Sally Patience	The Triangle Man "The Triangle Man" by "Sally Patience"	The Triangle Man c/w Buried In My Boots 7"	Disc International Records	1984	This one is a tried and true killer, a bizarre electronic romp from 1984 with thick synth bass, disco strings, and eerie female vocals. The best analogy I can think of is dystopian disco- the kind of dance music that you’d dance to in Blade Runner or Logan’s Run, for example… The chorus is especially killer, and pays off in spades (human is so humorless- love that line). Fans of JYL/Angela Werner should also love this one. The b-side is equally stunning, a more unsettling synth track with a flamenco flair and backwards masked vocal samples. This is the only single Sally Patience released, and no one knows what happened to her afterwards… Just a brief moment, as some of the best gems tend to be. Damn, this song is the shit.		0:02:09 (Pop-up)
Geisha	Pojat "Pojat" by "Geisha"	Geisha EP	Johanna	1983	from Ilmajoki, active between 1982-1984. There is little to no info on this band, save that it's three women...I would love to know about them so please...if you have any info on this amazing act, let us know!!!		0:05:25 (Pop-up)
Del-Byzanteens	My World Is Empty (Without You)	Girl's Imagination 12"	Don't Fall Off The Mountain	1981	Yet more proof that 1981 was a great year for Post Punk. The Del-Byzanteens was a New York-based no wave band active in the early 1980s. The band comprised Phil Kline (vocals, guitar); Jim Jarmusch (yes, that Jim Jarmusch!) (vocals, keyboards); Philippe Hagen (bass); Josh Braun (percussion, drums); and Dan Braun (drums, percussion). Lucy Sante wrote lyrics to some of their songs (under the name Luc Sante), while James Nares sometimes contributed as a percussionist, and occasionally John Lurie performed with them on stage. "At that time everyone in New York had a band," Jarmusch recalled in an interview for The Washington Post (1984). "The idea was that you didn't have to be a virtuoso musician to have a band. The spirit was more important than having technical expertise, and that influenced a lot of filmmakers."According to Sante, they were "a band that insouciantly blended high and low, virtuosity and amateurism, calypso and science fiction, pots and pans and drones and the Supremes. They released several records, on a British label, which did very well in the former Yugoslavia." They played a number of concerts at clubs such as CBGB, Hurrah and the Mudd Club in New York City. Two of their songs were featured in Wim Wenders' 1982 film The State of Things.		0:07:48 (Pop-up)
Y Pants	Magnetic Attraction "Magnetic Attraction" by "Y Pants"	Y Pants - Tellus Attraction 1982 (RI)	Periodic Document	1998	Y Pants were an American all-female no wave band from New York City active from 1979 to 1982. The trio, made up of photographer/musician Barbara Ess, visual artist Virginia Piersol, and filmmaker Gail Vachon, developed a unique sound via their acoustic toy instrumentation of toy piano, ukulele and a paper-headed Mickey Mouse drum kit, augmented by electric bass guitar, Casio keyboards and various low-tech effects. Y Pants' feminist poetics and toy instrumentation made them a hit in Manhattans's art gallery scene, while their No Wave clout brought them to be regulars at punk rock venues like CBGB's. In 1980, Glenn Branca recorded their debut 4-song EP for 99 Records, followed by a LP two years later.Lyrically, most of the Y-Pants' material covered the off-kilter aspects of relationships, with explorations into the perils of laundry ("Favorite Sweater"), materialism ("We Have Everything"), patriarchy ("That's The Way Boys Are"), and a reworking of Bertolt Brecht's "Barbara's Song" from Threepenny Opera. Musically they have been compared to their British post-punk contemporaries The Raincoats for their overlapping vocal choruses and kitchen-sinkish approach to sound, rhythm and composition.		0:13:30 (Pop-up)
Östro 430	Plastikwelt "Plastikwelt" by "Östro 430"	Durch Dick & Dünn	Schallmauer	1981	Östro 430 were the first all female (Punk-)band from Düsseldorf. They had their first public appearance at the „Schmier Festival“ on May 3rd 1980 at the “Okie Dokie” in Neuss Often mislabelled as NDW (a.k.a. 'Neue Deutsche Welle') or New Wave, the band was a Punk-band, indeed. In the first lineup with Monika Kellermann. After Olivia Casali and Marita Welling left the band in 1981 Gisela Hottenroth and Birgit Köster joined them. In 1983 Ralf Küpping came into the band.		0:16:44 (Pop-up)

Jennifer Vanilla	Humility's Disease	Castle In The Sky	Sinderlyn Records	2022	Jennifer Vanilla is the project of Becca Kauffman. Her Facebook Page picks "Performance Art" as her main trade. Her Youtube provides the following definition: "Jennifer Vanilla (n). Culturally absorbent prototype." Bandcamp helpfully elaborates: "Born in a dewdrop high up in the sky in an idyllic realm known as “Jenniferia,” the sexless humanoid alien Jennifer Vanilla opened a portal to the eastern coast of the United States using a magical braid that became entangled with the earthling artist Becca Kauffman. Together, the two embarked upon a musical adventure that ignited the imaginations of countless humans. A quintessentially 80s name (the decade of Kauffman’s birth), Jennifer became Kauffman’s everyperson, an archetypal mold for building connection with strangers.... ...Jennifer Vanilla has become a way for Kauffman to test drive their desires and curiosity, reflecting fantasy back through the mirror of an audience and seeing what sticks – even Kauffman’s artistic endeavors that exist outside of the Jenniferian realm, like a recent reenvisioning of a neighborhood intersection as part of their MFA work in Art and Social Practice, are still informed by the Jennifer Vanilla toolkit. At this point, the line where Becca ends and Jennifer begins is up for debate, and that ambiguity is central to the JV project: Jennifer Vanilla functions as a funhouse mirror that implores each of us to examine all the distortions in our reflections and refractions.

A Number Of Names	Sharevari "Sharevari" by "A Number Of Names"	Sharevari (12")	Capriccio Records	1981	"Two recordings by Detroit artists introduced the earliest beginnings of techno as its own style and genre. This track and "Alleys of your mind" by Cybotron are the two in question. In essence, this track is regarded by many as being the very first Detroit Techno track to hit the streets. The name Sharevari evolved from the legendary Charivari parties that began attracting a cult following in 1980 and was a tribute to Detroit's high school party scene. The track name was altered slightly to avoid any possible conflict with the Charivari party promoters. Apparently (source Techno Rebels The Renegades Of Electronic Funk book), the legendary radio [disc]jock[ey] Charles Johnson, also known as "the Electrifying Mojo" (or simply Mojo) was in the crowd the night Sharevari was first played at a Charivari party. He convinced A Number Of Names to come down to his show on radio station WGPR. Although there were only three writers credited on the record (Paul Lesley, Sterling Jones and Roderick Simpson), a virtual army of band members showed up and crammed into the DJ booth. According to Mojo, they said "What do we call ourselves? We don't have a name". Mojo said, "How may of you are there? Quite a few - why don't your call yourselves A Number Of Names?". Mojo played the record and people went crazy over it. A Number Of Names (now so called) were actually pushing a different song "Skitso" but he said "Sharevari is the one I am going to play". And so this record became one of the most important records in the evolution of techno music. A true seminal release. You will also notice that the catalogue number is P-928, which is a reference to a Porsche 928 as referred to in the lyrics of this record." ------------ Also of note: "Charivari (/ˌʃɪvəˈriː, ˈʃɪvəriː/, UK also /ˌʃɑːrɪˈvɑːri/, US also /ʃəˌrɪvəˈriː/,alternatively spelled shivaree or chivaree and also called a skimmington) was a European and North American folk custom in which a mock parade was staged through a community accompanied by a discordant mock serenade. Since the crowd aimed to make as much noise as possible by beating on pots and pans or anything that came to hand these parades are often referred to as rough music. Parades were of three types. In the first, and generally most violent form, a wrongdoer or wrongdoers might be dragged from their home or place of work and paraded by force through a community. In the process they were subject to the derision of the crowd, they might be pelted and frequently a victim or victims were dunked at the end of the proceedings. A safer form involved a neighbour of the wrongdoer impersonating the victim whilst being carried through the streets. The impersonator was obviously not themselves punished and often cried out or sang ribald verses mocking the wrongdoer. In the common form, an effigy was employed instead, abused and often burnt at the end of the proceedings. Communities used "rough music" to express their disapproval of different types of violation of community norms. For example, they might target marriages of which they disapproved such as a union between an older widower and much younger woman, or the too early remarriage by a widow or widower. Villages also used charivari in cases of adulterous relationships, against wife beaters, and unmarried mothers. It was also used as a form of shaming upon husbands who were beaten by their wives and had not stood up for themselves. In some cases, the community disapproved of any remarriage by older widows or widowers."		0:33:26 (Pop-up)
Yoo Doo Right	Say Less, Do More "Say Less, Do More" by "Yoo Doo Right"	A Murmur, Boundless to the East	Mothland	2022	Released June & recorded with producer Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Suuns, Ought, Fly Pan Am) at Hotel2Tango; mixed by Seth Manchester at Machines With Magnets (Battles, Lightning Bolt, Lingua Ignota). Newest album from a Montréal, Québec trio, on this track joined by violinist Jessica Moss. Yoo Doo Right (Bandcamp) +++ Yoo Doo Right will be playing in Toronto Sat.

