Chat is archived.

woah.. @_@ this ambience . .

good evening everyone!! <3 hi lucy!! slow start today but i promise itll be good :)

Hey all, glad to be back again. Went to see Mary Halvorson last week. I actually met her. Unfortunately she didn't play. 🤨 She had a string quartet playing her new pieces. Still good but I really wanted to see her. :/

good evening andrew!! aw thats odd.. i would have expected her to shred the guitar.. but i hope at least it was a good time and that meeting her made up for it??

I'll have to go see her again sometime but playing.

how was the new album material??

Anthony Braxton was there but he didn't play either. :/

Much more classically oriented. Not really my style.

anthony braxton!! wow.. honestly surprised she didnt play any guitar though... also andrew some residents may or may not be on the way...

yooooo

Just clicked in. You are always welcome to my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.

big love to dj sheff for the show ofc, i was distracted and forgot to chat!

She talked about her origin story. She went to Wesleyan University to study biology and wound up taking one of Braxton's classes.

I'll be looking out for anything new by The Residents. :D

hii tandy!! oh i bet, glad to hearr the shows have been good today :) and hi richard!! thank you i hope you have a lovely night!! and @andrew wow, speaking of which did you know that braxton's son taught at princeton for a bit if im not mistaken?

I did not. Very cool.

and part of the math rock group battles!

Is it an all cassettes show tonight?

cheap synths inspired yes!! but of course we will be playing around with that to include diverse sets :)

hola rosasolis

omg tyondai braxton i have him as a professor 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

hola rob!! how are you?? are you ready to sing??

awesome guy

and @lucy OMG really?! what class that sounds like an awesome time im jealousss

"Art Rock / Post Rock" we hang out in a big room for 3 hours every week and tyondai braxton shows us music he likes

and there's also composition assignments where we get to do crazy avant bullshit and then present it

girl that sounds like such a great time.. id like to hearr what youve made so far! ^^

there was one we had to do something inspired by krautrock with like found sounds n stuff, and i got chef patti to play guitar on it :3 :3

lovely!! is there a big final class assignment up?

Does he have a favorite band?

yah, just make a big ~5 min piece and present it

I don't actually know, I'll ask next time I see him lolll

soundin good DJ!

big black dice fan, I know

Parshi Vee is punk roke

😺

hii matt!! yes romanian Muzică de mahala~ really good if ur into balkan pop :) and hii dave!! i hoped maybe you could hearr this piece omg :) and @lucy oooh do you have an idea yet for yours?

DTO said it! Great song Rosasolis, reminds me another great wprb show, Sangeet!

hi dave

DJ RUNGUN WITH THE STUNGUN IS ON THE LOOSE

Good evening

carnatic keyboard!

BTW, if there are any Star Wars fans in the chat tonight I want to wish you all a happy Life Day!

stungun 🔫 🎹 and wait whats life day! i feel like i should know what it is

Andrew yes, but I'm only really into Ghoel and dark jedi-ism

LOL Rosasolis he loves that handle

@rosa idrk what I'm gonna do for the final just yet...kinda freaking me out but I've got time to figure it out

You need to have seen The Star Wars Holiday Special to truly understand Life Day. 😅

AndrewNYC check out Jedi Scum (defunct), Oakland powerviolence trio with Ep IV samples

Will do

@lucy if i could help in any way id be happy/honored!! sounds like a nice way to vent creatively tho :) and @andrew oh i havent.. only did the classic 1-6 and thats it :0

https://jediscum.bandcamp.com/album/jedi-scum

@Matt I'm more of a fan of Stovokor, the Klingon band from Sacramento. @Rosasolis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtSX1lg8rE

But be warned, it's a challenge.

AndrewNYC I'm on it! I spent too many weekends in Sacramento at a punk haus gettin in trouble LOL. Sounds rad!

I like the sound of Klingon. I've watched fluent speakers of it. It's a good, mighty, emotive language.

