Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
Tonight we interview Omar Sheriff, talking about past times in Toronto through the nineties, and more currently, the new times in London UK & his brand-new label Silvietta Records.
Music behind DJ: Sounds Of The Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds Of The Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			0:00:03 (Pop-up)
Mort Garson	Leave the Driving To Us	Wozard of Iz - An Electric Odyssey	Universal Music Group	2023	The Wozard of Iz is an album of electronic music composed and realized by Mort Garson and conceived and written by Jacques Wilson. It parodies the movie The Wizard of Oz, setting the characters in the 1960s with a hippie mindset. Throughout the story the main character, Dorothy, seeks out "where it's at". In a 1969 interview, Garson admitted that he hadn't used the Moog synthesizer in "a very sophisticated way" for his 1967 album, The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds. However, by the time of The Wozard of Iz, he had learned most of the techniques for using the instrument.	*	0:02:20 (Pop-up)
Spectrum	How You Satisfy Me "How You Satisfy Me" by "Spectrum"	Soul Kiss (Glide Divine)	Sony Music UK	1992	For Spectrum, Pete Kember AKA Sonic Boom recruited new musicians Richard Formby, who had previously contributed guitar and keyboards to Sonic Boom's side of the final Spacemen 3 album Recurring, and Mike Stout for the group Spectrum in 1991. Initial Spectrum releases carried on from the sound of late-period Spacemen 3, featuring conventional songs and a regular band. First single "How You Satisfy Me" was an original composition by Kember and Formby reminiscent of 1960s garage bands, based as it was upon the Chip Taylor-penned pop hit "I Can't Let Go". Since 1996 the Spectrum name has been used for Kember's solo work, sometimes with Bain and recording engineer/musician Alf Hardy. The music made with Bain and Hardy was often in the same vein as E.A.R., reflecting an increased interest in vintage analogue synthesizers, especially those made by EMS. After issuing 1997's Forever Alien album, there were no further releases of new material under the Spectrum moniker until 2008's Indian Giver collaboration with Jim Dickinson.		0:05:13 (Pop-up)
Powerplant	Beautiful Boy "Beautiful Boy" by "Powerplant"	Beautiful Boy Single	Statc Shock	2023	After last year’s instrumental fantasy album Stump Soup, London-based quartet, Powerplant, emerge from the dungeon and back to reality with a 5 track electronic punk record. Grass was released 14th July via London’s Static Shock Records (Uranium Club, Sheer Mag, Chubby and The Gang, Warthog). Recorded in bedrooms with the closing song vocals tracked at East London’s music community hotbed Fuzzbrain Studio. With a rigid drum machine backing, the track feels similar to a locked rollercoaster ride, taking you through carefully planned and executed spins and swirls, translating the emotional torture of grief and sudden loss. Powerplant’s mastermind Theo Zhykharyev explains, “I had the melody and the lyrics more or less written for quite some time but it didn’t mean a lot to me, until so much was lost and taken by the russian invasion of Ukraine last year. The carcass of ‘Beautiful Boy’ was what I had to process the loss personally.”	*	0:09:25 (Pop-up)
Mora sti Fotia	Third Uncle "Third Uncle" by "Mora sti Fotia"	Mora sti Fotia	Ano Kato	1988	The band formated in 1985 in the town of Veria by three friends with the name Τεμπέληδες της Εύφορης Κοιλάδας (Tempelides tis Efforis Koiladas). In 1986 the band relocated to Thessaloniki and changed the name to Λεγεώνα των Ξένων (Legeona ton Xenon). In 1987 the band changed the name to Μωρά Στη Φωτιά [Mora Sti Fotia], the same year the first album of the band was released under this name. In 2004 the leading member of the band, Stelios "Salvador" Papaioannou created his personal label, Baby Records, with purpose to release the band's works with it.		0:12:02 (Pop-up)
Cockney Rejects	Police Car "Police Car" by "Cockney Rejects"	Flares 'n Slippers (EP)	Small Wonder Records	1979	Cockney Rejects were formed in 1978 by brothers Jeff and Micky Geggus, with their brother-in-law Chris Murrell on bass and Paul Harvey on drums. Their first demo, "Flares n' Slippers", caught the attention of Small Wonder Records owner Pete Stennett, who introduced the band to Bob Sergeant. With Sergeant, they recorded their single "Flares n' Slippers", which sold out its first pressing. Their 1980 song "Oi, Oi, Oi" was the inspiration for the name of the Oi! music genre. Staunchly anti-government, they unfortunately were quite misunderstood, partly because of their ties with football...hooliganism. But they also clashed with far right neo-nazis who tried to start shit at their gigs...with bad outcomes for the nazis. As it should always be.		0:17:05 (Pop-up)