Music behind DJ: Pole	Grauer Sand "Grauer Sand" by "Pole"	Tempus	Mute	2022	This track was released last week... "Pole – aka German electronic artist Stefan Betke – has announced details of a new album, “Tempus”, due out November 18 via Mute. Stefan Betke explains the album as follows: “‘Tempus’ considers the connection between the past, present, and future. It is, a natural development to the last album. One which goes further and is even more complex.” The painting on the cover, by Wolfgang Betke titled Großstadtwanderer, links into the themes explored on the album. Betke explains: “I found the whole atmosphere in this totally weird, confused head with these little shimmery eyes leaking through the colours to totally fit the idea of Tempus.”"	*	0:53:19 (Pop-up)
Spring Breeding	24 Hours On Saturn	Doing The Limbo	Spring Breeding	2022	Spring Breeding are a four piece no wave/dance-punk from Las Vegas, NV. They describe themselves as "angular sound" and this is apt. As is the descriptors of this band as having "electrical ferocity and urgency...A shuffling but insistent groove anchors an otherwise chaotic explosion of guitars and keyboards, with a Mark E Smith tinge to the vocals." There is very little to know on the interwebs about this band. This release is quite new, self released on Aug 5th and is highly recommended!

Exit Group	Plastic Coffin "Plastic Coffin" by "Exit Group"	Adverse Habitat	Castle Face	2018	Ah! Castle Face never fails to impress with their releases. From the dank warehouse recesses that brought us Useless Eaters and Dry Erase, may we introduce Exit Group - sharply futuristic post-punk with a pissed-off lean, antisocial lyrics spit over an abnormally locked-in guitar bass drums triangle, wound up tighter than a Swiss watch. Post-everything sample tweakery and chrome-dipped guitar tonality lend a darkly robotic sheen, abraded riffs pop up everywhere but where you think they should be, clanging and clanking inhumanly around elaborate Rube Goldberg patterns, tessellating under flickering municipal neon. Bone-dry furious, turning on a dime just to slap the drink out of your hand.		1:06:42 (Pop-up)
Gilla Band	Backwash "Backwash" by "Gilla Band"	Backwash Single	Rough Trade	2022	The second single from the upcoming album "Most Normal", GILLA BAND ARE BACK. Damn, this is good. “The initial idea for the whole album was that it would loosely sound like a dream,” singer Dara Kiely explains. “We didn’t really stick to the brief but it lead us down different sonic avenues. ‘Backwash’ is one of the few tracks where the words represent a dream-like circumstance. The lyrics are from a stream of consciousness rant, weird imagery and all that. The track is about attraction – fancying someone and not knowing what to say exactly. It’s an indirect love song, knowing you like someone but can’t quite articulate it. Thinking that you have already expressed your feelings, but like waking up from a dream you’ve forgotten what you actually have said or felt.”		1:09:15 (Pop-up)
Meditations On Dance, Gang Gang Dance, Simon Harper	Crime Seed	Crime Seed Single	Anti-Fragile Music	2022	Meditations on Crime is the enigmatic new collaborative project via AntiFragile Music. They recently shared debut single “Heloise” by Julia Holter and featuring Animal Collective's Geologist. Now, the collective has unleashed the new single “Crime Seed” by Gang Gang Dance. Harper Simon shares: “I first encountered Gang Gang Dance when I was performing at the All Tomorrow’s Party festival in England years ago. I believe it was just after the release of their album God’s Money. I thought it was really fresh and original and always wanted to work with them. I was really pleased Lizzie and Brian agreed to collaborate with me on this song all these years later. I had the track written and recorded with Paz Lenchantin on bass and Carla Azar on drums. The guitar part that I wrote is reminiscent of The Troggs’ I Can Only Give You Everything, at least rhythmically. Melodically it’s different and has a kind of call and response. I sent it to Lizzie who wrote the lyrics (abstract, poetic, mysterious) and delivered her idiosyncratic vocal. Her lyrics combine a kind of street vernacular with impressionistic language that suggests criminality in a way that feels reckless and sexual but also opaque.		1:12:38 (Pop-up)
Meridian Brothers	La Policia "La Policia" by "Meridian Brothers"	La Policia Single	Ansonia Records	2022	A tribute to the sound of ‘70s Salsa Colombiana cooked up by mad genius Eblis Alvarez, who warps the genre out of shape as only someone who deeply loves and understands it can. Referencing the well-worn riffs and song structure of classic salsa dura but at the same time cunningly innovative musically and lyrically, this “Renaissance” version of Alvarez’s band Meridian Brothers offers two twisted takes on the traditional idiom. In La Policía Alvarez delivers sardonic eye-witness reportage on Bogotá’s dirty cops		1:16:08 (Pop-up)

Blue Orchids	What Thing Is Man "What Thing Is Man" by "Blue Orchids"	Angus Tempus Memoir	Tiny Global Productions	2022	This album was released on July 8. "Continuing the mystical thread and acid explorations which were a hallmark of The Fall's initial line-up, Martin Bramah has quietly crafted a trove of psychedelic visions unparalleled among musicians of his generation. Despite never quite cracking mainstream public consciousness, Blue Orchids endure as a living treasures of head music for post-punks, with a series of deeply-magical recordings."

The Fall	Words of Expectation (Peel Session)	The Complete Peel Sessions 1978-2004	Castle Music	1983 / 2005	An epic song that never found its way onto any album & therefore remains fairly hidden in their catalogue. (Amongst the few epics of the era to suffer similar fates.) It made its first appearance into their live sets on Jan 16, 1983; long before the Perverted By Album album was released. Eventually, it was recorded for the band's 7th Peel Session on Dec 12, 1983 (broadcast Jan 3, 1984.) Despite multiple performances through 1983, it would eventually see three performances thereafter (Jun 1984 and twice in Feb 1986.) It would then remain unreleased until an archival Peel Session release in 1993 & this Peel Session Boxset in 2005. There's a joke in the song "if we carry on like this, we're going to end up like King Crimson", though in live performances, he often added or swapped other band names to his list of derision. (Echo And The Bunnymen, Joy Division, Crass, Wah Heat, Fad Gadget, The Smiths) NB: In our write-up for Transmissions From Echo Beach, we say that you can "find" Words Of Expectation... Well, here it is.		1:30:28 (Pop-up)
Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds	The Last Word	Philosophy And Underwear	New York Night Train Recordings	2005	A new memoir by Kid Congo Powers "Some New Kind of Kick", is set to be released Oct 18. "Kid Congo Powers has been described as a “legendary guitarist and paragon of cool” with “the greatest resume ever of anyone in rock music." That unique imprint on rock history stems from being a member of not one but three beloved, groundbreaking, and influential groups—Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the Cramps, and last but not least, The Gun Club, the wildly inventive punk-blues band he co-founded. Some New Kind of Kick begins as an intimate coming of age tale, of a young, queer, Chicano kid, growing up in a suburb east of East LA, in the mid-‘70s, exploring his sexual identity through glam rock. When a devastating personal tragedy crushes his teenage dreams, he finds solace and community through fandom, as founder (‘The Prez’) of the Ramones West Coast fan club, and immerses himself in the delinquent chaos of the early LA punk scene. A chance encounter with another superfan, in the line outside the Whiskey-A-Go-Go to get into a Pere Ubu concert, changes the course of his life entirely. Jeffrey Lee Pierce, a misfit Chicano punk who runs the Blondie fan club, proposes they form a band. The Gun Club is born. So begins an unlikely transition from adoring fan to lauded performer. In Pierce, he finds brotherhood, a creative voice, and a common cause, but also a shared appetite for self-destruction that threatens to overwhelm them both."		1:39:45 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Eucalyptus	It's In A Move "It's In A Move" by "Eucalyptus"	Moves	Telephone Explosion Records	2022	Today is Brodie West's birthday! Eucalyptus is one of his many projects. The rundown: "Toronto-based octet Eucalyptus has been steadily gathering a devoted cult following since the release of their debut 10” Eeeeeuuucaaaaaaallyyypppptus in 2012. Led by acclaimed saxophonist and composer Brodie West, the band's languid, kaleidoscopic jazz is very much a collective endeavour, the product of an internal network of improvisational synergy they've built over more than a decade together. Moves is their sixth release, and somewhat of a milestone. In addition to it being the octet's most psychedelic and arrestingly soulful release thus far, it's also their longest—their first, in fact, to cross into bonafide full-length territory. They're marking the occasion by joining the roster of Toronto favourite Telephone Explosion Records."

