PCPRadio 1 Dec 07 Rodney

This weeks show features Guest DJ Rodney Timmins playing breaks, garage and widescreen grooves. The German garage and psychedelia really gets my kraut boat bobbing along. He plays an amazing track, Horrorscope, by reclusive millionaire synth dude Ralph Lundsten. Here’s a picture of Ralph in his evil disco lab.

Great material for a Hammer (disco) House film.

Squee! Those crazy drunken Fins! Near the start of the show is an excerpt of a Squee set (it’s really Skwee, but there aren’t enough Sq words and the other meaning is fun. It’s obscure enough at the moment that I can call it what I want. Minimal anybody?) taken from seclusis radio. Stay tuned for lots more Squee! The dance style for this music is called ‘drunken stumbling’. The show finishes with some fresh dubsteppahs.

The pictures below are links to a couple of videos by The Horrors. The first ‘Sheena is a Parasite’ is one I slept on- video by Chris Cunningham and the second ‘She is the New Thing’ -video by Corin Hardy is also very good(like something drawn by Dave McKean). Both the music and the video’s appeal to my inner goth child and chime with my slight but growing obsession with Bridget Riley(sixties op artist). I’m planning a garage rock temple to her for next summer.

Click the pics to link to the vids.

While on the subject of garage rock songs that begin with ‘she’, here’s the best one.

‘She’s bored with you’ by The Reigning Sound

Juke it to the Ground

Dj Blaqstar ‘Shake it to the Ground’ remixes are excellent also.

It’s kind of a Juke track, which is a dance craze coming out of but not confined to Chicago.

Click on the pics to see the vids.

The tune this links to ain’t half bad either.

It’s seem to be that they’re gettin’ into ravin’. The style is not that unlike the dancin’ in Prodigy videos or when one was on one ‘back in the day’. You know those moments when you go up a gear and start dancing to the 16ths, 32’s etc? Only obviously better ’cause they’re American.

Also check out new Euro dance craze, ‘Jump Style’

In the 1940’s a Artaud, a French actor/poet and schizoanalytic philosopher wrote a piece called On Balinese Theatre.

In it he speculates on music.

“There is also the broad, pounding rhythm of the music-an extremely insistent, droning, and fragile music, in which the most precious metals seem to be ground, in which springs of water seem to gush up as if in their natural state, and armies of insects march through vegetation, in which one seems to hear captured the very sound of light, in which the sound of deep solitudes seems to be reduced to flights of crystals, etc., etc…

…all these gestures, these angular and abruptly broken attitudes, these syncopated modulations formed at the back of the throat, these musical phrases that break off short, these flappings of insect wings, these rustlings of branches, these sounds of hollow drums, these creaking of robots, these dances of animated puppets,..

“the most compelling correspondences are constantly fusing sight with sound, intellect with sensibility, the gesture of a character with the evocation of the movements of a plant, across the scream of an instrument. The sighing of a wind instrument prolongs the vibrations of vocal chords with such a sense of identity that one cannot tell whether it is the voice itself that is being sustained or the senses that have absorbed the voice from the beginning. A frolicking of joints, the musical angle which the arm makes with the forearm, a foot that falls, a knee that bends, fingers that seem to fly off the hand-all this is like a perpetual play of mirrors in which the parts of the human body seem to send each other echoes, musical phrases, in which the notes of the orchestra, the whispers of the wind instruments evoke the idea of a violent aviary where the actors themselves provide the beating wings.

“…the infinitely varied modulations of the voice, in that downpour of sound, as of a vast forest dripping and coming to life”

Some background- In 1937 Artaud came to De Valera’s Ireland on his return from Mexico.

There he had kicked his heroin habit; he was in the land of the Tarahumaras and couldn’t get any. This may have been part of his purpose. There he took peyote with the Tarahumaras Indians, had many interesting visions and adventures and returned to France.

Back in Paris, he had a staff of knotted wood he believed to have belonged to Lucifer, Jesus and St Patrick. Moral fellow that he was, he decided to bring it back and give it to the Irish people. The staff of St Patrick was a religious, sexual and artistic totem for Artaud and his purpose may have been to research the staff. Ireland was also the recent site of the 31st Eucharistic Congress, the Catholic Church’s big international do.

 

Artaud in ‘Joan of Arc’

He came through Dublin and went west. Remember, this was a time in Ireland when membership of Communist organisations was a mortal sin.

Once in Galway, he got into various scrapes; a fight over non-payment of rent in the Aran islands, barricaded himself in a guest house( I picture the landlady trying to deal with the ranting paranoid visionary), tried to storm a Jesuit house and finally spent a week in jail before being deported back to an asylum in France, where he spent most of his remaining years. Here he was treated by Jaques Lacan the father of modern philosophic psychoanalysis.

This is the type of racket his landlady would have heard. (From his banned radio play to ‘to be done with the judgement of God’ ubuweb)

[audio:/Artaud-Antonin_06_Sound-Effects%20banging%20ect.mp3]

This is a postcard he wrote from Eyre Square.

For me the story has everything; insanity, theatre, drugs, music, puppets, philosophy and farce in 1930’s Ireland and is the basis for my projected dub opera.

Artaud in ‘Le Croix de Bois’

Oh yeah the mommy reference is to a famous quote from him “no mommy-pappy me”, which was his way of saying he way trying to escape the Oedipus complex. He’s also famous for his concept of the Body-Without-Organs. The person who posts the best 100-word explanation of which gets a free Cd.

PCPRadio 11/11/07 Starkey Special

This weeks show was a Starkey special, with most of the tunes coming from the Philly Grimester. His podcast mix for Xlr8 is well worth checking out. As is his radio show with Dev79.

He has Dubstep luminaries as guests on a regular basis and this week had a hilarious feature on ‘Squee’, a new style of music to which Finnish people drunkenly stumble to quote Dev79 ‘rythmic drukeness’. More on that anon.

Also on show was an excerpt from blogariddims 29 podcast- Lower end spasm or “Grimespasm” . This is my favourite mix from the excellent the Irish podcast series Blogariddims
