The Pixies  Stormy Weather   Favoriting Bossanova  4AD  1990  Pixies started recording material for Bossanova at Cherokee Studios in February 1990,where the sessions ran into problems. Producer Gil Norton said that nothing could be recorded after 6 p.m. because the recording desk would pick up pirate radio stations. In contrast to previous records, many songs were written in the studio and few demo recordings were created. Santiago said that the band only practiced for a two-week period, in contrast to previous albums, when the band would rehearse constantly in Boston.Black Francis noted, "So I was writing lyrics on napkins five minutes before I sang. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not. That's just the nature of that songwriting." In an anecdote from the sessions for the band’s 1988 album, Doolittle, Francis told producer Gil Norton that if two-minute songs were good enough for Buddy Holly, they were good enough for him.    0:02:42 (Pop-up)
The Coathangers  Hurricane   Favoriting Larceny & Old Lace  Suicide Squeeze  2011  Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, the Coathangers were formed in 2006 by guitarist and singer Julia Kugel (aka Crook Kid Coathanger), bassist and singer Meredith Franco (aka Minnie Coathanger), keyboardist and singer Candice Jones (aka Bebe Coathanger), and drummer and singer Stephanie Luke (aka Rusty Coathanger) They play purposefully simple, hooky tunes that borrow from vintage girl group sounds and contemporary teen pop acts as much as the old-school punk and new wave outfits that inform their sound. “Dude, we are a gang of sisters,” Kugel says. “It’s beyond sisterly. We’ve been business partners. We’ve been writing mates. We’ve been friends. We probably have spent more time with each other than any other person in life. It goes beyond a band. We are protective of each other. If you’re against one of us, you’re against all of us."    0:06:10 (Pop-up)
Love & Rockets  Yin and Yang (The Flowerpot Man)   Favoriting Yin and Yang (The Flowerpot Man) 12"  Beggars Banquet  1986  Love and Rockets were an English alternative rock band formed in 1985 by former Bauhaus members Daniel Ash (vocals, guitar and saxophone), David J (bass guitar and vocals) and Kevin Haskins (drums and synths) after that group split in 1983. Starting off like some twisted off acoustic Spaghetti Western like theme and morphing into a more cosmic rock song, “Ying and Yang” perfectly reflected the internal dynamics of Love & Rockets. After the disbanding of Bauhaus, it was on very trippy night that bassist David J, decided to christen dropping acid at Daniel Ash’s house, with forming of Love & Rockets. “We’re interested in the black and white, ying and yang, good and evil. We’re trying to cope and suss out the big “What’s it all about.” We’re continually questioning existence. Not trying to sound pretentious, but looking beyond party politics to see things. We are talking to individuals rather than masses. We’re all in this together, but we are talking to the individual in the privacy of their living room.” Alcohol is my yoga, baby....    0:08:40 (Pop-up)
Tropical Fuck Storm  Ann   Favoriting Moonburn EP  Joyful Noise  2022  Australian art-punk combo Tropical Fuck Storm continues its hot streak of brain-bending releases with Moonburn, a maxi-single cassette on Joyful Noise Recordings. Fiona Kitschin steps up to the microphone on "Ann," a cover of The Stooges that swaps Ron Asheton's scorching guitar part for a deranged sound collage of guitar freakouts, siren noises, and electronics. Australia's Tropical Fuck Storm is here to remind us that many of our most urgent political and social problems have been around a long time now. Same as it ever was, as another genre bending band once sang.  *   0:12:59 (Pop-up)

