Went to see a local band open for torche early last year. I never heard them and was like I'll stay for a song, it was school night. Stayed the whole set. They were fantastic!
Jen (host) 10:09:17 AM
oh that's cool - i have never seen them!
Colin McDonnell 10:10:21 AM
The local jobbers was Ecstatic Vision. Well worth checking out. Torche had huge sound.
Jen (host) 10:11:19 AM
That's good to know! It'd be pretty lame if they held back live. ;) Thanks for the tip on Ecstatic Vision!
Brian D 10:16:15 AM
Hello all hope you are safe and warm
Jen (host) 10:19:30 AM
good morning!
Brian D 10:19:43 AM
This Huns 45 is cool
Brian D 10:21:25 AM
Just emptied the pitcher. Shortbread cookie..
Jen (host) 10:21:47 AM
The Huns single is so great, right? Also loving this Skirts song.
Mark 10:23:52 AM
Haha oh the irony / just watched a lolita clip - James mason at his finest
Jen (host) 10:24:55 AM
I won't even ask!
Mark 10:25:34 AM
The 62 Kubrick movie / a classic
Jen (host) 10:29:14 AM
100%. Did you see that traveling Kubrick museum exhibit a few years ago? Loads of photos and artifacts from the films, and showings, of course.
Mark 10:38:02 AM
No I kinda remember hearing it was coming to NYC / now I’m gonna be spending way too much time watching the utubes about it :) nice Friday show As always !
Jen (host) 10:38:31 AM
nice, glad you are enjoying it! awesome!
Brian D 10:39:00 AM
Lizbot played several tracks from that RG to Avant Japan. So cool. This is great too
Brian D 10:40:56 AM
Haha should have seen the Banana coming !
Brian D 10:43:08 AM
At first listen they sound chaotic but i imagine it is very scripted and detailed
Richard from Rocky Hill 10:45:28 AM
I'm checking out the album Rough Guide to Avant-Garde Japan ... looks both interesting & awesome. Arigato!
Jen (host) 10:46:31 AM
You're welcome! Tons of styles on that comp - it's pretty great! No Melt-Banana, in case anyone is worried,
Brian D 10:47:57 AM
Wah wah gtr freakout!
Jen (host) 10:50:26 AM
Ha! Here's some more power garage.
Colin McDonnell 10:51:15 AM
I saw melt banana on the 8th floor of some (Since demolished) building across the street from the scientology church in philly. It was a great show. They played all thier short songs it was like 12 songs in less than ten minutes.
Colin McDonnell 10:51:34 AM
I think the it was called arts space.
Brian D 10:52:23 AM
Melt Banana = another cool thing i could only get turned into courtesy of WPRB. Like popcorn popping at 78 rpm
Brian D 10:53:29 AM
Loving the psych garage sleez turn here in the set
Jen (host) 10:54:01 AM
popcorn popping at 78 hahahahahah
Brian D 10:56:25 AM
Such a great show you have here Jen
jimbeauxtron 10:58:39 AM
Oooh Big Sleep! Friend of mine was their first drummer.
Jen (host) 10:59:33 AM
Thanks, Brian! And Jimbeaux - wow! You guys know every band I'm playing. Get out of my brain. ;)
jimbeauxtron 11:01:58 AM
Big Sleep and The Hong Kong shared a drummer and keyboard player for a while...easier to travel, gig together :)
Jen (host) 11:06:36 AM
What are your favorite new records??
Colin McDonnell 11:07:14 AM
My band opened up for Electric Frankenstein a few years ago. Very quality gentlemen!
Brian D 11:07:24 AM
That Frankie Witchfingers is going in my bandcamp overflowing cart
Jen (host) 11:09:35 AM
Colin - nice! Electric Frank is still around?? Brian D, NICE - be sure to get the last studio record too.
Colin McDonnell 11:09:58 AM
Check out Slagmatter on bandcamp. just put out a 3 song ripper last week.
Colin McDonnell 11:10:57 AM
A few years ago may = 10 years ago, we know how it is.
fr1dayafternoon 11:11:44 AM
Just tuning in, killer show so far.
jimbeauxtron 11:11:49 AM
not "new-new" but i got these Thai psych cassettes for same price as (and including) download https://khunnarin.bandcamp.com/
Jen (host) 11:12:07 AM
Colin, I do, and I'll check Slagmatter.
Jen (host) 11:12:25 AM
@fr1dayafternoon: Awesome, so glad you're here!
Brian D 11:12:39 AM
Larry Lewis reissue, Wau Wau Collectif (Sahel Sounds label upcoming release), both courtesy of WPRB listening. Have to listen to the new Paul Leary. And the new Mogwai. There's a cool comp of Dan Laksman (synth stuff) out. And a comp by Sinking Ships 1980. So many
Jen (host) 11:13:18 AM
@jimbeauxtron - fantastic! thanks for the tip! I'm more than delighted with "new to me" vs new.
Colin McDonnell 11:13:25 AM
Don't forget about ecstatic vision too!
fr1dayafternoon 11:14:06 AM
Only caught the end of that tune by The Big Sleep and I think I missed you say on mic break where they're from? A quick Bandcamp search had a lot of similar names, couldn't find that album.
Brian D 11:14:27 AM
Oooh new Black Sabbath Vol 4 Super Deluxe set! Just saw that
Colin McDonnell 11:14:57 AM
I've been on a south east asia psyc-rock and garage kick too. I'm taking notes on these new bands too. gonna be a good music weekend.
Jen (host) 11:15:29 AM
The Big Sleep is from Brooklyn, as far as I know!
Jen (host) 11:15:58 AM
I won't forget about Ecstatic Vision! This list is getting very awesome.
Colin McDonnell 11:16:53 AM
I recently picked up a comp called cambodian rocks from 1974 in an outdoor bargain bin outside a thrift store in the burbs.$2! It's fantastic! and no scratches
Jen (host) 11:17:37 AM
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Sleep_(band)
jimbeauxtron 11:18:05 AM
Cambodian Rocks is an amazing comp! Good catch Colin.
fr1dayafternoon 11:18:10 AM
@Jen Great thanks
Jen (host) 11:18:16 AM
WOW, Colin, that is a score! I think Kat was playing some Cambodian Rock recently - wild.
Jen (host) 11:20:00 AM
and no prob! Now i'm wondering if Big Sleep is still around...this requires further investigation.
Jen (host) 11:25:31 AM
I hope you all have been listening to this God Is an Astronaut song at ear-splitting volume.
Mike Reese 11:34:46 AM
