Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
Science Centre Choir	The Science Centre Song	The Science Centre	Science Center	1970	Planning for the Science Centre started in 1961 during Toronto's massive expansion of the late 1950s and 1960s. In August 1964, Premier of Ontario John Robarts announced the creation of the Centennial Centre of Science and Technology as a Centennial Project. Toronto architect Raymond Moriyama was hired to design the site. Construction started in 1966 with plans to open the Centennial Centre of Science and Technology as part of the Canadian Centennial celebrations in 1967, however it did not open its doors until 1969. It is a remarkable building and example of the brutalist style and even more importantly a place for hands on learning and community gathering. It is currently being closed and slated for demolition to build cheap shitty housing under the direction of our lousy Premier.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)

Big Bill	Throw It Away "Throw It Away" by "Big Bill"	Strawberry Seed	Spaceflight Records	2024	For more than a decade, Big Bill has reigned as one of Austin’s weirdest art-rock acts. Piling “angular, jarring, and adrenaline-fueled” riffs into a “cacophony of feverish, chaotic punk and absurdist humor,” as the Chronicle put it in 2018, the band united all freaks interested in the energy of the counterculture, if not the aggression. The band performs even more dynamically onstage, as singer Eric Braden leads his bandmates – dressed in matching tracksuits or coordinated primary colors...single “Throw It Away,” a frenetic blend of bouncy bass and snappy drums, perfects the band’s classic sound. As Braden laments his tendency to waste time by likening his life to a piece of rotting fruit...	*	0:03:40 (Pop-up)
Geography Of The Moon	Pick It Up (And Put It Down)	Pick It Up (And Put It Down)	Teenfreaks Music	2024	After three years which has seen the band relocate from Glasgow in the UK to the sunnier climes of Thailand, Indonesia and soon Japan, post punk poets Geography of the Moon return with a new single. Formed in London, UK, in 2016, Geography of the Moon is a collaboration between singer/pianist Virginia Bones and multi-instrumentalist /producer Andrea AKA Santa Pazienza. They thrive in the live environment and since the end of Covid restrictions this duo has clocked up over 450 gigs...and are the masterminds behind Teen Freaks label "Teen Freaks is a label, a platform for Geography and many other bands – there are some very interesting bands coming on. It originally started around 15 years ago, in the north of Italy, an alternative to there being too many cover bands playing everywhere. It’s called Teen Freaks because we’re all freaks, writing our music, good bands, bad bands, really good bands, really bad bands. During lockdown I thought why not revive it. Started to do a few events here and there using the name. Whatever I like I share it – I’m not a critic, it’s just my personal taste."	*	0:05:54 (Pop-up)
Marcel Wave	Where There's Muck There's Brass	Something Looming	Feel It Records	2024	Formed when Lindsay Corstorphine and Christopher Murphy of Sauna Youth and brethren Oliver and Patrick Fisher of Cold Pumas were summoned by northern ink-slinger Maike Hale-Jones, Marcel Wave’s debut offering is a walk through a smoke-filled pub with yellowing wallpaper and all eyes on you. It’s a chronicle of the death of the docklands, the decline of industry, of the high street, of civic pride, of civilisations, of hopes and dreams. As Hale-Jones delivers the bad news in her low, West Yorkshire brogue, Corstorphine adds the bells and whistles via the frantic pulsations of a wheezing Hohner organ in tandem with Fisher O’s rasping guitar. MW are completed by the throbbing basslines of Murphy and Fisher P’s fervent rhythms.	*	0:09:40 (Pop-up)

Lucid Waters	One Track Race "One Track Race" by "Lucid Waters"	One Track Race	Lucid Waters	2024	A tireless three piece band who crossed paths with each other while living in the ceramic city of stoke-on-trent. Formed during the pandemic they quickly found their own distinctive sound,interweaving inventive politically driven lyrics with jarring perspectives about the general anxieties of dull modern day existence. Consisting of Bassist Owen Davies (Manchester) Guitarist and vocalist Alec Playford, (Stoke) & Drummer and vocalist Joshua Goodwin (Stoke) Who recently released their debut single ‘Are You Talkin’ To Me? gives a small taste of aggressive bass driven tracks with distorted melodic guitar tones delivering the message that this is just the beginning for the gang of three, and that there’s much more to come yet.		0:23:10 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark	Architecture & Morality	Architecture & Morality	Dindisc	1981	Architecture & Morality is the third studio album by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released on 6 November 1981 by Dindisc. Inspired by religious music, the group sought to broaden their musical palette by utilising elaborate choral samples, the Mellotron, and other new instruments to create a more naturalistic, emotive sound. The artwork was designed by longtime OMD collaborator Peter Saville, along with associate Brett Wickens, while its title was derived from the book Morality and Architecture by David Watkin.		0:25:47 (Pop-up)
No Teeth	Snooker Wound "Snooker Wound" by "No Teeth"	Decadence In Breeding	Post Post Music	2024	Released June 1, 2024. The full album is now fully released in all its fullness... I had expected great things from a song called "Snooker Wound" & this track does not disappoint. No Teeth refer to themselves as a "Syndicate" and are from Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. Of the album, they helpfully offer up... "Still stewing in the fragmented stints of our nuisance, we attempted to muster up some inane prattle in order to finally pin down the terms of our rationale in it's absolution. With somewhat unsuccessful results. We scourged the earth, hoarding heinous facts from the real-life chauvinists only to then have the utter gall to claim them as our own. "The deafening crack of floggers whip, thieving strangles from a blue-faced loser, fucking a gift horse in the mouth jubilation in the face of tyranny, choosing to do the terrible act." But really it all came down to one thing• "Bad and nasty patter." our petulant faces lit up, thickened moons in the glow of such a mouthwatering epiphany. We knew we had it this time. Trapped in various corners and stick-em-ups. “The Money Shot!!!” It was dark, looming and vicious. We had seen it coming all along, mind you. The cataclysmic wreckage sprawled indefinitely across the room and beside the mess, we were cemented in history as the tyrants of decadence. " https://no-teeth.bandcamp.com/	*	0:33:43 (Pop-up)
NightjaR	Blood Red Dead (feat. Jason Williamson)	Mala Leche	Lewis Recordings	2024	Released June 21, 2024 //// "NightjaR is the project of Doves' Jimi Goodwin. Mala Leche sees features from Jason Williamson, Pan Amsterdam, Homeboy Sandman & more." "Blessing/curse. Division/unity. Love/hate. It’s in the context of a polarising 24-hour, digitised, globally connected world that NightjaR finds its wings. NightjaR being the nom-de-plume and smudged rainbow constellation of collaborative copy-and-paste sound-wrangling and hip-hop from Jimi Goodwin. Without social media. Without beyond-midnight transatlantic emails. Without finding the possibilities folded into Wi-Fi-routed claustrophobia, there would be no debut NightjaR album. But it’s here and it’s Mala Leche. //// Mala Leche (Spanish: Bad Milk) is 16 tracks of beats and bars, vocals provided by some of the hip-hop artists at the very top of his own, personal home listening lists and interludes that throw back and forth through eras and genres in sometimes playful, occasionally awakeningly abrasive styles. How did it all come together? //// “The good thing about social media is that it makes everyone available. Everyone has their contact details or their management’s contact details on their profiles. I could literally just email or DM someone.” //// Goodwin has form in this, his chosen arena. Anyone paying attention to his extra-curricular activities at the same time his ‘day job’ in the still-active Doves presented him a third UK No.1 album in 2020 will have noted his production, as Coup Diablo (“Bollocks, that name! I don’t know what I was thinking!”) on Pan Amsterdam’s Ha Chu album in the same year. Improbably connecting the nocturnal, lamp-lit laboratory vibe of a home studio at the foot of England’s Peak District with Miami, Florida, Goodwin and Pan Amsterdam linked up once again this time around, with the one-time jazz musician-turned rapper’s authoritative prose and trumpet gracing first single, Space Bar and album closer, Glove Department. //// Much like the basis for many of Mala Leche’s new-era collaborations, the two have never met in person, yet the creativity flowed easily through fibre optics and across time zones. //// “I like clever wordsmiths,” says Goodwin, “not just cusses and Pan is exactly that kind of artist. He’s The Don. Full respect to him, he got fed up with the jazz scene he was part of, frustrated by the bullshit. He’s gone and called it out and done his own thing. You’ve got to admire that.”... ...Closer to home, the unmistakable voice, meter and lyrical proclivities of Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson land, without ambiguity, on Blood Red Dead. With the peal of a repeating, distorted guitar lick and a single, grounding organ note, Williamson’s Nottinghamshire brogue is welcomed through a longstanding sense of mutual interest and respect. Of the same generation, compatible politics and frequently lost in a world of instant, all-too-public messaging, the pair are long-time acquaintances. //// “We’ve never met in person,” admits Goodwin, “but we’re on the phone to each other all the time. I was blown away by what he’s done on ‘Blood Red Dead’. It’s totally ‘him’. I admire people who are just like ‘fuck you!’ and working and living with that sense of conviction. Just people who can completely be themselves.” //// Much like Sleaford Mods, Doves or any band name, NightjaR is a useful alias in the process of Goodwin becoming, like Williamson, completely himself. After percolating over seven years and finally facing the prospect of going public, the name crept from corners of inspiration linked to both voodoo doctor Dr John’s unsettling, 1968 debut album, GRIS-gris and the bird of the same name. Nocturnal creatures camouflaged from discovery while roosting in the daytime, and ascending to mythical status for an ages-old reported ability to steal milk from goats, the enigmatic bird is a well-chosen totem to Mala Leche’s similar sense of post-dusk mystery.