Red Crayola with The Familiar Ugly  Free Form Freak Out -> Hurricane Fighter Plane   Favoriting The Parable Of Arable Land  International Artists  1967  "The Red Krayola (originally Red Crayola) is an American avant rock band from Houston, Texas formed in 1966 by the trio of singer/guitarist Mayo Thompson, drummer Frederick Barthelme, and bassist Steve Cunningham. The group were part of the 1960s Texas psychedelic music scene and were signed to independent record label International Artists, subsequently becoming labelmates with the 13th Floor Elevators. Their confrontational, experimental approach employed noise and free improvisation. The Red Crayola disbanded in the late 1960s, but were resurrected in the late 1970s when Thompson moved to England and found favor in the post-punk scene. Thompson has continued using the name, in its legally altered spelling for performances or releases in the US, for his musical projects since. The group has released recordings on European labels such as Rough Trade and Recommended. In the mid-1990s, Thompson returned to the United States, signing with Drag City and releasing further albums."    0:24:36 (Pop-up)
Thee Oh Sees (w/ Red Crayola underneath)  Block Of Ice (w/ A Red Crayola "Free Form Freakout" Underneath)   Favoriting Thee Hounds Of Foggy Notion (+ The Parable Of Arable Land)  Tomlab  2008/1967  I love all the versions of this song. I believe this is the first one. It comes to my mind often& I've been listening to it a lot lately, after finding a few excellent & epic live readings of it. You'll find, also, that John Dwyer quotes from CAN's "Connection" during the song.    0:29:47 (Pop-up)
CAN  Connection   Favoriting Unlimited Edition  Spoon  1976  Hailing right back to the earlier days of CAN, March 1969, to be exact, with first singer Malcolm Mooney. This wouldn't see the light of day for another 7 years on a collection of previously unreleased material in 1976. Not the last time that "unreleased material from the CAN archives" would make their way into the world. This song also features lyrics that John Dwyer would lovingly graft into a section of "Block Of Ice" (See/hear playlist above / below)    0:32:10 (Pop-up)
Thee Oh Sees  Block Of Ice   Favoriting The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending A Night In  Tomlab/Castle Face  2008  The most succinct (& the "proper" album version" of Block Of Ice. This song pops up many times live throughout the line ups of Thee Oh Sees, Osees, OCS, and it seems it is always fantastic... Ranging in length anywhere from 7, 12 to 25 minutes, more or less.    0:35:07 (Pop-up)
Pataphysics  Hurricane Fighterplane   Favoriting Take A Look Out Your Window  578501 Records DK  2015  Yes, a cover of the Red Crayola song. There are many to choose from. This one is as good as many. "For nearly 20 years, Pataphysics singer Pat Healy has been a vital part of why you can still call Austin “weird.” Beginning in 2000 with his band The Oblong Boys, who unplugged gas station ice machines so they could plug in their synthesizers and play to the unsuspecting people filling up their tanks, Pat’s music has had a playful-but-dark edge to it. To be specific, some might say he and a rotating series of talented groups have produced what’s called zolo music— a hyper, synthy, blips-and-blops, Zappa-obsessed, Todd Rundgren worshipping genre. Devo, Sparks, Captain Beefheart, The Fall, early XTC, and Oingo Boingo are be big influences. The Austin Chronicle once helpfully called The Oblong Boys “the city’s answer to The Residents.” A solo project called Pataphysics eventually evolved into a band, resulting in 2008’s Take A Look Out Your Window and 2015’s breakthrough My Phone’s About To Die (on cassette). Along they way, Pataphysics developed a tremendous reputation as live act, particularly Healy, who The Austin Chronicle once compared to a fire hose. They were also banned from several venues. At their core, you have to understand, Pataphysics are a punk band. Synthesizers and bright colors don’t equal cuddly and cute."    0:37:18 (Pop-up)

