this rules, hi bryce

Fri. 8/7/09 12:16pm From: bryce

hey you!

Fri. 8/7/09 12:16pm From: Hugo

Anxiously anticpipating the aural audacities of the Brycean selections for today ...

Fri. 8/7/09 12:18pm From: BSI

Bring on the aural atrocities!

Fri. 8/7/09 12:19pm From: north guinea hills

i stopped listening to the recording of my dj set (free103point9.org) just to tune into bryce.

Fri. 8/7/09 12:22pm From: Cecile

Bryce!

Milton Cardonas, por favor?

Fri. 8/7/09 12:23pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

It's well worth it, NGH. My coworker just said "uh, oh, another Tarzan movie".

Fri. 8/7/09 12:24pm From: Hugo

There shall be aural abominations!

Fri. 8/7/09 12:24pm From: bryce

hahaa :)

Fri. 8/7/09 12:28pm From: BSI

bring on the aural abdominal nations!

Fri. 8/7/09 12:29pm From: north guinea hills

by the third day at my current job, my boss gave an exception to the "no headphones" policy due to the sounds emanating from my speakers....
lol, "another tarzan movie"

Fri. 8/7/09 12:30pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

bring on the aural ab crunches. I need a six pack.

NGH, you're lucky he didn't just take away your music listening priveleges.

Fri. 8/7/09 12:36pm From: Jed

May I plant more vegetables in the back of your skull?

Fri. 8/7/09 12:36pm From: Hugo

Listening to this high-powered percussion, it reminded me of something I listened to earlier today.

Brief review here:

http://www.citypages.com/2000-04-12/music/sun-ra-and-his-solar-myth-arkestra-life-is-splendid/

It's off the 1972 Ann Arbor festival. Fantastic stuff!

Fri. 8/7/09 12:39pm From: bryce

hang on jed, trephine's in my locker.

oh yeah, hugo! god, do we have that here??....

Fri. 8/7/09 12:39pm From: Cecile

YAY!
I have this record. It is the greatest. Der, I put in an extra S.

Fri. 8/7/09 12:40pm From: Hugo

By the way, the eleventh album from Megadeth has the title "United Abominations". Thought I'd let you know ...

Fri. 8/7/09 12:42pm From: Cecile

Hugo, I write for them. Well not as much as I used to This is from the days when we actually had space to write about non-local music. It's funny to see a young Matos being confronted with Sun Ra. It can be an overwhelming experience, your first time with Mr. Ree, Mr. Ra.

Fri. 8/7/09 12:44pm From: Cecile

UGH.
That's Dave's super right wing nutso disc. He even blames the PTA for stuff. Get out the tinfoil hat while you wait for the black helicopters

Fri. 8/7/09 12:47pm From: Jed

great show

Fri. 8/7/09 12:47pm From: ?

Bryce: got a record by Mongo called 'Yambu'?

Fri. 8/7/09 12:50pm From: J-Mar

hey Cecile,
I used to work for the VVM-owned paper in Nashville. I was a casualty of the whole New Times-VVM merger, though when I look at Nashville paper now I think it's probably a good thing they pushed me out the door.

Fri. 8/7/09 12:52pm From: Cecile

Yeah. I've been freelancing, and I think with the current regime, that's the place to be at. they just don't have much room for what I want to write.

I hope you were able to find something better, J-Mar.

Fri. 8/7/09 12:57pm From: Hugo

I had a look at this short piece. You're probably more acquainted with the whole scene than I am, despite the fact than I'm probably in the middle of it (geographically speaking)

http://www.citypages.com/2009-01-21/calendar/cradle-of-filth-satyricon/

Fri. 8/7/09 12:59pm From: J-Mar

Well, after I got laid off at the Nashville Scene, I did the most ridiculous, counterintuitive thing a journalist could do: I went to work for the Gannett-owned daily (hey, it was a job). Lasted there for two years just barely keeping my sanity before moving into the nonprofit sector, where the power structure tends to be less populated by assholes (thought not guaranteed to be asshole-free, of course).
Anyway, your comments about the content in City Pages sound not surprisingly very similar to what's happened here in Nashville. It's sad to see it happening everywhere, and I feel bad for my pals still stuck in their dreary, overworked jobs at the paper.

Fri. 8/7/09 1:03pm From: mmmmria

Bryce! this is demented.

Fri. 8/7/09 1:03pm From: Cecile

That sounds like you landed OK. Non-profits at least have good intentions, if not always pure execution.

Yes, can you imagine? They pay the same for investigative journalism per word as they do for calendar items? It's crazy!

Fri. 8/7/09 1:04pm From: Rampler

good afternoon

Fri. 8/7/09 1:05pm From: bryce

mrreeeeeeeeeeeeeorz!

hola ramps

Fri. 8/7/09 1:11pm From: Ike

Hey folks. Another Burmese festival happens Aug. 15 in Queens:
http://www.emallbay.com/funfair2009
The food at this one is really good!

Fri. 8/7/09 1:11pm From: north guinea hills

thanks ike, i'll be sure to check it out!

