Christiana	Hydrofield Of Myth "Hydrofield Of Myth" by "Christiana"	Hydrofield Of Myth	High School Champion	2001	When I saw the artwork Babs did for this week's show, this album/song immediately came to mind: Christiana Hydrofield of Myth -- Notes, originally published in Exclaim! magazine: By Chris Wodskou / Published Apr 01, 2001 --> "Re-christened Christiana after toiling the better part of a decade in the Toronto pop trenches, the guitar-pop troopers formerly known as Neck are back to shower anyone who'll listen with another clutch of shiny, spiky pop trinkets. They're still playing fast-tempo, shamelessly heartfelt pop, years after it was fashionable, if in fact it ever was fashionable, with a ringing guitar sound that I haven't heard nearly enough of since Unrest called it quits. But trends and fashion never seemed to have counted for much for the trio of Dave Rogers, Paul Boddum and Andrew McAllister, at least since their early days when their sound could have passed for a somewhat noisier take on swirly Britpop. But the main thing that strikes me about their current incarnation as Christiana is their purity of purpose. Nineteen songs that barely clock in at a cumulative half-hour - their pop is to be savoured and perhaps even lingered over, but they're not going to flog you with a good chord progression for more than a minute or two. Obviously, there's no flab on Hydrofield of Myth, but it's still a meaty helping. And even if you don't pay attention to the words, you feel at home with the sentiments of the songs, alluding as they do to about 35 years of both sunny and minor key pop and all its attendant emotions. A real labour of loveliness. (High School Champion)"			0:02:03 (Pop-up)
Black Midi	Eat Men Eat "Eat Men Eat" by "Black Midi"	Hellfire	Rough Trade	2022	This song premiered yesterday. It is the second single from the third Black Midi album. It has an incredible video. "Musically, “Eat Men Eat” is a fusion of Rock and Flamenco, the latter being the working title found on early setlists. The lyrics, written by Picton, tell the story of a couple’s quest to overcome a militaristic Mine Captain cursed with an acid tongue as well as their own uncomfortable internal grumblings. The recording also features more than 50 fan submitted recordings layered into the end of the piece as well as palmas and various other percussive elements provided by Demi García Sabat. Its accompanying video was directed by Maxim Kelly." They will be touring the world extensively starting this Sunday Jun 19. Black Midi Tourdates		*	0:04:06 (Pop-up)
Moreish Idols	Hangar "Hangar" by "Moreish Idols"	Hangar (Digital Single)	Speedy Wunderground	2022	Brand new this week, in advance of release debut EP 'Float' (Out Aug 12th), the London, UK group have signed to Speedy Underground, and they made their Speedy Underground debut a few months back with digital single 'Speedboat'. Dan Carey sat in on sessions for their full EP, which is set to land this summer. The band's own Jude Lilley comments... "The most exciting thing for us as a band is capturing our performances live, which something Speedy is renowned for. Everything you hear in the EP is us in the room working together as unit - apart from Dyl who recorded his take across the whole EP in one! There’s something really cool about listening back to the takes and realising ‘this is what the room sounded like 5 minutes ago… and that’s us making the noise’. To us "Float" is a collage, and a demonstration of the band putting everything in the mixer and seeing what comes out (lyrics included) and it’s exactly what Dan heard before getting us involved with the label." Though most of their web-presence & press claims they only just started releasing material in April; a Bandcamp page w/ the same band & lead singer name indicate they've actually been active since 2017, so maybe check it out before their past disappears in the new narrative...

Music behind DJ: Badge Époque Ensemble	Zodiac (Ft: James Baley)	Clouds of Joy	Telephone Explosion	2022	New song & video released this week in advance of a new 3rd album (Clouds Of Joy, out Sept 9) from this ever expanding Toronto outfit headed up by Max Turnbull In addition to Turnbull, the band includes guitarist Chris Bezant, saxophonist Karen Ng, flautist Alia O'Brien, bassist Giosuè Rosati, percussionist Ed Squires and drummer Jay Anderson, and performs both instrumental music and songs with guest vocalists such as Jennifer Castle, Dorothea Paas, James Baley and Meg Remy. Their music blends jazz, progressive rock, psychedelic rock and funk elements. The wonderfully scene-friendly video (Dir. Colin Medley) shows a close-captioned interview w/ Jay Anderson about his tenure in the band, w/ many images of people and places that are known & loved in the Toronto Scene.

Pure Adult	The Power Of Incredible Violence Pt. III	The Power Of Incredible Violence Pt. III	FatCat Records	2022	Having grown up in the unusually sheltered environment of a church-turned-cult, Brooklyn based musician Jeremy Snyder has always found himself drawn to the harsh, dissonant music that was off limits during his formative years. Today, Pure Adult, the experimental punk band he formed in 2017 with contemporary dancer and visual artist Bianca Abarca, has released new single 'The Power of Incredible Violence Pt. III' via FatCat Records. The single, a visceral explosion of angst that calls to mind post-punk greats This Heat, addresses two questions; What does a hyper-violent oppressor perceive as violence against itself? What threatens the fundamental structure that upholds its violence?			0:18:17 (Pop-up)
Joe Unknown	Silent "Silent" by "Joe Unknown"	Silent	Darco Record	2022	‘Silent’ is a gushing, assault on the senses. Speaking of the track Joe says “I can’t really describe it, I feel like if u get it you get it, if you don’t that’s ok… you’re probably good in the company of silence” Musically Joe Unknown draws influences from the best of British; punk and hip-hop mixed with a spit of rhymes and on the nose lyrics that chronicle both sides to the day-to-day reality of life in Britain, through his eyes. There’s the relatable side everyone can connect to vs the honest side people don’t want to admit. His eclectic mix of influences and diverse sound sees him sit comfortably alongside his British peers such Kae Tempest and Idles as well as global artists like Tyler, The Creator and A$AP Rocky			0:23:07 (Pop-up)
Coins Parallèles	Un Trou Dans Le Tete	Demo	Contact Minimal	2022	Coins Parallèles is a solo project from Montreal and Yan Skene. His Demo is a 5-track cassette with excellent post-punk sung in French. It came out last week on Mangel in Germany, SYF Records (Poland), Urticaria Records (France), Tough Gum Records (USA), and Contact Minimal (Montreal). Un Trou Dans La Tete translates to "A Hole In The Head"...			0:25:38 (Pop-up)
Maraudeur	Face Figure "Face Figure" by "Maraudeur"	Puissance 4	Peroquebien	2021	These nine unique songs of „Puissance 4“ - the second album by Maraudeur of Leipzig, Germany - are completely Sci-Fi. They are opening up the view into various worlds inbetween seconds. Images I feel familiar with are transforming themselves to unexpected landscapes, driven by the strong integrity of bass, synth, and drums. If this would be a shuttle it would go back and forth on sonic streets guided by the vocals of the different songs, intersecting with crowded supermarkets, car traffic, wide beach and beaming portals to parallel universes.			0:28:13 (Pop-up)
Cumgirl18	Dumb Bitch "Dumb Bitch" by "Cumgirl18"	Dumb Bitch	Suicide Squeeze	2022	In a perfect world, we’d all be comfortable with our bodies. And we’d all be respectful of how other people choose to present and share their bodies with others. For a moment, it seemed the internet could help usher in this perfect world by providing a platform of interaction where physical appearances were a matter of our own invention. But of course, the assholes ruin everything. As soon as cumgirl8 began exploring the artistic possibilities of fusing the URL world with in-the-flesh performances, the assholes had to come in and ban them from social media platforms because of their name. Puritans, TERFS, and homophobes always find a way to impose their bullshit on the gender outlaws and sexual provocateurs of our times. Well, cumgirl8 has had enough of the archaic mores and narrow-minded values. On their latest single “dumb bitch,” the Brooklyn quartet take the punk attitude of The Slits and the scrappy after-hours throb of early electroclash and meld it into a dance-floor anthem of defiance and non-conformity. “Gender and sexual politics are the overarching point of the song,” says bassist Lida Fox, “but it also gets into how these dynamics play out in a society ruled by capitalism… how the roles we’re expected to play can become toxic and hypocritical to how we truly feel and so often we find ourselves stuck in patterns that hurt ourselves and those we love. It’s exploring the space between romance, masochism, pleasure, narcissism, and the balance of how much we give and take in our relationships.”			0:30:46 (Pop-up)

