The Time Keepers | Febrary 29th | A Song For Every Day of the Year | Eric Greenland | 2015 | It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to orbit the Sun — a solar year. We usually round the days in a calendar year to 365. To make up for the missing partial day, we add one day to our calendar approximately every four years. That is a leap year. | 0:00:00 (Pop-up) | |

Our Universe Is Not silent Despite space being a vacuum, it doesn't imply the absence of sound within it. Sound does exist in space, manifesting as electromagnetic vibrations. Almost all types of astronomical objects emit radio waves, with the most potent sources being pulsars, nebulae, quasars, and galaxies. These radio waves can be captured by a specially designed instrument known as an astronomical interferometer, capable of converting them into frequencies within the human hearing range (20 - 20,000 Hz). Probes like Voyager and Hawk-Eye are among many that record these space sounds. |

SpizzEnergi | Where's Captain Kirk? | Where's Captain Kirk 7" | Cherry Red Records | 1980 | Spizzenergi are an English punk/new wave band led by vocalist/guitarist Spizz. Formed in the late 1970s, the band changed its name every year, subsequent names including Athletico Spizz 80, Spizzoil and the Spizzles. They are notable as the first band to top the newly created UK Indie Chart early in 1980 with the single "Where's Captain Kirk?" More than two decades after its release, it was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time. When I awoke from the dangers of space I looked and I saw a familiar face The time warp in space made a change in me For I was the Captain and the Captain was me Yes it's so true As we went Warp Factor 2 The changes I had been through As Captain Kirk I'm Captain Kirk (As Captain Kirk) (As Captain Kirk) | 0:03:41 (Pop-up) | |
Gang of Four | Outside The Trains Don't Run On Time | Solid Gold | Parlophone | 1981 | Gang of Four's music brought together an eclectic array of influences, ranging from the Frankfurt School of social criticism to the increasingly clear trans-Atlantic punk consensus.[citation needed] Gang of Four was named by Andy Corrigan, a member of the Mekons, while driving around with Gill and King when he came upon a newspaper billboard on the intra-Party coup against China's "Gang of Four". Fun Fact: By adding a leap day every four years, we actually make the calendar longer by over 44 minutes. Over time, these extra 44+ minutes would also cause the seasons to drift in our calendar. For this reason, not every four years is a leap year. The rule is that if the year is divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400, leap year is skipped. | 0:05:59 (Pop-up) | |
Boy Division | Transmission | Damaged Goods | Glitterhous Records | 2012 | "Well I could call out when the going gets tough The things that we've learnt are no longer enough No language, just sound, that's all we need know To synchronize love to the beat of the show"...This most irreverent cover of Joy Division in true Boy Division style is fantastic. Founded by members of Hamburg-based projects Pornopop, Hrubesch Youth and Superpunk, Boy Division is "the other kind" of Coverband. Their main mandate was to be an ultimate party band...and be able to travel with all their gear in a car. Also My Chemical Romance can go to hell for stealing their name for a song. | 0:09:15 (Pop-up) | |
Cyril Cyril | La Rotation de L'axe | La Rotation de L'Axe Single | Born Bad Records | 2024 | Released just earlier this month this slick little piece of French post punk arrives courtesy of Cyril Cyril. Cyril Yeterian is the former singer and accordion player for Swiss, Cajun blues outfit Mama Rosin. A three-piece that stirred the ghosts of the rogue bayou, the clammy Mardi Gras of some electric Louisiana, releasing 4 albums before they went their separate ways in 2015. As well as his career in making and recording music, Yeterian is also one of the owners of Swiss record label, record store and global taste makers Bongo Joe Records. The title of this translates to "Rotation of the Axis" Fun fact: The reason there’s any such thing as Leap Day at all is because of the physics of planet Earth, specifically the angle of the axis it spins which is slightly off and affects the rotation time. | * | 0:11:05 (Pop-up) |
Discodeine ft. Jarvis Cocker | Synchronize | Synchronize - Radio Edit | DFA | 2010 | There could be nothing simpler, nor fairer-spoken, than his celebration of stop-motion romance at the discotheque in "Synchronize." I mean that sentimentally, for in lyrics of familiar pastoral nuance there's a humble poeticism about the places of "organised noise" he refers to. Wristwatches stop as they fall to the floor, hearts beat with the drums and the hands of time are simply yours held in mine. As Cocker mounts an idyll of clubland courtship in words, the duo of Pilooski and Pentile, AKA Discodeine, set it in musical motion with a string ensemble so absorbingly histrionic it absolutely eclipses any would-be tweeness of the electro-pop style in which it's conceived. NASA says that over time, our seasons would fall out of order without the leap day. And not just a little...a LOT. Without them, the summer season we generally experience in June would happen in December 700 years from now. So once every four years...we synchronize! | 0:14:32 (Pop-up) | |
Midnight Juggernauts | This New Technology | The Crystal Axis | Siberia Records | 2010 | One of the best and most undersung bands of the early 2000's was Australia's Midnight Juggernauts. The band has been described as anything from 'prog dance meets cosmic film scores', to 'slasher-flick disco' to 'deadpan landscape'. I liken them to sexy space rock. They have supported the likes of M83, Justice, Holy Fuck, Tame Impala and The Klaxons..but they just never got the traction they deserved. They have remained inactive since 2014 as a band. | 0:18:14 (Pop-up) | |

