We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It  Fever [Variable pitch]   Favoriting What's The Point 7"  WEA  1987  A little pitch shifting makes this cover a bit woozier. Peggy Lee brought fame to the Otis Blackwell / Eddie J Cooley composition. May our extra warping of this delightful Fuzzbox version ease you into the world of fever dreams...      0:00:08 (Pop-up)

The Illness [Pitched down]   Favoriting

The Illness 

WordSound 

1995 

Pitching the speed down for this classic from the "Illbient" genre. It gets heavier this way, deeper into your system... About the man behind Spectre: "Skiz Fernando Jr. started his career as a journalist. Writing articles in different fanzines or magazines like Rolling Stone, interviews and records' back cover, he published in 1994: "The New Beats : exploring the music, culture and attitudes of hip-hop" (Anchor Books). Thanks to 1000$ that he borrowed from the producer Bill Laswell, he founded Wordsound Recordings in December of the same year."

Kamikaze Palm Tree  Sharpie Smile   Favoriting Good Boy  Muddguts Records  2019  Dylan Hadley (White Fence) and Cole Berliner formed Kamikaze Palm Tree in their hometown of San Francisco in 2015. Being lifelong friends and collaborators, the duo imagined a debut album and performance that brings together their noise rock background, with the theatrical and the epic. With a penchant for the disparate, and psychedelic, the progression of their sound is far from linear. Kamikaze Palm Tree delivers an exciting and, above all, melodic mixture of psychedelia and post-punk.      0:05:28 (Pop-up)
Warmduscher  Eight Minute Machine   Favoriting At The Hotspot  Bella Union  2022  In cities across the world stand ugly modern obelisks called hotspots. They provide WiFi, a speaker on which to make calls, a screen displaying weather information, and sockets to charge electronic devices. You can assume that the local authorities who installed them there see them as glossy and futuristic, a way of painting over the cracks in society that were symbolised by the dilapidated phone boxes that once stood in their place. Around the hotspots, however, have grown little micro-communities making use of the services, populated by the eccentric outsiders that local authorities are so keen to sweep under the rug. The relative anonymity with which they can be used attracts a certain type of activity. “It’s the same old story with a new twist,” says Warmduscher’s Ben Romans-Hopcraft. “You see these dishevelled looking people but with smartphones, and you realise they’re just trying to score, but through WhatsApp. This album was produced by Joe Goddard and Al Doyle of Hot Chip.    *   0:09:04 (Pop-up)
Iggy Pop  Funtime   Favoriting The Idiot  Virgin Records  1977  Described by Pop as "a cross between James Brown and Kraftwerk", The Idiot marks a departure from the proto-punk of the Stooges to a more subdued, mechanical sound with electronic overtones. Recording for it began at the château in June 1976 and continued into July. Further sessions took place at Musicland Studios in Munich in August. Bowie composed most of the music and contributed a major portion of the instrumentation. Pop wrote most of the lyrics in response to the music Bowie was creating. The album's title was taken from Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel of the same name, while Erich Heckel's painting Roquairol inspired its artwork. NME's Nick Kent described the music as "totally rivetted and fettered to a thoroughly unhealthy aroma of evil and twilight zone zombie-time unease".Bowie biographer David Buckley called The Idiot "a funky, robotic Hellhole of an album".      0:11:28 (Pop-up)
Country Teasers  Thank You God for Making Me an Angel   Favoriting Satan Is Real Again  Crypt Records  1996  There are not any reviews of this fine record, Country Teasers second offering, however this user review on a small website offers the following: "A ton of raw punk songs, while the instrumentation doesnt really bring anything amazing to the table, the raw energy of the shoddy recording quality combined with the deadpan delivery of politically charged lyrics mostly about social issues. This records biggest weakness truly is just weak instrumentals." STAND THERE IN YOUR WRONGNESS AND BE WRONG BECAUSE THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING GREAT.      0:14:28 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ:
Dear Laika 

Liilac Moon, Reflected Sun   Favoriting

Pluperfect Mind 

NNA Tapes 

2021 

Pluperfect Mind, the label debut from the 23-year-old UK-based musician Dear Laika (a.k.a. Isabelle “Izzy” Thorn), is an extraordinary creation — a beautiful and singular oddity which exists in the liminal space between dreamworlds and a blurry, watercoloured version of reality. It is a reflection on the past few years of Izzy’s life, during which she sought solitude in the North Wessex Downs while beginning her gender transition.