Butthole Surfers	Human Cannonball	Locust Abortion Technician	Touch and Go	1987	Locust Abortion Technician was the first Butthole Surfers album to not be recorded in a professional studio. After growing tired of living on the road, the band relocated to Winterville sometime in 1986, where they rented a small two-bedroom house, and used their meager savings to purchase an old Ampex 8-track tape machine and two microphones. Additionally, the new studio freed the band from having to worry about recording costs, allowing them to experiment even more than on previous releases. Jeff Pinkus has also said that the home studio gave them the luxury of taking extended breaks for drug use. "The aural equivalent of a nightmarish acid trip and arguably the band's best album (or worst, depending on your point of view), Locust Abortion Technician tops the psychedelic, artsy sonic experimentation of Rembrandt Pussyhorse while keeping one foot planted firmly in the gutter." It is a masterpiece.		0:18:28 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Zongamin	Bongo Song "Bongo Song" by "Zongamin"	Bongo Song Single	Ed Banger	2006	This little banger might be tad repetitive but it's effective as hell and always gets a party going. Plus it's a great tune for a car chase down a highway....Zongamin is Japanese/UK artist Susimu Mukai...His music has been described as "incorporating left-field disco, funk, hip-hop, and house, along with good old sloppy garage rock and spaghetti Western soundtracks", and "post punk, somewhat cheesy funkdom interspersed with droning catchy dance hooks".[2] Gigwise.com described his debut album as "a schizophrenic shot of spaghetti western mayhem, angular foot-stamping menace, and made-in-the-kitchen-sink funk"		0:22:22 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Dub Spencer & Trance Hill	Police & Thieves	The Clashification of Dub	Echo Beach	2011	The title of this disc has it exactly backwards: this album represents not the Clash-ification of dub, but rather the dubification of the Clash. Swiss neo-reggae stars Dub Spencer and Trance Hill take 12 classic Clash songs and reinterpret them as dubwise instrumental reggae; it's the kind of project that is liable to either succeed wildly or fall flat on its face...		0:27:30 (Pop-up)
One Blood	Safe "Safe" by "One Blood"	Building A World Of Prosperity With...The Efficiency Of The Free Enterprise System	Gern Blandsten	1991	One Blood were a Canadian hardcore / punk band from Toronto, Ontario band, whose membership included this week's interview subject, Omar Sheriff. Various members split writing credits various was; this song is entirely his. Omar is now located in London, UK & has started the label Silvietta Records. This was the first official release of the New Jersey label Gern Blandsten Records.		0:37:04 (Pop-up)
A Tuesday Weld	Umm... "Umm..." by "A Tuesday Weld"	Leisure Terrorists	Theta State Recordings	1994	Toronto, ON-based noise-pop/shoegaze band extant from 1992 to 1994. / Members: Elisabeth Kurtis, Jonathan Bunce (AKA Jonny Dovercourt), Kevin Vernhout, Mike Canzi, Omar Sheriff "A Tuesday Weld was one of the first noise-pop or “shoegazer” groups to emerge from Toronto in the early 90s. Together less than two years, from 1992-94, with only a three-song tape, a CD comp track and a handful of reviews to remember them by, the quintet nonetheless made a lasting impact on the Toronto independent music community."

Jimmy Cliff	Waterfall "Waterfall" by "Jimmy Cliff"	Wonderful World, Beautiful People 7"	A & M	1969	Jimmy Cliff is the only living reggae musician to hold the Order of Merit, the highest honour that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievements in the arts and sciences. At the age of 14, "Hurricane Hattie" became his first hit. In 1964, Cliff was chosen as one of Jamaica's representatives at the World's Fair in New York; and in the same year Cliff was featured in a program called "This is Ska!" alongside Prince Buster, Toots and the Maytals, and Byron Lee and the Dragonaires. "Basically, I'm motivated to write about sociopolitical issues as well as relationships. I think those themes have stayed with me throughout my life."		1:21:43 (Pop-up)
Quintron	Waterfall "Waterfall" by "Quintron"	Too Thirsty 4 Love	Goner Records	2008	Quintron (real name Robert Rolston; born c. 1967 in Germany) is an American musician and leader of the eponymous one-man-band, "Quintron". He is a nightclub organist and inventor, who has patented a number of his own inventions and often performs at his own private club, the Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans. Mr. Quintron is known for his eccentric behavior. In 1996, during an interview for a Times-Picayune article, he told interviewer Bill Grady that he and his wife were first cousins. He also conducted the interview in a wheelchair, explaining that he had fallen from a roller coaster while at Six Flags over Mid-America. In an interview with Odyssey Magazine, Quintron qualified his unusual demeanor and explained his attitude towards the press, remarking; "I am aware that this interview is a game and I can step outside of this page to see it for what it is. You know, I may never say what I have just said in another interview ever. I can be inconsistent, unreliable, contradictory... like electricity or plumbing."		1:24:13 (Pop-up)
Liiek	Waterfall "Waterfall" by "Liiek"	Liiek	Liiek / rds rec. hh	2020	LIIEK is a German three piece band of ADKosmonauten Crew playing austere post-punk.The songs coalesce around the bass lines, which have a driving yet funk-and-dub-informed quality that reminiscent of bands like Pylon and Delta 5. However, these grooving bass lines contrast with angular guitar lines and shouted, staccato vocals, both of which recall early Devo. Then, just for run the whole formula gets flipped with a surf-y lead guitars taking the spotlight on some tunes while the bass and drums march forward with a motorik pulse. This band is great and we shall continue to play them here on the beach! Liiek (Bandcamp)		1:28:29 (Pop-up)
