KEG	Elephant "Elephant" by "KEG"	Girders (EP)	Alcopop! Records/BM	2022	This track was released by the Brighton-based Septet on June 29. "Ahead of the release of their new EP ‘Girders’ on 2nd September on Alcopop! Records/BMG, Keg are sharing new single ‘Elephant’. Speaking about the track, the band say, “Elephantine in rhythm, an excessive foray into our sillier instrumental faculties. Loosely written about a mass camel cull in Australia, sniped from a helicopter.”" -- "On the upcoming EP Girders the band say: “came about quite naturally, unconsciously it all seemed to line up, perhaps with the exception of ‘Kids’ which is just a nice radio friendly song about hating your offspring.“"	*	0:06:06 (Pop-up)
Dry Cleaning	Anna Calls From The Arctic	Stumpwork	4AD	2022	Newly released song from the forthcoming album, out October 21 on 4AD records. “The lyrics were partly inspired by phone calls with a friend who was living and working in the Arctic,” the band explains. “The song developed from a keyboard, bass and clarinet jam. This then took shape during our pre-recording sessions with John Parish and Joe Jones in Bristol and finalized at Rockfield studios a month later, with some musical inspiration coming from the dramatic scores of John Barry. The song is observational and sensual...” "...[it] also has a video featuring Dry Cleaning’s drummer, Nick Buxton, ice skating backwards on a closed rink."	*	0:08:33 (Pop-up)
MISZCZYK (feat. Craig Fahner)	Lunar Days	Thyrsis of Etna	We Are Time Records	2022	"For Toronto producer and multi-instrumentalist MISZCZYK (aka Nyles Miszczyk), his debut album, Thyrsis of Etna is world encompassing, from both the breadth of the sound to the globe spanning collaborators involved. The album, due out July 15th via We Are Time, features guest vocals on each track, including both legends and up-and-comers, with appearances from Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Vanessa Briscoe Hay (Pylon), Chad VanGaalen, The Space Lady, NAI, Chandra Oppenheim, and more. With vocal contributions from as far as Nigeria and France, MISZCZYK took the material he was given and built upon in it with smoky electronics and fuzzy atmosphere, at times channeling the work of Geoff Barrow while expanding into post-punk club bangers and futuristic pop. It’s a wild record, distilling sixteen different visions down to one logical album, the feeling of a mixtape colliding with the sound of a singular producer. Having already shared a slew of great singles, MISZCZYK is unleashing “Lunar Days,” a collaboration with Motorists’ Craig Fahner. The song has an effortless chemistry, with MISZCZYK tapping into a kinetic motorik pulse, pulling from the krautrock and jangle pop textures that Fahner’s band has become known for, while offering something decidedly different, as everything is dubbed and processed for radiant textures. It’s hypnotic and earnest, with Fahner’s vocal croon resembling Tom Verlaine at his finest. There’s a wonderful animated video, illustrated by Fiona Smyth, built on a similar wavelength of repetition, simplicity, and glitz." [Review from post-trash.com]	*	0:13:32 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Roy Budd	Get Carter - Theme, Original 7" Edit	Get Carter (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)	Jambo Records	1971 / 2019	From the 1971 film "Get Carter". "The majority of the film's music was composed by Roy Budd, a jazz pianist and composer, who had previously worked on soundtracks for Soldier Blue and Flight of the Doves. Aside from its score, Budd also composed three songs: "Looking For Someone", "Love Is A Four Letter Word" (with lyrics by Jack Fishman) and "Hallucinations". The theme (otherwise known as "Carter Takes a Train"), the best-known piece from the film, was played by Budd and the other members of his jazz trio, Jeff Clyne (double bass) and Chris Karan (percussion), and was recorded on a budget of £450. The musicians recorded the soundtrack live, direct to picture, playing along with the film. To save time and money Budd did not use overdubs, simultaneously playing a real harpsichord, a Wurlitzer electric piano and a grand piano. Budd described the experience as "uncomfortable, but it sounded pleasant". The theme tune features the sounds of the character's train journey from London to Newcastle. The theme was released as a 7" vinyl single by Pye Records in 1971, titled simply Carter and backed with "Plaything", another piece composed for the soundtrack. Original copies of the record are much sought after by collectors and sell for around £100. The soundtrack—including pieces not used in the film—was originally only available in its entirety in Japan, where it was released on Odeon Records. It was released in the UK in 1998 by the Cinephile label, a subsidiary of Castle Communications. In 2012, the theme was included on the Soul Jazz Records compilation British TV, Film and Library Composers."		0:15:10 (Pop-up)

The Casual Sexists	Let's Go To The Beach	Let's Go To The Beach	Ghoul Tapes	2017	The Casual Sexists are a pop band that exist in both the past and the future. They sound like the darkest deepest recesses of Danceteria in NYC in 1982…Like gum chewing teenage girls telling a shop owner to fuck off in London in 1988 after he’s asked them to leave because they are scaring the other customers…Like the love baby of 80’s minimalist classic “Laid Back” by White Horse, Cristina’s “Sleep it Off ” album, The Slits, Shampoo, and “West End Girls”…but they also sound like the future : DIY clever, sticky, and disposable in the best way. This 2017 release is the result of Varrick and Ed Zed squirreling themselves away in their apartment with a menagerie of grubby synths and bad animal samples to craft this brand new EP. Dislocated dance floor pop, musique concrète and a touch of juke/footwork are thrown into the Casuals' blender as they explore memory, ennui and vinyl fetishism.		0:24:10 (Pop-up)
Kamikaze Palm Tree	In The Sand "In The Sand" by "Kamikaze Palm Tree"	The Hit EP	Drag City	2022	Seven years back, Dylan Hadley and Cole Berliner emerged fully formed from the wilds of San Francisco as Kamikaze Palm Tree. In 2022 Drag City welcomed KPT to their island destination. Their latest singles from the upcoming “Mint Chip” album are on hard repeat at the poolside jukebox, with their latest band lineup featuring the musical prowess of Josh Puklavetz (White Fence) on bass and Sofia Arregiun (Wand) on keyboards. The songs: their imagined pictures—anything from faintly to innately ridiculous—are somehow intimate while devoid of context. “None of the songs are about anything.” Ambiguity and nostalgia, hand in hand, and you, cognitive and dissonanced, humming along.	*	0:27:40 (Pop-up)
Famous	Surf's Up "Surf's Up" by "Famous"	England	Untitled Records	2019	Surf’s Up! is named after a Beach Boys album, which Merrett describes as ‘phenomenally bleak’. The song imagines a series of very ordinary interactions, with each one provoking a more dramatised and hysterical reaction. Exploring the tension between narcissism and insecurity the lyrics instil the ugly and mundane with romance and hyperbole, a reaction to Jack’s anxious and confusing adolescence. Taking the banal aspects of his personal interactions with life and introducing theatricality has helped to navigate life’s pressures. Famous are Jack Merrett (vocals), Joscelin Dent-Pooley (synths), James Ogram (synths), George Gardner (Bass), Tiernan Banks (guitar), Danny Sanders (drums).		0:29:20 (Pop-up)
Wah Together	I'm A Swimmer "I'm A Swimmer" by "Wah Together"	Let's Wah Together	Dedstrange	2021	Wah Together rejects anti-social techbro musical austerity in favor of spontaneous face-to-face creation. On their debut LP, Let's Wah Together, the NYC-based quartet of bassist Phil Mossman (LCD Soundsystem), drummer Vito Roccoforte (The Rapture), producer/guitarist Steve Schiltz (Longwave), and vocalist Jaiko Suzuki revel in the communal delight that happens when happy accidents are caught on tape. Tracked principally live and in close quarters, Let's Wah Together captures the immediacy and spontaneity of a group of musicians listening to – and playing off – one another with genuine affection, curiosity, and joy.		0:31:49 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: MonoNeon	Microbettywright "Microbettywright" by "MonoNeon"	Microbettywright (Microtonal Southern Soul)	Dwayne Thomas Jr.	2012	Dwayne Thomas Jr, professionally known as MonoNeon, is a bassist, luthier, experimental musician, songwriter and YouTuber. His work, spanning multiple experimental projects and collaborations, including Prince, has seen an online cult following.Thomas was the last bassist Prince hired before his death in 2016, and he additionally collaborated with American singer Ne-Yo in 2010. He has since become known for his videos that harmonize viral videos with basslines, and his compositions that utilize microtonality.He is a native of Memphis, Tennessee.		0:36:20 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Xotla	Moment "Moment" by "Xotla"	Microtonal Funk & Blues Vol 1	375495 Records DK	2022	"My name is Declan Clark, I compose under the alias 'Xotla'. I live in an area known for its beautiful forests and diverse wildlife to the East of Melbourne, which heavily inspires the music I write. I primarily create funk and breakbeat music, with a mixture of unusual time signatures and esoteric tunings, currently focussing on 17 tone equal temperament, utilising a custom microtonal guitar."		0:39:43 (Pop-up)

