Yellow Magic Orchestra	Tighten Up	Multiplies	Alfa Music	1980	Archie Bell & the Drells’ 1968 classic “Tighten Up” was always one of the more idiosyncratic US #1 hits. A funky soul number based on a percolating bass line and choppy two-note guitar rifff, the song simply featured Bell commanding his pledges through various musical directions (most of them tightening-up-related) for three-plus minutes of entirely verse-less and chorus-less bliss-out groove. Perhaps this would explain the logic behind it being selected for covering by easily one of the most idiosyncratic acts of the rock era, Yellow Magic Orchestra. That said, the thing is still basically totally nuts. If anything, playing the song so close to the vest makes the entire experience more perverse, as it allows memories of the original to linger fresh, even as it turns the song’s general intentions inside out. The easygoing, almost floating groove of the Drells’ version is replaced with a decidedly nervy and manic (although not necessarily any less funky) energy, and Takahashi’s crazed instructional exhortations (occasionally delivered in what must be intentionally cartoony Engrish) make Bell’s traffic-directing sound practically catatonic by comparison. And more distance is put between original and cover with each thoroughly erroneous pleading of “JAPANESE GENTLEMAN, STAND UP PUH-LEAZE!!!!” (intoned both in Takahashi’s traditional gutteral wailing, and in a far more disconcerting echo-y bellow from an unclear source). If there’s reasoning behind it, I’m not sure I want to know about it–I can’t really imagine a more appropriately inappropriate recurring phrase to give the song it’s necessary punctuation. Little of this would suggest that the band would necessarily be a good fit for that standardized bedrock of American R&B TV programming, Soul Train. Nonetheless, the programmers evidently saw them as a good fit for the show, and invited the whole crew over to play “Tighten Up” on set, in what probably rivals Public Image Ltd.’s infamous appearance on American Bandstand as the most sheerly unlikely underground-meets-mainstream moment of the New Wave era.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Ryuichi Sakamoto	Riot In Lagos "Riot In Lagos" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto"	B-2 Unit	Alfa	1980	Contrasting with the pop-oriented works Sakamoto was doing with YMO at the time, B-2 Unit was produced with a focus on sounds and tones rather than traditional song strucutres. B-2 Unit has proven to be very much ahead of its time and extremely influential in the development of electronic music. ""Riot In Lagos,"" in particular, is often cited as the blueprint for electro/techno sounds that would rise to prominence in the ensuing decade.		0:03:48 (Pop-up)
Guadal Tejaz	Krautoxic "Krautoxic" by "Guadal Tejaz"	Noche Triste	Creme Brule	2022	Fascinated by Mesoamerican culture, Guadal Tejaz has decanted its psychedelic garage rock to keep only a powerful krautrock precipitate with a taste of mezcal on this second album. Heavy, intense, sharp, crossed by larsens and electric drones, its post-punk with toxic effluences struggles in a dark, bilious and worrying noise mud. In the middle of this black and dirty mass, ordered by the bass-drums duo, emerges the violently inhabited voice of the singer and guitarist Morgan. The group reveals us its recipe of Chili Con Carnage for 4 persons: – 500g of krautrock – 200g of noise – a good chopped punk – 175g of peeled fuzz – 66 tbsp of Guadal sauce (muy picoso!) Then just fry it all in lots of fat, sprinkle with peyote and it’s ready!		0:08:17 (Pop-up)
Astéréotypie	Du Velo A Saint Melo du Kayak A St. Briac	No guy looks like Brad Pitt in Drôme	Air Rytmo	2022	“No guy looks like Brad Pitt in the Drôme… Real life is annoying! ". These are the words of Claire Ottaway, the new recruit of Astereotypie, an energetic post-punk band sometimes drawing on garage-rock or noisy. Born in 2010 within a medico-educational institute, this (d)astonishing group returns with a third album made of atypical texts and lunar phrasings which magnetize the ear and embark us on an expedition of high emotional intensity. Coming across the Astereotypie collective is shocking. It makes the legs move when it takes off, it dislocates the arms with each scansion or break in tempo, it makes the vocal cords howl in chorus and it shatters the preconceived notions if there's anything left.		0:10:57 (Pop-up)
Baston	Flash "Flash" by "Baston"	La Martyre	Baston	2022	After their debut album 'Primates', released in 2019, Baston presents their follow-up 'La Martyre'. The titles of the eight songs all refer to nightclubs in northern Finistère in Brittany, France. Far from the sunny garage pop debut, Baston continues to dig the furrow of cold, hypnotic and haunting music, moving skilfully between German psychedelia, current English post-punk and new wave, easily dodging the pitfall of the stylistic exercise to impose an album of its own.		0:13:16 (Pop-up)
Bodega	Domesticated Animal "Domesticated Animal" by "Bodega"	Shiny New Model	What's Your Rupture?	2019	BODEGA have always gone against the grain: Their insane attention to detail and deliberate aesthetic represents the antithesis of slacker rock and bedroom pop trends. From their harsh Parquet Courts-meets-Gang of Four-meets-Television take on post-punk and art-rock to co-lead singers Ben Hozie and Nikki Belfiglio’s combative stage personas, every move, every lyric and every sound you hear is extremely calculated. They rage against the machine quite literally—so much of their material references the negative aspects of modern technology and late-stage capitalism—and with only a few exceptions, their instrumentals follow suit, mimicking the dystopian lyrics and Hozie’s monotone shouts to paint a pretty bleak look at the world.		0:16:58 (Pop-up)
Balladur	Kula Lumping "Kula Lumping" by "Balladur"	La vallée Etroite	Le Turc Mecanique	2019	Since its beginnings, Balladur has taken pleasure in confusing, losing and then rediscovering its listeners who quickly understood that comfort and repetition were not part of its DNA. From Villeurbanne, Amédée de Murcia and Romain de Ferron serve a very free and very beautiful register, between guitars and machines, with the aim of remaining in a state of perpetual change. Abandoning their old skins on the side of the roads, concert halls and squats, the duo improves as much as they disturb a formula played in the center of the public, on the floor, for a face to face aimed only at sharing and communion as the audience becomes intoxicated with dozens of references scattered throughout the pieces.		0:18:36 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Ryuichi Sakamoto	E-3A "E-3A" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto"	B-2 Unit	Alfa	1980	"Conceptually, I am open to mistakes - errors, actually. I do play lots of wrong notes while I am making some music, and a mistake or a wrong note is like a gift for me: 'Oh, wow, an unknown sound or an unknown harmony. I didn't know about this." Ryuichi Sakamoto		0:22:32 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Ryuichi Sakamoto	Monster Cry "Monster Cry" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto"	Exception OST	Netflix Music	2022	"An artist's initial broad stroke is always most impactful, and obsessively adding layer upon layer of paint to fill in details often diminishes the painting's aura. When an aura is lost, it is impossible to get back." Ryuichi Sakamoto		0:27:14 (Pop-up)
Thee U.F.O.	Fraud On The Court "Fraud On The Court" by "Thee U.F.O."	Ponderous Fug	Gelatinous Records	2022	From Dublin, Ireland. "Thee U.F.O seem to be some sort of gamma radiated organism captained by chief DäH who emits various noise frequencies and echos, first mate Bëth often uses singing sirens and metal discs to communicate. They are partnered with two hands who are the bombastic rhythm machines that propel the organism along." Thee U.F.O. (Bandcamp)		0:32:53 (Pop-up)
Thee Oh Sees	Devil Again - Live "Devil Again - Live" by "Thee Oh Sees"	Devil Again (Live at Levitation)	The Reverberation Appreciation Society	2012 / 2023	"Apr 4, 2023 Buy on Vinyl: https://levitation.fm/osees/ Back in 2012, Thee Oh Sees made their first appearance at Austin Psych Fest, performing an electrified set at Emo's East. The first of the band's many LEVITATION appearances down in Austin, this show has been revisited for a new series of vinyl releases, Live at LEVITATION, immortalizing it on glorious 12" colored wax, mixed by John Dwyer and mastered for vinyl by JJ Golden. Speaking on the appearance commemorated with this physical release, Dwyer wrote: "I think this was our first time at levitation but our millionth time in the amazing and tough as nails city of Austin, Texas. Brigid Dawson, Mike Shoun, Petey D and myself had already laid the live show out in front of crowds here, so it wasn't our first rodeo and certainly not my last. Our love is obvious here as we bring forth a short but sweet set of hits and deep cuts. This is also the version of the band with Lars 'Fingers' Finberg of Intelligence fame as second banana drummer. So enjoy some primal and sensual double drumming and as a side note, no one died at this show. Thanks as always to Levitation for making shit happen." The artists and sets showcased on Live at LEVITATION have been chosen from over a decade of recordings at the world-renowned event, and document key artists in the scene performing for a crowd of their peers and fans who gather at LEVITATION annually from all over the world. This 8th release follows Live at LEVITATION releases from Kikagaku Moyo, The Black Angels, Primal Scream, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Moon Duo, Psychic Ills, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Thee Oh Sees - Live at LEVITATION is out in stores on Friday, May 19, 2023. It is available for pre-order now. "	*	0:34:34 (Pop-up)
Priors	Daffodil "Daffodil" by "Priors"	Daffodil	Mothland Records	2023	"Montreal-based punks PRIORS have announced that they will be releasing a new album. It is called Daffodil and will be out June 2 via Mothland. The band has also released a video for the title track which was directed by Studio Del Scorpio. PRIORS released their EP NEWNEWNEW in 2022 and their album My Punishment on Earth in 2019." -- "Daffodil – the seventh release and fourth full-length since 2017 from prolific outfit PRIORS (Montréal, QC) – delivers on all counts, spewing an absolute onslaught of manic, yet witty punk. Singer-songwriter Chance Hutchison stares deep into his blind spot, offering spunk-fueled spittings gift-wrapped within melodic rock & roll that threatens to leave an emotional mark. From the onset, this collection of genuine songs tight-ropes both “vintage” and “modern” gusts of sonic winds amidst a headbanging storm of blood, sweat and tears."