Whitey	MON£Y $ONG (REMASTER) "MON£Y $ONG (REMASTER)" by "Whitey"	REMASTERED EDITION NOTHING IN MY POCKET BUT A HOLE LP	NO! LABEL / AMPLIFY MUSIC	2024	Supposedly the "Remastered Edition", but really, has there been another? Or is it new? Perhaps only Whitey knows for sure...

The Damned	Lovely Money (Extended)	Strawberries (Deluxe Edition)	Bronze / Sanctuary	1982 / 2005	In keeping w/ a brief Money/Gov't theme, here's a song from a 1982 single by The Damned, who apparently have been fantastic touring 1979's Machine Gun Ettiquette in 2024 (sadly we missed it). This song features spoken words by Victor Anthony Stanshall... "(born 21 March 1943, Shillingford, Oxfordshire, England – died 5 March 1995, London, England) was an English singer-songwriter, musician, author, poet and wit. First rising to fame as an integral member of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band in the late 1960's, Stanshall embarked on an idiosyncratic solo career when the Bonzos split up in 1970, astonishing in its variety and fertility but also broken up by long periods of inactivity as a consequence of his problems with alcoholism and depression. //// Perhaps his most famous creation was the saga of Rawlinson End, sprawling spoken-word pieces interspersed with original songs. The stories began with a relatively short track on the final Bonzo Dog Band album ‘Let’s Make Up and Be Friendly’ but grew into 20-minute pieces on the John Peel Show on BBC Radio 1, and resultant albums, from 1975 onwards. Depicting a world of English aristocracy that was part P.G. Wodehouse, part Mervyn Peake, they were a showcase for Stanshall’s intricate wordplay and surreal imagination, along with his mellifluous and elastic voice. //// Although Stanshall could be notoriously erratic and difficult to work with, he was involved in a number of collaborations with such artists as Robert Calvert, Eric Clapton, Keith Moon and Steve Winwood, and also created two solo albums notable for their varied musical styles and lyrics full of his perennial loves of rhyming slang, absurdist puns and tongue-twisters. //// After a period of creative resurgence in the late 1980's that saw a number of Rawlinson End sessions for John Peel and a West End staging of his musical play "Stinkfoot" (partly financed by Stephen Fry and Peter Gabriel), Stanshall’s drinking worsened in the 1990's and he perished in a fire at his flat in London on 5 March 1995, probably caused by an overturned lamp as he slept."		0:42:56 (Pop-up)
Crack Cloud	Blue Kite "Blue Kite" by "Crack Cloud"	Red Mile	Jagjaguwar	2024	The Canadian collective Crack Cloud describe themselves as art punks. They’ve been operating on a DIY level for many years — their Bandcamp stretches back to 2016 — but after increasing buzz for their last couple of albums, they’ve signed to Jagjaguwar for the next one. Crack Cloud recorded Red Mile between their hometown of Calgary and the outskirts of Joshua Tree, CA. The album is coming in July, and its lead single “Blue Kite” is out today. It’s got some notes of quirky ’80s new wave and sophistipop, but the lead vocal is pure punk. //////// The band’s Zach Choy shared a statement on the new LP, which evolves into a statement on the lead single and cover art: When we were recording the album Red Mile in the Mojave Desert, I spent nights reading about 20th century China. My grandparents migrated to Canada during Mao’s Great Leap Forward, and besides the photo albums and childhood memories, I have little basis for understanding their experience. Beginning in the late 80s there came to be a generation of Chinese filmmakers whose main subject was the depiction of life during the Cultural Revolution. The films from this time examine the growing pains of national identity, without the glorification that defined National cinema up until then. As the viewer with a degree of generational and cultural separation, I found an unusual sense of reprieve in the nuance of it all. And as our time drifted by in the desert, I continued to look inward. ///// The music of Red Mile came naturally, and of its own volition. The Mojave had an elemental effect. The seemingly never-ending labyrinth of touring into exhaustion that characterized preceding years. And the externalization of Crack Cloud’s mythology, displaced and dismantled as we’ve grown out of ourselves, constantly, creatively reborn, by virtue and design. This is how I would describe Red Mile, and more generally, the group’s freefall, nearly a decade in the making. So when close friend and collaborator Aidan Pontarini pitched the skydiving punk concept for the album cover, it resonated deeply. // Blue Kite was written with a cultural intersection in mind. In Canada in the early 00’s we grew up to Sum 41. Late night YTV. And the spectre of Woodstock 99. From the outside looking in: being in a punk band meant that you could be a jackass. Pick your nose on stage; play the drum like Energizer Bunny. My relationship to punk music as a teenager hinged on self-deprecation; an easy, destructive mode of confronting what I didn’t like about myself. And what I didn’t understand about the world around me. // There’s a film that came out of China in 1993 and was subsequently banned therein, called The Blue Kite. It’s told from the perspective of a boy growing up in 1950’s Beijing. His environment is one of social conformity and political correctness, and he relishes in escapism when flying his kite. Eventually the boy succumbs to the social climate, and the kite itself is swept away into the branches of a tree. I thought the imagery was striking and wanted to incorporate it into a video with Aidan’s skydiving punk, in a hypnagogic way. // We filmed the video in and around the Desert where the album was recorded, and the skydiving took place.

Music behind DJ: Jgarrett	The Renoviction "The Renoviction" by "Jgarrett"	The Shuttered EP	Resilient Recordings	2020	"Vancouver, Canada-based producer and performer JGarrett (aka Josh Garrett) forged his love of techno deep in the warehouses and industrial spaces of Detroit alongside the rise of the North American underground party scene in the early mid-90s. His earliest live sets were performed at a long-gone night in Detroit's Cass Corridor. Over the years Josh has released a variety of styles of techno on a number of imprints. n 2012 Josh started the Subspec Music label and focused most of his efforts on his JGarrett project... sharpening the harder edged, Detroit-inuenced techno and fusing it with a heavier industrial backbone. Over the last several years Josh's prole has grown as he as received solid support from many important, top-tier DJs and artists in the international techno community. JGarrett's sound continues to bridge propulsive abstraction and handmade grooves to deliver full-strength, uncompromising music."		0:56:01 (Pop-up)
Shadow In The Cracks	Timeless "Timeless" by "Shadow In The Cracks"	Shadow In The Cracks	Goner Records	2015	Brothers Jim and Mike Blaha constitute 66.6% of Minneapolis’s best export this side of Target: The Blind Shake. Rounded out and beaten forward by co-founder Dave Roper, the trio exercises undeservedly antiquated practices, such as: (1) marrying quality-control with a hyper-prolific release and touring schedule; (2) allowing the resultant discography to boast an uncommon variety and scope; (3) what might be the best live show in contemporary garage-punk / related underground; and (4) appropriating garage-punk, class-of-1990 noise-rock and blunt-force post-punk, out of which emerges a largely proprietary mountain of scuzz-pop menace.		1:04:54 (Pop-up)

The Garden	Filthy Rabbit Hole "Filthy Rabbit Hole" by "The Garden"	Filthy Rabbit Hole	Vada Vada	2024	I fucking love this band. Two twin brothers banging out thrashers interspersed with hooks both menacing and heartbreaking. On the track, the duo shared that it “recalls being so drenched in the past that you lose your footing and forget in the present day.” The duo are currently in the midst of a US tour before heading to Europe for a run of headline shows and an appearance at Outbreak Festival. This August, they play in Honolulu Chicago, New York and Los Angeles for headline dates in November. The band was Formed by twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears in 2011, The Garden slowly but surely amassed a devoted fanbase, playing countless shows and embarking on DIY tours across the United States.

