Matt Elliott	January's Song "January's Song" by "Matt Elliott"	The End of Days	Ici D'Ailleurs	2023	Last week, we played Matt Elliott's excellent project 'Third Eye Foundation', in a set of bleak January songs, & mentioned that he also does more intimate work but similarly bleak (though beautifully captivating) music under his own name. The very next day he released "January's Song", as if to prove that he would have the last word on the matter & theme. So that's how we'll start this February non-bleak show. "The end of days" will release on 31th of March 2023... "Matt Elliott sings this infinitely small space, this in-between between intense joy and absolute sorrow, this border between the unspeakable and the shared. Hence this feeling of nervousness, of urgency that runs through each of these compositions. January's Song reminds us how much Matt Elliott builds each of his records as a sequence of musical movements, there is something almost baroque in this second title, something of fin de siècle, something not so far from the formulas of a Santiago De Murcia."

Kronos Quartet	Marquee Moon "Marquee Moon" by "Kronos Quartet"	Rubáiyát: Elektra's 40th Anniversary	Elektra	1990	R.I.P. "Tom Verlaine (born Thomas Miller; December 13, 1949 – January 28, 2023), an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter, best known as the frontman of the New York City rock band Television." // "The Kronos Quartet is an American string quartet based in San Francisco. It has been in existence with a rotating membership of musicians for almost 50 years. The quartet covers a very broad range of musical genres, including contemporary classical music. More than 900 works have been written for it."		0:06:31 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Television	Marquee Moon "Marquee Moon" by "Television"	Marquee Moon	Elektra	1979	R.I.P. "Tom Verlaine (born Thomas Miller; December 13, 1949 – January 28, 2023), an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter, best known as the frontman of the New York City rock band Television." // "For Marquee Moon, Verlaine and fellow guitarist Richard Lloyd abandoned contemporary punk rock's power chords in favor of rock and jazz-inspired interplay, melodic lines, and counter-melodies. The resulting music is largely hook-driven with complex instrumental parts (particularly on longer tracks such as "Marquee Moon"), while evoking themes of adolescence, discovery, and transcendence through imagery in urban, pastoral, and nocturnal modes, including references to the geography of Lower Manhattan. Influenced by Bohemian and French poetry, Verlaine's lyrics also feature puns and double entendres intended to give the songs an impressionistic quality in describing his perception of an experience."		0:10:40 (Pop-up)
Warmduscher	Whale City "Whale City" by "Warmduscher"	Whale City	The Leaf Label	2018	Consisting of The Saulcano (FWF’s Saul Adamczewski), Mr Salt Fingers Lovecraft (Childhood’s Ben Romans-Hopcraft) and various ex-Fat Whites and members of Paranoid London with equally silly pseudonyms, Warmduscher follow the modus operandi of the entire FWF umbrella corporation. That is, they pick a traditional genre and do everything in their wicked power to leave it a broken, quivering wreck by the time they’re finished with it. Like a grime-funk Sin City, ‘Whale City’ is peopled by a colourful cast of deviants. The title track concerns glamorous junkie Jimmy and bulk-mover Lilly scamming and sleazing their way to the top in this filthy metropolis. Warmduscher offer an ultimately imaginative, fun and thrilling take on rock ‘n’ roll, in an era where music of this ilk can feel so suffocating. Never boring, never dull, this is a glowing, fire-breathin’, thunder-clappin’ ghost train of a band. WE ARE GOING TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT AND I CANNOT WAIT.		0:15:47 (Pop-up)
Hotel Lux	National Team "National Team" by "Hotel Lux"	Hands Across The Creek	The state51 Conspiracy	2023	‘National Team’ is from their forthcoming album Hands Across The Creek, which will be released on January 27th. ‘National Team’ is a football-themed tune, “an ode to the ageing and beautiful game.” Discussing the track, the band said: “The tune was conceived when I was sat watching England’s National Football Team play on the TV whilst tucking into a very sad takeaway, watching people my age and considerably younger winning at life.”	*	0:18:13 (Pop-up)
Immy Owusu	Brown Supremacy "Brown Supremacy" by "Immy Owusu"	Brown Supremacy Single	Hopestreet Recordings	2022	Immanuel Kwabena Dreessens-Owusu grew up in two worlds: the sea bleached lifestyle of Torquay and the Surf Coast with its rock n roll soundtrack, and the musical heritage of his Ghanaian / Dutch family. Immy’s father Kojo is one of Australia’s best regarded West African musicians and his grandfather Koo Nimo is foundational figure of Ghanaian Highlife. On Brown Supremacy, Immy takes Amanzaz loops, and weaves his own songwriting over the top, keeping the iconic riff and the “get together, stay together” hook from the original. He adds chunky kicks and snares, fuzz atmospherics, and ‘Castles Made Of Sand’ reverse delay guitar. Immy says, ‘When I first moved to Torquay, for some kids I was the first ‘black’ person they had ever seen before, and their first experience from any other culture that wasn’t their own. In high school I pushed away from people who looked like me in an attempt to fit into the establishment. How ‘black’ I felt was compounded by how ‘white’ I was treated by my Ghanaian family (in Africa). For me this song is my story about finding a place to belong.’		0:21:45 (Pop-up)
PAINT	Ta Fardah "Ta Fardah" by "PAINT"	Spiritual Vegas	Mexian Summer	2020	Pedrum Siadatian first rose to prominence in psychedelic circles for his guitar and vocal contributions to the astral navigations of mercurial L.A. band Allah-Las, but approaches his solo project Paint with a crystal-clear focus. Spiritual Vegas follows 2018’s eponymous debut, and is full to the brim with lazing psychedelic pop songs and winding guitar melodies. Siadatian’s influences are worn on his sleeve: Kevin Ayers, Felt, Turkish psych, Brian Jonestown Massacre, etc...Ta Fardah’ is sung in Farsi as a nod to Siadatian’s Iranian heritage. Winding psychedelic melodies come thick and fast, showcasing Siadatian’s aptitude as a guitarist as much as a crafter of fantastical ditties....		0:25:48 (Pop-up)