Colin Newman	But No [Riverside Demo]	A -Z	Sentient Sonics	1980 / 2016	From Colin Newman's debut solo album, released just as his band Wire took a 5-year break. This is the studio demo, with a much more direct and stripped down performance. Despite the relatively straight-forward sonic palette, the track builds and gathers up a fair amount of tension as it unfolds to its conclusion.		1:14:11 (Pop-up)
Colin Newman	But No "But No" by "Colin Newman"	A -Z	Sentient Sonics	1980 / 2016	Studio version of the aforementioned track. Heavily layered with many more elements than the demo, it is much more extreme in mix & production. The tension created through the track seems to be of a different nature, though. Played back to back, these two versions not only give the opportunity for an A/B comparison, but also the possibility of reimagining the song as a relentless, shifting, 7+ minute epic.		1:18:00 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Harry Partch	Castor & Pollux - A Dance For The Twin Rhythms Of Gemini From Plectra & Percussion Dances	The World Of Harry Partch	Columbia Masterworks	1969	"Harry Partch (June 24, 1901 – September 3, 1974) was an American composer, music theorist, and creator of unique musical instruments. He composed using scales of unequal intervals in just intonation, and was one of the first 20th-century composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales, alongside Lou Harrison. He built custom-made instruments in these tunings on which to play his compositions, and described the method behind his theory and practice in his book Genesis of a Music (1947). Partch composed with scales dividing the octave into 43 unequal tones derived from the natural harmonic series; these scales allowed for more tones of smaller intervals than in standard Western tuning, which uses twelve equal intervals to the octave. To play his music, Partch built many unique instruments, with such names as the Chromelodeon, the Quadrangularis Reversum, and the Zymo-Xyl. Partch described his music as corporeal, and distinguished it from abstract music, which he perceived as the dominant trend in Western music since the time of Bach. His earliest compositions were small-scale pieces to be intoned to instrumental backing; his later works were large-scale, integrated theater productions in which he expected each of the performers to sing, dance, speak, and play instruments. Ancient Greek theatre and Japanese Noh and kabuki heavily influenced his music theatre. Encouraged by his mother, Partch learned several instruments at a young age. By fourteen, he was composing, and in particular took to setting dramatic situations. He dropped out of the University of Southern California's School of Music in 1922 over dissatisfaction with the quality of his teachers. He took to self-study in San Francisco's libraries, where he discovered Hermann von Helmholtz's Sensations of Tone, which convinced him to devote himself to music based on scales tuned in just intonation. In 1930, he burned all his previous compositions in a rejection of the European concert tradition. Partch frequently moved around the US. Early in his career, he was a transient worker, and sometimes a hobo; later he depended on grants, university appointments, and record sales to support himself. In 1970, supporters created the Harry Partch Foundation to administer Partch's music and instruments."		1:21:04 (Pop-up)
Wombo	Just Like Time "Just Like Time" by "Wombo"	Keesh Mountain EP	Fire Talk	2021	The weird world of Wombo is a kaleidoscopic journey of sharp turns and surprising visions, a melting pot of influences with a cheeky cheshire-cat grin that coalesce into a trippy but infinite universe, a portal into their unique vantage point without limitation. Already committed to living outside the traditionally-heralded country sound of the music scene in their hometown of Louisville Kentucky, Sydney Chadwick (vocals) and Cameron Lowe (guitar) had previously played in punk pop band the Debauchees, and with the addition of Joel Taylor (drums) in 2016 they found a winning combination of more straightforward indie rock combined with Chadwick’s pitched up, oscillating vocals and unpredictable shifts in melody that see the band moving forward at an impressive pace. Their 2018 album “Blossomlooksdownuponus” is a snapshot of Wombo’s wide-ranging aspirations that careen across avant pop, psych and wonky post punk interludes with a sky’s-the-limit approach to translating the mundanity of regular life into their own high-frequency language.		1:27:25 (Pop-up)
Nicfit	Human Inane "Human Inane" by "Nicfit"	Fuse	Upset The Rhythm	2022	Nicfit - 'Fuse' Nicfit are a four-piece punk band from Nagoya, Japan. Comprising Hiromi on vocals, Charley on guitar, KenKen on bass and Kuwayama on drums the group are by turns melodic and menacing. Nicfit are a nervous itch, incessant and impossible to predict. Nicfit borrow from hardcore, noise rock, and no wave with such abandon that it makes for a sound all their own, even if they make it easy to spot their roots at times. James Chance Skronk...Urinals hardcore...Jesus Lizard...Sonic Youth...it's all there...		1:29:43 (Pop-up)
Mitraille	House Paint Ad "House Paint Ad" by "Mitraille"	Mitraille	Belly Button Records	2021	Mitraille plays garage punk music and likes Motörhead. After releasing 3 piggypunk EP's (of which 2 on Belly Button) over the last couple of years, it's now time for something bigger...a full length! Mitraille are: Bas/voc= Dennis Van Hoof Guitar/voc= Mathias Roggeman Drums= Rafael Valles Hilario They are from Antwerp and are currently playing around at a festival near you!		1:33:08 (Pop-up)
Cobra Man	Cool, Nice. "Cool, Nice." by "Cobra Man"	Cool, Nice. Single	Cool, Nice	2022	Inspired by a request from Los Angeles skateboarding collective the Worble, musician Andy Harry formed electro-punk duo Cobra Man with his friend Sarah Rayne. Their first foray into making music as Cobra Man being the score to the Worble "ManRamp" video which is yes...a video featuring using people as skateboard ramps. Cobra Man love disco, but they clearly love punk. I am confused by this band. But I like it.	*	1:35:11 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Horse Lords	Radiant City "Radiant City" by "The Horse Lords"	The Common Task	Northern Sky	2022	Horse Lords are an American avant-garde rock band from Baltimore. The band plays experimental music with elements of krautrock, post-punk, Appalachian and African musical traditions, polyrhythmia, arcane tunings and electronics. The band uses the just intonation tuning system favored by avantgarde composers La Monte Young and James Tenney, so the musicians are playing hand-modified guitars with repositioned frets, re-tuned and customized by band member Owen Gardner.		1:38:12 (Pop-up)

