December 08, 2021 The War Years w/ MKUltramegaphone (Retrocast)
The War Years w/ MKUltramegaphone (Retrocast) (#228)
This week, we review two shows from 2017, where the then-house band – MKUltramegaphone – presented two long-form cut-ups and live jams, all centering around how, exactly, we got into WWII. This was our “Pearl Harbor Day” broadcast, and only at the end did I remember: we didn’t get to Pearl Harbor Day in our original broadcasts! Oh well.
Here’s the original shows:
The War Years Part I (w/ MKUltramegaphone)
The War Years Part II (w/ MKUltramegaphone & Uneasy Chairs)
Enjoy!

Let’s Have A Party Tonight! (#226)
With the holidays upon us, it seems like there’s too many family and social obligations already upon us. So, before we have to do the family thing, and drive for too long to visit family that we might not be excited about, let’s instead have a party, to celebrate with friends before we have to do the holiday thing.
Wanda Jackson punctuates this celebration. Let’s party!
Enjoy!

Blast Off!: A Journey Through The Mid-Valley (#225)
Our debut via “Sheena’s Jungle Room on WFMU.” For this program, we offer an overview of what our show is like for new listeners! This includes: technical difficulties! A visit to hang out with The Grumpy Punk. I engage my vintage tour guides to help us trek through the wilds of The Mid-Valley.
And then: some live Mini-Mutations along the way.
Listen as I stumble through a new incarnations of Mid-Valley Mutations!

November 10, 2021 Reflection
Reflection
The release of People Like Us‘ new album The Mirror got me thinking about reflections, and what the do and do not say about us and our state of mind. As I begin to prepare for an incredible voyage to make new friends and travel far, I am compelled to take a similar trip through music and sound, hoping to stumble upon something that works.
In hour one, I continue to mine the joy that comes from new music that I have come across recently. This is a great mix, with a lot of cool stuff that I do not announce during the show, so please, read the notes below.
Then, in hour two, Mini-Mutations sort of busts open the idea of reflection with an hour-long jam on the subject itself. Samples (manipulated with a MicroGranny & a pair of Numark CDJs), bass, and a delay pedal.
And you were there!
Enjoy!

November 03, 2021 Vanished!
Vanished!
Sometimes, radio can seem different when you’ve vanished. Hopefully, this is a good way of meeting everyone much more directly – with live mixing and a performance – to cause the notion that I’ve vanished to disappear.
Hour one is all jams I’ve been into lately. Hour two is a mix of samples (manipulated with a MicroGranny & a pair of Numark CDJs), bass, a delay pedal.

November 01, 2021 “Nov. 1” by Crackerbash
“Nov 1” b/w “Halloween Candy”
“Nov. 1” by Crackerbash
I listen to this song every November 1st. It’s by Crackerbash, a little known Portland band that I only got to see twice.
https://ia801406.us.archive.org/7/items/nov-first/NovFirst.mp3

But they were really, really great.
There’s some stuff available if you want to start digging. I recommend this live set from a performance in Corvallis in 1992.

Sean Crogan is currently the front man in The Pynnacles. They a really, really great, too.
Enjoy.
(Aired 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, & 2020.)