Honey Bane	Girl On The Run "Girl On The Run" by "Honey Bane"	You Can Be You	Crass Records / Bandcamp	1979 / 2002	"Honey Bane began her musical career at the age of 14 in 1978 when she formed the punk rock band the Fatal Microbes. The band released a split 12" record with anarcho-punk band Poison Girls the same year. The first single, "Violence Grows" garnered some press attention and was given positive reviews by the British music paper Sounds. After the 1979 breakup of the Fatal Microbes, and a stint in a juvenile detention facility that garnered more press attention, Bane began a collaboration with Crass, while she was on the run from the Social Services after serving a sentence at the St. Charles Youth Treatment Centre in Essex. Lending lead vocals and backed by the band under the name Donna and the Kebabs, Crass released the EP You Can Be You in 1979. It was the debut release on Crass' newly found label, Crass Records. The following year, Bane released her debut solo single, "Guilty", and sang vocals for Killing Joke on "What's the Matter" during a February 1980 gig at London's Venue club. The recording was later released on a bootleg album, Killing Joke - Live At The Venue LP." You Can Be You was re-released Mar 4, 2022.	*	0:47:32 (Pop-up)
Dog Faced Hermans	New Year "New Year" by "Dog Faced Hermans"	The Dignity Of Human Being Is Vulnerable	Bandcamp Self Release	1993/2022	Originally from the 1991 recording sessions for "Mental Blocks For All Ages", but only available prior as of 1993, until now, on a benefit compilation against the war in former Yugoslavia. In addition to this new DFH rarity upload to Bandcamp, they are also the subject of an excellent Bandcamp Feature this week. As always, I strongly urge curious listeners to investigate this band to the fullest, they are fantastic.

Folk Festival Massacre	I Saw It On TV	The Return Of The Folk Festival Massacre	Self-Released	2021	Having played Christiana (née Neck) earlier, it only seems fitting to play something new from Neck's original bassist Alistair McLeod, here joined by Minesh Mandoda in this incarnation of Folk Festival Massacre. This can be found on the Free Music Archive, if you so desire to find it: The Return of Folk Festival Massacre			0:56:14 (Pop-up)
The Fall	High Tension Line "High Tension Line" by "The Fall"	High Tension Line (Single / Expanded Shiftwork Album)	Cog Sinister	1991	Another song with Hydrofield artwork (and accompanying video!) This 12" A-side never found its way onto any proper Fall full-length, but that doesn't diminish its place in the canon.			0:58:04 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Nick Storring	Music from 'Wéi 成为' — II	Music from 'Wéi 成为'	Orange Milk Records	2022	(Out: August 19th, 2022) A preview of one of the tracks from Nick Storring's eighth album (and third release for Ohio's Orange Milk Records) takes the one-person-orchestra approach for which he is acclaimed and translates it to a single instrument: the piano. Recorded on everything from the innards of an old upright piano to a Disklavier (a computer-controlled acoustic piano) housed at Yamaha's Toronto offices, and using playing techniques that span conventional to idiosyncratic, Storring conjures a vast and vivid colour palette. Music from 'Wéi 成为' was composed for the choreography of his frequent collaborator, Yvonne Ng and began its life in a residency at the Banff Centre in December 2017. Just like the unique movement vocabulary found in Ng's quintet dance (Wéi 成为) Storring's copiously layered score moves fluidly between tender lyrical phrases and driving interlocking figures, and from thick textural swarms to supple transparency.		*	1:01:44 (Pop-up)
Pinch Points	Reasons To Be Anxious	Process	Exploding In Sound	2022	As the album title suggests, Process is a commentary on structural collapse; the systemic failures and baked-in inequalities that are ravaging ecosystems, the mental health system, the gig economy workforce and all aspects of our lives. The title Process also recognises the emotions processed and channelled in the songs, as a collective expression of empathy and shared grief. A true collaboration, finding consensus from the experiences of four individual humans, Melbourne, Australia's Pinch Points embody music-making as an act of friendship and community, upholding the band’s shared belief in the music scene as a real-life platform for connection, strength and solidarity.			1:12:05 (Pop-up)
Kat Haus	I Wanna Bite Ya "I Wanna Bite Ya" by "Kat Haus"	Manic	3523477 Records DK	2022	Kat Haus (She/Her) is an Airdrie, AB, Canada based Thrash Polka solo artist, hell bent on polluting the world with her hysterically-feverish-sounding filth. Kat's debut EP, Manic, was her first foray into writing, recording and producing although it cannot be chalked up to talent, but rather a hyperfixation disorder.			1:14:51 (Pop-up)
Psychic Weapons	All On Fire "All On Fire" by "Psychic Weapons"	All On Fire (Digital Single)	Self-Released (Bandcamp)	2020	Derek & Babs are in this band! This song has a brand new video directed by the super-talented Jesse Yules. There is a future album in the works, produced by Glenn Milchem (Blue Rodeo, Vital Sines.) We also play live first time in 2+ years at the Horseshoe Tavern this Wednesday, Jun 22. The show is for the re-launch of Jonny Dovercourt's essential book "Any Night of the Week: A D.I.Y. History of Toronto Music, 1957-2001." Also on the bill: avant-jazz legends GUH & DJ Don Pyle (Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet+ "Trouble In The Camera Club" author.) We won't play our own stuff very often, but we're excited all this & also wanted to share the video: Psychic Weapons - "All On Fire" (Video Dir. Jesse Yules)			1:17:48 (Pop-up)
Onyon	Dry Plants "Dry Plants" by "Onyon"	Onyon	Trouble In Mind	2022	Also haling from Leipzig, Onyon’s synth-soaked racket on their debut pits synth vs. guitar as they arc & dive-bomb around the rhythm section’s stuttering pace. Some used to call that “herky-jerky”, but this isn’t that intricate or precise. Onyon’s ragged magic lies in those imprecise recorded moments caused by excitement, fervor & feeling. Vocalists Ilka Kellner and Maria Untheim keep it cool, trading of lead duties in both English & German in a detached monotone most times while singing fantastical or mundane tales about shrunken heads, nature, cats & someone forgetting to water their plants. While the whole affair has whiffs of Kleenex, X-Ray Spex, DEVO, Chrisma and the like, Onyon’s debut also tips the hat to newer groups like the aforementioned Maraudeur, The Staches or The Cosmetics (but filtered thru a modern-day, urban-decay post-punk lens… that’s a thing, right?)			1:22:32 (Pop-up)
Pozi	Watching You Suffer "Watching You Suffer" by "Pozi"	PZ1	PRAH Recordings	2019	'PZ1' rattles along with nervous energy, frantic and frenetic, recalling the post-punk bands the trio bonded over, from PiL to Devo and Television. It’s refreshing to hear a punk band sans guitars. Brooks’ screeches and wails on an often-processed violin provide the perfect counterpoint to Burroughs’ own staccato delivery. Marc Riley of the BBC loves this band. So do we. All hail London's POZI! More punk without guitars, please!			1:24:50 (Pop-up)