There's a whole documentary on how the Holiday Special happened.

I know our dj Jon S knows the Holiday Special world. That holiday special is the epitome of cringe.

Quirino Do Canto with the space echo! That's a specific type of echo effect that's pretty cool

yes capo verde music that features a lot of those types of synths!! that is part of a lovely compilation one of my faves, i remember seeing it a few years ago at the station when i first started

Heya! Love the theme tonight

I think Lee Perry used Space Echo a lot to birth dub (along with others), but we'd have to have SELECTA JERRRRRRYYYYY verify that.

hii jo!! im glad you think so :)) was in a whimsical mood~ and omg i need to check it out@andrew thank you!! perfect for christmas indeed.. and @matt oh i could see that! amazing how it was used across the atlantic like that

loving all the tapes n the lofi n the wistful synths

wistful enough to make me wanna go to karaoke myself (◠‿◠✿)

Lucy C I agree; I always love when DJs find obscure and wonderful cassettes and j-card scans

j-card scans? :0

the paper insert part of the cassette (shaped like a J, sort of)

and yess ive been trying to collect some more cassettes lately and make use of them!

Hi Rosalina!!!! https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sca_esv=fdcf620e6fdd6b42&udm=2&fbs=AIIjpHxCtmkhHKu27CW9pNYJlh4RjL2XNN7H2eGEwe1vRehTgx2PNlKqSsUGSlpdjHDY7h78dYWNpI-Nc023idAsZIZEu4GqRKI-ruhO8zN_iMD4mDazQH-Z2chiOYQA-D8k7pPDAWmaOT-VF9OhA_yM4yoH9OUm4kvPegceYJ2qvFJeWVAUL04yw9t3vEQSJzKn0OpIFNXjUazAmMJ8l9-yrMNgTKUWy5oXr2V-hHN0tUEMvosDbWY&q=rosalina+mario+galaxy+movie&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjz_OSVzfqQAxVDEFkFHeC4GmUQtKgLegQIExAB&biw=411&bih=750&dpr=1.75

pre-internet we had to pack all the info in the j-card! and send it in da mail!

hii ossy!! how are you on this evening?? :) yes the movie is coming up!! and @matt aw i wish i had done that at least once

wait matt were u a part of like, cassette trading communities n stuff? I'd love to hear more about that

The Residents!!!!

My wife is happy

Lucy C. Yep. There's a great book about it, I think maybe Re Search put out on the cassette underground

Matt, are you throwing sofas tonight?

Lucy C, it really got weird when I got into sending VHS tapes to people. I received some stuff in the mail that'd make grown men cry.

that's rad, & hi rob

Rob MD ALWAYS

glad you and your wife could enjoy this track :) i felt like this album fit in perfectly weirdly enough somehow!

whoa

Hi Lucy and everyone

the vhs underground via USPS was wild, cuz there are some crazy things on VHS and some very twisted people out there LOL

@rosasolis she is very glad you fit it in tonight

Lucy, it's not for everyone, but Trash Humpers kinda nails it re the vhs trade underground https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51OiwHxZLEL._AC_.jpg

omg this record !! i stumbled upon it looking for music for meow mix, didn't find anything meow mixxy enough sadly <3

Yann Tomita has the space age spirit! He's ready for the space age tomorrow (that never arrives)!

@rob i think there are some other favs lined up later hopefully! :) and @lucy maybe when you have a more feline space lounge vibe meow mix hehe or some of his other albums could have something!!

Someone tell poor Yann he's in for some hauntology right quick

nods nods nods

Dave Clegg at the organ! Now Rosasolis that is the perfect j-card! LOL!

Dave sez "lots to singalong to" but no song titles are given! Attaboi Dave!

Dave Clegg needs an editor LOL

oh LOL that was my bad i actually was able to find the information.. took some internet searching!!

I think it's all on Dave Clegg, DJ LOLOLOLOL

this is so good

Rosasolis, I meant on the j-card. Singalong to what? He lists no titles unless it's inside. Just trying to help ol' Dave out.

