March 22nd Show

I devoted the bulk of this show to a new (at least at the station) live piece from Tony Conrad and Faust. Originally from 1995, the piece was entitled “From The Side Of Man And Womankind” and is off of the album Outside the Dream Syndicate ALIVE. Complete with shredded and bleeding fingers, a brick smashed by a sledgehammer to end the concert, and a near-riot (and no, this is not a Stravinsky reference) by the audience, the sounds are what’s important. Relentless in its intensity, I luckily didn’t receive any calls asking why the same note was played for over ten minutes.

Thanks to all of you who have sent links to tracks for me to play; with the show coming up on Wednesday, I hope to feature some of these. Keep them coming!