Sonic Youth	Drunken Butterfly "Drunken Butterfly" by "Sonic Youth"	Dirty	Geffen Records	1992	Dirty is the seventh full-length studio album and second double album by American rock band Sonic Youth, released on July 21, 1992, by DGC Records. The band recorded and co-produced the album with Butch Vig in early 1992 at the Magic Shop studios. There were many high hopes for this record, with some hardcore fans crying "sellout"...however all four singles did relatively well, including this one and cemented Sonic Youth as a pillar of college indie rock. The lyrics to "Drunken Butterfly" were taken wholly from song titles and lyrics of Heart songs, and the track was originally titled "Barracuda" after a Heart song. The final title was taken from Heart song "Dog & Butterfly", which sounds a bit like "drunken butterfly".		1:30:28 (Pop-up)
Sinfonico Honolulu	Caterpillar "Caterpillar" by "Sinfonico Honolulu"	Thousand Souls Of Revolution	Sinfonico Honolulu		Sinfonico Honolulu is the first and largest ukulele orchestra in Italy. Tuscan and Livorno musicians, in suits and ties, brought together by the sweet vibrations of the sound of the ukulele, to revisit the greatest hits of international rock and pop from the 1950s to today, supported by a bass and drums. "The small four-stringed instrument hides behind its apparently playful appearance a world of sounds, colours, atmospheres and possibilities with which it is worth rediscovering famous melodies in a new dress and listen to the songs in this new key, retrace the styles, the path of the bands, the customs that have accompanied our society in the last 70 years of music history."		1:33:28 (Pop-up)
Blonde Redhead	Misery Is A Butterfly	Misery Is A Butterfly	4AD	2004	Misery Is a Butterfly is the sixth studio album by American alternative rock band Blonde Redhead. The album was released on March 15, 2004, by 4AD. Much of the visual and lyrical imagery of the album is reflective of an accident in which lead singer Kazu Makino was trampled by a horse.		1:36:40 (Pop-up)
Lush	Sweetness and Light "Sweetness and Light" by "Lush"	Gala	4AD	1990	The band was formed in 1987 in London, initially named the Baby Machines (after a line in the Siouxsie and the Banshees song "Arabian Knights"), with a line-up of Meriel Barham (vocals), Anderson (guitar, vocals), Berenyi (guitar, vocals), Steve Rippon (bass guitar) and Chris Acland (drums). Their influences were diverse; they were inspired by the garage rock scene of the Nuggets series, Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Beach Boys and the Byrds.		1:41:45 (Pop-up)

Cocteau Twins	Aikea-Guinea "Aikea-Guinea" by "Cocteau Twins"	Aikea-Guinea EP	4AD	1984	After nearly 20 years together, the band disbanded in 1997 in part due to issues stemming from the disintegration of Fraser and Guthrie's romantic relationship. In 2005, the band announced that they would reunite to headline Coachella Festival and embark on a world tour but the reunion was cancelled a month later after Fraser refused to perform on stage with Guthrie. In a 2021 interview, Raymonde confirmed that Cocteau Twins "will never reform".		1:58:43 (Pop-up)

	🏝 9:21pm Kristine: butterfly sanctuaries sounds really freaky
	9:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Waterfall" by "Jimmy Cliff" i have to admit, i've never heard this jimmy cliff. in fact, i had to double check to see if it was actually jimmy cliff, as it sounds rather different then his later stuff...
	9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Waterfall" by "Quintron" i saw miss pussycat & quintron in a crumbling house party in e willamsburg in 2006, i think we had maybe 50 people packed into there... /can't wait until i'm back in brooklyn...
	9:27pm Jess: Wooohooo live this 😻
	9:27pm laurapanic: the reggae reference reminded me I recently watched the movie "Rockers" (1978) I think I found it on youtube. Its an incredible movie about Jamaica and the music scene. Its a drama, not a doco. Very indie/budget - much like the music itself.
	9:31pm DJ Babs: ↳ Jess @9:27 That's awesome Jess!!!! so glad you are enjoying!!!
	9:31pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:25 I agree! I was like "WHAT" it's super charming and lovely tho!!
	9:31pm laurapanic: OK I love Kim Gordon. But this factoid about the lyrics is EVERYTHING
	9:31pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Waterfall" by "Liiek" I don't know if I mentioned this here last week, but since BC Friday is in a matter of hours, new release for Liiek side project Ostseetraum mangelrecords.bandcamp.com...
	9:32pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:27 They played often here in toronto, I got to open for them once!!!
	9:32pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:21 I suppose the argument could be made that a butterfly sanctuary is freaky... Though I just looked up what a group of butterflies are called... "A group of butterflies is a kaleidoscope. They’re also known as a swarm, flutter, flight, swarm, rabble, or a wing of butterflies."
