February continues to amaze & delight...

Sunday, February 12th

BRILLIANT COLORS - Inspired by post-punk fervor, the spiky pop of C86 & early Flying Nun/Creation label output, the ladies of San Francisco’s Brilliant Colors (on the esteemed Slumberland Records label) spiked their punk-pop swirl with their own special grit.
POTTY MOUTH - Four Western Mass grrrls named after a Bratmobile album. What's not to like?!
SPEEDY ORTIZ - Step into the time machine & travel back to the lo-fi '90s. Boston Music calls them "a defeatist Helium or a sunburnt Pixies" - we approve.
BABY BARNYARD - Amanda will charm you with some psychedelic dream-pop straight out of David Lynch.

8pm, $7, all ages

Apologies for the extended absence, friends. I got back to Western Mass from Texas last week only to find out that the show was getting pre-empted, but things should be back to normal this upcoming Tuesday (complete with stacks & stacks of new records to play).

Also on the horizon next week: A show at Flywheel that should likely be totally bananas.

Friday, January 13th
8pm, $6, all ages
Flywheel Arts Collective, 43 Main Street, Easthampton, MA

MISSING DATA - First show with totally new songs & a new lineup! Local noisy indie guitar rock for flipping through the SST Records back catalog (let's start with Flip Your Wig to Sister).
RADIO CONTROL - Two person punk rock pop band from Somerville, MA. Sort of like the Ramones meets Beat Happening, with a lot of sugar consumed.
THICK SHAKES - Farfisa-drenched, Nuggets-worshipping garage rock by way of Boston. Billy Childish would be proud.
THE FANTASIES - Western Mass psychedelic surf-pop.

Expressway To Yr Skull! 12.20.11

2011-12-21T12:03:00.006-05:00

Last show of the year, because next week I'll be in Houston for my annual record buying & Vietnamese food eating binge.

Every Time I Close My Eyes (a 2011 mix)

2011-12-20T00:12:00.008-05:00

I'm really not at all into making arbitrarily ranked "best of the year" lists, but I do like making mixes. I was trading some mixes this month with a guy in Spain who suggested we each compile some of our favorite songs from 2011 & I figured sharing it here would be a good way to give props to some of the better records I bought this year without having to go all-out nerd with a strategically structured list of my top whatever. And this is far from exhaustive, because there were plenty of 2011 records that I was into that I couldn't make room for on an eighty minute-long mix (maybe I'll do a second installment with Comet Gain, Bunny's A Swine, Weekend, Rank/Xerox, Wax Idols, etc etc). Download link below the tracklisting.

This show will knock yr socks off - if you're in Western Mass & skip this one, shame on you!

Monday, October 17th

GRASS WIDOW - A trio of San Francisco ladies updating the '70s post-punk sounds of the Raincoats & Kleenex for the twenty-first century. Three-part harmonies, off-kilter rhythms & the influence of the modern lo-fi underground make pure magic.

COASTING - NYC all-lady guitar/drums duo featuring a member of Vivian Girls & mining a similar territory of fuzzy noise-pop with '60s girl group-influenced harmonies.

A TROOP OF ECHOES - Experimental avant-rock from Providence, Rhode Island. Muscular bass. Agile saxophone. Propulsive drums. Lithe guitar. The brutal meets the beautiful.

OUTDATES - Hard pop from Holyoke, continuing the sonic tradition of late '70s punk & early-to-mid '80s hardcore.

Flywheel Arts Collective, 43 Main Street, Easthampton, MA
8pm, $10, all ages

Dave Murray is never going to forgive me for forgetting to play his request for Billy Childish!

And fortunately, no audio for this show, because I received a DMCA complaint (regarding what exactly, I'm not told) & have been forced to remove the files. A first for me, really.

THE IN OUT - Dark, jagged post-punk that will make you swear that Mark E. Smith moved the Fall to Boston & changed their name to the In Out.

Amazing show on Monday! Don't miss the Whines - I played them during tonight's radio show if you need to hear for yourself. Hint hint.

Monday, May 23
Flywheel Arts Collective
43 Main Street
Easthampton, MA
7:30pm, $6

THE WHINES
Reverb-soaked noise-pop from Portland, Oregon. Points of reference: '60s rock n' roll, Velvet Underground-style twang & throb, the cassette hiss of home tapers & the contemporary lo-fi underground.

SORE EROS
Ethereal indie-pop holding hands with woozy psychedelia.

GRACEFULLY AGING HIPPY SOLOISTS
Formerly known as Fields of Gaffney. Featuring members of Sebadoh, Claudia Malibu & Free Press.

