Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from May 10, 2022 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

@Kat: I think Bob Bucko Jr. introduced me to Arvo's music, so I reached out, and he sent me a care package of his music and art. I've interviewed him a couple times since. Interesting chap; I played a show with him opening for Blevin Blectum on my first tour.

I guarantee that the only thing addictive about Mid-Valley Mutations is the soothing sounds of the host's voice.

@Kat: I got to film Blevin twice when we both got to open for Negativland on the most recent West Coast tour. Blevin is SOOOO cool.

It's weird to listen to this conversation, and here horridus talk about playing a show while sick.

We used to do stuff like that before the pandemic. It sounds insane to me now.

He called the studio for this in 2017.

The phone is cutting out so much of the sound. We're only getting the high end.

I used to do a lot more stuff like this when I had a studio with a phone, and more actual gear. I've been meaning to outfit my studio with some device that can take calls / zoom chats / whatever, but I just haven't done it yet. Would love to get more live stuff like this going.

@Kat I saw Negativland once, they burnt some toast on stage.

Haha I've seen Negativland twice and there was no toast action :(
  9:21pm
ramencity:

Austin might've been at that show - maybe he remembers the background? I forget what the toast came from
  9:21pm
ramencity:

They also played the "Man with NNN Fingers" song, cutting off a finger after each verse (spoiler alert - it was a glove w/ fake blood pods in it).
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:23pm
Kat in Chicago:

I've seen video of that
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:23pm
Austin Rich:

Sadly, I didn't get to see Negativland until the "It's All In Your Head Tour," in 2007? And they don't do any of the classic material. (I heard that the burning toast thing became unpopular, because it was so smelly and potentially dangerous. But crowds seemed to love it.)

@Kat: when I get around to editing the footage I have of Blevin, I'll share it. I LOVE their style. Very cool stuff.

I should mention: Derek uses looping pedals and other devices, so he's playing alone... but accompanying himself many times over. He sounds like a full orchestra at times... but it's just him, and a few pedals.

Ellen Lovebug:

I first met Mark Hosler in Portland at the End Corporate Dominance event during the Icky's era. I was hosting a War Resisters League show on Radio Free Cascadia! at the time, and he gave me a copy of The Story of the Letter U and the Numeral 2 for the station

Eye mask?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:32pm
Austin Rich:

@AndrewBunny: I have the eyemask around here somewhere, too! I was thinking about trying to find audio of that show, as I remember it being a little different than the album.
  9:32pm
andrewBunny:

It was supposed to be live radio, so they handed out masks to make it a purely audio experience
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:32pm
Austin Rich:

@Ellen: at one show, they gave us sleep masks, so we could experience the "audio" better. (I still watched, as I'd never seen them before, and wanted to watch the gear Don was using.)

ramencity:

(film loaded and ready to develop) -- @Mr X -- I consulted my spotty list of shows seen, and that is indeed the same Negativland show I saw! Funny, I thought it was more late 90s. My note says the openers were "Arlan, Vince and Robert from Onomatopoeia"

I have an album by Aube that plays backwards like that, but on both sides. I got it from Anthem Records while I was living in Portland.
Avatar 9:39pm
Mr. X:

Austin wound up with a bunch of Arlan's tapes that had been maliciously disappeared from Arlan's possession. I believe Austin was able to get them back to him.
  9:41pm
ramencity:

Malicious disappearing in the worst. I spent some time early covid trying to make a list of shows seen, and it turns out Onomatopoeia won as band I'd seen most often - twenty times!
  9:41pm
Ellen Lovebug:

@Ramencity Arlan, Vince, and Robert are among my favorite people. I spent a huge amount of time with them in the 90s, Robert especially. I ended up playing a show with Arlan and Vince and playing a set with Arlan under our band name, Heart Therapy
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:42pm
Austin Rich:

I still have those tapes! I haven't been to Eugene where I could meet up with Arlan to return them.

My friend Colin bought that box of tapes from someone he met at Goodwill, who had this box and was trying to get rid of them. Colin bought them for like a couple dollars, and now gave them to me to return to Arlan.