	9:32pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ laurapanic @9:31 I never knew this factoid.
	9:32pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:21 NO butterfly sanctuaries are AMAZING. I urge everyone to go. We did see some that had died tho and that was sad. But the rest seemed VERY happy!!
	9:34pm laurapanic: ↳ Your Pretend Boyfriend @9:32 me neither!
	9:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Drunken Butterfly" by "Sonic Youth" I faved this SY on Charlie's Busy Doing Nothing 8 years ago..
	🏝 9:35pm Scott_Oz: The Cure for something you never knew you had!
	🏝 9:35pm Kristine: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:32 a kaleidoscope? neat! all i see are a bunch of colourful moths. but butterflies like monarchs i guess are beautiful. too many fluttering wings in an enclosed space for my personal taste tho :)
	🏝 9:36pm Kristine: god forbid i meet a drunken butterfly, that would freak me the f out!
	9:37pm northguineahills: Gainesville, FL has a giant wonderful butterfly garden w/ over a 100 species.. it's a fun place to hang (and it's next to the university's natural history museum).
	🏝 9:37pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Kristine @9:36 They're fine if you buy em a beer & listen to their story! 🍺🦋💫
	9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Misery Is A Butterfly" by "Blonde Redhead" ok, i'm going weep now.. /i listen to this song at least once a week
	9:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Misery Is A Butterfly" by "Blonde Redhead" they recorded this after Kazu was in a car accident, which slashed her face made it hard to hit her pitches again. She took a year of vocal lessons just to get her voice back, and the note she hits at the end here is the end result (i know people close to them)...
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:39 NGH, thank-you so much for this extra insight... This song is so poignant & heart wrenching... Having this added context about the vox lessons & final note makes it all the more astounding!
	9:42pm northguineahills: LUSH!!!!
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:32 wish i was there!
	9:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Sweetness and Light" by "Lush" I still have to grab Miki's book. It is supposed to be excellent

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
Tonight we interview Omar Sheriff, talking about past times in Toronto through the nineties, and more currently, the new times in London UK & his brand-new label Silvietta Records.
Music behind DJ: Sounds Of The Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds Of The Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			0:00:03 (Pop-up)
Mort Garson	Leave the Driving To Us	Wozard of Iz - An Electric Odyssey	Universal Music Group	2023	The Wozard of Iz is an album of electronic music composed and realized by Mort Garson and conceived and written by Jacques Wilson. It parodies the movie The Wizard of Oz, setting the characters in the 1960s with a hippie mindset. Throughout the story the main character, Dorothy, seeks out "where it's at". In a 1969 interview, Garson admitted that he hadn't used the Moog synthesizer in "a very sophisticated way" for his 1967 album, The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds. However, by the time of The Wozard of Iz, he had learned most of the techniques for using the instrument.	*	0:02:20 (Pop-up)
Spectrum	How You Satisfy Me "How You Satisfy Me" by "Spectrum"	Soul Kiss (Glide Divine)	Sony Music UK	1992	For Spectrum, Pete Kember AKA Sonic Boom recruited new musicians Richard Formby, who had previously contributed guitar and keyboards to Sonic Boom's side of the final Spacemen 3 album Recurring, and Mike Stout for the group Spectrum in 1991. Initial Spectrum releases carried on from the sound of late-period Spacemen 3, featuring conventional songs and a regular band. First single "How You Satisfy Me" was an original composition by Kember and Formby reminiscent of 1960s garage bands, based as it was upon the Chip Taylor-penned pop hit "I Can't Let Go". Since 1996 the Spectrum name has been used for Kember's solo work, sometimes with Bain and recording engineer/musician Alf Hardy. The music made with Bain and Hardy was often in the same vein as E.A.R., reflecting an increased interest in vintage analogue synthesizers, especially those made by EMS. After issuing 1997's Forever Alien album, there were no further releases of new material under the Spectrum moniker until 2008's Indian Giver collaboration with Jim Dickinson.		0:05:13 (Pop-up)
Powerplant	Beautiful Boy "Beautiful Boy" by "Powerplant"	Beautiful Boy Single	Statc Shock	2023	After last year’s instrumental fantasy album Stump Soup, London-based quartet, Powerplant, emerge from the dungeon and back to reality with a 5 track electronic punk record. Grass was released 14th July via London’s Static Shock Records (Uranium Club, Sheer Mag, Chubby and The Gang, Warthog). Recorded in bedrooms with the closing song vocals tracked at East London’s music community hotbed Fuzzbrain Studio. With a rigid drum machine backing, the track feels similar to a locked rollercoaster ride, taking you through carefully planned and executed spins and swirls, translating the emotional torture of grief and sudden loss. Powerplant’s mastermind Theo Zhykharyev explains, “I had the melody and the lyrics more or less written for quite some time but it didn’t mean a lot to me, until so much was lost and taken by the russian invasion of Ukraine last year. The carcass of ‘Beautiful Boy’ was what I had to process the loss personally.”	*	0:09:25 (Pop-up)
