SIR LANCELOT PRATT:

Salutations Tony,
I must confess at first gander I thought The Larry Mondello Band were a wedding and Bar Mitzvah celebration dance band!
They gave no hint (at least in name) that they had something of Throbbing Gristle about them.
No good to be too prejudicial. Must be sitting round the castle look at old armour suits!

WKCR? When were you DJ on that station and are there any playists and archives for that period?

glenn:

t.g. as a wedding band? that'd be kinda great actually.
Avatar 12:11pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Sir LP: Was on KCR for years, from '84 or '85 up until around 2008. Meaning I was on both FMU and KCR at the same time for many years. Not a single KCR archive exists -- they didn't have any kind of archiving system.

No track titles on this Klang Association tape, by the way.
Avatar 12:14pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:

T.G. did have an album called 20 Jazz funk greats though. Having never heard it I would doubt that it sounded anything like Herbie Hancock or Lonnie Listen Smith? But I could be wrong!

Tony Coulter:

You're not wrong!

Snortley:

Funny thing about the KCR show; I don't recall ever hearing your name mentioned there, though it was obviously you from the voice and music. Then there's that Mad Dog guy confusing things further...
Avatar 12:17pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey Snortley! I still get email for the Mad Dog -- even though he spells his name differently -- he spells his last name "Colter."

Snortley - could have sworn your profile picture just changed colour! Is it you or the high grade stuff I am using!

If anyone's curious, the three rather sinister-looking cassettes I'm playing today are pictured here (with Mondello on the left): www.facebook.com...

MrFab:

Howdy, y'all! Actually Sir Pratt, as I recall, the title track at least to "20 jazz Funk Greats" was indeed a somewhat funky jazzy synth/drum machine kinda thing.

"industrial noise"! There's an '80s term I hadn't heard in ages. Seems that "industrial" at some point came to mean dance music for goths and not this sort of lovely stuff.
Avatar 12:31pm
Tony Coulter:

Greetings, MrFab. Yeah, the term industrial has long since been hijacked -- but I'm sticking to my guns, Wax Trax be damned.

SIR LANCELOT PRATT:

Mr Fab - thought T.G. title was tongue in cheek.
I seem to remember their music being somewhere beyond industrial, Crass gone atmospheric noise!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 12:34pm
listener james from westwood:

even al jourgenson of ministry eventually found that term amusing. in an interview he said, "oh, yes, 'industrial.' 'hey, trent reznor, let's get together and do some spot-welding.'"

Agreed, and stay righteous (re: don't let the pouting disco kids scowling through their black bangs rob us of the "industrial" term...well, they have, but anyway...)
Avatar 🥁 12:37pm
BSI:

Rather like... many of us making bedroom psych & experimental tape sounds in the 80s called it "noise" as a term of endearment, more than a descriptive thing. Much of it wasn't "noise" in the genre sense, just self-indulgent good fun.
Avatar 12:37pm
Mary Wing:

I didn't know you were on KCR simultaneously, Tony. You double-dipper DJ, you! :-) How'd you pull that off?

Avatar 12:39pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey Mary!! Believe it or not, I was on three stations for a couple of years: FMU. KCR, and NYC. The only explanation is that I am insane.
Avatar 12:39pm
Tony Coulter:

@ BSI: Glad you like it. Recorded live in a Queens bar (or something).
Avatar 12:40pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:

Tony, was it the same show on both stations or did you prepare completely different shows.
If so pray tell us what were the differences in philosophy between the two shows.
Was there more freedom on KCR say, or did they demand you play some top 20 shit as well?
Avatar 🥁 12:42pm
BSI:

ah, now i need to dig out my Mondo Cane VHS and dust it off...
Avatar 12:43pm
Tony Coulter:

@ SIR LP: Completely different shows. The KCR one was all experimental modern classical stuff.
Avatar 12:44pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:

is the station still going?
Avatar 12:45pm
Tony Coulter:

Yep, it is.
Avatar 12:48pm
Mary Wing:

Wow, that's dedication! And what did you play on WNYC?
Avatar 12:48pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Sir LP: It's not a freeform station -- it's divided into "departments": jazz, new music, world music, etc.
Avatar 12:51pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Mary Wing: Just your standard classical stuff -- did it for the money, to be honest. Though it was fun to fill in for David Garland.
Avatar 🥁 12:51pm
BSI:

This is great stuff, vintage '87... I don't suppose you have any of the old New Carrollton cassettes in your vast archive? (mid-late 80s DC area collective) -- some of that stuff might be prime "tape hiss" material. They were prolific little buggers.
Avatar 12:52pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Mary Wing: I was only ever a fill-in at NYC, but was on quite a bit for a while there.
Avatar 12:53pm
Tony Coulter:

@ BSI: Never hoid of New Carrollton. Sorry!

I'm really liking this tape! I missed the beginning of the show, but did you say where you got/found this?
Avatar 🥁 12:59pm
BSI:

well, to put it in perspective, tony:
New Carrollton was to Psychodrama, what nitrogen is to duct tape.
...that sums it up nicely.
Avatar 1:00pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Mary Wing: The band sent it to me a million years ago, before I was on FMU (for me to play on KCR). I don't think it ever came out.
Avatar 1:02pm
Tony Coulter:

And I'm not sure, actually, if they ever released anything -- there's a recent-ish label called Klang Association, but I don't think they're connected.
Avatar 1:07pm
Tony Coulter:

By the way, this side of the tape ends as abruptly as side A -- so don't worry that your computer is crashing.

@ Sir LP: NWW are great for sure -- don't know if I'd say any band/person is the leading proponent. There are so many flavors of noise....
Avatar 🥁 1:46pm
BSI:

Sir LP: Dunno about "noise" as such: I'd call NWW more like a modern Dadaist thing; from the cut-ups (Sylvie & Babs album) to the more freaked-out lounge music appropriations (Bacteria Magnet) ... heck, they're all over the map. Some dynamite drone material as well... All great, naturally.
Avatar 1:46pm
Tony Coulter:

You're welcome, Eddie!!
Avatar 1:47pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:

perhaps their list is even more famous than their music.
Avatar 1:51pm
Tony Coulter:

I wouldn't call NWW "noise" either, actually. Noise to me is stuff like Merzbow. I'm most drawn to NWW's collage/cut-up stuff.
Avatar 1:51pm

what one might call drill and bass music?

which was the band that use saw, drill and cut the stage up in their live performance?
was it Laidbach or Einzubeinubaten?

Why is the notice that this show is now aring banished to the bottom of the FMU homepage?

Dunno -- think that might be a random event. It has happened before. Blame the computer gods, not any mere mortals.

You're right, Mary! There's very little static cling.

MrFab:

"Leave It to Beaver", "Brady Bunch," "Father knows Best," "8 is Enough" - yeah, never watched any of 'em. I was living in boring American suburbia, why watch it on TV? Esp. when I could be watching "Speed Racer" or "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" or sumthin!

Same here: "Beaver Knows Best," "8 Is a Bunch" -- never watched any of them.
