Me, I’m cooking meat, drinking beer and whisky, and listening to Asheville FM.
Right now it’s primordial soup. She just played Slint’s “Good Morning Captain”. Haven’t heard that in a while. Now she’s talking about absynth. A little loose with the language, ladies. Bring it together. MMMmmm, delicious beverages.
new drunks, bardo pond? mazzy star? nice.
And up next is a certain Foul Mouth Jerk’s “THE ON SMASH BROADCAST that i’m looking forward to from 10-12. No idea what the hell it’ gonna be, but i’ll be drunk and satiated.
actually, it was E-40 . But now it’s doug stanhope.
You listening?
No. I tuned in for a minute but I tuned out for various reasons (the stream landed in my iTunes library right above a symphony orchestra rendition of “The Klingon Battle” from the opening sequence of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and then below that is the Greenpeace “Alternative NRG” album (I really need to find my AP stylebook because there has got to be more than just italics and quotation marks out there) and then I have a series of tracks from the various YTMND compilation releases and the Bugg posted his new wave thing which got me thinking about whether or not I should be snarky and post in that thread and what I would post and so I started poking around on youtube and couldn’t find anything I really wanted (well, I did find a decent version of “Pocket Calculator” from Kraftwerk but that’s not really New Wave) and I remembered a great song called “Sample the Dog” from Timbuk 3 - and then I remembered how much I loved Timbuk 3 when I saw them on Austin City Limits and then I found out that someone actually had uploaded that show to a site so I downloaded that and wow, 1989 was a lifetime ago. I am not sure why a 14 year old thought Timbuk 3 was cooler than Eric Johnson but I did and so like I said I downloaded that and while it was on its way I watched an old Carter USM video for “Bloodsport for All” which reminded me why I hate the military and that keyed my brain to what I was listening to this morning, which was an old guy reading from a new novel that has flashbacks to Seattle circa 1942 which is when they began the internment camps and the story had been pretty bad the past few morning but this morning the writing sounded crisp and horrifying and then my oldest son who has decided to run a high fever the night before we take off on a roadtrip half wakes up in a delirium so I have to go make sure he isn’t going to start asking for cake again in his sleep and somewhere in all that I read your post and thought that it was a lyric from Onyx’s “Slam!” which is also not a new wave track.
(Shad what was that song that played after you signed off from your set? It was the saddest damn thing I have ever heard. It made with depressed with grief over losing people that aren’t even dead yet, but just in anticipation of the inevitability.)

not sure, I put it on the auto play list thing, and I was trying to set the alarm and wasn’t paying attention…sorry
I wasn’t really paying attention myself, as I was working on the computer at the same time, I may have imagined different lyrics than what were actually coming through the speakers. Now, looking up what lyrics I thought I heard, I think it was “Joe Hill” but it didn’t seem like a Joan Baez labor union song, so I think I may have been hallucinating as it might have been closer to 1:00 am and I needed to go to sleep.
Yes, I think you are right. There was some other mournful tune just before that one and in my somnambulistic state, I inferred it all as one, long grief opera and went to bed in tears.