Zounds	Can't Cheat Karma "Can't Cheat Karma" by "Zounds"	Curse Of The Zounds + Singles	Rough Trade	1981	Zounds are an English anarcho punk/post-punk band from Reading, Berkshire, England, formed in 1977. Originally they were part of the cassette culture movement, releasing material on the Fuck Off Records label, and were also involved in the squatting and free festival scene. The band met up with fellow anarchists Crass when, legend has it, their van broke down on the road. They made their way to nearby Dial House, where Crass were based, who helped them with repairs. The two bands became friends, and although musically very divergent, they shared many common political views. The band split up in late 1982, after becoming disaffected with the anarchist music scene in general and the band worn out from touring. They reformed in 2007 and were once again active for a few years.		1:42:28 (Pop-up)
Loose Fit	Pull The Lever "Pull The Lever" by "Loose Fit"	Pull The Lever Single	FatCat Records	2020	The debut self-titled EP by the Sydney based group delivers a snapshot of their signature groove driven post- punk sound in one short, sharp hit. Informed by a DIY work ethic, the group recorded the EP in one weekend, employing the help of friend and Sydney musician/producer/engineer Jonathan Boulet. (Party Dozen) Says Vocalist Anna of their style: “One thing that we all love as a band that we lean into when we’re writing songs are things that are a bit jarring and grate against each other… I really enjoy curating a dance between being tightly controlled and completely unhinged between the vocals and the sax.”		1:45:10 (Pop-up)
Gloop Unit	Imitation "Imitation" by "Gloop Unit"	Imitation	Gloop Unit	2022	From the get-go, ‘Imitation’ oozes with a spiralling kaleidoscope of addicting melodies and an insuperable groove. Addressing the fact that, at times, relationships can feel almost synthetic. Ravaged by choking intensities, cultivating a wonder into where true intentions lie. There are rumours that the band spawned from a lab, after test tubes of a viscous jazzy substance and punky microbes, discovered from the cosmos, got mixed up in one of David Bryne’s old microwaves.		1:48:17 (Pop-up)
Donzii	Mines "Mines" by "Donzii"	Mines 12"	Grey Market Records	2018	Miami’s Donzii is a time-bending, post-punk vision: a unity of go-hard industrial bangers, darkly ambient balladry, and new takes on the funk traditions of No Wave. Whether on stage or on record, Donzii's music is heavily evocative of the heat, humidity, music blasting out of car windows, push-and-pull between development and natural beauty, and the slightly enigmatic vibes of Miami. Both Fuller and Balfe agree. "Miami is a tropical paradise in peril," says Balfe. "This reality shades my creative output with heavy references to time, death, decay and opulence as diversion from truth.Whether on stage or on record, Donzii's music is heavily evocative of the heat, humidity, music blasting out of car windows, push-and-pull between development and natural beauty, and the slightly enigmatic vibes of Miami.

	8:05pm DJ Babs: Ah yes that's MeepMoops job, making everyone aware of air time! Hello Ultradamno, Mr. Fab, Krys! Feldy! Ready to get a bit wonky and microtonal?
	8:06pm Matt from Body Breaks: Hey everyone! My power's out but as long as my phone lives I'll be here!
	8:06pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Scott, Ultra, Fab, KrysO, Feldy, hello hello one & all!
	8:06pm DJ Babs: YAY Matt! Hello Hello!!! Just freakin out to your amazing song!
	8:06pm Derek Westerholm: Matt, hello! Welcome! Hurrah!
	8:06pm Feldy: This is quite good
	8:07pm Derek Westerholm: Matt will be happy to hear that, Feldy!
	8:07pm DJ Babs: I must say I'm im a microtonal mood lately. It's all about the spaces in between....
	8:08pm Matt from Body Breaks: Thank you Feldy!
	8:08pm Mr Fab: microtonal music is fascinating. But it's difficult with most off-the-shelf instruments. Someone has to custom-make them. Until someone sells microtonal guitars n keyboards, it's unfortunately going to be a very niche specialty.
	8:08pm Tyler: 'Allo!
	8:08pm DJ Babs: Matt did you say your power is out!?!?!
	8:09pm Derek Westerholm: Is your entire block without power Matt, or just your phone?
	8:09pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Tyler!
	8:09pm DJ Babs: Hello Tyler! So nice to see you! And Mr. Fab luckily we hav a microtonal expert in the house tonight...Matt From Body Breaks...so I'm sure he can answer all pertinent questions loll
	8:10pm DJ Blush: Heloooooo
	8:10pm Matt from Body Breaks: I used two standard guitars Mr. Fab. Where there is a will there's a way! Yeah, my whole block is down.
	8:11pm Tyler: Hi Derek, Babs and Mrs. Doubtfire Britt!
	8:11pm DJ Blush: Looool
	8:12pm DJ Babs: Hello Blush my dear so so nice to see you!!!
	8:12pm Derek Westerholm: Does it come down to a matter of fine tuning, then, Matt?
	8:12pm Tyler: This song sounds like the ash burning off a cigarette after a long day...
	8:13pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Blush!
	8:14pm DJ Babs: I think this is the Dry Cleaning song that's finally gotten me hooked...it took a while!
	8:14pm Matt from Body Breaks: Yeah, just two guitars tuned 50 cents or a quarter tone apart. Butvof course there are infinite ways to tune any string instrument to any pitches, whether they correspond to notes on the piano or not. Jandek is a great example.
	8:15pm Tyler: It has a staring off into space quality I quite like...
	8:15pm DJ Babs: I know that king gizzard and the lizard wizard used a mix of custom and regular guitars on their microtonal album...and I think there are other types of keyboards like the oriental organ that are just essentially built for eastern microtonal tunings...
	8:17pm Alli B: Hi guys!
	8:17pm DJ Blush: Definitely just stared into space for the last 5 minutes
	8:17pm Tyler: There are a whole bunch of keyboard controllers out there that can handle microtones. I also saw a clip years ago of a Jazz pianist playing Persian songs with lots of microtonals using a standard piano.
	8:17pm DJ Blush: Alli!
	8:17pm DJ Babs: hlloooooo Alli! Glad to have you with us tonite!!!
	8:17pm Matt from Body Breaks: Some digital keyboards have microtonal tunings built in. Charanjit Singh used one of these for his live performances a few years ago.
	8:18pm Alli B: So happy to be here!
	8:18pm DJ Babs: @Blush I've been doing that alot lately lol
	8:18pm Tyler: @DJ Blush - totally zoning out here as well - it's been a busy week :)
	8:18pm Tyler: 'Allo Alli B!
	8:19pm Tyler: 'Get Carter' is class
	8:19pm Matt from Body Breaks: Very true Tyler! Hafez Modirzadeh often retunes pianos for his performances. Vijay Iyer is one pianist who played with him on one of those.
	8:20pm VinylVillainSean: Hola!
	8:21pm Tyler: @Matt from Body Breaks - Yeah, exactly. Then there's always Steve Reich's mods to instruments...
	8:21pm Tyler: Hi Sean!
	8:21pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Sean!!!
	8:22pm Mr Fab: I've never tuned a piano. I leave that to the experts. Honestly wouldn't have the foggiest idea how. It's a whole other kinda skill.
	8:22pm VinylVillainSean: Howdy gang!
	8:22pm DJ Blush: Heeeey!
	8:22pm Alli B: Hi Tyler!
	8:22pm DJ Blush: And hello Tyler and everyone
	8:23pm Tyler: @Mr. Fab - yeah I've never tried that either. Would only ever attempt it on a salvage piano - too afraid of messing up a valuable instrument.
	8:24pm Mr Fab: A six-string guitar, no prob!
	8:25pm Tyler: Yeah, a guitar I can tune by ear. Never bought a guitar tuner.
	8:28pm ultradamno: Baby Elephant Walt is what's evoked by the phrase 'elephantine rhythms' for me
	8:28pm DJ Blush: Hope you're all having a relaxing night, I know I am with these killer tunes, a joint, and my cats are cuddled around my bose speaker
	8:29pm DJ Babs: I'm enjoying a vodka cherry soda and hanging out with you all!!!
	8:29pm Mr Fab: Right on, Tyler! Guitar tuners look like they're more trouble than they're worth. Certainly more expensive. But micro-tuning guitars is another story - I would think that all those frets would get in the way. There's some crazy pics i've seen of radically re-fretted micro-tuned guitars. You really got to be a bit of a craftsman for some of those babies.
	8:29pm Tyler: Sounds wonderful, Britt. May need to pop out to the backyard for a C-gar later...
	8:29pm DJ Blush: hell yeah, gonna be a beautiful night
	8:30pm ultradamno: Baby Elephant Walk, that is. Trying to type with a cat on my chest...
	8:30pm DJ Blush: it's a new moon tonight, apparently
	8:31pm DJ Babs: new moon new beginnings......
	8:32pm DJ Blush: The Rapture and LCD are two of my fav bands – how have I never heard this before!? Incredible
	8:32pm DJ Blush: Cheers to fuckin that, B
	8:32pm Tyler: @Mr. Fab - lots of mods on guitars, like the Velvets 'Ostrich Tuning' where every string is tuned to the same note. I suppose on guitar with some precise technique on where you place your fingers on the space between the frets you could manage some microtones without changing the standard tuning.
	8:32pm DJ Babs: I really like this band a lot!
	8:33pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, typing about Elephants with a cat on your chest... Sounds like there's an abstract poem in there somewhere...