Cabo Boing	Social Mold "Social Mold" by "Cabo Boing"	Real Gems For Little Jewels	376021 Records DK	2022	The music of songwriter Brian Esser is at once hilarious and horrifying. He is obsessed by clowns. It’s upsetting to say the least. But it’s also a strangely fitting accompaniment for the absurdist electronic music he’s made. His Tumblr page is mostly dedicated to the constantly grinning jesters. They beckon menacingly, floating in bodies of water; they show off arcade cabinets to small children; they play the saxophone; or they sit—in ceramic bust form—next to half-consumed jugs of milk. The archive as a whole is surreal, whimsical, and unsettling—a shrine that imagines the clowns as mythical figures from a Jodorowskyan nightmare. He has a keen ability to make music that’s both parasitically catchy and wholly unfamiliar...but fans of Devo will definitely catch a whiff of early Hardcore y ears. This shit is awesome.		1:47:56 (Pop-up)
Jake Tobin	Pain, On Leave "Pain, On Leave" by "Jake Tobin"	Torment	Chill Mega Chill Records	2014	This album was recorded in Tallahassee at the Miccosukee Land Cooperative throughout 2013. Anxious, weirdo experimental rock with jazz elements that speaks to the kind of corporate anxiety demonstrated on the album artwork. "Torment" is a concept album about being stuck in a cycle of "Office Space"-esque mediocrity and sheer boredom, the kind of stuff that sounds like a joke to those who haven't yet experienced it. There are grindingly off putting dissonant harmonies, off kilter changes and generally, a feeling of unease and stress when listening to his music. Therefore, it is great.		1:50:16 (Pop-up)
The Mystery Lights	Melt "Melt" by "The Mystery Lights"	The Mystery Lights	Wick Records	2016	Founded in California and based in Brooklyn, the Mystery Lights play psychedelia-infused garage rock with a deep reverence for the sounds of the '60s but with a dash of contemporary cleverness and plenty of spirit. Full of guitars simmering in fuzz and reverb, vocals that plead or taunt, melodies that are both driving and trippy, and an abundance of lysergic sound effects.		1:52:36 (Pop-up)
POW!	Hope Dealers "Hope Dealers" by "POW!"	Hi-Tech Boom	Castle Face	2014	The band formed in 2011, when guitarist/vocalist Byron Blum decided to form a band and reached out to two recent acquaintances, Melissa Blue and Matt Harrison. Neither was skilled at playing their instruments -- drums and synth, respectively -- and it gave the band a simple, stripped-down sound that sounded like a low-rent Devo or a jumpier Units. They played shows around the Bay Area, then released a single in 2011 ("Pretend There") for Afterlife Records. More shows and woodshedding followed until they were discovered by John Dwyer, the head of Castle Face Records and leader of Thee Oh Sees. He asked them to make a record, they did, and the resulting lo-fi, hi-energy Hi-Tech Boom was released in early 2014.		1:54:48 (Pop-up)
Kleenex/Liliput	Beri-Beri "Beri-Beri" by "Kleenex/Liliput"	Kleenex 7"	Sunrise	1978	Switzerland's Kleenex is arguably one of the greatest musical contributions to the post punk genre. They make me proud to be Swiss. The story of the band begins in Zurich, Switzerland. A handful of girls attended a Sex Pistols show and, like so many of their generation, were inspired to emulate them. Marlene Marder, the anchor of the crew, joined a punk band with some of her male friends, playing her first instrument, the saxophone. When the other members got stars in their eyes, they told Marder that punk bands couldn't have saxophonists and asked her to leave the group. She decided to start her own band, this time playing guitar, along with three of her female friends. Joining her were Lislot Hafner (Drums), Regula Sing (vocals), and Klaudia Schifferle (bass). The group dubbed themselves Kleenex and started gigging around Switzerland...and the rest is history!		1:57:40 (Pop-up)

Dendrons	New Outlook II "New Outlook II" by "Dendrons"	New Outlook II	Innovative Leisure	2022	The track comes from their forthcoming album, 5-3-8, out August 26th via Innovative Leisure. Lyrically, the track cycles between two refrains: “soon we’ll all be laughing too” and “Distance. Time. New outlook.” The accompanying video features glitchy, colourful, trippy shots of the band decked out in some hilarious disguises. “It is a continuation of themes explored on the preceding album track, ‘New Outlook,'” the band’s Dave Jarvie explains, “how trial and error, personal aesthetics, and every perceived achievement is reduced to comedy with enough passing time. How there is freedom in that. It’s about holding your life loosely.”		2:03:29 (Pop-up)

