Two Tramps In Mud Time

A brief but rousing little mini-cast cause my day is slow and indie pop is rocking the office headphones Murder by Death - Dead Men and Sinners A boisterous sea chanty gets the punk push in this piece by the blurred concept artists. The Essex Green - Julia A sweet memento is waiting to be claimed by this song by the now elsewhere and too busy to work on music music group Essex Green. No fear next time I hear them playing again I'll be sure to go. Franz Ferdinand - Cheating On You Boy wow these guy's will be big someday soon. That's right ttmt bringing you the freshness. Hot Chip - Plastic A shame I used up the popularity joke on Franz. The Olivia Tremor Control - Grass Canons Never forget the Elephant Six. Some great bands came of off such a small label The Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #2 (Laika) Yeah I played them before too but that was a shitty live recording. Damn all this time And I still love that song. The rest of it, not so much. CHAOS - Grune A really really impromtu show includes the random memb

Ahhh - September when the air is cool and New York is less violently antithetical to human existence. To ring in the Calculus course and the Brooklyn Book Festival I bring you another mildly amusing number of songs that I heard in recent car commercials and funeral processions. Am I doing any of this right yet? No. I still make to many mistakes.1. The Fugs - Skin Flowers A long and semi-distinguished career has brought the Fugs a small amount of fame. Their Final CD compilation even got voted on highly by Rolling Stone for Greatest Album. The just had a reunion tour this year and are working towards releasing a DVD of it via CdBaby. site | buy 2. Portishead - Stranger (Live) The infamous live a Roseland show I believe. site | buy 3. The Hives - I Hate to Say I Told You So Not to often to I post straight up pop but the energy on this track (a sort of over produced punk) fit my mood too well to let it go. site | buy 4. The Fiery Furnaces - Navy Nurse New album 'Widow City' finds the old

A weird road trip is soon to ensue and what with the tornadoes and floods, school and work, moving and weddings - the summer wouldn't be complete were it not for the obligatory road trip. The omens do cloud the horizons just last night I was set upon at my window by may cockroaches trying to find their way inside. So spooked was I when one alit upon my head that in a panic my library book (Collected Anthology of Shakespearian Criticism 1945-2000) was lost out the window and into the inaccessible yard of my neighbor three floors below. Why were cockroaches trying to get into my house - seriously weird animal behavior .. . what dark portents. For the occasion of our outing I will share with you the mix cd that shall pilot us north-northwest to the capitol of cool Das Buffalo!50 hertz - Dagen da kriget kom till stanbonzo dog band - trouser songLords of the New Church - Gun Called Justicebruce haack - electric lucifermr bungle - chemical marriagethe soft boys - only the stones remainfatboy slim - weapon of choice

Hello everybody.Ahh the good times don't last long, not just yet recovered from a summer session of pre-calc (I got me an A, but the calluses betray my efforts for the pains it made of me) and already I find myself again in another class. English this time and good for it. First day out the gate and I've got four poems by Frost to analyze (and no, not a one of them is the eponymous "Two Tramps in Mud Time"). Nevermind I've never done it before - it seems that is the point to this learning endeavor.Also word has come down that a movement of my home to another house is in order. So while I'll be moving about I may, or not, have time to do anything podcast wise.Please be nice and patient with all this. I promise the slapdash haberdashery of these tiny collections will someday revert to the quality curio shop it once so proudly was.Till then; trucker speed and whores!Takako Minekawa - Fantastic CatForro In The Dark - I Wish (David Byrne)Dead Milkmen - Methodist Coloring BookDj Jester - Marwa (off of Filipino Fis

Faster and faster - this podcast goes out to my high score on the last test in Math 206. I do apologize for my priorities but I'm sure you all understand that the podcast takes a back seat to school.

Oh Boy and Howdy everybody - Long time since my last podcast and all apologies. You must understand that these times dissertations are cause for desperation and all my education has left me little time for communication. And so I've managed to pull myself together just in time for the monthlies 05. Lets get it on.01. John Lee Hooker - Hard Hearted WomanThe always esteem-able and vital, played here because you can never have to much of a good Hooker.02. Holy Modal Rounders - SynergyA supremely weird song that, I do believe, precedes the "paradigm shift" "synergy" of boardroom culture by a solid two scores worth of years. Take that to the bank you filthy suit bastards.03. Thee Headcoats - MantrapChrist, I can't shake the feeling that I must have played this one before. Not sure when or where. No matter. Billy Childish led this outfit of misfits in his own personal means of exercising his demons. Hard luck with that as twenty years later he's still trying. 04. Cocorosie - Terrible AngelsFrom La Maison de Mon Rê