Mora sti Fotia	Third Uncle "Third Uncle" by "Mora sti Fotia"	Mora sti Fotia	Ano Kato	1988	The band formated in 1985 in the town of Veria by three friends with the name Τεμπέληδες της Εύφορης Κοιλάδας (Tempelides tis Efforis Koiladas). In 1986 the band relocated to Thessaloniki and changed the name to Λεγεώνα των Ξένων (Legeona ton Xenon). In 1987 the band changed the name to Μωρά Στη Φωτιά [Mora Sti Fotia], the same year the first album of the band was released under this name. In 2004 the leading member of the band, Stelios "Salvador" Papaioannou created his personal label, Baby Records, with purpose to release the band's works with it.		0:12:02 (Pop-up)
Cockney Rejects	Police Car "Police Car" by "Cockney Rejects"	Flares 'n Slippers (EP)	Small Wonder Records	1979	Cockney Rejects were formed in 1978 by brothers Jeff and Micky Geggus, with their brother-in-law Chris Murrell on bass and Paul Harvey on drums. Their first demo, "Flares n' Slippers", caught the attention of Small Wonder Records owner Pete Stennett, who introduced the band to Bob Sergeant. With Sergeant, they recorded their single "Flares n' Slippers", which sold out its first pressing. Their 1980 song "Oi, Oi, Oi" was the inspiration for the name of the Oi! music genre. Staunchly anti-government, they unfortunately were quite misunderstood, partly because of their ties with football...hooliganism. But they also clashed with far right neo-nazis who tried to start shit at their gigs...with bad outcomes for the nazis. As it should always be.		0:17:05 (Pop-up)
Butthole Surfers	Human Cannonball	Locust Abortion Technician	Touch and Go	1987	Locust Abortion Technician was the first Butthole Surfers album to not be recorded in a professional studio. After growing tired of living on the road, the band relocated to Winterville sometime in 1986, where they rented a small two-bedroom house, and used their meager savings to purchase an old Ampex 8-track tape machine and two microphones. Additionally, the new studio freed the band from having to worry about recording costs, allowing them to experiment even more than on previous releases. Jeff Pinkus has also said that the home studio gave them the luxury of taking extended breaks for drug use. "The aural equivalent of a nightmarish acid trip and arguably the band's best album (or worst, depending on your point of view), Locust Abortion Technician tops the psychedelic, artsy sonic experimentation of Rembrandt Pussyhorse while keeping one foot planted firmly in the gutter." It is a masterpiece.		0:18:28 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Zongamin	Bongo Song "Bongo Song" by "Zongamin"	Bongo Song Single	Ed Banger	2006	This little banger might be tad repetitive but it's effective as hell and always gets a party going. Plus it's a great tune for a car chase down a highway....Zongamin is Japanese/UK artist Susimu Mukai...His music has been described as "incorporating left-field disco, funk, hip-hop, and house, along with good old sloppy garage rock and spaghetti Western soundtracks", and "post punk, somewhat cheesy funkdom interspersed with droning catchy dance hooks".[2] Gigwise.com described his debut album as "a schizophrenic shot of spaghetti western mayhem, angular foot-stamping menace, and made-in-the-kitchen-sink funk"		0:22:22 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Dub Spencer & Trance Hill	Police & Thieves	The Clashification of Dub	Echo Beach	2011	The title of this disc has it exactly backwards: this album represents not the Clash-ification of dub, but rather the dubification of the Clash. Swiss neo-reggae stars Dub Spencer and Trance Hill take 12 classic Clash songs and reinterpret them as dubwise instrumental reggae; it's the kind of project that is liable to either succeed wildly or fall flat on its face...		0:27:30 (Pop-up)
One Blood	Safe "Safe" by "One Blood"	Building A World Of Prosperity With...The Efficiency Of The Free Enterprise System	Gern Blandsten	1991	One Blood were a Canadian hardcore / punk band from Toronto, Ontario band, whose membership included this week's interview subject, Omar Sheriff. Various members split writing credits various was; this song is entirely his. Omar is now located in London, UK & has started the label Silvietta Records. This was the first official release of the New Jersey label Gern Blandsten Records.		0:37:04 (Pop-up)
A Tuesday Weld	Umm... "Umm..." by "A Tuesday Weld"	Leisure Terrorists	Theta State Recordings	1994	Toronto, ON-based noise-pop/shoegaze band extant from 1992 to 1994. / Members: Elisabeth Kurtis, Jonathan Bunce (AKA Jonny Dovercourt), Kevin Vernhout, Mike Canzi, Omar Sheriff "A Tuesday Weld was one of the first noise-pop or “shoegazer” groups to emerge from Toronto in the early 90s. Together less than two years, from 1992-94, with only a three-song tape, a CD comp track and a handful of reviews to remember them by, the quintet nonetheless made a lasting impact on the Toronto independent music community." A Tuesday Weld (Bandcamp)		0:39:32 (Pop-up)

Jimmy Cliff	Waterfall "Waterfall" by "Jimmy Cliff"	Wonderful World, Beautiful People 7"	A & M	1969	Jimmy Cliff is the only living reggae musician to hold the Order of Merit, the highest honour that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievements in the arts and sciences. At the age of 14, "Hurricane Hattie" became his first hit. In 1964, Cliff was chosen as one of Jamaica's representatives at the World's Fair in New York; and in the same year Cliff was featured in a program called "This is Ska!" alongside Prince Buster, Toots and the Maytals, and Byron Lee and the Dragonaires. "Basically, I'm motivated to write about sociopolitical issues as well as relationships. I think those themes have stayed with me throughout my life."		1:21:43 (Pop-up)