	8:19pm laurapanic: this show is making me super super happy
	8:19pm listener 126464: Derek, I was given an extra 64 a few years ago.
	8:20pm laurapanic: Scott that sounds peachy
	🏝 8:20pm Scott67: BYO softies Laura!🍻😎🤙💨🥤
	8:21pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: I am enjoying this Düsselpunk.
	8:21pm Derek Westerholm: Y Pants' Magnetic Attraction was produced by Wharton Tiers, who would later produce their first and only album.
	8:21pm laurapanic: Scott: and some chips, I love a chip
	🏝 8:22pm Scott67: Chuck us a chip mate!?🖐️😎🍻
	8:25pm listener 126464: I'm going with '79
	8:25pm ultradamno: Slash Records output that year alone may put 81 over for me
	8:27pm Derek Westerholm: Ooooohhh... The '79 vs. '81 debate has spilled into the room.... I love it!
	8:27pm laurapanic: I would like to observe that debate
	8:28pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, haha. "Observe." Ha!
	8:31pm Mr Fab: then there's the issue of albums recorded in '79 released (at least in the US) in '80/'81 to further confuse things, e.g.: "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts," "Metal Box," "London Calling," Joy Division...
	8:31pm DJ Babs: omg this is AMAZING.
	8:32pm ultradamno: Also, The Evil One was 81, though the UK s/t version split the difference being in 80
	8:32pm laurapanic: I listen to the archives constantly, since I sleep when some of my faves are on
	8:33pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Love this track…wow!!!
	8:33pm laurapanic: STOP MAKING ME CLICKY STAR GUYS
	8:33pm DJ Babs: HAHA! NO NEVER
	8:34pm DJ Babs: ALL THE CLICKY STARS
	8:34pm DJ Babs: I get into the archives while I'm paperworking and in between meetings. That's why I love vacation because I can check out more shows!
	8:35pm DJ Babs: ahhhh a classic from Derek! Goddamn I never get tired of the Sharivari..
	8:37pm DJ Babs: There's footage of...oh man, what was that dance music show that aired out of detroit? Where all the kids are dancing to this and it's fucking amazing...
	8:37pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: I also love the Adult. version. ❤️❤️❤️
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: I didn't know it until today.
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: (The original or any other version.) I was unaware.
	8:38pm DJ Babs: I think it was Ectomorph who did that newer version but they were on Ersatz...
	8:38pm DJ Babs: That record never left my bag when I was DJing in the early 2000s...so good!
	8:38pm Derek Westerholm: There are many many remixes, one is definitely by Adult.
	8:39pm ultradamno: Oh. I was hoping there a version that was just dirtier
	8:40pm DJ Babs: The version I DJ'd the Ectomorph one...is definitely dirtier..sonically at least lol
	8:42pm ultradamno: Named after a Can song, of the more popular than ever Mooney era...
	8:44pm DJ Babs: Yes! I'm also getting Simple Minds vibes from this! which could not be further away from Can lol
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, yes yes yes!!!
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Well seen!
	8:44pm DJ Babs: mostly from the singer....this does not sound like Simple Minds lol
	8:48pm DJ Babs: 'Tis a very dreamy tune this!
	🏝 8:51pm Scott67: Just remembered I have leftover Pizza Puttanesca! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙🍕
	8:53pm DJ Babs: sweeeeeet! I made egg roll casserole today for dinner!
	8:53pm DJ Babs: I ate so many donairs while I was in Halifax. They do donairs so good there.
	🏝 8:55pm Scott67: Yumm! Swap ya a slice for a spoonful? 🍻😎🤙💨🍕🥄🥘
	8:55pm Mr Fab: from a band named after a Can song to a band named after a Zappa album. Working on a theme, I see! Got a band named after a Velvet Underground song next, perhaps?
	8:55pm DJ Babs: hells yes. I miss pizza so much!
	8:56pm DJ Babs: haha Dereks' mind works in both logical and illlogical manners
	🏝 8:59pm Scott67: We call a Donair a Souvlaki, Gyro or a Kebab. 🍻😎🤙🌯 I made this Pizza Babs!💨🍕
	9:00pm Magneticallystripedmeme: Good evening all! I should be in bed rn but I’m being bad 😆
	9:06pm DJ Babs: haha welcome Magnetic!! Thisis the show for nice bad people! So you're in the right place!
	9:07pm Derek Westerholm: Magnetically... I'm with you there... I love bed once I'm asleep; but the idea of going there makes me too sad to take early steps in that direction.
	9:07pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: So sharp yet funky. 🔥🔥🔥
	9:09pm DJ Babs: I love the funky sharpness! It's like a good cheddar! lol
	9:09pm gsdoubleu: this is fantastic! hi everyone!
	9:09pm Mr Fab: Magneticallystripedmeme: welcome to Bad Radio For Bad People!
	9:09pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ❤️❤️❤️
	9:09pm DJ Babs: hello hello gsdoubleu!!!Nice to see you!!!!
	9:10pm ultradamno: This is actually pretty tough, on the fly, for me it comes down to 79: The Fall - Witch Trials The Germs - (GI) The Residents - Eskimo Chrome - Half Machine The Raincoats The Slits - Cut Wire - 154 Buzzcocks - Different Kind TG - 20 Jazz Funk Motörhead - Overkill 81: Roky - Evil One X - Wild Gift Gun Club - Fire MX-80 - Crown Control Tuxedomoon - Desire Factrix - Scheintot Birthday Party - Prayers The Residents - Mark The Raincoats - Odyshape Flesh Eaters - Minute To Pray Minutemen - Punch Line
	9:10pm DJ Babs: lol or is this great radio for bad people...or bad radio for gfreta people!
	9:10pm Derek Westerholm: Mr. Fab, good call, well spotted, but unfortunately, no, not to my knowledge... It would be a great theme, though.
	9:10pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: This sounds like Rank / Xerox. Love it!!!
	9:10pm DJ Babs: EXACTLY my point Ultradamno!
	9:11pm DJ Babs: YPB I need to buy basically everything on the castle face catalogue.
	9:11pm DJ Babs: CRRRRRRRIST this new Gilla band is great.
	9:11pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Loving all the new Gilla Band tracks….can’t wait for the LP.
	9:12pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, there's double Fall that year... Live At The Witch Trials & Dragnet. Plus the Fiery Jack & Rowche Rumble singles... (1979, just keeps giving.)
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Right? I wasn't crazy about the last release but this one?!?! WE ARE GOING TO THAT SHOW WHEN THEY COME
	9:12pm laurapanic: I have been absolutely obsessed with Gilla Band over the last few weeks, they are terrific.
	9:12pm DJ Babs: oh here it comes...here it comes....
	9:13pm ultradamno: And another Motörhead, Bomber...to be fair
	9:13pm Derek Westerholm: Hello gsdoubleu... I'm happy your u is still doubled.
	9:14pm DJ Babs: there are so many Ultradamno! It's so hard!!!
	9:14pm DJ Babs: this tune is also FIIIIIIIRE
	9:15pm ultradamno: (but then 81 also had the first Renaldo & The Loaf and SPKs)
	🏝 9:17pm Scott67: I'm not a bad person! But music makes me do bad things! 📻🎶🍻😎🤙
	9:18pm ultradamno: Oh, shit...and Psychedelic Jungle
	9:18pm DJ Babs: I just can't get enough Meridian Brothers....
	9:19pm Alli B: I love this song
	9:19pm DJ Babs: The 79 vs 81 show WILL happen in the near future I think lol
	9:20pm DJ Babs: I love the wonkiness of Meridian Brothers. They made me finally love cumbia...
	9:20pm DJ Babs: I also love how his voice sounds like Kermit, lol.
	9:24pm ultradamno: Television Personalities And Don't The Kids (though 79 has Desperate Bicycles deeply underappreciated Remorse Code)
	9:30pm DJ Babs: Remorse Code is one of the greatest band names ever...
	9:34pm laurapanic: I'm assuming from my limited exposure, that The Fall did a fuckload of Peel Sessions
	9:35pm ultradamno: There's a whole boxset of them...
	9:35pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, they were his favourite band!
	9:35pm ultradamno: www.discogs.com...
	9:36pm Derek Westerholm: They did 24 sessions, from 1978 through to 2004.
	9:37pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, that's a better way to illustrate it, haha, thanks!
	9:40pm laurapanic: oh lordy wow...I feel like the boxset would be the only Fall one would need to own
	9:44pm Derek Westerholm: The Peel Sessions are fantastic... It's a remarkable boxset. There's been some dodgy years of the Fall, a couple of the sessions aren't strong, but the majority are stellar & many of the Peel Session versions eclipse the actual studio releases. There are quite a few songs they exclusively for Peel that never saw any other recording or release. They also weren't afraid to change things up or explore. As a Fall fan, it's the Holy Grail. For the uninitiated, it's an excellent resource, too!
	9:46pm DJ Babs: lol...laura you're not wrong! You could end up in the poorhouse collecting the entire Fall discography...just stay away from the terrible live bootlegs!
	9:47pm listener 126464: I read most of the Kid Congo Powers book on the job, we printed the not final version. Loved it.
	9:48pm listener 126464: Also, great sets DJs!
	🏝 9:49pm Scott67: Yay to over going!!🍻😎🤙
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: Listener 126464, that's awesome! I was pretty confident it would be a great read. That sounds like an excellent job... I hope it is, anyway! And thanks for the compliment... Glad you're here!
	9:50pm DJ Babs: Thank you listener 126464!!!!We do have so much fun doing this show and sharing this time with you!!!
	9:51pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Extra time at the beach!!! Yay! Everyone apply more sunscreen.
	9:51pm DJ Nico: Thanks for the wild tunes tonight!
	9:52pm Alli B: Omg yes
	9:53pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks Nico! Thanks for listening!
	9:53pm DJ Babs: thank you nico!!! A few more wild ones to come, lol.
	9:53pm laurapanic: yeh this was a top show as usual.
	9:53pm laurapanic: My Fall exposure continues solely due to this show
	9:53pm Alli B: This sounds like my brain
	9:54pm Alli B: Hi T!
	9:54pm DJ Babs: lol. this IS the sound of my brain. lol
	9:55pm Alli B: Hahaha!
	🏝 9:56pm Scott67: Just gotta say, I placed the toppings on my Pizza so well. Every bite of the crispy slices was a perfect mouthful of tomato, olive, caper, anchovy, chili & cheese! Basking in the warm buzz of a Pizzagasm! 🍻😎🤙
	9:57pm DJ Babs: Scott that sounds Deeeelightful! I'm going to have a post show yogurt popcicle.
	9:57pm DJ Babs: and more post show wine...lol
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, haha... Glad to oblige, I could easily play The Fall every week, it's a battle sometimes, not to... I make a point of not playing them from time to time, just to hold things in check.
	🏝 9:58pm Scott67: I'm having a post Pizza Beercicle!🍻😎🤙
	9:59pm Derek Westerholm: Scott, that sounds like a job well done! Excellent work! Your pizza enjoyment is bringing me much happiness!
	🏝 10:02pm Scott67: Tooooo quick!!!