WE ARE SORT OF DEDICATED TO PUTTING OUT STUFF NO ONE CARES ABOUT. TAPES, T-SHIRTS, MUSIC, ETC."    0:51:32 (Pop-up)
Escape-ism  Almost No One (Can Have My Love)   Favoriting Introduction To Escaep-ism  Radical Elite  2017  ESCAPE-ISM is the found-sound dream-drama starring Ian Svenonius & Alexandra Cabral. Ian F Svenonius is an American musician and singer of various Washington, D.C.-based punk bands including Nation of Ulysses, the Make-Up, Weird War, XYZ and Chain and the Gang. Between his numerous projects, Svenonius has released more than 22 full-length albums and over 20 singles, EPs, and splits. A published author and online talk show host, Svenonius' projects share a tongue-in-cheek, radical left political ideology. There's no real nationalism in this county. "If you're poor in America, that's a criminal offense. You're not only a criminal for being poor, but you're also stupid and deficient. We don't have this national feeling of fraternity. We live in an individualist state where everyone hates everyone else, except your immediate family. We live in a mafia state."    0:52:56 (Pop-up)
Couteau Latex  Hostile Environment   Favoriting Hostile Environment/Morphee 7"  Goner Records  2016  Mechanic and melancholic post-punk tunes by the US-Swiss duo formed by Seth Sutton (Useless Eaters, Life Trap) and Lise Sutter (Maraudeur, The Staches).delivers mechanic and melancholic post-punk tunes, interconnecting European minimal synth and US punk traditions. Here, the bass is groovy and leading, the vocals are haunting, half-spoken/half-sung, the sound dusty. If we stoop to make comparisons, Couteau Latex reminds us some of our personal French idols like Deux, singing about the cigarette smoke left at night by a bunch of boys "    0:55:48 (Pop-up)
Black Randy & The Metrosquad  I Slept in an Arcade   Favoriting I Slept In An Arcade 7"  Dangerhouse  1979  Black Randy & the Metrosquad was founded in 1977 in Los Angeles. Black Randy's shtick was that he portrayed himself as black, but was obviously white; James Brown's "I'm Black and I'm Proud" was one of the cover songs that Black Randy & the Metrosquad played as a matter of routine. But Black Randy was much more than that; he was a talented lyricist whose work brims with irony and thumbs its nose at everything, even the L.A. proto-punk culture that spawned it. Among the vocalists who passed through Black Randy's ever-changing regimen of backup singers, the Blackettes, were Exene Cervenka, Alice Bag, Jane Wiedlen ,and Belinda Carlisle. Black Randy & the Metrosquad were long broken up by the time Morris died in 1983 or 1984, from complications related to HIV.    0:58:46 (Pop-up)
The Passions  Pedal Fury   Favoriting Michael & Miranda  Polydor  1980  Based in Shepherd's Bush in west London, The Passions formed in early 1978 as the Youngsters with a line-up of Gogan (guitar, vocals), Claire Bidwell (bass guitar), Richard Williams (drums), Dack Dyde (guitar) and Mitch Barker (vocals).Williams and Gogan were previously in the punk rock outfit the Derelicts. After a name change to Rivers of Passion, soon shortened to The Passions, Dyde was replaced by Timperley (formerly of The 101ers). Michael & Miranda, the band's debut album, was released on 18 April 1980,[6] preceded by their second single "Hunted".The album was produced by Fiction head Chris Parry and engineered by Mike Hedges.In May 1980, The Passions embarked on a UK and European tour supporting labelmates The Cure. They are probably best known for "I'm In Love With A German Film Star"...The lyrics were written by Gogan about Steve Connelly, a one-time roadie for The Clash and Sex Pistols who had minor roles in several German films.    1:01:12 (Pop-up)
Billiam  Jenny Destroys Records   Favoriting Vampire Club EP  Under Heat Records  2022  Billiam is from Melbourne. He releases a lot of music. He is described as "the token sonic fan in punk" Not much is findable about him on the internet. His songs are very fun. And short.    1:03:20 (Pop-up)
Oh-Ok  Brother   Favoriting Wow Mini Album  DB Recs  1982  We've played another Oh-Ok song before on the show, the very catchy "Person". Oh-OK was an American musical group from Athens, Georgia formed in 1981 with singer/lyricist Linda Hopper, bassist/vocalist/lyricist Lynda Stipe, and drummer David Pierce. Other members later included drummer David McNair and guitarist Matthew Sweet. The trio began practicing together at parties in the college community in the spring of 1981. Their first club performance break came when Stipe's brother, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., needed a backing band for a show at the 40 Watt Club. Oh-Ok are much better than R.E.M. I feel. " When Oh OK started, I was a freshman at the University of Georgia. I was hanging out downtown and on campus. I was a definite loafer. People had music studios down there. I was always really into nursery rhymes and stuff like that. At the same time, I was into real visceral stuff too. I still am. I have a huge biology collection. (laughs) Lots of fossils and things floating in formaldehyde."    1:04:33 (Pop-up)

Treasure Isle Time 

Kingston Sounds 

2011 

The group had honed their skills by playing under various guises around Jamaica in numerous 'Hotel Bands'. When the big Sound System operators of the day, Sir Coxsanne Dodd, Duke Reid and King Edwards needed new material to play out with they turned to this group of musicians to provide it. Their usual source for the material was beginning to dry up, namely the American R&B records of the day due to tastes in the USA changing.

