WFMU: Nat Roe: Playlist from July 17, 2012

Nat Roe: Playlist from July 17, 2012

Collage, cut-ups, and crass appropriation. New aesthetic, top-40 fixation, and computer music, both contemporary and historic. Homespun remix smooth, stunt coding, and science non-fiction rantage.

Tue. 7/17/12 12:31am Veronica:

Hi Nat, looking forward to all the recursive audio! Sounds good so far.

Tue. 7/17/12 12:38am sinister dexter:

rocket morton ...nww?

Tue. 7/17/12 12:46am Nat:

Yes! That was one of the suggestions, Dexter. Coming up!

Tue. 7/17/12 12:54am Veronica:

Cheesy dance music and recursion sounds like a good combo

Tue. 7/17/12 12:56am sinister dexter:

Tue. 7/17/12 12:58am Veronica:

Tue. 7/17/12 1:28am neil:

inframan is on later <>im going multi media<>might even read an old timey newspaper.

Tue. 7/17/12 1:31am Nat:

Futuristic

Tue. 7/17/12 1:44am neil:

me too smoke break. the future is meow!

Tue. 7/17/12 1:46am fred:

Hello Nat and listeners

Tue. 7/17/12 1:54am Colin in Glasgow:

Whoa! That sports bar theme is like actual sound of triumph over adversity.

Tue. 7/17/12 2:01am wrof:

compression of the beast

Tue. 7/17/12 2:15am fred:

Great set Nat, I'm gonna have to (try to) wake up earlier from now on...

Tue. 7/17/12 2:19am Veronica:

This one's beautiful. Doesn't sound like what I would associate with Gavin Bryars...very cool.

Tue. 7/17/12 2:20am fred:

@Veronica: agreed. I first heard it at a contemporary dance show and I loved it instantly

Tue. 7/17/12 2:21am Veronica:

@Fred: There were choreographed movements to this?

Tue. 7/17/12 2:23am fred:

Well, not exactly following the music, more the phrases, and matching the general mood. It was by William Forsythe

Tue. 7/17/12 2:24am Veronica:

Nice

Tue. 7/17/12 2:24am Nat:

Well, there are always the archives, Fred. This one'a s bit schmaltzy, gotta admit.

Tue. 7/17/12 2:26am wrof:

according to Wikipedia, Tom Waits made a recording of this, "singing along with the original recording of the vagrant during the final section". Doesn't surprise me, as he's an imposter and opportunist.

Tue. 7/17/12 2:27am fred:

@Veronica: It's called Quintett, from 1993. Very unusual for Forsythe, who usually goes for speed and virtuosity

Tue. 7/17/12 2:30am fred:

@Nat: the archives... but then it means I'm not listening to the live stream. I already have trouble keeping up with Billy Jam

Tue. 7/17/12 2:32am Veronica:

Gotta love YouTube. Thanks Fred. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyLpZjKo3Nk

Tue. 7/17/12 2:38am neil:

think it is a genetic disorder. mongoloid

Tue. 7/17/12 2:52am fred:

It reminds me of Dylan's Xmas record, for the cringe factor

Tue. 7/17/12 2:57am fred:

You got off easy; have you read "Apex hides the hurt" by Colson Whitehead?