Sally Patience	The Triangle Man "The Triangle Man" by "Sally Patience"	The Triangle Man c/w Buried In My Boots 7"	Disc International Records	1984	This one is a tried and true killer, a bizarre electronic romp from 1984 with thick synth bass, disco strings, and eerie female vocals. The best analogy I can think of is dystopian disco- the kind of dance music that you’d dance to in Blade Runner or Logan’s Run, for example… The chorus is especially killer, and pays off in spades (human is so humorless- love that line). Fans of JYL/Angela Werner should also love this one. The b-side is equally stunning, a more unsettling synth track with a flamenco flair and backwards masked vocal samples. This is the only single Sally Patience released, and no one knows what happened to her afterwards… Just a brief moment, as some of the best gems tend to be. Damn, this song is the shit.		0:02:09 (Pop-up)
Geisha	Pojat "Pojat" by "Geisha"	Geisha EP	Johanna	1983	from Ilmajoki, active between 1982-1984. There is little to no info on this band, save that it's three women...I would love to know about them so please...if you have any info on this amazing act, let us know!!!		0:05:25 (Pop-up)
Del-Byzanteens	My World Is Empty (Without You)	Girl's Imagination 12"	Don't Fall Off The Mountain	1981	Yet more proof that 1981 was a great year for Post Punk. The Del-Byzanteens was a New York-based no wave band active in the early 1980s. The band comprised Phil Kline (vocals, guitar); Jim Jarmusch (yes, that Jim Jarmusch!) (vocals, keyboards); Philippe Hagen (bass); Josh Braun (percussion, drums); and Dan Braun (drums, percussion). Lucy Sante wrote lyrics to some of their songs (under the name Luc Sante), while James Nares sometimes contributed as a percussionist, and occasionally John Lurie performed with them on stage. "At that time everyone in New York had a band," Jarmusch recalled in an interview for The Washington Post (1984). "The idea was that you didn't have to be a virtuoso musician to have a band. The spirit was more important than having technical expertise, and that influenced a lot of filmmakers."According to Sante, they were "a band that insouciantly blended high and low, virtuosity and amateurism, calypso and science fiction, pots and pans and drones and the Supremes. They released several records, on a British label, which did very well in the former Yugoslavia." They played a number of concerts at clubs such as CBGB, Hurrah and the Mudd Club in New York City. Two of their songs were featured in Wim Wenders' 1982 film The State of Things.		0:07:48 (Pop-up)
Y Pants	Magnetic Attraction "Magnetic Attraction" by "Y Pants"	Y Pants - Tellus Attraction 1982 (RI)	Periodic Document	1998	Y Pants were an American all-female no wave band from New York City active from 1979 to 1982. The trio, made up of photographer/musician Barbara Ess, visual artist Virginia Piersol, and filmmaker Gail Vachon, developed a unique sound via their acoustic toy instrumentation of toy piano, ukulele and a paper-headed Mickey Mouse drum kit, augmented by electric bass guitar, Casio keyboards and various low-tech effects. Y Pants' feminist poetics and toy instrumentation made them a hit in Manhattans's art gallery scene, while their No Wave clout brought them to be regulars at punk rock venues like CBGB's. In 1980, Glenn Branca recorded their debut 4-song EP for 99 Records, followed by a LP two years later.Lyrically, most of the Y-Pants' material covered the off-kilter aspects of relationships, with explorations into the perils of laundry ("Favorite Sweater"), materialism ("We Have Everything"), patriarchy ("That's The Way Boys Are"), and a reworking of Bertolt Brecht's "Barbara's Song" from Threepenny Opera. Musically they have been compared to their British post-punk contemporaries The Raincoats for their overlapping vocal choruses and kitchen-sinkish approach to sound, rhythm and composition.		0:13:30 (Pop-up)
Östro 430	Plastikwelt "Plastikwelt" by "Östro 430"	Durch Dick & Dünn	Schallmauer	1981	Östro 430 were the first all female (Punk-)band from Düsseldorf. They had their first public appearance at the „Schmier Festival“ on May 3rd 1980 at the “Okie Dokie” in Neuss Often mislabelled as NDW (a.k.a. 'Neue Deutsche Welle') or New Wave, the band was a Punk-band, indeed. In the first lineup with Monika Kellermann. After Olivia Casali and Marita Welling left the band in 1981 Gisela Hottenroth and Birgit Köster joined them. In 1983 Ralf Küpping came into the band.		0:16:44 (Pop-up)

Jennifer Vanilla	Humility's Disease	Castle In The Sky	Sinderlyn Records	2022	Jennifer Vanilla is the project of Becca Kauffman. Her Facebook Page picks "Performance Art" as her main trade. Her Youtube provides the following definition: "Jennifer Vanilla (n). Culturally absorbent prototype." Bandcamp helpfully elaborates: "Born in a dewdrop high up in the sky in an idyllic realm known as “Jenniferia,” the sexless humanoid alien Jennifer Vanilla opened a portal to the eastern coast of the United States using a magical braid that became entangled with the earthling artist Becca Kauffman. Together, the two embarked upon a musical adventure that ignited the imaginations of countless humans. A quintessentially 80s name (the decade of Kauffman’s birth), Jennifer became Kauffman’s everyperson, an archetypal mold for building connection with strangers.... ...Jennifer Vanilla has become a way for Kauffman to test drive their desires and curiosity, reflecting fantasy back through the mirror of an audience and seeing what sticks – even Kauffman’s artistic endeavors that exist outside of the Jenniferian realm, like a recent reenvisioning of a neighborhood intersection as part of their MFA work in Art and Social Practice, are still informed by the Jennifer Vanilla toolkit. At this point, the line where Becca ends and Jennifer begins is up for debate, and that ambiguity is central to the JV project: Jennifer Vanilla functions as a funhouse mirror that implores each of us to examine all the distortions in our reflections and refractions.

A Number Of Names	Sharevari "Sharevari" by "A Number Of Names"	Sharevari (12")	Capriccio Records	1981	"Two recordings by Detroit artists introduced the earliest beginnings of techno as its own style and genre. This track and "Alleys of your mind" by Cybotron are the two in question. In essence, this track is regarded by many as being the very first Detroit Techno track to hit the streets. The name Sharevari evolved from the legendary Charivari parties that began attracting a cult following in 1980 and was a tribute to Detroit's high school party scene. The track name was altered slightly to avoid any possible conflict with the Charivari party promoters. Apparently (source Techno Rebels The Renegades Of Electronic Funk book), the legendary radio [disc]jock[ey] Charles Johnson, also known as "the Electrifying Mojo" (or simply Mojo) was in the crowd the night Sharevari was first played at a Charivari party. He convinced A Number Of Names to come down to his show on radio station WGPR. Although there were only three writers credited on the record (Paul Lesley, Sterling Jones and Roderick Simpson), a virtual army of band members showed up and crammed into the DJ booth. According to Mojo, they said "What do we call ourselves? We don't have a name". Mojo said, "How may of you are there? Quite a few - why don't your call yourselves A Number Of Names?". Mojo played the record and people went crazy over it. A Number Of Names (now so called) were actually pushing a different song "Skitso" but he said "Sharevari is the one I am going to play". And so this record became one of the most important records in the evolution of techno music. A true seminal release. You will also notice that the catalogue number is P-928, which is a reference to a Porsche 928 as referred to in the lyrics of this record." ------------ Also of note: "Charivari (/ˌʃɪvəˈriː, ˈʃɪvəriː/, UK also /ˌʃɑːrɪˈvɑːri/, US also /ʃəˌrɪvəˈriː/,alternatively spelled shivaree or chivaree and also called a skimmington) was a European and North American folk custom in which a mock parade was staged through a community accompanied by a discordant mock serenade. Since the crowd aimed to make as much noise as possible by beating on pots and pans or anything that came to hand these parades are often referred to as rough music. Parades were of three types. In the first, and generally most violent form, a wrongdoer or wrongdoers might be dragged from their home or place of work and paraded by force through a community. In the process they were subject to the derision of the crowd, they might be pelted and frequently a victim or victims were dunked at the end of the proceedings. A safer form involved a neighbour of the wrongdoer impersonating the victim whilst being carried through the streets. The impersonator was obviously not themselves punished and often cried out or sang ribald verses mocking the wrongdoer. In the common form, an effigy was employed instead, abused and often burnt at the end of the proceedings. Communities used "rough music" to express their disapproval of different types of violation of community norms. For example, they might target marriages of which they disapproved such as a union between an older widower and much younger woman, or the too early remarriage by a widow or widower. Villages also used charivari in cases of adulterous relationships, against wife beaters, and unmarried mothers. It was also used as a form of shaming upon husbands who were beaten by their wives and had not stood up for themselves. In some cases, the community disapproved of any remarriage by older widows or widowers."		0:33:26 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ: Pole	Grauer Sand "Grauer Sand" by "Pole"	Tempus	Mute	2022	This track was released last week... "Pole – aka German electronic artist Stefan Betke – has announced details of a new album, “Tempus”, due out November 18 via Mute. Stefan Betke explains the album as follows: “‘Tempus’ considers the connection between the past, present, and future. It is, a natural development to the last album. One which goes further and is even more complex.” The painting on the cover, by Wolfgang Betke titled Großstadtwanderer, links into the themes explored on the album. Betke explains: “I found the whole atmosphere in this totally weird, confused head with these little shimmery eyes leaking through the colours to totally fit the idea of Tempus.”"	*	0:53:19 (Pop-up)
Spring Breeding	24 Hours On Saturn	Doing The Limbo	Spring Breeding	2022	Spring Breeding are a four piece no wave/dance-punk from Las Vegas, NV. They describe themselves as "angular sound" and this is apt. As is the descriptors of this band as having "electrical ferocity and urgency...A shuffling but insistent groove anchors an otherwise chaotic explosion of guitars and keyboards, with a Mark E Smith tinge to the vocals." There is very little to know on the interwebs about this band. This release is quite new, self released on Aug 5th and is highly recommended!

