Hey everyone hope you're doing well! Got some noise + adjacent stuff lined up for today, all bands I've never heard of before yesterday so hopefully they're not too bad

That's a seriously wild and freaky track. Love it!

No better way to start off the set

💯💯💯

That one was supposed to be a 45 rpm that I spun at 33 because I thought it sounded cooler lol

A good noise recommendation: The Locust. Song Armless and overactive of of Safety Second Body last. Trust me :)

Will check it out!

On an aside is anyone going to the Acid Bath and Eyehategod show tomorrow? I found out this was happening today and got tickets asap because that's a dream sludge lineup

Never listened to either of them. Gonna check them out later. Maybe get my lazy ass out to a show one day.

When the kite string pops by Acid Bath is one of my favorite albums, incredible start through finish

thanks for the recommendation. Been listening to your show the past month and you always play solid stuff. Always cool to hear stuff like isis and pelican on the radio

appreciate it! speaking of Pelican, they're also playing next week in Brooklyn

Might try and check that out as well, I havent heard their new album yet

damn thats tempting. to go to. Haven't heard the new stuff. I know Tortoise and Boards of Canada got some new stuff comming up as well. Even Deadguy just released a new album.

Ooh I LOVE this

Reminds me of Lustmord. Which is awesome.

yeeeeeeeeeee very volta eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yeah Hamsoken is cool, they're a black metal + noise band, this album has some traditional black metal and then these electronic glitchy tracks that are better than the metal lol

Walking the dog while enjoying the noise. 😁

Lustmord is great although I prefer SPK

Awesome brilliance

Leichenschrei can't be topped for industrial/noise

Could be the alternate sound track for Tetsuo: The Iron Man. :)

Feedback par-tay! 😁

I love that you've not heard any of this prior to a day or two. Sounds like a good premise.

This is like dark asmr lol

Totally

Hey for some parts of these tracks I haven't heard them at all

Like this one

As it should be. lol sometimes at least.

Sounds like parts of Philly.

Lmao my heart goes out to everyone for whom this sounds like a regular day

Big time

Is this Lightning Bolt? Sounds just like them

Its definitely the drummer. Really digging this

Yup Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt is on drums and voice

Great track. What was the name of that again?

oh and if you want to kind of noise. Play anything from Merzbrow. Dude is insane.

Everyone Dies (We Won Anyway) Part 2 by Mindflayer

*king

Thank you

Ive listened to a bit of Merzbow but I prefer some of the other Japanese noise bands

hanatarash and the gerogeringegege

i always knew him as one of the originals. Ill definitely check out some newer stuff. Been a while.

yeah merzbow is a classic ofc

hanatarash drove an excavator into the stage (unauthorized) at a show and nearly amputated himself with a chainsaw

but the musics also good lol

i just took a slight glance at them online and they already seem insane. Then you say that. Think im gonna like them

aaaagh this is so sick

this is true midnight music

Glad you like it, Nautical Almanac has a bunch of weird noisy albums like this

This track is more relaxing than the others. 😁

Ending on a slightly lighter note, yeah

Hope you guys have enjoyed, and tune in next week! got a pretty sweet avant-garde classical set lined up

Might be even less listenable than my usual show

I was/am a classically trained musician. so I say bring on the avant-garde classical goodies! 😁😎

oh sweet what do you play? I learnt the piano but I've been slacking on practice lately

I play (or more like played) the piano. We're in the same boat. I haven't practiced for a long time either. 😁

Haha yeah its rough finding time, I've been getting back into it this summer and learning a new piece, brushing up the old ones
