When Big Joan Sets Up 14/01/10 – Pink Lips and The Flaming Floyd

Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs - The Dark Side Of The Moon

Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs - The Dark Side Of The Moon

After last week’s snowbound cancellation this week, When Big Joan Sets Up emerged from the frozen wastes of Kippax like a big emerging thing to bring you Oaklahoman psychedelic legends,The Flaming Lips‘ radical reinterpretation of Pink Floyd‘s 1973 gazillion selling opus, Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety.

This fact has led to me and Albert Freeman putting our not inconsiderable heads together to come up with other “classic” LPs that we’d like to see reinterpreted. Above the clamour of “haven’t you sad bastards got anything better to do?” (the answer to which is, he probably has, I definitely haven’t) we came up with the following:

Eclectic Mainline 30th December 2009

So, dear listeners, it is now 2010, and it seems awfully old fashioned of me to talk about last year, but you see, the thing is, I haven’t yet told you what I played in my last show of the year on 30th December.  This was part of our Warp Records night on BCB, so sandwiched in the middle of my show was a Warp20 (Minutes) mix of tunes on said record label, celebrating their 20th anniversary.  This is what I played:

APSE – 3.1
Phosphorescent – Can I Sleep In Your Arms
Magnetic Fields – We Are Having A Hootenanny
Fever Ray – If I Had A Heart
Vic Chesnutt – Like A Monkey In A Zoo [RIP Vic Chessnutt]
—
Warp20 (Minutes) mix:
Boards Of Canada – In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country
Autechre – Rale
Grizzly Bear – While You Wait For The Others
Aphex Twin – Girl/Boy Song
Gonjasufi – Kowboyz&Indians
Sqarepusher/AFX – Freeman Hardy & Willis Acid
Battles – Atlas
Bibio – Kaini Industries
—
Flight Of The Conchords – Hurt Feelings
Big Star – Blue Moon [played because 31st December was indeed a blue moon]
Camera Obscura – French Navy
Antoine Dougb̩ & Orcheste Poly-Rythmo РYa Mi Ton Gbo (Legends Of Benin compilation)

Phil Cope and Laura Rawlings also devoted a third of their shows that night to Warp20 (minutes) mixes.

And, if it doesn’t seem ludicrously old fashioned, I would still like to write a bit of a blog looking back at 2009, so I may yet still do that.

Yo Ho Ho!

Yo Ho Ho!
