The Signal Music Weblog

Realized while I was in DC that I forgot to include the track list in EP055 when I originally posted it. An updated version is now available, so if you're interested at all in what's inside the musical sausage casing, you can download the new version and see the track list in the id3 tags.

The Signal: EP055 - Back again, lining up tunes all in a row for you to one day listen to, if you download it in time. We've got a dubstep collaboration blended with thoughts about time and the universe, the requisite odd cover versions, some garage rock and surf, and other oscillations that make the atoms in the air shimmy up next to you eardrum, which your brain interprets as music. Weird, that.

File is available for a limited time. Like, a month. Tracklist is in the id3 tags. Notes are below the MORE cut. I hope you like it.

The Dreams - A BBC Radiophonic Workshop episode that's almost 30 minutes of average citizens of the UK talking about what they've dreamt. Their recollections have been cut up and re-edited, grouped by theme, and backed with eerie electronic sounds created by Delia Derbyshire, the groundbreaking electronic artist who composed the theme to Doctor Who (among other accomplishments).

It's haunting stuff. Thanks to the Sovereign for the recommendation.

Screaming rockabilly from Los Marauders for a cable access show: I'd never heard of them before seeing a piece of this video linked on WFMU's weblog, but holy cats! They've got energy to spare!

While no one may visit SignalStation often enough to make it worth putting up time-sensitive posts, I thought this was interesting enough to give it a shot anyway.

Starting 30 minutes ago and for the next 3.5 hours, KFJC in Los Altos Hills is playing jazz harp music as part of their "Month of Mayhem" programming. You can find a stream to listen to here.

There's a schedule up for the rest of this month's programming which includes a number of things I'm interested in, personally, including a bagpipe-centric show at 7 p.m. (US-Pacific) tonight and a show about 8-bit music on Saturday the 23rd. Oh! And a battle of the surf bands on May 17th!

Lots of good stuff.