Sebadoh | Leap Year | Act Surprised | Dangerbird | 2019 | "Act Surprised is the ninth studio album by American indie rock band Sebadoh. It is the band's first album in six years. The album was released on May 24, 2019. The album has seven songs each by Lou Barlow and Jason Loewenstein and one by Bob D’Amico." -- This song is the Bob D'Amico one. -- "Sebadoh formed in 1986 in Northampton, Massachusetts, by Eric Gaffney and Lou Barlow, with multi-instrumentalist Jason Loewenstein completing the line-up in 1989. Barlow co-created Sebadoh as an outlet for his songwriting when J. Mascis gradually took over creative control of Dinosaur Jr., in which Barlow plays bass guitar. //// Along with such bands as Pavement, Beat Happening and Guided by Voices, Sebadoh helped pioneer a lo-fi style of indie rock characterized by low-fidelity recording techniques that employed four-track cassette tape machines. The band's early output, such as The Freed Man and Weed Forestin' (both released 1990), as well as Sebadoh III (1991), was typical of this style. Following the release of Bubble & Scrape in 1993, Gaffney left the band. His replacement and erstwhile stand-in, Bob Fay, appeared on Bakesale (1994) and Harmacy (1996), but was fired before the sessions for the band's major label release The Sebadoh (1999), featuring drummer Russ Pollard. //// The band then went on a 14-year recording hiatus, during which time members pursued other projects while occasionally touring as Sebadoh. The group, fronted by Barlow and now featuring drummer Bob D'Amico, returned in 2012 with the Secret EP and, in 2013, a full-length album titled Defend Yourself, which were both self-recorded. The album Act Surprised followed in 2019." | 0:31:06 (Pop-up) | |
The Stranglers | Outside Tokyo | Black and White | United Artists | 1978 | "Black and White is the third studio album by the Stranglers. It was released on 12 May 1978, through record label United Artists in most of the world and A&M in America. As with the Stranglers' first two albums, Black and White was produced by Martin Rushent." This song has to do with the invention and possible end of time, perhaps as related to wristwatch making outside of Tokyo. In any event, it fits into our theme of expanding & disappearing time, such as that which the month of February provides. | 0:34:17 (Pop-up) | |
The Homesick | Leap Year | The Big Exercise | Sub Pop | 2020 | The Homesick are from Dokkum, Netherlands. Their second album "The Big Exercise brings... ...more grounded, tangible pastures. With its title ripped from a passage in the Scott Walker-biography Deep Shade Of Blue, the record is a concentrated effort by Jaap van der Velde, Erik Woudwijk and Elias Elgersma to explore the physicality of their music in fresh ways. //// “When we were on tour in 2018, I bought Meredith Monk’s Dolmen Music in Switzerland,” Van der Velde recalls, “Elias and I have been completely immersed in her music ever since. But also the work of Joan La Barbara for example, who also did things with extended vocal techniques, that was also quite vital to us. We discovered that the human voice offers so many beautiful elements that can still feel very physical and intrusive.” //// During those formative years, the Dutch trio was often typecast as your resident tricksters. Hailing from the backwater Frisian municipality of Dokkum, Van der Velde, Woudwijk and Elgersma shrewdly courted spirituality under their own nonconformist whims, even if that wasn’t immediately obvious to outsiders. For those on the outside looking in, it was hard to tell whether the band was taking the piss or genuinely unraveling themselves as starry-eyed romantics."

