Transmusic Airwaves

Each week at a certain point it becomes time to start hunting and gathering for another shows musical provisions so on today’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #465) I’ll proudly step back and share sonically the assembled results of my latest labors. There’s plenty of tasty new cuts, unexpected ‘vault’ tracks, a surprising ‘cover’ (or two), and an unlimited assortment of genres to keep your ears happy. And after all, that’s what I hope keeps my listeners coming back from week to week, inventing another unique show every single time.

This week SPARKS gets the ball rolling with a track from ‘Annette,’ their recent rock opera film soundtrack followed by THE MEKONS, new songs from Algeria’s IMARHAN and ROBERT PLANT & ALLISON KRAUSE, then CALEXICO, another new track from the band DUMMY, and a ‘vault’ piece from STEVE HILLAGE .

I’ve put together a set with nautical themes to start the second hour with songs from MARC ALMOND, STEPHEN MALKMUS & THE JICKS, BRYAN SCARY, PETER BLEGVAD, THE PUNCH BROTHERS (a cover), MCKENDREE SPRING (‘Flying Dutchman’), and HECTOR ZAZOU (featuring John Cale and Suzanne Vega). 

There’s international pieces from JUANITA EUKA, SUBHASIS BHATTACHARYA, OMAR SOSA, and China’s HE JINHUA, jazz from JAMIE CULLEM (a cover of ‘The Wind Cries Mary’) and OLIVER LAKE, ska from OINGO BOINGO and SKANKIN’ PICKLE, psychedelic meanderings from U.S. 69, and genuine ‘old timey’ crooning’s from R.

This week’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #464) marks our annual transition into May, so on today’s program I’ll look back at one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history, the shooting of unarmed students protesting the Vietnam war at Kent State on May 4, 1970 and incorporate music from local artists who were affected by that event with other songs as part of today’s programming. 

The show begins with WILCO playing ‘War On War’ followed by THE LEAVES doing ‘War Of Destruction,’ then songs from JOE WALSH, DALA (doing ‘Ohio’), MODERN NATURE, MARTIN CARTHY & DAVE SWARBRICK, and PATTI SMITH’S anthem ‘Gandhi.’ Later on there’s music from CHRIS BUTLER, DEVO, and GLASS HARP all interspersed throughout other sets.

Other programming notes today include a set that transitions from Native American themes into Nordic elements with music from JOHN TRUDELL, Canada’s Inuit band TUDJAAT, Norway’s SKUGGSJA, and Finland’s WIMME.

There’s new tracks from YA TSEEM, JUANITA EUKA, JOHN HARDIN (Tin Can Luminary), BEIRUT, PARQUET COURTS, and FREQ OUT, and ‘vault’ finds from STANLEY CLARKE (featuring JEFF BECK), HATFIELD & THE NORTH, PHIL MANZANERA & SERGIO DIAS, and ROBERT CALVERT.

I’ll finish the show with a ‘space’ themed set honoring the late KLAUS SCHULZE with music from TOMITA, STOMU YAMASHTA’S GO PROJECT, SUFJAN STEVENS’ ‘Planetarium’ collective, and MANFRED MANN’S EARTH BAND.

On this edition of TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #463), you’ll hear plenty of old friends from the ‘vault,’ more new tracks from my latest musical finds, plus a range of international styles, and even an attempt to overlay a classic cut into one of those new pieces showing how similar the song structures are in the process. 

In the old friends department I’ve got HORSLIPS, KEVIN AYERS, DAEVID ALLEN, JIMI HENDRIX, and MUDDY WATERS lined up back to back during the second set surrounded by the PUNCH BROTHERS and CRACKER on each end. WES MONTGOMERY covers a Mary Poppins tune and MORT GARSON does the same with Hair’s ‘Good Morning Starshine’ plus there’s more classics from THE TRASHMEN, GENESIS (from ‘Lamb’), KEN NORDINE, and GURU GURU.

Indie bands BUTTHOLE SURFERS, ASHTRAY BOY, and GANG OF FOUR provide added flavor to today’s mix, with international artists OLIVER MTUKUDZI, JUANA MOLINA, and DENGUE FEVER offered as well. The latest releases from EELS, BEIRUT, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, and FREQ OUT also make appearances today. 