Quintron	Waterfall "Waterfall" by "Quintron"	Too Thirsty 4 Love	Goner Records	2008	Quintron (real name Robert Rolston; born c. 1967 in Germany) is an American musician and leader of the eponymous one-man-band, "Quintron". He is a nightclub organist and inventor, who has patented a number of his own inventions and often performs at his own private club, the Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans. Mr. Quintron is known for his eccentric behavior. In 1996, during an interview for a Times-Picayune article, he told interviewer Bill Grady that he and his wife were first cousins. He also conducted the interview in a wheelchair, explaining that he had fallen from a roller coaster while at Six Flags over Mid-America. In an interview with Odyssey Magazine, Quintron qualified his unusual demeanor and explained his attitude towards the press, remarking; "I am aware that this interview is a game and I can step outside of this page to see it for what it is. You know, I may never say what I have just said in another interview ever. I can be inconsistent, unreliable, contradictory... like electricity or plumbing."		1:24:13 (Pop-up)
Liiek	Waterfall "Waterfall" by "Liiek"	Liiek	Liiek / rds rec. hh	2020	LIIEK is a German three piece band of ADKosmonauten Crew playing austere post-punk.The songs coalesce around the bass lines, which have a driving yet funk-and-dub-informed quality that reminiscent of bands like Pylon and Delta 5. However, these grooving bass lines contrast with angular guitar lines and shouted, staccato vocals, both of which recall early Devo. Then, just for run the whole formula gets flipped with a surf-y lead guitars taking the spotlight on some tunes while the bass and drums march forward with a motorik pulse. This band is great and we shall continue to play them here on the beach! Liiek (Bandcamp)		1:28:29 (Pop-up)
Sonic Youth	Drunken Butterfly "Drunken Butterfly" by "Sonic Youth"	Dirty	Geffen Records	1992	Dirty is the seventh full-length studio album and second double album by American rock band Sonic Youth, released on July 21, 1992, by DGC Records. The band recorded and co-produced the album with Butch Vig in early 1992 at the Magic Shop studios. There were many high hopes for this record, with some hardcore fans crying "sellout"...however all four singles did relatively well, including this one and cemented Sonic Youth as a pillar of college indie rock. The lyrics to "Drunken Butterfly" were taken wholly from song titles and lyrics of Heart songs, and the track was originally titled "Barracuda" after a Heart song. The final title was taken from Heart song "Dog & Butterfly", which sounds a bit like "drunken butterfly".		1:30:28 (Pop-up)
Sinfonico Honolulu	Caterpillar "Caterpillar" by "Sinfonico Honolulu"	Thousand Souls Of Revolution	Sinfonico Honolulu		Sinfonico Honolulu is the first and largest ukulele orchestra in Italy. Tuscan and Livorno musicians, in suits and ties, brought together by the sweet vibrations of the sound of the ukulele, to revisit the greatest hits of international rock and pop from the 1950s to today, supported by a bass and drums. "The small four-stringed instrument hides behind its apparently playful appearance a world of sounds, colours, atmospheres and possibilities with which it is worth rediscovering famous melodies in a new dress and listen to the songs in this new key, retrace the styles, the path of the bands, the customs that have accompanied our society in the last 70 years of music history."		1:33:28 (Pop-up)
Blonde Redhead	Misery Is A Butterfly	Misery Is A Butterfly	4AD	2004	Misery Is a Butterfly is the sixth studio album by American alternative rock band Blonde Redhead. The album was released on March 15, 2004, by 4AD. Much of the visual and lyrical imagery of the album is reflective of an accident in which lead singer Kazu Makino was trampled by a horse.		1:36:40 (Pop-up)
Lush	Sweetness and Light "Sweetness and Light" by "Lush"	Gala	4AD	1990	The band was formed in 1987 in London, initially named the Baby Machines (after a line in the Siouxsie and the Banshees song "Arabian Knights"), with a line-up of Meriel Barham (vocals), Anderson (guitar, vocals), Berenyi (guitar, vocals), Steve Rippon (bass guitar) and Chris Acland (drums). Their influences were diverse; they were inspired by the garage rock scene of the Nuggets series, Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Beach Boys and the Byrds.		1:41:45 (Pop-up)

He was one of the founding members of California Institute of the Arts, where he taught for many years. Waveshaper Media, the makers of 2014's acclaimed modular synthesizer documentary "I Dream Of Wires," has just released a new, official bio-documentary about this most influential composer and electronic musician. Through a series of candid interviews and illuminating conversations with key figures from his past and present, "Subotnick" will provide an overview of this fascinating composer’s rich life and uncompromising career.		1:50:50 (Pop-up)
Cocteau Twins	Aikea-Guinea "Aikea-Guinea" by "Cocteau Twins"	Aikea-Guinea EP	4AD	1984	After nearly 20 years together, the band disbanded in 1997 in part due to issues stemming from the disintegration of Fraser and Guthrie's romantic relationship. In 2005, the band announced that they would reunite to headline Coachella Festival and embark on a world tour but the reunion was cancelled a month later after Fraser refused to perform on stage with Guthrie. In a 2021 interview, Raymonde confirmed that Cocteau Twins "will never reform".		1:58:43 (Pop-up)

	8:22pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ Song: "Human Cannonball" by "Butthole Surfers" I feel like I am a human cannonball in a detention center right now. This long weekend will be needed!
