It's been an incredibly long week as election results continue to be tabulated and although it's becoming more likely that the result will reflect a candidate that I prefer, I decided several days ago to forgo the undue pressure of producing a new show in favor of releasing several 'vault' gems this week.
I'll begin on Friday, November 6th with TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES #83, originally broadcast on September 19, 2014 on SFCR/KUSF-In-Exile and featuring a variety of music from PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE, JACKIE GLEASON ORCHESTRA, KRAFTWERK, THE BEATLES, SPIRIT (their song 'Taurus' which was the center of the Led Zeppelin lawsuit), and new (at the time) music from PERE UBU, KEN NORDINE, JAGWAR MA, and much more.
On Sunday November 8th I'll retrieve TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVE # 27, my long ago archived 'Character Study' on the life and music of ROBERT FRIPP & KING CRIMSON, which initially aired on August 27, 2013 on SFCR. There will be several live recordings heard of the band including a rendition of 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' recorded in 1969 at Fillmore West.
Then on Tuesday, November 10 I'll unwrap an early gift and play TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES #149, my 'Best Of 2015' show, originally broadcast on December 25, 2015. Among my fav's that year were releases from WILCO, LAURIE ANDERSON, CALEXICO, DENGUE FEVER, and SUFJAN STEVENS.
So there's plenty of archived material to keep everyone happy. I'll get to work on another sparkling new program for release next week.
Here's the shows original notes:
The Czech band Plastic People of the Universe begins this week’s festivities with a song from the album Hovezi Porazka (Translation: “The Defeat of Bovine Animals”) and the program finishes with the song “L’Amour Perdu (Translation: “Lost Love”) by Neil Innes.
In between, nearly three hours of musical twists and turns with a few references to “space,” some orchestral based pieces from The Beatles (“Sea of Time”), Spirit (“Taurus”), and Patti Smith (“Fuji-San”); plus more NEW material from Pere Ubu, Ken Nordine, The Electric Wurms, Junip, and Jagwar Ma.
You’ll also hear from Jackie Gleason, Laurie Anderson, Syd Barrett, Kraftwerk, Etran Finatawa, Stereolab, Buck Owens, Muhal Richard Abrams, and Bernie Krause.
I’ve cooked up another “hodgepodge” of music for your enjoyment today and hope you’ll like it.