Hey everybody,My names Pieter and I've got a horrible crush on the random noise of our musical landscape.1. Quintronics - Drum Buddy Intro (Reversed and Reverbed & Kick Opener)"Electrical energy, when closely examined, is in fact more similar in its complexity to a plant or an animal form than it is to the mechanical devices or computer machines with which it is usually associated. It is not necessarily more complex, but equally microcosmically [sp] complex." - Drum Buddy Island 2. Herbert - Moving Like a Train Herbert is one of the rare agitprop artists in the underground who is beyond convention, this though is a perfectly straightforward piece of soul - of such quality I get bubbly by the second half's panoramic heights. 3. Henrick Schwarz - You Rock, I Rock, We RockHenrick had a much raved about album last year, DJ Kicks, which was by all means OK. This is a snippet of a live set he playe

Another boisterous hour of music to show what little I've accomplished this month with my life. In jest though. Actually this month was exceedingly good in terms of what I've managed to do, school, work, etc are plodding along a staid course and I managed to do enough extracurricular math on the side to test out of math class and into math 206. Thrilling right?So on to the tunes. This month I want to highlight for your listening enjoyment my new favorite obscure band The Godz - a group hailing from NYC their infinitely weird take on music was unable to secure the necessary interest of times and the group has since faded to an odious obscurity. For my part in reviving this tragic tale I hereby swear to play too much of them for anyone who has actual taste in music. Also the last track has a bounty on it - $50 to the first person to name it and the artist. 01. Love - Stephanie Know WhoLove is back for another round with this frighteningly paranoid lovers perception of infidelity. Good times!02. 1910 Fruitgum Co

I flaked on the 2ManyDJ's show and all I got to show for it is this wide ranging and reeling falling over selection of Mashups, Bastard Pop, Bootlegs, and plunderphonical audio expositions. I now have a mike and nothing worthwhile to say, as evidenced in this weeks podcast.1. Pirate Sound System - Selektah RingtoneWhat a good idea. Mashup ringtones. Not my ringtone, but I'm sure there is someone who really appreciates this.2. 2ManyDj's - Radio Soulwax MontageA compressed mix with too many sources to cite. 2ManyDJs, the superstars of the modern mashup3. DNA feat. Suzanne Vega - Tom's DinerYeah, it's been a while since I heard this one. Kind of tough to track down a copy. But thanks goes out to the never forgetful internet for making this possible.4. Sherpa - Tecnologic PopA not bad piece with a solid usage of Daft Punk - not inspiring but sentimental.5. Unknown - CaitlinEven though I lost the artist name who did this, which usually means disqualification I had to include it for the looped TMBG horn section.6.

A catalyst is substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being destroyed in the process, more colloquially it is something, a person, event, or anything that propels one to act. And there is no finer introduction to the podcast that is The Yank Sizzler than the twined notions of inspiration and the active instigator that remains undestroyed. Last month I wrote lyrically of the John Peel and how his program had rekindled my fascination in the outer fringe of music. This month I want everyone to hear the podcast that inspired me to make my own.After I had gotten my filthy mitts on the bygone radio programs of Peel's shows I still yearned to find more - such is the nature of musical greed. Once you turn over a rock that has a vein of gold underneath you search the land to find more rocks just like it. Thankfully the modern era has the Internet and my trolling for music turned up Mike's Yank Sizzler. This would have been around episode two or three, showing that even the powerful catalyzing force of the

Ana's birthday has come and gone - a more festive time out than she'd thought it would be (still I was hoping for more but as these things go I am always more optimistic than is reasonable). The night began with a re-visit to the Tea Lounge in Park Slope, a gathering and launch off point for the various parties who I had hoped would congregate there before setting off to trip the light retrotastic at the Culture Club. Such was not to be the case - as ominously a Fleetwood Mac CD (Greatest Hits, I do believe) had gotten stuck in an infinite loop and everyone was subjected to two hours of breathless early 80's pap. Due to time constraints Fleetwood Mac will not be represented in this podcast. When complaints were lodged with the staff the music quickly got shuffled around to the likes of Modest Mouse - here freely intrepreted in a nice piece by World Famous Audio Hacker. The highlight of the first phase of the night was the presentation of the video compilation done by our friends back in Portland. A lot of goo

March is eye donor awareness, womens history, kidney, colorectal cancer, nutrition and, of course, National Noodle Month. More importantly it's Uner's birthday month.While we're shaking it down to 80's music this weekend the Monthlie is still what it is, a recap of the likes for the classic set. Tune in for the next weeklie for the birthday music.Sonny And Cher - The Beat Goes On (Live)Hear that sound? That is the sound of bile. A humor thick enough to cut a prenup, Sonny and Cher do a number. All in fun though.The Monkees - Buy Me a DogJust cheese, pure cheese - but still a great little forgotten pop song that has more pep than purpose.buyDale Hawkins - Ruby Don't Take Your Love to TownA powerful and deranged voice for one of the more personal takes on the effects of war. Incredibly Leonard Nimoy took a stab at this track - for the benefit of everyone I could not produce that version though.buyTrini Lopez - Corazon De MelonHeart of Melon, watermelon.The Five Blobs - The BlobComposed by Burt Bacharach for the

