8:37 PM		Flower-Corsano Duo The Ship That Sailed on Dry Land Flower-Corsano Duo N The Halcyon VHF 2022 Formed in 2005, the duo melds the propane-lit, overdriven drone-ragas of MICHAEL FLOWER (Vibracathedral Orchestra, MV & EE, Sunburned Hand of the Man)’s electrified shahi baaja and the melodically kinetic and free drumming of CHRIS CORSANO (Paul Flaherty, Joe McPhee, Rangda, Bjork). In the years since their debut album The Radiant Mirror (Textile, 2007), they have toured and recorded frequently, expanding their range to include a mind-boggling array of free sound with seamless shifts between tumultuous intensity and blissed-out serenity.
8:54 PM		Reynols Fire Music Part I Reynols N Fire Music Reloaded aufabwegen 2022 From Reynols bandcamp: Fire Music was composed by Reynols in 2002 with fire recordings made at Tigre (Río Capitán) and different locations in Buenos Aires city and around. With some of this material, a CD EP appeared in Japan in 2002 through the Digital Narcis label, however the complete version of this piece remained unreleased for decades. In a recent research the masters of the whole work were found and rescued from the group's archives. So twenty years later, finally the full version of this piece is now ready to see the light on a brand new CD album carefully released by German label Aufabwegen. Fire Music Reloaded stands on the most conceptual side of Reynols' catalogue, along with works such as: 10.000 Chickens Symphony, Whistling Kettle Quartet, Computer Music, Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada or Blank Tapes. In its four parts journey, the group explores a wide range of frequencies coming from fire as the only sound source. A release which pays tribute to the igneous aurality.

Heyo, double duty! Nice start

TWO Esoterica shows in one day?? 😻

Yo Esoterica! So many surprises tonight, fun times!

USS Fun Times!

bon soir y'all

yo, dsm, TAndy, andrew and deirdre! yes double duty:) enjoying myself tho. hope all are well

God Bless Thee USS FunTimes and All Who Sail With Her!⛴

hey jimbeaux! welcome. fasten your seatbelts (though people don't usually wear seatbelts on boats

)

I will buckle up my bright orange lifejacket with built in headrest!

yes, yes, do that!

Yo jimbeaux. https://imdb.com/title/tt0055630

hi, david! is that the passing imdb?

No. Just groan-inducing wordplay.

I'll look into Passing, hadn't heard of it. That song was lovely

:) yodavidbo

yes it is based on the nella larsen book, novel

Hello Sonic Bloom Aura Connection! Tessa Thompson is amazing everywhere, especially as Valkerie the Asgardian!

Ruth Negga was the voice of Poly Styrene in the documentary "I Am a Cliche", which I borrowed from my library via hoopla.

Whaaaaaaat?! A lovely surprise! Hey, Esoterica!

oh cool, was the film good, david?

hi christine!

yes just subbing :)

yo ossy!

illuminate me, os! fantastic, lve tessa

love

Those high guitar notes keep tricking me into thinking it's the height of marquee moon

ahhh, os! captain america. i haven't watched it but i bet she is badass

ha interesting, dsm. i have venus cued up, so coincidence?

Yeah, she's in the Thor series, and she debuted in Thor 3 along with cute Cate Blanchett as Thor's evil sister, Hela!

@DSM, I hear what you mean. Like it could morph into Marquee Moon at any moment...

i love cate! oh i will have to watch. thanks, os!

i see it, too, christine!

Good evening Christine!

It is as good as it can be, considering the dearth of archival film of Poly. It stars, is directed and is narrated by her daughter Celeste Bell.

This is so good.

Cate is so physically immortal like Naomi Campbell, she's scary lol 💛 🔥🍀

https://polystyrenefilm.net/

yes true, about both naomi and cate, os:)

thx, david! on the watch list

hey Dub!

It's good dish-washing music. I better get back to it.

Agreed, Dub! Check out their website:Formed in 2005, the duo melds the propane-lit, overdriven drone-ragas of MICHAEL FLOWER (Vibracathedral Orchestra, MV & EE, Sunburned Hand of the Man)’s electrified shahi baaja and the melodically kinetic and free drumming of CHRIS CORSANO (Paul Flaherty, Joe McPhee, Rangda, Bjork). In the years since their debut album The Radiant Mirror (Textile, 2007), they have toured and recorded frequently, expanding their range to include a mind-boggling array of free s

oops! here is the website: http://www.cor-sano.com/flower/

I'm adding this album to The List. Thanks for playing it, @Eso! 📝

:). Sure thing, Christine!

Happy you are enjoying

yeah this is great, nice find Esoterica!

thanks, dsm. i played their earlier album a couple of months ago, so talented

ambient rain, dishwashing sounds?

I haven’t seen “Passing” yet. I’m reminded of the NAACP chief executive Walter Francis White whose light skin tone enabled him to conduct undercover investigations of lynchings and peonage throughout the 1920’s. He inspired Mat Johnson’s “Incognegro”.

Waterfall rain sounds 🌧🍀

yes sounds like it, but it is actually fire, i think, os

fire, jimbeaux

interesting, david.

💚💛🖤💚💛🖤 Es! 😊

Right back at ya, Os!:)

Yesterday, I saw a community theater production of “Tommy” at the Beth Ohr synagogue in Old Bridge. It was quite good!

wow! not too far

cool!

I was hesitant to go see it because I always thought the Ken Russell movie was an abomination.

maybe the diff was a high cast versus an un-high cast lol, david

yeah the album is genius, the film not so much

Is this the old Fred Neil folk song? The Fabs did a great garage-rock version of it.

One of my gripes about the Ken Russell film: Oliver Reed, Jack Nicholson and Eric Clapton can't sing!

hmm the fred neil came out in 1966. but i don't think it is the same

yes! agreed

i am sure reed was out of his mind...

just watched the brood (cronenberg). reed got arrested for walking in the streets naked on a drunken dare lol

Remember when Reed almost assaulted David Letterman on Late Night?

no i need to see it, is it on youtube?

(i am not sure why i need to see it)

I don't know, but here he is dancing with Gillian Hills in 1959.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Rhr-zPTP250

interesting

MC5 two-chord RIPPER.

Cheers to DJ Anika! Are you in California too? Everyone is apparently. 🤡

Also, rip to Roberta Flack's son(which I never knew at all), Bernard Wright, who's famous for the 80s song "Who Do You Love"

Yes, very sad news!

agreed, love anika. no i am jersey

LL Cool J remixed that for his song "Loungin"

cool!

Great night, Es!!!

Tiziano Popoli ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

thanks, os!!

appreciate you

I was out driving for over an hour when I heard the "Lolita" theme. Who sings "ya ya" on it? Not Sue Lyon?

this track pure insanium

Fun tune this!

agree!

interesting, david. i don't know. maybe?

yes! The music for the film was composed by Nelson Riddle (the main theme was by Bob Harris). The recurring dance number first heard on the radio when Humbert meets Lolita in the garden later became a hit single under the name "Lolita Ya Ya" with Sue Lyon credited with the singing on the single version.

just found it, david

T. REX‼️