And what about incorporating that classic track into a new piece as mentioned earlier? Hint: It involves the middle portion of CURVED AIR’S ‘Metamorphosis’ and a track from KLO PELGAG’S new release. 

To top everything off, I’ll finish the show with THE NUMBERS BAND (15-60-75) and the track ‘Risk Of Love’ which you can find, newly remastered, on their album ‘20,’ on their website. Oh, yeah and go see them at Jilly’s on Saturday while you’re at it. I will!

Inspiration can come from many sources and for those of you who know how I operate, it, at it’s core, is what drives this weekly program. 

One source who’s always inspired my creative juices is multimedia artist, composer, and innovator LAURIE ANDERSON, who just last week was profiled on 60 Minutes so I thought I’d get my latest TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #461) going by incorporating three lesser known pieces from her ‘Big Science’ album into the programs first set. Surrounding those melodies are songs from ROBERT WYATT, SKY CRIES MARY, NICK DRAKE, CARAVAN, and a brand new offering from the band BEIRUT. 

There’s a ‘mountain’ of new material, ‘vault’ gems, and delicious musical soundscapes assembled throughout the shows remaining sets today. New releases abound from numerous artists including FREQ OUT, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, ROBERT PLANT & ALLISON KRAUSE, New York’s PARQUET COURTS, Houston’s KHRUANGBIN (with LEON BRIDGES), NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE, DUMMY, and more from PUNCH BROTHERS, KLO PELGAG, EELS, and ALT-J.

The ‘vault’ is anchored with THE CRAMPS, ULTIMATE SPINACH, SNAKEFINGER, and vintage PINK FLOYD while just about every musical style is covered from English folk (MARTIN CARTHY & DAVID SWARBRICK), classical/electronic (WENDY CARLOS), jazz (DELTA SAXOPHONE QUARTET), and international (Norway’s SKUGGSJA) and there’s even a classic comedy song from MONTY PYTHON.

This week’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #460) signifies the start of another new month (as I put my hand up to my nose and wiggle it, saying good riddance to March) and with it, the second week of my new noon program premiere slot. So how did that work out last week? I was still ten minutes late getting the show released. This week I actually thought I’d have to grab another show from the archive because of that most dreaded element that anyone even vaguely creative stumbles upon; writers block (or in my case music indecision). 

By Monday I had a wonderful first set assembled with music from FRED FRITH, KLO PELGAG, JESCA HOOP, HANNE HUKKELBERG, RALPH CARNEY, THE MARCH FOURTH MARCHING BAND, CALIFONE, MAPS & ATLASES, and the PENGUIN CAFE ORCHESTRA all lined up and then...48 hours of frustration followed. I spent the remainder of Monday and most of Tuesday trying in vain to forcefully surround the artist I picked to start the second set with other selections until I finally replaced him with the DAVID PIKE SET covering ‘Mother People’ and voila, the music flowed effortlessly once again. 

The Dave Pike Set anchors that set followed by songs from PRIMUS, SPARKS, GONG, THE KINKS, and several others before concluding with a track from David Bromberg and Vassar Clements’ HILLBILLY JAZZ collaboration. 

Other noteworthy items on this weeks program include ‘vault’ ditties from CLUSTER, KEN NORDINE, YUSEEF LATEEF, LOUNGE LIZARDS, and SOFT MACHINE (a request), worldly cuts from ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN, VIEUX FARKA TOURE, OS MUTANTES, and RADIO TARIFA, and more new pieces from ALT-J, JOHN ZORN & BILL LASWELL, and the PUNCH BROTHERS. There’s even a ‘cover’ of a David Bowie song and an obscure melody from the DARK SHADOWS television soundtrack. Tune in!

After nearly a decade I’ve finally decided that it’s time to give myself more time to produce my weekly freeform radio program so beginning with today’s latest TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #459), each show, from now on, will be released at NOON every Friday. This came about more from necessity than anything else as lately I’ve been unable to get everything completed in post-production without literally killing myself and as my routines changed, these extra hours will allow the process to become a little less STRESSFUL.

During today’s first set I’ve got new music from the EELS, JOHN ZORN & BILL LASWELL, and KLO PELGAG to start and then I’ll turn to GEOFFREY ORYEMA’S haunting ‘Bombs Are Falling,’ PETER GABRIEL’S ‘Rhythm of The Heat’ (where I’ve blended his English and German versions of that song into one song), JOE STRUMMER & THE MESCALEROS ‘Burnin’ Streets,’ and the WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND’S ‘Suppose They Gave A War And No One Comes’ into a musical statement that needs no explanation.