Kübler-Ross	Koss "Koss" by "Kübler-Ross"	Kübler-Ross	Ice Machine	2020 / 2022	(Re-)Release date July 8, 2022. Kübler-Ross is a minimal synth/wave/industrial three-piece from Glasgow, Scotland, featuring Craig Clark, Katie Shannon, and veteran electronic producer and remixer producer Dave Clark, best-known for his Sparky moniker, and as one-half of the production/remix team Optimo (Espacio). First emerging in 2015 with a couple of compilation appearances, Kübler-Ross released their debut, self-titled album in 2020. Originally released as a limited-edition cassette on the Glasgow label Akashic Records, the album — now resequenced and released on vinyl via Suction Records’ minimal synth sublabel Ice Machine — is a collection of tracks recorded over a three year period in a variety of studios, rehearsal rooms, and gigs, documenting the musical variety and ferocity of their incendiary live performances. The Akashic tape, despite being low-key, under-the-radar, and released in limited quantity, managed to earn them a Long List nomination for SAY (Scottish Album of the Year) for 2020.

Al-Qasar, Lee Ranaldo	Awal "Awal" by "Al-Qasar, Lee Ranaldo"	Awal (Digital Single)	Glitterbeat Records	2022	Released June 8, 2022 in advance of a full length release Sep 16, 2022. "Middle Eastern psych-rock collective Al-Qasar’s debut album is an explosive mix of heavy Arabian grooves, global psychedelia and North African trance music. The band calls it “Arabian fuzz.” Brazenly electric and deeply connected. Guests include Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) and Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys)... “Al-Qasar was born in the Barbès neighbourhood of Paris,” explains band leader Thomas Attar Bellier. “I’ve lived in Los Angeles, Paris, New York, Lisbon… I wanted to start a project that was in tune with the daily life of people living in these international cities, something diverse, radically colourful, with a fresh, contemporary outlook on what societies really look like today”. The musicians came together, from France, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and the United States. Shows followed, first in France, then in Europe and the Middle East. They put out an EP, the widely-lauded Miraj, recorded in Cairo. In the same time frame, Attar Bellier collaborated with the likes of Emel Mathlouthi and Dina El Wedidi, two of the most exciting names in contemporary Arab music. Work on Who Are We? began in December 2020, with Attar Bellier composing eight tracks that writhe and roar in skilfully controlled chaos. Bass, drums and traditional percussion create a deep, irresistible groove for the foundation, while electric saz and guitars build a wailing wall above, with Moroccan vocalist Jaouad El Garouge’s ecstatic voice, steeped in his Gnawa upbringing, pulling inspiration from history as it strides into the future. Drawing on years of experience working in Los Angeles studios, Attar Bellier produced the album. Who Are We? translates the sound that inhabited his head into something physical that stirs spirit, heart and feet. It is relentless and insistent, like a psychedelic celebration on the dancefloor, bristling with the kind of deep energy..." https://glitterbeat.com/artists/al-qasar/		*	1:40:20 (Pop-up)
Neutrals	New Town Dream "New Town Dream" by "Neutrals"	Bus Stop Nights EP	Static Shock	2022	Just as there was in the late 80s and early 90s, there is still a small number of acts with an interminable sense of cool, who prefer to do things differently. Whether by considered choice, or simple natural proclivity, theirs is the musical path less travelled. Oakland, California’s, Neutrals appears to fall directly in between the above explanations, as they juxtapose all manner of indie-cool yesteryear, into a sound that they have made their own since the brilliance of the 2019, Kebab Disco, debut album. Starting with a core foundation of professional Scottish (indie-pop) courtesy of the Lanarkshire accent of Allan McNaughton (Giant Haystacks) and augmenting this sense of BMX Bandits demi-twee, with a caustic driven, jangly garage rock energy, their sound is the unreplicable mix of C86 ramshackle and The Undertones drive.			1:43:35 (Pop-up)
THE WAEVE	Something Pretty "Something Pretty" by "THE WAEVE"	Something Pretty Single	Transgressive Records	2022	The WAEVE came together after exchanging messages during the lockdown Christmas of 2020. They soon started writing songs before their collaboration “gave rise to an unexpected sonic universe”, per a statement. Inspired by “a shared love of English folk music, storytelling and the associated landscapes of this beleaguered island”, their music soon turned into something of their own, with “a cinematic breadth whilst maintaining an honest intimacy” and “guitars, saxophones AND strings lifting the songs into other stratospheres”. The WAEVE’s upcoming material is said to speak to “themes of oblivion and surrender, juxtaposed with suggestions of hopefulness and light”. The WAEVE are Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall.			1:45:12 (Pop-up)
NUTS	Children Of The DEVOlution "Children Of The DEVOlution" by "NUTS"	Living In A Vulgar Vision	Fettherz Records	2022	NUTS are from Cologne, Germany. They are classic Egg Punk. here comes the first full-length-album by nuts, my eggpunk alter ego. it's called "living in a vulgar vision" and i guess the title turned out to be quiet fitting & relatable. all the songs were written by me (jonathan hohmann). except c.o.t.r. of course, which was written by mr. bolan. i recorded all the songs on an old tascam 4-track (vintage!!!!!!). except follow the money which i recorded on an ipad. the song also features a guest appearance by shoshana zuboff. how cool is that?!?			1:48:13 (Pop-up)
Cluttered Grotto	Nasal Spray "Nasal Spray" by "Cluttered Grotto"	Nasal Spray/TV Screen	3893604 Records DK	2022	Concord, California. child prodigy. That's it.			1:50:23 (Pop-up)
Weak Signal	Poor People "Poor People" by "Weak Signal"	WAR & WAR	Colonel Records	2022	Weak Signal represent a constant on the N.Y.C. underground. The trio’s dark cinematic pop evokes late summer nights, apathy and urgency, buzz guitars over garbage trucks. The range of Bones’ guitar suggests he’s been lured by the sweet tone of Peter Green as well as the metallic attack of Paul Reynolds. The rhythm section of bassist Sasha and drummer Tran is the sound of summer thunder.			1:51:36 (Pop-up)