J-cards were tricky to DIY, but all you have to is copy another cassette's example. Some j-cards got super fancy with 4-panel foldout, lyrics, etc.

@tandy i absolutely love the synths with the drums.. transcendent~ they have some wonderful collab albums :) and @matt omg oh yea! im learning about j-cards now.. id like to try my hand at it

Rosa- so far good, and Rosalina is indeed badass in trailers, as well Captain Marvel's, Brie Larson being her voice!

Rosasolis you would be a pro in no time. It's total DIY, focusing, and good fo' the brain. Do it!

Best j-card I ever saw is Faith No More's Angel Dust (color, multi-panel foldout, lyrics). One time, my buddy Jeff bought a tape at a garage sale and there was a tab of acid in the j-card! With a clown on it. Mystery acid.

People already putting this explosion scene of her on popular trend, LOL https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ04H-CYfGVdb7gyoe3yi-ztZ8F8tnaC0dmYOkAYnO-d6zI0FLddfgX7Jje&s=10

...but the acid had been absorbed INTO the j-card, the tab just gave Jeff a headache

good image Ozz!

Yes!

oh wow i didnt expect people to actually do that loll my ocd would not be able to handle those tapes confidently.. but im excited it reminds me when i tried to make cd cases and art for songs i recorded and downloaded when i was in middle school hehe.. and i didnt know it was her!..

you'll be good at it Rosasolis! You have to fit the j-card into the unyielding tape case, so it's precise

some of the fandom have mixed reviews of brie being rosalina, from her captain marvel controversy and her sounding too mature for the luma princess, even though the latter is 500+ years old haha. Never also knew brie was a huge mario fan, but not shocking!

Also Bowser Jr! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTP1zumwWRTBoH4vYFrUHNYNLM8BIJy7LT3aI7L1WdbGg&s=10

im sure it will all be fine and fun still, based off the images! and ill keep you updated @matt to the progress :)

Rosalina looks so cute in the trailers! she was my fave in Mario kart

hiii em!! ahh my favorite there too

em - yes! I was playing the luma princess in mario kart 8 over the weekend! on the IG trailers of rosalina of that explosion scene, i responded in the comments with paramount shadow the hedgehog wanting to challenge her, hahah

sounds like i showed up just in time

rosa - the movie got mario wonder, sunshine and odyeesy themes in it as well!

this song is amazing

hiii andrewg!! yes this release is always crazyyy i highly recommend :) got me into a filmi rabbit hole.. and @ossy oh i didnt kno that! thats so cute

people also questioning the galaxy movie should be a 3rd movie, as well wanting daisy to appear, which should be later...but yes, sooo cute!!

plus btw, mario sunshine is bowser jr's debut, so 100% fitting in there! I never played the game, though lol

@rosasolis (9:13), the Vijaya Anand was good, and the Yann Tomita following The Residents was good too

same, I felt I heard this somewhere all the time. Cover album kinda giving me elvira, mistress of the dark vibes 🖤

@rob yay!! that yann tomita song and album are so comforting to listen to.. can drift off endlessly.. and @ossy you should def play it! i feel that you would enjoy it

This track is really good! By the way I got to the part of In Search of Lost Time where Proust finds out about sadism!

omg at the end of swann's way with the lesbian lovers right?? i remember that moment.. honestly ignites themes that will be expanded upon in the next two books!!

and yay! i always love the little kate bushism in this track :)

i hope that themes that are expanded upon are: lesbianism

very neccessary (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿) you should read the first volume of in search of lost time too!

diva worship anthem

forever diva worship the precious girl <3

That scene is amazing. Im excited to read the other books. My friend told me that there is one book that is just describing a single party. I kind of feel like I'm getting what I signed up for. I think proust has compared things to flowers for every page for the last 30 pages.

sounds much like it's from New Edition!!

