Favoriting Brian Turner: Playlist from December 21, 2010 Favoriting

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.

With new releases out on Richie and Woodsist Records, Purling Hiss becomes a full-fledged touring unit and arrive in the WFMU studios with the road behind them to invoke Les Rallizes Denudes, Vermonster, and Alice Cooper at sickness-inducing volume on Brian's show.

Listener comments!

  3:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hello everyone! I am so PSYCHED to go Purling!!! <HISSSSsssssssss>
  3:05pm
Bill:

Pregnant Neck sounded like a punk baby Magic Band
  3:05pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

this version is kind of funny
  3:05pm
andy t:

Psyched for Hurling Piss here in merry old England!!!
  3:07pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

the Sabballad
  3:07pm
Cecile:

Sabbath sounds like the Move here.
Not surprising, they were both from Birmingham
  3:08pm
Bill:

Anybody know anything about this Rebel business?
  3:09pm
Adam:

Ha, I thought it was Richard Thompson!
  3:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

All right andy t!! I've been looking forward to this myself!
Cool new Breathilizor as well.
  3:13pm
dw:

Awesome, Breathilizor! Sockeye drool!
  3:13pm
dc:

breathilizor !!!!!!! Is this a christmas show?
  3:21pm
nate the k:

The Kraus action is amazing.
  3:22pm
nate the k:

wait, I think this is now Rev. Johnny Jones. Both were good. I can't keep up BT!
  3:23pm
andy t:

I also get drunk for the Lord. Sort of. This is surely a Xmas show.
  3:35pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

kind of sounds like the Frogs
  3:39pm
Carmichael:

Whoa - never heard the Boss version.
  3:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

Bruce's version (live at least) has been available since his 75-85 box set. I think his version of "Fire" also appears there. (He had written it for Elvis, who soon thereafter kicked the bucket).
  3:41pm
jones:

feels a bit insipid
  3:42pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

that song never struck me as anything to get too excited about anyway
  3:44pm
Carmichael:

I like it. I think it's pretty inspired. He's got good lyrics.
  3:46pm
Adam:

HOT DOG!
  3:46pm
Bad Ronald:

I read somewhere that "Hungry Heart" was initially written for the Ramones but Bruce's management didn't want to give it up.
  3:48pm
Mike East:

Bad Ronald, I heard that too. I've tried to invent what it would sound like if the Ramones did it in my head, but I can't quite get there.
  3:51pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks for that tidbit, Bad Ronald.
  3:51pm
Bad Ronald:

ha ha me too! The tempo would've been a tad faster I would imagine.
  3:52pm
nate the k:

I imagine it sounding similar to "I Want You Around," at least more so than "Warthog"
  3:53pm
Bad Ronald:

My pleasure Matt from Springfield.

Sounds about right Nate. It's definitely more of a Joey tune than a Dee Dee tune!
  3:56pm
dc pat:

man it's not easy finding anything out about the Gibson Bros. There are like 50 groups called "Gibson Brothers" and they all suck compared to the REAL ones.
  4:04pm
Adam:

from CDR: The legendary Gibson Bros. need no introduction. "Country" Jeff Evans, Don Howland, Ellen Hoover, and Dan Dow put the flag on top of the whole "twisted versions of obscure country and blues songs" hill. What we have in this Build A Raft 2xLP is a re-issue of the earliest of the Gibson Bros recordings. It's made up 2 LP's. The first LP is a meticulous master for vinyl that follows the original Old Age/No Age cassette format. It consists of a studio side that was recorded many long years ago in the village of Harrisburg by Mike Rep and Tommy Jay, and a live side that features material recorded in '85 at Bernie's as well as excerpts from a grade school Rock'n Roll assembly at Avondale Elementary. The second LP is made up of 6 bonus songs from the Harrisburg sessions, three of which were released on their rare first 7" on the band's own OKra records, the other ones were unreleased until now.
  4:06pm
lokimotive:

Man, I ordered that Social Music Record Club subscription on Tape at the beginning of December and haven't heard anything about it. I emailed both the address on the website and the one I paypaled the money to, several times with no response.