The Soundcarriers	All These Things	Wilds	Phosphonic	2022	Since forming in 2007 the band - comprised of Isherwood, Adam Cann, Dorian Conway and Leonore Wheatley - have released three albums that position them as a distinct and unique force in British music. Eschewing fads and trends that come and go, they have instead focused on honing their own sonic world that glides between woozy psychedelia, immersive grooves, subtle pop and rich, enveloping soundscapes.			2:02:58 (Pop-up)

	8:43pm MISZCZYK: Greetings, humans!!!!
	8:43pm Tyler: Hi Babs! Thank you! Thank you!
	♥ 8:44pm Zipperhead7: I recently talked with a friend who has a trans kid. He said his kid and friends feel that the present is a brief window where they can be freely be themselves, before the Right clamps down
	8:44pm Tyler: This reminds me of some Marshall McLuhan & Buckminster Fuller spoken word records I have - and the late-great Steven Jesse Bernstein.
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello MISZCZYK!!!
	♥ 8:46pm DJ Babs: @Zipperhead man, I sure as shit hope not but sometimes it sure does feel like we are fighting a losing battle right now for kindness and acceptance.
	♥ 8:46pm DJ Babs: That's why musicians gotta keep musicking....art is the mirror and conscience of humanity!
	8:48pm Tyler: My brother got me a pretty interesting-looking Psychic TV CD for my birthday but I haven't had a chance yet to listen to it.
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: I don't think we've played any Psychic TV yet on the beach, we're going to have to rectify that! Anika has done a cover of Godstar and it's very good, She did it live at the show recently...
	8:50pm Tyler: @Babs - cool! I'd love to hear that!
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm Derek Westerholm: Hello there Tyler, hello MISZCZYK, hello Mr Fab, hello Ali!!!

	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Derek Westerholm: Yes! This week! I was so happy!
	🏝 ♥ 8:54pm WR: Yes, I read the bandcamp feature this morning, nice capsule of the DFH career.
	🏝 ♥ 8:54pm Derek Westerholm: Dog Faced Hermans deserve to be known better than they are...
	8:55pm Tyler: Glad you introduced me to them. I would have been uncertain what to make of them otherwise, but they put out some adventurous, unusual music.
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Babs: Kat i'm so glad you were with us to catch this!! I love that DFH are finallly getting some due recognition!!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:55pm ultradamno: @Derek Agreed. God Is My Co-Pilot too

	8:57pm Mr Fab: Yeah that was great. That ever-versatile Bo Diddley beat.
	8:58pm MISZCZYK: That was my first dog faced Herman's experience! Amazing! So glad I tuned in!
	♥ 8:58pm DJ Babs: Can't go wrong with the Bo Diddley!!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:58pm Derek Westerholm: WR, yeah, it's an excellent overview. I have a book by John Robb (of the Membranes) called "Death To Trad Rock" that touches on some of the same stories as those in the BC feature. It's a great book that also features writings about The Ex, Nightingales, Bogshed, The Three Johns, The Wedding Present, Dawson, and many many more! Need to actually read it, mind you!
	♥ 8:59pm DJ Babs: Oh MISZCZYK, welcome to the Dog Faced Hermans fanclub! You must afterwards go find a song called "Jan 9" It's fucking EPIC. EPIC. EEEEEEPIC....
	8:59pm Tyler: That Bo Diddley beat is like rhythmic crack - highly addictive once you've played it.

	♥ 9:23pm Zipperhead7: This sounds really good! Can't tell you how many times people have played tracks and I had to think of something diplomatic to say. But this is terrific!
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks everyone! I don't anticipate playing our own stuff too often... Not the biggest fan of that, but then again, I realise that I like it when other people do it and share their lives...
	♥ 9:24pm DJ Babs: oh zipperhead thank you so very much!!! that means a lot!
	♥ 9:25pm DJ Babs: and thank you so much MISZCZYK and Zipperhead and Kat and everyone for the love. We very much appreciate it!
	9:26pm Tyler: Nuthin wrong with playing your own music.
	9:28pm Tyler: This song is WALL-TO-WALL CARPETING! :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:28pm Kat in Chicago: It's actually verboten on the mothership
	🏝 ♥ 9:29pm ultradamno: Well, Creamo skirts with it on his live mixes, but he doesn't play releases Maximum Ernst or Cyanide Tooth tapes
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm ultradamno: (the promoting a product part is probably what's to be avoided)
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm Kat in Chicago: you may be right, ultra.
	🏝 ♥ 9:31pm Kat in Chicago: Oh on Sheena's, people play their own music all the dang time. I can think of three DJs off the top of my head.
	🏝 ♥ 9:32pm ultradamno: Yeah...Kitten for sure
	🏝 ♥ 9:32pm ultradamno: Though there's no good reason to begrudge him a full Germs show
	🏝 ♥ 9:33pm Kat in Chicago: Did I hear a Solvent reference?
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm Kat in Chicago: I deed, I deed!
	9:35pm Tyler: I wonder if 'Koss' is named after the audio company?
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm ultradamno: Deny, I guess more then begrudge, I guess....you should only celebrate his Germs special, is my point
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm Kat in Chicago: Agreed
	♥ 9:38pm DJ Babs: Yes, we definitely are not into the self promotion aspect of it but WFMU DJs also do and create such wonderful things I am definitely interested in hearing them!
	9:38pm Tyler: This is some nice motorik!
	♥ 9:38pm DJ Babs: Kat if you love solvent you will definitely want to check this upcoming release it's GORGEOUS. The vinyl is pink and sounds AMAZING..
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm Derek Westerholm: Kat, yes, you heard a Solvent reference... He runs the "Suction" label, this label "Ice Machine" and also is a film maker. And of course, releases his own records as "Solvent."
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm Kat in Chicago: I will check it out for sure!
	9:40pm Tyler: It's always great if someone takes up the torch and plays your stuff, but you gotta do whatever it takes for people to become aware of it.
	🏝 ♥ 9:41pm Kat in Chicago: Derek, I own the four hour version of "I Dream Of Wires" :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:42pm Kat in Chicago: I got deep into Ghostly International at the beginning of the 2010s or whatever you want to call that decade, that's when I found Solvent
	♥ 9:42pm DJ Babs: That's full on synth nerdery right there!!!
	♥ 9:42pm DJ Babs: That ghostly comp with solvent on it CHANGED MY LYFE
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm Kat in Chicago: For someone who doesn't make music I am pretty damn close to a synth nerd
	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: oops we had an oops.
	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: fixed now!
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm ultradamno: Physical proximity can spook a synth nerd, so be careful
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm Kat in Chicago: I'm streaming from phone to Bluetooth speakers and I thought the stream stopped because I was getting another "Scam Likely" call, haha
	9:46pm Tyler: This quite a tight packet of pop-punk!
	🏝 ♥ 9:47pm Kat in Chicago: I just got the joke, ultra :)
	♥ 9:48pm DJ Babs: hahah it's true ultradamno! and yes that is a clever joke for sure LOL I am enjoying this current WAEVES tune too. Graham Coxon is so good at all he does...
	♥ 9:49pm DJ Babs: I had this version of this song stuck in my head for days and now you shall too LOL
	9:50pm Tyler: SPUD-worthy!
	🏝 ♥ 9:51pm Derek Westerholm: Jason Amm/Solvent & his projects are great! He's been working on a new movie about Morton Subotnick for some time now. cinepunx.com...