GIMLET SLIP
Stripped down, all-female Western Mass punk.

THE FANTASIES
Northampton psychedelic space surf duo.

I was asked by the esteemed Otto Fritz to play a song that would conjure the image of a giant bratwurst dancing while covered in glitter, which I never got around to doing because I was quite honestly at a total loss. Sorry, dude.

Back from a lacrosse broadcast-imposed hiatus last week. Jocks vs. nerds.

Speaking of nerds, I'm going to be doing a DJ set at the WMUA Spring Vinyl Fair this Saturday starting at 2pm, but feel free to come earlier & get elbowed in the ribs by people frantically digging through boxes of singles.

Ain't No Hangman Gonna Put A Rope Around Me (a mix of non-American musicians covering songs by Americans)

2011-03-06T17:21:00.006-05:00

I just got word that there's going to be a basketball game broadcast during my radio show this week, so rather than make you go two weeks without some kind of musical offering here, I'm posting another mix that was commissioned for me to make during WMUA's annual fund drive back in November. This one was for long-time listener Barry (check out the Cramps-esque mix that I made for him last year), who requested a mix of non-American artists doing songs originally by Americans. His only caveat was that there be absolutely no Burt Bacharach included in any capacity. Tally ho! Download link below the tracklisting.

I'm the Queen of Rock & Roll (a chronology of riot grrrl mix)

2011-02-14T21:39:00.006-05:00

I've finally gotten around to uploading the custom-commissioned mixes I made in exchange for some generous donations during my show for WMUA's annual fund drive back in November. All-around swell dude Dave Murray requested a mix detailing the evolution of riot grrrl & I was more than happy to oblige.

No show yesterday because I opted to stay in my apartment drinking tea & getting caught up on library school homework rather than try to make my way to the radio station in a blizzard. Decisions! Western Mass, here is advance notice of your location next Thursday...

Thursday, February 10th

THANK YOU - Baltimore trio dipping into the vocabularies of Krautrock, post-punk, no-wave, and noise. "Thank You are carving out a new sound drawing inspiration from the innovative post-punk of This Heat and Swell Maps and the polyrhythmic attack of The Ex and Dog Faced Hermans" - Thrill Jockey Records.

DECEIVERS - Northampton boys mining the golden era of SST Records, re-imagined under a shoegazing wall of noise.

TARP - Josh & Conrad bring you synths! Synths! Synths!

LEGENDARY HEADACHES - Math-addiction from Palmer.

8pm, $8, all ages

I said that "Avalanche" by Leonard Cohen was a downer of a song, but a caller insisted that he doesn't agree with that - who knew?

Expressway To Yr Skull! 12.13.10 (bonus round)

2010-12-14T12:16:00.000-05:00

Not technically an Expressway To Yr Skull show, but I filled in for Ken's Wiggly World show this week & since there won't be any Expressway action for the next two weeks (getting bumped off the air by a hockey game next week & then I'm in Texas for a week), I decided to just record this one & throw it on here. Bonus round. Apologies are also due for playing the Fresh & Onlys song at the wrong speed for about thirty seconds.

I had company for this show! Jennifer has been hanging out the past few weeks while she trains to be a DJ & she played a few songs for your enjoyment. Also, this Saturday, there's a swell evening of electronic & improv wizardry at our beloved Flywheel:

Saturday, December 4th

HELL HOARSE - Hybrid analog/digital performance-oriented duo of Brendan Murray & Chuck Bettis (Metamatics, Measles Mumps Rubella). Real-time electronic processing of voices, synthesizers & whatever comes their way.
SYLPHID - Entirely impromptu, glimmering flurry of sounds. There is twinkling, melting & crackling. Sometimes they build loops & sometimes they sing harmonies.
LOLFM - Western Massachusetts electrodelic audio-warriors!
MIDI BAND - Three young men who live & work together decided to try using ordinary MIDI control codes to create a harmonious sound.
MERENE

8pm, $6, all ages

This weekend is Popfest New England at the Elevens in Northampton! I'll be spinning records on Saturday night from 7:45-8:30pm (and possibly at the end of the night, too) - but the real reason you should come out that night is to see Swimsuit, Brown Recluse & 14 Iced Bears! The Sunday matinee with Weed Hounds & Sweet Bulbs should be particularly great, as well.