Gina Birch	I Play My Bass Loud "I Play My Bass Loud" by "Gina Birch"	I Play My Bass Loud	Third Man Records	2023	"Legendary post-punk musician, artist, and filmmaker Gina Birch has announced the release of her debut solo album, I Play My Bass Loud, arriving via Third Man Records on Friday, February 24, 2023." " Birch recorded with Youth (Killing Joke, U2, Toots and the Maytals) at his garden shed studio in Wandsworth, England. While many of the album’s songs were fully formed by Birch before the sessions, the two artists teamed up to co-write a number of additional tracks..." “It was a fabulous experience to record at Youth’s in Wandsworth,” says Birch. “Youth likes my passion and my bad guitar playing. I like his attitude, so calm and focused... in a Zen kind of way. We are in fact opposite sides of the same coin.” "I Play My Bass Loud, its declarative title evoking her singular instrumental approach as well as a potent rebuke to how female musicians can be diminutively typecast and ignored. “There’s the whole thing about women playing their music and wanting to be heard, wanting acknowledgment or the space to do it,” Birch says. “The bass is sometimes assigned as a lesser instrument, and yet because of reggae and the creativity of a lot of women players, it has always been a creative and phenomenal instrument.”" The title track features no less than five female bassists, including The Modettes’ Jane Crockford and Emily Elhaj, bassist for Angel Olsen (with whom The Raincoats collaborated in 2016). “I always thought, if I open my big bay window upstairs and play my bass, I’m not some groovy young rapper,” says Birch. “I’m this old white woman playing my bass guitar out of my window. I just want to stick my head out and yell down the street: HELL, I’M HERE, AND I’M PLAYING MY BASS LOUD!” Along with her eclectic musical output, Birch has proven a gifted filmmaker, directing videos for The Raincoats, as well as such like-minded artists as The Libertines, New Order, Beth Orton, and more. In recent years, Birch has committed herself to painting, creating a growing body of work that saw her illustrate a recent book of Sharon Van Etten’s lyrics." This song, as all songs in this set, feature the production work of Martin Glover, AKA Youth... He seems to have been busy lately producing amazing female artists that were at the vanguard of the original punk/post-punk first wave.	*	0:38:52 (Pop-up)
Vivien Goldman	Next Is Now "Next Is Now" by "Vivien Goldman"	Next Is Now	Youth Sounds / Cadiz Entertainment	2021	"Vivien Goldman's substantial role in punk history is firmly cemented by not just her books and music journalism and her work as a "professor of punk" at New York University, but also by her musical output as part of art pop collective the Flying Lizards and her solo recordings. Goldman's dubby and danceable 1981 single "Launderette" ranks as a post-punk essential, the kind of strange and inventive track that somehow manages to feel perpetually new as years go on. Arriving just about 40 years later, Next Is Now, Goldman's first solo music in decades, holds elements of the same excitement and studio exploration that she excelled at in the late '70s and early '80s. The echo-drenched vocals, deep bass lines, and digital horn lines of tracks like "Russian Doll" and "Saturday Afternoon" replicate the meeting of dub-informed production and rough-edged punk that defined her best early tracks. Along with producer Youth, Goldman dabbles in various styles throughout the course of Next Is Now"		0:43:11 (Pop-up)
Brix Smith	Fast Net "Fast Net" by "Brix Smith"	Valley Of The Dolls	Grit Over Glamour	2023	"The Fall veteran Brix Smith has revealed plans to release a solo album called ‘Valley Of The Dolls’, as well as sharing details of an all-female live supergroup featuring members of My Bloody Valentine." "The punk legend, known for her work with The Fall as well as her own band The Extricated among others, was speaking at the AIF Festival Congress 2022 in Bristol earlier this week to discuss her work as as President of The F-List For Music – a not-for-profit organisation set up to help female musicians gain greater representation and professional opportunities in the UK music industry. Towards the end of her talk, Smith shared information about an upcoming record made with Killing Joke bassist and esteemed producer Youth. “Nobody knows about this in public, so hello – get ready,” she began. “During lockdown I was put together by a manager to write. I wanted to stop doing The Extricated, I wanted to do something else, I didn’t know what. “I was put together as a songwriter with Youth. His manager said, ‘Youth is a Shaman and you’re a witch so you two are perfect together’. We’d never met before but we met on Facetime and we started to send files backwards and forwards.” With Youth working from Spain and Smith in London, he would send her backing tracks while she would return lyrics and vocals before it “quickly developed into something special”. “He said, ‘Brix – this is your solo album. This is not going to be for anyone else’,” said Smith. “Now I’ve finished the album with Youth, it’s just about to be mastered, we’ve got two amazing guest female vocalists on it.” Smith also went on to tell the Bristol crowd that the album would be called ‘Valley Of The Dolls’ and “will hopefully be out by the end of the year and hopefully singles will be dropping quite soon.” Discussing plans to tour the project, Smith explained how she “decided to put together an all-female band”. “This is the announcement: I’m going out on the road with an all-female band,” she revealed. “Two of them are from My Bloody Valentine. I’ve got Deb Googe on bass and Jen Marco on keys and guitar. Then I have two other women from a duo that you may have heard of called from Deux Furieuses. They’re a mixture of Savages and Royal Blood and they’re called Vas and Ros.” She added: “I’m going under the name Brix Smith or possibly Brix Smith Group, I haven’t decided yet. It’s time for me to put my money where my mouth is and take it out there! All of us are between 40 and 60 and they’re all top post-punk feminists.” Smith went on to explain how “the dynamic of playing with all women” was “something I’ve never done”. “I’ve always been a woman in a man’s world,” she added. “The Fall were dirty, ugly blokes, you know? The dynamic of playing with these women is just phenomenal. It’s just nice to be hanging out with great like-minded people." She has also been quoted as saying “I’ve put together the motherfucker of all girl bands.”	*	0:47:03 (Pop-up)
Poly Styrene	I Luv Ur Sneakers "I Luv Ur Sneakers" by "Poly Styrene"	Generation Indigo	Future Noise Music Ltd.	2011	Said Poly Styrene about her (final) album: ""It's an upbeat album. I wanted to put something positive out there. We need to get back to love and light and stop fighting over resources." Killing Joke's Youth produced Generation Indigo at his studio in Spain after hearing and loving Poly's new output - and by all accounts, having Youth at the helm is always a demanding, highly productive, process, which often involves writing new songs every day. No sitting around drinking tea and noodling at this particular studio... "I came to him with 15 songs, not all of which ended up on the album of course, but he told me to go back to my hotel and write five more," explains Poly. "Some of them didn't have enough hooks so I needed to work on that too. He can be quite tough but it was a good experience. Youth brought a lot of new elements into it." The title, Generation Indigo, was inspired by Indigo Children, "the generation my daughter was born into, a generation that can change things""		0:50:12 (Pop-up)
Essential Logic	Land Of Kali (Full Version)	Land Of Kali	Hiss And Shake	2022	It was such a fantastic surprise to see the birth of a new Essential Logic full length last year! The Land of Kali (co-produced by Youth), is the first new Essential Logic studio album in 43 years. Laura Logic says of Youth: "He is an awesome magician and very in tune to different levels of reality. I was pleasantly surprised when I knocked on his door for the first time with a few sketches of songs. His house was full of beautiful old paintings of Radna Krishna, Indian instruments, deities of Buddha, Ganesh, Jesus, temple bells... I had no idea we would have so much in common! He had also lived in India and recorded monks for weeks on end in a Buddhist monastery and visited ancient temples there. We both share a love for the real India. Despite the limitations of working through lockdown, we had some wonderful esoteric chats on the occasions when we met up for recording and mixing..."	*	0:54:01 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Siouxise & The Banshees	Kiss Them For Me (Kathak Mix #1)	Superstition [Deluxe version]	Polydor	1991	"The song presented a change in musical direction for Siouxsie and the Banshees, adopting a much more straightforward pop-oriented feel than previous efforts, due in part to Hague's production work. Siouxsie Sioux's cryptic lyrics were an ode to actress and sex symbol Jayne Mansfield.The lyrics use Mansfield's catchword "divoon", referring to her heart-shaped swimming pool and her love of champagne and parties, and to the car crash that killed her in 1967. Kiss Them for Me was also the name of a 20th Century Fox motion picture made in 1957 starring Mansfield and Cary Grant." "The "Kathak Mix", remixed by producer Youth, features spoken samples of Robert Anton Wilson in the introduction."		1:00:43 (Pop-up)
Hot Chip	Over and Over "Over and Over" by "Hot Chip"	The Warning	Domino	2006	I love this song. I LOVE THIS SONG. A rhapsodic, DFA-sized slice of smart pop that sauces about like George Galloway in a ‘Sheba’ factory, here’s where Hot Chip get clever enough to dispense with those honky Prince-isms, and replaced them with a James Murphy strut and addictive hooks. And yet it’s a charmingly British thrill – you suspect that what sounds like a muted cowbell here is actually someone hitting a kettle with a stick, plus there’s an arch lyricism to lines such as, “Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal/The smell of repetition really is in you” and nudge-nudge humour when it all goes Kraftwerk in the middle and a robot intones “K.I.S.S.I.N.G.S.E.X.I.N.G./C.A.S.I.O.P.O.K.E.” for no apparent reason. Electro-suave. Fuck, I miss 2006.		1:15:24 (Pop-up)
Buffalo Daughter	Socks, Drugs And Rock 'n' Roll	New Rock	Buffalo Ranch	1998	This is one of those wonderful songs that in no way, shape or form sounds 25 years old. Buffalo Daughter is considered to be the linchpin of the so-called "cut-and-paste" rock Shibuya-kei movement from Japan. In a 1998 interview, the group explained that "Buffalo" projects a pleasing image of American culture and countryside and at the time of the group's original formation, all the members were girls, so "Daughter" was appropriate.		1:21:18 (Pop-up)
Josef K	Fun N' Frenzy "Fun N' Frenzy" by "Josef K"	The Only Fun In Town	Postcard Records	1981	The band was formed in 1979 originally as TV Art by Paul Haig (vocals, guitar) and Ronnie Torrance (drums), later joined by Malcolm Ross (guitar, keyboards), with Gary McCormack added on bass guitar, who soon left (later joining The Exploited) with David Weddell replacing him. They disliked the name and were inspired to change it when they were asked at the last minute to open for the Clash at the Odeon on January 20, 1980 after the original opener dropped out. They recorded their debut album and immediately shelved it for sounding "too polished", then returned to the studio in Belgium to record The Only Fun in Town, opting for a more 'live' sound and recording the whole album in two days, Haig later expressing a measure of regret that "we decided to make an almost unlistenable record with the vocals mixed down really low". They split shortly after in 1982 with Haig going solo, and other members ending up in Orange Juice, Blancmange, Aztec Camera and other bands of note...		1:24:32 (Pop-up)
Lora Logic & Essential Logic	Hiss and Shake	Pedigree Charm / Logically Yours Essential Logic Boxset	Hiss And Shake Records	1981 / 2022	Derek Bought this boxset and WHOOOWEEE IS IT GREAT. It's all the logic you need and want...Pedigree Charm remains a great forgotten album of the era. A little more controlled than her debut, Pedigree Charm never disappoints. If your ears have been opened wide by Beat Rhythm News, than denying yourself the many pleasures of this recording is senseless. SENSELESS AND WITHOUT LOGIC.		1:26:28 (Pop-up)