@jo yes im pretty sure theyre referring to guermantes way!! i finished the novels last year but i keep coming back to further explore those long discursions.. i particularly love how specific they can be still, like a long exploration into the beauty of someone who just wakes up as opposed to when they are sleeping.. and @ossy yes i can hearr that!!

Sandii with two i! Tippa! some great personalities tonight dj!

DJ, I will look forward to your j-card! Reason to live!

im excited to show the results in the coming weeks!! :) and yes i agree ive been loving going through all these album covers too

Rosasolis, when I lived in Oakland I also made up band names (fake) and made show fliers which I printed and put at the punk venue I frequented. The hipsters got very confused. I have made j- cards for nonexistent bands, like Wounded Sleeping Bag. Lol! I'm a fucker. Jk. I think you'll get into the creativity of diy j-cards!

@Matt S, that's hilarious, making up band names and printing fliers!!

Rob MD LOL! My buddy would just laugh when I pulled shit like that. I shoulda kept some, maybe in the archives somewhere. I shouldnt give our kind & diligent dj any ideas for culture-jamming LOL

@rosasolis, we have enjoyed your show, ty. Good night all!

Matt S, you should have kept some. And written a show review for MRR!

goodnight rob!! happy synthy dreams!! :) and @matt loll i love the idea of nonexistent band promos, honestly would be very funny to explore nowadays again :)

Rob MD I interviewed for MRR editor but didn't git it LOL. Maybe for the da best. I am an unreliable narrator LOLOLOL

Quite a cover of that Lobo song :-)

isn't there a Stanislaw Lem (polish scifi genius) book where he reviews books that dont exist?

@Matt, too bad but good, as you said

Alright, byeee

@rob i thought youd like it!! and ahh i love the sound of that; it also sounds quite borgesian

take care Rob MD & co

the guitar is bigger than the girl! Adorable.

I love when diminutive people play big instruments. Git it!

it does make for some lovely album covers!! i feel like we need more keyboards..

Arthur Nakane! The one-person band!!

Just watched Edward Yang's A Brighter Summer Day and this reminds me of the band doing American songs

Drummer. Keyboardist. Guitarist. Singer. Plus cymbals & tambourine .

good evening kelly!! ah thats such a beautiful one.. thats a wonderful observation im reminded of that now :) did you watch it in theaters just now? and @matt we all need to aspire to such ambition..

no one ever phrases it this way, but the mighty nine inch nails is a one-man band! Ministry too. At least on record. Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, another one person band.

Good evening :) Watched it at home. Would have been gorgeous on a big screen

Feminazgul, one-person band. She is bonkers. Gnaw Their Tongues is just one dutch dude. We need a one-person band show.

i havent been able to watch it on the big screen but i remember lincoln center had a retrospective of edward yangs films earlier this year i think!! hopefully there will be more opportunities soon :) now i really want to catch it again.. have you seen his others @kelly? and @matt gnaw their tongues!! that band always scares me but is perfect for halloweeen season..

Went on a bit of Yang bender and watched Yi Yi, as well. I loved that one maybe just a bit more

this smells pop star lively and sparkling like music twin cailyn girlflop/socksflop!

@kelly i definitely agree that yi yi is probably his most accomplished; it lingers in a way that even surpasses his others, but i do recommend also terrorizers! slightly different type of approach; and @ossy yes i got this from sara's squeakosity actually!

Tanks for the show dj!

Terrorizers looks amazing! Need to track it down immediately :)

Rosa- ahh and awww so squeakosity best friend rubbery cute!!

o_O this is some freak shit O_o luv

meeting sara was so squeaking rubber cool!

Oyyyyyyyyyy

hii jimboo!! and lucy this album is amazing its like laika and north african noise electronica.. and @kelly yes let me know what you think of it :) and @ossy yes miss her programming! and @matt we still have room for one more i think!

playing ocarina of time to this!!!

ty for the show!!

Incredible show again. Thank you DJ rosasolis

thank you everyone!! have a blessed week!! <3