Eternal Summers were great last week at Flywheel & totally worth missing my radio show (go see them!). Next week is WMUA's annual fund drive & I'll be making the same offer this year that I did last year - if you call during my show & donate any amount of money at all to WMUA (five bucks, fifty bucks, five hundred bucks), I'll make you a custom mix CD based around any theme of your choosing. Strictly English & Scottish pop from the 1980s? A female-fronted post-punk mix? All covers? Best of break-up songs? Whatever you want. I'll be your personal jukebox & all you have to do is support the very worthy cause of free-form, non-profit college radio. College radio saved my life (or ruined it, depending on how you look at things) & if you can relate, you'll understand that donating a couple of bucks now is well worth the smug self-satisfaction you'll get from your college radio education throughout the year. You have a week to think up a killer mix theme for me to compile, so start brainstorming now!

I usually think it's kind of lame to play two songs by the same band in the course of one show, but the second caller who requested Sonic Youth was too nice to reject. Don't make a habit of it, though.

Apologies to anyone distressed by my radio absence last week, but I got last-minute notice that the powers-that-be were kicking us out of the studio yet again for building repairs. Thank you to the anonymous resident of State Street in Northampton, Massachusetts for throwing out the "Burlesque Uncensored" LP (sans sleeve, but you are forgiven) in your free pile of records on the side of the road, which just happened to be on my way to the radio station. Apologies to the Afghan Whigs for my thinking that I disliked you for so many years - I just wish all your records were as great as Gentlemen & then maybe I wouldn't have slept on that one for so long. Love to KTRU for continuing to fight the good fight & for introducing my teenage ears to a ridiculous amount of the stuff I played tonight.

No streaming/download for this show, I'm afraid. I couldn't find a single blank CDR in the studio on which to record this show, although I did find plenty of unmarked discs that all had about four minutes of data recorded onto them. Thanks, guys. However, given the news I received while in the middle of doing the show, I'm considering my not posting the show here as a silent protest of sorts. What exactly do I mean by that? Keep reading.

Word reached me that KTRU, the Rice University college radio station that I grew up listening to as a shy misfit kid on the fringes of Houston, is being sold so that the frequency can be used for an NPR-lite classical station operated by the University of Houston (where I attended college for two years before defecting to New England). With no exaggeration, KTRU saved my life & I wouldn't be doing this radio show at WMUA if KTRU hadn't turned me on to all sorts of weird, wonderful, unconventional music that I never would have had the opportunity to otherwise hear in the suburban wasteland where I spent my formative years (this is no secret; I've previously sung KTRU's praises on this blog). My record collection would be drastically different (or non-existent) if it hadn't been for KTRU - the list of bands I was turned onto as a result of the stacks upon stacks of ninety-minute tapes I recorded of KTRU shows at 3am every night circa 1996 via a boombox in my bedroom is mind-boggling (Seam, Chavez, Silkworm, Helium, Polvo, Stereolab, Sebadoh, Bedhead - it's like an indie rock who's-who for the Bill Clinton era). People have tried to soften the blow of the news of the sale by pointing out that KTRU would still be able to broadcast as an online radio station, but the serendipity of some weird kid on the outskirts of Houston catching some strange Phillip Glass piece or Texas punk block featuring The Dicks & Really Red just by randomly flipping through the radio dial can't be understated.

So for any of y'all who have ever listened to one of my radio shows, either through this blog or over the airwaves, or hell, listened to ANY college radio show period, PLEASE take a minute of your time to visit this website or the official KTRU site & sign the online petition that is linked on both of them, protesting the actions of the Rice administration in valuing financial gain over upholding the legacy of KTRU as a beacon for all music beautiful & bizarre. Even if you've never been lucky enough to actually listen to KTRU (which I'm guessing most of you haven't), voice your support for college radio!

WMUA's getting temporarily kicked out of their studios next week while they do something or other to the building, so it's going to be all automated programming - hence, no show for me on Tuesday. Back in action the following week...

I'm skipping out on the radio show next Tuesday because I'll be staffing a really swell show at Flywheel that night - come out if you're so inclined & while you're at it, check out the noise-pop delight of a show there on Thursday, too. I'll be doing a fill in for WMUA's Wiggly World program on Monday from 8-10pm EST, so give it a listen & your Tuesday night won't feel so lonely.

International Pop Underground

2010-05-15T10:44:00.006-04:00

Hey pop-kids, there's a show in Northampton next weekend that you probably don't want to miss. It's an international indie-pop explosion, with three (count 'em, three) bands coming over from the UK (Old England) & three bands from closer to home (New England), all for the ridiculously low price of $3.

Sunday, May 23rd
Allo Darlin' (including a member of Tender Trap!)
The Smittens
Moustache of Insanity
Hearts!Attack
Friends of Yours
Sitting Next To Brian
8pm or thereabouts, at the Elevens (140 Pleasant Street, Northampton, MA), 21+ y'all

Don't make me tell you twice.