As I understand the story: Arlan got kicked out of his place, and all his possessions were on the street, where a lot of his music stuff was all stolen.
Avatar 9:43pm
Mr. X:

Arlan had a radio show on KRVM which was a lot like some of the more collage-like editions of Mid-Valley Mutations. I can't remember the name of his show, though...
  9:44pm
ramencity:

I used to listen to that show but I don't remember the name either. @Ellen, that is very cool!
Avatar 9:45pm
Mr. X:

Yes, his landlord put all his shit out on the street, not knowing that Arlan had already paid his rent.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:45pm
Austin Rich:

As I understand it, that box of tapes (and a few others) were the backbone for that radio show. I was gonna sample these tapes and make a show, but that feels weird given that this is Arlan's IP.

Ellen is connected to all the OG Eugene folx.

Don knowns everything, but he would rather sit back and drink a beer and nod appreciatively when we get it all right.

Btw, Don Haugen does design work on the annual catalog of my brother's bicycle business, Co-Motion Cycles.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:50pm
Austin Rich:

That makes sense, Mr. X. Don's really good.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:51pm
Austin Rich:

Don and I keep threatening to get together soon, but "soon" keeps getting further and further away. At least a song of his will appear on a comp I'm almost done with... and a song of Ellen's will be on there, too. (And Chris / I Died.)

Whoops! Wrong speed! Now you can tell it was live.
  9:52pm
Ellen Lovebug:

Yes I am utterly thrilled about the compilation!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:56pm
Austin Rich:

That comp should be going to press soon. Just need to get one more track back from the original artist, who wants to do a new cut / edit of their song before we release it. (And we have to... their original song is an uninterrupted 30 minute piece. We need to cut it down a little, anyway.
  9:58pm
Ellen Lovebug:

It's worth waiting for

Sort of, Mr. X. There's parts that are more instructional, and others that are more demonstrational. I'm playing selections from both records at the same time, overtop each other.

Krause came out with a 1 record volume 2 to highlight new techniques. Found that one years ago in a used record store, but can't remember where. Mr X: it's pretty minimal. Each track highlights a different module or composition format on the Moog.

Classical mash-ups remind me of when I was stage manager at Beall Concert Hall, walking past all the practice rooms before the show, where all the musicians were warming up different sections of music all at once.

I love that idea, Mr. X. I'm sure that's how John Cage would do it.

Holst's Planets is a favorite. Though I first heard the Tomita version before any orchestral versions.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:16pm
Austin Rich:

I should check out the Tomita version. I have some of his stuff, but not that!

Planets is very fun. Super lively! It's easy to get into, because it sounds like movie soundtrack music before there was movie soundtrack music.

Ditto, X. Of course, at the time, I was obsessively trying to find anything vaguely electronic. Used to scour the electronic music section of the Schwann Catalog and my high school library for clues and inspiration

I feel pretty lucky, because by the time I was coming up, you could pretty easily find electronic music if you wanted to. But I certainly love all the early experiments in electronic music.

I think all his pets were named after celebrities. I know they often had a "band dog," who would travel with them when they would tour in the old days. I don't know if they continued that into the later years.

Minority Opinion, but: I think Generic Flipper is one of the few perfect albums ever made. No wasted songs. Perfect lyrics. Slow when everyone else was fast. Psychedelic when everyone else was punk. I can't get enough of this record.

Flipper was always that one band in the Subterranean Catalog that none of your friends had, so you had no idea what they sounded like. But later they caught on somewhat.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
Austin Rich:

My favorite Flipper story is that, in the old days, they would ask their friends to go to the shows to boo them and make a big scene about hating the show. As time went on, their "true" fans would show up with protest signs and anti-flipper t-shirts.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:42pm

Those early Flipper recordings are brill, but some of the later incarnations are hit-or-miss. They're one of those bands now where there's several dead members, so I think there's just one guy left anymore? But he keeps trying...

I need to get back to my hobo-epic, and play all these train records I've collected.

The 1985 sci-fi film Enemy Mine is worth watching.

I love that movie, Mr. X. I've seen it a bunch, as recently as 10 years ago. It's a really good piece of sci-fi, that sort of got lost in the mix there with all the other great 80's sci-fi.
