quite enjoy it.
	9:51pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:50 Little chance Druty fly in to play it, I suspect.
	9:51pm DJ Babs: We live in little Poland…so there’s a lot of the old grannies pulling their grocery carts about. The deli nearby is a GEM. THE PICKLES.
	9:52pm Kristine: oh yeah! thanks for the reminder. also, pickle soup ! had that at the fest one year, hard to find after that
	9:53pm v-dawg: @babs, derek I have something for you that i just learned about, waffle pierogies.
	9:53pm DJ Babs: The fest is this weekend…
	9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Wake Up (BBC John Peel Session)" by "Essential Lo... I've the ten inch of this and The Flaming Stars one, they are nice little packages

	9:57pm Kristine: nice! grotesque is one of the first albums i bought a long time ago!
	9:58pm Kristine: and i like that the existing members curated it!
	9:58pm v-dawg: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:50 People butcher the name polish beer all the time. Last month, someone said, "I like this zeye vike or however you say it". Stuff yourself at the fest!
	9:58pm laurapanic: its Bob Barth time!!!!!
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:57 The first I listened to!!!!
	9:58pm Kristine: he is probably having his say by making objects move, or flickering lights, we know him
	9:59pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:53 If you don't know Flaming Stars (and a lot of people seem not to) they are a great band with ties to Gallon Drunk and Sting-Rays/Bananamen and have a few albums on Alternative Tentacles. Their first album on Vinyl Japan, Songs From The Barroom Floor is mandatory, but that Precious Recordings is of similar vintage and more immediately available.
	9:59pm Bob Barth: Follow me this way gang into the next hour wfmu.org...