Century Palm	Reset Reaction "Reset Reaction" by "Century Palm"	Meet You	Deranged Records	2017	Century Palm are a now sadly, defunct band from Toronto. Not content to simply combine influences, Century Palm glide across genre boundaries, drawing upon myriad times and places: Gary Numan, Wire, Neu!, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Brian Eno’s pop records, and contemporary sounds from the Australian post-punk sub-terrain. Century Palm frequently employ minimal but propulsive rhythms in service of intoxicating melodies. Songs shiver, pulsate and glisten, losing none of the essential energy of members’ previous projects (Zebrassieres, Ketamines, The Drearies, Sudden Infant Dance Syndrome) while adding new worlds of texture and feeling. There’s a fascinating tension, a palpable struggle between their inner selves and their music that demands to be heard.		1:14:51 (Pop-up)
Reymour	On A Pulse "On A Pulse" by "Reymour"	On A Pulse Single	Knekelhuis	2024	Reymour packed their bags in the pre-Alps of Switzerland and left to start a new life in Bruxelles and create songs built from chansons, synthpop and cute minimal wave. Luc Bersier’s wide musical spectrum reaches great heights while staying small. He creates the musical bedrock on which Reymour’s cabinet of musical curiosities rests, allowing us to drift away on the unctuous fumes of Lou’s vocals. On these tracks she covers a wide array of feelings, of doubt, sexual orientation, play and melancholia. And it all comes together in the reflection of life.	*	1:17:18 (Pop-up)
The Mad Walls	I Tell You How I Feel	Have You Heard The News?	Big Potato Records	2024	Brand new music to absolutely LOVE! The Mad Walls evolved from the personal recording project of Los Angeles singer/songwriter and guitarist Christopher Mercado in 2016. With the addition of drummer Johnathan Martin and bassist Nicole Smith, the trio began making music that reflects their shared influences, from the sonic pioneers of 1960s psychedelia to the bands that have kept the spirit alive, including The Pink Floyd, The Electric Prunes, The Velvet Underground, and Radiohead. Literary inspiration from George Orwell to Kurt Vonnegut (Cat’s Cradle and Player Piano in particular) also help shape the vision of Christopher's songs. Blending styles and adding new dimensions in their frenetic pursuit of mind-melting music, The Mad Walls have honed their craft with continual live performances, joining some of the most notable contemporary psych bands on stage at venues throughout Los Angeles and beyond.	*	1:20:40 (Pop-up)

Memorials	Acceptable Experience "Acceptable Experience" by "Memorials"	Acceptable Experience - single	Fire Records	2024	"MEMORIALS, the duo consisting of Verity Susman and Matthew Simms (previously of Electrelane and Wire), release their debut single ‘Acceptable Experience’ on Fire Records on 17th June. Fresh from a run of live dates across Australia earlier this month, they are preparing for the release of their debut album due out later this year. ///// ‘Acceptable Experience’ is built on two interlocked bass lines, dancing Farfisa riffs and layered tape loops. It describes a fate of unrealised plans, missed boats and dashed hopes as life changes course and spirals away beyond control: “Expect so much and receive so few returns, it’s a long running curse”. ////// Filled with the freedom of Sun Ra, powered by soulful, groove-based basslines, drawing on the tape experiments of Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire and The Radiophonic Workshop and threaded through with infectious melodies, MEMORIALS sit comfortably alongside Broadcast, Portishead, Arthur Russell, The Velvet Underground, Yo La Tengo and Tortoise. ///// As multi-instrumentalists they have honed their sound for live shows as a duo, juggling instruments in a set-up resembling that of a 5-piece band and live looping on a reel-to-reel tape machine. ///// Following their acclaimed 2023 soundtracks ‘Women Against The Bomb’ and ‘Tramps!’, a tour with Stereolab (they’ve been called “Stereolab’s evil twin”) and a new music commission from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Verity Susman and Matthew Simms have arrived at MEMORIALS in reverse, escaping their cinematic day jobs to channel the spirit of free jazz, creating cosmic journeys into psychedelic rock, far-out folk and wild analogue electronics." https://memorialsmusic.bandcamp.com/"	*	1:33:25 (Pop-up)
Broadcast	Running Back To Me "Running Back To Me" by "Broadcast"	Spell Blanket: Collected Demos 2006-2009	Warp Records	2024	"Appropriately for a band whose enchanting music evokes memories that are at once familiar yet unknowable, Spell Blanket – Collected Demos 2006-2009 upturns everything we thought we knew about Broadcast during that final period. It fills in gaps we didn’t know were there, offers tantalising clues to their unfinished fifth album, and somehow ends up enhancing their mystique, despite laying all the cards on the table. Like opening a treasure chest and basking in the golden glow, Spell Blanket collects 36 demos and sketches from Keenan’s extensive archive of four-track tapes and MiniDiscs, recorded in the years after Tender Buttons, and which it’s assumed would have shaped the sound of their next record – all while they focused, as if in a parallel world, on the folk-horror experiments. It’s the first of two Broadcast archival releases this year by Warp; the second, Distant Call, due in the autumn, rounds up early demos of songs from the first three albums and will be the group’s final release. ////// Readers of Broadcast’s Future Crayon blog will know that, each September 28, Cargill posts a birthday tribute to Keenan, who was his partner. On a few of these occasions, he’s posted an unreleased Broadcast demo or audio clip, something that Keenan made. The first one he posted, in 2012, the year after her death, was a 40-second recording she made of herself, walking outside, cheerfully singing a verse called “The Song Before The Song Comes Out”, almost making it up as she goes. It’s intimate and unaffected, presumably never intended for wider circulation, and it opens this collection, setting the tone for a wealth of material that sheds new light on Broadcast’s songwriting process and Keenan’s approach to lyrics, providing insight into her state of mind through the words she wrote. ////// What strikes you is the sheer variety of styles and textures that Keenan and Cargill were playing around with. It’s a shimmering patchwork of ideas and moments, some more realised than others, some beautiful, some stark, and in this sense, Spell Blanket follows on quite naturally from Berberian Sound Studio, itself a series of short film cues. Ranging in length from 30 seconds to close to four minutes, there’s enough potential material here for three or four albums, if only the demos could be worked on and completed – but that will never happen and, in any case, there’s a certain charm to the brevity and roughness of these recordings that fits Broadcast’s aesthetic. In just the first eight tracks, there’s spectral hymnal drone (“March Of The Fleas”), choral loops (“Greater Than Joy”) and flute-laced witch-folk (“Mother Plays Games”), followed by the fuzzy soft-focus psych of “Roses Red”, an irresistible minute of “Hip Bone To Hip Bone” and the heavy ritual groove of “Running Back To Me”. Elsewhere, we hear Keenan trying a technique on “Singing Game”, there’s a lush synth surge called “Dream Power”, and a killer cut titled “The Games You Play”. The whole thing is an abundance of riches that illustrates how versatile and special Broadcast could be." https://broadcast.bandcamp.com/	*	1:36:30 (Pop-up)
Beth Gibbons	For Sale "For Sale" by "Beth Gibbons"	Lives Outgrown	Domino Recording Co. Ltd.	2024	From Gibbons' debut solo album, released a good 30+ years into her career on May 19, 2024. Since we're playing 'For Sale', here's the review by The Financial Times: "One of the most distinctive voices of her generation is also among the least vocal. Not giving interviews and rarely releasing music, Portishead singer Beth Gibbons seems mysteriously attracted to silence, at least publicly. //// She first emerged 30 years ago with Portishead’s debut Dummy. It unveiled a novel sound, a mix of hip-hop and torch song in which Gibbons’ quavering high tones resembled the nervily agitated lines on a brain scan. It was labelled trip-hop, although the Bristol band were really sui generis. Only two further studio albums have followed. Lightning can be bottled, but not often. //// Portishead’s other members have kept busy with alternative projects, but Gibbons has been more reticent. There was a fine collaborative album in 2002 with Talk Talk’s Paul Webb. She sang in a recording of a Górecki symphony conducted by the composer Krzysztof Penderecki. Released in 2019, it proved she doesn’t lack courage as a vocalist. But she’s sparing in her appearances. //// Lives Outgrown is her debut solo record. Appearing as its maker approaches her sixties, it deals with subjects that rarely turn up in debut albums: mortality, menopause, the “burden of life” (as one song puts it). Gibbons sings slowly, moving at her own pace. The powerful sense of feeling in her voice isn’t magnified into melodrama by close-miking. Co-produced by James Ford, the music has a stark folk-rock skeleton, fleshed out by orchestral arrangements, percussive textures and atmospheric backing vocals. //// The detailing is profuse, but it serves a narrative purpose. “Floating on a Moment” opens with panting and ends with a children’s choir joining Gibbons in a refrain about living for the moment. “Lost Changes” combines whistling and humming, music at its most basic, with Pink Floyd-style universal grandeur. //// “For Sale” allegorises a world in which everything is for sale, with folk guitar, gypsy violin and jangling percussion like coins in a bag. “Just ask yourself, how would you want life to be?” Gibbons sings deliberately, choosing her words with care. This least glib of vocalists doesn’t break her silence without good reason. Lives Outgrown provides it." https://bethgibbons.net/	*	1:38:33 (Pop-up)
Mary Ocher	I am The Occupation (feat. Serafina Steer)	Your Guide to Revolution	Not On Label (Mary Ocher Self-relelased)	2024	"Mary Ocher ("Oh-chur" is a recording artist, performer, poet, director and visual artist. //// Ocher was born Mariya Ocheretianskaya on November 10, 1986 (Russian: Мария Очеретянская, Hebrew:מאריה אוצ'רטיאנסקי) in Moscow, Legally changed to Ocher at age 18. //// An only child to a voice- and puppet theater actor (of the Obraztsov theater) father and an unemployed engineer mother, both of Jewish/Ukrainian descent. Her family immigrated to Israel in 1991 at the height of the Gulf War, first to a kibbutz in Negev and several months later to Tel Aviv where she grew up and lived until the age of 20. //// She was forced to change her name to Miriam for several years while attending a religious Jewish school, from which she nearly got expelled. In false hope for scholarly artistic recognition, she continued on to a secular art high school to study film, which she then left, disillusioned with the education system at the beginning of the 12th grade to pursue music. //// Ocher's maternal grandmother, Julia's, late husband is the Russian-Jewish historian/author Natan Eidelman. Alix, Mary's father, was named after an SS officer who saved his father's life during WWII. Her mother, Elena took part in the mapping of the moon in the 1970s in Moscow. //// Acutely aware of the prevalent nationalistic narrative in her surrounding, along with early childhood experiences growing up a migrant in an acutely xenophobic environment, Mary's work was tinged with a political undertone from the very beginning." ----- Like most of her recordings... "The album is accompanied by a text...", this one, "...on survival for artists and other nonconformists titled "A Guide to Radical Living - A no nonsense guide to living comfortably with just enough, why wealth needs poverty and how not to play along" This text and others can be found on her website: https://www.maryocher.com/	*	1:42:58 (Pop-up)
Nadine Shah	Food For Fuel "Food For Fuel" by "Nadine Shah"	Filthy Underneath	Universal Music Operations Limited	2024	Released Feb 23, 2024. "It was the height of Covid when Nadine Shah lost her beloved mother, Heather – “the most beautiful person in the world” – to lung cancer. Unable to mourn properly or even have a normal funeral due to the strict restrictions in place, her world started to unravel. Her mental health plummeted. Lonely and trying to find her way forward in a “very bad marriage to a beautiful man”, she succumbed to addiction and almost ended it all. //// Almost three years on, she’s been through rehab, faced her demons, got divorced, moved back up north with her cat and had a visceral lesson in the power of forgiveness. She’s also channelled all that grief and rage and love and hope into a truly extraordinary album. //// A powerfully outspoken force in UK music, Shah already had a clutch of beautiful, impassioned, critically-acclaimed albums to her name. She was nominated for the Mercury Prize for 2017’s Holiday Destination, her brooding postpunk take on the refugee crisis, Islamophobia and how toxic politicians screw over working class communities. Her follow up, Kitchen Sink was equally incisive about the challenges and absurdity of being a 30-something woman. Yet Filthy Underneath is more visceral still, lyrically journeying through Shah’s pain and recovery – backed by the most soaring and vivid music she’s yet created. //// Filthy Underneath both processes Heather’s illness – on You Drive, I Shoot, “Doctors give you this, doctors give you that” and we ache with imminent loss – and, on See My Girl, elegises her. “Dimpled cheeks, Scandi beauty, we stand with held hands.” //// As she was dealing with her bereavement, Nadine Shah’s marriage was falling apart. She found her husband was unable to support her. “Isolated in grief” and overcome with rage, she turned to the numbing effects of alcohol and substances. She wasn’t leaving the house, even after Covid restrictions eased. “And then I decided that I was going to take my own life.” //// The eventual crisis is dramatised in snapshot details on album closer French Exit, named for the slang term for leaving a party without saying goodbye. “Blue polkadot top and matching trousers,” she sings. “Reapplied lipstick. A clown who counts the downers.” //// “Luckily,” Shah continues, “I was interrupted. And luckily, I had a really great bunch of people around me, who put me in a place where I needed to be and got me the recovery that I needed. //// “Now I’m able to function much better, as a better daughter, a better sister, a better auntie and a better partner to my current boyfriend. And yeah, things have gotten a lot better. But it was such a brutally awful time.” //// Nadine Shah ultimately spent eight weeks in rehab. “I had the best in their field looking after me, and helping me. I don’t think I would have gotten better unless I’d gone there,” she says. But it wasn’t just the staff that had a deep impact on her. Her fellow residents forced her to contemplate how we can forgive someone who’s done terrible things, even if that person is yourself." https://nadineshah.co.uk/	*	1:45:32 (Pop-up)
Rubber Oh	Bloodlust "Bloodlust" by "Rubber Oh"	Soil	Mr Medicine Records	2024	First track released from the forthcoming Sep 20, 2024 LP. --- Strangely, another act (the first being No Teeth) from "Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK" that has caught my ear & attention in these past few months. The reason I find it strange is because I hadn't considered Newcastle Upon Tyne too deeply before in the previous five decades of my life...