BNNY	Time Walk "Time Walk" by "BNNY"	Everything	Fire Talk	2021	"Bnny is an American indie rock band consisting of Jessica Viscius, Alexa Viscius, Tim Makowski, Adam Schubert, and Matt Pelkey. Originally a solo project of Jessica's named Bunny, Viscius released a couple of singles in 2017 before releasing her debut EP, Sucker the same year. They released their first full-length album, Everything, in 2021. In 2017, Jessica, also known as Jess, Viscius formed a musical solo project called Bunny. She came up with the name after purchasing a vintage patch with a red bunny on it. Bunny had been preparing to tour and release an EP when Viscius' partner Trey Gruber died. Viscius moved away from the initially EP and recorded new music at Public House in Chicago. Bnny's debut EP, Sucker, was released in 2017. Tim Makowski, Matt Pelkey, and Jessica's twin sister, Alexa Viscius, joined the band and changed the name to Bnny. Adam Schubert joined later. Jess Viscius sings and is the group's primary songwriter. Alexa Viscius is the band's bassist. Schubert and Makowski play guitar while Pelkey is the group's drummer."		0:40:04 (Pop-up)
Sonic Jesus	Drift 22 "Drift 22" by "Sonic Jesus"	Neither Virtue nor Anger	Fuzz Club Records	2015	Generally, songs by this band are Written and performed by Tiziano Veronese with lyrics written by Marco Baldassari. This Track, though, features drums and lyrics by Simone Russo. "Sonic Jesus is the musical project led by Tiziano Veronese since 2012. Internationally acclaimed since the very beginning, thanks to the instantly sold-out debut on Fuzz Club Records (Sonic Jesus EP, 2012) and a cult split featuring the Black Angels (Split Single N°5, 2014), he took part to the Reverb Conspiracy twice, the Cosmosis Festival (featuring the Jesus & Mary Chain), the Eindhoven Psych Lab and the Reverence Festival. During the years Sonic Jesus performed live throughout Europe and shared stages with Damo Suzuki, Dead Skeletons, A Place To Bury Strangers and Singapore Sling for whom he opened the European leg of his tour. The long-awaited first double LP Neither Virtue, Nor Anger (Fuzz Club Records, 2015), completely self-recorded and produced, confirms his own skills to renovate and transcend genres and forms, all condensed in an impressive masterwork."		0:41:40 (Pop-up)

The WAEVE	On Your Knees, Baby "On Your Knees, Baby" by "The WAEVE"	The WAEVE (Deluxe)	Transgressive Records	2023	Deluxe version released March 27, 2023. This song is one of the Deluxe ones. "“Then, one day in very early January we found ourselves slipping and sliding around Hampstead Heath in the mud, with the low-lying sun blinding us as we talked about ourselves and our lives. Something about Rose’s good humour and bright mischief made me feel a certain kinship toward her. “Within a week we were recording. Our work was exploratory. Two people asked questions of each other, and as a consequence the void became less yawning. Music was created, and these two voices in the songs became two people: Rose and I.” “Rose” is Rose Elinor Dougall, an indie-pop staple formerly of the Pipettes fame, with three solo albums released between 2010 and 2019. “I” is Graham Coxon, the indie, lo-fi side of Blur – among many other projects – writing about his newest music outlet, the Waeve, in his recent memoir, Verse, Chorus, Monster!. A new musical adventure deemed redeeming in light of the 2020 lockdown and subsequent social and human bewilderment However, the duo’s self-titled debut is as far as possible from the covid-core tide that submerged the past couple of years’ music releases. It began as a remote exchange but quickly evolved into a close, in-person, personal and professional acquaintance. They discovered their mutual love for folk music and shared musings on their rough love for British cultural identity. They soon found themselves in Coxon’s home studio, with a finished album. The Waeve was born."		0:47:41 (Pop-up)

"Lead singer Zac Lawrence comments: “Are we slowly but surely being tacitly tempted into a culture of casual betrayal?

Music behind DJ: Ryuichi Sakamoto	20220207 "20220207" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto"	12	KAB America	2013	"Ryuichi Sakamoto wrote and produced his 15th [...and final...] studio album, 12, during a year-long recovery from cancer treatment. It’s a starkly intimate affair where, on some songs, the Japanese composer and pianist’s heavy breathing can clearly be heard in the mix, a conscious decision that underscores the corporal cost of his current musical efforts. Sakamoto has likened 12 to a diary of sorts, with each of the album’s dozen minimalist tracks named after the day on which they were recorded. Its ever-shifting tenor and timbre mirrors the traditional grieving process, starting with a heightened sense of isolation from the outside world that eventually develops into feelings of frustration, agony, and, finally, acceptance. Opening with the numbing sounds of Sakamoto’s sorrowful synthesizers before moving into more densely layered and foreboding arrangements—which reach a near-breaking point on “20220202,” the album’s fifth track—the listener can actively trace the composer’s fraught headspace as he comes to terms with his mortality. The compositions themselves are simple enough, serving to primarily function as walls of sound for Sakamoto to, as he says in the press notes, “shower” himself in. But their extreme clarity and stark tonalities provide a truly transcendent experience for those willing to indulge in their gorgeously austere textures."	*	0:53:42 (Pop-up)

It's impossible to pin down or classify, but you'll dance like your inner-stoner was set free into a tropical tiki party where the punks are all hanging out with the masters of reggae and dub, but everyone's having a good time. Their first LP, Morbido, contains an amazing mix of feeling and aesthetics that will instantly appeal to fans of early Rough Trade records, Trojan box sets, or modern Glue Wave French punks.		1:10:45 (Pop-up)

