FAREWELL TRANSMISSION

This is it for the Get Up - thank you for your fone calls, your love letters and your attention paid. This was one of my favourite shows and three hours flew by like a bird into a window: suddenly. It may be six months or more before I dust myself off and make it back to play more music, but it will happen someday. I'll try to do something useful with myself in the meantime.

Coiled Galaxy, Gregory Whitehead

Here's something Gregory Whitehead wrote about whereever he was broadcasting from - sounds like the Pacific Northwest, who knows:


“The radio station of the NIGHT SKY and the HOUSING CRISIS, of CRANBERRY HARVESTS and CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION, of LAZY SWIMS and HIGH-SPEED FERRIES, of CHILDREN BUILDING CASTLES ON THE BEACH and JUNKIES SHOOTING SKAG IN THE PARKING LOT, of BLUEBERRY BUSHES and BULL MARKETS.”

You can learn more about him at the Transom Review, which is coincidentally a rad resource.

I'm going to the Netherlands, with only seaside bike rides and smoked Gouda to distract myself from all the folks I left back home. Audience participation is encouraged - call in & request a song for somebody you need to see on a daily basis --

Folkbomb explosion aftermath

We really jazzed it up for the first hour, transitioning to other genres with a Sharon Jones track. Somebody called in to reprimand me about some dead air when I came back from a bathroom break. That bummed me out. Being on the radio is the best, though, and I picked myself off, dusted myself off, and played some Flaming Lips.

That's it for me today. Time to do some editing and ride the bike home.

In awe of the axes

This is a really neat site. Kind of a like a Canadian Blogotheque. Lovely, lonely, handmade videos for a variety of Canadian artists from here, there, and all those provinces you've never visited. Brought to my attention by Mathias Kom of the Burning Hell.

Today's high points were the steel drum-laced Hindou track from El Guincho, and a couple of surprise quiet songs from Emma Tricca (who is she??) and Good Old War. The low points were not worth mentioning, save to say that folk music is like a brambly forest, at first you are having a lovely walk through, and suddenly you are entangled in a scratchy, prickly, unpleasant and high-pitched whinging sort of bush from which there is no escape, until the stupid song finishes and you can put on another.

Eric Dolphy // Something Sweet, Something Tender
Charles Mingus // Better Get Hit in Yo Soul**
The Modern Jazz Quartet // The Cylinder
Stan Getz // The Telephone Song**
Thelonious Monk & John Coltrane // Trinkle, Tinkle
Milt Jackson // Ain't Misbehavin'
St Vincent // Now, Now
Melaena Cadiz // Rattle the Windows
Geoff Muldaur & the Texas Sheiks // The World is Going Wrong
Konono No. 1 // Mama Na Bana
Tim Hus // Canadian Pacific
Women // Eyesore
Annie Lou // Spit and Polish
Laurie Anderson // Dark Time in the Revolution
Iron & Wine // Innocent Bones**
Washed Out // New Theory**
Family Trees // Dream Talkin'**
Kisses // People Can Do the Most Amazing Things
Buck 65 - Lee - Lovitz // Wake Up Quack
El Guincho // Hindou**
Beautiful Swimmers // Big Coast
Ketch Harbou Wolves // Breakdown
Kid Cudi, Best Coast & Rostram of Vampire Weekend // All Summer
Good Old War // That's Some Dream
Emma Tricca // Blind Time**
Panda Bear // Take Pills
Jake & the Leprechauns // Bowhead Song

That's it for today, forest wanderers. There are too few weeks left and I don't know what I'm gonna do when I can't be on the radio anymore.

A Primer on Photography from a Guy Named Pepe

The photography that Pepe Karmel is writing about in this article may be interesting in itself, but what I enjoyed about this particular piece of internet rag is how much one can learn about the merits, shall we say, of different styles of photography. I guess photography is similar to poetry in that the medium originated with much attention to form, and later, looser styles emerged with a cacophony of debate around their particular advantages etc.

Check this thing out and see if you don't learn anything:

The Idlers can be tracked at idlers.ca; check out their totally entertaining blog at that site; and see them live at Dickens' Pub tomorrow night (Tuesday, June 1st) and the Palomino on June 17th.

Check it out at http://themidnaporecycle.com/. Performances start June 10th and run til June 13th.

Talk to all y'all next week--

More volcanoes

Though it has nothing to do with the show, it has everything to do with the blog. Mt. St Helens - all these pictures are worth seeing, and they are glorious, sizeable and high quality, but this one's the icing on the cake:

I am absent this week as am in Toronto, so thank you to Nathan for covering. I will be back next week with something that will sweeten yr back-to-sleep dreams, or make you wanna jump out of bed and attack the week; either way it will be better than ambrosia salad.

I know, like, everybody's already said it, but man, how about that volcano?

LISZTOMANIA

Apparently, Liszt was a total ladies' man back in the day, knocking them dead with his sweet sweet symphonic poems. That's part of what informed the title of Phoenix's latest release. Here's a group of kids from New York PS22 doing a cover of the title track from that album... see how in love they are with the song? courtesy iguessimfloating.com