Music behind DJ: Jgarrett	Condominiums To The Horizon	The Shuttered EP	Resilient Recordings	2020	"Vancouver, Canada-based producer and performer JGarrett (aka Josh Garrett) forged his love of techno deep in the warehouses and industrial spaces of Detroit alongside the rise of the North American underground party scene in the early mid-90s. His earliest live sets were performed at a long-gone night in Detroit's Cass Corridor. Over the years Josh has released a variety of styles of techno on a number of imprints. n 2012 Josh started the Subspec Music label and focused most of his efforts on his JGarrett project... sharpening the harder edged, Detroit-inuenced techno and fusing it with a heavier industrial backbone. Over the last several years Josh's prole has grown as he as received solid support from many important, top-tier DJs and artists in the international techno community. JGarrett's sound continues to bridge propulsive abstraction and handmade grooves to deliver full-strength, uncompromising music."		1:54:48 (Pop-up)
P.E.	Lovers' Lane "Lovers' Lane" by "P.E."	Person	Wharf Cat Records	2019	The 12 tracks from P.E.’s snarling debut, Person, display the band members’ collective experience in piecing together unforgettable compositions then gleefully tearing them apart at the seams, while the album’s clattering industrial percussion, zigzagging synths and sax, and colourful dystopian poetry maintain the spark of P.E.’s improvisational bent. The result is a sonic lexicon that reflects the unnatural surroundings of their adopted home in NYC—chaotic yet alluring, gnarly yet beautiful, gritty yet fun. This is music for fully-formed persons—human music for the 21st century.		1:59:30 (Pop-up)

	8:42pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 It's pretty much common knowledge that he drinks soft drinks constantly and snorts adderall
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:41 Omg he is OBSESSED. Hey if it takes a swifty to keep this mess off the messier rails I’m ok with that
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:42 And yet he was like “test me! I got nothing to hide” what a nut lol
	8:44pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:40 Ok I’m just gonna say that is way too nice and cute of a name for a bug killer. It’s like a pet name for a grandma, not a dangerous chemical lol

	9:11pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:09 Woah!
	9:15pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Ghost Socks" by "Los Mucus" Do they go missing in the ghost dryer?
	9:16pm DJ Babs: LOL...you don't need a ghost dryer to make ghost socks any old dryer will do!
	9:17pm ultradamno: I still refer to the movie Saw X as socks
	9:20pm DJ Babs: As one should! I should rewatch them but they are soooo nasty!
	9:22pm ultradamno: I kind of meant to when they were all on Shudder but I kept finding things that interested me more. Only Koreans can make torture scenes not stop a movie cold.
	9:24pm DJ Babs: You know...you've got a very valid point there. Speaking of torture it seems the Orange one is back on his build the wall thing again. Booooooring...
	9:25pm ultradamno: Three of the movies on my shortlist to see this year, Kinds of Kindness, Maxxxine and Longlegs seems to be doing well in early reviews this week.