	8:35pm Mr Fab: We got a new moon?! What happened to the old one? (Sorry) I did the Ostrich Tuning on the ol gee-tar - top 3 strings tuned to E, bottom 3, all Es an octave higher. Perhaps not surprisingly, it sounded just like Sonic Youth.
	8:35pm DJ Babs: Tis a crunchy bass to be sure!
	8:36pm Tyler: Cheers, Britt! Don' blame if you get hooked like me ;)

	9:30pm Derek Westerholm: Oh, Sean, I'm sorry to hear that... Mend up fast... Sending you healing vibes through the airwaves...
	9:30pm Tyler: @Sean - sorry to hear. Those microtonals can be brutal on the back :) I find a hot, steamy shower helps to get the muscles to relax & lying on a firm surface like the floor or a bench helps in the realignment. Hope you feel better!
	9:31pm DJ Blush: Aww hey I'm not worried, all that matters to me is that you feel okay!
	9:31pm VinylVillainSean: These songs are all the healing I need @derek 🖤 @tyler im totally going to do that after I fetch my laundry in a second

	9:37pm Tyler: Enjoy the paints, Britt! Haven't done in years but should. Just nowhere to store them anymore - under the bed is full :)
	9:37pm DJ Babs: lol I'm so conflicted by this song. It's so cheesy but I really like it LOL

	9:38pm DJ Babs: it's a bunch of wrongs making a right lol
	9:38pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, right??!!
	9:38pm DJ Blush: Cool, Nice is the best name for an album ever
	9:39pm Tyler: I was listening to a UK Reggae comp I bought last summer and there is this total ear-worm song with the chorus 'I'm just here to nice-up the session'.
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: DJ Blush, glad to hear you're inspired to reapply your brushes to your canvasses! That's very wonderful to hear.
	9:41pm ultradamno: Voltron isn't the mantis on Space Ghost?
	9:42pm Tyler: Brushes by Blushes :)
	9:42pm egould: Post punk Appalachian African microtonal electropunk raga & Western.
	9:42pm DJ Blush: Hahahah Yes! The stories are true!

	9:48pm DJ Blush: me likey
	9:48pm DJ Babs: you got that right. apparently he's obsessed with falling birth rates and doing his part...
	9:49pm DJ Babs: yes this is a great tune eh blush!?
	9:49pm Tyler: THAT Bass!
	🏝 9:50pm Scott67: I'm still here, just not so chatty today. My Flu feels almost better, but still got a head full of snot. 🍻😎🤙💨🦠🦑🦠🦞🦠🦠
	9:50pm Tyler: @Scott67 hope you feel better soon.
	9:50pm VinylVillainSean: Love this
	9:51pm ultradamno: By the way, that Zounds reminded me of Desperate Bicycles, which shouldn't be too surprising, but I never put them together before.
	9:51pm Derek Westerholm: Oh Scott, sorry to hear that... No need to struggle with the chatting, just enjoy the listening, if it's pleasing you!
	9:51pm Tyler: Some Microtonals will clear that snot right up :)

	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, XTC ref.?

	9:55pm DJ Babs: omg I swearr I got the last bicycle in Toronto right before the pandemic hit...
	🏝 9:56pm Scott67: Cheers Tyler!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	9:56pm DJ Babs: or as the pandemic hit I should say!
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, it was super hard to find bikes in Toronto in the earliest days of the pandemic
	9:57pm Tyler: With fuel prices being what they are and the TTC being a total shit-show these days I'm not surprised people are opting to cycle...
	9:58pm ultradamno: Watching Flatbush Misdemeanors it occurs to me that well-stocked bike shop should be doing more business then...
	9:58pm Tyler: Maybe Igor Kenk is back in town :)
	9:59pm egould: Thanks Band and Derek!
	10:00pm Tyler: 'Zounds!
	10:00pm egould: Babs and Derek!

This is one of the microtonal songs from the Montreal/Toronto duo's debut record. It is also the first record released on the "We Are Time" label.

