Trying to AVOID Jass...

Going over the last month's+ shows I've noticed that I've been playing a LOT of Jassy stuff. Fusion, avant garde, straight... It's kind of hard to avoid as a genre in the list a ,many acts delve into it. So tonight I tried to avoid it altogether. I let a couple slip in, but most of the pieces I picked can be called, "accessible but still weird". Mostly upbeat and fun stuff and I let WinAmp choose a "random" mix this time instead of arranging the songs from accessible/uptempo to inaccessible and drudging. All of the file from the last 6 shows are now ready to edit which I plan to do tonight after this, the 7th episode I am behind in uploading. Looking forward to being caught up!

Feelin' JASS-y tonight!

.........it's called, "The IRREGULAR Show"....ok? Alright though, now that summer is over and fall term has begun at the University of Oregon from which I transmit this crap, I will be on pretty much every week for the next 7 or 8 months... and in the winter over the December break I will likely have my semi-yearly "6 hours of fucked up Xmas music" marathon, so mark your calendars for the 25th of December from midnight to 6AM. ANYhow, as the title of this post implies, I am going Jazzy tonight with the NWW list fare. Mostly pretty upbeat and "dancey" so if you FEEL like it, grab some stranger off the alley in back your placez and grease up your kitchen floor so's you two can scoots around in comfy shoes to the big, boppy bass beats jammin' in yer ears. (and of course I veer off at the end)

Familiar to savvy North Americans...

You know, the thing about procrastinating a weekly task is that after 4 or 5 weeks it becomes a chore of cumulative tasks... Anyhow, it turns out the 25 artists I selected that I deem a truly musically aware North American should be... well, aware of lend themselves (with long and some sudden intros and outros and longer than 5 minute tracks) to more complicated mixing than I normally endeavour. 10, 20, 30... up to 60 seconds of crossfade this week at times. A very electronic at first, then rocky then quiet/odd and sombre at the end set. Nice to drift to sleep to. OH YA! AND I MADE IT 3 HOURS instead of TWO!! Have fun and I will also try and keep the discourse to 1X an hour.

OK, I suck...

So, I missed another show and as of 2AM I'll be 4 podcast postings behind. I'm involved in a local theater troupe (Trek Theatre) that does live performances of TNG episodes and this time around I'm concurrently Production Manager, Stage Manager, Sound Tech and making props and set pieces. Also been dealing with a twat I work with at my new job and it's been a record setting hot Summer here in Eugene and I hate Summer and heat... So, I've just not been in the mood to spend any more spare time on 'worky obligations'... The play is now in performance so I have four less days of "must attends" so after tonight's show, before the weekend is out (maybe) I'll have everything caught up... Or not.

Women II

Holy CRAP I'm behind! I  missed a show two weeks ago and the last two times I was in the studio, I forgot to bring my thumb drive so I could take the show home to post on my podcast... I PROMISE that I'll bring the last 3 home tonight and post them by Sunday night. I am involved in a production of a Star Trek TNG episode adaptation (DejaQ) with a local sci-fi theater company and need to make final edits all the sound effects by tomorrow so I won';t have time to post the shows before then... Probably tomorrow night but DEFINITELY by Sunday... So as the title of this post reads, this is the SECOND all WOMEN show I'm doing from the list and it's pretty comprehensive, though I might have missed one or two groups with female vocalists on a song here and there, though I have included such as Lemon Kittens with a Danielle Dax vocal and The Inner Space, the proto-Can group Jaki Liebezeit was in that has a couple tunes with Rosey Rosey (or Rosemarie Heinikel as she was born). Get set to hear two hours worth of GORGEOUS female throat oscillations!!

On a hot summer night...

...would you offer your THROAT.... to the wolf with the red... roses? Yes, it's a FULL TWO HOURS of JIM STEINMAN and MEATLOAF!.... erm.... not. Nothing AGAINST them, of course. "Bat" is one the the most CLASSIC 70's rock albums EVER....! But that's just a ref to the frickin' HEAT! I was in Florence, Or earlier today and though the sun was hot, the wind felt chilly as the arctic blast it was. Like sitting in front of a HUGE air conditioner while outside in the sunshine. Really odd. ANY-how... As opposed to last week's German invasion, this week I feature no bands from Rhineland to realign things. As usual I start out accessible and tonight I'm drifting into the 'iffy' range per really out there tunes a bit early. Usually it's the last 30, 45 minutes but tonight I think it's about an hour or more. Guess the line is fine depending on where one sits on the weird music fence. I AM featuring 3 minimalist composer greats from the 20th century toward the end... Xenakis, Stockhausen and Reich. Ending with white noise basically (literally, actually on a couple levels) with a classic Whitehouse number.