Lead single “The Punisher” is everything you might expect from a band like this: nervy, tangled, squalling, and also very good. “They’ve got good news, it’s so sick living in a fanfic,” goes the hook. “They’ve got good news, there’s new life springing from a death cult.”....It hits all the boxes of what this band can do: it’s goofy, but there’s a lot of intricate guitar interplay, and at the end, there’s a big payoff,” the band’s Greg Obis said. “It’s about fanatic QAnon and MAGA weirdos who think they are breaking a cycle that doesn’t really exist.”	*	1:13:50 (Pop-up)
Frustration	When Does A Banknote Start To Burn?	So Cold Streams	Born Bad Records	2019	Somewhere in most remote and rural places of the country, some kids still need to look at the world with a different perspective. But still, no one was expecting a record such as So Cold Streams. At this stage, Frustration could have easily played it safe releasing a record basically identical to the previous one, intense, abrasive, honest but with no risk. They could have continued to fill the venues with no complaints. But right from the very first seconds of "Insane", a humungous electro-punk monster that wouldn't have been out of place on a 1988 EBM EP, you realize that things aren't gonna go as planned. Instead of setting up a comfortable routine, Frustration recorded its fifth album as if it were the first, like a bunch of guys who've been playing together for six months, who have nothing to lose and a ferocious will to bite.		1:17:57 (Pop-up)
Ventre De Biche	La Vie Est Un Long Fleuve De Merde	Viens Mourir	Teenage Menopause	2015	There is in the music of Ventre De Biche an urgency, a disarming intention, lyrics that transpire the dull and sad corridors of a CCAS in a town of less than 4000 inhabitants. Far from evoking the joy of living, the album "Viens Mourir" offers us songs that I don't listen to at night in my bed, for fear of having anxiety attacks about my future. What stands out most about Ventre De Biche is the immediacy of his music: an obvious DIY approach, a synth, a rhythm machine, a few effects, punk converted into a machine. Like a Black Boy George, his texts touch us in a fairly direct way, because raw and sublimating a gray daily life: "Dirty love, my place is in the filth, without bulletproof vest....		1:19:33 (Pop-up)
Dalle Béton	La Réalité des Hopitaux	Comment Réussir Sa Terrasse	Krakzh	2022	Strange UFO that this EP with the title as incongruous as the name of the group which signs the composition. Behind Dalle Béton hides, among others, Théo Muller, Rennes dj and activist of the wild club and rave scene in the region. Composed and recorded in the back of a garage, these five tense tracks mixed with a meat grinder oscillate between repetitive electronic kraut and muffled uptempo lines dripping with poisonous blues. Jumbled up, the spoken and sung "song" mocks the unbearable quirks of our time stuck between distressing eco-business speeches worthy of a Philippe Bertrand in the middle of the Council of Ministers (Les aléas du vin naturel, Cabadalle), stultifying language tics ( the 'horrifying "all of a sudden") and mindless media postures ( The reality of hospitals) inviting a widespread distribution of slaps. Enjoyably absurd and much more punk in its approach than most peak releases, this disc lends itself perfectly to concerts that one imagines devastated, arousing a liberating dancing violence, the ultimate manifestation of a puffy world that asks only 'to die of his faults.		1:21:55 (Pop-up)

Ibibio Sound Machine	Heroes "Heroes" by "Ibibio Sound Machine"	Heroes	Merge Records	2022	Released Sep 7, 2022. From Stereogum: "Earlier this year, Ibibio Sound Machine, the London-based dance-party crew led by the great Nigerian-born singer Eno Williams, released Electricity, a supremely fun album that was produced entirely by Hot Chip. Today, Ibibio Sound Machine have followed that LP by taking on one of the all-time British rock anthems. David Bowie’s 1977 classic “Heroes” is a song that’s been covered a bajillion times. Oasis, the Smashing Pumpkins, Blondie, TV On The Radio, Peter Gabriel, Lady Gaga, and Prince have all performed or recorded “Heroes” at one point or another. Philip Glass turned “Heroes” into a sympony, and then Aphex Twin remixed the Glass version The Wallflowers covered the song on the dang Godzilla soundtrack. But “Heroes” is still not a song to be taken lightly, and Ibibio Sound Machine have figured out their own take on the track. The Ibibio Sound Machine cover of heroes is a sidelong, percussive version of the track. It removes the song’s fists-up bombast, replacing it instead with a fleet-footed rhythmic sensibility. Ibibio Sound Machine also released a dub version of their cover."		1:43:47 (Pop-up)
Angélique Kidjo	The Great Curve "The Great Curve" by "Angélique Kidjo"	Remain In Light	Kravenworks	2018	This is perhaps my favourite Talking Heads album.

Angélique Kidjo partnered with producer Jeff Bhasker (Rihanna, Kanye West, Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, Drake, Jay-Z) to create Remain in Light. The record is a track-by-track re-imagination of Talking Heads' landmark 1980 album, considered to be one of the greatest albums of the 1980s and deeply influenced by music from West Africa, notably Fela Kuti's Afrobeat. With her version of Remain in Light, Kidjo wanted to celebrate the music of Talking Heads and Brian Eno with her own vocals, as well as percussion, horn orchestrations, and select lyrics performed in languages from her home country. Remain in Light features appearances by Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, Blood Orange, Tony Allen, Antibalas Horns, Kidjo's longtime guitarist Dominic James, and percussionist Magatte Sow. Visual artist Kerry James Marshall created the album artwork."		1:47:12 (Pop-up)
Bob Marley & The Wailers	Mr. Brown	Mr. Brown / Dracula 7"	Upsetter / Trojan	1971	""Mr. Brown" is a song by Jamaican group The Wailers. Recorded in 1970 at Randy's recording studio in Kingston, it was produced by Lee Perry and written by regular Upsetter musician Glen Adams. It originally was released as a single in Jamaica and has appeared on various compilations such as Songs of Freedom. Because it is based on a ghost rumor, the song has lyrics and instrumentals based on a spooky style. The theme of the song relates to a rumor that was spreading through Jamaica that a duppy, or ghost, had been spotted in numerous locations speeding through the land on a three-wheeled coffin, perched upon which were three John crows, or buzzards, one of which could talk and was asking for a Mr. Brown. Glen Adams wrote the lyrics after hearing the story, and after Lee Perry's suggestion, was sung by The Wailers."		1:51:24 (Pop-up)
Terror Visions	Baby's On Fire "Baby's On Fire" by "Terror Visions"	World Of Shit	FDH	2007 / 2013	A project I was not aware of by Jay Lindsey (A.K.A. Jay Reatard / Lost Sounds, Nervous Patterns, Reatards & many other projects of which I am not aware.) In 2013 this was issued as an Expanded edition with 2 new unreleased tracks, one original and one Brian Eno cover (Baby’s on Fire). All Music says about the original edition: "This one-off synth-punk excursion from Memphis rock wunderkind Jay Reatard is not for the faint of heart. The 14 songs clock in at roughly 20 minutes, yet are packed with enough suppressed rage and tortured psychology to make even the most strident fan shudder. That said, beneath the mountains of damaged electronic fuzz and violent imagery are genuinely catchy hooks, the musical hallmark of everything Reatard does regardless of its seeming inaccessibility."		1:54:56 (Pop-up)

Sakamoto has likened 12 to a diary of sorts, with each of the album’s dozen minimalist tracks named after the day on which they were recorded. Its ever-shifting tenor and timbre mirrors the traditional grieving process, starting with a heightened sense of isolation from the outside world that eventually develops into feelings of frustration, agony, and, finally, acceptance. Opening with the numbing sounds of Sakamoto’s sorrowful synthesizers before moving into more densely layered and foreboding arrangements—which reach a near-breaking point on “20220202,” the album’s fifth track—the listener can actively trace the composer’s fraught headspace as he comes to terms with his mortality. The compositions themselves are simple enough, serving to primarily function as walls of sound for Sakamoto to, as he says in the press notes, “shower” himself in. But their extreme clarity and stark tonalities provide a truly transcendent experience for those willing to indulge in their gorgeously austere textures."	*	1:58:48 (Pop-up)
CANNIBALE	Hidden Wealth "Hidden Wealth" by "CANNIBALE"	No Mercy For Love	Born Bad Records	2017	Still unknown in rock territory, French band Cannibale gets its name from its "kind of exotic garage" music whose humid tropical groove is slowly eating up all the stereotypes about Born Bad Records releases. If there's cannibalism to be found in No Mercy For Love, it's in reference to the Caribbean rhythms here-and-there, and to the psychedelic sound from the backwoods that make this first album a peculiar occurrence in the land of strikes and wine drinkers. There's never any silence with Cannibale and, as for the lambs, stick to the village in the middle of nowhere where the band members reside - a hamlet in Normandy with a total population of 300, including the cows. Rather than human flesh, these guys have been feeding on their own impatience...

