In The Moog For Love

Posted in Disco Discourse on November 27, 2008 by lately

Reflecting on the last post, the idea of the Anti-Christ deejay
is an exploratory concept, maybe, in that it’s an Anti/thesis. It’s
the Anti-Thesis, a bit like this spiel I guess. Upside down cross
dancefloor madness—holy exploding mirror ball shard distortion.
Yeah yeah Antichrist Superstar. Shouldn’t it be fun? I mean
Jesus fucking Christ, one million blood splattered Carrie’s later…
where’s the Hendrixability? Maybe Danny Rampling’s ‘Shoom’
was the ultimate—pink dry ice and all. The Justice boys can ask Terry
if they could rip his Interstellar Moog Sounds.

Playlist for Sunday 23rd November

This show started out with shades of melo-chronic glitch
before the inevitable Afro sonic surrealistic pillow
descended—not with the doo doo funk but with the ‘dis’ and the ‘co’
uniting to bring us a Disco structural binary collision.
We have returned back to a time long before Kubrick’s bone
hurtling through the sky. 

The sonic Disco ‘Being’ returns to a place & time from whence it came—Afrikkka
—a time long before the emergence of the Anti-Christ (Dee-Jay).
Today (like now), the true cosmic sonic dimensions of a 4/4 beat
with reverberation and ‘kick’ have been corporatised into the truly crappy
label of dance music. The latter premise forms the basis of Disco’s
inclusion into our radio show pitched as a ‘Journey into Sound’.
To resist the modern spectre of Dee Jay and dance music is to re-embrace
the joy which has been plundered by mixology. 

The above theory will be proven… take for example ‘Love Lockdown’.

Also worth a mention is the Ammi Stewart Solid Gold stage set styling
influence for Trent Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails ‘Lights In The Sky’ tour.

The (s)election(s)

Posted in Playlists on November 9, 2008 by lately

Playlist for Sunday 9th November

In response to some of the comments I received, regarding
my post election discussion with Mama Loca prior to the show.
My main point of focus was on how our election result was achieved
—that people voted for change for the sake of change.
The facile nature of voting decisions. We now accept that people will make
decisions on carefully crafted one line statements which have no history or substance.
If the latter works this is what a politician will call a successful campaign.
Oh and fuck… no please please no more Jenny Shipley… an unelected
politician… does she still get free airfares because of that unelected position?
And what is with her Elton John look these days anyways… 

Apologies for not having the entire playlist here, but the main goodness is remembered.