Sonic Youth  I Dreamed I Dream   Favoriting Sonic Youth  Universal  1982  Originally an instrumental, the band eventually added random lyrics. Kim Gordon recalled in her 2015 memoir Girl In a Band: "All of us. I remember, wrote down lines on a piece of paper, and when it came time to overdub the vocal, I randomly cherry-picked from the list. It's a way of working. I sometimes still use. We told the sound engineer we wanted a big bass sound, like Johnny Rotten's post Sex Pistols band, Public Image Ltd. I whispered my vocals and Lee Ranaldo added his own vocal accompaniment."      0:25:08 (Pop-up)
Siouxsie & The Banshees  The Humming Wires   Favoriting Downside Up [B-Sides & Rarities Box Set]  Polydor / Wonderland  1984  [Steven] Severin: "I'd worked up the keyboard parts on a home demo the night before we went into the studio. Budgie replaced the minimal drumbox with a fantastic travelling beat then Siouxsie and I added guitar parts. We'd just seen Glenn Branca at the Riverside and I wanted lots of de-tuned guitar tracks battling each other. We created the arrangement by just pulling out the guitars in the middle to give Siouxsie room to sing."      0:30:16 (Pop-up)
Liars  New Planet New Undoings   Favoriting The Apple Drop  Mute  2021  Angus Andrew: "I always imagine this as kind of the ghost of the record. Looking back, it appears in this way where it floats in at the end. [It makes] talking about the past more of a recollection of how things occurred, and what I would have done differently had I been more aware. So it’s supposed to leave you with this chill."

Uranium Club  Flashback Arrestor   Favoriting The Cosmo Cleaners  Static Shock Records  2019  This band is from Minneapolis. Uranium Club play a kind of minimalist, agitated, catchy punk rock that reminds us of Wire before they released 'Pink Flag', but with an extra snotty attitude and bundles of energy.      0:43:39 (Pop-up)
Ludus  I Can't Swim I Have Nightmares   Favoriting The Visit/Seduction  LTM Recordings  1982  The band was founded in Manchester in 1978 by Linder Sterling, who in the arts and music scene is credited as Linder, having designed the cover of Buzzcocks' single "Orgasm Addict" and Magazine's debut album Real Life; and Arthur Kadmon, formerly of Manicured Noise. Shortly after the formation, ex-Nosebleeds drummer Philip "Toby" Tomanov and bassist Willie Trotter joined to complete the band. It debuted live at the Factory Club, supporting The Pop Group, in October 1978, recording a studio demo the same month. The following month, Ludus played shows at well-known 'punk' venues like Eric's Club in Liverpool and, travelling with Magazine, The Venue in London.      0:47:10 (Pop-up)
Joe Byrd And The Field Hippies  You Can't Ever Come Down   Favoriting The American Metaphysical Circus  Sony Music  1969  The American Metaphysical Circus is a 1969 album by Joseph "Joe" Byrd. It was recorded after his departure from the band The United States of America, and featured some of the earliest recorded work in rock music extensively utilizing synthesizers and vocoder, along with an extended group of West Coast studio musicians Byrd named "The Field Hippies". Among the musicians featured on the record are prominent West Coast studio musicians Tom Scott and the late Ted Greene, who is credited with the album's stellar guitar work in one of his few recorded appearances. Meyer Hirsch was a member of the Buddy Rich Big Band and is an experimental composer. Vocalist Victoria Bond has gone on to a prominent career as a classical composer, conductor and vocalist.      0:52:50 (Pop-up)
Mandy, Indiana  Nike of Samothrace   Favoriting ...  Fire Talk  2021  Much of Mandy, Indiana’s power lies in Caulfield’s shapeshifting, hammer-to-the-head vocals. Amid the formless noise and swelling synths of “Nike of Samothrace,” her adrenaline skyrockets as she attempts to dissuade a second, silent character—maybe a creepy man at last call—from following her home at night. “J’suis une grande fille, je sais où je vais, j’me perdrai pas” (“I’m a big girl, I know where I’m going, I won’t get lost”) In case you were wondering, Samothrace (also known as Samothraki, Greek: Σαμοθράκη, [samoˈθraci]) is a Greek island in the northern Aegean Sea. It is a municipality within the Evros regional unit of Thrace. The island is 17 km (11 mi) long and is 178 km2 (69 sq mi) in size and has a population of 2,859 (2011 census). Its main industries are fishing and tourism.      0:55:52 (Pop-up)
The Serfs  Vanishing Act   Favoriting Sounds Of Serfdom  Wasted Tapes  2019  The Serfs draw dark influence from a potent moment in ’70s Post Punk and New Wave, when synthesizers began to dominate the landscape and minimalism became the watchword of the day. It’s not hard to draw straight lines from The Serfs to giants of the cutting-edge synth movement of the late ’70s — Joy Division, A Certain Ratio, Cabaret Voltaire, Tubeway Army, The Units and early Devo all surface in some form or fashion in the band’s sonic architecture. This would all be little more than genre window-dressing without good songs and the Serfs have that well covered, as their songwriting is as impressive as their apparent record collections.      0:59:05 (Pop-up)