Wire | A Mutual Friend | 154 (Special Edition) | Havest / Pink Flag | 1979 / 2018 | Opening song for side 2 of Wire's 1979 third full-length LP "154". "The test was written by Lewis. 'It was an attempt to take the cliché of 'moon in June' to its most logical extreme. A lyric in which every month of the year is marshalled to perhaps serve some poetic ideal', he says with a chuckle." ... Newman is quick to recognise the quality of the text: 'I remember I really loved Graham's lyric. And I thought this is something I want to make a really special effort for' //// The recording of the multiple vocal lines took Newman and Thorne a number of days and was reportedly the source of much frustration on the part of Gilbert and Lewis at the time. But it is this subtly layered vocal arrangement that truly elevates this recording, and when Newman's wordless backing vocals enter at 03:30, the song is finally lifted into the realm of the sublime." --- End lyrics "In March, April May and June / July August, September, soon / He might replace the old with the moon / It could be October / November, or even December / So in January and February, remember / He might replace the old with the moon / He might replace the old quite soon" | 0:40:51 (Pop-up) | |
The Fall | Calendar | Masquerade Single | Artful | 1998 | The one collaboration between The Fall & Damon Gough, AKA Badly Drawn Boy. (Or, as Mark E Smith called him in a song shortly thereafter, "Badly Bug Drawn".) Also, 1998 marked the last of (then) long-time Fall stalwarts Steve Hanley & Karl Burns. Does this song address the concept of time slippage? Possibly. It's a favourite motif of Smith's (and Science Fiction in general). The final lyrics: "The last - three weeks - were the great month of February / Calendar" Happy Leap Year... You won't see this day again for years... From Annotated Fall: "A song co-written with Damon Gough, otherwise known as "Badly Drawn Boy," who plays guitar on the version of the track on the "Masquerade" single. The song began its life as an instrumental by the latter called "Tumbleweed." Martin has found the following information on the web page of Badly Drawn Boy's booking agent: "After releasing two EPs, Gough's future was graced with a series of fortuitous moments. The first of these came in December 1997 when Mark E Smith mistakenly took Gough's car for a taxi outside a Manchester bar. Smith demanded a lift home and Gough obliged, but only after they agreed that the Fall would record a Badly Drawn Boy song called 'Tumbleweed.'" //// Legend has it that when Smith lurched out of the back seat he left his false teeth behind. //// It has been suggested that the lyrics are a complaint directed at the record company; hard to say. Harley recalls an interview "around the time of Calendar complaining about months passing by while record companies get their act together to release a completed record - and that's the first thing that came to mind when I heard the song. I've never tracked down the interview, but he was still making the same point in 2011: Back inside and with fresh drinks, I ask whether they had to turn around the album quickly to meet his self-imposed Christmas deadline? 'No, it was quite a long process, for me, really. Started about April, so about three or four months. The main thing was to get it out before Christmas. Which is sacrilege in the music business because you can’t bring out things then because there’s a Christmas rush. "Best Hits of Robbie Williams" or whatever, so the factories are all clogged up with crap...People just look at you: "We need six months to do it. We need six weeks to develop the marketing." All this shit. "We need six weeks to do the marketing, six weeks to do the interneting." Can’t you just get the fucking thing out?'"" | 0:45:27 (Pop-up) | |

