Listen Ability Rating: Born of controversy and extremely good looks this slumdog is waiting to inhabit your ears.

One missing in action. One breath of Maya. One Born free. One Redhead in Distress. One man with a gun. One paranoid driver. One place in the sun.  One unruly Ox. One weilding a bone. One shadowy monolith. One horse thats ok. One naked Zarathustra. One voice in the tunnel. One echo. One man with a horn. One illness. One Pure unending sound. One stillness.

All this adds us to Strange Music in Small Doses.

Dig?

Listen Ability Rating: I'll give this one a seven because it's July and I wanted to finish this in June.

In this oversaturated media whirlwind that we currently survive in, that feeds upon and us and I upon it, I give to you a mix of noise and electricity and the sounds of distant callers wanting to be heard. So go on and listen!

Cut one is from the band Nice Nice, we heard "Pulp" from their album Chrome.

Cut two is from Water Tongue by the artist Aaron Martin.

Cut three is Part III (Excerpt) from Burning Star Core

In the immortal words of our hero, "I have a pain threshold that needs occasional relief..."

Enjoy!

Listen Ability rating higher than usual due to the power of free association. Should be digestible by many ears over widest possible taste range.

Free thinkers unite!

This segment involves the power that is Jennifer Stone emanating from a story she wrote, "Now it is today" Not that anyone would recognize it after the mess I just made on my editing table.

Stay always faithfull on the Slow Boat to China. And please continue to row, row, row your boat merrily down the stream of dreams. Sherriff John Brown is watching from the river so no speeding.

At the far end of our journey the Council of Loathing awaits and Retribution is on their minds.

Enjoy!

Pentagon Shooter Blues

In a twist on the familiar musical form called the blues we journey into the mind of the lone shooter scenario. The voice floating over our intro piece by Isotope 217, "Solaris" off of Utonion Automatic, is one John Patrick Bedell aka " the pentagon shooter".

From the words of our protangonist thru John Zorn's "Great Lobby" from Filmworks 3 and into the "The Bourgeois Blues" by Leadbelly. It was written after Lead Belly went to Washington, D.C. (just like the Pentagon Shooter!) at the request of Alan Lomax, to record a number of songs for the Library of Congress.The song rails against racism, classism, and discrimination in general, with such verses as "The home of the Brave / The land of the Free / I don't wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie".

Amidst all this voyaging one must keep in mind that no matter how difficult things seem, "Don't Ever Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down." Eric Bibb off of Mali to Memphis.

As the light fades on the walk into the unknown, the final facts are revealed and summarized by a statement released by the family,

"We may never know why he made this terrible decision.

One thing is clear though - his actions were caused by an illness and not a defective character."

Peace out.

The rolling sounds of electrifying fetishism bark at our ears. Konono No 1 "Ungudi Wele Wele" They are known to command more respect on international stages than at home. The global audience is ready for this.

In the middle Jegog: The Bamboo Gamelan Of Bali "Tabuh Pengawit: Gending Truntungan" (in case you wanted to know.) I thought this mirrored the exotic sound of Konono's electric thumb pianos quite well if I do day so.

At the end there was a edited version of Bardo Ponds "Cry, Baby, Cry", probably their only Beatles cover but dont take my word for that.

In the middle, the in between spaces, the media seeping into the cracks trying to unravel the false flag for exactly what it is. Make your own conclusions.

Leisure Cairo flies Into Quinto

Listen Ability Rating:      " Depends on what you are looking for?"

Now that spring is upon us I have concocted my second cast of characters . February and the #2 of the number 10 and a milennium.

The track we started with was from Leisure Highs. And it features Blevin Blectum from Blectum from Blechdom & Eugene S. Robinson from Oxbow, LEISURE HIGH is an all-time obsession for all times. INTO QUINTO.

Inkxpotter mix 'The ghost of radios' and echoing thru the early days of its invention. we travel to a place, a theme be it rain on the roof, or a memory of being ill. A house we used to live in , a place we thought we knew and lost in thought, "Every sound is like a little death." repeating as we move thru this dimension...

We then wandered in to a tropical land where the light was low and Harappian Night Recordings gretted us there. Leaving nothing but , "Bare Cairo", for us to sink deep into.

Amidst the samples of Patti Smith, Jennifer Stone, Bleepy Synths, Consciousness Scientists, theories of work by Alain de Botton the author of The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, and the worlds strongest man bending quarters with this teeth, you will find Strange Music...curious to take the journey now?
