Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from October 8, 2024 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

Several weeks back I played a DJ set on this show, which I mentioned was a DJ set from a show that I had played at. This is that show: I was the "between set" entertainment, while GofG got a break between performances. Now you can hear what the band sounded like.

The Beer Bunker... I've always been intrigued by that stretch of of SE Stark in Portland, whenever I had occasion to drive through it. Lots of odd shops and friendly looking bars, and an old movie theater. Never bothered to stop, though.

This place was nice. I got a free coffee drink while I was there, the patio / outdoor area in the back is excellent, and there's lots of other food and stuff to do in that area. And no one gave me a weird look for wearing a mask. All bonus points.
  9:29pm

It's a great spot but it's all concrete so I'm amazed we got it to sound this good.

Care to list off some of the band members' favorite bands and influences?
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:36pm
Austin Rich:

↳ Tom @9:30
Yes, in the photo you can see the windows behind the band, and the rest of the space is more designed for beer-hall drinkin', rather than for bands playing. But with a little luck, you can get something that sounds not-bad, considering.
  9:36pm

The band is me on bass, Evelyn on keyboards and saw, and Kurtis on keyboards, keyboard drums and bass. They are amazing.
