1988-06-15 Every Week I Have a Strange Dream

Image via WikipediaEvery week I have a strange dream. It is different than normal dreams. I construct the components consciously, but when I put them together it is a mysterious process where all of the parts I assembled fit together in strange and unexpected ways. It becomes an unconscous creation of conscious elements, and in that way it is very much like a normal dream. The difference is that I get to share it acoustically with my listeners, and this trans-personal element is very much non-dreamlike.  Dream along with me!

No play list read this week, so I am not really sure what all is in here, I can identify some of it but not very much. Dreamy.

1988-06-08 Escape from Noise

Image via WikipediaNoise is everywhere. And in 1988, noise music was gaining in acoustic prominence as well. So, this program takes an opportunity to explore that new noise, and it leads to laughter, contemplation and an often odd coincidence of how noises come together. For the serious noise enthusiast only. Oh, and this is all sparked by the Negativland release "Escape from noise."

Music included: Negativland, Chrome, Masked Men, Tuxedomoon, Laibach, Coil, Virgin Prunes, Jackhammer Five, Nate Myer, Chris & Cosey, Cassiber, and a lot more.

1988-06-01 Stairway to Hell

Image via WikipediaBob says, "Hello." You see, your head is 2/3rds of your problem. You need to get away from that, stop thinking, live in faith and send Bob some money. "It's a brand new day," sings Bob, Robert Tilton.  Music and voices are combined. All of this religious stuff, but we lead of with Monte Cazzaza's "Stairway to Hell" after Bob sings.

Music and voices included: Bob Tilton, Monte Cazzaza, Survival research Labs interviews, test Department, Zoviet France, Coil, Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling,  Manufacture, A Split Second, Tuzedo Moon, Blaine L.

1988-05-25 Industrial Music

I really like this one.

Here it is. I had spent a lot of time investigating and experimenting with industrial music, and while things did change, this program indicated a sort of conceptual achievement in which I discovered what I wanted to do with it. I also stopped and talked about the music a bit more.

Music included:  Mnemonists, Art Barbecue, Esplendor Geometrico, 93 Current 93, Nurse with Wound, Zoviet France, Controlled Bleeding, Gerechtikeits Liga, Haters, Convulsive Trance, Obscure Japanese Monster movie,  PGR, Blackhouse, Princess Tiny Meat and more (of course).

1988-05-04 Advice to Seniors

Image via WikipediaEnd of semester time at the University of Vermont. I take this opportunity to put together a radio show that can offer some practical (and some impractical advice) for students as they leave the womb of the university.


Music included:
Who knows? Advice needs to be discovered, not delivered on a silver platter. Lots of found sound and such. Thanks especially to Nurse with Wound, Negativland, 93 Current 93 and Dennis Wygmans.

1988-04-27 In His Name

Image by 666isMONEY ☮ ♥ & ☠ via FlickrNice promo for Phish show to benefit Vermont Reggae Festival in Ira Allen. I remember there was an ice storm that night and almost nobody showed up.

Lots of sound clips here from television evangelism and pentecostal outreach both in person and though the media. I got them from a couple of documentaries as well as from television broadcast. No real play list here, so let your imagination run wild.

1987-07-22 Creative Miracle

1988-01-20 Drummers' Plot

Image via WikipediaDrum beats are common on my programs, but these set a pattern to try and understand what their agenda is and what it is they mean. There may not be a clear answer, but we can enjoy the process of attempted discovery.  Yes, Satan can use drums for his purpose.

1988-01-13 Found Sound

Image by mararie via FlickrAnother January sign up show and I was having a lot of fun exploring different kinds of sounds and their juxtaposition. As William S. Burroughs said, "When you cut into the present, the future leaks out." Thus, this program.  Snippets and collage, but also the Insect Musicians project by Graeme Revell. Also, watch out for the subliminal messages behind the music here.

Music includes: PGR, Graeme Revell, Hafler Trio, Negativland, Touch Organization collage, Commodity Fetish and more.

Image by sirwiseowl via FlickrJanuary and students are not yet back on campus. WRUV-FM is in sign up mode, and I have signed up for this morning program to get things started. This is not too abrupt a beginning, however, and intends to try and set a mood for morning, in my own demented way. Mostly continental and European.

Music includes: Edgar Froese, Hector Zazou, the Residents,  Jane Siberry, Chris & Cosey, Anna Pigale, SPK, Throbbing Gristle, Saqarra Dogs, Honeymoon Killers, Anna Domino, Isabelle Antenna, the french Impresisonists and a lot more.

On the air in the morning, getting the day started with some new style beats. New? Well, it is 1988 so it might have sounded new then but not now, here in 2011. School hasn't started yet, so I just signed up for this show and did it. Just another mildly disturbing morning of music.

Music included: Chris & Cosey, Severed Heads, Negativland, Clan of Xymox, Hula, Legendary Pink Dots, Acoustic Iatrogenesis, Blackhouse, Laibach, Hunting Lodge, Cabaret Voltaire, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Commodity Fetish, Teargarden, and a lot more.

To be popular, one must be a mediocrity.
The solution is the problem.
The solution kills the problem.
Blessed freak show.
Perception of realism, the banner unrelative.
Somebody must have the last word.
The symposium of sycophants tell us that best is not always simple but simple is always best.
Art is dead, long live the new machine art.
Tatlin.
Oh, Armoury Show.

1988-01-11 What Pure Pop Won't Carry

Image via WikipediaPure Pop records has been very important in my musical growth through the years. But, although they have carried some impressively experimental music, they are still a store ando tend to stock normal music, although they have helped me special order some interesting stuff. But, there is a beyond to this. This program mostly carries music that Pure Pop won't carry, mostly imports. So, I went record shopping in Montreal and this is some of what I found. Of course, everything sounds better with a bit of television evangelism scattered over it.

Music included: Zoviet France, Graeme Revell and the Insect Musicians, and a lot of stuff that got cut off by the end of the tape when I was reading the play list. Oh well.

Image by Carl MiKoy via FlickrBy cool and calm I think I actually mean frozen and immobile. Stuck in an icy cave all you can do is think about things in a passive way because you are trapped. This is a Sunday evening show I did to fill in the schedule. Nothing too raw this time.

Music: Damon Edge, Blaine L. Reininger, Commodity Fetish, Missing Brazilians, Clan of Xymox, Negativland, General Strike, Graeme Revell and the Insect Musicians, Hula, Saqqara Dogs, Severed Heads, Teargarden, Sisters of Mercy, Tuxedomoon, Minimal Compact, Bel Canto, Blackhouse, Laibach, and a lot more.