Italia 90	Magdalene "Magdalene" by "Italia 90"	Living Human Treasure	Brace Yourself Records	2023	First full-length from London, UK quartet, released Jan 18, 2023. "Living Human Treasure was recorded at the residential Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne. With five days booked the whole album was tracked within two days with producer Louis Milburn. For the rest of the allotted time, they explored the nooks and crannies of the building and the bounty of unusual instruments lying around to add mystical textures to the bones of the music. From the album...The abuse of women in the Magdalene laundries is directly addressed (on the third) track. The disdain expressed against the Irish Catholic church is literally spat out: // “Magdalene, Magdalene, Magdalene, Magdalene the killer, // Magdalene, Magdalene, Magdalene, Magdalene the killer” // As is befitting the subject matter it’s loud and repetitive, as if attempting to ensure all are aware of such an atrocity and that the victims should never be forgotten. Italia 90 use their music to make strong statements on social injustice, as well as commentary on the state of the nation. It is strong, opiniated and at times uncomfortable. In this case the unacceptable consequences of this institution is highlighted, and that is a power in itself." (Partial quote from "God Is In The TV" 'zine/site) Italia 90 (Bandcamp) ///////// Italia 90 (Magdelene Video [official]) //////// ------ "The Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, also known as Magdalene asylums, were institutions usually run by Roman Catholic orders, which operated from the 18th to the late 20th centuries. They were run ostensibly to house "fallen women", an estimated 30,000 of whom were confined in these institutions in Ireland. In 1993, unmarked graves of 155 women were uncovered in the convent grounds of one of the laundries. This led to media revelations about the operations of the secretive institutions. A formal state apology was issued in 2013, and a £50 million compensation scheme for survivors was set up by the Irish Government. The religious orders which operated the laundries have rejected activist demands that they financially contribute to this programme"	*	1:47:49 (Pop-up)

Released in April 2014, it was the band's first album since 1991's Trompe le Monde, and the first Pixies album not to feature bass guitar player Kim Deal. Instead, bass guitar duties on the album are handled by Simon "Ding" Archer, a former member of the British post-punk band The Fall. The album combines all the songs from the band's 2013–14 extended play releases—EP1, EP2, and EP3—which were recorded and produced in 2012 by Gil Norton, who produced the band's previous albums Doolittle, Bossanova, and Trompe le Monde."		1:51:03 (Pop-up)

Decius, Lias Saoudi, Douglas Lucas	Roberto's Tumescence	Roberto's Tumescence Single	The Leaf Label	2023	Tumescence is defined as "the quality of being swollen, or a swollen part of the body, especially caused by sexual excitement" It is an extremely salacious word. And Decius, and Lias Saoudi are indeed, salacious. Decius is when members of Trashmouth Records, Fat White Family & Paranoid London find themselves climbing out of a hole together at a disco after hours. Other than canonisation, we have no plans for the future. 'Roberto's Tumescence', the fourth and final single from the now seminal 'Decius Vol. I' is here for you NOW.

Robert Wyatt	Pigs... (In There) "Pigs... (In There)" by "Robert Wyatt"	EP's	Domino	1999	A founding member of the influential Canterbury scene bands Soft Machine and Matching Mole, he was initially a kit drummer and singer before becoming paraplegic following an accidental fall from a window in 1973, which led him to abandon band work, explore other instruments, and begin a forty-year solo career. A key player during the formative years of British jazz fusion, psychedelia and progressive rock, Wyatt's own work became increasingly interpretative, collaborative and politicised from the mid-1970s onwards. His solo music has covered a particularly individual musical terrain ranging from covers of pop singles to shifting, amorphous song collections drawing on elements of jazz, folk and nursery rhyme. Wyatt retired from his music career in 2014, stating "there is a pride in stopping, I don't want the music to go off."		2:03:13 (Pop-up)