Wet Kiss  Nobody Has To Know   Favoriting She's So Cool  DERO Arcade  2022  Wet Kiss are from Berlin, Germany. Their most recent album (released May 10) is tagged with "experimental accelerationism dark emotional femme flimsey freaky girlgroup glamrock heartbreak lonerfolk pop transgender unemployed xanax Berlin" It's difficult to decipher what is fact or a tall tale from the write up for the album, so let's just take the beginning: "She's So Cool is about love and the faggotry of rock and roll. Wet Kiss is led by singer and lyricist Brenna O who conceives of the songs using disconnected poetic phrases pasted together from her phone notes. "I would describe the scene in my head as best I could," O says "mostly in a non-musical way, and the band just got it. I knew exactly what I wanted, and they knew exactly what to do." Wet Kiss began recording for this 10-track punk drama piece in their shared suburban warehouse which was permanently set up like one big installation. I conducted my first meeting with the band amid their struggles with the local council which aimed to kick them out, and from a councilman's perspective, I can see why. Instruments strewed in every corner of this carpark wide dust hole like a museum to lost rock relics was an eye-saw to a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, a museum that only existed in Brenna's wishful imaginations. Not to mention the constant run-ins with the pigs (I'm not talking about their Manager either but that's another story)" Wet Kiss (Bandcamp)    1:18:24 (Pop-up)
Snapped Ankles  The Fish Needs A Bike   Favoriting The Fish Needs A Bike (Digital Single)  The Leaf Label Ltd.  2022  Released yesterday, Sep 28. Available for "Name Your Price" online. This is a cover of the highly underrated 1981 track from Blurt (we'd played it back on our highly underrated Jan 27 "Crab Day!" episode. Transmissions From Echo Beach: January 27, 2022: Crab Day! (AKA Some Of My Best Friends Are Ranters.)) Snapped Ankles write: “Blurt are a big deal back in the forest. We focused our logs on a band that we’ve always admired for their dedication to the simplicity of groove, and their outsider stance. They’ve been Blurting out primal rhythms and absurd poetry for over forty years. They’re an example to us all!” Snapped Ankles (Bandcamp)  *   1:21:25 (Pop-up)
The Fall  Hurricane Edward   Favoriting Levitate  Artful  1997  There was, indeed, a Hurricane named Edward in 1997, the year in which this was recorded. Edward is also what the "E" in Mark E Smith stands for. Some history: "Levitate is the 19th album by The Fall, released in 1997 on Artful Records. Levitate became the last album to feature two long-time Fall members, drummer Karl Burns and bass player Steve Hanley (whose playing was once described by Smith as the defining element of the group's music).Levitate was recorded amidst a difficult period for the group, described by personnel turmoil and financial troubles due to a VAT bill incurred in the 1980s and early 1990s for nearly £200,000. Simon Wolstencroft left after a disagreement about the recording of 'Everybody But Myself'; also having received financial advice about the group's VAT bill, he resigned from being a co-director of The Fall business. Karl Burns was fired in 1995 after the recording of The Light User Syndrome but reluctantly brought back in during the recording of Levitate, after Simon Wolstencroft left. The album was initially going to be produced by Keir Stewart and Simon Spencer (who previously collaborated with Smith under the moniker D.O.S.E. on the 1995 single "Plug Myself In"). Most of the recordings took place at Edwyn Collins's studio in West Hampstead. However, Stewart and Spencer soon fell out with Smith over payments and left after a week, taking most of the tapes with them. The only tracks from these sessions to make the album were "4½ Inch" (allegedly edited out of samples of a rehearsal recording), "Spencer", later re-dubbed by Smith as "Spencer Must Die", and "The Quartet of Doc Shanley". Scottish artist Tommy Crooks joined the group towards the end of recording Levitate, playing guitar. The album was followed by another shambolic tour. Smith sacked the whole group in Ireland in November, although they were re-instated within days. The situation was caused by the group's sudden debt crisis because of the VAT bill, which left Smith and Steve Hanley in danger of their houses being repossessed. It was during the US tour in 1998 that the group essentially fell apart, leaving Smith with only Nagle's support in rebuilding the group for their next album The Marshall Suite."    1:26:24 (Pop-up)
P.E., A. Savage  Tears In The Rain   Favoriting The Leather Lemon  Wharf Cat Records  2022  Released earlier this year on March 25. "The second album from Brooklyn combo P.E. (a collaboration between members of the bands Pill and Eaters) features a mixture of new wave and post-punk grooves, cracked electronics, and skronky sax similar to their 2020 debut, Person. However, the group seem to have become more confident since their first outing, and most of their songs are considerably more accessible and hook-happy this time around. Opener "Blue Nude (Reclined)" is midtempo but with a bassline big enough to give it some bounce, and Veronica Torres' vocals are smooth as a milkshake, while Benjamin Jaffe's sax seems like it danced out of a Waitresses song. "Lying with the Wolf" slows it down to trip-hop tempo, and Jaffe's sax and frayed synths spin a web around Torres' monologue-heavy lyrics. "Tears in the Rain," a duet with Parquet Courts' Andrew Savage, is a sophisti-pop ballad with a strangely lo-bit sample lurking beneath its shimmering percussion and rainfall effects."    1:32:18 (Pop-up)
The WAEVE  Can I Call You   Favoriting Can I Call You (Digital single)  Transgressive Records  2022  Released Sep 6. Third digital single released by the duo of Graham Coxon & Rose Elinor Dougall. "Back in May, Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall revealed their new project the WAEVE with a show in London, where they performed a bunch of still-unreleased songs, and shared their debut single together, “Something Pretty”... they’re back with their first new track since then, “Can I Call You,” along with some details about their debut album, which was produced by James Ford and will be released in February... In a new interview with NME, the pair talked about the project, which started as a collaboration in lockdown. “I hadn’t really done any writing for 2020, so it was like a capped well,” Coxon said of his initial writing sessions with Dougall. “There was a lot there. It just needed the right circumstances. It was an odd time because there was nobody on the streets, time had really slowed down, and it was interesting to try and make sense of ourselves in that situation and after our experiences. To take some risks in what we wanted to express.”"  *   1:37:35 (Pop-up)