Moving forward there’s music from locals 15-60-75 (THE NUMBERS BAND), GLASS HARP, and GLENN LAZEAR, ‘vault’ treasures from THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS (‘Time Has Come Today’ – the rejected single), BATDORF & RODNEY, JEAN LUC PONTY, CAN, and TOMITA; more new pieces from ALT-J, DRY CLEANING, and TIMBA MM; African rhythm’s from TOURE TOURE and MANU DIBANGO, and even a ‘cover’ of ‘These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ from PARQUET COURTS.

Set your clock ahead to noon on Friday’s and enjoy what’s coming from now on. It’s definitely worth the extra wait!

Each week I try to keep your listening experience unique by adding new releases, interesting sets with a specific theme, surprises out of the musical ‘vault,’ or songs that somehow reflect reflect current events and today, on this edition of TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #458) you can add taking you on an international journey of Eastern Europe, the Far East, and parts of the Middle East during the final hour. 

I’ll get everything started with SPARKS (who opened their U.S. tour recently), AT-J and DANIEL LANOIS (who both have new releases), RY COODER (who turned 75 this week), and THE LAST POETS (who invented rap as a jazz based idiom). Then I’ll celebrate March 18th (‘Bubble Wrap Day’) with a song from CHRIS BUTLER & RALPH CARNEY, and surround it with songs from THE VIVIANS, THE BREAKERS, MODEST MOUSE, and WIRE.

I’ll celebrate the musical genius of CHARLES MINGUS and encompass that with more new tracks from TIMBA MM, KLO PELGAG, and CAT POWER as well as cuts from ESQUIVEL, STEREOLAB, and CURVED AIR. All of these selections should serve to prepare you for the musical journey that I’ve saved for you during the final hour.

During today’s final sets you’ll hear music from SITI NURHALIZA (Malaysia), ULYTAU (folk/metal from Kazakhstan), CHLOPCY KONTRA BASIA (quirky Polish avant-garde jazz), BUSTAN ABRAHAM (Israeli folkus pocus), ALLA PUGACHEVA (Traditional Russian Pop), along with SEVARA NAZARKHAN (Uzbekistan Prog), ALTIN GUN (Turkish styling’s from the Netherlands), HUUN-HUUR-TU (Tuvan throat singing), and several others. Plus you get to hear how not to pronounce any of the artists and their songs names. (That alone should be very entertaining!).

Over the last decade, I’ve celebrated various milestones on this program and today’s show, TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #457) represents a very significant one. Today marks my 500th radio episode since returning to radio in 2012 after a couple of decades away from the medium. 

In the mid-1970’s my career began at WKSU-FM, the Kent State University public radio outlet, doing a freeform/progressive format called Fresh Air. as well as jazz and folk programming. I departed Ohio in 1981 and worked in an entirely different field and by the end of the 80’s began volunteering at WGTD-FM in Kenosha, Wisconsin. My old friend and WKSU alumni Chuck Ruby was the General Manager there and he lured me back to do a half hour program specializing in soundtracks on a part time basis that lasted about a year.

In 2012 I was approached by another WKSU alumni, Bryan Chandler, about doing a show for an internet based radio station he worked at, San Francisco’s SFCR/KUSF In Exile. After five years there (and three program name changes) I began doing the current show independently. So here we are!

Today I’ll play many of my favorite artists and albums including BRIAN ENO, THE BEATLES, DEVO, HARRY PARTCH, AUDIENCE, ROBERT WYATT, and LAURIE ANDERSON to name a few. I’ve got film soundtracks from BERNARD HERMANN and THOMAS NEWMAN (WALL-E), international tracks from D’GARY and JUANA MOLINA, and even comedy bits from NATIONAL LAMPOON an FIRESIGN THEATRE. I’ll start off by saluting the Ukrainian people with GONG’S ‘You Can’t Kill Me,’ plus 10CC, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, and PINK FLOYD, with other music from CORNELIUS, BRYAN SCARY, and SKY CRIES MARY. 

That’s just a sampling of the radio magic I’ve got in store. Detail Below!
