Low End Theory

Aug 18, 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

G’morning Andrew.

G'mornin' DJO

Good morning! Thanks for joining, it was getting really lonely, especially since Spinitron is recognizing nothing this morning, lol.

Hey andrew...

Hi Peter! Spinitron scores at last!

Good morning

Good Morning DJO and company. Been listening in the van. Diggin the vibe of the show...

Thanks for joining, JC!

Dave Prescott really disappeared, I haven't seen him in decades...He just packed his bags one day never to be heard from again I guess.

He is alive and living in Wisconsin!

I actually talked to him a few years ago

actually more like ten years ago or so

He has made a name for himself in the treatment of sex offenders

He was working with abused children when he was still at ZBC...what depressing stories

He has a bandcamp profile, and I have been meaning to use it as a way of getting back in touch with him

I was wondering about this Angel Olson cover since you first mentioned it. Would it drive me nuts like the original? Now I realize that the original vocalist brought an image of Burl Ives singing to my mind. AO’s version is a totally different vibe.

It definitely is, Richard. She really brings out the dark side of the song. Same with Gloria

Dave Prescott's the one who had a wall of synthesizers? I remember he fired up a loop, we all went out, came back hours later synths were still looping themselves

Yes, it was an impressive set up

He had some interesting gear

I know Chris n Mary kept in touch with him for a long time. I dont know if Mary did after Chris passed.

He actually had Conrad Schnitzler visit him at his apartment...we took him to Doyles in JP and then we set up one of those cassette concerts he was doing in daves' apartment

Yes! I remember that

Her Gloria is awesome. The original was always a guilty pleasure and AO’s is equally good.

Enjoying the show while still power pointing..

oy, still powerpointing. I dont miss those days. Great show DJO. I like the Ange Olsen, gonna need to check the whole cd out

Which reminds me that I need to update my PowerPoint for my research methods class. Oh fun

The whole Anegl Olsen EP drops on Friday

and on cassette in September!

inhale deeply, comrades!

But not while Powerpointing, lol

Now, this is some mighty righteous stoner doom if I do not say so myself

indeed

gotta head to the store, great show! Enjoy the day all!

BB4N, JC!

Thanks for helping me through my Wednesday morning slog, DJO!

Take care, DJS. It was my pleasure

Later....

great show Thanks!
