Good morning everyone welcome back to the Untranslatable! Got a bunch of cool jazz fusion with metal and noise today

I'm ready to squawk the 🎷, good morning DJ Jagannath!

Morning TAndy! How's it going

Good morning DJ Jagannath! And hi again TAndy!

Morning Rob

I'm really happy to be here after missing last week's show due to a skewed sleep cycle.

Heya Rob :)

Always happy to have you, hope that sleep schedule is doing better

Last week was very translatable so you didn't miss a ton

😺

Morning Dave how's it going

Good morning Dave!

@DJ Jag It's all good now. Crazy how a 90 minute nap last Sunday translated to not feeling tired till 3am haha

Glad to hear that

enjoying the show, good morning

Thanks! I found a lot of cool stuff planning for this, there's a surprising number of bands out there that do jazz influenced metal (including a whole lot of John Zorn projects)

It’s a beautiful thing - the more you dig, the more you realize how much more there is to discover

I think my favorite discovery (although I'm not playing them) is the existence of a goregrind/free jazz band called Gorenette Coleman

This is my favorite piece of the show so far rn

Next one is even better and actually inspired this show! They're both Polish jazz/ post rock bands that are super cool

I just looked up that Coleman thing you mentioned, is it the album with the actual dead person on the cover? I love how the one tag for the album says "extremely hard bop" haha

It is, that's where the gore part of it comes in! They love their horrible covers

Sick

I also lied, THIS is my favorite piece of the show.

Yes! Love it👍 morning, all!

We're not even at the best part of this song yet TAndy

Morning Ears!

Hey Ears!

well this song is moody and rad as hell

It sure is Norman, they blend so many genres so well

Also a live album! Doesn't really sound like it

yeah i'll def check that album out

Yooo

🤘

Figured I'd kick off the metal section with a bang

That was a sick avant-death metal band from Russia

I just body slammed my desk

This is sick af. Good morning Mok!

Hope the desk is alright

This band 16-17 is one of the bigger names in industrial and noise jazz

that was an intense, noisy treat...wouldn't have guessed that was from the 90s

Definitely ahead of their time, they were founded in the 83 actually

Thanks for the show! It was a blast

Of course (although there's still another hour!)

OMG 21st Century Schizoid Man is PERFECT for this treatment!!

Right? It's crazy enough already but Shining here take it to another level

Yesterday afternoon Robin/Something Else played a quiet mutant version of King Crimson's Moonchild, now this morning a noisy mutant version of 21st Cent. Schiz. Man and they are both from the same album!

*originally from the same album

Oh my gosh I keep forgetting it goes till 10 LOL. Sunday schedule still fresh in the mind for some reason

But I do have to start running some errands though, keeping it locked on FM though

Haha no worries

@Rob testament to a great album that it can be covered in so many different ways

@DJ Jagannath, absolutely!

I'm going to leave the beautiful peaceful melodies of your show ;-) and walk outside where there are noisy crows and loudly squawking jays and attack sparrows foraging in the bushes

Those birds wish they could make noise this good, have fun and thanks for tuning in!

The do wish that. My wife is now listening, she likes this kind of music even more than I do. Byeee