The Long Count 

Modern Love 

2022 

Delia Beatriz stands at a unique intersection in electronic music. As Debit, the Monterrey, Mexico-born, New York-based producer, DJ, audio engineer and live artist has released feverish club music, fusing the triplet rhythms of tribal guarachero with industrial techno grit. She has simultaneously explored the outer reaches of ambient music, with a taste for intoxicating dissonance

Crass  Health Surface   Favoriting Penis Envy  Crass Records  1981  Sung by Joy De Vivre. "The album's name is a nod to some of Freud's ideas concerning sexuality. This album marked a departure from the "macho, hardcore" sounds heard on previous Crass albums, featuring more complex musical arrangements, and exclusively female vocals (those of Joy De Vivre and Eve Libertine). The album addressed issues of feminism and attacked institutions of "the system" such as marriage and sexual oppression. The album was banned by the retailer HMV, and The Greater Manchester Police seized copies of it, along with other Crass albums and Dead Kennedys material, from Eastern Bloc record shop. Its owner, Frank Schofield, was charged with "Displaying obscene articles for publication for gain". As well as this, the band Flux Of Pink Indians, Crass' labels, and their publishing company were all charged on the grounds of the Obscene Publications Act. The heavy costs incurred by this would eventually contribute to the band's demise." Find it here: Crass Bandcamp: Penis Envy      1:12:03 (Pop-up)
The Chinese Stars  The Plague   Favoriting Release The Bats: The Birthday Party As Heard Through The Meat Grinder Of Three One G  Three One G  2006  This rarity from The Birthday Party (written by Tracy Pew & never officially released) gets a likewise rare workover from Providence, Rhode Island's "The Chinese Stars." From a tribute album shared w/ SSion, Les Georges Leningrad, Melt-Banana and Numbers, to name a few.      1:15:38 (Pop-up)
The Third Eye Foundation  Do The Crawl   Favoriting Wake The Dead  Ici d’Ailleurs  2018  The Third Eye Foundation is the project of Matt Elliott, originally from Bristol, England and now based in France. "Matt Elliott's work as the Third Eye Foundation melds layers of droning noise with clattering drums and harrowing samples, resulting in disturbing yet captivating reflections of a life plagued by fear and hopelessness. Elliott originated from Bristol, England, and his work has combined influences from the city's space rock, drum'n'bass, and trip-hop scenes. He'll often combine supremely fast, chopped-to-smithereens breaks with other drums or samples that are heavily slowed down or stretched out, producing an extremely disorienting effect. Following a burst of activity resulting in several acclaimed albums, singles, and remixes from 1996 to the beginning of the 21st century, Elliott put the Foundation on hold and focused on writing downcast, experimental folk-influenced songs under his own name, but he's revived the project on occasion." The Third Eye Foundation [Bandcamp]      1:19:39 (Pop-up)
Horace Andy  Safe From Harm   Favoriting Midnight Rocker  On-U Sound  2022  Full album releases tomorrow Apr 8. "Today, at 71 years old, Horace Andy’s voice endures. Time has been kind to the crystal clear tone that has served him throughout his 50+ year career; his latest, Midnight Rocker, is full of soulful cuts with production by British dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood..." "...In a nod to his Massive Attack collaborators, Andy turns up with a laid-back, earnest cover of “Safe From Harm,” syncopating the original’s rolling, sampled bassline while he reinterprets Shara Nelson’s iconic lead vocal. For his part, Sherwood honors the character and distinctiveness of Andy’s voice by presenting it alongside relatively uncomplicated production and arrangements. Occasionally there are some welcome flourishes of delay that remind us that Sherwood is among the great living dubmasters, particularly skilled at enhancing a recording with dub signature effects."