	9:35pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:34 Woody Harrelson's friend?
	9:35pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:34 lol, literally
	9:36pm ultradamno: I give Barnett (who I'm not even a fan of) more bonafides than the widow
	9:36pm DJ Babs: Agreed. I think Courtney is more folky grungy than grungy grungy

	9:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:40 The new Beth Gibbons album is quite stunning, really. I'm not sure if there's anything she's done that hasn't captured me... Though I still have to delve into the Rustin Man deeper, and haven't listened to the Górecki symphony at all yet... + other collabs I need to catch up on... She's been busy for a sparse-discography artist.
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:42 i'm familiar most of gorecki's work, so, I'm very curious....

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
Science Centre Choir	The Science Centre Song	The Science Centre	Science Center	1970	Planning for the Science Centre started in 1961 during Toronto's massive expansion of the late 1950s and 1960s. In August 1964, Premier of Ontario John Robarts announced the creation of the Centennial Centre of Science and Technology as a Centennial Project. Toronto architect Raymond Moriyama was hired to design the site. Construction started in 1966 with plans to open the Centennial Centre of Science and Technology as part of the Canadian Centennial celebrations in 1967, however it did not open its doors until 1969. It is a remarkable building and example of the brutalist style and even more importantly a place for hands on learning and community gathering. It is currently being closed and slated for demolition to build cheap shitty housing under the direction of our lousy Premier.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)

Big Bill	Throw It Away "Throw It Away" by "Big Bill"	Strawberry Seed	Spaceflight Records	2024	For more than a decade, Big Bill has reigned as one of Austin’s weirdest art-rock acts. Piling “angular, jarring, and adrenaline-fueled” riffs into a “cacophony of feverish, chaotic punk and absurdist humor,” as the Chronicle put it in 2018, the band united all freaks interested in the energy of the counterculture, if not the aggression. The band performs even more dynamically onstage, as singer Eric Braden leads his bandmates – dressed in matching tracksuits or coordinated primary colors...single “Throw It Away,” a frenetic blend of bouncy bass and snappy drums, perfects the band’s classic sound. As Braden laments his tendency to waste time by likening his life to a piece of rotting fruit...	*	0:03:40 (Pop-up)
Geography Of The Moon	Pick It Up (And Put It Down)	Pick It Up (And Put It Down)	Teenfreaks Music	2024	After three years which has seen the band relocate from Glasgow in the UK to the sunnier climes of Thailand, Indonesia and soon Japan, post punk poets Geography of the Moon return with a new single. Formed in London, UK, in 2016, Geography of the Moon is a collaboration between singer/pianist Virginia Bones and multi-instrumentalist /producer Andrea AKA Santa Pazienza. They thrive in the live environment and since the end of Covid restrictions this duo has clocked up over 450 gigs...and are the masterminds behind Teen Freaks label "Teen Freaks is a label, a platform for Geography and many other bands – there are some very interesting bands coming on. It originally started around 15 years ago, in the north of Italy, an alternative to there being too many cover bands playing everywhere. It’s called Teen Freaks because we’re all freaks, writing our music, good bands, bad bands, really good bands, really bad bands. During lockdown I thought why not revive it. Started to do a few events here and there using the name. Whatever I like I share it – I’m not a critic, it’s just my personal taste."	*	0:05:54 (Pop-up)
Marcel Wave	Where There's Muck There's Brass	Something Looming	Feel It Records	2024	Formed when Lindsay Corstorphine and Christopher Murphy of Sauna Youth and brethren Oliver and Patrick Fisher of Cold Pumas were summoned by northern ink-slinger Maike Hale-Jones, Marcel Wave’s debut offering is a walk through a smoke-filled pub with yellowing wallpaper and all eyes on you. It’s a chronicle of the death of the docklands, the decline of industry, of the high street, of civic pride, of civilisations, of hopes and dreams. As Hale-Jones delivers the bad news in her low, West Yorkshire brogue, Corstorphine adds the bells and whistles via the frantic pulsations of a wheezing Hohner organ in tandem with Fisher O’s rasping guitar. MW are completed by the throbbing basslines of Murphy and Fisher P’s fervent rhythms.	*	0:09:40 (Pop-up)

Lucid Waters	One Track Race "One Track Race" by "Lucid Waters"	One Track Race	Lucid Waters	2024	A tireless three piece band who crossed paths with each other while living in the ceramic city of stoke-on-trent. Formed during the pandemic they quickly found their own distinctive sound,interweaving inventive politically driven lyrics with jarring perspectives about the general anxieties of dull modern day existence. Consisting of Bassist Owen Davies (Manchester) Guitarist and vocalist Alec Playford, (Stoke) & Drummer and vocalist Joshua Goodwin (Stoke) Who recently released their debut single ‘Are You Talkin’ To Me? gives a small taste of aggressive bass driven tracks with distorted melodic guitar tones delivering the message that this is just the beginning for the gang of three, and that there’s much more to come yet.		0:23:10 (Pop-up)

The artwork was designed by longtime OMD collaborator Peter Saville, along with associate Brett Wickens, while its title was derived from the book Morality and Architecture by David Watkin.		0:25:47 (Pop-up)
No Teeth	Snooker Wound "Snooker Wound" by "No Teeth"	Decadence In Breeding	Post Post Music	2024	Released June 1, 2024. The full album is now fully released in all its fullness... I had expected great things from a song called "Snooker Wound" & this track does not disappoint. No Teeth refer to themselves as a "Syndicate" and are from Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. Of the album, they helpfully offer up... "Still stewing in the fragmented stints of our nuisance, we attempted to muster up some inane prattle in order to finally pin down the terms of our rationale in it's absolution. With somewhat unsuccessful results. We scourged the earth, hoarding heinous facts from the real-life chauvinists only to then have the utter gall to claim them as our own. "The deafening crack of floggers whip, thieving strangles from a blue-faced loser, fucking a gift horse in the mouth jubilation in the face of tyranny, choosing to do the terrible act." But really it all came down to one thing• "Bad and nasty patter." our petulant faces lit up, thickened moons in the glow of such a mouthwatering epiphany. We knew we had it this time. Trapped in various corners and stick-em-ups. “The Money Shot!!!” It was dark, looming and vicious. We had seen it coming all along, mind you. The cataclysmic wreckage sprawled indefinitely across the room and beside the mess, we were cemented in history as the tyrants of decadence. " https://no-teeth.bandcamp.com/	*	0:33:43 (Pop-up)
NightjaR	Blood Red Dead (feat. Jason Williamson)	Mala Leche	Lewis Recordings	2024	Released June 21, 2024 //// "NightjaR is the project of Doves' Jimi Goodwin. Mala Leche sees features from Jason Williamson, Pan Amsterdam, Homeboy Sandman & more." "Blessing/curse. Division/unity. Love/hate. It’s in the context of a polarising 24-hour, digitised, globally connected world that NightjaR finds its wings. NightjaR being the nom-de-plume and smudged rainbow constellation of collaborative copy-and-paste sound-wrangling and hip-hop from Jimi Goodwin. Without social media. Without beyond-midnight transatlantic emails. Without finding the possibilities folded into Wi-Fi-routed claustrophobia, there would be no debut NightjaR album. But it’s here and it’s Mala Leche. //// Mala Leche (Spanish: Bad Milk) is 16 tracks of beats and bars, vocals provided by some of the hip-hop artists at the very top of his own, personal home listening lists and interludes that throw back and forth through eras and genres in sometimes playful, occasionally awakeningly abrasive styles. How did it all come together? //// “The good thing about social media is that it makes everyone available. Everyone has their contact details or their management’s contact details on their profiles. I could literally just email or DM someone.” //// Goodwin has form in this, his chosen arena. Anyone paying attention to his extra-curricular activities at the same time his ‘day job’ in the still-active Doves presented him a third UK No.1 album in 2020 will have noted his production, as Coup Diablo (“Bollocks, that name! I don’t know what I was thinking!”) on Pan Amsterdam’s Ha Chu album in the same year. Improbably connecting the nocturnal, lamp-lit laboratory vibe of a home studio at the foot of England’s Peak District with Miami, Florida, Goodwin and Pan Amsterdam linked up once again this time around, with the one-time jazz musician-turned rapper’s authoritative prose and trumpet gracing first single, Space Bar and album closer, Glove Department. //// Much like the basis for many of Mala Leche’s new-era collaborations, the two have never met in person, yet the creativity flowed easily through fibre optics and across time zones. //// “I like clever wordsmiths,” says Goodwin, “not just cusses and Pan is exactly that kind of artist. He’s The Don. Full respect to him, he got fed up with the jazz scene he was part of, frustrated by the bullshit. He’s gone and called it out and done his own thing. You’ve got to admire that.”... ...Closer to home, the unmistakable voice, meter and lyrical proclivities of Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson land, without ambiguity, on Blood Red Dead. With the peal of a repeating, distorted guitar lick and a single, grounding organ note, Williamson’s Nottinghamshire brogue is welcomed through a longstanding sense of mutual interest and respect. Of the same generation, compatible politics and frequently lost in a world of instant, all-too-public messaging, the pair are long-time acquaintances. //// “We’ve never met in person,” admits Goodwin, “but we’re on the phone to each other all the time. I was blown away by what he’s done on ‘Blood Red Dead’. It’s totally ‘him’. I admire people who are just like ‘fuck you!’ and working and living with that sense of conviction. Just people who can completely be themselves.” //// Much like Sleaford Mods, Doves or any band name, NightjaR is a useful alias in the process of Goodwin becoming, like Williamson, completely himself. After percolating over seven years and finally facing the prospect of going public, the name crept from corners of inspiration linked to both voodoo doctor Dr John’s unsettling, 1968 debut album, GRIS-gris and the bird of the same name. Nocturnal creatures camouflaged from discovery while roosting in the daytime, and ascending to mythical status for an ages-old reported ability to steal milk from goats, the enigmatic bird is a well-chosen totem to Mala Leche’s similar sense of post-dusk mystery.