So I just say to hell with this! You have the writing in the bible, which will be my blessing, “A troop shall press upon Gad, but he shall overcome in the last" There is not much biographical information available, but it seems that Samuel Philips may have emigrated to Toronto at one point. | 0:47:06 (Pop-up) | |
The Diodes | Time Damage | The Diodes | Columbia | 1977 | The closing track from their eponymous debut full-length. "The Diodes are a Canadian punk rock band formed in 1976 in Toronto. They released five albums: Diodes (1977), Released (1979), Action-Reaction (1980), Survivors (1982), and Time/Damage Live 1978 (2010). They were one of the first Canadian bands to embrace this style of music and helped to foster the original core Punk scene in Toronto. //// The Diodes formed in October 1976 at OCAD University after a chance meeting between members. They played their first gig supporting Talking Heads in January 1977. The band, along with their manager Ralph Alfonso, went on to open Canada's first punk nightclub, the Crash 'n Burn, in June 1977. Many of the city's founding punk bands played in this iconic venue. The first groups to play the club were The Nerves, on a bill with The Diodes. Other international bands performing at the Crash 'n Burn included The Dead Boys. The club, which was housed in The Diodes' basement rehearsal space, was closed at the end of the summer of 1977, due to complaints by the Liberal Party of Ontario (the principal tenants of the building). The Crash 'n Burn was the subject of a movie by experimental filmmaker Ross McLaren, Crash 'n' Burn. Footage of the club also exists in the CBC Television archives because it was the subject of a TV special in 1977. //// The band put out their first record in summer 1977, a single featuring Bruce Eves and Amerigo Maras of the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC), an avant garde, performance art collective and gallery. Mickey Skin of the all-girl punk band The Curse spews profanities on one side, The Diodes provide musical backing with Paul Robinson counting down the spoken intervals, on the other. It was released on the Crash 'n' Burn label. One side was called "Raw", the other "War". It is considered one of the first punk records to come out of Canada. The single was actually part of an issue of the CEAC Newsletter (published by CEAC, the owners of the building that housed the Crash 'n' Burn club). //// The Diodes played CBGBs in New York in July 1977 supporting The Cramps as part of a Toronto punk bill featuring The Viletones, Teenage Head, The Curse, The B Girls and The Dents. They signed to Columbia Records in Canada shortly afterward in August 1977, releasing their self-titled debut album The Diodes in October 1977. The release was produced by Bob Gallo and was accompanied by a single with two tracks from the LP. The A-side of the single featured a punk-rock deconstruction of the Cyrkle's sixties hit "Red Rubber Ball". The LP also included a cover of the Max Frost & The Troopers' "Shape of Things to Come" done in a similar style, along with eight original tunes written by the band. It was domestically released in Europe and Australia, however it was overlooked in the US and UK, where it was import only." | 0:49:41 (Pop-up) | |

Madness | Tomorrow's Just Another Day | Tomorrow's Just Another Day 7" | Stiff Records | 1983 | "Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)" is a song by British band Madness from their fourth album The Rise & Fall. It spent 9 weeks in the UK charts, peaking at # 8 in February 1983. The single version is a slight remix of the album track. A slower, blues-style version of the song, with Elvis Costello on vocals. The lyrics reflect a sense of weariness and hopelessness, with the protagonist feeling like they have given their best but still can't find peace. The repeated phrase "Tomorrow's just another day" can be seen as both a pessimistic and optimistic viewpoint. On one hand, it implies that each new day brings more of the same struggles and weariness. On the other hand, it suggests that there is hope for improvement and that things might get better with time. | 1:15:19 (Pop-up) | |

