  • A TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES REWIND! HALLOWEEN SPECIAL #6 October 28, 2016
    Tonight's special rewind is the reissue of my 2016 Halloween Special ... Long ago removed from my on line archives. Now heard for the first time in three years! Here's the details:

    Another Halloween is fast approaching so on today’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (#187) I’ll play songs from a multitude of artists that could be incorporated into many a celebration during this yearly festival, but unlike the forthcoming election, I’ll show more restraint and let the music speak for itself.

    You’ll hear plenty of relatable songs including a composition from Henry Mancini’s “Experiment in Terror” soundtrack, Frank Zappa’s “Goblin Girl,” Black Sabbath’s “Electric Funeral,” and a host of other pieces that hit the proverbial “spot” including selections from Robert Wyatt, David Bowie, John Zorn, RL Burnside, Pere Ubu, Audience, Tom Waits, and Brand X. There’s even NEW offerings from Nels Cline, Xiu Xiu, Devendra Banhart, Lucinda Williams, and Gong (from their “Rejoice! I’m Dead!” album) all which fit perfectly into this week’s overriding themes. There's lots of great music to enjoy your sugar rush with!

  • Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #341) - The 8th Halloween Special - October 25, 2019 - with Paul Ciminero (host)
    Witches, Zombies, Knives, Axes, and Nightmares all can only mean one thing...it's time for the 8th annual 'Halloween Special' on TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #341). This year those themes have been incorporated into six sets and blended together with plenty of NEW releases, 'vault' (or more specifically 'crypt') nuggets, movie dialogue from Jim Jarmusch's zombie apocalypse movie 'The Dead Don't Die,' and bad horror movie trailers all used to reanimate and bring to life another pointed Halloween spectacular.

    From the opening theme to 'Dark Shadows' and subsequent musical pieces surrounding DANNY ELFMAN'S 'This Is Halloween' melody (interpreted by PANIC! AT THE DISCO) the first set gets it's knives out with THE FACEDANCERS 'Nightmare,' AMANDA PALMER'S 'Machete,' and OCS'S 'Memory of a Cut Off Head' before finishing with DETENTION'S cover of The Beatles 'Helter Skelter.'

    Songs about witches grace the second set that gets started with the PIXIES 'On Graveyard Hill' then explores the evolution of witches with LOUISE HUBNER'S 'Seduction Through Witchcraft,' GILLI SMYTH'S 'I Am A Witch,' and additional songs along those lines from THE SONICS and THE MOVING SIDEWALKS. A spell is added before PINK FLOYD and THOM YORKE both lament about various methods of 'axe' handling.

    What follows is music and dialogue from Jim Jarmusch's “The Dead Don't Die,' with additional new music from PERE UBU, GALACTIC, ALLEN RAVENSTINE, and WILCO mixed in throughout. More new cuts are dispersed within the remains of the show and include music from RHIANNON GIDDENS, ROBBIE ROBERTSON, BRUCE COCKBURN, and yes of course, VAMPIRE WEEKEND! Add in the poetry of DYLAN THOMAS, LOU REED'S 'The Bells,' AUDIENCE'S original version of 'House On The Hill,' THE CRAMPS 'I Was A Teenage Werewolf,' and 'Time Warp' from THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and unlike what's left of your limbs, this show is not to be missed!

  • Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #340) - October 18, 2019 - with Paul Ciminero (host)
    On this week's TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #340) I'll celebrate two great upcoming concerts on tap at the Kent Stage, add an entire set of NEW releases to an ever expanding list of recent acquisitions, and get 'religion' so to speak with a legendary 'vault' offering (Get it? Offering!) from radio's distant past. Please tell us more, the aggravated congregation bellowed, because it sure beats watching the rapture unfold on the news.

    Things will start off with RICHARD THOMPSON'S 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight' (he appears at the Kent Stage on Monday) and what follows includes three new releases from ROBBIE ROBERTSON, WILCO, and ALPHA CAT. By the third set it's time for all NEW arrivals to take center stage with music from IGGY POP, PIXIES, THE METROPOLITIAN JAZZ OCTET (playing the music of Billie Holiday), RHIANNON GIDDENS and Francesco Turrisi (appearing at the Kent Stage this Wednesday), COCHEMEA GASTELUM, ANGELIQUE KIDJO, and Mali's TINARIWEN.

    During the fourth set things get a little 'preachy' as I resurrect a classic from the 'vault' with WILDERNESS ROAD'S humorous take on religious zealots called 'The Gospel' and surround it with a bluesy lament from ALBERT COLLINS, more irreverent humor from FIRESIGN THEATRE, an inspirational message via brother 'Jimmy Bell' ala the band CALLIOPE, before completing said set with three more new tracks from OH SEES, STEREOLAB, and JESCA HOOP.

    By now your probably chanting 'is that all there is oh enlightened one' to which I'll respond with a hearty 'heal no.' There's another BEATLES outtake from the new “Abbey Road' remaster, new songs from international artists KOKOKO (Congo) and ALTIN GUN (Netherlands), plus YUSEF LATEEF, SLAPP HAPPY, and later SENOR COCONUT doing a meringue inspired version of KRAFTWERK'S 'The Robots.' Put your hands on the radio dear brethren, and tune in!

  • Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #339) - October 11, 2019 - with Paul Ciminero (host)
    There's plenty to take in on this week's TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode (#339) as I've acquired another remastered gem, added a few more new releases, paid homage to the late drumming maverick, GINGER BAKER, and 'covered' the music selected by the noise band PIN 2 HOT that they drew inspiration from during last week's live performance.

    THE BEATLES 'Abbey Road' 50th Anniversary Edition joins the list of reissues to be played today (Take 36 of 'You Never Give Me Your Money' to be exact), along with another STEREOLAB album (this time it's 'Dots & Loops'), BRIAN ENO, and MASSIVE ATTACK. There's new releases added from ALPHA CAT and HAUSCHKA, plus more from CHRISSIE HYNDE & THE VALVE BONE WOE ENSEMBLE, PIXIES, IGGY POP, MILES DAVIS, and TY SEGALL.

    Then there's that whole matter of Pin 2 Hot's musical selection from last week's performance. They deconstructed and reassembled rock and soul melodies (ala Albert Ayler) so to honor their handiwork, I'll 'cover the covers' so to speak in my own slightly demented way. That means during the fourth set you'll hear DEVO'S cover of the ROLLING STONES 'Satisfaction,' BILL FRISELL interpreting LINK WRAY'S 'Rumble,' and RAHSAAN ROLAND KIRK embellishing THE TEMPTATIONS 'My Girl,' along with several other selections they chose to play.

    During the final set, I'll mark the passing of GINGER BAKER by playing songs from two different groups he was part of, then throw in a MONTY PYTHON classic bit to honor the 50th anniversary of their debut, before signing off for another week.

    Today's playlist:

  • Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #338) - October 4, 2019 - with Paul Ciminero (host)
    This weekend marks a musical appearance at Akron's 'Hive Mind' of the self styled 'noise' band, 'Pin 2 Hot,' consisting of local musicians Chris Butler, Bob Ethington, Michael Aylward, (all Tin Huey Alum), Corey Jenkins (Fancy Legs), Jacob Trombetta (Glenn Lazear), Matt Reese (Golems Of The Red Planet), & Christina Cruder who will deconstruct rock and jazz classics ala ALBERT AYLER, so during today's TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode (#338) I'll make a little 'noise' in their honor during the second set.

  • Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #336) - September 20, 2019 - with Paul Ciminero (host)
    Yipee! It's time to get creative once again and produce another new TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES. While listening to some musical ideas to use on this week's episode (#336) I scoured the latest OH SEES release, came across 'The Daily Heavy,' and lo and behold, there it was! The band used a rubber duck or doggie squeaky toy as a percussion instrument to begin the song, so I incorporated it into a set that started with the another new DETENTION song, then THE RACONTUERS, and followed it with MAGMA from Udu Wudu (the vocalizing is similar), then RODRIGO Y GABRIELA, KING CRIMSON (from Discipline), and finished up with RAINBOW FFOLLY (60's psychedelic folk).

    Changing the tempo the second set starts jazzy with the new WALLACE RONEY album, then soulfully moves to MARC COHN & BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA, vintage TOM WAITS, a spacy Latin rhythm from CARLINHOS BROWN, before the texture changes with PREOCCUPATIONS and on to another new cut from NAREN BUDHKAR & HEVREH ENSEMBLE.

    The remainder of the show has all the usual twists and turns you'd expect from me and includes music from local artists 15-6-75 (NUMBERS BAND), THE BEYONDERERS, PETER LAUGHNER, and PERE UBU, plus more new additions from PATTI SMITH, THE COMET IS COMING, VIOLENT FEMMES, and AFRICA EXPRESS. I've also got selections from AUDIENCE ('House On The Hill'), BRIAN ENO, synthesist ROBERT SCHROEDER, QUIET SUN, and Canada's HART ROUGE all blended in throughout the show.

  • Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #335) - September 13, 2019 - with Paul Ciminero (host)
    This week on TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #335) there's plenty to crow about. (Where the heck did that phrase come from anyway?). I start the show pontificating about how listening to free form radio in the late 1960's in N.E. Ohio influenced how I approach this program and proceed to show you exactly what I'm talking about. Boy was this a fun show to make.

    It starts off with another new gem from PERE UBU'S latest, then seamlessly blends into a PORTICO QUARTET piece, adding more new material from the OH SEES, STANLEY CLARKE, and PETER LAUGHNER, as well as 'vault' tidbits from JACK LANCASTER & ROBIN LUMLEY to the mix.

    Having caught Wes Anderson's stop animation movie Fantastic Mr. Fox over the weekend, it inspired me to create a set using two songs by ALEXANDRE DESPLAT from that film intermixed with new reggae music from STEEL PULSE, the spoken word ravings of WILD MAN FISCHER, and the sonic sounds from HAWKESTREL and INVISIBLE OPERA COMPANY OF TIBET (Daevid Allen & Gilli Smyth).