The Damned	Lovely Money (Extended)	Strawberries (Deluxe Edition)	Bronze / Sanctuary	1982 / 2005	In keeping w/ a brief Money/Gov't theme, here's a song from a 1982 single by The Damned, who apparently have been fantastic touring 1979's Machine Gun Ettiquette in 2024 (sadly we missed it). This song features spoken words by Victor Anthony Stanshall... "(born 21 March 1943, Shillingford, Oxfordshire, England – died 5 March 1995, London, England) was an English singer-songwriter, musician, author, poet and wit. First rising to fame as an integral member of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band in the late 1960's, Stanshall embarked on an idiosyncratic solo career when the Bonzos split up in 1970, astonishing in its variety and fertility but also broken up by long periods of inactivity as a consequence of his problems with alcoholism and depression. //// Perhaps his most famous creation was the saga of Rawlinson End, sprawling spoken-word pieces interspersed with original songs. The stories began with a relatively short track on the final Bonzo Dog Band album ‘Let’s Make Up and Be Friendly’ but grew into 20-minute pieces on the John Peel Show on BBC Radio 1, and resultant albums, from 1975 onwards. Depicting a world of English aristocracy that was part P.G. Wodehouse, part Mervyn Peake, they were a showcase for Stanshall’s intricate wordplay and surreal imagination, along with his mellifluous and elastic voice. //// Although Stanshall could be notoriously erratic and difficult to work with, he was involved in a number of collaborations with such artists as Robert Calvert, Eric Clapton, Keith Moon and Steve Winwood, and also created two solo albums notable for their varied musical styles and lyrics full of his perennial loves of rhyming slang, absurdist puns and tongue-twisters. //// After a period of creative resurgence in the late 1980's that saw a number of Rawlinson End sessions for John Peel and a West End staging of his musical play "Stinkfoot" (partly financed by Stephen Fry and Peter Gabriel), Stanshall’s drinking worsened in the 1990's and he perished in a fire at his flat in London on 5 March 1995, probably caused by an overturned lamp as he slept."		0:42:56 (Pop-up)
Crack Cloud	Blue Kite "Blue Kite" by "Crack Cloud"	Red Mile	Jagjaguwar	2024	The Canadian collective Crack Cloud describe themselves as art punks. They’ve been operating on a DIY level for many years — their Bandcamp stretches back to 2016 — but after increasing buzz for their last couple of albums, they’ve signed to Jagjaguwar for the next one. Crack Cloud recorded Red Mile between their hometown of Calgary and the outskirts of Joshua Tree, CA. The album is coming in July, and its lead single “Blue Kite” is out today. It’s got some notes of quirky ’80s new wave and sophistipop, but the lead vocal is pure punk. //////// The band’s Zach Choy shared a statement on the new LP, which evolves into a statement on the lead single and cover art: When we were recording the album Red Mile in the Mojave Desert, I spent nights reading about 20th century China. My grandparents migrated to Canada during Mao’s Great Leap Forward, and besides the photo albums and childhood memories, I have little basis for understanding their experience. Beginning in the late 80s there came to be a generation of Chinese filmmakers whose main subject was the depiction of life during the Cultural Revolution. The films from this time examine the growing pains of national identity, without the glorification that defined National cinema up until then. As the viewer with a degree of generational and cultural separation, I found an unusual sense of reprieve in the nuance of it all. And as our time drifted by in the desert, I continued to look inward. ///// The music of Red Mile came naturally, and of its own volition. The Mojave had an elemental effect. The seemingly never-ending labyrinth of touring into exhaustion that characterized preceding years. And the externalization of Crack Cloud’s mythology, displaced and dismantled as we’ve grown out of ourselves, constantly, creatively reborn, by virtue and design. This is how I would describe Red Mile, and more generally, the group’s freefall, nearly a decade in the making. So when close friend and collaborator Aidan Pontarini pitched the skydiving punk concept for the album cover, it resonated deeply. // Blue Kite was written with a cultural intersection in mind. In Canada in the early 00’s we grew up to Sum 41. Late night YTV. And the spectre of Woodstock 99. From the outside looking in: being in a punk band meant that you could be a jackass. Pick your nose on stage; play the drum like Energizer Bunny. My relationship to punk music as a teenager hinged on self-deprecation; an easy, destructive mode of confronting what I didn’t like about myself. And what I didn’t understand about the world around me. // There’s a film that came out of China in 1993 and was subsequently banned therein, called The Blue Kite. It’s told from the perspective of a boy growing up in 1950’s Beijing. His environment is one of social conformity and political correctness, and he relishes in escapism when flying his kite. Eventually the boy succumbs to the social climate, and the kite itself is swept away into the branches of a tree. I thought the imagery was striking and wanted to incorporate it into a video with Aidan’s skydiving punk, in a hypnagogic way. // We filmed the video in and around the Desert where the album was recorded, and the skydiving took place.

Music behind DJ: Jgarrett	The Renoviction "The Renoviction" by "Jgarrett"	The Shuttered EP	Resilient Recordings	2020	"Vancouver, Canada-based producer and performer JGarrett (aka Josh Garrett) forged his love of techno deep in the warehouses and industrial spaces of Detroit alongside the rise of the North American underground party scene in the early mid-90s. His earliest live sets were performed at a long-gone night in Detroit's Cass Corridor. Over the years Josh has released a variety of styles of techno on a number of imprints. n 2012 Josh started the Subspec Music label and focused most of his efforts on his JGarrett project... sharpening the harder edged, Detroit-inuenced techno and fusing it with a heavier industrial backbone. Over the last several years Josh's prole has grown as he as received solid support from many important, top-tier DJs and artists in the international techno community.

Rounded out and beaten forward by co-founder Dave Roper, the trio exercises undeservedly antiquated practices, such as: (1) marrying quality-control with a hyper-prolific release and touring schedule; (2) allowing the resultant discography to boast an uncommon variety and scope; (3) what might be the best live show in contemporary garage-punk / related underground; and (4) appropriating garage-punk, class-of-1990 noise-rock and blunt-force post-punk, out of which emerges a largely proprietary mountain of scuzz-pop menace.		1:04:54 (Pop-up)