	8:13pm ultradamno: I recall lightning struck itself really one-ups I've seen fire and I've seen rain
	8:13pm laurapanic: I heard this song for the first time yesterday. 70s male oriented bands have no interested me in the past. I'm older now....
	8:13pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:09 Your welcome
	8:13pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:13 nah, I am enjoying too much, sorry mate.
	8:15pm Alli B: Hi!
	8:15pm DJ Babs: Heya Tyler...how are you! Nice to see ya !!!
	8:15pm DJ Babs: Hi Alli!!!!!!!
	8:15pm ultradamno: Oh, end of the dang century!
	8:16pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:15 You, also, Babs! Good to be here.
	8:16pm ultradamno: Can no one at least play Devo's version of The Addams Family theme for Lisa Loring?
	8:18pm Tyler: The cadence reminds of the Beastie Boys :)
	8:18pm DJ Babs: lol awwww that one too! I didn't know Devo covered it! And yes it's very fight for your right to party this tune....
	🏝 8:19pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @8:13 You stingy bugger! Enjoy it for me mate! 🌻
	8:19pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:18 Not a bad thing & much more interesting than 'Fight For Your Right' :)
	8:19pm ultradamno: There was some compilation of bands covering TV themes it was on...
	8:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:11 Tyler, all is well!
	8:20pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:19 Glad to hear. We're actually getting some sun this February which helps with the motivation & energy.
	8:21pm DJ Babs: Damn straight. I need some sun. My mom is in Mexico right now and I'm super envious lol...
	8:22pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:21 My parents are heading there soon, as well. February is the month I'd most like to be on vacation but I seldom get it sorted.
	8:23pm Tyler: This song is scratching me in the right place :)
	8:25pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:19 I'm having a hard time finding proof this exists, but I remember it distinctly.
	8:26pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @8:23 Glad you like it Tyler..yeah it is an awesome tune...it borrows heavily from a sample but becomes a whole new thing!!!
	8:32pm Tyler: Yay - Kevin Ayers & Felt!
	8:32pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Ta Fardah" by "PAINT" The band Spray Paint are more efficient
	8:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ ultradamno @8:16 What the what..? It sounds like something that SHOULD exist, but sadly it apparently does not. make it happen, Devo!
	8:34pm Zipperhead7: Hi Babs and Derek! My major discovery this year to date was that OCS track you played awhile back. I had NO IDEA Dwyer and Co. were such a fire-breathing monster live! Been watching their live stuff on the 'Tube and it's amazing. Funny to see him swig a water bottle while the drummers are pounding away. It's almost sadistic
	8:35pm ultradamno: ↳ Mr Fab @8:32 Part of why I'm certain it does is I distinctly remember a review that said their version "lacked the menace of the original"
	8:38pm ultradamno: It might be this (it's certainly the graphic that was in my head) www.discogs.com...
	8:41pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Mr Fab and Zipperhead!
	8:42pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "I Play My Bass Loud" by "Gina Birch" This track . . . be still, my heart!!
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:34 Ah Zipperhead I;m so glad you enjoyed that track. Oh HELL yes, Dwyer hops about like a little possessed imp lol Their live shows are BLISTERING. I think we've lost track of how many times we've seen them! A show never to be missed!
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:34 Zipperhead, that's an excellent discovery... Love OhSees / Thee Oh Sees, etc. so so much & have been very lucky to see them live on more than one occasion. Definitely not to be missed!
	8:43pm Tyler: Love the flow on this song. Like waves lapping against a dock...
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:42 Also the video for this is utterly absolutely charming!
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: The video is definitely super fun!
	8:43pm DJ Babs: Send this song to your favourite bass player!!!
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Five female bassists on this track! Five!
	8:44pm ultradamno: Huh, thing on You Tube says Vic Mizzy ...though Daniel Johnston's Casper is on it so it seems like it wouldn't be the original...
	8:45pm ultradamno: Yeah, what's on You Tube is def the original...
	8:45pm Alli B: Beautiful flow
	8:47pm Tyler: 'Allo Alli & 'Ullo Ultradamno!
	8:47pm laurapanic: Gina Birch and Vivien Goldman - lifting up women who truly contributed deeply to my musical heritage and need to be amplified to musical nerds everywhere.
	8:49pm ultradamno: Hiya Tyler!
	8:49pm Feldy: Hello Babs and Derek!
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:47 Laura, 100%!
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: Hello AlliB!
	8:49pm Tyler: ↳ laurapanic @8:47 All it takes is a listen to convert. But we should keep them away from the Beardo's :)
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Feldy!
	8:49pm DJ Babs: Agreed Laura. Also it is fucking amazing to hear women "of a certain age" making such amazing amazing music still to this day!!!
	8:50pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Feldy!! Nice to see ya!!!
	8:52pm Zipperhead7: jeez y'all are on a serous roll!!!
	8:52pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Fab, btw!
	🏝 8:52pm Kat in Chicago: Enjoying the femme set
	8:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kat in Chicago @8:52 Thanks Kat, I very much enjoyed putting it together! Weird that production by Youth was the common thread for all these songs. Fell a bit down that rabbit hole, but wanted to keep it femme for the artists.
	8:56pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:52 Damn right when we rock we roll! lol
	8:56pm DJ Babs: I would definitely say that I would enjoy dancing around the flames to this with my witchy sisters!
	8:57pm ultradamno: Making me think we're due for a sophomore Slum Of Legs album
	8:57pm Tyler: This has the feel like when the 3rd tequila shot kicks in...
	8:58pm laurapanic: this set is great
	8:58pm DJ Babs: heheheh! I agree Tyler and thank you so much so glad you're enjoying the set!!!We aim to please!
	8:59pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:52 Aww, thanks Zipperhead... Youth seems to be on a roll! Excellent first-wave D.I.Y. (post)punk females are on a roll! It's a resurgence! It's a renaissance!
	8:59pm Zipperhead7: ↳ laurapanic @8:58 yes this is an incredible set! So glad to catch it in realtime
	9:00pm laurapanic: I have a online work meeting now. I'm gonna try to make go quick as possible!!! Darn it!
	9:00pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:58 Wonderful as always. It's rare for me to hear music I haven't heard before that I also like. You & Derek always deliver. I'm getting the uncontrollable urge to dance.
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: These artists are fantastic! Glad we're all enjoying them together!
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: Have a good meeting, Laura!
	9:00pm Feldy: Digging these a lot
	9:01pm Tyler: ↳ laurapanic @9:00 I should be working as well, but screw it! Hurry back if you can...
	9:02pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @9:00 Cheers Laura!!!
	9:02pm ultradamno: Don't forget it's 5hrs 57min from BC Friday isitbandcampfriday.com
	9:02pm Tyler: Siouxsie!
	9:04pm Feldy: I’m compiling music for a work conference, even though the senior team will ask for what they think is hip (Skrillex) so maybe I can pull some bangers from this show
	🏝 9:06pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Feldy @9:04 Skrillex??? 🙄
	9:07pm Feldy: @Kat I know! Revolting
	9:08pm ultradamno: It was, I remember it coming out almost concurrently with her revealing her cancer diagnosis and death shortly thereafter.
	🏝 9:09pm Kat in Chicago: That Brix tune was sassy
	9:10pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:09 I kept thinking of skynet...but quicker
	9:12pm ultradamno: Her being a witch means she can't climb these stairs. twitter.com...
	9:13pm Tyler: <3 The Flying Lizards!
	🏝 9:15pm Kat in Chicago: yeah I want to see that video
	🏝 9:16pm Kat in Chicago: Oh this is one of my favorites. The joy of repetition always is in me
	9:18pm Alli B: Such a fun song to dance to
	🏝 9:18pm Kat in Chicago: Saw Hot Chip live probably three times over a couple of years? Super good live band.
	9:18pm DJ Babs: ↳ Feldy @9:04 Lol Feldy for sure...because Skrillex is so no longer hip...lol tho I am not sure if we are either...that being said, I do identify as a proto hipster. This tune is hip as hell I feel. Always have. I do cut a serious rug to this one in the club...
	9:19pm DJ Babs: oh they are so good. Their second record I think is absolutely my favourite...
	🏝 9:19pm Kat in Chicago: I did a radio show with a repetition theme and this was definitely played
	9:20pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:18 These days you might be able to get Skrillex to perform in person at your company event, Feldy :)
	9:20pm DJ Babs: I wouild definitely qualify this as a banger.
	9:20pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:20 Lol Tyler troo how the mighty have fallen...and they thought dubstep would last forever!! LOL
	🏝 9:20pm Kat in Chicago: 100%
	9:21pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:20 Banger & Mash!
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Tho I have an mp3 of a dubstep version of Duran Duran's Rio remixed dubstep style and it's fucking FIRE lol. Hilarious fire, but fire.
	9:21pm laurapanic: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:19 A band called Brandy has a record called The Gift of Repetition. From 2020 and I loved it.
	9:22pm laurapanic: wooohoooo I'm back thank goodness
	🏝 9:22pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ laurapanic @9:21 found it on bandcamp, tab open to listen later!
	🏝 9:22pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @9:22 That was a quickie mate!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: Nice! Ya didn't miss too much!
	9:22pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:19 Repetition is an excellent theme! Nice one!
	🏝 9:23pm Kat in Chicago: I need to check out more Buffalo Daughter

	9:26pm DJ Babs: Honestly Buffalo Daughter are so freakin great Again what a timeless tujne. If you'd told me that came out yesterday I'd believe you!!!
	9:26pm DJ Babs: 15 and Raining is definitely depressing.
	9:28pm Tyler: Nice No-Wave vibes on this one!
	9:28pm ultradamno: 34°F Mostly Cloudy...no chance of meatballs
	9:29pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:28 Sorry to hear there will be no meatballs :(
	9:30pm DJ Babs: mmmmeatballs
	9:31pm Mike Rogers: Hi DJ Babs san & Derek san!!! Greetings from Japan!
	9:31pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:28 I've got 31oC////I've got hot 30s you have cold 30s
	9:32pm Tyler: Speaking of meatballs, there's a great Josh White folk song called 'One Meatball' that I quite like.
	🏝 9:32pm Scott_Oz: ↳ ultradamno @9:28 I had spaghetti for lunch, so must've summoned the rain! 🍝😎🤙🍷🌧️
	9:32pm Derek Westerholm: Mike Rogers san! Hello hello hello!!!!
	9:32pm ultradamno: Well, it was about 8°F the other day, so...heat wave
	9:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:31 Mike, you just missed Buffalo Daughter!
	9:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @9:32 Hey! I know them!!!
	9:33pm Tyler: Awww... Babs! You've broken out the workout music! :)
	9:34pm Tyler: Was it you that was playing the Guy LaFleur Disco album?
	🏝 9:34pm Kat in Chicago: I remember 20 Minute Workout, can't say I exercised along tho
	9:34pm laurapanic: Hi Mike Rogers!!!!
	9:36pm Zipperhead7: My favorite exercise program was called "Sit and Be Fit," where you could roll on the balls of your feet, flex your hindquarters and stuff like that
	9:36pm Tyler: There's an hilarious episode of 'Young Drunk Punk' in which all the men in town suddenly become interested in aerobics when the '20 Minute Workout' starts airing :)
	9:37pm ultradamno: Unlistenable? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
	9:38pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:36 Tyler, that sounds fantastic... I don't know 'Young Drunk Punk'...
	9:38pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:37 Ultra, good for you! Haha.
	9:38pm Tyler: Josef K managed to record a lot of material in their short time. Though they only put out 1 album, I have a collection that has about 3 albums worth of material on it.
	9:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:33 Aww, Mike, that's awesome that you know Buffalo Daughter, we were just talking about how timeless that song sounded in today's terms.
	9:39pm ultradamno: Speaking of Exploited, I guess their singer had a heart attack onstage. I think he's OK now...but that where punk rock is now.
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:38 Tyler, yes, "Entomology", correct? So much excellent stuff on it!
	9:41pm ultradamno: I90!!!
	9:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @9:34 Hi Laura san!
	9:42pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:41 Yes, exactly! Well worth getting even if you have 'The Only Fun In Town'.
	9:42pm ultradamno: ^^^That really makes it seem like I'm super excited about an interstate highway
	9:43pm Tyler: I saw Suicide at the Knitting Factory in New York. Life changing show!
	9:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Tyler @9:43 wow!!