	8:40pm DJ Babs: I’m still happy I finally learned how to pronounce Geelong last week!
	🏝 8:40pm Kristine: yeah, totally jay reatard sounding. RIP
	8:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:39 Haha
	8:42pm DJ Babs: One of my great accomplishments is having a song on the same comp as Lost Sounds lol.
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:40 Yeah, I've been digging the stuff I've heard from Priors... That track def. has a heavy Jay Reatard vibe. Montreal garagey-punks represent...
	8:43pm laurapanic: that is a sad Bunny/BNNy story....
	8:44pm DJ Babs: It’s going to be time for a trip to Montreal soon!!!
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:43 Laura, it really is. Don't know much about her / them. But definitely a sad way to start a project.
	🏝 8:44pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @8:34 Jaffles ain't Toasties mate! Jaffles are sealed around the edges, like a pie. & the Jaffle irons can be used in a campfire.
	8:45pm DJ Babs: Damn that is sad. 🙁
	8:45pm DJ Babs: Ok so wait now we are back to jaffles here. So it’s like a sealed toastie packet?
	8:46pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:44 its true
	8:46pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:45 yes
	🏝 8:46pm Scott_Oz: I thought dropping the term Jaffle would create a little ??? But in the age of Googoo it, not this much intrigue.
	8:46pm DJ Babs: OK!
	8:47pm laurapanic: that Sonic Jesus track is cooooool
	8:47pm Robm: Better late than never felow echo beach listeners
	8:47pm DJ Babs: Heloo hello Rob!!! Plenty of fun to come!
	8:48pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:47 Yeah, I knew nothing about them before this week... Seems like a pretty bold debut for them, a double album 90 min+, unrelenting. They've followed it up since with more. Will have to dig deeper...
	8:49pm DJ Babs: Also very bold choice of name!!!
	8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:47 Anytime is a good time to see you Robm!
	8:50pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 Oh goody ready for it
	8:50pm Alli B: Hiii!
	8:51pm DJ Babs: This WAEVE record just keeps delivering.
	8:51pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:50 Thanks Derek
	8:51pm DJ Babs: HIIIII ALLIIIIIIIII
	8:52pm Alli B: I lost my phone in the house for almost an hour because I don’t keep the ringer on 😂
	8:52pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @8:50 Alli B, 'allo!
	8:52pm DJ Babs: Great to see ya!!!!
	8:53pm wenzo: 👋👍🖖🤘
	8:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:52 Oh I can sympathize! Nothin worse than losing yer phone and I often leave the ringer off too…
	8:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "The Snitching Hour" by "Deadletter" Child's Pose has a great song called Lil' Snitch that would pair well with this. www.discogs.com...
	8:54pm Alli B: Babs, I made that sweet potato and lentil soup and it’s so good!
	8:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @8:52 That happens to me all the time. Our pal Minesh told me once that "a phone's not a phone if you have the ringer off." He's a wry wit, that one.
	8:54pm DJ Babs: Seriously that soup is the shizzzzzzz
	8:55pm DJ Babs: HahaUS! Will have to check it out!
	8:56pm DJ Babs: *UD
	9:00pm ultradamno: Oh, and it's BC Friday tomorrow....the new/last MX-80 single is now up on there too mx-80sound.bandcamp.com...
	🏝 9:02pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi DJ Babs, Derek, and all!!!
	9:03pm Robm: Hey will
	🏝 9:04pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Robm!
	9:07pm coelacanth∅: good evening Babs & Derek and all
	9:09pm Mr Fab: Hey Babs n Derek! Obligatory Fall reference: feel the wrath of my BOMBAST!
	9:09pm ultradamno: I think the word for two or more drummers in a group is officially a bombast
	9:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:09 Haha, Mr. Fab... Y'know it... We gotta get it in there some way...
	9:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:09 lol
	9:10pm DJ Babs: Hi Will! Hi Ceolaanth! Hi Mr Fab!!!
	9:10pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:00 Yay BC Friday!!!!
	9:10pm Derek Westerholm: A gaggle of geese, a murder of crows, a bombast of drummers, haha
	9:11pm coelacanth∅: and a murder of harpsichords
	9:12pm coelacanth∅: a flurry of flutes . . .
	🏝 9:12pm Scott_Oz: Jaffle with A like at. The art is to toast & heat evenly, while not boiling the contents out the sealed sides. Hence me not chatting.
	9:12pm DJ Babs: But I do believe in the Fall song, that Mark E Smith does use the term correctly!
	9:12pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:12 He does.
	9:12pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:12 That's why I had to look it up.
	9:13pm ultradamno: I think it's a Lurch of harpsichords
	9:13pm Derek Westerholm: I think ppl confuse "bombast" with "bombardment"
	9:13pm Derek Westerholm: Like "reactionary" with "reactive"
	9:14pm coelacanth∅: all it takes is one person to use it incorrectly. the sheeple follow.
	9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @9:02 Hello Will thee!
	9:14pm ultradamno: I like 'reflexive' in place of saying 'reactionary' wrong
	9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:07 Hello coelacanth∅
	9:15pm laurapanic: where is my fall or fall adjacent track Derek
	9:16pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:15 Hmmm... Laura, there was almost a Marc Riley & The Creepers song, but it didn't make the cut.
	9:16pm coelacanth∅: (voluptuous, acronym, chomp . . . )
	9:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:12 When MES used words they were never incorrect- they wouldn’t dare.
	9:16pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:15 Don't tempt me, though, Laura... I still have time to improvise.
	9:16pm DJ Babs: Exactly!
	9:17pm coelacanth∅: hey Will (tSG)
	9:18pm coelacanth∅: it's okay to choose your own meaning for a word within the context of poetry.
	9:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:15 Is Jay Reatard covering the same Eno song that Marc Riley covered "Fall Adjacent" enough? It's kinda a three-ish degrees sort of thing...
	9:20pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:18 An episode of “Echo Beach” without a Fall song? Who are you and what have you done with Derek?!?
	9:20pm DJ Babs: hahah! it's usually ohsees fall or sleaford mods it seems with D
	9:21pm Derek Westerholm: As much as I love precision and accuracy in language & the speaking of it, I often find myself on the wrong side of the equation. When it comes to proper pronunciation of almost anything, I am in the "far minus" side of the equation...
	9:23pm VinylVillainSean: Hola!
	🏝 9:24pm Scott_Oz: Perfection! I make it harder using Wholemeal Bread, with only a light olive oiling of the Jaffle iron. 🍻😎🤙🥪
	9:24pm DJ Babs: Heyaaa it's my favourite vinyl villian named Sean! How's it going buddy!?
	9:24pm DJ Babs: I gotta say the French shit I found this week makes me really happy!

	9:28pm VinylVillainSean: Working on the weather forecast right now lol Great news! It's warming up!
	9:28pm DJ Babs: I dedicate this song to Canadian springtime and temperature fluctuations...I think we're moving towards hot and away from cold finally! LOL
	9:28pm laurapanic: ok I love this song about the cold
	9:28pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ VinylVillainSean @9:28 There it is! Excellent news is excellent! Yay! Warmth!

	9:41pm VinylVillainSean: Fuck Weston. Such a douche
	9:41pm laurapanic: oh you didn't know Death Grips? They are crazy...confronting, hard, loveable
	9:41pm DJ Babs: Seriously FUUUUCK THAT GUUUUY WESTON...
	9:41pm ultradamno: There's a funny story in the Poly Stryrene Dayglo book that Ari unplugged Poly's mike once at the Roxy from the audience. Poly sister hassled Up on the street over it..
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: wha'd you say, BEAT the rich?!
	9:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:34 Ooh, well done Rich. Derek, you caught that one?
	9:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:38 your house sounds wonderful!

	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:57 Well identified!
	9:58pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Baby's On Fire" by "Terror Visions" My head always autocorrect the lyric to 'like a hamster to the slaughter', which I thought it was for a while, even though I know better now.
	🏝 9:58pm Kristine: oh i love Babys on fire. love the solo that eno does in the original! this does not sound like jay!
	🏝 9:58pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you DJ Babs and Derek!
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:58 I really wish Jay Lindsey was still alive.
	9:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ Kristine @9:58 The mighty Robert Fripp played the solo. Classic.

	10:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:59 Up to all of his usual Frippery
	10:00pm DJ Babs: Thank yo Will! We will do some backannouncing after this and I'll squeak in one more tune to take the edge off LOL
	10:00pm ultradamno: Fripp's solo on that pratically spawned it's own genre of post-punk gtr hero freakouts like Anthrax and Cables....
	🏝 10:01pm Kristine: i did not know that was Fripp! Must hear more.
	🏝 10:03pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek, for bringing some warmth & brightness to a not so good Friday. 🌏⛈️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻🌻❤️
	10:03pm ultradamno: I think Kitten set the tone for that theme earlier
	10:04pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @10:00 Agreed UD. Fripp gets a lot of dismissal as being purely prog and noodly but he was as post punk as could be!!

