It's times like these I wish I paid attention during fish silhouette class in school..

Hey now, Kurt. Nice gif, Jeff. Reminds me a high school band I was in, Neon Trout.

Sure, Minnesota Jeff animated GIFs are always incredibly creative, but we outspend him 10,000-fold! What kind of brand image is strobing blue fish? That violates every known marketing principle.

Pre-Trout Dream Music?

Carmichael:

I believe the fish radiance thing is Jeff's statement on the decline of socio-cultural communication in 21st century America. That is what I believe.
  3:26pm
kat330:

The Dot Matrix is a Neo-logism.
  3:29pm
hamburger:

I believe the above trout is jumping free, showing his bold post-pubescent trout phase feelings with his exuberant gesture of leaping beyond the grid, whilst the elder bummer trout is exuding pessimistic self-determinism via his downward linearity

Surreal tempo

it is not a trout. it's a flounder in a trout mask. it's not actually a mask. it's a replica of a mask.

So it's a masked mask

erd, not a remix just another recording of it, from their second record.

Mmmm, dugong ....

Seriously, don't have a sea cow, man(atee)!
  3:48pm
glenn:

well, it's marinating now, and it'll go on the WEBER KETTLE (plug plug) @7:00 or so. it'll be moist enough to protect from burning, and anyway, i don't mind a bit of char.
  3:49pm
kat330:

I'll have to give that a try. Yogurt + spices for your marinade?
  3:51pm
das:

Thanks KG, I'm gonna have this stuck in my head all weekend.
  3:52pm
glenn:

patak's tandoori. plus a secret ingredient, for your eyes only, kat. everybody else look away. here it is - maple syrup.
  3:53pm
kat330:

Kurt, do you know Candle Hour?
  3:53pm
kat330:

Maple syrup, eh? Sweeeet!
  3:54pm

dang, i wish I knew what glenn's secret ingredient was.

Thanks for the Bjork, DJ KG.

I hold my lunch in very high regard. It knows its place, though.

the 'man' ain't keeping me down.

Boy, I recognized Bjork on the 1st syllable of the 1st note. She's an odd duck, that one.
  3:58pm
kat330:

I guess the playlist is tilting toward something aquatic tonight.
  3:58pm

Steve Hillage - he used to be in the duo Gong, well they were a full band really
  3:59pm
Parq:

Carm, I was similarly thinking what an incredibly distinct voice she has. I can't say I always get her, but anyone who can reduce even Stephen Colbert to fawning must have it going on.
  4:00pm
kat330:

Caine?
  4:01pm
Carmichael:

Natty Bumppo?
  4:02pm
kat330:

"keep on goin'" sounded like a loop of Michael Caine's voice to me.
  4:03pm
kat330:

@jmr3: I really enjoy "Oily Way" but don't know much else (it was on a mix tape made for me).
  4:03pm

a coworker just said that Mats Gustafsson sounded like his wife singing in the shower.

DJKG:

i'm not a huge bjork fan. i respect her, but vespertine is the only record i think is really great - although i probably haven't heard them all. but i saw her once in the audience at tonic (for a zeena parkins show) and she was absolutely radiant. not cute or sexy or whatever, but she radiated, she filled and warmed the room. an enormous presence, that one has.
  4:12pm

  4:12pm

@DJKG - Bette Midler has a similar presence.
  4:13pm

That kind of light comes from within, a good soul. I really enjoyed her in "Dancer in the Dark."

meast, interesting. i can see that.
  4:24pm

@sb/p: Yeah, but until you walk in her mocs. Seems to me something especially ugly was said, not just the intrusion on privacy. Maybe she was just having a "glamorous" period.
  4:25pm

[that last in "" will only be understood if you know of Duane's playlist from March 7th.]

