Artificial Radio Hour with Rev. Dr. Dr. Phill Part 18

Hey there folks!

Back again with a regular, shorter show. Only one, real big, podcast clip here. There was too much neat stuff in this Chuck Klosterman interview that I just couldn't bear to trim it down much.

Chuck Klosterman

A lot of thoughts on aging, and legacy, and the future. Neat stuff. Hey, I just had a birthday, whadaya want?

To accompany it, I chose a bunch of jazz from the 50's and early 60's. I listed the full group lineups because, well, it's jazz? It's what's done I guess.

Wayne Shorter, Art Blakey, Lee Morgan. Lee & Wayne weren't in the group in 1957.

I'm thinking some type of electronic music for next week. Does anybody have any requests? (Look you guys, I have 93,574 mp3 files on my hard drive. I've listened to quite a bit of it, but I appreciate any tips & suggestions from you about where I should poke around in my big music cavern next. Suggest away!)

Until next week,

Enjoy!

Artificial Radio Hour Birthday Special

Sherrif John!

Hey folks!

It's my birthday today, so here's my present: a whole crapload of music. A "fun" fact: some of you may have been born in the same year(s) this music was recorded.

I hope you have a great day today, and also on your birthday whenever that might be.

Artificial Radio Hour with Rev. Dr. Dr. Phill Part 17

I remember 1983 pretty well. I was only seven, but I guess it was memorable.

There are two podcast clips in this episode that reference 1983, which is odd because I had chosen the clips for this show before I'd chosen a theme. Pure coincidence, believe it or not!

I don't know if you can tell, but the dates on the Hour of Slack podcasts don't always reflect when the original material was made. I'm pretty sure the Minute of Slack & I Wanna Die 4 "Bob"* clips are from the mid, if not the early 80s.

I like Liquid Liquid, they evoke an early 80s NYC club scene I've never seen but can imagine, sort of.

Their records inspired early hip-hop, as did the South Bronx's own ESG (the Scroggins family!). DJs would play their  EP at a slower speed to stretch it out, which is what I did here. (I just noticed UFO is from 1981, but I'm leaving it in because I like it.)

I went for New Order's big album cut for '83, but I don't know about all these pop tunes. Am I selling out now?

Ruby is back, and we close with Su Tissue & Suburban Lawns who used to play at a place near my house if I'm not mistaken.

Enjoy!

Balls Pyramid. Crazy, right?

1982! Part 2!

I couldn't cut it down, so here's part 2 of 1982. This one actually has a hit pop song in it, see if you can spot it!

Nash the Slash

Some notes on this episode: Nash the Slash was a Canadian musician known for dressing like the Invisible Man and playing an electric violin. He was great.

Two songs on here are not from 1982, one is the theme to Bojack Horseman which is from a podcast and the other is a chiptune version of Stairway To Heaven that I put underneath a cut-up tape of two DJs talking (in 1982!) about the supposed "secret messages" in that song.

Rev. Susie the Floozie

I Feel Love is not from 82, but it's just a 4-second loop so I'm not counting it.

Steve Fisk is a musician and record producer from the Pacific Northwest who has worked with some great bands but I don't know anything about the track included here. It's pretty catchy, though. (It is originally acapella, I added the loop.)

Transformer Man is from my favorite Neil Young album, Trans.

The Wiggin sisters, late 60s

If you've never heard The Shaggs, just know that their 1982 album is a heck of a lot more polished than their earlier stuff, which sounds like they're all playing different songs. I'l probably put some Shaggs' older stuff in a future show. It's a lot of fun!

The Wiggin sisters, late 2010s

The Adventures of Ruby (which was originally broadcast in 1982) will return next week.

Enjoy!

Artificial Radio Hour with Rev. Dr. Dr. Phill Part 15

(I was so ahead of schedule, I forgot to make this blog post!)

 1982 is creeping up to nearly an hour, it seems there are a lot of things I wanted to include. That's why it's a two-parter! This one is To Be Continued...

Zoogz Rift!

 Zoogz Rift is great. He was a wrestler!

The NWW List

This list of bands, the "Nurse With Wound" list, might be the most well known thing about the band. It was included in one of their early records. It served as a shopping list for weirdo music lovers.

I pasted the Chas Smith piece (keyboard drones) on top of the Nurse With Wound piece (stereo ping-pong percussion, weird echoy vocal samples), they work well together I think.

Suzanne Ciani is neat, she might have fallen into the category of New Age music at the time. She also did a lot of commercial work.

I hope the Welcome To Night Vale clip makes sense out of context (actually, I hope all of the clips make sense).

Wendy Carlos & cats

More Tuxedomoon! More Ruby! More Mission Of Burma!

Laurie Anderson

O Superman is another one of those songs I could listen to all day.

More 1982 next week! As always, leave a comment here, the Internet Archive page, or twitter!

Enjoy!

Artificial Radio Hour with Rev. Dr. Dr. Phill Part 14

It's 1981!

Some more Fred Frith, but no more Tuxedomoon, although I went back and forth on that. Punk, post-punk, post-post-punk, post-chamber, and my own severe manipulation of a German experimental woodwind track to back up a spoopy story on My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

Not shown: Guestspert Patrick Rothfuss.

I like chopping stuff up, but it takes a while sometimes to really get into it. On the Bass
flute track, I mostly just layered a backwards version on it, cut some bits out, and added
a bit of delay here and there.

Enjoy!
