The calendar has once again arrived on Monday; time for some cephalopod radio!

I almost forgot there are other songs on this record that aren't Bath Boy.

Dine Al Fresco, then proceed to bath. This was the first track I heard from this lp. Jen Redlights i believe

I know, right? As much as I love Bath Boy, I think this might actually be my favorite. It's so earnest but the vibe is so deeply fucked

Been trying to find this song for ages. Thanks. Dan

Happy to be of service, Rob!

Ciccone Toof!

It raises the important question: Will Thurston be a talking head in some future Madonna documentary? (slash has he already been a talking head in a Madonna documentary???)

(Is it even a music documentary if Thurston isn't a talking head in it????)

I see that. They definitely crossed paths back in the NYC scene starting out 40 yrs ago or so

Good risky sample way to go

Totally working with this vibe this morning Dan! 👍

Witch "Zango" lp definitely on the wish list

saw Witch last month. good stuff.

Remember that short short lived interview bit that he did Thurston's Alley? Thurston Moore and interview subject sitting on chaises in an urban alley somewhere in NYC. Quick short questions. I remember Johnny Ramone was one subject.

MEAT PUPPETS COVER!

Oh snap!

Good morning Dan! I can't wait to hear the whole Jamie Branch album. Comes out in full in August, right? My 7 year old son loves "Take Over the World".

Actual title of orig is "Comin' Down" but Jamie and Jason changed title for whatever reason....

Hey Parr! Yeah, it's out August 25. I absolutely preordered the vinyl the second it was announced

Me too! I can't wait!

Heya

Morning TAndy!

Woke up earlier but fell back asleep. The sleep factory in my brain hates consistency this week lol

This Magic Tuber Stringband is great. Liked their last record a whole lot, psyched to check out this one.

Yeah, it's super great! They're a couple of college radio kids. I think both of them DJed at WXDU here in Durham for a while

Nice!

I missed Spiritual Mafiaaaaa 😭

Didn't even recognize that Teke:Teke track as an Unwound cover and "Corpse Pose" is one of the only Unwound songs I know particularly well. Mark of a good cover!

That Alogte Oho ... o yinne... lp is great!

Sounding good, Dan. 🐙 Morning, all!

Hiya Christine!

I love the mood this piece evokes.

Overcoming a large sadness 💙

I'm loving this set. It's beautiful and plaintive at the same time.

Yeah, both those energies feel really central to her music: that close connection between sadness and joy

I feel like it has something to do with all the ways she ornaments her melodies. It contains so much

Or like Chopin with all the emotions turned up

A different approach to emotions than Chopin, more subdued id say. With the existence of Tristesse, I think that's probably the #1 example of raw emotion in this style of music I can think of.

I, appearing in this scene as the uninformed doofus who lacks any kind of musical vocabulary to discuss things like Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, have this to say: This is rad.

Same, Mike

For any pianists out there, sheet music of most of these pieces is available here: https://www.emahoymusicpublisher.com/music-sheets

That's literally the extent of my musical knowledge on this, and I only know of Tristesse because it was covered in an anime soundtrack 🥹

Love this Glitch 💙💙💙💙💙💙

I wanted to play one of the tracks from that album with Armand Hammer or Moor Mother, but the FCC said no

Totally gonna have to play that Shapednoise in my car, no doubt it'll sound insane

Alas, the time....... Thank you for the show, Dan!

Hell yeah to blaring Shapednoise!

Excellent show this morning; thanks Dan! Now it's time to have lunch al fresco, just like Spiritual Mafia intended.

Great show Dan!

Thanks for tuning in, y'all!
