DJ Jagannath (host) 11:15:02 PM
a good article on this album, worth reading if you like this
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:15:56 PM
Turns out collaging 60 live recordings can work if you're in need for a studio album lol
Ears 11:17:05 PM
Genre: Brain Blast 😂😂
Ossy 11:17:45 PM
ambient dark blast for this after rainy night
Ears 11:17:53 PM
It does sound like the audio of a very twisted movie
Ossy 11:18:24 PM
yeah, like horror and suspense
Ears 11:19:03 PM
Hi Ossy!
TAndy 11:19:25 PM
!Yoooo!!
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:22:04 PM
Hey TAndy hows it going
TAndy 11:23:20 PM
Going much better tonight, hopefully yalls nights are going well DJ & Chat!
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:23:48 PM
Can never be going badly in the WPRB studio
Ears 11:26:16 PM
Nice to meet you, DJ, before the break
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:26:42 PM
You too! Hope you're liking the show so far
Ears 11:28:56 PM
I'm digging the sounds, yes very much!
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:32:54 PM
Glad to hear that! More good stuff to come, slightly different second half though
TAndy 11:34:04 PM
Loving this Locrian
Kelly Nielsen 11:34:18 PM
This Locrian intro is a nice break from the first half hour of noise
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:34:39 PM
Only a temporary respite
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:35:30 PM
This is actually a 15th anniversary re-release, really nice vinyl copy
TAndy 11:37:43 PM
Just added this to my playlist :)
Ossy 11:40:48 PM
Hi ears!
Ears 11:45:18 PM
Hi @Ossy always good to see those googley eyes!
Ears 11:47:53 PM
Together, we have some of our senses!

DJ Jagannath (host) 11:50:06 PM
Cool interview with Kohoutek, named after the comet
TAndy 11:51:17 PM
This RIPS
DJ Jagannath (host) 11:53:58 PM
Funny you say that, this is also a rip of a vinyl-exclusive release, super cool stuff
Ears 11:53:58 PM
Yeah, what that TAndy said
Ears 11:55:12 PM
I remember the comet
Ossy 12:04:11 AM
Ears - total sense!
TAndy 12:09:48 AM
This is crazy good 💙💙💙
Ears 12:11:46 AM
G'night all, closing my phone, but not the radio, thanks @DJ Jagannath!
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:12:35 AM
Anytime! Hope to see you again once I'm back
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:21:44 AM
Fully agree btw TAndy this is better than I remembered lol
TAndy 12:24:53 AM
The Body!! You're pulling all the stops tonight dude, this is your best show yet imo
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:25:51 AM
Lol thanks, appreciate it! Going out with a bang
TAndy 12:26:03 AM
This may be an odd thing to say, but this is unusually "happy" sounding for a Body track. Nothing wrong with that, however.
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:26:28 AM
This whole album is a lot happier sounding yeah
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:26:55 AM
The review on this copy calls it "the grossest pop album ever"
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:28:05 AM
https://www.factmag.com/2016/03/11/the-body-interview/ looks like that's from here
TAndy 12:29:40 AM
Hah! I'll check that interview out rn
TAndy 12:31:13 AM
i dont like how that guitar is laughing at me 😂
TAndy 12:36:46 AM
"Anger built out of love" is a beautiful way to describe their own music, I really appreciate the philosophy and musical approach The Body puts into their music.
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:39:48 AM
I really do need to listen to them more
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:40:20 AM
I think I first heard of them after their collab with Thou
TAndy 12:42:13 AM
I honestly can't say I remember the first track of theirs I've heard. I just heard em once and liked them ever since
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:43:28 AM
I was mostly in online metal circles and they aren't super well known there I'd say
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:43:59 AM
Maybe only sludge
TAndy 12:45:29 AM
I would hesitate to categorize them as a metal band, they have more in common with harsh noise and dark ambient imo. There are some stylistic similarities to darker sludge, but just similarities I hear. They're pretty unique, in other words!
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:46:01 AM
Yeah for sure, that's what I meant that they aren't talked about as a metal band
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:46:18 AM
There's this one band I feel like you'd dig but I'm forgetting the name
TAndy 12:46:37 AM
Aw, I hope you can remember!
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:48:20 AM
Have you listened to mamaleek?
TAndy 12:48:37 AM
Nope!
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:48:42 AM
That's not the band I have in mind but they're great
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:49:17 AM
I like the mourner EP but that's because it's more black metal, the rest is a weird blend of jazz, african and arabic rhythms, noise, god knows what else
TAndy 12:51:00 AM
Sounds right up my alley, I'm adding that and their Diner Coffee release in my bandcamp wishlist for a future listen. The album art strikes me
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:51:13 AM
I gotta say I wasn't a huge fan of diner coffee
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:51:52 AM
or maybe that was vida blue
TAndy 12:51:54 AM
Sounds like I'll need to enhance my state of conscious when I listen to that ;)
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:52:08 AM
I prefer their older stuff, kurdaitcha is great
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:52:22 AM
he never spoke a mumblin word is the ep I had in mind
TAndy 12:52:52 AM
Ooh, thanks for the recs!
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:54:03 AM
Will lyk if I find that other band I was talking about
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:54:30 AM
Oh got it, it's Nothing but the Whole by Emptiness
TAndy 12:55:09 AM
Hmmm, I haven't heard of them. I'll add that to my wishlist too, but I'll probably check some of that out this weekend if I'm in a black metal mood.
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:55:40 AM
They're not really black metal, sorta experimental stuff
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:56:54 AM
Industrial influenced, post metal-ish
TAndy 12:57:05 AM
I just gave a quick skim through the first two tracks and I'm totally getting more experimental and death metal vibes, sounds sick as heck.
TAndy 12:57:34 AM
But thanks for the music tonight, and your show this season! It's been a pleasure getting to tune in every Thursday night, enjoy the rest of your summer! Thank you!
DJ Jagannath (host) 12:57:54 AM
Thanks for being my most regular listener lol!
DJ Jagannath (host) 1:00:52 AM
Hope you have a great summer too!
