Hey everyone! Welcome back to Uncountable Measures

I'll be here for the first hour and half - interesting show lined up, I think

Torture us with Negativland

Hey!

Hi Jagannath and TAndy!

classic Negativland album!

Hey Rob, TAndy, and Matt!

Yo excited for this show! Hey everyone :)

This next track is 30 mins long, just as a heads up

Leng T'che, or Death by a Thousand Cuts

Hey Kelly, hows it going

It's going great, thanks. How are you?

Not bad, feeling a little sick lately but I should get over that soon hopefully. And getting away from Jersey weather shortly

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTli0NvsZstL2R5MHizK8aiZ1oh7Wd2ThU6HQ_mPeABBA&s=10

30 minutes of NC! Love it

Hi Mathy and Kelly!

@Mathy, at least that dude isn't throwing sofas

lol Zorn's solos in here actually do sound like someone getting tortured

Hi Rob! Sorry to hear you're sick, DJ Jaganath. I've been trying to kick a cold for a week now.

@Jagannath, we hope you feel better soon!

Bummer, Kelly. Hopefully you'll be better soon too!

Ty Rob and Kelly. I guess I had it coming, i've not been sick for more than a year, now

I've begun feeling like I play too much John Zorn. He does have something that fits everything, unfortunately

Jagannath, you can never play too much John Zorn

Where will you be going to get away from Jersey weather, if you don't mind my asking?

That's reassuring thank you

California! Will not be around for next week's show, sadly

Nice! What part of California?

Bay Area for a few days, then LA

Haha! That's my itinerary later this year when I visit too

More of a professional trip, in a way

Sounds nice!

Yeah, I'm looking forward

Do you know about KALX (Berkeley) and KSPC (Pomona/Claremont)?

I've heard of KALX, not KSPC. Would be cool to check it out

Great idea actually I will try and do that, if they allow me

can never have too much Zorn

good to know. this isn't usual john zorn, anyway

John Zorn but he's actively dying

KCSB is one of the better college stations, too

Out of UC Santa Barbara

unsure if we're making it there, but good to know! I haven't listened to much other than WPRB

wikipedia says that John Zorn is still alive ;-)

he does a great dying impression

Rob Lol

ah the mighty Chat Pile https://dungeonearth.bandcamp.com/album/blood-at-night

I dont think I've seen that release

I love the grease and scum residue after listening to Chat Pile.

Gnaw Their Tongues! One lone dutch madman

so good

peak black metal + noise

I love their song titles. The sewer rats of calcutta is so hyperspecific it's hilarious

"gleefully wearing someone else's skin" That sentence made me day

https://occ-0-8407-2219.1.nflxso.net/dnm/api/v6/6AYY37jfdO6hpXcMjf9Yu5cnmO0/AAAABWeWCSQrojIBvKPgo2mWTfd9AzAWTGfWBosZANHArgFRthZPRd8lkg4JVW0389xxBI4eHCRu6x1BP0R1zqvAuBmJlsg-O9XdErTO.jpg?r=28a

i'm the one having to say this with a straight face here

Haaaaaaaaaaa!! Well-handled, DJ

I imagine it would be cool, though. Gotta run the wprb skin coat

double up on the skin

Love the brutality of yer set. Refreshing. Great theme too LOL

Ty! Great genre to find stuff with this theme

On a related note, a lot of stuff about serial killers as well. Potential show sometime?

that'd be dope! Acid Bath has a JW Gacy album cover

uh oh it's Lars Ulrich's St Anger snare drum!.

Is that what it is? I was trying to place it lol

Is that what that is, Mathy? It makes it sound like a carnival

I love that snare in that case, that's neat

torture carnival (sounds like a Zorn song!)

there's a lot of carnivalesque black metal out there as well

Thanks for this show and have a great week away!

Thanks Rob! Hope you've enjoyed my picks

It was not torture to listen to your picks 😇

will try harder next time, then

best torture sesh I've had in awhile, thank ye, DJ

Great show! Enjoy California! The weather has been decidedly not Jersey

Hello turshu!

Hey Rob! happy to see ya

Big love to Jagannath, hey Turshu! Winding down for the night now, this couldn't be more perfect rn.

tandyyy! much love, glad to be of service w some jazz

Really loving this!

Kelly! how are u! glad you're enjoying :)

very cool splitting the show in two phases, soundin great

Sometimes you gotta suffer (the Nile was my fav) before you arrive at jazzier pastures

hey matt hehe so true tandy

post-torture jazz

Dertli Dolap means troubled wardrobe?

Exactly exactly

Troubled is a better word

Actually actually, the translation should be "troubled watermill"

thx! I was getting the mis-translation off Google Translate

"Dolap" is a word that could mean many different things like a cabinet or a wardrobe, as well as something that is a continuous circular motion, like a watermill.

So, it is kind of used to refer to the circularity or endlessness of the trouble

i gotchu rob :))

Thx again! I now see "water-wheel" waaaay down the list of poss. translations of dolap. And trouble can be very circular

I love the outdoor noises in the background of "Dertli Dolap"

Me too, me too, that's what I love the most about it... the chickens, either the hunting gunshots or gas explosions in the forest in the back etc etc

@turshu, we have enjoyed your show tonight, ty for the post-torture music! Good night & until the next time

thanks for tuning in Rob :) see you next week and have a good night!

I have been clicked in all day. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you are having a great show. I love what you have been doing.

Richard happy to see ya! hope you were enjoying the jazz