It's been one of those weekends that make NYC seem like a great place to live. Not that it isn't usually - but honestly it's not (more or less). I guess New York is OK. It all kicks off as a birthday party for a friend. We go out to a place called Le Souk (East side above Houston) a tidy little restaurant with a tiny little dance floor. I'll cut to the chase, on this; thanks to the friend for the birthday party and thanks to all the friends who could make it. I had fun despite the venue. My recommendation to any potential customers - don't go. The DJs sucked, dropping beats, dead air, and trainwrecking when ever they played more than one record at a time. The staff were courteous fuck jobs. Three words, one expletive: red velvet fucking rope. Additionally, unbelievably, a table could only be had if you bought a bottle - a bottle of Absolute costs $200 here. The music started off as Mediterranean Inflected House, then dropped it's pretenses and was just House. Sadly, the DJs were not even able to play House wi

The Inaugural OPPI decided I wanted, in addition to the weeklies and monthlies, something more communal to the general world: an homage show for fellow podcasters while it is unlikely that anyone who visits this backward little page would  not know the vastly more popular sites, I'm still rather ignorant of the world so my naivete allows me be ignorant of better sense - even if I know better. This one goes out to John Peel. I want to nominate John Peel as the patron saint of indie music, podcasters, and the overlooked. While Peel never (to my knowledge) had a podcast his singular taste in music, self effacing humor, and influence has left on indelible mark on the music of today.Beginning in the late sixties as a pirate radio broadcaster with his Perfumed Garden show to his death in 2003 he played music that never would have made air time otherwise. Odd and particular tracks, his vast selections always straining for that rare thing of uniqueness. His passion itself often clouded the choices he made since he va

I've discovered that there might be more music I listen to that I want to post then I can. This week showed that while I was using the monthlies as a main drop off of good tracks not all those tracks could meet the mood that the monthlies was originally created for - hence the weeklies. But the weeklies were originally intended to be brief 15 minute episodes that could, by enterprising individuals be combined into a hour long show at the end of the month. The largess when moved from the monthlies has made the weeklie post swell to a once per month proportion. But I like to think that the slate is clean now and ready for a much more stripped down post next week. Is it possible? meh.Thanks to contributers Craig, Leah and Jay. me - Calcutta (by Aphrodite) - compressed remixA lovely song but my adhd screams that it goes on to long. With all the twitch that I have can I even enjoy trance anymore? Page France - Here's a TelephoneExcellent - thanks to Said the Gramophone for thisArcade Fire - Neighborhood (Laika), L

Almost went out to a birthday party, almost went out to a live show at a coffee house, almost went out to the EarFarm gig, and almost went out to a rave. Ana has never gone - so this mix is for her. She still hasn't gone because, as implied above, the almost was the closest realization of the thought to reality. Instead we stayed home and talked all night long. Better than all the other options, if you ask me.But still there is a rhythm inside me that yearns to be expressed in motion and groove on the close perimeter of the bassbin on the dance floor. And so here's the mix.Careful with the speakers on this, some of the levels aren't even so keep aware. Oh, and if you don't like dance music, yeah sorry and pity on you.Track listings:0:00 - 2:59 : Brooklyn Bounce - Bring it Back (svenson gielen rmx)2:56 - 6:56 : Adam Freeland - Live at One Live 6:40 - 9:44 : Nic Fanciulli - Essential Mix Live from Club 9:02 - 12:37 : Meat Katie - Rotten Dot Com12:24 - 13:16 : Diplo - Percolator13:30 - 14:20 : Baby Anne - Freaks

Journal Entry: Week09We're going out to dinner with Ana's folks. Get on the A - whoosh out of Brooklyn .  We get to this little Cuban place in the village and are treated to a hearty eat and drink session as we hear about the modern dance ballet of Carmen. Packing up and heading out into the cold - we are aimed towards the bar Fat Black Pussy Cat. While shooting some pool we've got a multimedia experience courtesy of one of those wide screen LCD bastard intrusion devices bars are so found of now a days. Besides a lot of music I could have lived without I did get to see the video for the Scissor Sister's "I Don't Want to Dance" which is incredibly good and may I suggest YouTubing that particular piece.I take a break and head to the men's room where I find a delightful little CD hanging out waiting for me to help myself. Hail modern distribution techniques! While there are only 3 of 6 tracks that aren't scratched to oblivion, I find at least one of them tolerable and think it significant that I have not thrown