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
Yellow Magic Orchestra	Tighten Up	Multiplies	Alfa Music	1980	Archie Bell & the Drells’ 1968 classic “Tighten Up” was always one of the more idiosyncratic US #1 hits. A funky soul number based on a percolating bass line and choppy two-note guitar rifff, the song simply featured Bell commanding his pledges through various musical directions (most of them tightening-up-related) for three-plus minutes of entirely verse-less and chorus-less bliss-out groove. Perhaps this would explain the logic behind it being selected for covering by easily one of the most idiosyncratic acts of the rock era, Yellow Magic Orchestra. That said, the thing is still basically totally nuts. If anything, playing the song so close to the vest makes the entire experience more perverse, as it allows memories of the original to linger fresh, even as it turns the song’s general intentions inside out. The easygoing, almost floating groove of the Drells’ version is replaced with a decidedly nervy and manic (although not necessarily any less funky) energy, and Takahashi’s crazed instructional exhortations (occasionally delivered in what must be intentionally cartoony Engrish) make Bell’s traffic-directing sound practically catatonic by comparison. And more distance is put between original and cover with each thoroughly erroneous pleading of “JAPANESE GENTLEMAN, STAND UP PUH-LEAZE!!!!” (intoned both in Takahashi’s traditional gutteral wailing, and in a far more disconcerting echo-y bellow from an unclear source). If there’s reasoning behind it, I’m not sure I want to know about it–I can’t really imagine a more appropriately inappropriate recurring phrase to give the song it’s necessary punctuation. Little of this would suggest that the band would necessarily be a good fit for that standardized bedrock of American R&B TV programming, Soul Train. Nonetheless, the programmers evidently saw them as a good fit for the show, and invited the whole crew over to play “Tighten Up” on set, in what probably rivals Public Image Ltd.’s infamous appearance on American Bandstand as the most sheerly unlikely underground-meets-mainstream moment of the New Wave era.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Ryuichi Sakamoto	Riot In Lagos "Riot In Lagos" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto"	B-2 Unit	Alfa	1980	Contrasting with the pop-oriented works Sakamoto was doing with YMO at the time, B-2 Unit was produced with a focus on sounds and tones rather than traditional song strucutres. B-2 Unit has proven to be very much ahead of its time and extremely influential in the development of electronic music. ""Riot In Lagos,"" in particular, is often cited as the blueprint for electro/techno sounds that would rise to prominence in the ensuing decade.		0:03:48 (Pop-up)
Guadal Tejaz	Krautoxic "Krautoxic" by "Guadal Tejaz"	Noche Triste	Creme Brule	2022	Fascinated by Mesoamerican culture, Guadal Tejaz has decanted its psychedelic garage rock to keep only a powerful krautrock precipitate with a taste of mezcal on this second album. Heavy, intense, sharp, crossed by larsens and electric drones, its post-punk with toxic effluences struggles in a dark, bilious and worrying noise mud. In the middle of this black and dirty mass, ordered by the bass-drums duo, emerges the violently inhabited voice of the singer and guitarist Morgan. The group reveals us its recipe of Chili Con Carnage for 4 persons: – 500g of krautrock – 200g of noise – a good chopped punk – 175g of peeled fuzz – 66 tbsp of Guadal sauce (muy picoso!) Then just fry it all in lots of fat, sprinkle with peyote and it’s ready!		0:08:17 (Pop-up)
Astéréotypie	Du Velo A Saint Melo du Kayak A St. Briac	No guy looks like Brad Pitt in Drôme	Air Rytmo	2022	“No guy looks like Brad Pitt in the Drôme… Real life is annoying! ". These are the words of Claire Ottaway, the new recruit of Astereotypie, an energetic post-punk band sometimes drawing on garage-rock or noisy. Born in 2010 within a medico-educational institute, this (d)astonishing group returns with a third album made of atypical texts and lunar phrasings which magnetize the ear and embark us on an expedition of high emotional intensity. Coming across the Astereotypie collective is shocking. It makes the legs move when it takes off, it dislocates the arms with each scansion or break in tempo, it makes the vocal cords howl in chorus and it shatters the preconceived notions if there's anything left.		0:10:57 (Pop-up)
Baston	Flash "Flash" by "Baston"	La Martyre	Baston	2022	After their debut album 'Primates', released in 2019, Baston presents their follow-up 'La Martyre'. The titles of the eight songs all refer to nightclubs in northern Finistère in Brittany, France. Far from the sunny garage pop debut, Baston continues to dig the furrow of cold, hypnotic and haunting music, moving skilfully between German psychedelia, current English post-punk and new wave, easily dodging the pitfall of the stylistic exercise to impose an album of its own.		0:13:16 (Pop-up)
Bodega	Domesticated Animal "Domesticated Animal" by "Bodega"	Shiny New Model	What's Your Rupture?	2019	BODEGA have always gone against the grain: Their insane attention to detail and deliberate aesthetic represents the antithesis of slacker rock and bedroom pop trends. From their harsh Parquet Courts-meets-Gang of Four-meets-Television take on post-punk and art-rock to co-lead singers Ben Hozie and Nikki Belfiglio’s combative stage personas, every move, every lyric and every sound you hear is extremely calculated. They rage against the machine quite literally—so much of their material references the negative aspects of modern technology and late-stage capitalism—and with only a few exceptions, their instrumentals follow suit, mimicking the dystopian lyrics and Hozie’s monotone shouts to paint a pretty bleak look at the world.		0:16:58 (Pop-up)
Balladur	Kula Lumping "Kula Lumping" by "Balladur"	La vallée Etroite	Le Turc Mecanique	2019	Since its beginnings, Balladur has taken pleasure in confusing, losing and then rediscovering its listeners who quickly understood that comfort and repetition were not part of its DNA. From Villeurbanne, Amédée de Murcia and Romain de Ferron serve a very free and very beautiful register, between guitars and machines, with the aim of remaining in a state of perpetual change. Abandoning their old skins on the side of the roads, concert halls and squats, the duo improves as much as they disturb a formula played in the center of the public, on the floor, for a face to face aimed only at sharing and communion as the audience becomes intoxicated with dozens of references scattered throughout the pieces.		0:18:36 (Pop-up)

The first of the band's many LEVITATION appearances down in Austin, this show has been revisited for a new series of vinyl releases, Live at LEVITATION, immortalizing it on glorious 12" colored wax, mixed by John Dwyer and mastered for vinyl by JJ Golden. Speaking on the appearance commemorated with this physical release, Dwyer wrote: "I think this was our first time at levitation but our millionth time in the amazing and tough as nails city of Austin, Texas. Brigid Dawson, Mike Shoun, Petey D and myself had already laid the live show out in front of crowds here, so it wasn't our first rodeo and certainly not my last. Our love is obvious here as we bring forth a short but sweet set of hits and deep cuts. This is also the version of the band with Lars 'Fingers' Finberg of Intelligence fame as second banana drummer. So enjoy some primal and sensual double drumming and as a side note, no one died at this show. Thanks as always to Levitation for making shit happen." The artists and sets showcased on Live at LEVITATION have been chosen from over a decade of recordings at the world-renowned event, and document key artists in the scene performing for a crowd of their peers and fans who gather at LEVITATION annually from all over the world. This 8th release follows Live at LEVITATION releases from Kikagaku Moyo, The Black Angels, Primal Scream, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Moon Duo, Psychic Ills, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Singer-songwriter Chance Hutchison stares deep into his blind spot, offering spunk-fueled spittings gift-wrapped within melodic rock & roll that threatens to leave an emotional mark.

BNNY	Time Walk "Time Walk" by "BNNY"	Everything	Fire Talk	2021	"Bnny is an American indie rock band consisting of Jessica Viscius, Alexa Viscius, Tim Makowski, Adam Schubert, and Matt Pelkey. Originally a solo project of Jessica's named Bunny, Viscius released a couple of singles in 2017 before releasing her debut EP, Sucker the same year. They released their first full-length album, Everything, in 2021. In 2017, Jessica, also known as Jess, Viscius formed a musical solo project called Bunny.