Exit Group	Plastic Coffin "Plastic Coffin" by "Exit Group"	Adverse Habitat	Castle Face	2018	Ah! Castle Face never fails to impress with their releases. From the dank warehouse recesses that brought us Useless Eaters and Dry Erase, may we introduce Exit Group - sharply futuristic post-punk with a pissed-off lean, antisocial lyrics spit over an abnormally locked-in guitar bass drums triangle, wound up tighter than a Swiss watch. Post-everything sample tweakery and chrome-dipped guitar tonality lend a darkly robotic sheen, abraded riffs pop up everywhere but where you think they should be, clanging and clanking inhumanly around elaborate Rube Goldberg patterns, tessellating under flickering municipal neon. Bone-dry furious, turning on a dime just to slap the drink out of your hand.		1:06:42 (Pop-up)
Gilla Band	Backwash "Backwash" by "Gilla Band"	Backwash Single	Rough Trade	2022	The second single from the upcoming album "Most Normal", GILLA BAND ARE BACK. Damn, this is good. “The initial idea for the whole album was that it would loosely sound like a dream,” singer Dara Kiely explains. “We didn’t really stick to the brief but it lead us down different sonic avenues. ‘Backwash’ is one of the few tracks where the words represent a dream-like circumstance. The lyrics are from a stream of consciousness rant, weird imagery and all that. The track is about attraction – fancying someone and not knowing what to say exactly. It’s an indirect love song, knowing you like someone but can’t quite articulate it. Thinking that you have already expressed your feelings, but like waking up from a dream you’ve forgotten what you actually have said or felt.”		1:09:15 (Pop-up)
Meditations On Dance, Gang Gang Dance, Simon Harper	Crime Seed	Crime Seed Single	Anti-Fragile Music	2022	Meditations on Crime is the enigmatic new collaborative project via AntiFragile Music. They recently shared debut single “Heloise” by Julia Holter and featuring Animal Collective's Geologist. Now, the collective has unleashed the new single “Crime Seed” by Gang Gang Dance. Harper Simon shares: “I first encountered Gang Gang Dance when I was performing at the All Tomorrow’s Party festival in England years ago. I believe it was just after the release of their album God’s Money. I thought it was really fresh and original and always wanted to work with them. I was really pleased Lizzie and Brian agreed to collaborate with me on this song all these years later. I had the track written and recorded with Paz Lenchantin on bass and Carla Azar on drums. The guitar part that I wrote is reminiscent of The Troggs’ I Can Only Give You Everything, at least rhythmically. Melodically it’s different and has a kind of call and response. I sent it to Lizzie who wrote the lyrics (abstract, poetic, mysterious) and delivered her idiosyncratic vocal. Her lyrics combine a kind of street vernacular with impressionistic language that suggests criminality in a way that feels reckless and sexual but also opaque.		1:12:38 (Pop-up)
Meridian Brothers	La Policia "La Policia" by "Meridian Brothers"	La Policia Single	Ansonia Records	2022	A tribute to the sound of ‘70s Salsa Colombiana cooked up by mad genius Eblis Alvarez, who warps the genre out of shape as only someone who deeply loves and understands it can. Referencing the well-worn riffs and song structure of classic salsa dura but at the same time cunningly innovative musically and lyrically, this “Renaissance” version of Alvarez’s band Meridian Brothers offers two twisted takes on the traditional idiom.

Blue Orchids	What Thing Is Man "What Thing Is Man" by "Blue Orchids"	Angus Tempus Memoir	Tiny Global Productions	2022	This album was released on July 8. "Continuing the mystical thread and acid explorations which were a hallmark of The Fall's initial line-up, Martin Bramah has quietly crafted a trove of psychedelic visions unparalleled among musicians of his generation. Despite never quite cracking mainstream public consciousness, Blue Orchids endure as a living treasures of head music for post-punks, with a series of deeply-magical recordings."

