September 27, 2014 | Different Melancholy Song

Her stars Joaquin Phoenix as a broken hearted man in the near future in Los Angeles. In one scene he gets in a crowded elevator and tells his phone to play him a melancholy song. It’s melancholy, really melancholy, but not exactly what Joaquin is looking for. “Play a different melancholy song” Joaquin says. It’s a funny beat but it tells you everything you need to know about Joaquin’s character and the world he lives in. But it got me thinking, we’re living in a world pretty close to joaquin’s. I can’t tell my phone to instantly play me a melancholy song suited to my personal tastes… yet.

For today’s show I used the iTunes Genius Mix to generate playlists using The Breeders “Off You” as the seed. Why don’t you try iTunes or Pandora or Spotify to generate a playlist for you based on one of your favorite melancholy songs and tell me what you came up with.

Today’s show from the vault is a great mix of trip hop, hip hop, drum and bass, indie pop and more! This was the late 90s Unkle, Mix Master Mike, The Invisbl Sktratch Piklz and Goldie were as popular as they were ever going to get. But if that’s not your thing, I’ve also got some Beck, Madonna and Lauryn Hill for you to enjoy. Still not enough? How about some Swans, Björk, and The Beatles? Still not enough for you? Fear not, it’s a freeform show, so you’ll find something you’ll like.

Today’s show from the vault features a very psychedelic mix of music, and psychedelic music you’ve most likely never heard before, unless you happen to be a big fan of the genre like I am. Psychedelic music didn’t stop in the 60s, it just kept on going getting weirder and weirder with each decade.

There’s also some prog rock and experimental folk and electronica and jazz thrown in for good measure. So basically you get a show that goes from Flying Saucer Attack to Motörhead to Thelonious Monk to Steve Martin. Your typical freeform show, basically.

It’s also very serendipitous that this show turned up because today is the day I introduce my buddy Jack to the world of sensory deprivation tanks. We’re going to get our float on and kiss the sky! Well, at least I will, Jack’s on his own journey. I can’t wait to hear what he thought of the experience. If you haven’t floated yet, you really need to try. You can thank me later.

Today’s show from the vault is 3+ hours of freeform, but it’s late 90s, so there’s a lot of psychedelic on today’s show. You may wonder why I played so much psychedelic music during that time but if you lived through that part of the decade you’ll recall that a lot of people we knee-deep in Terence McKenna and Grant Morrison and the internet and Y2K was just around the corner. It was a very trippy time and it’s only gotten weirder since then.

Wow, another psychedelic show! Well, at least part two of my September 12, 1998 show is. I wonder when part 1 will turn up?

If you’re just tuning in, I’ve been slowly digitizing my cassettes from my years deejaying at WMFO to MP3. As long as I’m at it, I thought I’d upload the shows to Mixcloud. It gives me a perverse thrill that these shows get a second life once their liberated from the confines of the analog world. I almost never labeled any of the cassettes and there are at least 15 years worth of shows I have to go through. So who knows when I’ll come across part 1. That’s part of the thrill of digitizing all these cassettes, who knows what’s going to turn up? Will it be a live set from some forgotten gem of a band or will it be an awesome psychedelic mix like today’s show?

One more thing. Hearing me announce the URL to my old GeoCities website made me chuckle. There was a tilda in the URL, for crying out loud!

This is one of those shows I dread because I talked. A lot. And I was probably drunk that night so that means you’ll get to hear way too much inane chatter from your truly. On the other hand, I think me prattling on and on is balanced by a great set of punk, goth rock and pop. You’ll also hear words from Antonin Artaud, William Gibson and Orson Scott Card. If that doesn’t do it for you you’ll also get to hear a live set from my best friend in the whole wide world, Steve Power! You’ll also get to hear a live set from my sound engineer, Aaron Shadwell! Aaron, if you’re out there, look me up! After I get this show out I’ll look for good ol’ Aaron on Facebook.

Today’s show from he vault, while freeform, lacks the narrative cohesion that I usually manage to pull off. Even so, today’s show is terrific. I don’t know where I found the inspiration pair The Beastie Boys with Liz Phair and then segueing to Universal Congress Of but I’m glad I did. Okay, enough back patting, because it’s the music—as always—that carries the show. Does it really take genius to play Fudge Tunnel’s cover of “Sunshine of Your Love” back to back with Slayer’s cover of “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida?” No. It does take, however, a deejay’s OCD-like obsession with music to know that those two songs exist. IN any case, I hope you dig it and can forgive the Charles Hayward and Rich Doyne-Ditmas 20 minute jam.

Hey, I’m in South Bend, Indiana. Hit me up on Twitter at https://twitter.com/josephaleo to clue me in on what to while I’m there besides visiting the Griffon Bookstore and the Fiddler’s Hearth.

See you next week!

I don’t remember much about this night because A) it was 16 years ago and B) I was most likely a couple sheets to the wind. What I do remember is having a lot of fun. The Black Architects came to the studio and made a lot of noise and then did an interview, which made for a lot of laughs. To be honest, I haven’t listened to the interview because I’m sure I said a lot of stupid things. Then again, we all said a lot of stupid things.

You’ll also hear a lot of music from Boston on today’s show. Hullabaloo (another band who have performed on my show), Mary Lou Lord and Sam Black Church. And this being a freeform show we’ll also hear everything from Sonny Sharrock’s sweet jazz guitar, Frank Zappa’s only song worth listening to (unless you like his songs about poop and such) and spoken word from William Gibson, Guillam Apollinnaire and Orson Scott Card. There’s more, of course, but I’ll let you hear that for yourself.
