Low End Theory

Sep 9, 2020 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

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!

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty :)

Why did I think Laika were from a Scandinavian country? Guess I never really checked.

"Laika" kind of sounds Scandinavian, I guess?

Good morning

Good morning, Saginaw!

A correction: after I recorded this show Judy informed me that the current ZBC schedule will go on another week.

Oh good to know thx! Still putting my 1pm show together.

Yeah...it did seem to be getting last minute there...I haven't heard anything from Judy myself...

I asked her yesterday afternoon.

She and Miriam are putting together the schedule, which is has been made more challenging than usual by COVID and the new rules regarding studio use by students

Not to mention the usual vagaries of student class schedules

She indicated to me that it was almost certain that we would remain at 8-10 given the dearth of students who wanted to come in to the studio at that time slot

But I would confirm with her

Don't forget about our Danse Society pact, Jeff!

Yeah...it was hard when there were just 10 ModRock slots under normal circumstances to fit peoples schedules never mind now..

Thats good....

Schedule changes? Come what may, thanks for the weeks of entertainment, AH, PC, JB.

Your welcome, but we are hoping to remain where we are

"we" meaning Peter and I. Not sure what Jeff Berlin has in mind

I hope you all remain. I do realize the time and effort it takes to do a show.

As for JB, he said he's not needed at the Z, but he is wanted

Yes he is!

Good mMorning DJ O and fellow Z fans

Good morning, Jamie!

Lol. Spinitron is going crazy trying to identify this song

it got it after three tries

Got your email Andrew, will check out that guitarist, 1st quick listen was cool.

Great! I was wondering if that email still worked for you

Did you hear my reflections upon your show?

i didn't, i just tuned in durng Danse Society, which seemed appropriate

I'll listen back to the earlier part of the show later

I'm diggin this mood this morning

I appreciate the plug!

Thank you! The homily on Psychedelic Regressions and Light Shadows is around the 30-minute mark of the first hour

Very cool, thank you!

If you recall, you, JB and I made a pact to play the Danse Society song, lol

and i'm psyched to see we have at least another week...

Hopefully, we will all stay where we are

I do indeed remember, and I threw in a double dose in my show. It's onna be a spacial one.

Hooray!

I listened to the new Danse Soc. last week...not great...there seems to be a lot of drama amongst the members from the looks of their facebook page!!!

Oooh. Facebook drama! This I have to see!

Mornin' Peter

Andrewwwwwwww! I've been enjoying your show for the last couple of months, and been meaning to write. So glad to hear you on the air! Hope you can continue into the fall.

Hey Jamie...Linda!

Hey Linda! how are you?

And Jamie.. I had NO idea that you'd been on the air for so long. Though I of course remember you from the early 90's. Now I've got to stay up and catch your show later.

I took a 20 year break, but started subbing a few years ago. It's been such a privilege doing a regular show again.

Hey Linda! So glad you could join us!

I am also hopeful I will remain at this time slot for the Fall

I *love* your informative breaks. Always did.

Aww, thanks :)

Nobody did power punk pop like the Buzzcocks. Nobody.

#truth

indeed

oooh, i like this...

A new discovery!

I'll definitely check this out too. My son turned me onto Slift, do you know them?

Enjoyed the show AH....now I'm off to record mine...

Slift are all kinds of awesome!

C U later, Peter!

Later, Peter

Have a good day all!

Thanks for joining, comrades!

Great show Ouroboros Thx !

Will keep my eyes on the schedule. In the meantime, pls send some sane Canadian vibes down here..

Hey Linda :)

Yo, yo, Jeff!

Will try my best, Linda

See you this afternoon, Jeff

Checking in...nice show, Ouroboros!

Thanks so much!