KEG	Elephant "Elephant" by "KEG"	Girders (EP)	Alcopop! Records/BM	2022	This track was released by the Brighton-based Septet on June 29. "Ahead of the release of their new EP ‘Girders’ on 2nd September on Alcopop! Records/BMG, Keg are sharing new single ‘Elephant’. Speaking about the track, the band say, “Elephantine in rhythm, an excessive foray into our sillier instrumental faculties. Loosely written about a mass camel cull in Australia, sniped from a helicopter.”" -- "On the upcoming EP Girders the band say: “came about quite naturally, unconsciously it all seemed to line up, perhaps with the exception of ‘Kids’ which is just a nice radio friendly song about hating your offspring.“"	*	0:06:06 (Pop-up)
Dry Cleaning	Anna Calls From The Arctic	Stumpwork	4AD	2022	Newly released song from the forthcoming album, out October 21 on 4AD records. “The lyrics were partly inspired by phone calls with a friend who was living and working in the Arctic,” the band explains. “The song developed from a keyboard, bass and clarinet jam. This then took shape during our pre-recording sessions with John Parish and Joe Jones in Bristol and finalized at Rockfield studios a month later, with some musical inspiration coming from the dramatic scores of John Barry. The song is observational and sensual...” "...[it] also has a video featuring Dry Cleaning’s drummer, Nick Buxton, ice skating backwards on a closed rink."	*	0:08:33 (Pop-up)
MISZCZYK (feat. Craig Fahner)	Lunar Days	Thyrsis of Etna	We Are Time Records	2022	"For Toronto producer and multi-instrumentalist MISZCZYK (aka Nyles Miszczyk), his debut album, Thyrsis of Etna is world encompassing, from both the breadth of the sound to the globe spanning collaborators involved. The album, due out July 15th via We Are Time, features guest vocals on each track, including both legends and up-and-comers, with appearances from Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Vanessa Briscoe Hay (Pylon), Chad VanGaalen, The Space Lady, NAI, Chandra Oppenheim, and more. With vocal contributions from as far as Nigeria and France, MISZCZYK took the material he was given and built upon in it with smoky electronics and fuzzy atmosphere, at times channeling the work of Geoff Barrow while expanding into post-punk club bangers and futuristic pop. It’s a wild record, distilling sixteen different visions down to one logical album, the feeling of a mixtape colliding with the sound of a singular producer. Having already shared a slew of great singles, MISZCZYK is unleashing “Lunar Days,” a collaboration with Motorists’ Craig Fahner. The song has an effortless chemistry, with MISZCZYK tapping into a kinetic motorik pulse, pulling from the krautrock and jangle pop textures that Fahner’s band has become known for, while offering something decidedly different, as everything is dubbed and processed for radiant textures. It’s hypnotic and earnest, with Fahner’s vocal croon resembling Tom Verlaine at his finest. There’s a wonderful animated video, illustrated by Fiona Smyth, built on a similar wavelength of repetition, simplicity, and glitz." [Review from post-trash.com]	*	0:13:32 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Roy Budd	Get Carter - Theme, Original 7" Edit	Get Carter (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)	Jambo Records	1971 / 2019	From the 1971 film "Get Carter". "The majority of the film's music was composed by Roy Budd, a jazz pianist and composer, who had previously worked on soundtracks for Soldier Blue and Flight of the Doves. Aside from its score, Budd also composed three songs: "Looking For Someone", "Love Is A Four Letter Word" (with lyrics by Jack Fishman) and "Hallucinations". The theme (otherwise known as "Carter Takes a Train"), the best-known piece from the film, was played by Budd and the other members of his jazz trio, Jeff Clyne (double bass) and Chris Karan (percussion), and was recorded on a budget of £450. The musicians recorded the soundtrack live, direct to picture, playing along with the film. To save time and money Budd did not use overdubs, simultaneously playing a real harpsichord, a Wurlitzer electric piano and a grand piano. Budd described the experience as "uncomfortable, but it sounded pleasant". The theme tune features the sounds of the character's train journey from London to Newcastle. The theme was released as a 7" vinyl single by Pye Records in 1971, titled simply Carter and backed with "Plaything", another piece composed for the soundtrack. Original copies of the record are much sought after by collectors and sell for around £100. The soundtrack—including pieces not used in the film—was originally only available in its entirety in Japan, where it was released on Odeon Records. It was released in the UK in 1998 by the Cinephile label, a subsidiary of Castle Communications. In 2012, the theme was included on the Soul Jazz Records compilation British TV, Film and Library Composers."		0:15:10 (Pop-up)

The Casual Sexists	Let's Go To The Beach	Let's Go To The Beach	Ghoul Tapes	2017	The Casual Sexists are a pop band that exist in both the past and the future. They sound like the darkest deepest recesses of Danceteria in NYC in 1982…Like gum chewing teenage girls telling a shop owner to fuck off in London in 1988 after he’s asked them to leave because they are scaring the other customers…Like the love baby of 80’s minimalist classic “Laid Back” by White Horse, Cristina’s “Sleep it Off ” album, The Slits, Shampoo, and “West End Girls”…but they also sound like the future : DIY clever, sticky, and disposable in the best way. This 2017 release is the result of Varrick and Ed Zed squirreling themselves away in their apartment with a menagerie of grubby synths and bad animal samples to craft this brand new EP. Dislocated dance floor pop, musique concrète and a touch of juke/footwork are thrown into the Casuals' blender as they explore memory, ennui and vinyl fetishism.		0:24:10 (Pop-up)
Kamikaze Palm Tree	In The Sand "In The Sand" by "Kamikaze Palm Tree"	The Hit EP	Drag City	2022	Seven years back, Dylan Hadley and Cole Berliner emerged fully formed from the wilds of San Francisco as Kamikaze Palm Tree. In 2022 Drag City welcomed KPT to their island destination. Their latest singles from the upcoming “Mint Chip” album are on hard repeat at the poolside jukebox, with their latest band lineup featuring the musical prowess of Josh Puklavetz (White Fence) on bass and Sofia Arregiun (Wand) on keyboards. The songs: their imagined pictures—anything from faintly to innately ridiculous—are somehow intimate while devoid of context. “None of the songs are about anything.” Ambiguity and nostalgia, hand in hand, and you, cognitive and dissonanced, humming along.	*	0:27:40 (Pop-up)
Famous	Surf's Up "Surf's Up" by "Famous"	England	Untitled Records	2019	Surf’s Up! is named after a Beach Boys album, which Merrett describes as ‘phenomenally bleak’. The song imagines a series of very ordinary interactions, with each one provoking a more dramatised and hysterical reaction. Exploring the tension between narcissism and insecurity the lyrics instil the ugly and mundane with romance and hyperbole, a reaction to Jack’s anxious and confusing adolescence. Taking the banal aspects of his personal interactions with life and introducing theatricality has helped to navigate life’s pressures. Famous are Jack Merrett (vocals), Joscelin Dent-Pooley (synths), James Ogram (synths), George Gardner (Bass), Tiernan Banks (guitar), Danny Sanders (drums).		0:29:20 (Pop-up)
Wah Together	I'm A Swimmer "I'm A Swimmer" by "Wah Together"	Let's Wah Together	Dedstrange	2021	Wah Together rejects anti-social techbro musical austerity in favor of spontaneous face-to-face creation. On their debut LP, Let's Wah Together, the NYC-based quartet of bassist Phil Mossman (LCD Soundsystem), drummer Vito Roccoforte (The Rapture), producer/guitarist Steve Schiltz (Longwave), and vocalist Jaiko Suzuki revel in the communal delight that happens when happy accidents are caught on tape. Tracked principally live and in close quarters, Let's Wah Together captures the immediacy and spontaneity of a group of musicians listening to – and playing off – one another with genuine affection, curiosity, and joy.		0:31:49 (Pop-up)