	8:23pm Alli B: Playing bum drums on Nora to this tune
	8:25pm laurapanic: Those Canadians. Dropping in a "driving back from Niagara Falls" like they do it every weekend. And maybe they do. Or is it like the idea that I have kangaroos going down my street.....
	8:26pm laurapanic: ↳ Alli B @8:23 I reckon Nora is a .....dog? They love bum drums
	8:26pm Robm: @Babs thank god for internet only streaming
	8:27pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ laurapanic @8:25 Lol I’m listening from Niagara Falls right now (not really but I could drive there before this show ends).
	8:27pm Alli B: Yes is a dog, yes 😂 Loves the bum drums!
	8:27pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:25 Toronto is actually very close to Niagara Falls... An hour & a half away... It takes me longer to get halfway around the city sometimes!
	8:28pm Robm: i hate illinois nazis
	8:28pm Alli B: Illinois nazis are their own category for sure
	8:29pm Robm: ↳ Alli B @8:28 remember that line from the blues brothers
	8:31pm ultradamno: That kind of came up because of the Skokie march controversy...have they done much since? They kind of come off as one trick ponies now.
	8:31pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @8:31 nope haven’t heard anything
	8:37pm DJ Babs: Hi YPB!!!
	8:38pm DJ Babs: Aww Nora is our official Echo Beach puppers!!!
	8:39pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:25 lol it was my first time at the falls in ages. We had such a good time! We saw the supermoon rise above the falls and it was brilliant!
	8:39pm Mr Fab: Hey gang! Dang, I thought I read that you were interviewing Omar Sharif, and I was like WHAT?!
	8:40pm DJ Babs: Mr Fab that would be a stretch for sure
	8:41pm ultradamno: It would require a medium, for a start
	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Your Pretend Boyfriend @8:22 This week off was SO NEEDED
	🏝 8:42pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 did you do any awesome things in Niagara?
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @8:39 Ha! Well, technically his dad had to change his name upon immigration, so we sort of are!
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ Your Pretend Boyfriend @8:22 We also went to some wineries and I was very disappointed by all the wines I consumed. I just can’t do new world wineries.
	8:44pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:42 Sounds like a fun adventure. So happy you enjoyed except for the not so great wines.
	8:44pm ultradamno: Bryan Fuller has made me associate the falls with inanimate animals giving orders to people
	8:47pm laurapanic: Love all the Niagara insights, folks.
	8:48pm DJ Babs: They also do fireworks every night over the falls and they were fantastic! It’s so cool seeing them lit up at night too!
	8:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:42 We went to two wineries, wandered about, I did some antique shopping…bought a fur hat lol We had dinner at the Table Rock resto and it was fantastic. So cute seeing some newlyweds there
	8:50pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: CD Bar and Republic Records were great!!! David was wonderful to chat with too. Spent many hours there.
	8:51pm DJ Babs: *the fur hat is vintage not new!
	8:51pm DJ Babs: ↳ Your Pretend Boyfriend @8:50 I figured you might have!!!!
	8:52pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:48 We’ve never seen the fireworks. Sounds cool.
	8:53pm DJ Babs: They had a cool display it was much grander than I thought it would be!
	🏝 8:53pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @8:50 that sounds good! i havent been back to niagara in a while.
	8:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Babs @8:42 What do you think of California wineries? We got a poop-load of em.
	8:58pm laurapanic: love this track
	9:00pm laurapanic: oh that label name origin story!!!

	9:05pm laurapanic: love this deep discussion of shoegaze. Miki Berenyi's new work is absolutely terrific.
	🏝 9:05pm Scott_Oz: First day of Spring today too! Must be why I did some pushups this week? Gotta get my bikini body back! ☀️👙😎🤙
	🏝 9:07pm Scott_Oz: Shoe Gaze Lifer, must be bad for the neck? 🩻

	9:09pm Jess: Hello, all!!
	9:10pm DJ Babs: Hello hello Jess welcome!!!
	9:10pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @9:05 Ooooh you’ve heard it!? I must explore!!!
	9:13pm Jess: Loving this tonight. Finally staying up late to join you all. To hell with my early bedtime tonight!! Friyay tomorrow.