Viscius moved away from the initially EP and recorded new music at Public House in Chicago. Bnny's debut EP, Sucker, was released in 2017.

This Track, though, features drums and lyrics by Simone Russo. "Sonic Jesus is the musical project led by Tiziano Veronese since 2012. Internationally acclaimed since the very beginning, thanks to the instantly sold-out debut on Fuzz Club Records (Sonic Jesus EP, 2012) and a cult split featuring the Black Angels (Split Single N°5, 2014), he took part to the Reverb Conspiracy twice, the Cosmosis Festival (featuring the Jesus & Mary Chain), the Eindhoven Psych Lab and the Reverence Festival. During the years Sonic Jesus performed live throughout Europe and shared stages with Damo Suzuki, Dead Skeletons, A Place To Bury Strangers and Singapore Sling for whom he opened the European leg of his tour.

The WAEVE	On Your Knees, Baby "On Your Knees, Baby" by "The WAEVE"	The WAEVE (Deluxe)	Transgressive Records	2023	Deluxe version released March 27, 2023. This song is one of the Deluxe ones. "“Then, one day in very early January we found ourselves slipping and sliding around Hampstead Heath in the mud, with the low-lying sun blinding us as we talked about ourselves and our lives. Something about Rose’s good humour and bright mischief made me feel a certain kinship toward her. “Within a week we were recording. Our work was exploratory. Two people asked questions of each other, and as a consequence the void became less yawning. Music was created, and these two voices in the songs became two people: Rose and I.” “Rose” is Rose Elinor Dougall, an indie-pop staple formerly of the Pipettes fame, with three solo albums released between 2010 and 2019. “I” is Graham Coxon, the indie, lo-fi side of Blur – among many other projects – writing about his newest music outlet, the Waeve, in his recent memoir, Verse, Chorus, Monster!. A new musical adventure deemed redeeming in light of the 2020 lockdown and subsequent social and human bewilderment However, the duo’s self-titled debut is as far as possible from the covid-core tide that submerged the past couple of years’ music releases. It began as a remote exchange but quickly evolved into a close, in-person, personal and professional acquaintance. They discovered their mutual love for folk music and shared musings on their rough love for British cultural identity. They soon found themselves in Coxon’s home studio, with a finished album. The Waeve was born."		0:47:41 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ: Ryuichi Sakamoto	20220207 "20220207" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto"	12	KAB America	2013	"Ryuichi Sakamoto wrote and produced his 15th [...and final...] studio album, 12, during a year-long recovery from cancer treatment. It’s a starkly intimate affair where, on some songs, the Japanese composer and pianist’s heavy breathing can clearly be heard in the mix, a conscious decision that underscores the corporal cost of his current musical efforts. Sakamoto has likened 12 to a diary of sorts, with each of the album’s dozen minimalist tracks named after the day on which they were recorded. Its ever-shifting tenor and timbre mirrors the traditional grieving process, starting with a heightened sense of isolation from the outside world that eventually develops into feelings of frustration, agony, and, finally, acceptance. Opening with the numbing sounds of Sakamoto’s sorrowful synthesizers before moving into more densely layered and foreboding arrangements—which reach a near-breaking point on “20220202,” the album’s fifth track—the listener can actively trace the composer’s fraught headspace as he comes to terms with his mortality. The compositions themselves are simple enough, serving to primarily function as walls of sound for Sakamoto to, as he says in the press notes, “shower” himself in. But their extreme clarity and stark tonalities provide a truly transcendent experience for those willing to indulge in their gorgeously austere textures."	*	0:53:42 (Pop-up)

It's impossible to pin down or classify, but you'll dance like your inner-stoner was set free into a tropical tiki party where the punks are all hanging out with the masters of reggae and dub, but everyone's having a good time.

Lead single “The Punisher” is everything you might expect from a band like this: nervy, tangled, squalling, and also very good. “They’ve got good news, it’s so sick living in a fanfic,” goes the hook. “They’ve got good news, there’s new life springing from a death cult.”....It hits all the boxes of what this band can do: it’s goofy, but there’s a lot of intricate guitar interplay, and at the end, there’s a big payoff,” the band’s Greg Obis said. “It’s about fanatic QAnon and MAGA weirdos who think they are breaking a cycle that doesn’t really exist.”	*	1:13:50 (Pop-up)
Frustration	When Does A Banknote Start To Burn?	So Cold Streams	Born Bad Records	2019	Somewhere in most remote and rural places of the country, some kids still need to look at the world with a different perspective. But still, no one was expecting a record such as So Cold Streams. At this stage, Frustration could have easily played it safe releasing a record basically identical to the previous one, intense, abrasive, honest but with no risk. They could have continued to fill the venues with no complaints. But right from the very first seconds of "Insane", a humungous electro-punk monster that wouldn't have been out of place on a 1988 EBM EP, you realize that things aren't gonna go as planned. Instead of setting up a comfortable routine, Frustration recorded its fifth album as if it were the first, like a bunch of guys who've been playing together for six months, who have nothing to lose and a ferocious will to bite.		1:17:57 (Pop-up)
Ventre De Biche	La Vie Est Un Long Fleuve De Merde	Viens Mourir	Teenage Menopause	2015	There is in the music of Ventre De Biche an urgency, a disarming intention, lyrics that transpire the dull and sad corridors of a CCAS in a town of less than 4000 inhabitants. Far from evoking the joy of living, the album "Viens Mourir" offers us songs that I don't listen to at night in my bed, for fear of having anxiety attacks about my future. What stands out most about Ventre De Biche is the immediacy of his music: an obvious DIY approach, a synth, a rhythm machine, a few effects, punk converted into a machine. Like a Black Boy George, his texts touch us in a fairly direct way, because raw and sublimating a gray daily life: "Dirty love, my place is in the filth, without bulletproof vest....		1:19:33 (Pop-up)
Dalle Béton	La Réalité des Hopitaux	Comment Réussir Sa Terrasse	Krakzh	2022	Strange UFO that this EP with the title as incongruous as the name of the group which signs the composition. Behind Dalle Béton hides, among others, Théo Muller, Rennes dj and activist of the wild club and rave scene in the region. Composed and recorded in the back of a garage, these five tense tracks mixed with a meat grinder oscillate between repetitive electronic kraut and muffled uptempo lines dripping with poisonous blues. Jumbled up, the spoken and sung "song" mocks the unbearable quirks of our time stuck between distressing eco-business speeches worthy of a Philippe Bertrand in the middle of the Council of Ministers (Les aléas du vin naturel, Cabadalle), stultifying language tics ( the 'horrifying "all of a sudden") and mindless media postures ( The reality of hospitals) inviting a widespread distribution of slaps. Enjoyably absurd and much more punk in its approach than most peak releases, this disc lends itself perfectly to concerts that one imagines devastated, arousing a liberating dancing violence, the ultimate manifestation of a puffy world that asks only 'to die of his faults.		1:21:55 (Pop-up)

Ibibio Sound Machine	Heroes "Heroes" by "Ibibio Sound Machine"	Heroes	Merge Records	2022	Released Sep 7, 2022. From Stereogum: "Earlier this year, Ibibio Sound Machine, the London-based dance-party crew led by the great Nigerian-born singer Eno Williams, released Electricity, a supremely fun album that was produced entirely by Hot Chip. Today, Ibibio Sound Machine have followed that LP by taking on one of the all-time British rock anthems. David Bowie’s 1977 classic “Heroes” is a song that’s been covered a bajillion times. Oasis, the Smashing Pumpkins, Blondie, TV On The Radio, Peter Gabriel, Lady Gaga, and Prince have all performed or recorded “Heroes” at one point or another. Philip Glass turned “Heroes” into a sympony, and then Aphex Twin remixed the Glass version The Wallflowers covered the song on the dang Godzilla soundtrack. But “Heroes” is still not a song to be taken lightly, and Ibibio Sound Machine have figured out their own take on the track. The Ibibio Sound Machine cover of heroes is a sidelong, percussive version of the track. It removes the song’s fists-up bombast, replacing it instead with a fleet-footed rhythmic sensibility. Ibibio Sound Machine also released a dub version of their cover."		1:43:47 (Pop-up)
Angélique Kidjo	The Great Curve "The Great Curve" by "Angélique Kidjo"	Remain In Light	Kravenworks	2018	This is perhaps my favourite Talking Heads album.