Colin Newman	But No [Riverside Demo]	A -Z	Sentient Sonics	1980 / 2016	From Colin Newman's debut solo album, released just as his band Wire took a 5-year break. This is the studio demo, with a much more direct and stripped down performance. Despite the relatively straight-forward sonic palette, the track builds and gathers up a fair amount of tension as it unfolds to its conclusion.		1:14:11 (Pop-up)
Colin Newman	But No "But No" by "Colin Newman"	A -Z	Sentient Sonics	1980 / 2016	Studio version of the aforementioned track. Heavily layered with many more elements than the demo, it is much more extreme in mix & production. The tension created through the track seems to be of a different nature, though. Played back to back, these two versions not only give the opportunity for an A/B comparison, but also the possibility of reimagining the song as a relentless, shifting, 7+ minute epic.		1:18:00 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Harry Partch	Castor & Pollux - A Dance For The Twin Rhythms Of Gemini From Plectra & Percussion Dances	The World Of Harry Partch	Columbia Masterworks	1969	"Harry Partch (June 24, 1901 – September 3, 1974) was an American composer, music theorist, and creator of unique musical instruments. He composed using scales of unequal intervals in just intonation, and was one of the first 20th-century composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales, alongside Lou Harrison. He built custom-made instruments in these tunings on which to play his compositions, and described the method behind his theory and practice in his book Genesis of a Music (1947). Partch composed with scales dividing the octave into 43 unequal tones derived from the natural harmonic series; these scales allowed for more tones of smaller intervals than in standard Western tuning, which uses twelve equal intervals to the octave. To play his music, Partch built many unique instruments, with such names as the Chromelodeon, the Quadrangularis Reversum, and the Zymo-Xyl. Partch described his music as corporeal, and distinguished it from abstract music, which he perceived as the dominant trend in Western music since the time of Bach. His earliest compositions were small-scale pieces to be intoned to instrumental backing; his later works were large-scale, integrated theater productions in which he expected each of the performers to sing, dance, speak, and play instruments. Ancient Greek theatre and Japanese Noh and kabuki heavily influenced his music theatre. Encouraged by his mother, Partch learned several instruments at a young age. By fourteen, he was composing, and in particular took to setting dramatic situations. He dropped out of the University of Southern California's School of Music in 1922 over dissatisfaction with the quality of his teachers. He took to self-study in San Francisco's libraries, where he discovered Hermann von Helmholtz's Sensations of Tone, which convinced him to devote himself to music based on scales tuned in just intonation. In 1930, he burned all his previous compositions in a rejection of the European concert tradition. Partch frequently moved around the US. Early in his career, he was a transient worker, and sometimes a hobo; later he depended on grants, university appointments, and record sales to support himself. In 1970, supporters created the Harry Partch Foundation to administer Partch's music and instruments."		1:21:04 (Pop-up)
Wombo	Just Like Time "Just Like Time" by "Wombo"	Keesh Mountain EP	Fire Talk	2021	The weird world of Wombo is a kaleidoscopic journey of sharp turns and surprising visions, a melting pot of influences with a cheeky cheshire-cat grin that coalesce into a trippy but infinite universe, a portal into their unique vantage point without limitation. Already committed to living outside the traditionally-heralded country sound of the music scene in their hometown of Louisville Kentucky, Sydney Chadwick (vocals) and Cameron Lowe (guitar) had previously played in punk pop band the Debauchees, and with the addition of Joel Taylor (drums) in 2016 they found a winning combination of more straightforward indie rock combined with Chadwick’s pitched up, oscillating vocals and unpredictable shifts in melody that see the band moving forward at an impressive pace. Their 2018 album “Blossomlooksdownuponus” is a snapshot of Wombo’s wide-ranging aspirations that careen across avant pop, psych and wonky post punk interludes with a sky’s-the-limit approach to translating the mundanity of regular life into their own high-frequency language.		1:27:25 (Pop-up)
Nicfit	Human Inane "Human Inane" by "Nicfit"	Fuse	Upset The Rhythm	2022	Nicfit - 'Fuse' Nicfit are a four-piece punk band from Nagoya, Japan. Comprising Hiromi on vocals, Charley on guitar, KenKen on bass and Kuwayama on drums the group are by turns melodic and menacing. Nicfit are a nervous itch, incessant and impossible to predict. Nicfit borrow from hardcore, noise rock, and no wave with such abandon that it makes for a sound all their own, even if they make it easy to spot their roots at times. James Chance Skronk...Urinals hardcore...Jesus Lizard...Sonic Youth...it's all there...		1:29:43 (Pop-up)
Mitraille	House Paint Ad "House Paint Ad" by "Mitraille"	Mitraille	Belly Button Records	2021	Mitraille plays garage punk music and likes Motörhead. After releasing 3 piggypunk EP's (of which 2 on Belly Button) over the last couple of years, it's now time for something bigger...a full length! Mitraille are: Bas/voc= Dennis Van Hoof Guitar/voc= Mathias Roggeman Drums= Rafael Valles Hilario They are from Antwerp and are currently playing around at a festival near you!		1:33:08 (Pop-up)
Cobra Man	Cool, Nice. "Cool, Nice." by "Cobra Man"	Cool, Nice. Single	Cool, Nice	2022	Inspired by a request from Los Angeles skateboarding collective the Worble, musician Andy Harry formed electro-punk duo Cobra Man with his friend Sarah Rayne. Their first foray into making music as Cobra Man being the score to the Worble "ManRamp" video which is yes...a video featuring using people as skateboard ramps. Cobra Man love disco, but they clearly love punk. I am confused by this band. But I like it.	*	1:35:11 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Horse Lords	Radiant City "Radiant City" by "The Horse Lords"	The Common Task	Northern Sky	2022	Horse Lords are an American avant-garde rock band from Baltimore. The band plays experimental music with elements of krautrock, post-punk, Appalachian and African musical traditions, polyrhythmia, arcane tunings and electronics. The band uses the just intonation tuning system favored by avantgarde composers La Monte Young and James Tenney, so the musicians are playing hand-modified guitars with repositioned frets, re-tuned and customized by band member Owen Gardner.		1:38:12 (Pop-up)

Zounds	Can't Cheat Karma "Can't Cheat Karma" by "Zounds"	Curse Of The Zounds + Singles	Rough Trade	1981	Zounds are an English anarcho punk/post-punk band from Reading, Berkshire, England, formed in 1977. Originally they were part of the cassette culture movement, releasing material on the Fuck Off Records label, and were also involved in the squatting and free festival scene. The band met up with fellow anarchists Crass when, legend has it, their van broke down on the road. They made their way to nearby Dial House, where Crass were based, who helped them with repairs. The two bands became friends, and although musically very divergent, they shared many common political views. The band split up in late 1982, after becoming disaffected with the anarchist music scene in general and the band worn out from touring. They reformed in 2007 and were once again active for a few years.		1:42:28 (Pop-up)
Loose Fit	Pull The Lever "Pull The Lever" by "Loose Fit"	Pull The Lever Single	FatCat Records	2020	The debut self-titled EP by the Sydney based group delivers a snapshot of their signature groove driven post- punk sound in one short, sharp hit. Informed by a DIY work ethic, the group recorded the EP in one weekend, employing the help of friend and Sydney musician/producer/engineer Jonathan Boulet. (Party Dozen) Says Vocalist Anna of their style: “One thing that we all love as a band that we lean into when we’re writing songs are things that are a bit jarring and grate against each other… I really enjoy curating a dance between being tightly controlled and completely unhinged between the vocals and the sax.”		1:45:10 (Pop-up)
Gloop Unit	Imitation "Imitation" by "Gloop Unit"	Imitation	Gloop Unit	2022	From the get-go, ‘Imitation’ oozes with a spiralling kaleidoscope of addicting melodies and an insuperable groove. Addressing the fact that, at times, relationships can feel almost synthetic. Ravaged by choking intensities, cultivating a wonder into where true intentions lie. There are rumours that the band spawned from a lab, after test tubes of a viscous jazzy substance and punky microbes, discovered from the cosmos, got mixed up in one of David Bryne’s old microwaves.		1:48:17 (Pop-up)
Donzii	Mines "Mines" by "Donzii"	Mines 12"	Grey Market Records	2018	Miami’s Donzii is a time-bending, post-punk vision: a unity of go-hard industrial bangers, darkly ambient balladry, and new takes on the funk traditions of No Wave. Whether on stage or on record, Donzii's music is heavily evocative of the heat, humidity, music blasting out of car windows, push-and-pull between development and natural beauty, and the slightly enigmatic vibes of Miami. Both Fuller and Balfe agree. "Miami is a tropical paradise in peril," says Balfe. "This reality shades my creative output with heavy references to time, death, decay and opulence as diversion from truth.Whether on stage or on record, Donzii's music is heavily evocative of the heat, humidity, music blasting out of car windows, push-and-pull between development and natural beauty, and the slightly enigmatic vibes of Miami.

