Low End Theory

Mar 4, 2021 6:00 AM β€“ 8:00 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?

Saginaw 6:09:45 AM
Good morning
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:11:37 AM
Good morning, Sagninaw!
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:12:19 AM
Thank you for joining me so early in the morn ;)
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:12:39 AM
Are you a Nick Cave fan?
Saginaw 6:18:29 AM
Yes. You can't go wrong with NC
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:18:55 AM
This new album with Warren Ellis is pretty intense
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:19:51 AM
I still have a hard time believing that he can sell out arenas
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:20:25 AM
Last time he played Toronto he was in the Scotiabank Arena, which is like playing g the Garden
Saginaw 6:22:02 AM
Had tickets for his 2020 tour. At the Orphieum
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:22:40 AM
:(
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:22:54 AM
The Orpheum is much more congenial
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:23:30 AM
Did they ever restore the Orpheum after charging a restoration fee for decades?
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:24:00 AM
I had tix for Swans and Neubauten
Saginaw 6:24:14 AM
It's still standing.
Saginaw 6:24:59 AM
Yes, had tix for Neubauten
Saginaw 6:25:49 AM
I think the restoration had a lot to do with plumbing and electric
DJ Ouroboros (host) 6:31:44 AM
Well, as long as they actually did it, my faith in the world is restored, lol
Saginaw 6:46:08 AM
I know someone that works for the Shubert. Large amounts of money was spent on the two
Saginaw 6:51:59 AM
My friend had this in the film canister. Was so cool
PeterC 6:59:32 AM
Hi Andrew
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:02:50 AM
Morning, Peter!
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:03:22 AM
I am blown away by this band, Genghis Tron
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:03:59 AM
I was not quite a metal fan when the first prowled the earth in the 2000s
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:04:41 AM
But they are preparing a fresh musical assault some 12 years after they initially broke up.
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:10:08 AM
BTW, @PeterC, you did not miss much at our meeting yesterday
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:10:21 AM
Ill fill you in on email
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:10:51 AM
Really diggin the latest Alchemy Unbound
PeterC 7:24:39 AM
Ok and thanks on both counts
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:27:22 AM
Was it Helen Money who you played?
PeterC 7:46:29 AM
Yeah. The new Helen money. Is called atomic
PeterC 7:47:39 AM
I think she’s friends with albini? She opened for shellac when I saw her and I think he produced some of her stuff as well
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:47:57 AM
Yes, she's pretty awesome. Somehow, I missed that album when it came out
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:49:10 AM
If you like Helen Money you should check out Jo Quail, another avant cellist
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:49:34 AM
She moves in the avant/experimental heavy metal circles
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:49:46 AM
she literally plays a cello made of metal
PeterC 7:51:38 AM
Yes, but not a bob rutman steel cello!
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:55:31 AM
Wait, I actually played the title cut from the Helen Money album just five weeks ago! Too much good new music to remember!
DJ Ouroboros (host) 7:58:00 AM
That's all folks! CUL8tr!
Saginaw 7:58:47 AM
Have a good day
