Acch! Higher-ups have been alerted. (Thanks Holland Oats.) |

NO NAMES:
Don't understand the dual name, in English they call themselves No Names, but the English translation of the name Ksat Acheret is 'a little different'. not 'no names'? | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:08pm
tonyc:
Don't pretend to understand myself! Info is from Rate Your Music. |

Whew! Got on the wrong playlist and had to take the stairs! Mazel tov, Tony! | |

Hi, Tony! Can't stay at the keyboard, but thought you should know the front page of FMU links to John Allen's playlist where it says to you. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:10pm
tonyc:
The divine Liz B has fixed the playlist link. Thanks, Liz. |

Danny Ben-Israel's Bullshit 3 1/4 is surely the wildest album in all Israeli pop music! | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:12pm
tonyc:
One of them, fer sure. Wait for Amnon Raviv's "Mirror" later in the show, though. |
|

NO NAMES:
is it the same Churchill's who mutated into Jericho and recorded heavy rock album in London in the early 70s? | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:14pm
tonyc:
Yep -- the same. |
|

Hey there, Van! |

Tue. 7/10/12 12:21pm
tonyc:
The Churchill's are the backing band on this Oshik Levy album. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:25pm
Menachem Montalbanowitz:
An all-Israeli show? In true Portland fashion, I will start to angrily demand an all-Palestinian followup show, only will choke to death on some loose-leaf tea and kombucha.. | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:28pm
NO NAMES:
Surely Menachem you mean a politically correct multi faith show of Christian, Muslim and Jewish music with bands like Bustan Abraham etc? | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:33pm
NO NAMES:
Israeli experimental music is bit of a revelation to me, as I always found their psyche and prog to be very melodic, as though the Beatles and Barclay James Harvest are their favourite influences? | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:33pm
tonyc:
I would do a three-hour Palestinian psych, prog, and experimental music show if such a thing were possible. I figgers these musicians have little or nothing to do with the political situation over there. |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:34pm
tonyc:
@ No Names: Know what you mean. Fusion seems to be a big influence too. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:35pm
Menachem Montalbanowitz:
I was surprised to learn that there is a really big Noise Music scene in Israel right now. | |
|

conrad:
I eagerly await Uri Geller's "Come On Love"! | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:38pm
tonyc:
Ha! I do have a Uri Geller LP. Didn't make the cut, though. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:38pm
NO NAMES:
Hey Conrad, How about all those punk versions of Hava Negila! | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:42pm
conrad:
Oh yeah, Dick Dale also did a killer "Hava." | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:43pm
Menachem Montalbanowitz:
It would be funny if your Uri Geller record was warped. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:44pm
tonyc:
Like a bent spoon, you mean? Ho! |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:45pm
Menachem Montalbanowitz:
Yeah, or from storing near a Salvador Dali LP | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:47pm
tonyc:
Don't have any Salvador Dali LPs -- except for the Jackie Gleason one. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:48pm
conrad:
Oh, if only there really was such a thing as a Salvador Dali album! I bought a Dali-esque clock for our house that looks like it's melting. Wifey does not like it. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:54pm
tonyc:
This Shlomo Gronich may sound like a crappy mp3, but is actually a horribly mastered CD. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:57pm
Menachem Montalbanowitz:
I briefly left the room and came back to what I thought was Harry Nilsson | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:58pm
listener james from westwood:
i date from the hold-the-antenna-at-this-angle-to-get-the-station era. i've got a wiiiiiiide definition of crappy sound. :) | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 12:59pm
tonyc:
@ Menachem Montalbanowitz: No -- it was Shlomo Nilsson. |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:01pm
tonyc:
@ Listener James: I hear ya. I'm just pissed they did such a poor mastering job, as it's one of the very best Israeli albums I know of. |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:03pm
tonyc:
Coming up next: Amnon Raviv's "Mirror" -- probably the most unique Israeli album I've heard. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:12pm
northguineahills:
I really dig this Amnon Raviv. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:13pm
tonyc:
Igor Krutogolov, on now, is the leader of the band Kruzenshtern & Parohod, who have a bunch of avant-klezmer-ish CDs out. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:13pm
Menachem Montalbanowitz:
@listener james: I find that coming from that era has made my (maybe yours too) into a noise reducer, bad signal descrambler. I think we're more tolerant of poor sound than these poor kids who grew up on digital media. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:14pm
tonyc:
@ Northguineahills: Same here -- I think it's great. Amnon Raviv also has a second record I've never heard. These days he's a professional clown! |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:15pm
Menachem Montalbanowitz:
Having grown up at the foot of a mountain that effectively blocked TV and FM signals, I can not only descramble the worst looking picture but can also filter static, fuzz and distortion with my brain. | |

Van in DC:
WFMU the film is only $9 short of their $67k challenge goal :) | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:21pm
tonyc:
@ Conrad: What a steal! (Stealing from the buyer, I mean.) I do see pics of albums I'm playing today, though. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:22pm
listener james from westwood:
Not no more it ain't. :) | |