	9:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:34 no I don't have that guy lafleur album...YET on vinyl but yes I think I did play it at one point on the show!
	9:45pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Magdalena (Live at Rockpalast 1982)" by "Alan Vega" Vega came up in my conceptual recasting of Laverne & Shirley in late '70s NYC twitter.com...
	9:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:36 omg I need to learn how to sit and get fit!!!!!
	9:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:39 oh jesus! I guess if you are gonna have a heart attack on stage is as good a place as any...maybe except a hospital...
	9:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 Awww I WAS gonna play laverne and shirley tho this week. I will play next week! I have their album lol.
	9:47pm DJ Babs: I SHOULD HAVE PLAYED IT IN THE AND SET!!!
	9:47pm DJ Babs: DOH
	9:47pm Feldy: LOL @Tyler then I would have to have noise canceling headphones so I couldn’t hear it
	9:48pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:46 The grimmer version was Eric Dolphy falling into a diabetic coma onstage and ultimately dying, in part because doctors assumed he was a junkie (he was actually a rare jazz guy who stayed sober) and deprioritized him...
	9:49pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:45 Bien sur! I thought it was you. The Youtube clips of that & his 70's talk show are pretty hilarious :)
	🏝 9:50pm Kat in Chicago: Have to bounce in a few, thanks Babs 'n' Derek!

	🏝 9:51pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:50 Seeya Kat!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	9:52pm Tyler: If any of you want to see Cindy Williams' range as an actress and see her & Harrison Ford cast against their later type, I highly recommend watching Coppolla's 'The Conversation' if you haven't already seen it. Brilliant film. Audio gearheads will also find much to like in it.
	9:52pm DJ Babs: gnite Kat! Thank you for joining!!!

Matt Elliott	January's Song "January's Song" by "Matt Elliott"	The End of Days	Ici D'Ailleurs	2023	Last week, we played Matt Elliott's excellent project 'Third Eye Foundation', in a set of bleak January songs, & mentioned that he also does more intimate work but similarly bleak (though beautifully captivating) music under his own name. The very next day he released "January's Song", as if to prove that he would have the last word on the matter & theme. So that's how we'll start this February non-bleak show. "The end of days" will release on 31th of March 2023... "Matt Elliott sings this infinitely small space, this in-between between intense joy and absolute sorrow, this border between the unspeakable and the shared. Hence this feeling of nervousness, of urgency that runs through each of these compositions. January's Song reminds us how much Matt Elliott builds each of his records as a sequence of musical movements, there is something almost baroque in this second title, something of fin de siècle, something not so far from the formulas of a Santiago De Murcia." Matt Elliott (Bandcamp)	*	0:01:04 (Pop-up)
Kronos Quartet	Marquee Moon "Marquee Moon" by "Kronos Quartet"	Rubáiyát: Elektra's 40th Anniversary	Elektra	1990	R.I.P. "Tom Verlaine (born Thomas Miller; December 13, 1949 – January 28, 2023), an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter, best known as the frontman of the New York City rock band Television." // "The Kronos Quartet is an American string quartet based in San Francisco. It has been in existence with a rotating membership of musicians for almost 50 years. The quartet covers a very broad range of musical genres, including contemporary classical music. More than 900 works have been written for it."		0:06:31 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Television	Marquee Moon "Marquee Moon" by "Television"	Marquee Moon	Elektra	1979	R.I.P. "Tom Verlaine (born Thomas Miller; December 13, 1949 – January 28, 2023), an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter, best known as the frontman of the New York City rock band Television." // "For Marquee Moon, Verlaine and fellow guitarist Richard Lloyd abandoned contemporary punk rock's power chords in favor of rock and jazz-inspired interplay, melodic lines, and counter-melodies. The resulting music is largely hook-driven with complex instrumental parts (particularly on longer tracks such as "Marquee Moon"), while evoking themes of adolescence, discovery, and transcendence through imagery in urban, pastoral, and nocturnal modes, including references to the geography of Lower Manhattan. Influenced by Bohemian and French poetry, Verlaine's lyrics also feature puns and double entendres intended to give the songs an impressionistic quality in describing his perception of an experience."		0:10:40 (Pop-up)
Warmduscher	Whale City "Whale City" by "Warmduscher"	Whale City	The Leaf Label	2018	Consisting of The Saulcano (FWF’s Saul Adamczewski), Mr Salt Fingers Lovecraft (Childhood’s Ben Romans-Hopcraft) and various ex-Fat Whites and members of Paranoid London with equally silly pseudonyms, Warmduscher follow the modus operandi of the entire FWF umbrella corporation. That is, they pick a traditional genre and do everything in their wicked power to leave it a broken, quivering wreck by the time they’re finished with it. Like a grime-funk Sin City, ‘Whale City’ is peopled by a colourful cast of deviants. The title track concerns glamorous junkie Jimmy and bulk-mover Lilly scamming and sleazing their way to the top in this filthy metropolis. Warmduscher offer an ultimately imaginative, fun and thrilling take on rock ‘n’ roll, in an era where music of this ilk can feel so suffocating. Never boring, never dull, this is a glowing, fire-breathin’, thunder-clappin’ ghost train of a band. WE ARE GOING TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT AND I CANNOT WAIT.		0:15:47 (Pop-up)
Hotel Lux	National Team "National Team" by "Hotel Lux"	Hands Across The Creek	The state51 Conspiracy	2023	‘National Team’ is from their forthcoming album Hands Across The Creek, which will be released on January 27th. ‘National Team’ is a football-themed tune, “an ode to the ageing and beautiful game.” Discussing the track, the band said: “The tune was conceived when I was sat watching England’s National Football Team play on the TV whilst tucking into a very sad takeaway, watching people my age and considerably younger winning at life.”	*	0:18:13 (Pop-up)
Immy Owusu	Brown Supremacy "Brown Supremacy" by "Immy Owusu"	Brown Supremacy Single	Hopestreet Recordings	2022	Immanuel Kwabena Dreessens-Owusu grew up in two worlds: the sea bleached lifestyle of Torquay and the Surf Coast with its rock n roll soundtrack, and the musical heritage of his Ghanaian / Dutch family. Immy’s father Kojo is one of Australia’s best regarded West African musicians and his grandfather Koo Nimo is foundational figure of Ghanaian Highlife. On Brown Supremacy, Immy takes Amanzaz loops, and weaves his own songwriting over the top, keeping the iconic riff and the “get together, stay together” hook from the original. He adds chunky kicks and snares, fuzz atmospherics, and ‘Castles Made Of Sand’ reverse delay guitar. Immy says, ‘When I first moved to Torquay, for some kids I was the first ‘black’ person they had ever seen before, and their first experience from any other culture that wasn’t their own. In high school I pushed away from people who looked like me in an attempt to fit into the establishment. How ‘black’ I felt was compounded by how ‘white’ I was treated by my Ghanaian family (in Africa). For me this song is my story about finding a place to belong.’		0:21:45 (Pop-up)
PAINT	Ta Fardah "Ta Fardah" by "PAINT"	Spiritual Vegas	Mexian Summer	2020	Pedrum Siadatian first rose to prominence in psychedelic circles for his guitar and vocal contributions to the astral navigations of mercurial L.A. band Allah-Las, but approaches his solo project Paint with a crystal-clear focus. Spiritual Vegas follows 2018’s eponymous debut, and is full to the brim with lazing psychedelic pop songs and winding guitar melodies. Siadatian’s influences are worn on his sleeve: Kevin Ayers, Felt, Turkish psych, Brian Jonestown Massacre, etc...Ta Fardah’ is sung in Farsi as a nod to Siadatian’s Iranian heritage. Winding psychedelic melodies come thick and fast, showcasing Siadatian’s aptitude as a guitarist as much as a crafter of fantastical ditties....		0:25:48 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Oswald D'Andrea	Sprint Surf "Sprint Surf" by "Oswald D'Andrea"	Bambou Jump/Discong	Berry Music Co. Ltd.	1965	Oswald Antoine Marie d'Andréa is a French pianist and composer of music for film, television and radio. He was born on August 9, 1934 in Tunis. His recorded output varied from pop in the early '60s to jazz and movie soundtracks, one of which—La Vie et Rien d'Autre—won the 1990 César for Best Music.		0:28:26 (Pop-up)