The Fall	Words of Expectation (Peel Session)	The Complete Peel Sessions 1978-2004	Castle Music	1983 / 2005	An epic song that never found its way onto any album & therefore remains fairly hidden in their catalogue. (Amongst the few epics of the era to suffer similar fates.) It made its first appearance into their live sets on Jan 16, 1983; long before the Perverted By Album album was released. Eventually, it was recorded for the band's 7th Peel Session on Dec 12, 1983 (broadcast Jan 3, 1984.) Despite multiple performances through 1983, it would eventually see three performances thereafter (Jun 1984 and twice in Feb 1986.) It would then remain unreleased until an archival Peel Session release in 1993 & this Peel Session Boxset in 2005. There's a joke in the song "if we carry on like this, we're going to end up like King Crimson", though in live performances, he often added or swapped other band names to his list of derision. (Echo And The Bunnymen, Joy Division, Crass, Wah Heat, Fad Gadget, The Smiths) NB: In our write-up for Transmissions From Echo Beach, we say that you can "find" Words Of Expectation... Well, here it is.		1:30:28 (Pop-up)
Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds	The Last Word	Philosophy And Underwear	New York Night Train Recordings	2005	A new memoir by Kid Congo Powers "Some New Kind of Kick", is set to be released Oct 18. "Kid Congo Powers has been described as a “legendary guitarist and paragon of cool” with “the greatest resume ever of anyone in rock music." That unique imprint on rock history stems from being a member of not one but three beloved, groundbreaking, and influential groups—Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the Cramps, and last but not least, The Gun Club, the wildly inventive punk-blues band he co-founded. Some New Kind of Kick begins as an intimate coming of age tale, of a young, queer, Chicano kid, growing up in a suburb east of East LA, in the mid-‘70s, exploring his sexual identity through glam rock. When a devastating personal tragedy crushes his teenage dreams, he finds solace and community through fandom, as founder (‘The Prez’) of the Ramones West Coast fan club, and immerses himself in the delinquent chaos of the early LA punk scene. A chance encounter with another superfan, in the line outside the Whiskey-A-Go-Go to get into a Pere Ubu concert, changes the course of his life entirely. Jeffrey Lee Pierce, a misfit Chicano punk who runs the Blondie fan club, proposes they form a band. The Gun Club is born. So begins an unlikely transition from adoring fan to lauded performer. In Pierce, he finds brotherhood, a creative voice, and a common cause, but also a shared appetite for self-destruction that threatens to overwhelm them both."		1:39:45 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Eucalyptus	It's In A Move "It's In A Move" by "Eucalyptus"	Moves	Telephone Explosion Records	2022	Today is Brodie West's birthday! Eucalyptus is one of his many projects. The rundown: "Toronto-based octet Eucalyptus has been steadily gathering a devoted cult following since the release of their debut 10” Eeeeeuuucaaaaaaallyyypppptus in 2012. Led by acclaimed saxophonist and composer Brodie West, the band's languid, kaleidoscopic jazz is very much a collective endeavour, the product of an internal network of improvisational synergy they've built over more than a decade together. Moves is their sixth release, and somewhat of a milestone. In addition to it being the octet's most psychedelic and arrestingly soulful release thus far, it's also their longest—their first, in fact, to cross into bonafide full-length territory. They're marking the occasion by joining the roster of Toronto favourite Telephone Explosion Records." Brodie West alto saxophone, clarinet / Nicole Rampersaud trumpet / Kurt Newman guitar / Ryan Driver clavinet / Michael Smith bass / Blake Howard percussion / Nick Fraser drums / Evan Cartwright drums Eucalyptus (Bandcamp)	*	1:43:25 (Pop-up)
Cabo Boing	Social Mold "Social Mold" by "Cabo Boing"	Real Gems For Little Jewels	376021 Records DK	2022	The music of songwriter Brian Esser is at once hilarious and horrifying. He is obsessed by clowns. It’s upsetting to say the least. But it’s also a strangely fitting accompaniment for the absurdist electronic music he’s made. His Tumblr page is mostly dedicated to the constantly grinning jesters. They beckon menacingly, floating in bodies of water; they show off arcade cabinets to small children; they play the saxophone; or they sit—in ceramic bust form—next to half-consumed jugs of milk. The archive as a whole is surreal, whimsical, and unsettling—a shrine that imagines the clowns as mythical figures from a Jodorowskyan nightmare. He has a keen ability to make music that’s both parasitically catchy and wholly unfamiliar...but fans of Devo will definitely catch a whiff of early Hardcore y ears. This shit is awesome.		1:47:56 (Pop-up)
Jake Tobin	Pain, On Leave "Pain, On Leave" by "Jake Tobin"	Torment	Chill Mega Chill Records	2014	This album was recorded in Tallahassee at the Miccosukee Land Cooperative throughout 2013. Anxious, weirdo experimental rock with jazz elements that speaks to the kind of corporate anxiety demonstrated on the album artwork. "Torment" is a concept album about being stuck in a cycle of "Office Space"-esque mediocrity and sheer boredom, the kind of stuff that sounds like a joke to those who haven't yet experienced it. There are grindingly off putting dissonant harmonies, off kilter changes and generally, a feeling of unease and stress when listening to his music. Therefore, it is great.		1:50:16 (Pop-up)
The Mystery Lights	Melt "Melt" by "The Mystery Lights"	The Mystery Lights	Wick Records	2016	Founded in California and based in Brooklyn, the Mystery Lights play psychedelia-infused garage rock with a deep reverence for the sounds of the '60s but with a dash of contemporary cleverness and plenty of spirit. Full of guitars simmering in fuzz and reverb, vocals that plead or taunt, melodies that are both driving and trippy, and an abundance of lysergic sound effects.		1:52:36 (Pop-up)
POW!	Hope Dealers "Hope Dealers" by "POW!"	Hi-Tech Boom	Castle Face	2014	The band formed in 2011, when guitarist/vocalist Byron Blum decided to form a band and reached out to two recent acquaintances, Melissa Blue and Matt Harrison. Neither was skilled at playing their instruments -- drums and synth, respectively -- and it gave the band a simple, stripped-down sound that sounded like a low-rent Devo or a jumpier Units. They played shows around the Bay Area, then released a single in 2011 ("Pretend There") for Afterlife Records. More shows and woodshedding followed until they were discovered by John Dwyer, the head of Castle Face Records and leader of Thee Oh Sees. He asked them to make a record, they did, and the resulting lo-fi, hi-energy Hi-Tech Boom was released in early 2014.		1:54:48 (Pop-up)
Kleenex/Liliput	Beri-Beri "Beri-Beri" by "Kleenex/Liliput"	Kleenex 7"	Sunrise	1978	Switzerland's Kleenex is arguably one of the greatest musical contributions to the post punk genre. They make me proud to be Swiss. The story of the band begins in Zurich, Switzerland. A handful of girls attended a Sex Pistols show and, like so many of their generation, were inspired to emulate them. Marlene Marder, the anchor of the crew, joined a punk band with some of her male friends, playing her first instrument, the saxophone. When the other members got stars in their eyes, they told Marder that punk bands couldn't have saxophonists and asked her to leave the group. She decided to start her own band, this time playing guitar, along with three of her female friends. Joining her were Lislot Hafner (Drums), Regula Sing (vocals), and Klaudia Schifferle (bass). The group dubbed themselves Kleenex and started gigging around Switzerland...and the rest is history!		1:57:40 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sounds Of The Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds Of The Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			1:59:45 (Pop-up)
Dendrons	New Outlook II "New Outlook II" by "Dendrons"	New Outlook II	Innovative Leisure	2022	The track comes from their forthcoming album, 5-3-8, out August 26th via Innovative Leisure. Lyrically, the track cycles between two refrains: “soon we’ll all be laughing too” and “Distance. Time. New outlook.” The accompanying video features glitchy, colourful, trippy shots of the band decked out in some hilarious disguises. “It is a continuation of themes explored on the preceding album track, ‘New Outlook,'” the band’s Dave Jarvie explains, “how trial and error, personal aesthetics, and every perceived achievement is reduced to comedy with enough passing time. How there is freedom in that. It’s about holding your life loosely.”		2:03:29 (Pop-up)

	8:21pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: I am enjoying this Düsselpunk.

	8:21pm laurapanic: Scott: and some chips, I love a chip
	🏝 8:22pm Scott67: Chuck us a chip mate!?🖐️😎🍻
	8:25pm listener 126464: I'm going with '79
	8:25pm ultradamno: Slash Records output that year alone may put 81 over for me
	8:27pm Derek Westerholm: Ooooohhh... The '79 vs. '81 debate has spilled into the room.... I love it!
	8:27pm laurapanic: I would like to observe that debate
	8:28pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, haha. "Observe." Ha!
	8:31pm Mr Fab: then there's the issue of albums recorded in '79 released (at least in the US) in '80/'81 to further confuse things, e.g.: "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts," "Metal Box," "London Calling," Joy Division...
	8:31pm DJ Babs: omg this is AMAZING.
	8:32pm ultradamno: Also, The Evil One was 81, though the UK s/t version split the difference being in 80
	8:32pm laurapanic: I listen to the archives constantly, since I sleep when some of my faves are on
	8:33pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Love this track…wow!!!
	8:33pm laurapanic: STOP MAKING ME CLICKY STAR GUYS
	8:33pm DJ Babs: HAHA! NO NEVER
	8:34pm DJ Babs: ALL THE CLICKY STARS
	8:34pm DJ Babs: I get into the archives while I'm paperworking and in between meetings. That's why I love vacation because I can check out more shows!
	8:35pm DJ Babs: ahhhh a classic from Derek! Goddamn I never get tired of the Sharivari..
	8:37pm DJ Babs: There's footage of...oh man, what was that dance music show that aired out of detroit? Where all the kids are dancing to this and it's fucking amazing...
	8:37pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: I also love the Adult. version. ❤️❤️❤️
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: I didn't know it until today.
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: (The original or any other version.) I was unaware.
	8:38pm DJ Babs: I think it was Ectomorph who did that newer version but they were on Ersatz...
	8:38pm DJ Babs: That record never left my bag when I was DJing in the early 2000s...so good!
	8:38pm Derek Westerholm: There are many many remixes, one is definitely by Adult.
	8:39pm ultradamno: Oh. I was hoping there a version that was just dirtier
	8:40pm DJ Babs: The version I DJ'd the Ectomorph one...is definitely dirtier..sonically at least lol
	8:42pm ultradamno: Named after a Can song, of the more popular than ever Mooney era...
	8:44pm DJ Babs: Yes! I'm also getting Simple Minds vibes from this! which could not be further away from Can lol
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, yes yes yes!!!
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Well seen!
	8:44pm DJ Babs: mostly from the singer....this does not sound like Simple Minds lol
	8:48pm DJ Babs: 'Tis a very dreamy tune this!

	8:53pm DJ Babs: sweeeeeet! I made egg roll casserole today for dinner!