Tue. 7/10/12 1:23pm
Van in DC:
JAAAAAAAAMES! Whoo! I saw that :) | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:23pm
tonyc:
Thanks, James!!!! |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:24pm
listener james from westwood:
i think we need a kickstarter for tony to get that album!1 yeah, i saw it was about $264 out via twitter, so i pledged, then saw it was like $9 away and upped it. | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:25pm
northguineahills:
Too bad Yair from Tel Aviv isn't here.... | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:26pm
listener james from westwood:
holy crap, the total jumped by like $3k in the time since my last post. it now reads $70k. thanks to all who donated!! | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:26pm
Van in DC:
That even $67,000 sure looked pretty. Of course, the even $70,000 it just jumped up to is WOW! Someone JUST put in $3k more! | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:29pm
tonyc:
Now they'll have enough money to cover the Old Codger's whole history. |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:30pm
tonyc:
Surprisingly, Raviv Gazit -- on now -- started out his music career writing pop songs. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:32pm
Van in DC:
The current National Geographic has a short write up on Tuva, and (very) briefly mentions their throat singing. Read it today in my doctor's office, then someone tweeted a link to it a few minutes ago... http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/07/vanishing-languages/rymer-text | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:34pm
tonyc:
Oh, I thought you were going to say they had an article on the Old Codger's career. He is sort of a throat singer -- sounds pretty phlegmy anyhow. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:35pm
Van in DC:
You mean Ken...? The WFMU movie just jumped another $10k to $80k! | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:36pm
listener james from westwood:
i imagine there are collyer-bros.-style piles of nat'l geographics in the codger compound. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:37pm
tonyc:
@ Van in DC: No, not Ken! The Old Codger: www.flickr.com... |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:38pm
listener james from westwood:
67K + 13K = 80K. maybe they had to drop in the challenge grant $$$ in 2 pledges. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:39pm
tonyc:
Ken is the young codger. The old codger is at least 120. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:40pm
Van in DC:
Huh. Who knew? :) @LJFW - ya, that is what I was thinking too... | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:41pm
NO NAMES:
Tony, Is the orange season over or do you still plan on playing that album and Behind the sounds, one of my favourite Shlomo Gronich/Mathi Caspi albums? | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:43pm
tonyc:
Don't have "Behind the Sounds" -- wish I did! I'm not going to play any Tamouz, but will play something from a solo album by one of the members, Ariel Zilber. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:44pm
NO NAMES:
oh, that Tamouz album is considered in Israel as the finest prog album ever produced there! | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:46pm
tonyc:
I picked it up recently -- but didn't like it too much on first listen. Mebbe I'll warm up to it... |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:48pm
NO NAMES:
yes, I understand, it has a little of Supertramp/mid period Genesis sound about it that on first listen appears lightweight, but prolonged hearing might reveal a little more than that. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:53pm
tonyc:
I'll give it another chance for sure! |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:53pm
Carmichael:
Ach du Lieber! What a concept, Tony. I'm sitting in a 3-day vendor presentation, so no audio for me. I'll have to research the playlist this weekend. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:55pm
tonyc:
It'll be there waiting for you. (Greetings, Carmichael!) |

Here's a fun vid of Intensive Care Unit: www.youtube.com... |

NO NAMES:
Has anyone out there got a recording of the 1992 Klezmatics John Peel session, which I heard but did not reocrd. It was amazing like Klezmer done as space rock, like Shlomo Carlebach mixed with Hawkwind! | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 1:58pm
Van in DC:
That video - Not one of my languages :) | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:00pm
tonyc:
The music kicks in after a brief spoken intro. T'ain't one of my languages neither. |

Tue. 7/10/12 2:02pm
Van in DC:
Too many...zombies? :) | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:02pm

@ No Names: Pas moi. |
|

Tue. 7/10/12 2:04pm
tonyc:
@ Van in DC: Sounds reasonable to me.... |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:05pm

Though, on the other hand, there can never be enough zombies... |

Tue. 7/10/12 2:13pm
dane:
heya Tony, damn got here late again thanks for that ICU video. how do you find that stuff? do you read the Hebrew? | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:14pm
tonyc:
Hey Dane! Nope, Hebrew is Greek to me. (And Greek is Hebrew to me, I guess.) |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:15pm
tonyc:
Found their Hebrew name online is all.... |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:21pm
tonyc:
Doesn't this sound kinda like Os Mutantes? |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:23pm
tonyc:
Talk about yer fuzz.... |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:27pm

Big thanks to Joe Copolovich for helping me track down a bunch of things used on today's show. |
|

Tue. 7/10/12 2:36pm
tonyc:
Coming up following this set, something non-Israeli: the radio premiere of a 13-minute just (about-to-be) released early '80s Rascal Reporters track. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:41pm
dane:
wow that youtube channel has loads of cool stuff I need to check out after your show. like Chromosome, got anything by them? | |

All of that was totally alien to me. Always edutaining, this GTDR stream :) | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:44pm
tonyc:
Stick around for the Rascal Reporters!!!! |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:45pm

@ Dane: Nope, I have no Chromosomes. I am a genetic puzzle.... |

Tue. 7/10/12 2:45pm
listener james from westwood:
glad this is a regular, non–tape hiss show so i can hear it again. lovely israeli block! | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:46pm
tonyc:
Thanks, James! Wish I could archive the Tape Hiss shows, but it can not be. |

Tue. 7/10/12 2:47pm
NO NAMES:
anything interesting on the next tape hiss show, Tony? | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:49pm

Hope so! Haven't figured out yet what it'll be. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:52pm
Van in DC:
For a minute there I thought some ad in another browser tab auto-started on me :) | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:53pm
NO NAMES:
Does any one know what happened to a loner folk reissue label/internet asian site called Big Pink records? | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:54pm
listener james from westwood:
no prob; it makes hearing the hiss shows all the more special. hell, they're not even floating away from the planet like a terrestrial broadcast does. blink your ears and you'll miss 'em. | |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:56pm
NO NAMES:
Tony, great show, one of a kind, thanks. I can imagine you doing same thing for Australian music, Swedish Prog, Chilean/Argentinian music. | |
|
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:57pm
tonyc:
Thanks, No Names! Theoretically, I'd like to do one for every country. |
|
Tue. 7/10/12 2:58pm
