May Flowers May Day (#53)

from TKDF : Tris-kai-deka-phobia Hosted by Ian F-R

Source is found here. Originally broadcast on May 1, 1997. This is another fun show I remember listening to repeatedly. I think the title here is purely nominal and doesn't relate to any springtime or labor-related content. The energy level starts pretty high and active. There is a prevalance of spastic burbling and garbled chatter, bobbing back and forth between music fragments and blasts of verbal nonsense, and feedback—ranging from a hollow, ringing sheet to a rolling bass shudder—recurs throughout the show. Featured largely throughout is Atavistic Records' 1996 "State of the Union" compliation, a two-disc set of 146 one-minute tracks of avant musics, spoken word, and collage bits. I am also happy to hear Protoblast's "Ex-Neurosurgeon" again at about the 1 hour 23 minute mark, a great, compact song from the great NC comp "Cognitive Mapping Vol 2" from Friction Media. I will need to pull that CD out again. Saxophone overtakes tape deck Backwards sucking vampire guitar Meta-radio instructions Let's turn on You're the earth The singing stone I know you can Record player won't turn, it's stuck Sounds of being the sky Mr. Price is amused Thriller loop, screams, and static Body bomb with background turntablism Trash can party
