Paradoxal Pterodactyl

It's almost upon us.  Josh Levi is josh leaving us.  Taking his lovely lady and pulling up stakes and leaving St. Louis for Washington D.C.  Our loss is their gain, and we're absolutely positive the multitalented and prolific softspoken sweetheart that's been such a fixture in our scene will flourish and thrive in his new digs.  Best of luck to you Josh!

So urrbody raise up your glass and salute homeboy, we'll play him out with this sweet recording of him absolutely throttling a sick-ass drone at noisefest last year.

Recorded by Bradley Schumacher.

We are very pleased to reveal that author Trista DiGiuseppi was gracious enough to supply us with a second reading from her science fiction novel "Nails Jane", an excerpt she's entitled "Memories".

Friend of the show Swim Ignorant Fire released this precocious little gem earlier this week with the following narrative:

"I thought I had lost all of the tapes from my first tape recorder when I was in 3rd grade or so (1994?) but this snippet was recently found on an old dying hard drive of mine.

This is probably the earliest recording of myself doing any kind of unintentional tape manipulation as well as my own ADD fueled entertainment for myself. I took this white tape everywhere, and recorded over it dozens of times until what you hear is left. I'm making this available because I think its the most honest dive into my own 3rd grade mind, and is really nostalgic to me and could be easily read as some kind of fucked up tape collage mixtape.

There are no edits within this 7 minute collage just a little bit of EQ & Limiting. All sounds were stolen from the radio or recorded around the year 1993-1994 in Armington, Illinois with sources ranging from my cousin making himself fart, jumping on the trampoline trying to destroy the recorder itself, 101.5 radio dedications to my 4th grade crush, and so much more.

What did you get your mom?

Electric violin virtuoso Dixon (Dixon's Violin) astonished all with his superlative performance at the regional Burning Man event Interfuse this past weekend, hosted by the sound camp Eyelicker.  Recorded for posterity by Davelybob, it is a supreme honor to share the experience with our audience, with Dixon's ever-gracious permission.  The man is a gift to us from the universe.

Next time you should be there.
