Low End Theory

Jan 5, 2022 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

ZBC Rock

With DJ Ouroboros

Welcome to Low End Theory. If I were to describe the aesthetics of Low End Theory as a musical territory or space, its borders would be provided by doom/stoner/psych metal on one side, contemporary prog and prog metal on another, experimental/electronic/folk on a third, and enclosed finally by the long arc of classic and contemporary post-punk that bends towards dub. The mission of this radio show is to conjure a farrago of heavy sonic fictions of sound, words, and music appropriate and fitting to the heaviness of the times. But fear not, this Low End Theory is not dour or depressing; on the contrary, we seek out the joyful and ecstatic in the acoustic depths of the low end’s vibrating, pulsing heart. And who among us does not need some joy anchored in the deep sonority of the low end, especially now?

Good morning, ZBC world!

happy 1/5

Thanks for joining

Your arrival was foretold

by you, lol

I’m not sneaking around

again into the light

good morrow DJO and co.....

cheers

Good morning, JC. Happy New Year to you!

you wonder where we are if we don’t chat right away so I let you know early

And I appreciate it ;)

have you completely mended from your bout of COVID, JC?

i thought so, but hve been feeling like crap since yesterday

ugh

pernicious bug

Are you doing your show tonight?

going to try and record it today.

I look forward to it!

Good morning, Sir and Happy New Year!

south’s finally gonna do it ... flip the world

i quite like ths Mdou Moctar

It's ferocious!

Morning.....

Morning, PeterC! Happy New Year!

u2 listening on and off this morning, but will be in the car after 11

car-ear

these ladies really are fun

ooh. I see Wet Leg are supposed to be playing Toronto on March 7

But I do not see a Boston show? How can this be?

boycott us

closest place is brooklyn steel

WTAF???

The universe is very unfair

But just bought tix for the Toronto show

You all should come visit me in TO and see the show!

Morning people .

that would be cool. if we are allowed to.....

Oh, you can come but you just need a PCR test

Morning, dash!

IDK. But the Bowery is controlling 1/2 of NYC and Boston bookings so I suspect it's at least partially a booking thing

Lots of shows are at brooklyn steel these days, fewer in manhattan than before ...

Didn't you already see Wet Leg Peter?

Listening while stacking firewood..

snuggle up

kindling

No, he saw Dry Cleaning, lol

Hye, JB, stack that firewood HIGH for us!

right! Dry Cleaning from South London. Wet Leg from Isle of Wight. How could I possibly confuse these polar opposite new trendy bands!?

lol

At this point Wet Leg could fill a larger venue. Chaise Lounge gets commercial airplay now.

I was listening to yesterday's SS this morning, JB. So much fun!

Indeed, they shifted Wet Leg to a much larger venue here since it was originally booked

yikes.. wait for the edited version ! I messed up a LOT trying to do it live

OK! I was only able to listen to the first 40 minutes or so thus far

yeah the 2nd half fell apart more.. Edited version is here, need to listen through before i post to MixCloud..

Thanks!

Thx for listening! Got you on now though. Back to stacking..

I read somewhere recently--like yesterday--that Gary Numan thought this song was a dig about him

interesting

Let me see if I can find the story

""Teenage Wildlife", the longest track on the album, is structurally similar to "'Heroes'" but does not feature a refrain; its verses only end with the title being sung over Fripp's guitar breaks. Its backing vocals are reminiscent of the Ronettes, while piano is provided by Roy Bittan.[13][34][35] The song's lyrics have been widely interpreted. One interpretation is they are an attack on Bowie imitators who emerged in the late 1970s, such as Gary Numan, who personally believed himself a target.

interacting, djo.

Great Bowie cut!

Thanks for joining, bruckner!

One of my fave Bowie songs, JB

thank you, sir!

Cool show today, Andrew. Re: Bowie imitators, I thought Bill Nelson’s Flaming Desire was Bowie and tired to find it in the Bowie stacks at Discount Records.

Thank you, Richard.

I have to say that I probably did not pay as much attention to Bill Nelson as I should have back in the day

thanks all....safe normal to you and yours

Take care, Rick

great show andrew

Thanks, JC. See you tonight!

BB4n. See you all next week!

happy 1/6
