From Radio’s Daniel Flessas:
Mint Chicks are huge back in New Zealand, but here in Portland, they’re actually enjoying a degree of anonymity they can’t get back home. We saw them playing at the Ash Street Saloon to about 6 people. They were having fun. We decided to mess with their unknown status by sneaking them onto the radio….late at night…
Say what you will about Moby (me, I don’t necessarily have an opinion about him one way or another), but this is pretty cool:
“hi,
i’ll keep this brief.
this portion of moby.com, ‘film music’, is for independent and non-profit filmmakers, film students, and anyone in need of free music for their independent, non-profit film….“
If you’re an independent radio or film maker, this is pretty sweet.
Thanks to Rabia for the link.
After a brief, Jazz-like detour, I paid tribute to the late, great Robert Moog, following his birthday last weekend. We heard some wonderful (Wendy Carlos), cheesy (Moog Party) and goofy (Perrey and Kingsley) synthesizer music. I also featured some pioneers of tape manipulation and electro-acoustics, with Steve Reich, Richard Trythall, Alvin Lucier and David Mahler. I might expand that theme out further on a future show, as I barely scratched the surface.

Lost World (UK Big Beat) 1988Shifting musical styles the way some people change addresses, singer/songwriter Alan Milman first surfaced on New York’s Long Island in 1977, with a 7-inch EP of tossed-off punk-rock jokes. Dropping the beat-era name for the modernized Man-ka-zam handle, Milman and guitarist Doug Khazzam returned a year later with another 7-inch: four derivative new wave tunes (including “Spankathon” and “Surf Rhapsody”). That was Milman’s last vinyl for a while (…)

Bob Moog would have been 75 today.
One of my first ever virtual fan letters I ever sent someone when I first got onto the web was to Bob Moog. I received a reply a week later that I am pretty certain was from him and not from an assistant, webmaster, etc. (I like to think so anyway).
Bob’s innovations transformed music forever. He was also a humble man who made it clear that he was just one in a long line of inventors and researchers.
The documentary on him, Moog is fascinating and I highly recommend it.

Tonight I started out with a mix selected partially by my shuffling iPod on my commute this morning, then it evolved into a guitar-centric mix with some Link Wray (tragically skipping record), some Sonny Sharrock and Robert Musso, Marc Ribot and then went all garage on you with the raucous sounds of Billy Childish outfit Thee Headcoats. I ended everything in a psychotic hillbilly mood, with Hasil Adkins, some Porter Wagoner and Eddie Noack’s Psycho, before Mr. Cheerful Boyd Rice closed the show.

The Late Music (Camera Obscura) 1998For a band with only two proper albums to its credit, Olivia Tremor Control has a discography that is among the most difficult to navigate in all of ’90s indie rock. The Athens-based quintet, one-third of the original hierarchy of the Elephant 6 Recording Company (co-leader Will Cullen Hart designed the collective’s distinctive logo), was seemingly incapable of completing a single project without a multitude of digressions, alternate versions, musique concrète experiments and assorted oddities.(…)

I ran across the wonderful Sacred Dub website over a year ago, when preparing for a big Bill Laswell marathon radio show.
Its discography on Laswell’s music was indispensable in my research into the murky waters of his work. At the time, I realized that they were podcasting, but was under the impression that they were either only sporadically ‘casting or had just begun.
Well, they are now at 50-plus shows. Each show runs the gamut of Laswell-related artists. Considering the length and breadth of his work, it’s more a question of who’s not involved.