	♥ 9:53pm DJ Babs: I feel like this is my personal anthem lol
	9:55pm Tyler: This is nicely grindy! Weak Signal is a great name!
	♥ 9:57pm Zipperhead7: Wow almost 10! That was as quick a two hours as I can recall. Terrific show, folks!!!

Christiana	Hydrofield Of Myth "Hydrofield Of Myth" by "Christiana"	Hydrofield Of Myth	High School Champion	2001	When I saw the artwork Babs did for this week's show, this album/song immediately came to mind: Christiana Hydrofield of Myth -- Notes, originally published in Exclaim! magazine: By Chris Wodskou / Published Apr 01, 2001 --> "Re-christened Christiana after toiling the better part of a decade in the Toronto pop trenches, the guitar-pop troopers formerly known as Neck are back to shower anyone who'll listen with another clutch of shiny, spiky pop trinkets. They're still playing fast-tempo, shamelessly heartfelt pop, years after it was fashionable, if in fact it ever was fashionable, with a ringing guitar sound that I haven't heard nearly enough of since Unrest called it quits. But trends and fashion never seemed to have counted for much for the trio of Dave Rogers, Paul Boddum and Andrew McAllister, at least since their early days when their sound could have passed for a somewhat noisier take on swirly Britpop. But the main thing that strikes me about their current incarnation as Christiana is their purity of purpose. Nineteen songs that barely clock in at a cumulative half-hour - their pop is to be savoured and perhaps even lingered over, but they're not going to flog you with a good chord progression for more than a minute or two. Obviously, there's no flab on Hydrofield of Myth, but it's still a meaty helping. And even if you don't pay attention to the words, you feel at home with the sentiments of the songs, alluding as they do to about 35 years of both sunny and minor key pop and all its attendant emotions. A real labour of loveliness. (High School Champion)"			0:02:03 (Pop-up)
Black Midi	Eat Men Eat "Eat Men Eat" by "Black Midi"	Hellfire	Rough Trade	2022	This song premiered yesterday. It is the second single from the third Black Midi album. It has an incredible video. "Musically, “Eat Men Eat” is a fusion of Rock and Flamenco, the latter being the working title found on early setlists. The lyrics, written by Picton, tell the story of a couple’s quest to overcome a militaristic Mine Captain cursed with an acid tongue as well as their own uncomfortable internal grumblings. The recording also features more than 50 fan submitted recordings layered into the end of the piece as well as palmas and various other percussive elements provided by Demi García Sabat. Its accompanying video was directed by Maxim Kelly." They will be touring the world extensively starting this Sunday Jun 19. Black Midi Tourdates		*	0:04:06 (Pop-up)
Moreish Idols	Hangar "Hangar" by "Moreish Idols"	Hangar (Digital Single)	Speedy Wunderground	2022	Brand new this week, in advance of release debut EP 'Float' (Out Aug 12th), the London, UK group have signed to Speedy Underground, and they made their Speedy Underground debut a few months back with digital single 'Speedboat'. Dan Carey sat in on sessions for their full EP, which is set to land this summer. The band's own Jude Lilley comments... "The most exciting thing for us as a band is capturing our performances live, which something Speedy is renowned for. Everything you hear in the EP is us in the room working together as unit - apart from Dyl who recorded his take across the whole EP in one! There’s something really cool about listening back to the takes and realising ‘this is what the room sounded like 5 minutes ago… and that’s us making the noise’. To us "Float" is a collage, and a demonstration of the band putting everything in the mixer and seeing what comes out (lyrics included) and it’s exactly what Dan heard before getting us involved with the label." Though most of their web-presence & press claims they only just started releasing material in April; a Bandcamp page w/ the same band & lead singer name indicate they've actually been active since 2017, so maybe check it out before their past disappears in the new narrative...

Music behind DJ: Badge Époque Ensemble	Zodiac (Ft: James Baley)	Clouds of Joy	Telephone Explosion	2022	New song & video released this week in advance of a new 3rd album (Clouds Of Joy, out Sept 9) from this ever expanding Toronto outfit headed up by Max Turnbull In addition to Turnbull, the band includes guitarist Chris Bezant, saxophonist Karen Ng, flautist Alia O'Brien, bassist Giosuè Rosati, percussionist Ed Squires and drummer Jay Anderson, and performs both instrumental music and songs with guest vocalists such as Jennifer Castle, Dorothea Paas, James Baley and Meg Remy.

