Welcome back folks. First Psychic and Powerless in 2019, and sitting in a new spot to boot. Neil Young tunes from Mascis, Valentine, and company, Yo La Tengo’s cover of Nico’s version of “I’ll Keep It With Mine” from one of their Hannukah shows in 2012. It isn’t all covers though. I was off by one day, but we celebrated 50 years of one of the Velvet’s best set at the Boston Tea Party. I also had some live Gunn-Truscinski Duo, and a track from the late Yuzo Iwata.
In the second hour we had some first timers on the show: Stefan Christensen from New Haven, CT. Donkey No No from Western Mass., and Eliane Radigue with microphone feedback and tape loops. Christensen runs C/Site Recordings and does some work that expands upon the framework set down by the good old Dead C, while exploring new avenues of tune(less)ness so I recommend that all of you check this dude out. I know this is running long, but I have to say that this Mark Morgan LP is theeeeee most fucked guitar LP that I’ve heard in a while and you need to go over to Open Mouth and cop it. Peace!