	9:13pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @9:10 yeh Piroshka is really good.
	9:14pm laurapanic: god I love shoegaze
	9:15pm laurapanic: another "modern" shoegaze I love is Cheatahs - though they haven't been active for about 7yrs. I have several EPs/LPs
	🏝 9:15pm Kristine: i like kiwi sauv blancs
	9:16pm Jess: ↳ Kristine @9:15 That sounds yummy!
	9:19pm laurapanic: thanks for this interview, everyone. Its terrific.
	9:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Jess @9:13 Hello Jess, so happy to hear you are loving this, thanks for being here!
	9:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:19 Thanks Laura, so happy to hear you enjoyed the interview. It's been lovely here w/ Omar...!
	🏝 9:21pm Kristine: butterfly sanctuaries sounds really freaky
	9:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Waterfall" by "Jimmy Cliff" i have to admit, i've never heard this jimmy cliff. in fact, i had to double check to see if it was actually jimmy cliff, as it sounds rather different then his later stuff...
	9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Waterfall" by "Quintron" i saw miss pussycat & quintron in a crumbling house party in e willamsburg in 2006, i think we had maybe 50 people packed into there... /can't wait until i'm back in brooklyn...
	9:27pm Jess: Wooohooo live this 😻
	9:27pm laurapanic: the reggae reference reminded me I recently watched the movie "Rockers" (1978) I think I found it on youtube. Its an incredible movie about Jamaica and the music scene. Its a drama, not a doco. Very indie/budget - much like the music itself.
	9:31pm DJ Babs: ↳ Jess @9:27 That's awesome Jess!!!! so glad you are enjoying!!!
	9:31pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:25 I agree! I was like "WHAT" it's super charming and lovely tho!!
	9:31pm laurapanic: OK I love Kim Gordon. But this factoid about the lyrics is EVERYTHING
	9:31pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Waterfall" by "Liiek" I don't know if I mentioned this here last week, but since BC Friday is in a matter of hours, new release for Liiek side project Ostseetraum mangelrecords.bandcamp.com...
	9:32pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:27 They played often here in toronto, I got to open for them once!!!
	9:32pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:21 I suppose the argument could be made that a butterfly sanctuary is freaky... Though I just looked up what a group of butterflies are called... "A group of butterflies is a kaleidoscope. They’re also known as a swarm, flutter, flight, swarm, rabble, or a wing of butterflies."
	9:32pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ laurapanic @9:31 I never knew this factoid.
	9:32pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:21 NO butterfly sanctuaries are AMAZING. I urge everyone to go. We did see some that had died tho and that was sad. But the rest seemed VERY happy!!
	9:34pm laurapanic: ↳ Your Pretend Boyfriend @9:32 me neither!
	9:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Drunken Butterfly" by "Sonic Youth" I faved this SY on Charlie's Busy Doing Nothing 8 years ago..
	🏝 9:35pm Scott_Oz: The Cure for something you never knew you had!
	🏝 9:35pm Kristine: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:32 a kaleidoscope? neat! all i see are a bunch of colourful moths. but butterflies like monarchs i guess are beautiful. too many fluttering wings in an enclosed space for my personal taste tho :)
	🏝 9:36pm Kristine: god forbid i meet a drunken butterfly, that would freak me the f out!
	9:37pm northguineahills: Gainesville, FL has a giant wonderful butterfly garden w/ over a 100 species.. it's a fun place to hang (and it's next to the university's natural history museum).
	🏝 9:37pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Kristine @9:36 They're fine if you buy em a beer & listen to their story! 🍺🦋💫
	9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Misery Is A Butterfly" by "Blonde Redhead" ok, i'm going weep now.. /i listen to this song at least once a week
	9:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Misery Is A Butterfly" by "Blonde Redhead" they recorded this after Kazu was in a car accident, which slashed her face made it hard to hit her pitches again. She took a year of vocal lessons just to get her voice back, and the note she hits at the end here is the end result (i know people close to them)...
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:39 NGH, thank-you so much for this extra insight... This song is so poignant & heart wrenching... Having this added context about the vox lessons & final note makes it all the more astounding!
	9:42pm northguineahills: LUSH!!!!
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:32 wish i was there!
	9:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Sweetness and Light" by "Lush" I still have to grab Miki's book. It is supposed to be excellent
	9:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:37 everyone has a story, don't they Scott!
	9:44pm DJ Babs: I am DJing on the fly here so thank you all for keeping our chat going!!!
	9:45pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @9:44 perfect, BabS! Freeform radio to the core!!
	🏝 9:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @9:44 Some have several, some just have the same one, over & over, & over........ 😉
	9:50pm northguineahills: nahhhh, i'm stone cold sober!
	9:51pm ultradamno: I've got one of these waxworkrecords.com...
	9:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sweetness and Light" by "Lush" in HS, i made a Lush tee-shirt from playing w/ the images of the Gala cover...
	9:52pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 woah!
	9:56pm northguineahills: thanks babs and derek!