EXEK  (I'm After) Your Best Interest   Favoriting Advertise Here  Castle Face  2022  Excellently, Melbourne, Australia's EXEK describe themselves as "Post-punk we suppose" on their BC page.

The Meridian Brothers  Cumbia De La Relicario   Favoriting Cumbia Siglio XXI  Bongo Joe  2020  You know Babs is obsessed with a band if they appear two weeks in a row. This is the happiest of jaunty fever dream moments. Let us float away on a happy, wonky cumbia cloud....Meridian Brothers formed in 1998, in Bogotá.       
Hierophants  Shoemaker Levy 9   Favoriting Spitting Out Moonlight  Anti Fade Records  2019  Hierophants, not to be confused with the non-plural Italian metal band Hierophant, is made up of members from Ausmuteants, Alien Nosejob, School Damage, Parsnip, Orb and Traffik Island. A few bigwigs in one band. They play jittery, nervous post-punk/new wave-inspired indie rock. Their simple, catchy songs feature buzzing organ and a thin layer of echo, along with lyrics expressing stress and frustration.       
Midnight Sister  Sirens   Favoriting Painting The Roses  Jajaguwar  2020  Inside the velvet-lined world of Midnight Sister, Juliana Giraffe and Ari Balouzian party like it’s 1972. The Los Angeles nu-disco duo make lush, seductive glam rock informed by their respective fields: Lead vocalist Giraffe is a filmmaker and visual artist, and composer Balouzian writes movie scores. Their visually rich approach draws on a pile of colorful references, among them vaudeville, glitter rock, and Lynchian melodrama.       

Music behind DJ:
Dear Laika 

Phlebotomy   Favoriting

Pluperfect Mind 

NNA Tapes 

2021 

A consistent theme of the album is isolation, both from other people and from parts of herself, and the intention to overcome anxieties and reconnect. Pluperfect Mind also chronicles aspects of Izzy’s own transgender experience, from the painful tedium of waiting for hormone treatment to the elation of finally inhabiting a body that feels right. It captures the sense of being cast adrift between an uncomfortable past and an uncertain future, living outside of heteronormativity and caught in “queer time”. Izzy’s mercurial songwriting aims to suspend the perception of time, allowing the listener to inhabit an immersive half-lit world of mystical landscapes, volatile atmospheres and shifting rhythms. 

 

 

 
MGMT  Flash Delirium   Favoriting Congratulations  Sony  2010  We find it shocking that a search shows this has never been played on WFMU. Misunderstood by critics and fans expecting a very different album, Congratulations stands as a masterpiece of modern psych, one that predates...and perhaps inspires the last wave of psych revival. This album is perfect, this song is fucking epic.

Savage Republic were one of the other great bands influenced by Branca. "Tragic Figures" is a classic - and BEFORE Sonic Youth's debut.

true Tyler, when I saw that show, he wasn't playing. He was a Great Composer by this point. No punk club - this was at the posh Disney Concert Hall.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:49pm
Derek Westerholm:

Mr. Fab, I will have to investigate! I have heard their name forever, but for some reason not really ever delved into them
  8:51pm
Tyler:

@Mr Fab - Wow - very cool & surreal that you saw him at the Disney Concert Hall. My only point of reference is seeing some cool bands play Kingswood Music Theatre at Canada's Wonderland and the first Lollapalooza tour - strange to see shadowy nightclub bands in the full blazing summer sun.

you guys would LOVE Savage republic. like Sonic Youth's guitars/shouted vox, but with industrial percussion. Maybe because they were from LA, but they had a kind of surf/tropical feel to their tense, paranoid post-punk.
