NWW List A-Z Installment #34

With the tune count pulling in at FOUR, this week's show sees the absolute fewest tunes I've played in a single show... probably ever. The first hour brings three 20 minute bits (some eastern flavored kraut, noisy concrete and French weirdness) and the last hour is a single, fuzzed-out operatic bit of krautrock distortion!

Noisy noisy NOI-sy assed show this time around... All long tunes again as well except for one and less melody than concrete and distortion, though many of the tunes are low key and sluggish. Tucked into the middle of it all is one of my favs from the 60's the Velvet's classic tune about a drag queen dressed as a nun at an orgy......

NWW List A-Z Installment #32

Two more shows left after this one... at least for the A-Z trek we've spent most of the year on. In November I'm considering beginning a weekly tie in thread for the set list... All Kraut, all French, all people Zappa's worked with, all Jass... Thinking about tweaking the format as well. Maybe change up the bookend tunes, alter the tone perhaps. Not sure yet, still considering options. Speaking of bookends, this week's fare showcases three concrete-y pieces being book-ended by two Kraut tunes. Interesting mix...

NWW List A-Z Installment #30

As I'm running out of bands to play A-Z material from, I've decided to extend for the last 30 groups the limit I've imposed of 10 minutes or as close as I can get per title, to the maximum song length I have available..... just to milk this excursion length-wise as much as I can, so this week's set is only comprised of 6 tunes rather than my "usual" 8-12... So we got a little Kraut including a Holger side project, some French weirdness and all-in-all, like last week's alphabetically dictated kismetic selection, this week's fair is very mellow....VERY mellow, so sit back with your favorite herb and/or whatever else will tranquilize your mind and get ready for a long strange journey...

WHAT A CRAZILY MELLOW SHOW this week 'round! If you're in a chillun' mood, this week's podcast will do the trick... I'm doing a little something different this week as well, set-list wise. As I've said before, during this alphabetical excursion, I'm playing the solo artists by order of the first letter of their FIRST name... not last. Thus Frank Zappa is played as an "F" and not a "Z". So I played Malfatti and Wittwer back in the "M"s. I'm starting off this week with the three Steves on the list and thought I'd begin with a Stephan Wittwer (OF Malfatti and Wittwer) SOLO piece as an extra special bonus track for tonight's set  list (because I really like it)... Starting out with some classical and jass, including an orchestral piece by Steve Reich, going to a few rock bits then a couple of avaunt-garde voice based tunes... ending with the MIGHTY Tangerine Dream! I chose a long one for them! ;)
