Sorry for the mega-delay in getting this one up. Next week's show (another special!) should be up later on this week. I've already had to remove episode 1 to make room for this so if you haven't heard show 2 yet you'd better get a move on!
Playlist:
Cardiacs - Insect Hoofs on Lassie Killing Time - BOB The Unthanks - Queen of Hearts Fred Dutch - A Ke Kee Shoo
BIG LONG SONG: Gryphon - Ein Klein Heldenleben
Wondeur Brass - It's Insane Johnny Pearson - Thunderbird Dutch Uncles - Dressage Lars Hollmer's Looping Home Orchestra - Ett Tungt Ok White Noise - Firebird
A special Japanese edition of the show, featuring everything from free jazz to prog rock and even a little musique concrete - all of it Japanese in origin!
Playlist:
Polysics - Ah-Yeah!! Flower Travellin' Band - Satori Part 1 Toru Takemitsu - Sky, Horse and Death Demi Semi Quaver - Shounen Mona Lisa Yamashita Yôsuke Trio - Ecstacy of the Angels (extract) Bondage Fruit - Kinzoku No Taiji Makigami Koichi - Electric Eel Wha-Ha-Ha - On the Floor Nobuko Hori - GGGGR Ruins - Wanzhemvergg YMCK - Does John Coltrane Dream of a Merry-go-round?
Eclectic as ever, this week's show features everything from DIY electronic jiggery-pokery to shiny UK math pop and long-lost acid folk meanderings. And with the news that Godspeed You! Black Emperor are gearing up to record their first album in nearly a decade, I decided to dip into their 1997 debut (uber-limited cassettes notwithstanding) "F♯ A♯ ∞" for this week's BLS.
Playlist:
A Clean Kitchen is a Happy Kitchen - Pigeon Song Everything Everything - Schoolin' Linda Perhacs - Parallelograms
THE BIG LONG SONG Godspeed You! Black Emperor - East Hastings
X-Legged Sally - Killed By Charity Erkki Kurenniemi - Antropoidien Tanssi Thumpermonkey Lives! - 419 Ben Butler & Mousepad - Electric Bamber-Boo Arch Garrison - King of the Down
Another sack of assorted musical oddities, including an epic slice of cult acid folk trio Jan Dukes de Grey.
Playlist:
Deep Turtle - A'La'La'La CÂLIN - Money Poney Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Bat Chain Puller Hauschka - Two AM Jean Louis - Doom Terreno Baldio - Curupira Hella - Untitled
THE BIG LONG SONG Jan Dukes de Grey - Sun Symphonica
Modified Toy Orchestra - Qwerty
Another eclectic blast of experimental rock, jazz, folk and electronica, this week including an extra-big helping of everyone's favourite eyeball-headed anti-popsters, The Residents!
Two apologies:
- The recording chopped off the first track and a couple of sentences thereafter. I've reinserted the missing Knifeworld track but I couldn't be arsed with recording a new link so it might seem a bit jarring.
- This should have been up nearly a week ago, but life got massively in the way. Sorry chaps! This week's episode should be up by the weekend at the very latest.
And the playlist:
Knifeworld - Pilot Her Trippple Nippples - Drink the Haterade Belbury Poly - Lord Belbury's Folly Marnie Stern - Ruler Kombinat M - Bored to be Wild
THE BIG LONG SONG The Residents - Six Things to a Cycle
Trembling Bells - Otley Rock Oracle The Diagram Brothers - My Bad Chest Feels Much Better Now Tub Ring - Flash Sun Ra - Abstract "I" Cosa Brava - Falling Up (For Amanda)