	🏝 8:55pm Scott67: Yumm! Swap ya a slice for a spoonful? 🍻😎🤙💨🍕🥄🥘
	8:55pm Mr Fab: from a band named after a Can song to a band named after a Zappa album. Working on a theme, I see! Got a band named after a Velvet Underground song next, perhaps?
	8:55pm DJ Babs: hells yes. I miss pizza so much!
	8:56pm DJ Babs: haha Dereks' mind works in both logical and illlogical manners
	🏝 8:59pm Scott67: We call a Donair a Souvlaki, Gyro or a Kebab. 🍻😎🤙🌯 I made this Pizza Babs!💨🍕
	9:00pm Magneticallystripedmeme: Good evening all! I should be in bed rn but I’m being bad 😆
	9:06pm DJ Babs: haha welcome Magnetic!! Thisis the show for nice bad people! So you're in the right place!
	9:07pm Derek Westerholm: Magnetically... I'm with you there... I love bed once I'm asleep; but the idea of going there makes me too sad to take early steps in that direction.
	9:07pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: So sharp yet funky. 🔥🔥🔥
	9:09pm DJ Babs: I love the funky sharpness! It's like a good cheddar! lol
	9:09pm gsdoubleu: this is fantastic! hi everyone!
	9:09pm Mr Fab: Magneticallystripedmeme: welcome to Bad Radio For Bad People!
	9:09pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ❤️❤️❤️
	9:09pm DJ Babs: hello hello gsdoubleu!!!Nice to see you!!!!
	9:10pm ultradamno: This is actually pretty tough, on the fly, for me it comes down to 79: The Fall - Witch Trials The Germs - (GI) The Residents - Eskimo Chrome - Half Machine The Raincoats The Slits - Cut Wire - 154 Buzzcocks - Different Kind TG - 20 Jazz Funk Motörhead - Overkill 81: Roky - Evil One X - Wild Gift Gun Club - Fire MX-80 - Crown Control Tuxedomoon - Desire Factrix - Scheintot Birthday Party - Prayers The Residents - Mark The Raincoats - Odyshape Flesh Eaters - Minute To Pray Minutemen - Punch Line
	9:10pm DJ Babs: lol or is this great radio for bad people...or bad radio for gfreta people!
	9:10pm Derek Westerholm: Mr. Fab, good call, well spotted, but unfortunately, no, not to my knowledge... It would be a great theme, though.
	9:10pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: This sounds like Rank / Xerox. Love it!!!
	9:10pm DJ Babs: EXACTLY my point Ultradamno!
	9:11pm DJ Babs: YPB I need to buy basically everything on the castle face catalogue.
	9:11pm DJ Babs: CRRRRRRRIST this new Gilla band is great.
	9:11pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Loving all the new Gilla Band tracks….can’t wait for the LP.
	9:12pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, there's double Fall that year... Live At The Witch Trials & Dragnet. Plus the Fiery Jack & Rowche Rumble singles... (1979, just keeps giving.)
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Right? I wasn't crazy about the last release but this one?!?! WE ARE GOING TO THAT SHOW WHEN THEY COME
	9:12pm laurapanic: I have been absolutely obsessed with Gilla Band over the last few weeks, they are terrific.
	9:12pm DJ Babs: oh here it comes...here it comes....
	9:13pm ultradamno: And another Motörhead, Bomber...to be fair
	9:13pm Derek Westerholm: Hello gsdoubleu... I'm happy your u is still doubled.
	9:14pm DJ Babs: there are so many Ultradamno! It's so hard!!!
	9:14pm DJ Babs: this tune is also FIIIIIIIRE
	9:15pm ultradamno: (but then 81 also had the first Renaldo & The Loaf and SPKs)
	🏝 9:17pm Scott67: I'm not a bad person! But music makes me do bad things! 📻🎶🍻😎🤙
	9:18pm ultradamno: Oh, shit...and Psychedelic Jungle
	9:18pm DJ Babs: I just can't get enough Meridian Brothers....
	9:19pm Alli B: I love this song
	9:19pm DJ Babs: The 79 vs 81 show WILL happen in the near future I think lol
	9:20pm DJ Babs: I love the wonkiness of Meridian Brothers. They made me finally love cumbia...
	9:20pm DJ Babs: I also love how his voice sounds like Kermit, lol.
	9:24pm ultradamno: Television Personalities And Don't The Kids (though 79 has Desperate Bicycles deeply underappreciated Remorse Code)
	9:30pm DJ Babs: Remorse Code is one of the greatest band names ever...
	9:34pm laurapanic: I'm assuming from my limited exposure, that The Fall did a fuckload of Peel Sessions
	9:35pm ultradamno: There's a whole boxset of them...
	9:35pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, they were his favourite band!
	9:35pm ultradamno: www.discogs.com...
	9:36pm Derek Westerholm: They did 24 sessions, from 1978 through to 2004.
	9:37pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, that's a better way to illustrate it, haha, thanks!
	9:40pm laurapanic: oh lordy wow...I feel like the boxset would be the only Fall one would need to own
	9:44pm Derek Westerholm: The Peel Sessions are fantastic... It's a remarkable boxset. There's been some dodgy years of the Fall, a couple of the sessions aren't strong, but the majority are stellar & many of the Peel Session versions eclipse the actual studio releases. There are quite a few songs they exclusively for Peel that never saw any other recording or release. They also weren't afraid to change things up or explore. As a Fall fan, it's the Holy Grail. For the uninitiated, it's an excellent resource, too!
	9:46pm DJ Babs: lol...laura you're not wrong! You could end up in the poorhouse collecting the entire Fall discography...just stay away from the terrible live bootlegs!
	9:47pm listener 126464: I read most of the Kid Congo Powers book on the job, we printed the not final version. Loved it.
	9:48pm listener 126464: Also, great sets DJs!
	🏝 9:49pm Scott67: Yay to over going!!🍻😎🤙
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: Listener 126464, that's awesome! I was pretty confident it would be a great read. That sounds like an excellent job... I hope it is, anyway! And thanks for the compliment... Glad you're here!
	9:50pm DJ Babs: Thank you listener 126464!!!!We do have so much fun doing this show and sharing this time with you!!!
	9:51pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Extra time at the beach!!! Yay! Everyone apply more sunscreen.
	9:51pm DJ Nico: Thanks for the wild tunes tonight!
	9:52pm Alli B: Omg yes
	9:53pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks Nico! Thanks for listening!
	9:53pm DJ Babs: thank you nico!!! A few more wild ones to come, lol.
	9:53pm laurapanic: yeh this was a top show as usual.
	9:53pm laurapanic: My Fall exposure continues solely due to this show
	9:53pm Alli B: This sounds like my brain
	9:54pm Alli B: Hi T!
	9:54pm DJ Babs: lol. this IS the sound of my brain. lol
	9:55pm Alli B: Hahaha!
	🏝 9:56pm Scott67: Just gotta say, I placed the toppings on my Pizza so well. Every bite of the crispy slices was a perfect mouthful of tomato, olive, caper, anchovy, chili & cheese! Basking in the warm buzz of a Pizzagasm! 🍻😎🤙
	9:57pm DJ Babs: Scott that sounds Deeeelightful! I'm going to have a post show yogurt popcicle.
	9:57pm DJ Babs: and more post show wine...lol
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, haha... Glad to oblige, I could easily play The Fall every week, it's a battle sometimes, not to... I make a point of not playing them from time to time, just to hold things in check.
	🏝 9:58pm Scott67: I'm having a post Pizza Beercicle!🍻😎🤙
	9:59pm Derek Westerholm: Scott, that sounds like a job well done! Excellent work! Your pizza enjoyment is bringing me much happiness!
	🏝 10:02pm Scott67: Tooooo quick!!!
	🏝 10:03pm Scott67: Derek, there's another one in the fridge mate! What time should I expect you guys? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🍕🍕❤️❤️🍁
	10:03pm Derek Westerholm: It does seem to hurtle by sometimes... Time... Is... Strange.
	10:04pm gsdoubleu: thanks for another great night of music!
	🏝 10:05pm Scott67: Thanks Babs & Derek! Always my favourite time of the week! Not just cos it's Friday here! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙❤️❤️🍁
	10:05pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: So much fun tonight. Thank you Babs and Derek for the music.
	10:06pm Derek Westerholm: Thank-you all!!! Each and every one of you make every show & every week so fantastic. Thanks for being here with us and taking the time to write!