Gina Birch	I Play My Bass Loud "I Play My Bass Loud" by "Gina Birch"	I Play My Bass Loud	Third Man Records	2023	"Legendary post-punk musician, artist, and filmmaker Gina Birch has announced the release of her debut solo album, I Play My Bass Loud, arriving via Third Man Records on Friday, February 24, 2023." " Birch recorded with Youth (Killing Joke, U2, Toots and the Maytals) at his garden shed studio in Wandsworth, England. While many of the album’s songs were fully formed by Birch before the sessions, the two artists teamed up to co-write a number of additional tracks..." “It was a fabulous experience to record at Youth’s in Wandsworth,” says Birch. “Youth likes my passion and my bad guitar playing. I like his attitude, so calm and focused... in a Zen kind of way. We are in fact opposite sides of the same coin.” "I Play My Bass Loud, its declarative title evoking her singular instrumental approach as well as a potent rebuke to how female musicians can be diminutively typecast and ignored. “There’s the whole thing about women playing their music and wanting to be heard, wanting acknowledgment or the space to do it,” Birch says. “The bass is sometimes assigned as a lesser instrument, and yet because of reggae and the creativity of a lot of women players, it has always been a creative and phenomenal instrument.”" The title track features no less than five female bassists, including The Modettes’ Jane Crockford and Emily Elhaj, bassist for Angel Olsen (with whom The Raincoats collaborated in 2016). “I always thought, if I open my big bay window upstairs and play my bass, I’m not some groovy young rapper,” says Birch. “I’m this old white woman playing my bass guitar out of my window. I just want to stick my head out and yell down the street: HELL, I’M HERE, AND I’M PLAYING MY BASS LOUD!” Along with her eclectic musical output, Birch has proven a gifted filmmaker, directing videos for The Raincoats, as well as such like-minded artists as The Libertines, New Order, Beth Orton, and more. In recent years, Birch has committed herself to painting, creating a growing body of work that saw her illustrate a recent book of Sharon Van Etten’s lyrics." This song, as all songs in this set, feature the production work of Martin Glover, AKA Youth... He seems to have been busy lately producing amazing female artists that were at the vanguard of the original punk/post-punk first wave.	*	0:38:52 (Pop-up)
Vivien Goldman	Next Is Now "Next Is Now" by "Vivien Goldman"	Next Is Now	Youth Sounds / Cadiz Entertainment	2021	"Vivien Goldman's substantial role in punk history is firmly cemented by not just her books and music journalism and her work as a "professor of punk" at New York University, but also by her musical output as part of art pop collective the Flying Lizards and her solo recordings. Goldman's dubby and danceable 1981 single "Launderette" ranks as a post-punk essential, the kind of strange and inventive track that somehow manages to feel perpetually new as years go on. Arriving just about 40 years later, Next Is Now, Goldman's first solo music in decades, holds elements of the same excitement and studio exploration that she excelled at in the late '70s and early '80s. The echo-drenched vocals, deep bass lines, and digital horn lines of tracks like "Russian Doll" and "Saturday Afternoon" replicate the meeting of dub-informed production and rough-edged punk that defined her best early tracks. Along with producer Youth, Goldman dabbles in various styles throughout the course of Next Is Now"		0:43:11 (Pop-up)
Brix Smith	Fast Net "Fast Net" by "Brix Smith"	Valley Of The Dolls	Grit Over Glamour	2023	"The Fall veteran Brix Smith has revealed plans to release a solo album called ‘Valley Of The Dolls’, as well as sharing details of an all-female live supergroup featuring members of My Bloody Valentine." "The punk legend, known for her work with The Fall as well as her own band The Extricated among others, was speaking at the AIF Festival Congress 2022 in Bristol earlier this week to discuss her work as as President of The F-List For Music – a not-for-profit organisation set up to help female musicians gain greater representation and professional opportunities in the UK music industry. Towards the end of her talk, Smith shared information about an upcoming record made with Killing Joke bassist and esteemed producer Youth. “Nobody knows about this in public, so hello – get ready,” she began. “During lockdown I was put together by a manager to write. I wanted to stop doing The Extricated, I wanted to do something else, I didn’t know what. “I was put together as a songwriter with Youth. His manager said, ‘Youth is a Shaman and you’re a witch so you two are perfect together’. We’d never met before but we met on Facetime and we started to send files backwards and forwards.” With Youth working from Spain and Smith in London, he would send her backing tracks while she would return lyrics and vocals before it “quickly developed into something special”. “He said, ‘Brix – this is your solo album. This is not going to be for anyone else’,” said Smith. “Now I’ve finished the album with Youth, it’s just about to be mastered, we’ve got two amazing guest female vocalists on it.” Smith also went on to tell the Bristol crowd that the album would be called ‘Valley Of The Dolls’ and “will hopefully be out by the end of the year and hopefully singles will be dropping quite soon.” Discussing plans to tour the project, Smith explained how she “decided to put together an all-female band”. “This is the announcement: I’m going out on the road with an all-female band,” she revealed. “Two of them are from My Bloody Valentine. I’ve got Deb Googe on bass and Jen Marco on keys and guitar. Then I have two other women from a duo that you may have heard of called from Deux Furieuses. They’re a mixture of Savages and Royal Blood and they’re called Vas and Ros.” She added: “I’m going under the name Brix Smith or possibly Brix Smith Group, I haven’t decided yet. It’s time for me to put my money where my mouth is and take it out there! All of us are between 40 and 60 and they’re all top post-punk feminists.” Smith went on to explain how “the dynamic of playing with all women” was “something I’ve never done”. “I’ve always been a woman in a man’s world,” she added. “The Fall were dirty, ugly blokes, you know? The dynamic of playing with these women is just phenomenal. It’s just nice to be hanging out with great like-minded people." She has also been quoted as saying “I’ve put together the motherfucker of all girl bands.”	*	0:47:03 (Pop-up)
Poly Styrene	I Luv Ur Sneakers "I Luv Ur Sneakers" by "Poly Styrene"	Generation Indigo	Future Noise Music Ltd.	2011	Said Poly Styrene about her (final) album: ""It's an upbeat album. I wanted to put something positive out there. We need to get back to love and light and stop fighting over resources." Killing Joke's Youth produced Generation Indigo at his studio in Spain after hearing and loving Poly's new output - and by all accounts, having Youth at the helm is always a demanding, highly productive, process, which often involves writing new songs every day. No sitting around drinking tea and noodling at this particular studio... "I came to him with 15 songs, not all of which ended up on the album of course, but he told me to go back to my hotel and write five more," explains Poly. "Some of them didn't have enough hooks so I needed to work on that too. He can be quite tough but it was a good experience. Youth brought a lot of new elements into it." The title, Generation Indigo, was inspired by Indigo Children, "the generation my daughter was born into, a generation that can change things""		0:50:12 (Pop-up)
Essential Logic	Land Of Kali (Full Version)	Land Of Kali	Hiss And Shake	2022	It was such a fantastic surprise to see the birth of a new Essential Logic full length last year! The Land of Kali (co-produced by Youth), is the first new Essential Logic studio album in 43 years. Laura Logic says of Youth: "He is an awesome magician and very in tune to different levels of reality. I was pleasantly surprised when I knocked on his door for the first time with a few sketches of songs. His house was full of beautiful old paintings of Radna Krishna, Indian instruments, deities of Buddha, Ganesh, Jesus, temple bells... I had no idea we would have so much in common! He had also lived in India and recorded monks for weeks on end in a Buddhist monastery and visited ancient temples there. We both share a love for the real India. Despite the limitations of working through lockdown, we had some wonderful esoteric chats on the occasions when we met up for recording and mixing..."	*	0:54:01 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Siouxise & The Banshees	Kiss Them For Me (Kathak Mix #1)	Superstition [Deluxe version]	Polydor	1991	"The song presented a change in musical direction for Siouxsie and the Banshees, adopting a much more straightforward pop-oriented feel than previous efforts, due in part to Hague's production work. Siouxsie Sioux's cryptic lyrics were an ode to actress and sex symbol Jayne Mansfield.The lyrics use Mansfield's catchword "divoon", referring to her heart-shaped swimming pool and her love of champagne and parties, and to the car crash that killed her in 1967. Kiss Them for Me was also the name of a 20th Century Fox motion picture made in 1957 starring Mansfield and Cary Grant." "The "Kathak Mix", remixed by producer Youth, features spoken samples of Robert Anton Wilson in the introduction."		1:00:43 (Pop-up)
Hot Chip	Over and Over "Over and Over" by "Hot Chip"	The Warning	Domino	2006	I love this song. I LOVE THIS SONG. A rhapsodic, DFA-sized slice of smart pop that sauces about like George Galloway in a ‘Sheba’ factory, here’s where Hot Chip get clever enough to dispense with those honky Prince-isms, and replaced them with a James Murphy strut and addictive hooks. And yet it’s a charmingly British thrill – you suspect that what sounds like a muted cowbell here is actually someone hitting a kettle with a stick, plus there’s an arch lyricism to lines such as, “Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal/The smell of repetition really is in you” and nudge-nudge humour when it all goes Kraftwerk in the middle and a robot intones “K.I.S.S.I.N.G.S.E.X.I.N.G./C.A.S.I.O.P.O.K.E.” for no apparent reason. Electro-suave. Fuck, I miss 2006.		1:15:24 (Pop-up)
Buffalo Daughter	Socks, Drugs And Rock 'n' Roll	New Rock	Buffalo Ranch	1998	This is one of those wonderful songs that in no way, shape or form sounds 25 years old. Buffalo Daughter is considered to be the linchpin of the so-called "cut-and-paste" rock Shibuya-kei movement from Japan. In a 1998 interview, the group explained that "Buffalo" projects a pleasing image of American culture and countryside and at the time of the group's original formation, all the members were girls, so "Daughter" was appropriate.		1:21:18 (Pop-up)
Josef K	Fun N' Frenzy "Fun N' Frenzy" by "Josef K"	The Only Fun In Town	Postcard Records	1981	The band was formed in 1979 originally as TV Art by Paul Haig (vocals, guitar) and Ronnie Torrance (drums), later joined by Malcolm Ross (guitar, keyboards), with Gary McCormack added on bass guitar, who soon left (later joining The Exploited) with David Weddell replacing him. They disliked the name and were inspired to change it when they were asked at the last minute to open for the Clash at the Odeon on January 20, 1980 after the original opener dropped out. They recorded their debut album and immediately shelved it for sounding "too polished", then returned to the studio in Belgium to record The Only Fun in Town, opting for a more 'live' sound and recording the whole album in two days, Haig later expressing a measure of regret that "we decided to make an almost unlistenable record with the vocals mixed down really low". They split shortly after in 1982 with Haig going solo, and other members ending up in Orange Juice, Blancmange, Aztec Camera and other bands of note...		1:24:32 (Pop-up)
Lora Logic & Essential Logic	Hiss and Shake	Pedigree Charm / Logically Yours Essential Logic Boxset	Hiss And Shake Records	1981 / 2022	Derek Bought this boxset and WHOOOWEEE IS IT GREAT. It's all the logic you need and want...Pedigree Charm remains a great forgotten album of the era. A little more controlled than her debut, Pedigree Charm never disappoints. If your ears have been opened wide by Beat Rhythm News, than denying yourself the many pleasures of this recording is senseless. SENSELESS AND WITHOUT LOGIC.		1:26:28 (Pop-up)