@kat330 - my favorite Hillage is in fact, Fish Rising, with the Fish Song, and the Salmon Song, and You by Gong,
  4:28pm
jmr3:

I drove my too young to drive sister to see the Sugarcubes, didn't know anything about them, a real low budget afair - Bjork blew me away
  4:28pm
kat330:

@jmr3: I'll check them out. I suppose "Oily Way" could fall into an aquatic theme -- for BP....
  4:31pm
kat330:

This piece makes me think of fireflies.
  4:34pm
still b/p:

I ain't a'judgin'. I'm surprised more celebs don't flip more often, given the hyena clusters they have to navigate. I remember the discussion and the playlist entry, which reminded of this spinnicism:
  4:34pm

@kat330 - if you like the Gong and and care for Acid Mothers Temple, Iao Chant From the Cosmic Inferno is their take on the "Glorious Ohm Riff" from You. minus the silly Gong singing
  4:34pm
Parq:

This Reich piece reminds me, my kid's school is putting up what sounds like a really cool concert by its resident percussion ensemble this coming Wednesday, featuring Reich, Cage, Joan Tower and more. I can't go, coz it's out of town in the middle of the week,but if you're in the area (lookin' at you, WMFU listners), you might want to look into it.

Friend of mine intends to do a scary film without standard gore, etc. Wants to know what's reallly scary.
  4:56pm
Carmichael:

But the fish don't seem to care ....
  4:59pm
kat330:

I don't find gore scary. Can't be scared if your face is turned away, and that's all gore does for me. Timing is a big part, building suspense.
  5:02pm
still b/p:

Some of the truly scary things would be too close to disturbing realities...what some people have been through. But appropriating those experiences or even cueing a recall of the real versions for the sake of a charged movie scare....wouldn't be of interest to me.
  5:03pm
kat330:

Or, hey, s b/p, you getting pointers to make a Friday the 13th audio for Kurt? :)

No wonder Greif is going to step outside and keep walking. It's okay, because it's no ordinary storm going on.

Mark T in VT:

Someone I know as a coworker said she was in "Feeding the Masses" a 2004 gore zombie media scare movie from what I can tell from IMDB. I need to get it from Netflix. She said she was in it for about 30 seconds in a death scene.
  5:07pm
kat330:

Speaking of soundtracks supposed to aid the action, but not doing so: Anyone watching broadcast tv, have you noticed the obnoxious overuse of background music on shows of late? It shows such a lack of faith in the dialogue, the plot and, especially, the acting talent. I'd prefer putting on CC with some shows.

For the hour-long drama, it's a crutch the equivalent of a laugh track on a sitcom.
  5:14pm

I have been watching pub d hub on the Roku. But with no sound. Listen to WFMU and have an old sci fi horror movie on. Most of the time the sounds from WFMU seems to fit.
  5:14pm

the use of crappy, dramatic music telling you how to feel and the only using blue hues for a color scheme...SCREW hollywood and Burbank!!!!!!!
  5:15pm
Caryn:

As for what's scary, I am somewhat scared that the GOP is hoping to turn "A Handmaid's Tale" from a dystopian novel into a documentary. (I blame your link, glenn, for leading me to start thinking at the GOP again! Dammit! But in response, I give you this, not just for its content, but for the joy at seeing Colbert crack up completely: http://gawker.com/5791100/watch-stephen-colberts-defense-of-planned-parenthood)
  5:19pm
Caryn:

I'm torn. Listening to WFMU but watching a documentary about Klaus Voormann, bass player/artist/guy who designed the cover of "Revolver". Difficult to decide what to focus on more... For now, they're creating a nice sound collage.
  5:22pm
kat330:

@common: Yeah, "crappy" is the keyword. Music can actually make or break a film (IMO), but it's these meandering, why-even-bother-to-record tracks put behind stuff (NCIS may be the worst offender, but because of its mass appeal, now they ALL do it. And I only saw NCIS when I was at my mother's, a fave of hers.)
  5:23pm
Mike East:

@Caryn and glenn - Thanks for the Colbert links. I've been hurting my face smiling so hard. He's the one thing I miss about cable television.
  5:27pm
Mark T in VT:

Too bad there couldn't be music and sound like this to go with the shut ups after Kurt.
  5:28pm

@Caryn: "rounded up to the nearest 90%" was choice. Gee, I gotta check out our Walgreens more carefully. I had no idea.

I enjoy these recent phone interviews/requests.
  5:52pm

I don't think the lyrics were that dated at all. We are backsliding in too many ways. Yes, thanks for the interviews and the Prince, Kurt. I gotta run! Safe St. Paddy's day to everyone!

My next door neighbor was a family member of the Ohio Players. One of their non-musical brothers. Satchell, I believe the family name was.

Oh, Petula, I've missed you!
  5:58pm

I live for this song.

Anybody else find that the moment when Petula mutters "Yeh" as the orch goes into the second bridge is just sublime? Great show, KG.
