there's a fairly healthy balance between rock-based songs and experimental noise/folk, with a few oddities thrown in here and there just to keep it interesting, and a pretty strong nod given towards the psychedelic side of things.

folk, punk rock, ethnic musics (asian, african, indian, latin), psych-rock/folk/noise, soul, country & western, klezmer, rock & roll, noise rock, blues rock, surf rock, bedroom pop, experimental, etc. basically a bunch of shit that most normal people wouldn't want to hear lumped together. oh, and it's f'n long.

nice, it took me a month to recover from accidentally deleting this last time. oh well, in that month i revised this a bit making it even better.

this has psychedelia, garage rock, 60's girl pop, punk, blues, americana, folk, experimental, harsh noise, not so harsh noise, garage punk and avant-garde.

as you might gather from the ridiculous artist list, this one's a little long. 2 hours and 13 minutes

ha, i made two podcasts, and somewhat tragically / humorously, i managed to delete the second one. that sucks so very much.

as for the one that didn't get deleted, it's punk, garage punk, psychedelic rock, art-rock, garage rock, post-punk and a dash of surf rock. i did manage to sneak on one experimental track from cj, but it worked well with the ending of the preceding song.

the other one was broader and more experimental. fuck, not looking forward to having to remake that shit. maybe i'll get it done next week. i'm too bummed out to think about doing it now.

i've been slacking on a lot of shit lately, and this is certainly no exception. while it seems to have become a once a month thing, i'm making up for it with content. this one's 2 hours and fifteen minutes long. dang.

i'm shying away from the harsh noise with this episode. there's still some experimentation to be had, but it's more textured, less jarring. since i'm swinging the spotlight off of noise, it has to go somewhere else, right? right. the focus is more on garage / punk rock, since i spend more time listening to that anyway. plus, i've come across some really great shit that's new to me, so i thought that i'd pass that along to you.

also in the mix is a bit of folk, some bluesier tracks, noise rock, lo-fi trash (endearingly so) and some folk. i really dig that congregacion, and that album is really fucking good; mellow and beautiful. i seem to have the hardest time finding really great hispanic music (with the exception of 70s psychedelia), so this find was a gem. hopefully someone else'll be into it, too.

i'm really digging this one. since rock was a central theme, it doesn't feel so disjointed. clearly i'm all for fucking around with different shit, not really caring how it will be perceived, but when you do a show that comes together real fucking nicely, nothing beats that. enjoy.

this next episode is long as fuck. two hours (and two minutes). i felt like this one was overdue, plus i lost my mental alarm that tells me when enough is enough.

i managed to be quite a bit more cohesive with this outing. with the exclusion of the second set (which is where the bulk of the actual songs are) this is pretty free from my usual pop and rock yearnings. yeah, this one is more about experimental electronics, psych, folk, avant-garde and noise. the noise is also not very harsh, for the most part. this one sort of splits the difference between my love for catchy music, and my love for brutal electronics.

lots of excerpts... there were quite a few artists that i wanted to incorporate into the mix, but their songs were all ten plus minutes, so i had to chop them up and use the most interesting parts. the lone exception is ortmann's track. that one isn't long to begin with, but i cut the track where the chainsaws started and overlapped that with the ending of schematic's creepily minimal piece and made my own horror movie, in audio.

anders dahl - dustnoise (117:13-122:04)

since i'm doing two podcasts at the same time, i thought that having a little variety might be a good thing, so this one is the more experimental and noisy episode. with a hell of a deviation in the middle.

the first set is noise, but only the kylie minoise track is straight forward, and that's only three minutes long. the others use ambiance or great dynamics to texture the sound.

the second set is definitely the weird one, starting with sun city girls' sir richard bishop and ending with... donovan? sure, why not. along the way some rad sumatran and french pop (culminating in a rad cover of the rolling stones' paint it black) and on into garage rock.

the last set is more folk-centric with an avant-garde track thrown in from robert horton's imperfect masters project, and closes with a tyvek side project that's already a lot more promising than tyvek. needles drop is pretty rad though..

oh, you'll really only need the track times for the noise portion.

since i haven't posted a new episode in awhile, i'll make this outing a two for one. this first episode is lighter on experimental / noise music, and instead focuses more on different perspectives of rock music. the first set is all about the blues, and the tweaking of that genre on into modern times. the rest is flushed out by a little psych, lo-fi slop, some punk, as well as a couple of experimental tracks.

maybe it was my subconscious trying to rally against all of the folk and girl garage rock that i've been listening to over the past two weeks, but this podcast takes a turn for the noisier. actually, only four of the songs on here are noise, and, despite my best efforts, some folk and girl garage rock found their way onto the playlist. noisy and poppy.

yay, i got it done on time! not very noisy, probably has more legitimate songs than any of the other episodes i've done. it just turned out that way when i was arranging the tracks. i did have to leave off quite a few things that i wanted on here, due to not wanting it to be an hour and a half. most of those were more experimental, but they didn't really fit the flow that i was establishing.

sonny sharrock - black woman
kidd jordan trio - so often
brigitte fontaine & areski - je suis venu te voir
turid - valkomme-hus
wang weiping - wang shaojun
the functional blackouts - i'll be famous... when i'm dead
a-frames - frankenstein
black time - ambulance
the intelligence - dating cops
demon's claws - who needs a girl?
m.k. maltseva - south russian solo song from belgorod province
the daisy chain - zzotto
kevin ayers - shooting at the moon
1/3 octave band - capacitance
sculptress - yume
rosy parlane - guitar loops
the goslings - flowerpot
the mans - high
magic is kuntmaster - dots

total running time: 66:18.

new and improving! i should've had this one done on friday, but audacity was giving me issues. i learned that it was easier to record the episode in segments and then mesh them all together afterwards. waaaay easier.

here's the track list:

cpc gangbangs - i want blood / life support
the trashies - the cps took my baby away
tractor sex fatality - live it down
cococoma - 6 1/4 125
ruth white - owls
gator surprise - a friendship
mother tongue - the humble man
nackt insecten - tunnel vision
midmight - seconds here and there
orphan fairytale - speaking spooky 2
6majik9 - jessica simpson
weak sisters - i wanna fuck myself
the casket sinkers - baked beans, brains and spiders side a
olivia block - heave to, part one (excerpt)
charlotte hug - dweller
kelvin pittman - split with joe foster (excerpt)
fred lonberg-holm, jason roebke & glenn kotche - the squimp
francoise hardy - fleur de lune
liz allbee - leisure sport overlords 5/06
newage panther mistique - #1
begum akhtar - balamwa tum kya jano preet
lockweld - abbeyville rd.
hexmorb - careless young masters 1

feel free to comment!

whew, i got one done! i think it turned out good, considering it was my first time doing this and that i really dislike talking through a microphone. or talking in general, but that's life, so i'm just screwed.

i managed to get in a few different genres, while still maintaining a semblance of flow. that makes me happy. feel free to comment, like i said, this was my first attempt and any feedback you have will be greatly appreciated.

guilty connector - beats, noise & life
the gories - six cold feet
the gun club - promise me
the digitariat - shouting at passing cars
toshimaru nakamura - nimb 32
gerritt - the random ones
jason kahn - bass drum + snare drum + floor tom + bells
kaffe matthews - this many planes 7" (side a)
pain jerk - tick tack tumor
kites - tears of the youth
death chants - passing by
wooden wand & the vanishing voice - party with me pinko
ashtray navigations - diamond fin shark, his home is the ocean
akitsa - sang nordique
knit witch - bell, book and candle
pissed jeans - people person

the show's about sixty-five minutes long.