Pure Adult	The Power Of Incredible Violence Pt. III	The Power Of Incredible Violence Pt. III	FatCat Records	2022	Having grown up in the unusually sheltered environment of a church-turned-cult, Brooklyn based musician Jeremy Snyder has always found himself drawn to the harsh, dissonant music that was off limits during his formative years. Today, Pure Adult, the experimental punk band he formed in 2017 with contemporary dancer and visual artist Bianca Abarca, has released new single 'The Power of Incredible Violence Pt. III' via FatCat Records. The single, a visceral explosion of angst that calls to mind post-punk greats This Heat, addresses two questions; What does a hyper-violent oppressor perceive as violence against itself? What threatens the fundamental structure that upholds its violence?			0:18:17 (Pop-up)
Joe Unknown	Silent "Silent" by "Joe Unknown"	Silent	Darco Record	2022	‘Silent’ is a gushing, assault on the senses. Speaking of the track Joe says “I can’t really describe it, I feel like if u get it you get it, if you don’t that’s ok… you’re probably good in the company of silence” Musically Joe Unknown draws influences from the best of British; punk and hip-hop mixed with a spit of rhymes and on the nose lyrics that chronicle both sides to the day-to-day reality of life in Britain, through his eyes. There’s the relatable side everyone can connect to vs the honest side people don’t want to admit. His eclectic mix of influences and diverse sound sees him sit comfortably alongside his British peers such Kae Tempest and Idles as well as global artists like Tyler, The Creator and A$AP Rocky			0:23:07 (Pop-up)
Coins Parallèles	Un Trou Dans Le Tete	Demo	Contact Minimal	2022	Coins Parallèles is a solo project from Montreal and Yan Skene. His Demo is a 5-track cassette with excellent post-punk sung in French. It came out last week on Mangel in Germany, SYF Records (Poland), Urticaria Records (France), Tough Gum Records (USA), and Contact Minimal (Montreal). Un Trou Dans La Tete translates to "A Hole In The Head"...			0:25:38 (Pop-up)
Maraudeur	Face Figure "Face Figure" by "Maraudeur"	Puissance 4	Peroquebien	2021	These nine unique songs of „Puissance 4“ - the second album by Maraudeur of Leipzig, Germany - are completely Sci-Fi. They are opening up the view into various worlds inbetween seconds. Images I feel familiar with are transforming themselves to unexpected landscapes, driven by the strong integrity of bass, synth, and drums. If this would be a shuttle it would go back and forth on sonic streets guided by the vocals of the different songs, intersecting with crowded supermarkets, car traffic, wide beach and beaming portals to parallel universes.			0:28:13 (Pop-up)
Cumgirl18	Dumb Bitch "Dumb Bitch" by "Cumgirl18"	Dumb Bitch	Suicide Squeeze	2022	In a perfect world, we’d all be comfortable with our bodies. And we’d all be respectful of how other people choose to present and share their bodies with others. For a moment, it seemed the internet could help usher in this perfect world by providing a platform of interaction where physical appearances were a matter of our own invention. But of course, the assholes ruin everything. As soon as cumgirl8 began exploring the artistic possibilities of fusing the URL world with in-the-flesh performances, the assholes had to come in and ban them from social media platforms because of their name. Puritans, TERFS, and homophobes always find a way to impose their bullshit on the gender outlaws and sexual provocateurs of our times. Well, cumgirl8 has had enough of the archaic mores and narrow-minded values. On their latest single “dumb bitch,” the Brooklyn quartet take the punk attitude of The Slits and the scrappy after-hours throb of early electroclash and meld it into a dance-floor anthem of defiance and non-conformity. “Gender and sexual politics are the overarching point of the song,” says bassist Lida Fox, “but it also gets into how these dynamics play out in a society ruled by capitalism… how the roles we’re expected to play can become toxic and hypocritical to how we truly feel and so often we find ourselves stuck in patterns that hurt ourselves and those we love. It’s exploring the space between romance, masochism, pleasure, narcissism, and the balance of how much we give and take in our relationships.”			0:30:46 (Pop-up)

Honey Bane	Girl On The Run "Girl On The Run" by "Honey Bane"	You Can Be You	Crass Records / Bandcamp	1979 / 2002	"Honey Bane began her musical career at the age of 14 in 1978 when she formed the punk rock band the Fatal Microbes. The band released a split 12" record with anarcho-punk band Poison Girls the same year. The first single, "Violence Grows" garnered some press attention and was given positive reviews by the British music paper Sounds. After the 1979 breakup of the Fatal Microbes, and a stint in a juvenile detention facility that garnered more press attention, Bane began a collaboration with Crass, while she was on the run from the Social Services after serving a sentence at the St. Charles Youth Treatment Centre in Essex. Lending lead vocals and backed by the band under the name Donna and the Kebabs, Crass released the EP You Can Be You in 1979. It was the debut release on Crass' newly found label, Crass Records. The following year, Bane released her debut solo single, "Guilty", and sang vocals for Killing Joke on "What's the Matter" during a February 1980 gig at London's Venue club. The recording was later released on a bootleg album, Killing Joke - Live At The Venue LP." You Can Be You was re-released Mar 4, 2022.	*	0:47:32 (Pop-up)
Dog Faced Hermans	New Year "New Year" by "Dog Faced Hermans"	The Dignity Of Human Being Is Vulnerable	Bandcamp Self Release	1993/2022	Originally from the 1991 recording sessions for "Mental Blocks For All Ages", but only available prior as of 1993, until now, on a benefit compilation against the war in former Yugoslavia. In addition to this new DFH rarity upload to Bandcamp, they are also the subject of an excellent Bandcamp Feature this week. As always, I strongly urge curious listeners to investigate this band to the fullest, they are fantastic.

Folk Festival Massacre	I Saw It On TV	The Return Of The Folk Festival Massacre	Self-Released	2021	Having played Christiana (née Neck) earlier, it only seems fitting to play something new from Neck's original bassist Alistair McLeod, here joined by Minesh Mandoda in this incarnation of Folk Festival Massacre. This can be found on the Free Music Archive, if you so desire to find it: The Return of Folk Festival Massacre			0:56:14 (Pop-up)
The Fall	High Tension Line "High Tension Line" by "The Fall"	High Tension Line (Single / Expanded Shiftwork Album)	Cog Sinister	1991	Another song with Hydrofield artwork (and accompanying video!)

Music behind DJ: Nick Storring	Music from 'Wéi 成为' — II	Music from 'Wéi 成为'	Orange Milk Records	2022	(Out: August 19th, 2022) A preview of one of the tracks from Nick Storring's eighth album (and third release for Ohio's Orange Milk Records) takes the one-person-orchestra approach for which he is acclaimed and translates it to a single instrument: the piano. Recorded on everything from the innards of an old upright piano to a Disklavier (a computer-controlled acoustic piano) housed at Yamaha's Toronto offices, and using playing techniques that span conventional to idiosyncratic, Storring conjures a vast and vivid colour palette. Music from 'Wéi 成为' was composed for the choreography of his frequent collaborator, Yvonne Ng and began its life in a residency at the Banff Centre in December 2017. Just like the unique movement vocabulary found in Ng's quintet dance (Wéi 成为) Storring's copiously layered score moves fluidly between tender lyrical phrases and driving interlocking figures, and from thick textural swarms to supple transparency.		*	1:01:44 (Pop-up)
Pinch Points	Reasons To Be Anxious	Process	Exploding In Sound	2022	As the album title suggests, Process is a commentary on structural collapse; the systemic failures and baked-in inequalities that are ravaging ecosystems, the mental health system, the gig economy workforce and all aspects of our lives. The title Process also recognises the emotions processed and channelled in the songs, as a collective expression of empathy and shared grief. A true collaboration, finding consensus from the experiences of four individual humans, Melbourne, Australia's Pinch Points embody music-making as an act of friendship and community, upholding the band’s shared belief in the music scene as a real-life platform for connection, strength and solidarity.			1:12:05 (Pop-up)
Kat Haus	I Wanna Bite Ya "I Wanna Bite Ya" by "Kat Haus"	Manic	3523477 Records DK	2022	Kat Haus (She/Her) is an Airdrie, AB, Canada based Thrash Polka solo artist, hell bent on polluting the world with her hysterically-feverish-sounding filth. Kat's debut EP, Manic, was her first foray into writing, recording and producing although it cannot be chalked up to talent, but rather a hyperfixation disorder.			1:14:51 (Pop-up)
Psychic Weapons	All On Fire "All On Fire" by "Psychic Weapons"	All On Fire (Digital Single)	Self-Released (Bandcamp)	2020	Derek & Babs are in this band! This song has a brand new video directed by the super-talented Jesse Yules. There is a future album in the works, produced by Glenn Milchem (Blue Rodeo, Vital Sines.) We also play live first time in 2+ years at the Horseshoe Tavern this Wednesday, Jun 22. The show is for the re-launch of Jonny Dovercourt's essential book "Any Night of the Week: A D.I.Y. History of Toronto Music, 1957-2001." Also on the bill: avant-jazz legends GUH & DJ Don Pyle (Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet+ "Trouble In The Camera Club" author.) We won't play our own stuff very often, but we're excited all this & also wanted to share the video: Psychic Weapons - "All On Fire" (Video Dir. Jesse Yules)			1:17:48 (Pop-up)
Onyon	Dry Plants "Dry Plants" by "Onyon"	Onyon	Trouble In Mind	2022	Also haling from Leipzig, Onyon’s synth-soaked racket on their debut pits synth vs. guitar as they arc & dive-bomb around the rhythm section’s stuttering pace. Some used to call that “herky-jerky”, but this isn’t that intricate or precise. Onyon’s ragged magic lies in those imprecise recorded moments caused by excitement, fervor & feeling. Vocalists Ilka Kellner and Maria Untheim keep it cool, trading of lead duties in both English & German in a detached monotone most times while singing fantastical or mundane tales about shrunken heads, nature, cats & someone forgetting to water their plants. While the whole affair has whiffs of Kleenex, X-Ray Spex, DEVO, Chrisma and the like, Onyon’s debut also tips the hat to newer groups like the aforementioned Maraudeur, The Staches or The Cosmetics (but filtered thru a modern-day, urban-decay post-punk lens… that’s a thing, right?)			1:22:32 (Pop-up)
Pozi	Watching You Suffer "Watching You Suffer" by "Pozi"	PZ1	PRAH Recordings	2019	'PZ1' rattles along with nervous energy, frantic and frenetic, recalling the post-punk bands the trio bonded over, from PiL to Devo and Television. It’s refreshing to hear a punk band sans guitars. Brooks’ screeches and wails on an often-processed violin provide the perfect counterpoint to Burroughs’ own staccato delivery. Marc Riley of the BBC loves this band. So do we. All hail London's POZI! More punk without guitars, please!			1:24:50 (Pop-up)

