What a few days lie ahead for gigs in the area!  Tonight (Thursday) there is Grizzly Bear + St. Vincent at Leeds Met Students Union.  Friday night there is Daniel Johnston + Laura Marling + The Wave Pictures at the Brudenel Social Club.  Then on Saturday back at Leeds Met again, Choir Of Young Believers are supporting Mew!  And of all the above, what with it being Fireworks Night, it would seem most appropriate to suggest you watch the marvellous video for Grizzly Bear‘s Two Weeks:

And last night, this is what I played in my show: Continue reading →

Earache

Grind Madness at the BBC

Back to the formative days of grindcore on this week’s programme, with four shuddering blasts of apocalyptic noise  from Earache records epic 3 CD box set “Grind Madness at the BBC - The Earache Records Peel Sessions”  and also, by way of contrast, three tracks from Serious Sam Barratt’s excellent “Close to Home” LP on Ya Dig?. What else did we have in store? Walk this way , and take your shoes off ,I’ve just hoovered…

Eclectic Mainline 21st October

I’ll be brief today because to be frank – I want to get home!  I was saddened today to learn of the death of Liam Maher of Flowered Up, so in honour of him I finished my show with a Flowered Up classic.  Also in tonight’s show was a tune so peculiar as to make listeners think the CD was scratched, that tune being Russell Haswell‘s version of Cabasa Cabasa.  Anway, as I said, I want to get off, so here’s the list:

The Brothers Movement – Standing Still
Local Natives – Camera Talk
Russell Haswell – Cabasa Cabasa – from Warp20 (Recreated)
The Gun Club – Bad Indian
Tilly & The Wall – Falling Without Knowing
James Yorkston & The Big Eyes Family Players – Mary Connaught & James O’Donnell
The Twilight Sad – Seven Years Of Letters
Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba – hidden track from I Speak Fula
Marseille Figs – Jumbo
Kraftwerk – Tour De France
Neil McSweeney – Glencoe
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – 103
Daniel Johnston – I had lost my mind
White Tag Yellow Tag – Dalliance
Flowered Up – It’s On

When Big Joan Sets Up 8/10/09 – Passion before Professionalism

The most recent installment of When Big Joan Sets Up saw us fully taking advantage of our nightime slot with records about about what my grandma calls “downstairs business”, records with pointlessly complicated titles, me proving unable to say “Napalm Enema” with lapsing into gibberish , Abba songs in Hindi,and a man with the enviable name of Earl Worthington the Third.

The tracklist which scarcely does justice to how excellent the music was, or how hamfisted my presenting skills are, looks like this:

Deep Street Soul featuring Tia Hunter – “Kick Out The Jams” (7″) (Freestyle)
The Ladies – “Dirty Pictures of Your Mother” (EP- “Hole Sailor”) (NoWay/Black Lung)
Fy Fan – “Kleptokrat Moderat” (EP- “Ah Neji”) (No Way)
Earlyworm – ” The Nile Dread” (EP- “Dub King Killah”) (Voltage)
Hornet Leg – “Wait” (LP- “Ribbon of Fear”) (K)
Acid Elf – “Labby Darkno” (LP- “C-Lab”) (Napalm Enema)
Fairport Convention – “Matty Groves” (LP – “Leige and Lief”) (Island)
Broadcast and the Focus Group – “Make My Sleep His Song” (LP – “Broadcast and the Focus Group Investgate Witch Cults of the Radio Age”) (Warp)
The Archangel – “God is a Retard (Or: Freedom of Choice (Or: God is a Retard))” (LP – “Malachi”) (Celestial Conspiracy)
Morrissey- ” The Never Played Symphonies” (LP – “Swords”) (Polydor)
Horace Andy and Alpha – “Declaration of Rights” (LP – “Two Phazed People”) (Don’t Touch)
DJ Muante – “The Name of the Game” (V/A- EP – “Negative Connections”) (Headfuck)
Salma and Sabina – “Mitha Maze Dar (Dancing Queen)” (Cassette – “Salma and Sabina Sing the hits of Abba in Hindi”) (from www.aprilwinchell.com)
Amusement Parks On Fire – “Motown Ritual” (LP – “Young Fight”) (Filter)
The Gaslamp Killer – “Anything Worse” (EP- “My Troubled Mind”) (Brainfeeder)

TMTY 30th September – tracklisting

Howdy. I’m Joel. This is my first blog post for BCB.
I think we can all agree that it’s going pretty well so far.
Every Wednesday at 5.30pm I have the pleasure of filling 30 minutes of good Bradford air with all manner of noise, discourse and hillarity.
From now on I’ll be updating this site with tracklistings, spoilers and musings.
Here’s what we did on the 30th September.

The Drums – Lets go Surfing

Eclectic Mainline playlist – 30th September 2009

HEALTH

HEALTH

If I can make one recommendation for a gig next week, it would be to see HEALTH at the Brudenel Social Club in Leeds on Tuesday 6th October.  Die Slow is certainly one of my favourite tunes of 2009, and I’ve been led to believe they’re excellent live, so I shall be there on Tuesday as will Laura Rawlings.

Now, onto matters relating to tunes in last night’s show.  Of course, I played Die Slow, as well as covers of songs originally by John Denver (Micah P. Hinson) and The Beatles (The Feelies).  Here’s a full list of what I played:

Spiral Stairs – Stolen Pills
Anti-Pop Consortium – Capricorn One
Micah P Hinson – This Old Guitar
F*ck Buttons – Surf Solar
Cate Le Bon – Me Oh My
The Twilight Sad – The Room
The Feelies – Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey
HEALTH – Die Slow
Richard Hawley – As the dawn breaks
The Kindness – Swinging Party
APSE – Closure
The Death Set – Paranoia (Strike! compilation)
Hudson Mohawke – Fruit Touch
Lou Barlow – Goodnight Unknown
Choir Of Young Believers – Why must it always be this way

[addition at 17:30 on 1st October:  I have to admit, I didn’t learn until today the sad news that Beau Velasco of The Death Set died a few days ago, and it wasn’t for that reason that I played a song by them in my show]

Eclectic Mainline playlist – 23rd September 2009

E Day 2009

E Day 2009

Last Wednesday’s show was punctuated by me giving snippets of information about E-Day which takes place on 6th October.  Last year E-Day fell on a Wednesday so I gave you numerous bits of energy saving advice, stopping short of suggesting you actually turn the radio off.  This year the main focus of E-Day is a social experiment on the Isles Of Scilly.  There is lots of info about it on the E-Day website, including real-time energy meters for a school on the isles, the islands themselves, and even the whole country.

The songs I played this week, which I’m afraid had no direct linkage to E-Day, were:

J. Tilman – Crosswinds
The Heavy – Short Change Heroe
Lou Barlow – The Right
Juliana Hatfield – We’re Not In Charleston Anymore (from Ciao My Shining Star – the songs of Mark Mulcahy)
A Place To Bury Strangers – Exploding Head
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis – Zanstra
Micah P Hinson – You Didn’t have to be so nice
Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks
Autechre – EP7/Envane (Bogdan Raczynski remix)
Tender Trap – Fireworks
BLK JKS – Lakeside
Stardeath And White Dwarfs – Those who are from the sun return to the sun
The Twilight Sad – Seven Years Of Letters
Girls – Laura