Angélique Kidjo partnered with producer Jeff Bhasker (Rihanna, Kanye West, Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, Drake, Jay-Z) to create Remain in Light. The record is a track-by-track re-imagination of Talking Heads' landmark 1980 album, considered to be one of the greatest albums of the 1980s and deeply influenced by music from West Africa, notably Fela Kuti's Afrobeat. With her version of Remain in Light, Kidjo wanted to celebrate the music of Talking Heads and Brian Eno with her own vocals, as well as percussion, horn orchestrations, and select lyrics performed in languages from her home country. Remain in Light features appearances by Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, Blood Orange, Tony Allen, Antibalas Horns, Kidjo's longtime guitarist Dominic James, and percussionist Magatte Sow. Visual artist Kerry James Marshall created the album artwork."		1:47:12 (Pop-up)
Bob Marley & The Wailers	Mr. Brown	Mr. Brown / Dracula 7"	Upsetter / Trojan	1971	""Mr. Brown" is a song by Jamaican group The Wailers. Recorded in 1970 at Randy's recording studio in Kingston, it was produced by Lee Perry and written by regular Upsetter musician Glen Adams. It originally was released as a single in Jamaica and has appeared on various compilations such as Songs of Freedom. Because it is based on a ghost rumor, the song has lyrics and instrumentals based on a spooky style. The theme of the song relates to a rumor that was spreading through Jamaica that a duppy, or ghost, had been spotted in numerous locations speeding through the land on a three-wheeled coffin, perched upon which were three John crows, or buzzards, one of which could talk and was asking for a Mr. Brown. Glen Adams wrote the lyrics after hearing the story, and after Lee Perry's suggestion, was sung by The Wailers."		1:51:24 (Pop-up)
Terror Visions	Baby's On Fire "Baby's On Fire" by "Terror Visions"	World Of Shit	FDH	2007 / 2013	A project I was not aware of by Jay Lindsey (A.K.A. Jay Reatard / Lost Sounds, Nervous Patterns, Reatards & many other projects of which I am not aware.) In 2013 this was issued as an Expanded edition with 2 new unreleased tracks, one original and one Brian Eno cover (Baby’s on Fire). All Music says about the original edition: "This one-off synth-punk excursion from Memphis rock wunderkind Jay Reatard is not for the faint of heart. The 14 songs clock in at roughly 20 minutes, yet are packed with enough suppressed rage and tortured psychology to make even the most strident fan shudder. That said, beneath the mountains of damaged electronic fuzz and violent imagery are genuinely catchy hooks, the musical hallmark of everything Reatard does regardless of its seeming inaccessibility."		1:54:56 (Pop-up)

CANNIBALE	Hidden Wealth "Hidden Wealth" by "CANNIBALE"	No Mercy For Love	Born Bad Records	2017	Still unknown in rock territory, French band Cannibale gets its name from its "kind of exotic garage" music whose humid tropical groove is slowly eating up all the stereotypes about Born Bad Records releases. If there's cannibalism to be found in No Mercy For Love, it's in reference to the Caribbean rhythms here-and-there, and to the psychedelic sound from the backwoods that make this first album a peculiar occurrence in the land of strikes and wine drinkers. There's never any silence with Cannibale and, as for the lambs, stick to the village in the middle of nowhere where the band members reside - a hamlet in Normandy with a total population of 300, including the cows. Rather than human flesh, these guys have been feeding on their own impatience...

	8:17pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:09 Yesterday on my way to work I watched lightning strike the lightning rod on the CN tower, drove through pelting rain, which later poured down w/ hail bouncing all around, then 10 minutes later it cleared up a bit and didn't rain as I walked to the building in which I work... Weird weather times. We've been on a rollercoaster ride between winter and spring for the last couple of weeks now, tempertures swinging wildly.

	8:36pm Tome: waffles minus the ie,,, fried Chicken !<> !
	8:36pm DJ Babs: wow I can't believe that wasn't the ohsees LOL
	8:36pm DJ Babs: ohhh a toastie!
	8:36pm ultradamno: Are you all familiar with tanganmen? Why aren't we all doing this? www.vice.com...
	8:37pm laurapanic: ↳ Kristine @8:35 jaffff-els
	8:37pm DJ Babs: we learn so much here on the beach!
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: Get a jawful of jaffle
	8:37pm Tome: "" love the beat on this one !<> /\/\/\/\/\/ !<>!
	8:37pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:37 hilarious!
	8:38pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tome @8:37 Two drummers... Oh Sees are just too good. It's hard for me to not play them every week. I almost do.
	🏝 8:38pm Kristine: so waffles is w-awful. Is jaffle j-awful?
	8:39pm DJ Babs: It’s troo you do love them but they are deserving
	8:39pm Tome: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:38 they're spot on !<>! that was nice !<>!
	🏝 8:39pm Kristine: its important to get pronunciation right. reputations are on the line!
	8:39pm DJ Babs: Ok how is this not Jay Reatard? lol
	8:40pm DJ Babs: I’m still happy I finally learned how to pronounce Geelong last week!
	🏝 8:40pm Kristine: yeah, totally jay reatard sounding. RIP
	8:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:39 Haha
	8:42pm DJ Babs: One of my great accomplishments is having a song on the same comp as Lost Sounds lol.
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:40 Yeah, I've been digging the stuff I've heard from Priors... That track def. has a heavy Jay Reatard vibe. Montreal garagey-punks represent...
	8:43pm laurapanic: that is a sad Bunny/BNNy story....
	8:44pm DJ Babs: It’s going to be time for a trip to Montreal soon!!!
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:43 Laura, it really is. Don't know much about her / them. But definitely a sad way to start a project.
	🏝 8:44pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @8:34 Jaffles ain't Toasties mate! Jaffles are sealed around the edges, like a pie. & the Jaffle irons can be used in a campfire.
	8:45pm DJ Babs: Damn that is sad. 🙁
	8:45pm DJ Babs: Ok so wait now we are back to jaffles here. So it’s like a sealed toastie packet?
	8:46pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:44 its true
	8:46pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:45 yes
	🏝 8:46pm Scott_Oz: I thought dropping the term Jaffle would create a little ??? But in the age of Googoo it, not this much intrigue.
	8:46pm DJ Babs: OK!
	8:47pm laurapanic: that Sonic Jesus track is cooooool
	8:47pm Robm: Better late than never felow echo beach listeners
	8:47pm DJ Babs: Heloo hello Rob!!! Plenty of fun to come!
	8:48pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:47 Yeah, I knew nothing about them before this week... Seems like a pretty bold debut for them, a double album 90 min+, unrelenting. They've followed it up since with more. Will have to dig deeper...
	8:49pm DJ Babs: Also very bold choice of name!!!
	8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:47 Anytime is a good time to see you Robm!
	8:50pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 Oh goody ready for it
	8:50pm Alli B: Hiii!
	8:51pm DJ Babs: This WAEVE record just keeps delivering.
	8:51pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:50 Thanks Derek
	8:51pm DJ Babs: HIIIII ALLIIIIIIIII
	8:52pm Alli B: I lost my phone in the house for almost an hour because I don’t keep the ringer on 😂
	8:52pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @8:50 Alli B, 'allo!
	8:52pm DJ Babs: Great to see ya!!!!
	8:53pm wenzo: 👋👍🖖🤘
	8:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:52 Oh I can sympathize! Nothin worse than losing yer phone and I often leave the ringer off too…
	8:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "The Snitching Hour" by "Deadletter" Child's Pose has a great song called Lil' Snitch that would pair well with this. www.discogs.com...
	8:54pm Alli B: Babs, I made that sweet potato and lentil soup and it’s so good!
	8:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @8:52 That happens to me all the time. Our pal Minesh told me once that "a phone's not a phone if you have the ringer off." He's a wry wit, that one.
	8:54pm DJ Babs: Seriously that soup is the shizzzzzzz
	8:55pm DJ Babs: HahaUS! Will have to check it out!
	8:56pm DJ Babs: *UD
	9:00pm ultradamno: Oh, and it's BC Friday tomorrow....the new/last MX-80 single is now up on there too mx-80sound.bandcamp.com...
	🏝 9:02pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi DJ Babs, Derek, and all!!!
	9:03pm Robm: Hey will
	🏝 9:04pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Robm!
	9:07pm coelacanth∅: good evening Babs & Derek and all
	9:09pm Mr Fab: Hey Babs n Derek! Obligatory Fall reference: feel the wrath of my BOMBAST!
	9:09pm ultradamno: I think the word for two or more drummers in a group is officially a bombast
	9:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:09 Haha, Mr. Fab... Y'know it... We gotta get it in there some way...
	9:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:09 lol
	9:10pm DJ Babs: Hi Will! Hi Ceolaanth! Hi Mr Fab!!!
	9:10pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:00 Yay BC Friday!!!!
	9:10pm Derek Westerholm: A gaggle of geese, a murder of crows, a bombast of drummers, haha
	9:11pm coelacanth∅: and a murder of harpsichords
	9:12pm coelacanth∅: a flurry of flutes . . .
	🏝 9:12pm Scott_Oz: Jaffle with A like at. The art is to toast & heat evenly, while not boiling the contents out the sealed sides. Hence me not chatting.
	9:12pm DJ Babs: But I do believe in the Fall song, that Mark E Smith does use the term correctly!
	9:12pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:12 He does.
	9:12pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:12 That's why I had to look it up.
	9:13pm ultradamno: I think it's a Lurch of harpsichords
	9:13pm Derek Westerholm: I think ppl confuse "bombast" with "bombardment"
	9:13pm Derek Westerholm: Like "reactionary" with "reactive"
	9:14pm coelacanth∅: all it takes is one person to use it incorrectly. the sheeple follow.
	9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @9:02 Hello Will thee!
	9:14pm ultradamno: I like 'reflexive' in place of saying 'reactionary' wrong
	9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:07 Hello coelacanth∅
	9:15pm laurapanic: where is my fall or fall adjacent track Derek
	9:16pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:15 Hmmm... Laura, there was almost a Marc Riley & The Creepers song, but it didn't make the cut.
	9:16pm coelacanth∅: (voluptuous, acronym, chomp . . . )
	9:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:12 When MES used words they were never incorrect- they wouldn’t dare.
	9:16pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:15 Don't tempt me, though, Laura... I still have time to improvise.
	9:16pm DJ Babs: Exactly!
	9:17pm coelacanth∅: hey Will (tSG)
	9:18pm coelacanth∅: it's okay to choose your own meaning for a word within the context of poetry.
	9:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:15 Is Jay Reatard covering the same Eno song that Marc Riley covered "Fall Adjacent" enough? It's kinda a three-ish degrees sort of thing...
	9:20pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:18 An episode of “Echo Beach” without a Fall song? Who are you and what have you done with Derek?!?
	9:20pm DJ Babs: hahah! it's usually ohsees fall or sleaford mods it seems with D
	9:21pm Derek Westerholm: As much as I love precision and accuracy in language & the speaking of it, I often find myself on the wrong side of the equation. When it comes to proper pronunciation of almost anything, I am in the "far minus" side of the equation...
	9:23pm VinylVillainSean: Hola!
	🏝 9:24pm Scott_Oz: Perfection! I make it harder using Wholemeal Bread, with only a light olive oiling of the Jaffle iron. 🍻😎🤙🥪
	9:24pm DJ Babs: Heyaaa it's my favourite vinyl villian named Sean! How's it going buddy!?
	9:24pm DJ Babs: I gotta say the French shit I found this week makes me really happy!
	9:25pm VinylVillainSean: Hey hey Babs and Derek!
	9:26pm VinylVillainSean: Just at work tuning in while editing the news
	9:27pm DJ Babs: ohhh the news! I'm hope this puts some spring in your editing step! LOL
	9:27pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ VinylVillainSean @9:23 Hello VVS. Hopefully some of the news is good news... As if.
	9:28pm VinylVillainSean: Working on the weather forecast right now lol Great news! It's warming up!
	9:28pm DJ Babs: I dedicate this song to Canadian springtime and temperature fluctuations...I think we're moving towards hot and away from cold finally! LOL
	9:28pm laurapanic: ok I love this song about the cold
	9:28pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ VinylVillainSean @9:28 There it is! Excellent news is excellent! Yay! Warmth!
	9:28pm DJ Babs: Yes it's one of my favourites this week!!!
	9:29pm VinylVillainSean: Such a great dance track