Kübler-Ross	Koss "Koss" by "Kübler-Ross"	Kübler-Ross	Ice Machine	2020 / 2022	(Re-)Release date July 8, 2022. Kübler-Ross is a minimal synth/wave/industrial three-piece from Glasgow, Scotland, featuring Craig Clark, Katie Shannon, and veteran electronic producer and remixer producer Dave Clark, best-known for his Sparky moniker, and as one-half of the production/remix team Optimo (Espacio). First emerging in 2015 with a couple of compilation appearances, Kübler-Ross released their debut, self-titled album in 2020. Originally released as a limited-edition cassette on the Glasgow label Akashic Records, the album — now resequenced and released on vinyl via Suction Records’ minimal synth sublabel Ice Machine — is a collection of tracks recorded over a three year period in a variety of studios, rehearsal rooms, and gigs, documenting the musical variety and ferocity of their incendiary live performances. The Akashic tape, despite being low-key, under-the-radar, and released in limited quantity, managed to earn them a Long List nomination for SAY (Scottish Album of the Year) for 2020.

Al-Qasar, Lee Ranaldo	Awal "Awal" by "Al-Qasar, Lee Ranaldo"	Awal (Digital Single)	Glitterbeat Records	2022	Released June 8, 2022 in advance of a full length release Sep 16, 2022. "Middle Eastern psych-rock collective Al-Qasar’s debut album is an explosive mix of heavy Arabian grooves, global psychedelia and North African trance music. The band calls it “Arabian fuzz.” Brazenly electric and deeply connected. Guests include Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) and Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys)... “Al-Qasar was born in the Barbès neighbourhood of Paris,” explains band leader Thomas Attar Bellier. “I’ve lived in Los Angeles, Paris, New York, Lisbon… I wanted to start a project that was in tune with the daily life of people living in these international cities, something diverse, radically colourful, with a fresh, contemporary outlook on what societies really look like today”. The musicians came together, from France, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and the United States. Shows followed, first in France, then in Europe and the Middle East. They put out an EP, the widely-lauded Miraj, recorded in Cairo. In the same time frame, Attar Bellier collaborated with the likes of Emel Mathlouthi and Dina El Wedidi, two of the most exciting names in contemporary Arab music. Work on Who Are We? began in December 2020, with Attar Bellier composing eight tracks that writhe and roar in skilfully controlled chaos. Bass, drums and traditional percussion create a deep, irresistible groove for the foundation, while electric saz and guitars build a wailing wall above, with Moroccan vocalist Jaouad El Garouge’s ecstatic voice, steeped in his Gnawa upbringing, pulling inspiration from history as it strides into the future. Drawing on years of experience working in Los Angeles studios, Attar Bellier produced the album. Who Are We? translates the sound that inhabited his head into something physical that stirs spirit, heart and feet. It is relentless and insistent, like a psychedelic celebration on the dancefloor, bristling with the kind of deep energy..." https://glitterbeat.com/artists/al-qasar/		*	1:40:20 (Pop-up)
Neutrals	New Town Dream "New Town Dream" by "Neutrals"	Bus Stop Nights EP	Static Shock	2022	Just as there was in the late 80s and early 90s, there is still a small number of acts with an interminable sense of cool, who prefer to do things differently. Whether by considered choice, or simple natural proclivity, theirs is the musical path less travelled. Oakland, California’s, Neutrals appears to fall directly in between the above explanations, as they juxtapose all manner of indie-cool yesteryear, into a sound that they have made their own since the brilliance of the 2019, Kebab Disco, debut album. Starting with a core foundation of professional Scottish (indie-pop) courtesy of the Lanarkshire accent of Allan McNaughton (Giant Haystacks) and augmenting this sense of BMX Bandits demi-twee, with a caustic driven, jangly garage rock energy, their sound is the unreplicable mix of C86 ramshackle and The Undertones drive.			1:43:35 (Pop-up)
THE WAEVE	Something Pretty "Something Pretty" by "THE WAEVE"	Something Pretty Single	Transgressive Records	2022	The WAEVE came together after exchanging messages during the lockdown Christmas of 2020. They soon started writing songs before their collaboration “gave rise to an unexpected sonic universe”, per a statement. Inspired by “a shared love of English folk music, storytelling and the associated landscapes of this beleaguered island”, their music soon turned into something of their own, with “a cinematic breadth whilst maintaining an honest intimacy” and “guitars, saxophones AND strings lifting the songs into other stratospheres”. The WAEVE’s upcoming material is said to speak to “themes of oblivion and surrender, juxtaposed with suggestions of hopefulness and light”. The WAEVE are Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall.			1:45:12 (Pop-up)
NUTS	Children Of The DEVOlution "Children Of The DEVOlution" by "NUTS"	Living In A Vulgar Vision	Fettherz Records	2022	NUTS are from Cologne, Germany. They are classic Egg Punk. here comes the first full-length-album by nuts, my eggpunk alter ego. it's called "living in a vulgar vision" and i guess the title turned out to be quiet fitting & relatable. all the songs were written by me (jonathan hohmann). except c.o.t.r. of course, which was written by mr. bolan. i recorded all the songs on an old tascam 4-track (vintage!!!!!!). except follow the money which i recorded on an ipad. the song also features a guest appearance by shoshana zuboff. how cool is that?!?			1:48:13 (Pop-up)
Cluttered Grotto	Nasal Spray "Nasal Spray" by "Cluttered Grotto"	Nasal Spray/TV Screen	3893604 Records DK	2022	Concord, California. child prodigy. That's it.			1:50:23 (Pop-up)
Weak Signal	Poor People "Poor People" by "Weak Signal"	WAR & WAR	Colonel Records	2022	Weak Signal represent a constant on the N.Y.C. underground. The trio’s dark cinematic pop evokes late summer nights, apathy and urgency, buzz guitars over garbage trucks. The range of Bones’ guitar suggests he’s been lured by the sweet tone of Peter Green as well as the metallic attack of Paul Reynolds. The rhythm section of bassist Sasha and drummer Tran is the sound of summer thunder.			1:51:36 (Pop-up)

