NWW List A-Z Installment #9

We're (my Homunculus Manitous and myself) finishing the D's AND all of the E's tonight. Only 5 E's and they're all, save a French Jazz act, Kraut groups. In fact 6 of the 10 acts featured tonight are. We also have a little avantgarde experimental noise and really that's about it per genre this time around. Kraut, Noise and a little Jazz... Although technically, Kraut is more of a movement comprised of many different genres' explored by German musicians... but that's splitting hairs. Oh, one of the albums I've drawn from was recorded in the 70's for an unproduced film about the Viking Mars Mars probe and not released until the 00's and one of the acts is of mysterious origins....... (did those two hooks pique your interest enough to draw you in?) .......Should be a fun show.

NWW List A-Z Installment #8

This week we begin (and for all but 5 acts, end) the D's, and I've run into a chunk of groups with the most short pieces offered yet. As I've said before, I'm trying to feature tunes as close to 10 minutes each as I can and have so far been mostly successful. But another weird pattern emerged with this set and it offered me more than half the groups with no songs (that I have anyway) reaching the 10 minute mark... in fact 5 of them are about average length for "normal" radio fare. Another noisey week though with some punk, a piece of sound poetry, a couple of concrete pieces and some free jazz. The first act featured is one of only two on the entire list that has only a single recorded piece in existence. Though to be fair, the other one, Sphinx Tush has two different versions of their lone number, so Dadazuzu is definitely the lone songman, so to speak...

So it appears that what happened last week was when I input the 1st blank CD into my DVD ROM drive to burn for the show, I accidentally chose "Burn Data Disc" from the pop-up window without realizing it and the CD drives in the station's on-air studio didn't know what the hell to do with them.... So this week we press on. Finishing the C's, we have a somewhat noisy show tonight with a couple of really long pieces, pushing the 20 minute mark.

NWW List A-Z Installment #6

Still in the C's, this week we have only one Kraut group which is quite rare as over 1 of 6 bands on the list fit that bill. Also one of my favorite American groups on the list, a solo effort by the lead of one of my all-time favorite groups, Magma, two Jazz ensembles, a Czech rock group, two AMAZING female French singers and tunes from 3 albums who's cover art coincidentally feature scrawled images of African animals. Next week we finish the C's!

NWW List A-Z Installment #5

We're in for another great show with a distinct persona this week! Lots of droning and hypnotic stuff including (as usual) a good amount of Kraut (with the flagship Kraut group, Can), some nice electronica, militant homosexual cabaret and the genius vision of Don Vliet aka Captain Beefheart, in perfect timing with the LONG awaited (36 years) posthumous release this coming Monday, of his Bat Chain Puller album by the Zappa Family Trust due to legal crap and hard feelings... In tribute to and celebration of this wonderful event, I'm going to add a song from it in order each week after this until I play the entire thing.

Wow, LOTTA jassy tunes this week! Funny how each week's 10 tunes seem to have a discernible 'flavor'; last week was 'weird' prog rock. the week before, harder prog rock and the 1st week, I'd say was more of a European acid influenced rock. Many titular
bands/songs (and/or) albums this week as well. I'd say a lot of French and Scandinavian artists too, but that's pretty much every week. So shines the bumpy road that is the NWW List...
