It's December, cuttlefish. Let's do some live radio!

If there's anything you want to hear, just let me know.

Cuddle, fish!

Cool

This is what I wanted to hear...good job

We pride ourselves in our mindreading skills here at WPRB, Mike. It's an important part of all DJ training. Little known fact.

Higher education pays off again.

Hooray for technical difficulties. Gonna figure out why my mic isn't working...

Giving us the silent treatment?

Record scratch it out in Morse code! H E L P !

Gahhhhh

Here I was thinking I was doing a talkset, and nothing was coming out

And you're back! 🐙 Hey, DJ Dan *waves*

Hearing music now...

Yes!

Thanks for letting me know I wasn't coming through, jimbeaux!

4'33"" always gives me the feels :)

The break may actually have been pretty close to 4'33"

There is actually an LP at WPRB studios of a bunch of Cage recordings that includes a full version of that piece. Back in 2003 or so when it arrived, the vinyl was very quiet

Hi, Christine! Thanks for bearing with my computer throwing a fit.

Computers are like that. Great show tonight!

I bet you and all the other WPB DJs are missing the studio mothership. The lovely stacks. I'm missing it, and I've never been there.

Yeah, there's a lot of magical stuff in there. A great place to do radio

Hey, what was over/under the last mic break?

Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza's "The Feed-Back"

One of Ennio Morricone's madcap improv groups from the early 1970s

Trying to convince myself too.

Yeah, this piece definitely hits differently right now than it did last time I listened to it however many years ago.

It's cool! Saccharine Trust could do this one up.

Or Horse Lords...

Jim....that’s a SSt band you don’t hear mentioned much.

The quiet urgency brought it to mind...

Yeah, either of those would be pretty killer

I played in a performance of this once, and let me tell you, it was one of the most stressful performances of my life. This piece is HARD

Cool...thanks for introducing it! What were you playing?

Viola

Now i see the Alvin Curran, Rzewski & MEV connection!

Oooh, thanks for playing Saccharine Trust! SST records...came for the punk, stayed for the skronk.

Happy to! Skronk punk pretty much described my tastes for a while there.

Did you ever listen to any of the Unknown Instructors' albums?

No, will check em out!

It's another Joe Baiza project with a whole bunch of other veteran skronk punks

Thanks for listening, everyone!