DAMEFRISØR	2-HEH-V "2-HEH-V" by "DAMEFRISØR"	Do You Think I'm Special?/2-HEH-V	Permanent Creeps Records	2022	Forming at a Bristol club night in 2019 with a collective appreciation for all things shoegaze, DAMEFRISØR bring bags of driving rhythms and swirling guitars.

	7:52pm DJ Babs: Hello welcome Beachers! Looking forward to another week of fun with you all here in the chat and on air! :-)
	🏝 8:00pm Scott67: Live Meow!😸 G'day Babs, Derek & Beached as! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺☀️🌏🍁❤️❤️
	8:00pm DJ Babs: Hi Scott! you're early!!! lol
	🏝 8:01pm Scott67: A little cat told me Babs!🍻😉🤙😸
	8:01pm ultradamno: Babs! Derek! Beach Bums!
	8:02pm Mr Fab: Aloha, Beach bunnies!
	8:02pm Krys O.: Howdy!
	8:02pm Feldy: Hello to Echo Beach, guys!
	8:05pm DJ Babs: Ah yes that's MeepMoops job, making everyone aware of air time! Hello Ultradamno, Mr. Fab, Krys! Feldy! Ready to get a bit wonky and microtonal?
	8:06pm Matt from Body Breaks: Hey everyone! My power's out but as long as my phone lives I'll be here!
	8:06pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Scott, Ultra, Fab, KrysO, Feldy, hello hello one & all!
	8:06pm DJ Babs: YAY Matt! Hello Hello!!! Just freakin out to your amazing song!
	8:06pm Derek Westerholm: Matt, hello! Welcome! Hurrah!
	8:06pm Feldy: This is quite good
	8:07pm Derek Westerholm: Matt will be happy to hear that, Feldy!
	8:07pm DJ Babs: I must say I'm im a microtonal mood lately. It's all about the spaces in between....
	8:08pm Matt from Body Breaks: Thank you Feldy!
	8:08pm Mr Fab: microtonal music is fascinating. But it's difficult with most off-the-shelf instruments. Someone has to custom-make them. Until someone sells microtonal guitars n keyboards, it's unfortunately going to be a very niche specialty.
	8:08pm Tyler: 'Allo!
	8:08pm DJ Babs: Matt did you say your power is out!?!?!
	8:09pm Derek Westerholm: Is your entire block without power Matt, or just your phone?
	8:09pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Tyler!
	8:09pm DJ Babs: Hello Tyler! So nice to see you! And Mr. Fab luckily we hav a microtonal expert in the house tonight...Matt From Body Breaks...so I'm sure he can answer all pertinent questions loll
	8:10pm DJ Blush: Heloooooo
	8:10pm Matt from Body Breaks: I used two standard guitars Mr. Fab. Where there is a will there's a way! Yeah, my whole block is down.
	8:11pm Tyler: Hi Derek, Babs and Mrs. Doubtfire Britt!
	8:11pm DJ Blush: Looool
	8:12pm DJ Babs: Hello Blush my dear so so nice to see you!!!
	8:12pm Derek Westerholm: Does it come down to a matter of fine tuning, then, Matt?
	8:12pm Tyler: This song sounds like the ash burning off a cigarette after a long day...
	8:13pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Blush!
	8:14pm DJ Babs: I think this is the Dry Cleaning song that's finally gotten me hooked...it took a while!
	8:14pm Matt from Body Breaks: Yeah, just two guitars tuned 50 cents or a quarter tone apart. Butvof course there are infinite ways to tune any string instrument to any pitches, whether they correspond to notes on the piano or not. Jandek is a great example.
	8:15pm Tyler: It has a staring off into space quality I quite like...
	8:15pm DJ Babs: I know that king gizzard and the lizard wizard used a mix of custom and regular guitars on their microtonal album...and I think there are other types of keyboards like the oriental organ that are just essentially built for eastern microtonal tunings...
	8:17pm Alli B: Hi guys!
	8:17pm DJ Blush: Definitely just stared into space for the last 5 minutes
	8:17pm Tyler: There are a whole bunch of keyboard controllers out there that can handle microtones. I also saw a clip years ago of a Jazz pianist playing Persian songs with lots of microtonals using a standard piano.
	8:17pm DJ Blush: Alli!
	8:17pm DJ Babs: hlloooooo Alli! Glad to have you with us tonite!!!
	8:17pm Matt from Body Breaks: Some digital keyboards have microtonal tunings built in. Charanjit Singh used one of these for his live performances a few years ago.
	8:18pm Alli B: So happy to be here!
	8:18pm DJ Babs: @Blush I've been doing that alot lately lol
	8:18pm Tyler: @DJ Blush - totally zoning out here as well - it's been a busy week :)
	8:18pm Tyler: 'Allo Alli B!
	8:19pm Tyler: 'Get Carter' is class
	8:19pm Matt from Body Breaks: Very true Tyler! Hafez Modirzadeh often retunes pianos for his performances. Vijay Iyer is one pianist who played with him on one of those.
	8:20pm VinylVillainSean: Hola!
	8:21pm Tyler: @Matt from Body Breaks - Yeah, exactly. Then there's always Steve Reich's mods to instruments...
	8:21pm Tyler: Hi Sean!
	8:21pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Sean!!!
	8:22pm Mr Fab: I've never tuned a piano. I leave that to the experts. Honestly wouldn't have the foggiest idea how. It's a whole other kinda skill.
	8:22pm VinylVillainSean: Howdy gang!
	8:22pm DJ Blush: Heeeey!
	8:22pm Alli B: Hi Tyler!
	8:22pm DJ Blush: And hello Tyler and everyone
	8:23pm Tyler: @Mr. Fab - yeah I've never tried that either. Would only ever attempt it on a salvage piano - too afraid of messing up a valuable instrument.
	8:24pm Mr Fab: A six-string guitar, no prob!
	8:25pm Tyler: Yeah, a guitar I can tune by ear. Never bought a guitar tuner.
	8:28pm ultradamno: Baby Elephant Walt is what's evoked by the phrase 'elephantine rhythms' for me
	8:28pm DJ Blush: Hope you're all having a relaxing night, I know I am with these killer tunes, a joint, and my cats are cuddled around my bose speaker
	8:29pm DJ Babs: I'm enjoying a vodka cherry soda and hanging out with you all!!!
	8:29pm Mr Fab: Right on, Tyler! Guitar tuners look like they're more trouble than they're worth. Certainly more expensive. But micro-tuning guitars is another story - I would think that all those frets would get in the way. There's some crazy pics i've seen of radically re-fretted micro-tuned guitars. You really got to be a bit of a craftsman for some of those babies.
	8:29pm Tyler: Sounds wonderful, Britt. May need to pop out to the backyard for a C-gar later...
	8:29pm DJ Blush: hell yeah, gonna be a beautiful night
	8:30pm ultradamno: Baby Elephant Walk, that is. Trying to type with a cat on my chest...
	8:30pm DJ Blush: it's a new moon tonight, apparently
	8:31pm DJ Babs: new moon new beginnings......
	8:32pm DJ Blush: The Rapture and LCD are two of my fav bands – how have I never heard this before!? Incredible
	8:32pm DJ Blush: Cheers to fuckin that, B
	8:32pm Tyler: @Mr. Fab - lots of mods on guitars, like the Velvets 'Ostrich Tuning' where every string is tuned to the same note. I suppose on guitar with some precise technique on where you place your fingers on the space between the frets you could manage some microtones without changing the standard tuning.
	8:32pm DJ Babs: I really like this band a lot!
	8:33pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, typing about Elephants with a cat on your chest... Sounds like there's an abstract poem in there somewhere...
	8:33pm Tyler: Having an iced coffee 'con ron' here - enjoying the music & convo. CHEERS!
	8:33pm DJ Babs: Sorry derek messed up the publishing THIS is the LCD/Rapture SS collab
	8:34pm ultradamno: And more wholesome than Beefheart's vampire/monkey affair
	8:34pm DJ Blush: Oh yeah can definitely tell!! Love it already
	8:35pm VinylVillainSean: I'm watching the Blue Jays game on mute with this on blast and it fits it perfectly
	8:35pm Tyler: That BASS <3
	8:35pm DJ Blush: Loool Sean love it
	8:35pm DJ Blush: What's the score eh
	8:35pm DJ Blush: Tyler you've inspired me to make an iced coffee
	8:35pm Mr Fab: We got a new moon?! What happened to the old one? (Sorry) I did the Ostrich Tuning on the ol gee-tar - top 3 strings tuned to E, bottom 3, all Es an octave higher. Perhaps not surprisingly, it sounded just like Sonic Youth.
	8:35pm DJ Babs: Tis a crunchy bass to be sure!
	8:36pm Tyler: Cheers, Britt! Don' blame if you get hooked like me ;)
	8:37pm VinylVillainSean: 3-1 for us
	8:37pm Tyler: @Mr Fab - maybe one day I'll try the same and Branca-on-out! :)
	8:38pm ?: So fab
	8:38pm Tyler: This is pretty funk-tacular!

