Mid-Valley Mutations

Raw Wobbly (#79a) In this supplementary mini-mutation, I decided that it was worth presenting some of Wobbly’s music without any of my mixing and editing. It was nice to hear the interview with Jon, and I hope you have already listened to the primary show (which you can find here). But we did talk a … Continue reading Raw Wobbly (#79a)

Let’s Get Wobbly! (#79) It is really hard to have it sink in that December is here, and that this year is winding down. And since we were having such a good time last month, we decided to annex a day so that Negativland November could continue for one more week. And this week, we … Continue reading Let’s Get Wobbly! (#79)

The Mark Hosler Interview Part I (#78) It’s Negativland November! Join me for a frank and in-depth conversation with Mark Hosler. Mark was a wonderful, and friendly gentleman who spoke with me at length about music and art, and we are featuring that conversation, with callers and Audience Participation, as part of this show. Stay … Continue reading The Mark Hosler Interview Part I (#78)

Originally posted on Mid-Valley Mutations: A Very Brautigan Thanksgiving (#27) This year has been incredible, and in the half-year that I’ve been on the air at KMUZ, I’ve already had some stand-out shows that make me very happy.  Live guests, interviews,  great audio essays, and plenty of new music that really paints a vivid picture…

King Black Acid & Eden Mononym, LIVE! (#77) With a two hour show, the extra time is often needed to help accommodate bands, either when they need to set up, call in, or what-have-you. But in cases like this, the extra hour works out great when you have two guests you’d like to fit in. … Continue reading King Black Acid & Eden Mononym, LIVE! (#77)

The Weather Report (w/ The Weatherman!) (#76) It is with no small amount of fanfare and excitement that I am able to bring none other than The Weatherman of Negativland fame to Mid-Valley Mutations. If you have been a long-time listener, or know anything about the kind of radio and music that I do, you’ll probably … Continue reading The Weather Report (w/ The Weatherman!) (#76)

Parallel Worlds Radio Bonus Batter (w/ Anna Davis) (#75a) When Anna and I got to talking about comics and Parallel Worlds, we very quickly lost track of time. (These things happen, especially after you’ve been suddenly transported to her store without intending to. See Prime Episode.)  Consequently, we have 30 minutes of bonus material, which … Continue reading Parallel Worlds Radio Bonus Batter (w/ Anna Davis) (#75a)

Parallel Worlds Radio (w/ Anna Davis) (#75) Much like an indie-rock band just trying to start out, Anna Davis of Parallel Worlds Comics is going through first year growing pains, trying to find a space that fits, trying to connect with customers that “get it,” and trying to remain true to the ideals that she … Continue reading Parallel Worlds Radio (w/ Anna Davis) (#75)

More Stories About Shock-let & Ghouls (Ghost Stories Part IV w/ Branden Marshall, Arvo Zylo & Miss Rikki!) (#74) Closing out our Halloween-Spook-tacular this year is a delightful trio of conversations with excellent friends, each of whom enjoy this time of year, but all things dark and eerie. There’s a bit of ennui that sets in … Continue reading More Stories About Shock-let & Ghouls (Ghost Stories Part IV) (#74)

Lavender & Marc Kate, LIVE! (#73a) I am such a lucky radio host, in that there are a ton of groups coming through the area, and experimental music – in almost every form – is really beginning to get some notice in a way that is impressive, and very fun to watch. And, some weeks, … Continue reading Lavender & Marc Kate, LIVE! (#73a)
