Hello GoodBye Show 24 March 2012: Booze and One Unique Signal

Performing live in session on the show this afternoon we have both Booze and One Unique Signal.

Booze:
A supergroup no less of Demian Castellenos of previous guests on the Hello GoodBye Show, The Oscillation and Milo Smee of psychedelic space orchestra Chrome Hoof, who paired up to form the wonderfully named Booze to record their sparse, bass-driven debut LP 1/2 for All Time Low Recordings while on break from their main projects. The music is hypnotic and minimal and has just been taken out of the studio for their first live tour.

One Unique Signal:
Making their live debut on Resonance FM, One Unique Signal have been wowing the kids with their guitar noise attack for a couple of years now. With an album and EP to their name, they are repetitive, loud and well strung out, or as described by head Head Julian Cope: “the many headed mole that is One Unique Signal wears a German helmet surmounted by an all-weather arc light, kevlar’n’steel shoulder epaulets and close fitting drainage boots, his weapon-of-choice is the archaic-but-reliable Binson Echoplex, his totem is the gatefold inner of ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES (molto guitars’n’loco drone), and his sparse Inner Soundtrack appears to have been informed by a simply repeated diet of HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN GRILL-period Hawkwind, the aforemenched Loop and plenny plenny Spacemen Three.” — Julian Cope, Head Heritage Album of the Month

Art Monthly Talk Show 9th March 2012

Private Moments

Morgan Quaintance makes the case for imaginative engagement as a form of participation

Discussion around particpatory art has missed one important category of engagement. Where is the analysis of artists – such as Manon de Boer and Marjolijn Dijkman – who purposefully cue up and then direct the individual viewer’s imagination?

‘Since the 1960s a real devaluation of the individual subject has seen the position of the communal and societal group as the rightful addressee of participatory art ossify.’  From the feature by Private Moments Morgan Quaintance in issue 354 March 2012  Art Monthly

The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.

Previous episodes are available on Art Monthly’s website www.artmonthly.co.uk/events.htm

OST 13.03.2010 – Bill Brewster’s DJ History Special

Soundtracks, library and televisual soundtrack-type shenanigans with Jonny Trunk. Today’s archive podcast is yet another show from 2010, when your host was joined by author, DJ, and crate-digging authority Bill Brewster. Co-founder of the highly influential ‘DJ History’ website, which started as a simple DJ and music forum and then mutated and grown into a publisher, label and reference point for legions of ‘clued-up DJs, record collectors and unshaven misanthropes’. Something tells me the average OST listener would fit right in!

Hooting Yard: My Inner Glove Compartment.

I thought I was getting on quite well, and was certainly showing no signs of delirium or derangement or discontent. Then I happened to mention the business to a colleague, who suggested that it was perhaps the contents of the inner glove compartment, the stuff I had crammed into it, with which I needed to get in touch. This was a revelation which necessitated a further round of metal tapping machine messages. From the responses I received I was able to draw up a lengthy list of items. Granted, this was a list of the things my car-owning acquaintances kept in their actual glove compartments, rather than the contents of my own inner one, but it gave me something to work with. And work I did, my mental cogs whirring away, greased and thrumming.

This episode was recorded on the 16th June 2011. A complete transcript of this episode can be found on Frank Key’s Hooting Yard website.

Romero in the 1980 and 90s and more recently working with Steve Niles at IDW on projects such as Dead, She Said, Doc Macabre, The Ghoul and their forthcoming collaboration Frankenstein Alive, alive.

Hello GoodBye Show 17 March 2012: Tylehurst Children’s Arkestra and Teta Mona

Two Hello GoodBye debuts this lunchtime with Tilehurst Childrens Arkestra and Teta Mona performing LIVE & DIRECT!

Formed by five old friends from Reading, Tilehurst Children’s Arkestra have been playing in and around the South East since 2007. Their sound is as equally informed by teenage obsessions with metal, indie rock and rap music as it is by their more mature tastes in krautrock, jazz, and progressive rock – yet their main aim is to produce short, sharp, precise bursts of songs, a far cry from the endless faffing about associated with many of these genres.

December 2011 sees the release of Kopfsalatrock, Tilehurst Children’s Arkestra’s debut album, and it is the very epitome of DIY. The album was engineered, produced, and mixed by the band. They also produced the artwork themselves, funded it’s pressing onto 10 inch vinyl, and are releasing it in conjunction with Reading based label doubledotdash!? – a label that various members of the band have been heavily involved with since it started in 2004.

Potty mouthed perfect pop-punksters! Teta Mona is a side project that recently formed out of 2 London based bands; No Cars (Kyoko and Sachiko) and Screaming Tea Party (Teresa & Nyian). Teta Mona is a brand new project that originally began as a solo act for Teresa (ex STp, New York Howl, the Catcher Nine) but very quickly developed into a full band as the result of a spontaneous jam session that broke out at Scar studio, Camden.
And in conjunction with Resonance FM’s current fundraising drive the Hello GoodBye Show is selling off a show minute by minute – at the rate of £10 per minute!Use the time to promote your band/cause/political views/small business/megaglobal corporation.

Electric Sheep Podcast: Exploring The Lair of the White Worm

Electric Sheep Podcast: Exploring The Lair of the White Worm

In a panel discussion recorded at The Horse Hospital arts club after a screening of Ken Russell’s lurid Bram Stoker adaptation, The Lair of the White Worm, Mark Pilkington discusses the film with BFI Flipside programmers Vic Pratt and Will Fowler, touching on issues of the legend of the Lambton Worm, titillation in absurdity in British cinema and Russell’s three picture deal with Vestron Pictures in the 1980s.