Century Palm	Reset Reaction "Reset Reaction" by "Century Palm"	Meet You	Deranged Records	2017	Century Palm are a now sadly, defunct band from Toronto. Not content to simply combine influences, Century Palm glide across genre boundaries, drawing upon myriad times and places: Gary Numan, Wire, Neu!, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Brian Eno’s pop records, and contemporary sounds from the Australian post-punk sub-terrain. Century Palm frequently employ minimal but propulsive rhythms in service of intoxicating melodies. Songs shiver, pulsate and glisten, losing none of the essential energy of members’ previous projects (Zebrassieres, Ketamines, The Drearies, Sudden Infant Dance Syndrome) while adding new worlds of texture and feeling. There’s a fascinating tension, a palpable struggle between their inner selves and their music that demands to be heard.		1:14:51 (Pop-up)
Reymour	On A Pulse "On A Pulse" by "Reymour"	On A Pulse Single	Knekelhuis	2024	Reymour packed their bags in the pre-Alps of Switzerland and left to start a new life in Bruxelles and create songs built from chansons, synthpop and cute minimal wave. Luc Bersier’s wide musical spectrum reaches great heights while staying small. He creates the musical bedrock on which Reymour’s cabinet of musical curiosities rests, allowing us to drift away on the unctuous fumes of Lou’s vocals. On these tracks she covers a wide array of feelings, of doubt, sexual orientation, play and melancholia. And it all comes together in the reflection of life.	*	1:17:18 (Pop-up)
The Mad Walls	I Tell You How I Feel	Have You Heard The News?	Big Potato Records	2024	Brand new music to absolutely LOVE! The Mad Walls evolved from the personal recording project of Los Angeles singer/songwriter and guitarist Christopher Mercado in 2016. With the addition of drummer Johnathan Martin and bassist Nicole Smith, the trio began making music that reflects their shared influences, from the sonic pioneers of 1960s psychedelia to the bands that have kept the spirit alive, including The Pink Floyd, The Electric Prunes, The Velvet Underground, and Radiohead. Literary inspiration from George Orwell to Kurt Vonnegut (Cat’s Cradle and Player Piano in particular) also help shape the vision of Christopher's songs. Blending styles and adding new dimensions in their frenetic pursuit of mind-melting music, The Mad Walls have honed their craft with continual live performances, joining some of the most notable contemporary psych bands on stage at venues throughout Los Angeles and beyond.	*	1:20:40 (Pop-up)

Fresh from a run of live dates across Australia earlier this month, they are preparing for the release of their debut album due out later this year. ///// ‘Acceptable Experience’ is built on two interlocked bass lines, dancing Farfisa riffs and layered tape loops. It describes a fate of unrealised plans, missed boats and dashed hopes as life changes course and spirals away beyond control: “Expect so much and receive so few returns, it’s a long running curse”. ////// Filled with the freedom of Sun Ra, powered by soulful, groove-based basslines, drawing on the tape experiments of Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire and The Radiophonic Workshop and threaded through with infectious melodies, MEMORIALS sit comfortably alongside Broadcast, Portishead, Arthur Russell, The Velvet Underground, Yo La Tengo and Tortoise. ///// As multi-instrumentalists they have honed their sound for live shows as a duo, juggling instruments in a set-up resembling that of a 5-piece band and live looping on a reel-to-reel tape machine. ///// Following their acclaimed 2023 soundtracks ‘Women Against The Bomb’ and ‘Tramps!’, a tour with Stereolab (they’ve been called “Stereolab’s evil twin”) and a new music commission from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Verity Susman and Matthew Simms have arrived at MEMORIALS in reverse, escaping their cinematic day jobs to channel the spirit of free jazz, creating cosmic journeys into psychedelic rock, far-out folk and wild analogue electronics." https://memorialsmusic.bandcamp.com/"	*	1:33:25 (Pop-up)
Broadcast	Running Back To Me "Running Back To Me" by "Broadcast"	Spell Blanket: Collected Demos 2006-2009	Warp Records	2024	"Appropriately for a band whose enchanting music evokes memories that are at once familiar yet unknowable, Spell Blanket – Collected Demos 2006-2009 upturns everything we thought we knew about Broadcast during that final period. It fills in gaps we didn’t know were there, offers tantalising clues to their unfinished fifth album, and somehow ends up enhancing their mystique, despite laying all the cards on the table. Like opening a treasure chest and basking in the golden glow, Spell Blanket collects 36 demos and sketches from Keenan’s extensive archive of four-track tapes and MiniDiscs, recorded in the years after Tender Buttons, and which it’s assumed would have shaped the sound of their next record – all while they focused, as if in a parallel world, on the folk-horror experiments. It’s the first of two Broadcast archival releases this year by Warp; the second, Distant Call, due in the autumn, rounds up early demos of songs from the first three albums and will be the group’s final release. ////// Readers of Broadcast’s Future Crayon blog will know that, each September 28, Cargill posts a birthday tribute to Keenan, who was his partner. On a few of these occasions, he’s posted an unreleased Broadcast demo or audio clip, something that Keenan made. The first one he posted, in 2012, the year after her death, was a 40-second recording she made of herself, walking outside, cheerfully singing a verse called “The Song Before The Song Comes Out”, almost making it up as she goes. It’s intimate and unaffected, presumably never intended for wider circulation, and it opens this collection, setting the tone for a wealth of material that sheds new light on Broadcast’s songwriting process and Keenan’s approach to lyrics, providing insight into her state of mind through the words she wrote. ////// What strikes you is the sheer variety of styles and textures that Keenan and Cargill were playing around with. It’s a shimmering patchwork of ideas and moments, some more realised than others, some beautiful, some stark, and in this sense, Spell Blanket follows on quite naturally from Berberian Sound Studio, itself a series of short film cues. Ranging in length from 30 seconds to close to four minutes, there’s enough potential material here for three or four albums, if only the demos could be worked on and completed – but that will never happen and, in any case, there’s a certain charm to the brevity and roughness of these recordings that fits Broadcast’s aesthetic. In just the first eight tracks, there’s spectral hymnal drone (“March Of The Fleas”), choral loops (“Greater Than Joy”) and flute-laced witch-folk (“Mother Plays Games”), followed by the fuzzy soft-focus psych of “Roses Red”, an irresistible minute of “Hip Bone To Hip Bone” and the heavy ritual groove of “Running Back To Me”. Elsewhere, we hear Keenan trying a technique on “Singing Game”, there’s a lush synth surge called “Dream Power”, and a killer cut titled “The Games You Play”. The whole thing is an abundance of riches that illustrates how versatile and special Broadcast could be." https://broadcast.bandcamp.com/	*	1:36:30 (Pop-up)
Beth Gibbons	For Sale "For Sale" by "Beth Gibbons"	Lives Outgrown	Domino Recording Co. Ltd.	2024	From Gibbons' debut solo album, released a good 30+ years into her career on May 19, 2024. Since we're playing 'For Sale', here's the review by The Financial Times: "One of the most distinctive voices of her generation is also among the least vocal. Not giving interviews and rarely releasing music, Portishead singer Beth Gibbons seems mysteriously attracted to silence, at least publicly. //// She first emerged 30 years ago with Portishead’s debut Dummy. It unveiled a novel sound, a mix of hip-hop and torch song in which Gibbons’ quavering high tones resembled the nervily agitated lines on a brain scan. It was labelled trip-hop, although the Bristol band were really sui generis. Only two further studio albums have followed. Lightning can be bottled, but not often. //// Portishead’s other members have kept busy with alternative projects, but Gibbons has been more reticent. There was a fine collaborative album in 2002 with Talk Talk’s Paul Webb. She sang in a recording of a Górecki symphony conducted by the composer Krzysztof Penderecki. Released in 2019, it proved she doesn’t lack courage as a vocalist. But she’s sparing in her appearances. //// Lives Outgrown is her debut solo record. Appearing as its maker approaches her sixties, it deals with subjects that rarely turn up in debut albums: mortality, menopause, the “burden of life” (as one song puts it). Gibbons sings slowly, moving at her own pace. The powerful sense of feeling in her voice isn’t magnified into melodrama by close-miking. Co-produced by James Ford, the music has a stark folk-rock skeleton, fleshed out by orchestral arrangements, percussive textures and atmospheric backing vocals. //// The detailing is profuse, but it serves a narrative purpose. “Floating on a Moment” opens with panting and ends with a children’s choir joining Gibbons in a refrain about living for the moment. “Lost Changes” combines whistling and humming, music at its most basic, with Pink Floyd-style universal grandeur. //// “For Sale” allegorises a world in which everything is for sale, with folk guitar, gypsy violin and jangling percussion like coins in a bag. “Just ask yourself, how would you want life to be?” Gibbons sings deliberately, choosing her words with care. This least glib of vocalists doesn’t break her silence without good reason. Lives Outgrown provides it." https://bethgibbons.net/	*	1:38:33 (Pop-up)

Her family immigrated to Israel in 1991 at the height of the Gulf War, first to a kibbutz in Negev and several months later to Tel Aviv where she grew up and lived until the age of 20. //// She was forced to change her name to Miriam for several years while attending a religious Jewish school, from which she nearly got expelled.

