Something of the Noseybonk About This

From a very creepy kids programme:



To a very poppy track and as usual, engaging video from FF - remember Noseybonk?

Mashed in Plastic

A new find for me, not too long after starting to listen to David Lynch's unnerving music and recording my clarinet on a remix by Haitus, (for which I imagined the well-pressed leg of his wool trouser suit) the debut album Crazy Clown Time by Lynch hits the streets - his face staring challengingly at us from larger-than-life posters all over the London underground.

And so to find a double album on the Mashed in Plastic website is a triple whammy of Lynchness for 2011, people are playing with his work and themes all the time and 1086 Productions have collated but a few.

Actually the aptly named Mashed in Plastic crew and their network are playing with all sorts of delicate female vocals and imagery you might enjoy. Colatron are one of those associates and the video work comes from just as aptly named collectives such as The Reborn Identity

Enjoy, don't get freaked out though.

The Middle East and Dungeon Humour

It's time to touch the wound. This Saturday 12th November we go Middle East and under.

Saturday Night Live - The Sultan of The United Acid Emirates

Some things, it is said, can only be known by witnessing them.

If this is said about you in the field of music, this counts as a huge compliment. And so it is with Ceephax Acid Crew, who recently released United Acid Emirates and has wowed audiences for the past 15 years with his analogue keyboard blockbuilding live sets and cockney demands for sustenance (beer) over the PA.

Expect early electronic and analogue mayhem.

Electronic Turkey, Midi Metal + Daphne Oram Industrial Reels - October 1st. 11



We'll be sampling tuns from remote mountains in Canada, tunes penned in Argentina, London, L.A and so on. Celebrating the ochres of Autumn and the not necessarily foreboding dark nights ahead, there's a veritable box of chocolates in there (sic SBTRKT).

From 1am Chris Weaver plays out industrial reels from Daphne Oram, her demo pieces to show the potential of her groundbreaking system.

Fishtailing Tonight Between Prevailing Analogue Revival and Rare Psych













Tonight Ruth White sets her synths to this Baudelaire poem (back in '69, but once again on the show):

Evening Harmony

The season is at hand when swaying on its stem
Every flower exhales perfume like a censer;
Sounds and perfumes turn in the evening air;
Melancholy waltz and languid vertigo!

Every flower exhales perfume like a censer;
The violin quivers like a tormented heart;
Melancholy waltz and languid vertigo!
The Sky is sad and beautiful like an immense altar.

The violin quivers like a tormented heart,
A tender heart, that hates the vast, black void!
The sky is sad and beautiful like an immense altar;
The sun has drowned in his blood which congeals...

A tender heart that hates the vast, black void
Gathers up every shred of the luminous past!
The sun has drowned in his blood which congeals...
Your memory in me glitters like a monstrance!

— W. Aggeler, The Flowers of Evil (Fresno, CA: Academy Library Guild, 1954)
