Captain’s Log, stardate 2025-10-04. Morale has been a little low on the ship of late, so Lt. Ouncer has organised a bit of fun to cheer everybody up. We’ve all put some money into a pot, first one to get Scotty in engineering to say “I cannae change the laws of physics” takes it all.
I mean, it's not like he had a gun to his head or anything. Treading the boards again for a Magic Net project is a dear old friend from the golden days of cassette culture, in which he was the proud editor of the Zeitgeist zine, although I'm sure he prefers to be remembered as the Scary Donut from Officer Kitty. And even if he doesn't, let's remind him... o
Magic Bullet & Twizz - Officer Kitty vs The Donut (5:43) from "Halloween Ruidoso 2022" (Otcrah Records, 26th October 2022) https://otcrahrecords.bandcamp.com/album/halloween-ruidoso-2022 o Up until a few years ago, he was running his own radio station under the Zeitgeist banner, as well as publishing a webzine under the name of The Rocker, the latter still surviving as a blog, a fact I only became aware of this week when he published a plug for our new collaboration with Melophobia, 'Man + Machine 2 : Unification / Assimilation'. Nice man. Almost makes me feel guilty for reminding folk about the Scary Donut thing. Almost...
Who says cover art doesn't matter? It was the excellent artwork, credited to Sick Ced, on this one that caught my eye when scrolling through one of the many Facebook groups The Zuckerberg tries to stop me posting in, and what a piece of good fortune that was, a fine album indeed is 'Dehumanize The World', plus it brings two new names to the show. Brainquake is Belgian experimentalist Marc Ceulemans, Gross Gadgetto is French electronic music producer Christian Gonzalez, and their coming together produces this thing of joy. Explore all lines, learn to speak space, aucun regret à avoir... https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/dehumanize-the-world https://grossogadgetto.bandcamp.com https://brainquake.bandcamp.com
02. Black Saturn and Igor Amokian - Space Game (4:06) Another show virgin now in the shape of Black Saturn, don't think I've had anything even vaguely rap on here before either. Well, I probably wouldn't, not a fan. But this is experimental rap, with more than just a little help from Dr. Amokian, creator of many a strange and wonderful sound that we have had on several times before and who did a couple of cool jingles for this episode. Nice man. This comes from an album called 'Cosmic Backspin (sightly bent)', which is described as, and I quote; "A blueprint to the science of experimental hip-hop. Lesson 1. Never sound like anyone else, if you're not experimenting, you're imitating!" Washington DC street poetry meets Los Angeles CA circuit bending. Nuff said... https://blacksaturn.bandcamp.com/music
03. Fallen Sun - Beyond The Flat Earth: Session 40 (3:24) Three newbies in a row? Excellent stuff! This is the work of one Siew Y'ng-Yin from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which is totally virgin territory for the show, but we may well be revisiting if this is anything to go by. I actually discovered her work through the collaboration album she did with RDKPL under the Fallen Sun banner, which she explains is the noise/industrial alter-ego (I know something about those!) of Reverse Image. The featured track comes from the album 'Beyond The Flat Earth', which is not going to help our ongoing battle to get Skit to understand it is actually a sphere, but that's another story... https://fallensun.bandcamp.com https://reverseimage.bandcamp.com
Juba is anything but a first timer on the show, also being one who goes all the way back to the heady cassette culture days of Music & Elsewhere with Pseudo Sun and Captain's Log. Nowadays plying his trade with Swedish (and a Finn) post-punksters, Dead Pollys, who will be playing live in Nine Backward on next month's show, beaming them straight to the Holostage after their gig in Preston the same night. I said I'd give them a hand roadieing, which will probably involve working in a supervisory capacity whilst complaining about my bad back, but it's the thought that counts. Tonight's track is from one of Juba's side projects which he proudly proclaims as lightweight space pop. Let's get them retro-rockets fired, space cadets... https://on.soundcloud.com/pV5tPZfsXcnTnjEaA |
