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
Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) 11:04:33 PM
That's a seriously wild and freaky track. Love it!
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:06:03 PM
No better way to start off the set
Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) 11:06:52 PM
💯💯💯
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:08:34 PM
That one was supposed to be a 45 rpm that I spun at 33 because I thought it sounded cooler lol
The Bicklenator 11:15:51 PM
A good noise recommendation: The Locust. Song Armless and overactive of of Safety Second Body last. Trust me :)
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:17:17 PM
Will check it out!
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:17:57 PM
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
The Bicklenator 11:19:31 PM
Never listened to either of them. Gonna check them out later. Maybe get my lazy ass out to a show one day.
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:20:00 PM
When the kite string pops by Acid Bath is one of my favorite albums, incredible start through finish
The Bicklenator 11:21:24 PM
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
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:22:03 PM
appreciate it! speaking of Pelican, they're also playing next week in Brooklyn
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:22:33 PM
Might try and check that out as well, I havent heard their new album yet
The Bicklenator 11:24:36 PM
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.
TAndy 11:26:37 PM
Ooh I LOVE this
The Bicklenator 11:27:25 PM
Reminds me of Lustmord. Which is awesome.
michael gudgeon 11:27:56 PM
yeeeeeeeeeee very volta eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:30:06 PM
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
Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) 11:30:07 PM
Walking the dog while enjoying the noise. 😁
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:31:00 PM
Lustmord is great although I prefer SPK
Ossy 11:31:15 PM
Awesome brilliance
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:31:24 PM
Leichenschrei can't be topped for industrial/noise
Roffled Feathers 11:33:17 PM
Could be the alternate sound track for Tetsuo: The Iron Man. :)
Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) 11:36:41 PM
Feedback par-tay! 😁
Roffled Feathers 11:40:55 PM
I love that you've not heard any of this prior to a day or two. Sounds like a good premise.
TAndy 11:41:09 PM
This is like dark asmr lol
Ossy 11:42:03 PM
Totally
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:42:06 PM
Hey for some parts of these tracks I haven't heard them at all
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:42:42 PM
Like this one
Roffled Feathers 11:42:58 PM
As it should be. lol sometimes at least.
Roffled Feathers 11:45:18 PM
Sounds like parts of Philly.
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:49:38 PM
Lmao my heart goes out to everyone for whom this sounds like a regular day
Roffled Feathers 11:54:36 PM
Big time
The Bicklenator 11:59:37 PM
Is this Lightning Bolt? Sounds just like them
The Bicklenator 12:01:06 AM
Its definitely the drummer. Really digging this
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:06:32 AM
Yup Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt is on drums and voice
The Bicklenator 12:08:04 AM
Great track. What was the name of that again?
The Bicklenator 12:09:23 AM
oh and if you want to kind of noise. Play anything from Merzbrow. Dude is insane.
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:09:25 AM
Everyone Dies (We Won Anyway) Part 2 by Mindflayer
The Bicklenator 12:09:31 AM
*king
The Bicklenator 12:09:37 AM
Thank you
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:10:08 AM
Ive listened to a bit of Merzbow but I prefer some of the other Japanese noise bands
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:10:16 AM
hanatarash and the gerogeringegege
The Bicklenator 12:11:56 AM
i always knew him as one of the originals. Ill definitely check out some newer stuff. Been a while.
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:12:21 AM
yeah merzbow is a classic ofc
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:12:57 AM
hanatarash drove an excavator into the stage (unauthorized) at a show and nearly amputated himself with a chainsaw
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:13:13 AM
but the musics also good lol
The Bicklenator 12:14:24 AM
i just took a slight glance at them online and they already seem insane. Then you say that. Think im gonna like them
TAndy 12:28:56 AM
aaaagh this is so sick
TAndy 12:29:33 AM
this is true midnight music
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:37:57 AM
Glad you like it, Nautical Almanac has a bunch of weird noisy albums like this
Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) 12:47:38 AM
This track is more relaxing than the others. 😁
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:51:59 AM
Ending on a slightly lighter note, yeah
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:53:09 AM
Hope you guys have enjoyed, and tune in next week! got a pretty sweet avant-garde classical set lined up
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:53:29 AM
Might be even less listenable than my usual show
Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) 12:57:09 AM
I was/am a classically trained musician. so I say bring on the avant-garde classical goodies! 😁😎
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:58:07 AM
oh sweet what do you play? I learnt the piano but I've been slacking on practice lately
Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) 12:59:55 AM
I play (or more like played) the piano. We're in the same boat. I haven't practiced for a long time either. 😁
DJ Jagannath (host) 1:02:11 AM
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