	8:41pm egould: Hot damn!
	8:41pm DJ Blush: track suits
	8:41pm Tyler: I love the Herbie Hancock song 'Chameleon'. It has a 'walking-funk' feel like this song.
	8:41pm Derek Westerholm: Aww, thanks MagneticallySM
	8:42pm Tyler: @Sean - hahaha - Body Breaks! BO-DY BREAKS! Someone shoulda sampled that for their pop 'n lock project...
	8:42pm magneticallystripedmeme: See? I’m rusty. I even double post. 🤔
	8:43pm VinylVillainSean: LOL @djblush @Tyler
	8:44pm ultradamno: The Future? The group that gave way to Human League?

	8:47pm Matt from Body Breaks: Phones dying, gotta save some juice for an emergency. Have a great evening everyone!
	8:47pm magneticallystripedmeme: derek I agree re: dry cleaning. I like them but a little goes a long way. I think the first dry cleaning song I heard was on this show about a year and a half ago. They grew on me! 😻
	8:48pm magneticallystripedmeme: Hello, Babs!! Everything’s sounding great!!!! 😻
	8:48pm VinylVillainSean: Such a rad jam
	8:49pm DJ Babs: oh no Matt!!! Thank you for joining us! We will enjoy your interview!!!
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: Keep candles close at hand, Matt.
	8:51pm magneticallystripedmeme: Take care and be safe, Matt!
	8:53pm DJ Babs: I love Julie's voice. She reminds me very much of Karen O...
	8:54pm egould: It’s a good thing when you can open your music up and let someone else climb inside. That’s why we collaborate, right??
	8:57pm DJ Babs: exactly! And hello Egould!
	8:58pm DJ Babs: I just love the otherworldly and hypnotic vibe of this record..and all microtonal...
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Definitely, egould. I love finding out about artists' process & the way their projects unfold. It's an honour to be able to facilitate interviews here & there. Very grateful to Matt & Julie tonight, for taking the time to illuminate their world for us!
	8:59pm egould: Hi Babs. Hi Derek. This is awesome. Thanks!
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: So glad you're enjoying it, eg.

	9:09pm VinylVillainSean: This is such a great interview

	9:30pm VinylVillainSean: @djblush don’t you worry bud. I’m getting this sorted for Sat 😎 Already feeling better.
	9:30pm Derek Westerholm: Oh, Sean, I'm sorry to hear that... Mend up fast... Sending you healing vibes through the airwaves...
	9:30pm Tyler: @Sean - sorry to hear. Those microtonals can be brutal on the back :) I find a hot, steamy shower helps to get the muscles to relax & lying on a firm surface like the floor or a bench helps in the realignment. Hope you feel better!
	9:31pm DJ Blush: Aww hey I'm not worried, all that matters to me is that you feel okay!
	9:31pm VinylVillainSean: These songs are all the healing I need @derek 🖤 @tyler im totally going to do that after I fetch my laundry in a second

	9:35pm Tyler: Isn't Voltaren that robot that is made up of lions :)
	9:36pm VinylVillainSean: Voltron! hahahaha
	9:36pm DJ Blush: hahaha
	9:36pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, in response to your earlier inquiry, I bet there are Toronto retailers carrying the Body Breaks album, but offhand I can't say for certain, or, if so, which ones...
	9:37pm Tyler: Enjoy the paints, Britt! Haven't done in years but should. Just nowhere to store them anymore - under the bed is full :)
	9:37pm DJ Babs: lol I'm so conflicted by this song. It's so cheesy but I really like it LOL
	9:37pm Tyler: @Derek - thanks. I'll keep an eye out and report back if I see it.
	9:38pm Tyler: Sounds like Fred Schneider :)
	9:38pm DJ Blush: Thank you! Ugh yeah, our extra bed room has become a drum storage room slash walk-in craft tickle trunk – and I like to give paintings as gifts so I'm gonna have to do a whole lot more gifting

	9:38pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, right??!!
	9:38pm DJ Blush: Cool, Nice is the best name for an album ever
	9:39pm Tyler: I was listening to a UK Reggae comp I bought last summer and there is this total ear-worm song with the chorus 'I'm just here to nice-up the session'.
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: DJ Blush, glad to hear you're inspired to reapply your brushes to your canvasses! That's very wonderful to hear.
	9:41pm ultradamno: Voltron isn't the mantis on Space Ghost?

	🏝 9:50pm Scott67: I'm still here, just not so chatty today. My Flu feels almost better, but still got a head full of snot. 🍻😎🤙💨🦠🦑🦠🦞🦠🦠
	9:50pm Tyler: @Scott67 hope you feel better soon.
	9:50pm VinylVillainSean: Love this
	9:51pm ultradamno: By the way, that Zounds reminded me of Desperate Bicycles, which shouldn't be too surprising, but I never put them together before.
	9:51pm Derek Westerholm: Oh Scott, sorry to hear that... No need to struggle with the chatting, just enjoy the listening, if it's pleasing you!
	9:51pm Tyler: Some Microtonals will clear that snot right up :)
	9:51pm Tyler: Gloop Jiving!
	9:51pm DJ Blush: Shit Scott. Got sick two weeks ago and am finally now just starting to feel better... glad to hear you're better though!
	9:53pm Tyler: @ultradamno don't detune your bicycle :)
	9:53pm DJ Babs: oh man scott that sucks but I'm glad you're feeling better. Yeah it's been a tough week but always so better to hang with you all here!!! <3
	9:54pm Tyler: What do you call that noise that you put on?
	🏝 9:54pm Scott67: Sorry to hear DJB, I'm still sensing it hovering, waiting for me to pounce if I don't take time to fully recover. 😎🤙💨🌻
	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, XTC ref.?
	9:55pm ultradamno: I understand bicycles are becoming a luxury item these days. With the shortage...
	9:55pm Tyler: @Derek - you got it!
	9:55pm DJ Babs: omg I swearr I got the last bicycle in Toronto right before the pandemic hit...
	🏝 9:56pm Scott67: Cheers Tyler!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	9:56pm DJ Babs: or as the pandemic hit I should say!