Pram 

Sea Swells and Distant Squalls   Favoriting

Sargasso Sea 

Too Pure Records Ltd 

1995 

Apparently, NME gave this album a review of "0 out of 10" at the time? They were off by 9 or 10 on that, in my books. "Pram are a British post-rock band formed in Birmingham, England in 1988 by Rosie Cuckston (vocals, keyboards), Matt Eaton (guitar), Andy Weir (drums), and Samantha Owen (bass). Subsequent lineups have changed frequently, most notably with Cuckston's departure in 2008. Their electronic pop sound, described by AllMusic as "equally quaint and unsettling," employs unconventional instruments and draws on stylistic influences such as krautrock, exotica, and dub. The group signed to Too Pure Records in 1993, where they released their debut LP The Stars Are So Big, The Earth Is So Small... Stay as You Are. They later signed to Domino. Following the 2007 album The Moving Frontier, they took a lengthy hiatus, returning in 2018 with Across the Meridian."

Barış Manço  Gönül Dağı   Favoriting Gönül Dağı / Genç Osman (Hey Koca Topçu)  Yavuz Plak  1973  urkish rock singer, song writer and tv host. His mother Rikkat Uyanık was a famous Turkish singer in the 40s. Living in Paris during the 60s, he started a band Les Mistigris. Considered one of the most influential pop artists of Turkey. Founder member of the band Kurtalan Ekspres. Barış Manço died suddenly of a heart attack in 1999.    1:50:50 (Pop-up)
El Michels Affair & Piya Malik  Dhuaan   Favoriting Yeti Season  Big Crown Records  2021  One day during covid lockdown, Leon Michels dug up an old Yeti Costume and started chasing his kids around the yard for fun....“That was my one shining moment of Covid homeschooling. The rest was a total fucking disaster. But that one I’m proud of." The snowbound romp became the music video for “Dhuaan,” from El Michels Affair’s latest album, Yeti Season. Yeti Season bounds between influences without ever losing control. Michels says that he was listening to a lot of Turkish psych and folk rock from artists like Barış Manço and Erkin Koray as he was composing Yeti Season, which you can hear clearly...    1:55:09 (Pop-up)
Kit Sebastian  Pangea   Favoriting Mantra Moderne  Mr. Bongo  2019  The duo is formed of Kit Martin, who lives between London and France and plays all instruments on the album, and Merve Erdem, vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist from Istanbul, now based in London. This is their debut album. The album explores universal themes such as love, loss, decay, language and ideology, mixing three different languages: English, Turkish and French. Written and recorded by the duo - Kit composed all the songs and Merve wrote the lyrics - in rural France during 2018, each song was completed within a 12-hour window, pawning contemplation for spontaneity. Dubbed by Kit and Merve as ‘lo-fi-hi-fi’ in reference to the high-end tube equipment that helped it find its way to 8-track cassette tape. The style owes its sound to narrow tape width, valve distortion, spring reverb, the mixture of high end gear with lo-fi equipment as well as a disregard to the norms of hi-fi studio techniques. All instruments were analogue and no samples were used. The instruments that are used range from tablas to darbukas, balalaikas to ouds, MS20 synths to Farfisa organs and a lot of cuica.    1:59:15 (Pop-up)

I was not at all fond of DADA when I was in school because it led to a lot of fellow students pulling bullshit from out of their ass, but, though DADA is supportive of improvisation, it does not mean you can just expel random nonsense without any craft. I've gained a better appreciation of the movement since I left school and no longer have to sit through certain people's poor performances.