The Jesus And Mary Chain | Girl 71 | Glasgow Eyes | Fuzz Club | 2024 | The third advanced preview of The Jesus And Mary Chain's forthcoming "Glasgow Eyes" album; the album was originally slated to be released March 8, but due to vinyl production delays they’re pushing that date back a couple weeks to March 22. "Jim Reid spoke to Under the Radar recently and said of the album: “It will be a bit different; it’s quite experimental and electronic. Not so much that you won’t recognize it as the Mary Chain, but yeah, we messed about with the sound a bit.” //// Jim Reid had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “Don’t expect ‘the Mary Chain goes jazz.’ People should expect a Jesus and Mary Chain record, and that’s certainly what Glasgow Eyes is. Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984—just hit the studio and see what happens. We went in with a bunch of songs and let it take its course. There are no rules; you just do whatever it takes. And there’s a telepathy there—we are those weird, not-quite twins that finish each other’s sentences.”" | * | 1:32:01 (Pop-up) |
Jah Wobble | SOO 135 | A Brief History Of Now | Cleopatra Records | 2023 | Released Aug 4, 2023... "Does this man ever stop working? More or less fulltime on the road with his current iteration of Invaders of the Heart, with side projects aplenty squeezing into that already crammed tour schedule, yet still whipping out little nuggets of “something I prepared earlier”. Like this. You may 2022’s Metal Box: Rebuilt In Dub, actually from the year before, his revisiting of the magisterial Public Image Limited outing of 1979, in which he, together with guitarist, Jon Klein (Siouxsie & the Banshees et al), reassembled a bevy of tracks from the original, casting it in a very idiosyncratically Wobble light, at best barely remisniscent of the original, but gloriously complementary. I guess it followed on a 2012 tour by Wobble and the late Keith Levene, the original PIL guitarist, Metal Box: Built In Dub, You can catch the drift. Klein and Wobble have now reconvened to carry on the adventure, with, this time, new material. //// Subterranean bass introduces SOO 135, with, yes, Banshee-esque guitar, the thump of echoed drums probably Wobble’s own. An instrumental, there are sounds of alarms and sirens: the apocalypse is now. The sax tone here is 100% Nik Turner, which has me deliciously imagine a Wobble/Hawkwind collab, not least as modulators ring. A murky maelstrom that begs louder. I Am I Am I Am is a dubby construct, Klein’s guitar a sparse clip, Wobble near singing, words from the edge of the abyss. The near naked voice just about hangs on the skeletal backing, each uncertain of the responsibility to carry the eeriness onward. The bass is hypnotic, as it should be. Fashion World then has a near orthodox structure, the sprechgesang touching the parts Ian Dury might have gone with this material. Fizzing guitar keeps it real, the focus pure post rock, post punk, call it what you will. And you will find yourself singing the “Hello , Hello” refrain, I guarantee" | 1:35:05 (Pop-up) | |

Damo Suzuki-era CAN show taped during a show at L'Olympia in Paris on May 12, 1973. This official release (on CAN's Spoon label, via Mute Records) followed two weeks after Suzuki's Feb 8 2024 death. --- In keeping with our Leap Year extra-day theme, this track is, in fact, "One More Night", originally from 1972's Ege Bamyasi. Akin to how time expands in a Leap Year February, this live version extends the song by at least an additional 3 minutes.

The Cure | A Strange Day | Pornography | 1982 | “A Strange Day”, a song about, according to Robert Smith, “how I would feel if it would only be the end of the world”, is backed by the same driving force that appeared on “A Short Term Effect”, only this time it’s slightly slower. The drums and prominent bassline are also reminiscent of the band’s 1981 single, “Charlotte Sometimes”. Pornography is the fourth studio album by English rock band the Cure, released on 4 May 1982 by Fiction Records. Preceded by the non-album single "Charlotte Sometimes", it was the band's first album with new producer Phil Thornalley, and was recorded at RAK Studios from January to April 1982. It is considered a goth music masterpiece, and rightfully so! | 1:54:30 (Pop-up) |