Fri. 8/7/09 1:12pm From: dc pat

my experience in the nonprofit sector is that the people are MUCH more competent and intelligent but no less power/bullshit hungry. Since I've been here, we've had multiple re-orgs and shake ups and it only seems to ever happen because some one gets bored...

Fri. 8/7/09 1:14pm From: Hugo

I guess you have to read a Minnesota paper to find a piece on a subject like this:

http://blogs.citypages.com/food/2008/12/_ms_hutton_welc.php

My wife adores it; me and the kid can easily manage without, thank you.

Fri. 8/7/09 1:18pm From: bryce

hugo......i like sürstromming...........

Fri. 8/7/09 1:18pm From: Cecile

It's pretty awful. I'm told that MN eats more lutefisk than Scandinavia these days.

I steer clear of it. People who eat it say "well it's an excuse to eat lots of butter." No, mashed potatoes and bread are an excuse to eat lots of butter...

Fri. 8/7/09 1:20pm From: Ike

And Bryce continues to bring some of the funniest mic breaks on Earth.

Lutefisk? Hmmm. Sounds bland. I'll probably stick to searching for Burmese tea leaf salad and other spicy treats.

Fri. 8/7/09 1:23pm From: jk

hey, this is a great huayno, what label is this on?

Fri. 8/7/09 1:25pm From: dc pat

bryce is easily the most hilarious dj on fmu.

Also this show is totally killing. I couldn't ask for anything better.

Fri. 8/7/09 1:26pm From: Hugo

Whatever you can say about surströmming, it's certainly not bland ... ahem ... bryce, you have my full admiration ...

For those who don't know:

Fri. 8/7/09 1:27pm From: Clay Pigeon

Bryce is tremendous and we love him.

Fri. 8/7/09 1:29pm From: Rampler

Hi Clay!!

Fri. 8/7/09 1:31pm From: dc pat

man, you guys are really turning me off visiting the home of the vikings..right now Peru is winning for me..

Fri. 8/7/09 1:31pm From: jk

thanks for the info! great show! again

Fri. 8/7/09 1:34pm From: bryce

hey, cp!!! :)

oh no prob, jk! sorry i'm so remiss about the info....usually running around like an idiot with no idea...

Fri. 8/7/09 1:40pm From: Ike

Hmm, surströmming sounds more interesting than lutefisk. Maybe it's the fish version of durian? Heh.

Fri. 8/7/09 1:43pm From: Chris

Guess I won't be having either at my desk.

Fri. 8/7/09 1:45pm From: dc pat

has anyone tried to play a pan pipe? You get winded and dizzy real quick. Imagine playing one of those more bass-oriented ones...

Fri. 8/7/09 1:45pm From: Jed

I smoke Tony Robbins' toenails when I want to get high

Fri. 8/7/09 1:47pm From: dc pat

I think one of those guys just passed out. THis is amazing!

Fri. 8/7/09 2:04pm From: jk

do you have those clapping bamboos from indonesia? I think on smithsonian collection vol.1?

Fri. 8/7/09 2:06pm From: bryce

like angklungs maybe?

Fri. 8/7/09 2:09pm From: C&C

You say it's Big Bambu?

Fri. 8/7/09 2:10pm From: bryce

yes AND yes.

Fri. 8/7/09 2:18pm From: jk

I didn't think it was the angklung, but looking back now it might be. I thought it was handclap activated, but could be wrong. turns out the track I'm thinking of is on the sf sampler, it's called Kalimantan.

Fri. 8/7/09 2:20pm From: Marshall Stacks

Hmm... is Kalimantan the name of the track, or where it was recorded?
(Kalimantan is Indonesian Borneo.)

Fri. 8/7/09 2:40pm From: jk

probably both, I don't have the cd infront of me so am going by the amazon tracklistings, which can be wrong sometimes. track 12: http://tinyurl.com/lh8gno

Fri. 8/7/09 2:44pm From: bryce

ohhh! i know what you're talking about now! that stuff's on Music of Indonesia vol. 17. pilip yampolsky, waaay in gringo-unexplored kalimantan, by the upper jelai river, happened across this kind of music: senggayung. the people around there mostly don't have names for their ethnic groups so are known by the river they hang out near. anyway, this kind of music is played only once every 3 or 4 years, when a bunch of kinds of fruit all ripen at the same time. it's for 7 pairs of bamboo tubes, each pair played by one person.

it's incredible stuff for a lot of reasons, one of the weirdest being that the repetoire's all in shifting odd time signatures — really inexplicable for indonesia.

Fri. 8/7/09 2:46pm From: Paul

This show is full of win! My ears are washed clean. Thank you!

Fri. 8/7/09 2:48pm From: jk

ah hah, though you'd know it. nice spontaneous background information, way to fill in the gaps.

Fri. 8/7/09 2:51pm From: annie

planting herbs.. just got back in... and at the right time to catch some good tunes about half an hour ago.

Fri. 8/7/09 3:03pm From: Marshall Stacks

Bryce with the 411. Thanks.

Fri. 8/7/09 3:08pm From: bryce

hooray for liner notes!

bye all