	🏝 9:37pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:34 Looks a little sparse at the moment mate!
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:35 it's no beatnik hangout
	9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:37 enough room for me to roll around on the floor and scream
	🏝 9:41pm Kristine: yeah i wrote my MP that that whole parliament standtaking was a total farce
	9:41pm VinylVillainSean: Fuck Weston. Such a douche
	9:41pm laurapanic: oh you didn't know Death Grips? They are crazy...confronting, hard, loveable
	9:41pm DJ Babs: Seriously FUUUUCK THAT GUUUUY WESTON...
	9:41pm ultradamno: There's a funny story in the Poly Stryrene Dayglo book that Ari unplugged Poly's mike once at the Roxy from the audience. Poly sister hassled Up on the street over it..
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: wha'd you say, BEAT the rich?!
	9:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:34 Ooh, well done Rich. Derek, you caught that one?
	9:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:38 your house sounds wonderful!
	9:42pm DJ Babs: Eat, beat…whatever it takes!
	9:42pm Feldy: Oh Death Grips!
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: they must taste Nasty
	9:43pm DJ Babs: Agreeeed. Too greasy lol
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: and rotten to the core!
	9:44pm DJ Babs: Literally the guy fixed the price of bread. That’s some evil shit.
	🏝 9:45pm Kristine: hey D and B, is this the french band frustrations, or is it singular frustration?
	9:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:34 Heloooo and welcome Rich!!!
	9:46pm DJ Babs: MeepMoop is singing along
	9:47pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:45 It isssssss…..Frustration
	🏝 9:49pm Kristine: ah! funny. there is a great french technopunkish band called frustrations. i missed the track you played unfortunately
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Rich!
	9:49pm DJ Babs: Ahhh interesting! So not the same band then!?
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:42 Fab, caught it now, haha!
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @9:42 Yes!
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: Hi Babs! Hi Derek! Hi everyone!
	9:50pm DJ Babs: Very cool version this!
	🏝 9:50pm Kristine: guess not! or maybe they removed the s
	🏝 9:52pm Kristine: oh it is the same !
	9:52pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:34 Almost played the "Black-Eyed Snakes" version of My New House... A couple of weeks running... So close to being topical! Ha!
	9:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:52 Ha there you go Kristine!
	9:54pm Alli B: ❤️❤️❤️
	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:50 I love this song so much.
	9:55pm VinylVillainSean: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:54 me too!
	9:57pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Mr. Brown" by "Bob Marley & The Wailers" I was listening to this going: that’s gotta be Lee Scratch Perry
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:57 You were not incorrect
	9:58pm DJ Babs: There are many bad versions of this song, but I very much like this cover!
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:57 Well identified!
	9:58pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Baby's On Fire" by "Terror Visions" My head always autocorrect the lyric to 'like a hamster to the slaughter', which I thought it was for a while, even though I know better now.
	🏝 9:58pm Kristine: oh i love Babys on fire. love the solo that eno does in the original! this does not sound like jay!
	🏝 9:58pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you DJ Babs and Derek!
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:58 I really wish Jay Lindsey was still alive.
	9:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ Kristine @9:58 The mighty Robert Fripp played the solo. Classic.
	9:59pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:58 Ultra, haha. I love that you self-auto-correct!
	10:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:59 Up to all of his usual Frippery
	10:00pm DJ Babs: Thank yo Will! We will do some backannouncing after this and I'll squeak in one more tune to take the edge off LOL
	10:00pm ultradamno: Fripp's solo on that pratically spawned it's own genre of post-punk gtr hero freakouts like Anthrax and Cables....
	🏝 10:01pm Kristine: i did not know that was Fripp! Must hear more.
	🏝 10:03pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek, for bringing some warmth & brightness to a not so good Friday. 🌏⛈️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻🌻❤️
	10:03pm ultradamno: I think Kitten set the tone for that theme earlier
	10:04pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @10:00 Agreed UD. Fripp gets a lot of dismissal as being purely prog and noodly but he was as post punk as could be!!
	10:04pm DJ Babs: And you are welcome Scott! Thank you for always brigin' the sunshine from Down Under!!!
	10:10pm Feldy: Night guys!
