Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from June 14, 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.

We have much to learn from unusual sized monkeys.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:08pm

I big tip 'o' the hat to Kogar The Singin' Ape, who was often the person that I originally heard about various monkey songs from. I'm sure he's responsible for half of this show.

Nice pronunciation Austin, cheers

Good Hello, Charles!

Austin Rich:

This recording of "The Story of King Kong" was found on archive.org. It's mis-identified; most likely it's from a kids record, and not from a 1938 radio show. But I couldn't track down any definite ID on the record. If anyone out there has any thoughts, I'd love to know!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:13pm

Token "Bonzo" song, because: Gorilla!

I think I've played this on the show as recently as 5 months ago... but I do think it fits in very, very often.

I've got a couple monkey masks, but they are buried with the Halloween stuff, and I'm not about to climb up there just for a photo.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:28pm
Krys O.:

I met Jowe Head a couple of times. My old pal, Wm Berger and I were such huge fans of his and of Swell Maps, of course.

Mask? What mask? 🦍

Ha, Scott! I never leave home without my monkey face on.

I owe it all to the ramencitykid, that I know of them. He would usually include them on tapes he would make me.

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

Through my old radio station, we put on a showing of the "Jandek on Corwood" documentary, and then I wrote a pice of my college paper about listening to every Jandek album. Then, by complete chance, he started playing shows again, so I got to see him twice, too. It was quite an experience.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:32pm
Krys O.:

I can spot the Jandek a mile away and even under water.

...for my college paper...

pygmy marmoset∅:

is there a monkey connection with that wipers song? i never noticed it
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:33pm
Krys O.:

Irwin had boxes of Jandek records everywhere and he gave them away to anyone who stopped by. We're talking early 80s.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:33pm
Austin Rich:

Some of the songs are connected to the narrative... like the captain just saying, "Where are We going?" and then I play this song...
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:33pm
pygmy marmoset∅:

...(or just works for the king kong story?)
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:34pm
Austin Rich:

Just before the Wipers song, someone said, "Let's Go."
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:34pm
pygmy marmoset∅:

right on.
(we were like 2 ships passing just then)
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:35pm

Didn't Irwin write about Jandek, too? I feel like that was in his book...?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:39pm
Krys O.:

Songs in the Key of Z
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:41pm

Yeah, that's the one! I thought there was a Jandek passage in there.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:42pm
Krys O.:

Yup

There's a Dead Moon song for every occasion.

I'm so glad I got to see a bunch of Dead Moon shows before they started dying. Those shows were so much fun.

See ya next time, Krys O!

I once got a personal letter out of the blue from Steven Roback of Rain Parade, promoting his new band Viva Saturn. I can't remember why he would have wanted to contact me at that time.

That's hilarious! Did you know him otherwise?

Mr. X:

I was in a band at the time, maybe he wanted us to consider Viva Saturn as a warm-up act? Can't remember. No I didn't know him. Though I did like Rain Parade a lot. Unfortunately, I was a bit gruff with him in my reply. I regret that.

I was OBSESSED with 13th Floor Elevators when I first got this album. I think my roommates might not have appreciated that as much as me. (They rarely do.)

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:06pm

I got to see him a couple times before he passed. He was great! He looked confused, until the put a guitar in his hands, and could hear it playing through the sound system. Then he seemed to calm down.

i think i was (?) a bit obsessed with easter everywhere, especially the opening and closing tracks

Thee Headhunters was a Eugene band, featuring Ryder Green, the ex owner of Green Noise Records, on Bass.
Avatar 10:24pm
Mr. X:

There was another Headhunters band from Eugene, in 1985. My friend Matt Griffin played bass. Their song "Anorexia" was a local hit. They eventually moved to Austin and re-named themselves Voice of Reason.
