Black Friday Leftovers and The War on Terror: The Second Helping

Tonight I played a mix that I assembled when I thought I might schlep my ass down to the station on Black Friday and actually do a show. I didn’t, but the mix was still fresh nearly a week later with no sign of staleness. Shopping and spending’s a year-round duty and we all have to do our part.

Then I shifted gears and addressed Obama’s address he gave at West Point. The War on Terror was always so much bigger than a mere administration change.

So, it’s like two shows in one.
No playlist. Sorry. I was too busy mixing to write anything down, but the recipe goes something like this:
Sounds from Lalo Schifrin’s THX-1138 soundtrack, some news reportage of Black Friday, liberal doses of Harold Boheim’s Ad and the Ego (music by Negativland), something from something called Bonfire of the Brands, Ned Beatty in Network, some Snog, a lot of Negativland and probably more that I don’t remember.
The War on Terror II mix was Obama at West Point, Laibach’s Krst Pod Triglavom and Opus Dei, the film 1984 (from 1984), some Crass, Adrian Belew, local fave Rachel Taylor Brown and even something by Motorhead! Stir rapidly while simmering over a low boil.

NOTE ON QUALITY!: There are numerous drop-outs in the audio due to the cheap-shit equipment at the studio. While it didn’t affect the live broadcast, the recorded archive has the occasional drop in levels that I didn’t catch before uploading it. I might try to correct it, but I think the recording may be ruined. I am sorry!

Show from 11/12/09: Kill Ugly Radio Prayer Breakfast Edition

I decided that the FCC or radio station charter wasn’t going to stop me from having the Kill Ugly Radio Prayer Breakfast as planned. No stinking secular humanist is going to stand in my way! It’s a Faithapalooza!
God Almighty, let’s eat!

Show from 11/05/09

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.

Show from 10/30/09: Happy Halloween

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!

Show from 10/29/09

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.

Show from 10/08/09: The Schlocky Horrid 70’s Show Pt. 2

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.

Rapture Mix: Something Terrible’s Happening

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.

Show from 10/01/09: That Horrid 70s Show

The Seventies were weird.
I don’t mean The Stooges, Residents and Prog-Rock weird.
I mean there was some incredibly strange mainstream music on commercial radio throughout a big chunk of the 70’s and much of it was very bad. Bad then and really bad now.
Tonight, it’s Horrid 70’s music. Everything played was on the air a lot and much of it was on the Billboard top 100.

That’s how badly Viet Nam, Nixon and the economy affected us.

Show from 9/17/09 Musically Speaking

Tonight’s show was entitled Musically Speaking, featuring spoken word arts with music, or people speaking with music and under, over and through music.
With a few exceptions, no one’s singing and sometimes there’s speaking with no music.
Some obvious choices like William Burroughs, Gil Scott-Heron and few items from Giorno Poetry Systems records and the like. I played several short tracks by globe-trotting avant garde guitarist/vocalist Craig Burk, who used to do a show opposite me on KBOO.
I have enough of this hybrid-spoken-word-music to fill up several shows, so will continue this next week.

Show from 9/10/09

Back after a week-long absence – where I was ably assisted by The Melvillain Show.

I had loads of trouble with some new equipment in the studio and some unforeseen (ahem!) changes to the mixing board, so the first few minutes were a little dodgy.

I played a tribute of sorts to the recently-departed Richard Francis (see entry earlier this week), mixing Terry Riley’s In C, Tod Dockstader’s Apocalypse and Alvin Lucier’s I Am Sitting in a Room simultaneously.
We heard some seasonal transitional mood music (for me anyway), with Loudon Wainright’s Summer’s Almost Over about two weeks too late, but I’ve always wanted to play it and was gone last week. So there.
Then I played a few things I’ve been listening on my iPod and while working. We heard some lovely crooning by Chris Connelly (Pigface), Peter Hammill, David Tibet (Current 93)and Graham Lewis (Wire). We also heard some weird interpretations of Black Sabbath and more.