Well it's nice to know that someone got it... or perhaps it's more frustrating, I'm not sure.
  4:07pm
ye olde nagger:

always good to the preggie necks
  4:09pm
Matt from Springfield:

According to Wiki, Robert Gordon and Link Wray were the first to release "Fire", then the Pointer Sisters, and Bruce's live act, not released until '86. And they said the comic was Robin Williams as Elmer Fudd.
  4:11pm
BT:

Killer Adam --- thx for posting that. The Gibsons just played a show last year too I hear!
  4:12pm
Matt from Springfield:

Aias is a great band, I'm glad 'FMU's been playing them.
  4:15pm
trouble:

Loki- this stuff just came today.....maybe it just hit?
  4:17pm
glenn:

there is only ONE elmer fudd - my man jim backus.
  4:18pm
lokimotive:

Maybe, did you guys order it earlier in the year? I've been assuming he's been overloaded or on vacation or something, and hasn't been able to get back to me. Oh well, I've got that Stunned Records box to tide me over for awhile.
  4:18pm
glenn:

ooops i'm a moron. i'm thinking of mister magoo.(hangs head in abject shame)
  4:20pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I think Magoo was Fudd's older brother anyway
  4:21pm
still b/p:

Mel Blanc just spun in his grave and said, "It's wotten to be wobbed of cwedit..makes me cwy."
  4:21pm
Adam:

They are still playing concerts?? I still can't believe those Gibson Bros tunes from the grade school concert. As a fifth grader, I imagine that Mississippi Bo Weevil cover would have caused indelible damage upon my highly impressionable mind!
  4:21pm
Elmer:

Shhh, be vewy vewy qwiet....
  4:21pm
glenn:

i sowwy mel.
  4:22pm
BSI:

Hell's monkeys, i haven't heard this C&C track in a bucket of ages. What?
  4:24pm
glenn:

on the plus side, cecile's no longer the oldest person on the comments board.
  4:30pm
still b/p:

There's a fair number past birthday L in 'ere.
  4:31pm
IanStuart:

The Spider?? More like Pizza the Hut!
  4:31pm
Bad Ronald:

The Warning is channeling the Ox here.
  4:33pm
ben drinken:

what is birthday L like roman numeral L?
  4:34pm
glenn:

that'd be the big 50, danno.
  4:34pm
ben drinken:

if so then i am just under IL
  4:36pm
Bill:

Stage Fela is good! I saw it last year. It's all live, even the lip-synched sax.
  4:37pm
lokimotive:

Oh, I thought L was 21 in trigesimal. I'm T.
  4:38pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

so ben, you're in Kentucky?
  4:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: I respect your joke as a geographer.
  4:40pm
glenn:

cartographer.
  4:41pm
Matt from Springfield:

@glenn: Are you a cartographer yourself? We could engage in a secret language within these playlists!
  4:41pm
lokimotive:

So Matt from Springfield, you're in the upper South West of 49?
  4:41pm
Shit:

Aren't you allowed to say shit on the radio?
  4:43pm
BT:

nay.
  4:45pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

not outside of SAFE HARBOR!!!
  4:45pm
glenn:

well, i do love maps, it's true, but no. i am a mere humble carpenter, slaving away.
  4:45pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

but we can say shit in the playlist comments ANYTIME!!!!
  4:46pm
Matt from Springfield:

@loki: I'm in the upper North East of VA, though I can't find a trigesimal for "V".
  4:47pm
shave & shower:

we were asked to leave the band. creative differences.
  4:47pm
Matt from Springfield:

@loki: Roman numerals, numeric alphabet, simple substitution, but not familiar w/ the trigesimal system.
  4:47pm
Ike:

I believe there is some argument as to whether or not it's allowed w/in safe harbor either. Many rumors say you can say, but nothing set in stone. FCC makes court decisions one way and then reverses them or contradicts itself. Never lists what you can and can't say and when. No real safe time from what I understand (???).
  4:48pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

math people are weird
  4:49pm
Little Kids:

It would hurt my widdle piddy ears to hear the s word on the radio. But I can readit right here on ye olde interwebs. Till the feds and other nanny types screw that up, too.
  4:49pm
shave & shower:

besides, we're happier hanging out with peaches
  4:49pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

oh Ike, you should hear what happens on my college station after 11pm...
  4:50pm
Oh c'mon:

This could've ended a long time ago. Tighten it up, people!
  4:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Ike: Before Justin & Janet I kept a running tally of various exceptions to the FCC forbidden words, now pretty much, yeah, there's no certain safe ground to walk on, except that you might be forgiven, but you probably won't be.
  4:50pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I DVR'd a movie called Black Christmas the other day that played on TMC at 3am...you should have heard the nasty words in that one!
  4:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: Yeah, the comments board is FREE!
Shits yeah, mutha shitters!!!
  4:51pm
Shit:

I can understand not cursing on the radio, but when it's the name of a band or a song it should be fine. Having to call them Shite and Shine is terrible. Sorry you had to do that, Brian.
  4:51pm
steve earle:

F the CC
  4:51pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

hey, I'm paying $5 a day to post comments here!
  4:51pm
Redd Foxx:

I say "shit" and "fuck" for one reason: people do.
If you ain't never fuck.....Shit.
If you ain't never shit....FUUCK!!
  4:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: What station is that? I know PBS once allowed curse words after midnight, but not any more.
  4:53pm
Tantric Simon:

Hetfield comes alive!
  4:53pm
glenn:

how about holy fuck? or fucked up?
  4:53pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

the radio station I was talking about is WCSB 89.3 Cleveland (wcsb.org/listen). That movie was on TMC of all places.
  4:53pm
BT:

Well, safe harbor you can play songs with "shit" if it's not in the literal way. But DJs aren't really allowed to say it on mic.
  4:54pm
Ike:

@DCE, TCM is cable, not under FCC jurisdiction. Only airwaves. TCM could play porn if really wanted to, if they thought the subscribers and cable systems wouldn't object. As for college radio, many make assumptions but all the FCC says is "indecent" is OK but not "obscene" 10p-6a but they refuse to define specifically.
  4:54pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I was coming home from a show on Saturday and WCSB has a call-in rap show--them folks was letting loose, I tell ya
  4:55pm
Matt from Springfield:

Comedy Central played "Secret Stash" movies Fri and Sat nights 1 a.m., sometimes with a 2:30 - 4 rerun. They still can, but not sure if they have in the last couple years.
  4:56pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I bought this band's disc back in the 90s because it looked psychedelic. It's pretty cool raw shit.
  4:56pm
Cobra Dan:

Don't go to Geno's he is a racist prick. I would suggest Nick's Roast Beef.
  4:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Ike: I don't see a mention on the Wiki page, but I was taught that Red Lion v. FCC mandated some FCC control over Cable TV systems. They don't own the spectrum but can still regulate certain aspects of programming.
  4:57pm
Cobra Dan:

Went to a funeral this morning. Could you play Valley of Fire by Jackie-o Motherfucker.
  4:58pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Jackie O M'f'er, ahem!
  4:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wow, discussion of broadcast rules and their censoring impact has really lit up the comment board at this freeform radio station. Who've thunk it?
  4:58pm
still b/p:

It's a damned annoyance when cable channels such as Ovation and the Documentary Channel censor the bejeesus out of material...when artistic themes and frank explorations and less bland choices would seem to be part of their ostensible mission to begin with.
  5:00pm
ringo:

where's the christmas spirit here? keep your inappropriate language off these comments... you're harshing my enjoyment of bt's yuley vibe.
  5:00pm
Reality Check:

@Matt -- You have to invite cable in and pay for it. That makes it much harder for government control freaks to rationalize legally their desire to control us all. Let's not give the anti-freedom people more room to take away what fredom we have.
  5:00pm
ben drinken:

I lived in Kentucky for awhile. Just under IL.
  5:01pm
Ike:

@Matt, really? What the fuck does "certain aspects" mean exactly, I wonder? They haven't exercised that right so far, to my knowledge, but you are clearly more educated than me. @S B/P, often they are just playing old shit that was already censored for TV in olden times like the 1990s, or they are assuming their advertisers wouldn't like it....
  5:03pm
Rodney:

I think the Stations track is a summation of the issue being discussed in the comments.
  5:06pm
Matt from Springfield:

Red Lion v. FCC was back in '69, based on a dispute in a small PA town. In civics it was explained that all communications can be regulated even if not owned by the Feds (Communications Act 1934) just as food and drugs can be even if not owned by the Feds (Pure Food and Drug Act). It really isn't easy to have unlimited expression unless you pay for a channel specifically like HBO (and would thus have a separate commercial contract).

Moral: Uptight Americans are ruining things for everyone else and make us learn about the law like this.
  5:06pm
still b/p:

I bitched a couple of years ago, and Doc Channel said they were working to change their defined status somehow to have a freer hand with material..or less cautious censoring hand; trying to be outside the regular and confined cable herd and more like IFC.
  5:07pm
AmerikaFirst:

PURL IT!
  5:08pm
Matt from Springfield:

I'm a cartographer, not a lawyer. I can attempt to articulate the shit like this in a rational "how does the world work" sense but rest assured, I don't enjoy BS any more than you folks.
  5:08pm
Kat:

Saw Purling Hiss & Kurt Vile together in Chicago. SO GOOD.
  5:08pm

Purling Hiss - here we go!

  5:46pm
andy t:

Well that was boss! Guitar hero! I don't want to start an intense discussion but we can't even say 'shite' on radio over here :(
  5:48pm
Shit:

Free Jafar Panahi!
  5:49pm
BT:

Thx Carolyn, you as well!
  5:49pm
Marmalade Kitty:

Beware of stations that don't say Shite..!
If they can't say it, you know it probably is..
  5:50pm

Super show today!