    Now the ball really gets rolling as CALEXICO & IRON & WINE lead off set number three, followed by THE BAD PLUS doing a jazz cover of the PIXIE anthem 'Velouria,' followed by the PIXIES playing that same piece, which evolves into Akron's own DETENTION doing a blistering cover of “Helter Skelter.' That all leads into BLACK SABBATH'S 'Paranoid' followed by JOHN HARTFORD reciting 'The Lowest Pair' (proving you can play metal and folk music back to back).

    There's all sorts of goodies throughout the remainder of the show (including songs from JONATHAN RICHMAN, PETER GABRIEL, and IMOGEN HEAP) and the final set contains an amazing acoustic guitar version of Pink Floyd's epic, 'Echoes,' interpreted by RODRIGO Y GABRIELA from their latest album, 'Mettavolution.'

    Today's playlist:

    SET #1
    PERE UBU 'Flicking Cigarettes At The Sun' - The Long Goodbye** 3:20
    PORTICO QUARTET 'A Luminous Beam' - Art In The Age Of Automation 6:02
    OH SEES 'Poisoned Stones' - Face Stabber** 3:55
    PELOQUIN-SAUVAGEAU 'Sterilization (final)' - Laissez-Nous Vous Embrasser Ou Vous Avez 3:10

  • Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #334) - September 6, 2019 - with Paul Ciminero (host)
    I can't believe it's one week into September already. Where did the summer go? It seems every time I look up it's another day, week, or month flying by. It'll be time to rake the leaves shortly, then, god forbid, another five months of shoveling the walks. Slow down Paul. You're getting way ahead of yourself...again. Savor the moment and carpe diem, as they say. Right now I've got another new radio podcast to enjoy. It's time for TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #334 if you're keeping count) and this week I'm presenting another worthy listen.

    We'll start off with more from ANGELIQUE KIDJO'S latest, follow with a new cut from NAREN BUDHKAR and the HEVREH ENSEMBLE, then add newly acquired RODRIGO Y GABRIELA, instrumental's from PETER LAUGHNER and RYUICHI SAKAMOTO'S recent issued CD's, and let LAURIE ANDERSON and CRACKER weave tales about the enchanted island of Bali.

    The second set gets spacey with WILLIAM SHATNER embellishing the prog classic 'Sonic Attack' by Hawkwind via HAWKESTREL (listen closely as Bill comes 'uut' showing his Canadian roots), and the trip proceeds with RAYMOND SCOTT and MR. QUIMBY'S BEARD acting as planetary tour guides, adding sonic attributes from THE CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND, CALEXICO & IRON & WINE, LAIKA, and PENGUIN CAFE ORCHESTRA along the way.

    Later there's MORT GARSON doing an early synthesizer version of 'Good Morning Starshine,' plus ALICE COOPER (from 'Pretties For You') mixed in with CAN, VIOLENT FEMMES, and JOE STRUMMER & THE MESCALEROS and during the final set the 60's symphonic prog band EKSEPTION does 'Rhapsody in Blue' alongside RANDY NEWMAN, JOE BYRD'S UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and DUKE ELLINGTON, before finishing the show with HECTOR ZAZOU & SANDY DILLON interpreting 'Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles.'

  • Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #333) - August 30, 2019 - with Paul Ciminero (host)
    It seems like every week something inspires me to put together a set or two with a certain sound to it and on today's TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #333) surf guitars and old time jazz standards became this weeks obsession so during the fourth set you'll hear some very unusual 'covers' featuring both genres.

    During that set ROBERT FRIPP'S STRING QUINTET begins it off with a electrified acoustic version of The Venture's 'Walk Don't Run' which then leads into a remix of SARAH VAUGHAN interpreting a jazzy version of the hit song 'Fever.' What follows next is ORANJI SYMPHONETTE playing Henry Mancini's 'Experiment In Terror' and JOHN ZORN shredding the 'James Bond Theme.' At this point it's a good idea to have your drool bucket handy for the remainder of the set which includes LOU REED covering Buddy Holly's 'Rave On' and other sonic surprises. (THE BEYONDERER'S finish it all off with more psychedelic surf from their latest 'Disclosure!').

    Other notes of interest in this show include NEW music from the Hawkwind spin off band HAWKESTRAL, TY SEGALL, PETER LAUGHNER, THOM YORKE, and a collaboration between CALEXICO and IRON & WINE; international styling's from France's LO'JO, Brazil's BOLA SETE, and Mali's TINARIWEN; and more 'vault' fav's from AMON DUUL II, VAN DER GRAAF, JOHN CALE, and JUKKA TOLONEN.

    There's a lot to take in and it all gets started with the VIOLENT FEMMES crooning about being forced to listen to bad song lyrics via their latest anthem 'Another Chorus' so don't miss a minute of it!

    Today's set list:

    SET #1
    VIOLENT FEMMES 'Another Chorus' - Hotel Last Resort** 2:38