El Michels Affair & Piya Malik	Kabhi	Kabhi	Big Crown Records	2022	El Michels Affair invites Piya Malik back to the booth for “Kabhi," a one off single that captures the same magic they made on Yeti Season. EMA takes their signature sound and incorporates Turkish Funk & Bollywood elements that Piya finds herself at home with over her hauntingly beautiful vocals.			2:00:25 (Pop-up)
The Soundcarriers	All These Things	Wilds	Phosphonic	2022	Since forming in 2007 the band - comprised of Isherwood, Adam Cann, Dorian Conway and Leonore Wheatley - have released three albums that position them as a distinct and unique force in British music. Eschewing fads and trends that come and go, they have instead focused on honing their own sonic world that glides between woozy psychedelia, immersive grooves, subtle pop and rich, enveloping soundscapes.			2:02:58 (Pop-up)

	8:44pm Tyler: This reminds me of some Marshall McLuhan & Buckminster Fuller spoken word records I have - and the late-great Steven Jesse Bernstein.
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello MISZCZYK!!!

	🏝 ♥ 8:54pm Derek Westerholm: Dog Faced Hermans deserve to be known better than they are...
	8:55pm Tyler: Glad you introduced me to them. I would have been uncertain what to make of them otherwise, but they put out some adventurous, unusual music.
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Babs: Kat i'm so glad you were with us to catch this!! I love that DFH are finallly getting some due recognition!!!

	8:58pm MISZCZYK: That was my first dog faced Herman's experience! Amazing! So glad I tuned in!
	♥ 8:58pm DJ Babs: Can't go wrong with the Bo Diddley!!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:58pm Derek Westerholm: WR, yeah, it's an excellent overview. I have a book by John Robb (of the Membranes) called "Death To Trad Rock" that touches on some of the same stories as those in the BC feature. It's a great book that also features writings about The Ex, Nightingales, Bogshed, The Three Johns, The Wedding Present, Dawson, and many many more! Need to actually read it, mind you!
	♥ 8:59pm DJ Babs: Oh MISZCZYK, welcome to the Dog Faced Hermans fanclub! You must afterwards go find a song called "Jan 9" It's fucking EPIC. EPIC. EEEEEEPIC....
	8:59pm Tyler: That Bo Diddley beat is like rhythmic crack - highly addictive once you've played it.

	🏝 ♥ 9:04pm ultradamno: I mean, no way he's living in a shack down there and putting up with the metal detector guys
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm Kat in Chicago: LOL Zipperhead7! I quite like this Nick Storring.

	🏝 ♥ 9:22pm Kat in Chicago: You sound like a real band!
	♥ 9:23pm Zipperhead7: This sounds really good! Can't tell you how many times people have played tracks and I had to think of something diplomatic to say. But this is terrific!
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks everyone! I don't anticipate playing our own stuff too often... Not the biggest fan of that, but then again, I realise that I like it when other people do it and share their lives...
	♥ 9:24pm DJ Babs: oh zipperhead thank you so very much!!! that means a lot!
	♥ 9:25pm DJ Babs: and thank you so much MISZCZYK and Zipperhead and Kat and everyone for the love. We very much appreciate it!
	9:26pm Tyler: Nuthin wrong with playing your own music.
	9:28pm Tyler: This song is WALL-TO-WALL CARPETING! :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:28pm Kat in Chicago: It's actually verboten on the mothership
	🏝 ♥ 9:29pm ultradamno: Well, Creamo skirts with it on his live mixes, but he doesn't play releases Maximum Ernst or Cyanide Tooth tapes
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm ultradamno: (the promoting a product part is probably what's to be avoided)
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm Kat in Chicago: you may be right, ultra.
	🏝 ♥ 9:31pm Kat in Chicago: Oh on Sheena's, people play their own music all the dang time. I can think of three DJs off the top of my head.
	🏝 ♥ 9:32pm ultradamno: Yeah...Kitten for sure
	🏝 ♥ 9:32pm ultradamno: Though there's no good reason to begrudge him a full Germs show
	🏝 ♥ 9:33pm Kat in Chicago: Did I hear a Solvent reference?
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm Kat in Chicago: I deed, I deed!
	9:35pm Tyler: I wonder if 'Koss' is named after the audio company?
	🏝 ♥ 9:35pm ultradamno: Deny, I guess more then begrudge, I guess....you should only celebrate his Germs special, is my point
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm Kat in Chicago: Agreed
	♥ 9:38pm DJ Babs: Yes, we definitely are not into the self promotion aspect of it but WFMU DJs also do and create such wonderful things I am definitely interested in hearing them!
	9:38pm Tyler: This is some nice motorik!
	♥ 9:38pm DJ Babs: Kat if you love solvent you will definitely want to check this upcoming release it's GORGEOUS. The vinyl is pink and sounds AMAZING..
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm Derek Westerholm: Kat, yes, you heard a Solvent reference... He runs the "Suction" label, this label "Ice Machine" and also is a film maker. And of course, releases his own records as "Solvent."
	🏝 ♥ 9:39pm Kat in Chicago: I will check it out for sure!
	9:40pm Tyler: It's always great if someone takes up the torch and plays your stuff, but you gotta do whatever it takes for people to become aware of it.
	🏝 ♥ 9:41pm Kat in Chicago: Derek, I own the four hour version of "I Dream Of Wires" :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:42pm Kat in Chicago: I got deep into Ghostly International at the beginning of the 2010s or whatever you want to call that decade, that's when I found Solvent
	♥ 9:42pm DJ Babs: That's full on synth nerdery right there!!!
	♥ 9:42pm DJ Babs: That ghostly comp with solvent on it CHANGED MY LYFE
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm Kat in Chicago: For someone who doesn't make music I am pretty damn close to a synth nerd
	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: oops we had an oops.
	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: fixed now!
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm ultradamno: Physical proximity can spook a synth nerd, so be careful
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm Kat in Chicago: I'm streaming from phone to Bluetooth speakers and I thought the stream stopped because I was getting another "Scam Likely" call, haha
	9:46pm Tyler: This quite a tight packet of pop-punk!
