WFMU: Brian Turner: Playlist from December 1, 2009

Brian Turner: Playlist from December 1, 2009

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Airway	Live in the WFMU Studios "Live in the WFMU Studios" by "Airway"	Engineered by Mark Triant	Formed in the early 1970's, the Los Angeles Free Music Society was a collective of experimental artists and musicians that produced a gushing river of output (well-documented in Cortical Foundation's 10CD box set in the late 90's) with severe dedication to anything-goes sound invention. Groups like the Doo-Dooettes, Le Forte Four, Solid Eye, Extended Organ, Smegma and others delved into free jazz utilizing homebuilt instruments, junkyard noise and bizarre live antics that melded with the L.A. punk explosion (and in many cases excelled its extremities). In the 1980's the LAFMS scene directly fed the fledgeling noise scene of Japan, with one group in particular, Airway, providing direct inspiration for the Hanatarash and Hijokaidan. On today's show, Brian welcomes Airway to the studio for a live set and overview of the history of the LAFMS, with key players Tom Recchion, Dennis Duck, Rick Potts, Joe Potts, Fredrik Nilsen and vocalist Vetza Trussell in house! Airway also played at the Mike Kelley-curated noisefest for Performa at the Gramercy on November 21st! More info: www.lafms.com. Thanks to everyone for coming out to the station, and special thanx to Danny Gromfin and Mark Triant for the assist.		1:18:14 (Pop-up)
