Wavelength – Tick Tock… Bong

This show features a ticking clock with occasional chimes. It could have been thirty minutes long but circumstances meant that the recording was interrupted after twenty minutes so the clock chimes eleven, then one, then twelve then six, with one or two odd glitches and a couple of murmuring voices towards the end. It was midnight in Syston, Leicestershire and the microphone was inside the clock which was awarded to Sandra’s grandfather; William Cross who won a stack of individual and team titles with the army and Castleford Harriers and was presented to King George V and Queen Mary in January 1920 after finishing sixth out of a field of 700 in the army cross-country championship. Sandra’s mother came into the room, noticed the microphone and just said “tick tock” before going back upstairs.

Hello GoodBye 15 October 2011: Purling Hiss, The Protagonists of David Gadsdon and Simon Stanley Ward

Simon Stanley Ward is a 24 year old English Country Music singer / songwriter from London, his newly released CD “Myself to Blame” is currently getting rave reviews on the UK’s thriving Americana grapevine.

Protagonists of David Gadsdon is a punchy, mock-bop recitative bunch. They play the spoken characters of David Gadsdon with drums, bass, sax, and detailed odds-and-ends. This is the first ever live performance of Doom Radio, releasing the babblistic world of Reginald Ffolkes, plus a bag of others.

Started as a solo project of the 4-track cassette recordings of Mike Polizze, Purling Hiss have quickly released a string of LPs and EPs on a series of labels, including Chicago’s Permanent Records. Polizze’s music is raw and unedited, the music is free of structure, Polizze values the idea over creating a polished product. Recruiting bassist Kiel Everett and drummer Mike Sneeringer, Purling Hiss is now a live force, and in today’s show we have a live recording of them from the last date on their European tour.

Hooting Yard: The Maintenance of Reservoirs.

The field in which the howler monkeys were recorded is, of course, a very different field from the squelchy, squelchy mud-strewn one in which the jamboree takes place when the Community Pole-Vaulting Collective and the Avant-Colliery Marching Band have crossed the bridge and successfully negotiated their way past the heavily-armed sentries. Drawn exclusively from the ranks of the most sociopathic cadets, the sentries have their own insignia and their own music, buzzed directly into their ears by transmitters which pick up signals from the netherworld.

This episode was recorded on the 17th February 2011. A complete transcript of this episode can be found on Frank Key’s Hooting Yard website. Accompanying Hooting Yard On The Air, the six publications We Were Puny, They Were Vapid, Gravitas, Punctilio, Rectitude & Pippy Bags, Unspeakable Desolation Pouring Down From The Stars, Befuddled By Cormorants , Inpugned By A Peasant And Other Storiesand Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke are available for purchase

Six Pillars – Crossroads of the Ancient World

A personal tour of the British Museum’s major show in 2011 on Afghanistan: Crossroads of the Ancient World. This awesome and massively educative exhibition is brought to us thanks to the amazing bravery of a few men who took care of these objects in great secrecy and at great personal risk at the brink of two decades of civil war, strategic iconoclastic decimation and lawless looting.

Dr. St John Simpson is an archeologist and a curator at The British Museum and speaks here about the exhibition as a whole and Afghanistan’s place on the Silk Road where caravans from from Europe, China, India and Central Asia traveled back and forth. He guides us through the show and discusses details about several of the objects, of which his favourite is the fish-shaped drinking vessel pictured here.

This show was produced by Fari Bradley and originally broadcast May 2011.

We stepped into the IndigO2 in Greenwich as the multi-sensory party Sencity made its UK debut.
