Low End Theory

Jan 19, 2021 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!

Good Morning DJ O!

T-minus 26 hours, and counting.....

Good morning, JC

Yes, the dank and fetid darkness of these past four years is beginning to dissipate

Frankly, once Twitter banned the orange one things immediately began to get better

agreed.i really wish they had done it long ago. I also read this morning that Parler now hsa a new home in Russia

i really like ths Sanguine Hum track

They are a recent discovery with a fairly meaty back catalog.that I have every intention of digging into

Of course, Russia has come to the rescue of Parler. Grrr

This is a very satisfying read if you have the time today https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/trump-worst-president-history/617730/

@DJ O: will you be staying in this slot going forward?

hey...I'm having a zoom break!!!

Caught the first 20 or so in advance on mixcloud...

Morning, Peter!

Yes, I saw that you were listening on MixCloud bright and early

How many zoom meeting for you today?

only a couple but the next one is my weekly one on one with the CEO so I have to prepare...

I missed the only How to Destroy Angels tour somehow...They did Fashion a couple of weeks ago at that PayPerView Bowie Tribute and were fantastic

I was wondering if they had done anything of late.

I figured that Reznor and Ross have been too busy doing soundtracks and design for film and TV to do much with the band

I really want to see that Bowie Tribute

Fashion is a perfect song for them to cover

There was supposed to be a large NiN tour in 2020 but obviously that didn't happen...They did sell 2020 tour merchandise though!!!

Of course, lol

the atlantic article is great...

Very worthy of a Borat "niiiiize", lol

sorry late, i've been downstairs listening on my FM tabletop radio ! Greetings Low Enders..

Howdy, JB!

Peter, if you are not familiar with Corrections House, I think you would like them a lot

here's a link to the transcript of the latest "Gaslit Nation" podcast. Podcast is 2 hours long.. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5be3e193506fbe475c2856f7/t/600132de8740e017d69b57f6/1610691296768/GaslitNation_Transcript_ClearIntent.docx.pdf

JB, I listened to yesterday's show on MIxCloud and left you some comments :)

I have been meaning to check in with Sarad and Andrea since the Insurrection

I'm sure they have been taking no prisoners

Over the past four years, I have sometimes difficult to listen to them because they scared the bejesus out of me

I will check it out....

But they have almost always been right

gotta check my MixCloud now thx for listening. yeah, they've been right. "right about everything this election cycle, that the Trumps are a Mafia family, part of a transnational crime syndicate. We thought it could never happen here, but it has."

land of the glass pinecones!

My favourite HSR song!

mine as well.

Is that theramin or a human voice?

i dont know. it could be either. I dont rememeber them using a theramin though.

great show. Just the right energy to get some stuff done around the house.

Thanks, JC. So glad to be the wind beneath your wings, this morn ;)

Gotta love a band who call themselves "Sex Swing", lol

great show DJ Ouroboros thx!

Thanks, JB!

CUL8TR!