Lonely and trying to find her way forward in a “very bad marriage to a beautiful man”, she succumbed to addiction and almost ended it all. //// Almost three years on, she’s been through rehab, faced her demons, got divorced, moved back up north with her cat and had a visceral lesson in the power of forgiveness. She’s also channelled all that grief and rage and love and hope into a truly extraordinary album. //// A powerfully outspoken force in UK music, Shah already had a clutch of beautiful, impassioned, critically-acclaimed albums to her name. She was nominated for the Mercury Prize for 2017’s Holiday Destination, her brooding postpunk take on the refugee crisis, Islamophobia and how toxic politicians screw over working class communities. Her follow up, Kitchen Sink was equally incisive about the challenges and absurdity of being a 30-something woman. Yet Filthy Underneath is more visceral still, lyrically journeying through Shah’s pain and recovery – backed by the most soaring and vivid music she’s yet created. //// Filthy Underneath both processes Heather’s illness – on You Drive, I Shoot, “Doctors give you this, doctors give you that” and we ache with imminent loss – and, on See My Girl, elegises her. “Dimpled cheeks, Scandi beauty, we stand with held hands.” //// As she was dealing with her bereavement, Nadine Shah’s marriage was falling apart. She found her husband was unable to support her. “Isolated in grief” and overcome with rage, she turned to the numbing effects of alcohol and substances. She wasn’t leaving the house, even after Covid restrictions eased. “And then I decided that I was going to take my own life.” //// The eventual crisis is dramatised in snapshot details on album closer French Exit, named for the slang term for leaving a party without saying goodbye. “Blue polkadot top and matching trousers,” she sings. “Reapplied lipstick. A clown who counts the downers.” //// “Luckily,” Shah continues, “I was interrupted. And luckily, I had a really great bunch of people around me, who put me in a place where I needed to be and got me the recovery that I needed. //// “Now I’m able to function much better, as a better daughter, a better sister, a better auntie and a better partner to my current boyfriend. And yeah, things have gotten a lot better. But it was such a brutally awful time.” //// Nadine Shah ultimately spent eight weeks in rehab. “I had the best in their field looking after me, and helping me. I don’t think I would have gotten better unless I’d gone there,” she says. But it wasn’t just the staff that had a deep impact on her. Her fellow residents forced her to contemplate how we can forgive someone who’s done terrible things, even if that person is yourself." https://nadineshah.co.uk/	*	1:45:32 (Pop-up)
Rubber Oh	Bloodlust "Bloodlust" by "Rubber Oh"	Soil	Mr Medicine Records	2024	First track released from the forthcoming Sep 20, 2024 LP. --- Strangely, another act (the first being No Teeth) from "Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK" that has caught my ear & attention in these past few months. The reason I find it strange is because I hadn't considered Newcastle Upon Tyne too deeply before in the previous five decades of my life... "Rubber Oh is the weirded-out psych project of Newcastle producer Sam Grant." https://rubberoh.bandcamp.com/	*	1:50:37 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Jgarrett	Condominiums To The Horizon	The Shuttered EP	Resilient Recordings	2020	"Vancouver, Canada-based producer and performer JGarrett (aka Josh Garrett) forged his love of techno deep in the warehouses and industrial spaces of Detroit alongside the rise of the North American underground party scene in the early mid-90s. His earliest live sets were performed at a long-gone night in Detroit's Cass Corridor. Over the years Josh has released a variety of styles of techno on a number of imprints. n 2012 Josh started the Subspec Music label and focused most of his efforts on his JGarrett project... sharpening the harder edged, Detroit-inuenced techno and fusing it with a heavier industrial backbone. Over the last several years Josh's prole has grown as he as received solid support from many important, top-tier DJs and artists in the international techno community. JGarrett's sound continues to bridge propulsive abstraction and handmade grooves to deliver full-strength, uncompromising music."		1:54:48 (Pop-up)
P.E.	Lovers' Lane "Lovers' Lane" by "P.E."	Person	Wharf Cat Records	2019	The 12 tracks from P.E.’s snarling debut, Person, display the band members’ collective experience in piecing together unforgettable compositions then gleefully tearing them apart at the seams, while the album’s clattering industrial percussion, zigzagging synths and sax, and colourful dystopian poetry maintain the spark of P.E.’s improvisational bent. The result is a sonic lexicon that reflects the unnatural surroundings of their adopted home in NYC—chaotic yet alluring, gnarly yet beautiful, gritty yet fun. This is music for fully-formed persons—human music for the 21st century.		1:59:30 (Pop-up)

	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:26 Lol yeah like Trump isn’t pumped full of god knows what. Wasn’t his admin flagged for dispensing speed like Candy in the White House? Hmmmm how very nazi of them LOL
	8:41pm ultradamno: I'm hoping for two things from the debate water/magnet/shark talk and a discussion of Taylor Swift's appearance vs. her work.
	8:42pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 It's pretty much common knowledge that he drinks soft drinks constantly and snorts adderall
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:41 Omg he is OBSESSED. Hey if it takes a swifty to keep this mess off the messier rails I’m ok with that
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:42 And yet he was like “test me! I got nothing to hide” what a nut lol
	8:44pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:40 Ok I’m just gonna say that is way too nice and cute of a name for a bug killer. It’s like a pet name for a grandma, not a dangerous chemical lol

	8:58pm DJ Babs: Haha! They had the best commercials too!
	🏝 9:03pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi DJ Babs, Derek, and all!!!
	9:05pm ultradamno: Mick Harvey, somewhat famously (it was a sequence that grabbed some attention at the time, as I recall), had his cover of Mano Negra's Out Of Time Man appear in Breaking Bad too
	9:07pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Will! Are you ready to melt your mind?
	9:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:03 Hey there WilltheeSGOCNY! Lovely to see you! How is the sound these days?
	9:08pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:05 My favourite "music placement" of all time in Breaking Bad is Thee Oh Sees' "Tidal Wave" in the pool scene... If you watched the series, you know the scene I mean.
	9:09pm ultradamno: Though the use of Teenage Jesus & The Jerks in Preacher may take the cake for biggest surprise.
	9:10pm DJ Babs: GAWWWWWD I LOVE THIS BAND
	9:11pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:09 Woah!
	9:15pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Ghost Socks" by "Los Mucus" Do they go missing in the ghost dryer?
	9:16pm DJ Babs: LOL...you don't need a ghost dryer to make ghost socks any old dryer will do!
	9:17pm ultradamno: I still refer to the movie Saw X as socks
	9:20pm DJ Babs: As one should! I should rewatch them but they are soooo nasty!
	9:22pm ultradamno: I kind of meant to when they were all on Shudder but I kept finding things that interested me more. Only Koreans can make torture scenes not stop a movie cold.
	9:24pm DJ Babs: You know...you've got a very valid point there. Speaking of torture it seems the Orange one is back on his build the wall thing again. Booooooring...
	9:25pm ultradamno: Three of the movies on my shortlist to see this year, Kinds of Kindness, Maxxxine and Longlegs seems to be doing well in early reviews this week.

	9:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:31 flowing along swimmingly! -and in echoland?
	🏝 9:34pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @9:32 When i think of grunge, that's not the Courtney that comes to mind
	9:35pm ultradamno: I'd give 'em Target if they didn't buckle on rainbow shirts.
	9:35pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:34 Woody Harrelson's friend?
	9:35pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:34 lol, literally
	9:36pm ultradamno: I give Barnett (who I'm not even a fan of) more bonafides than the widow
	9:36pm DJ Babs: Agreed. I think Courtney is more folky grungy than grungy grungy
	9:36pm northguineahills: "pant pant, I'm here!" falls out of the ceiling
	9:36pm Alli B: Great song

	9:37pm ultradamno: Maybe in the aggregate, but that hit of hers was like Nirvana fan fic...I will die on this hill
	9:37pm DJ Babs: Yeah that song was fucking amazing!
	9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Acceptable Experience" by "Memorials" i used to have a delia derbyshire poster in the before time....

	9:38pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:37 Avant Gardener is amazing... She started out so strongly... I love the videos she did w/ Kurt Vile, though... Their collab. was very sweet.
	9:39pm ultradamno: I liked The Avant Gardeners that did Strange Gurl In Clothes
	9:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:38 what derek said....

	9:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:40 The new Beth Gibbons album is quite stunning, really. I'm not sure if there's anything she's done that hasn't captured me... Though I still have to delve into the Rustin Man deeper, and haven't listened to the Górecki symphony at all yet... + other collabs I need to catch up on... She's been busy for a sparse-discography artist.
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:42 i'm familiar most of gorecki's work, so, I'm very curious....
	9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 Broadcast are truly special. I consider myself lucky, for sure!