Italia 90	Magdalene "Magdalene" by "Italia 90"	Living Human Treasure	Brace Yourself Records	2023	First full-length from London, UK quartet, released Jan 18, 2023. "Living Human Treasure was recorded at the residential Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne. With five days booked the whole album was tracked within two days with producer Louis Milburn. For the rest of the allotted time, they explored the nooks and crannies of the building and the bounty of unusual instruments lying around to add mystical textures to the bones of the music. From the album...The abuse of women in the Magdalene laundries is directly addressed (on the third) track. The disdain expressed against the Irish Catholic church is literally spat out: // “Magdalene, Magdalene, Magdalene, Magdalene the killer, // Magdalene, Magdalene, Magdalene, Magdalene the killer” // As is befitting the subject matter it’s loud and repetitive, as if attempting to ensure all are aware of such an atrocity and that the victims should never be forgotten. Italia 90 use their music to make strong statements on social injustice, as well as commentary on the state of the nation. It is strong, opiniated and at times uncomfortable. In this case the unacceptable consequences of this institution is highlighted, and that is a power in itself." (Partial quote from "God Is In The TV" 'zine/site) Italia 90 (Bandcamp) ///////// Italia 90 (Magdelene Video [official]) //////// ------ "The Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, also known as Magdalene asylums, were institutions usually run by Roman Catholic orders, which operated from the 18th to the late 20th centuries. They were run ostensibly to house "fallen women", an estimated 30,000 of whom were confined in these institutions in Ireland. In 1993, unmarked graves of 155 women were uncovered in the convent grounds of one of the laundries. This led to media revelations about the operations of the secretive institutions. A formal state apology was issued in 2013, and a £50 million compensation scheme for survivors was set up by the Irish Government. The religious orders which operated the laundries have rejected activist demands that they financially contribute to this programme"	*	1:47:49 (Pop-up)
Pixies	Magdalena 318 "Magdalena 318" by "Pixies"	Indie Cindy	Pixies Music	2014	"Indie Cindy is the fifth studio album by the American alternative rock band the Pixies. Released in April 2014, it was the band's first album since 1991's Trompe le Monde, and the first Pixies album not to feature bass guitar player Kim Deal. Instead, bass guitar duties on the album are handled by Simon "Ding" Archer, a former member of the British post-punk band The Fall. The album combines all the songs from the band's 2013–14 extended play releases—EP1, EP2, and EP3—which were recorded and produced in 2012 by Gil Norton, who produced the band's previous albums Doolittle, Bossanova, and Trompe le Monde."		1:51:03 (Pop-up)

Decius, Lias Saoudi, Douglas Lucas	Roberto's Tumescence	Roberto's Tumescence Single	The Leaf Label	2023	Tumescence is defined as "the quality of being swollen, or a swollen part of the body, especially caused by sexual excitement" It is an extremely salacious word. And Decius, and Lias Saoudi are indeed, salacious. Decius is when members of Trashmouth Records, Fat White Family & Paranoid London find themselves climbing out of a hole together at a disco after hours. Other than canonisation, we have no plans for the future. 'Roberto's Tumescence', the fourth and final single from the now seminal 'Decius Vol. I' is here for you NOW.

Robert Wyatt	Pigs... (In There) "Pigs... (In There)" by "Robert Wyatt"	EP's	Domino	1999	A founding member of the influential Canterbury scene bands Soft Machine and Matching Mole, he was initially a kit drummer and singer before becoming paraplegic following an accidental fall from a window in 1973, which led him to abandon band work, explore other instruments, and begin a forty-year solo career. A key player during the formative years of British jazz fusion, psychedelia and progressive rock, Wyatt's own work became increasingly interpretative, collaborative and politicised from the mid-1970s onwards. His solo music has covered a particularly individual musical terrain ranging from covers of pop singles to shifting, amorphous song collections drawing on elements of jazz, folk and nursery rhyme. Wyatt retired from his music career in 2014, stating "there is a pride in stopping, I don't want the music to go off."		2:03:13 (Pop-up)

