Atlantis

No.264, aired June 18, 2014, featuring the epic “Atlantis” by Sun Ra and a live reading of the final section of Hart Crane’s epic The Bridge, also titled “Atlantis.”

Final episode to air on Regina’s CJTR 91.3 FM. 264 hours. Good-bye CJTR – thank you for supporting my kooky side-show - it’s been a shit-ton of thrills.

Woom Toom!

No.263, aired June 11, 2014.

A slightly grim second-last episode. I didn’t take good notes but I’m pretty sure I played more of the book of Ezekiel. Theme turned out to be the interplay of birth and death. If I had planned it ahead of time I would have included GWAR’s Womb With A View – “so your womb can become the tomb of my dead baby.” But that’s OK because Nomeansno’s Body Bag has “Is it a womb or is it a tomb – or is it something completely different?” Also note accidental inclusion of the band Dayglo Abortions and two tracks from the Butthole Surfers’ album Abortion Locust Technician. All further proof that the id is a better DJ than the ego. Let the tomb of this program be the womb of another.

Punk Emetics Descension

No.261, aired May 14, 2014.

This was a fun one. Liberal use of the Emetics Minute Album (60+ concrete music experiments, each one minute long), along with Off! and Xenakis, enabled me to make the first half sound like a punk rock version of Zappa’s Lather album. Part 2 featured Descension, a British noiz-assault-improv band I have heard whispers and legends about for years, but only recently acquired in CD form. Plus poetry galore! Readings in the first half of Regina poet Aleks McHugh. The second half featured more from YELLOW FIELD #NINE, collated by Edric Mesmer. Texts by Lori Anderson Moseman and Kaie Kellough. As Out To Lunch is wont to say, what more could you want?
