Tonight I played some very early electronic music and some spoken word pieces. After a bumpy start, I played some Walter Carlos’ wonderful Switched On Bach album. I also played some Charles Bukowski and some tracks from those great and hopelessly out-of-print Freeway spoken word albums from mid-Eighties LA. I also played a long excerpt from İlhan Mimaroğlu’s piece Six Preludes for Magnetic Tape from 1966.

Gary Lucas has toured Europe with Leonard Bernstein playing his Mass and was a member of Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band in its final recording lineup (on Ice Cream for Crow, after a cameo on the previous Doc at the Radar Station). He has produced albums for eclecticist Peter Gordon and jazz saxist Tim Berne and is a mainstay of Manhattan’s downtown avant-rock scene. He also joined Joan Osborne on her Relish album and co-wrote songs that appeared on Jeff Buckley’s Grace. Most of which efforts manifest the salient fact here: he’s one mutha of a guitarist(…)
I’ve been wanting to mix a live Halloween show for years since programming at KBOO, but one thing or another made it not happen. But tonight, I did and had a blast. It was a mix of tunes I’ve been rolling into my (semi) yearly Halloween mixes for a while with some relatively new discoveries, with some horror movie clips and the like thrown in for good measure. I love Halloween and to me, music and scary sounds are my favorite part of it – along with a few choice horror flicks. And this is probably going to be my whole Halloweening ritual for this holiday weekend; after three shows this week (Monday, Thursday and this show), I am beat!

Back on the air after a two week absence. I was preparing and giving a presentation on sampling and audio collage for a digital media class at WSU, so had to let the program go for a bit.
But I’m back this week with a new show. A lot of hubbub in the air room. We just had radio personality Rick Emerson on the show prior to mine, so people were packed in like sardines. He was a really nice guy. He did a talk at WSU, despite having just been let go from Portland station KUFO (to make room for the odious Ricker from Seattle). You can listen to his interview by station manager Cara C. here.
Here’s my show. A few old and new tunes. Nothing special, but glad to be back at the board.

Attempting a gothic sound comparable to mid-period Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bryan Gregory’s first post-Cramps project, the aptly titled Beast, was nothing like his old group. The Beast’s three 45s in the early-’80s were of mixed quality, and Gregory soon faded into obscurity. His three bandmates, however, moved to the UK and forged ahead as the Veil, releasing an underrated album of dark poptones like “Manikin,” “Twist” (both singles) and “Love in a Dying World” (a Beast remake). Vocalist Andrella’s wispy voice and quasi-Egyptian shtick manage to charm even when some of the material does not.(…)

Hi folks,
There won’t be any Kill Ugly Radio Adventure Hours for this and next week.
I have been asked to give a presentation on sampling and audio collage at Washington State University and am getting everything prepared for it.
In the meantime, I’m accumulating lots of new and new-to-me music, so you have that to look forward to.
I’ll be back doing my regular slot on the 29th (you can bet it’ll be Halloween/Samhain related) with a new show and I am going to be doing semi-regular slots over at KBOO in the rotating avant garde block on Monday evenings.
I’m also gratified to see that lots of folks seem to be finding the show archives and are listening and downloading. That’s why I do it.

Because I still had a ton of bad seventies songs left over from last week and because I still have so many putrid memories of that sad decade I needed to purge, I did it again.
Apparently a lot of my listeners had a similar need to expunge some yucky 1970’s tackiness, because a lot of what I played came from their suggestions.
So remember, dear listener, you only have yourself to blame and your own memories to deal with. I have to say, it’s been pretty therapeutic for me.
I went over my slot a bet, robbing the robo-DJ of 11 minutes or so, but just had to get it all done, once and for all.
I promise to never do this again.

I Found a Sound: A Brief History of Sampling and Appropriation in Music
Show from Monday October 5th, 2009
Dr. Zomb and RefuDJ ManRich present a chronological look at sampling, from it’s roots in Musique Concrete and Avant Garde, to the pioneering lp by Brian Eno and David Byrne, and on to culture jamming artists such as Negativland, John Oswald, Evolution Control Committee, as well as Turntablism in Hip Hop and finally, recent Mashup masterpieces.
Plunder Radio!!!
Fun show. We helped raise a few bucks for KBOO and presented in rough chronological order a somewhat abbreviated overview of sampling and appropriation in music. It’s amazing where the road will lead when you get two DJs in the room with pickings from their respective collections. We ended up continually surprising each other when one record from one of us would dovetail with something in another’s crate, with little or no pre-planning.
Dr. Zomb and I would like to thank all the folks who provided or suggested material, among them DJ Broken Window, Rolf Semprebon, Marc De Gierre, Mssr. Chris Merrick and more…
I would also like to dedicate this show to KBOO’s Papa Dada, the late, great Richard Francis, who blew my teenage mind by playing historic cut-up and tape art music on his show all those years ago.

Here’s something Tommy Hollywood and I mixed up the other night when we co-hosted The Outside World.
The Rupture happened while we were doing the radio show?. Was anyone Left Behind to listen to it?
Those of us still here can listen to it now.
It was an old Christian record entitled The Rapture, some sounds from War of the Worlds (the 50’s movie), stellar noise, bug noises, Tommy synth loops, elks mating and so much more.