	8:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ ultradamno @8:16 What the what..? It sounds like something that SHOULD exist, but sadly it apparently does not. make it happen, Devo!
	8:34pm Zipperhead7: Hi Babs and Derek! My major discovery this year to date was that OCS track you played awhile back. I had NO IDEA Dwyer and Co. were such a fire-breathing monster live! Been watching their live stuff on the 'Tube and it's amazing. Funny to see him swig a water bottle while the drummers are pounding away. It's almost sadistic
	8:35pm ultradamno: ↳ Mr Fab @8:32 Part of why I'm certain it does is I distinctly remember a review that said their version "lacked the menace of the original"
	8:38pm ultradamno: It might be this (it's certainly the graphic that was in my head) www.discogs.com...
	8:41pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Mr Fab and Zipperhead!
	8:42pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "I Play My Bass Loud" by "Gina Birch" This track . . . be still, my heart!!
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:34 Ah Zipperhead I;m so glad you enjoyed that track. Oh HELL yes, Dwyer hops about like a little possessed imp lol Their live shows are BLISTERING. I think we've lost track of how many times we've seen them! A show never to be missed!
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:34 Zipperhead, that's an excellent discovery... Love OhSees / Thee Oh Sees, etc. so so much & have been very lucky to see them live on more than one occasion. Definitely not to be missed!
	8:43pm Tyler: Love the flow on this song. Like waves lapping against a dock...
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:42 Also the video for this is utterly absolutely charming!
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: The video is definitely super fun!
	8:43pm DJ Babs: Send this song to your favourite bass player!!!
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Five female bassists on this track! Five!
	8:44pm ultradamno: Huh, thing on You Tube says Vic Mizzy ...though Daniel Johnston's Casper is on it so it seems like it wouldn't be the original...
	8:45pm ultradamno: Yeah, what's on You Tube is def the original...
	8:45pm Alli B: Beautiful flow
	8:47pm Tyler: 'Allo Alli & 'Ullo Ultradamno!
	8:47pm laurapanic: Gina Birch and Vivien Goldman - lifting up women who truly contributed deeply to my musical heritage and need to be amplified to musical nerds everywhere.
	8:49pm ultradamno: Hiya Tyler!
	8:49pm Feldy: Hello Babs and Derek!
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:47 Laura, 100%!
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: Hello AlliB!
	8:49pm Tyler: ↳ laurapanic @8:47 All it takes is a listen to convert. But we should keep them away from the Beardo's :)
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Feldy!
	8:49pm DJ Babs: Agreed Laura. Also it is fucking amazing to hear women "of a certain age" making such amazing amazing music still to this day!!!
	8:50pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Feldy!! Nice to see ya!!!
	8:52pm Zipperhead7: jeez y'all are on a serous roll!!!
	8:52pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Fab, btw!
	🏝 8:52pm Kat in Chicago: Enjoying the femme set
	8:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kat in Chicago @8:52 Thanks Kat, I very much enjoyed putting it together! Weird that production by Youth was the common thread for all these songs. Fell a bit down that rabbit hole, but wanted to keep it femme for the artists.
	8:56pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:52 Damn right when we rock we roll! lol
	8:56pm DJ Babs: I would definitely say that I would enjoy dancing around the flames to this with my witchy sisters!
	8:57pm ultradamno: Making me think we're due for a sophomore Slum Of Legs album
	8:57pm Tyler: This has the feel like when the 3rd tequila shot kicks in...
	8:58pm laurapanic: this set is great
	8:58pm DJ Babs: heheheh! I agree Tyler and thank you so much so glad you're enjoying the set!!!We aim to please!
	8:59pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:52 Aww, thanks Zipperhead... Youth seems to be on a roll! Excellent first-wave D.I.Y. (post)punk females are on a roll! It's a resurgence! It's a renaissance!
	8:59pm Zipperhead7: ↳ laurapanic @8:58 yes this is an incredible set! So glad to catch it in realtime
	9:00pm laurapanic: I have a online work meeting now. I'm gonna try to make go quick as possible!!! Darn it!
	9:00pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:58 Wonderful as always. It's rare for me to hear music I haven't heard before that I also like. You & Derek always deliver. I'm getting the uncontrollable urge to dance.
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: These artists are fantastic! Glad we're all enjoying them together!
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: Have a good meeting, Laura!
	9:00pm Feldy: Digging these a lot

	9:02pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @9:00 Cheers Laura!!!
	9:02pm ultradamno: Don't forget it's 5hrs 57min from BC Friday isitbandcampfriday.com
	9:02pm Tyler: Siouxsie!
	9:04pm Feldy: I’m compiling music for a work conference, even though the senior team will ask for what they think is hip (Skrillex) so maybe I can pull some bangers from this show
	🏝 9:06pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Feldy @9:04 Skrillex??? 🙄
	9:07pm Feldy: @Kat I know! Revolting
	9:08pm ultradamno: It was, I remember it coming out almost concurrently with her revealing her cancer diagnosis and death shortly thereafter.
	🏝 9:09pm Kat in Chicago: That Brix tune was sassy
	9:10pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:09 I kept thinking of skynet...but quicker
	9:12pm ultradamno: Her being a witch means she can't climb these stairs. twitter.com...
	9:13pm Tyler: <3 The Flying Lizards!
	🏝 9:15pm Kat in Chicago: yeah I want to see that video
	🏝 9:16pm Kat in Chicago: Oh this is one of my favorites. The joy of repetition always is in me
	9:18pm Alli B: Such a fun song to dance to
	🏝 9:18pm Kat in Chicago: Saw Hot Chip live probably three times over a couple of years? Super good live band.
	9:18pm DJ Babs: ↳ Feldy @9:04 Lol Feldy for sure...because Skrillex is so no longer hip...lol tho I am not sure if we are either...that being said, I do identify as a proto hipster. This tune is hip as hell I feel. Always have. I do cut a serious rug to this one in the club...
	9:19pm DJ Babs: oh they are so good. Their second record I think is absolutely my favourite...
	🏝 9:19pm Kat in Chicago: I did a radio show with a repetition theme and this was definitely played
	9:20pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:18 These days you might be able to get Skrillex to perform in person at your company event, Feldy :)
	9:20pm DJ Babs: I wouild definitely qualify this as a banger.
	9:20pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:20 Lol Tyler troo how the mighty have fallen...and they thought dubstep would last forever!! LOL
	🏝 9:20pm Kat in Chicago: 100%
	9:21pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:20 Banger & Mash!
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Tho I have an mp3 of a dubstep version of Duran Duran's Rio remixed dubstep style and it's fucking FIRE lol. Hilarious fire, but fire.
	9:21pm laurapanic: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:19 A band called Brandy has a record called The Gift of Repetition. From 2020 and I loved it.
	9:22pm laurapanic: wooohoooo I'm back thank goodness

	9:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @9:32 Hey! I know them!!!
	9:33pm Tyler: Awww... Babs! You've broken out the workout music! :)
	9:34pm Tyler: Was it you that was playing the Guy LaFleur Disco album?
	🏝 9:34pm Kat in Chicago: I remember 20 Minute Workout, can't say I exercised along tho
	9:34pm laurapanic: Hi Mike Rogers!!!!
	9:36pm Zipperhead7: My favorite exercise program was called "Sit and Be Fit," where you could roll on the balls of your feet, flex your hindquarters and stuff like that
	9:36pm Tyler: There's an hilarious episode of 'Young Drunk Punk' in which all the men in town suddenly become interested in aerobics when the '20 Minute Workout' starts airing :)
	9:37pm ultradamno: Unlistenable? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
	9:38pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:36 Tyler, that sounds fantastic... I don't know 'Young Drunk Punk'...
	9:38pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:37 Ultra, good for you! Haha.
	9:38pm Tyler: Josef K managed to record a lot of material in their short time. Though they only put out 1 album, I have a collection that has about 3 albums worth of material on it.
	9:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:33 Aww, Mike, that's awesome that you know Buffalo Daughter, we were just talking about how timeless that song sounded in today's terms.
	9:39pm ultradamno: Speaking of Exploited, I guess their singer had a heart attack onstage. I think he's OK now...but that where punk rock is now.
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:38 Tyler, yes, "Entomology", correct? So much excellent stuff on it!
	9:41pm ultradamno: I90!!!
	9:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @9:34 Hi Laura san!
	9:42pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:41 Yes, exactly! Well worth getting even if you have 'The Only Fun In Town'.
	9:42pm ultradamno: ^^^That really makes it seem like I'm super excited about an interstate highway
	9:43pm Tyler: I saw Suicide at the Knitting Factory in New York. Life changing show!
	9:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Tyler @9:43 wow!!

	9:45pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Magdalena (Live at Rockpalast 1982)" by "Alan Vega" Vega came up in my conceptual recasting of Laverne & Shirley in late '70s NYC twitter.com...
	9:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:36 omg I need to learn how to sit and get fit!!!!!
	9:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:39 oh jesus! I guess if you are gonna have a heart attack on stage is as good a place as any...maybe except a hospital...
	9:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 Awww I WAS gonna play laverne and shirley tho this week. I will play next week! I have their album lol.
	9:47pm DJ Babs: I SHOULD HAVE PLAYED IT IN THE AND SET!!!
	9:47pm DJ Babs: DOH
	9:47pm Feldy: LOL @Tyler then I would have to have noise canceling headphones so I couldn’t hear it
	9:48pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:46 The grimmer version was Eric Dolphy falling into a diabetic coma onstage and ultimately dying, in part because doctors assumed he was a junkie (he was actually a rare jazz guy who stayed sober) and deprioritized him...
	9:49pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:45 Bien sur! I thought it was you. The Youtube clips of that & his 70's talk show are pretty hilarious :)
	🏝 9:50pm Kat in Chicago: Have to bounce in a few, thanks Babs 'n' Derek!

	9:52pm Tyler: If any of you want to see Cindy Williams' range as an actress and see her & Harrison Ford cast against their later type, I highly recommend watching Coppolla's 'The Conversation' if you haven't already seen it. Brilliant film. Audio gearheads will also find much to like in it.
