Last sunday James on the Jazz show was playing a track from the new Iggy Pop recording; I walk in to do a session and had with me some Carl Craig and some George Clinton. In some part, us Kiwi’s are affected by that part of the world—musically—and motor vehicles too of course. Recloose also lives here too right? Then there is the new Orcon campaign.

Last week re: tunes by Owl Vision; forget Cascada’s plea to evacuate the dance floor, check instead the kill-everybody-on-the-dance-floor-aesthetic of Owl Vision and perhaps even The Bloody Beetroots—least of all should we take a lassez-faire approach and jam a french electro-core cruicfux up Bloody Beetroots asses for being so damned contrived ie punk 1977—and yeah we can excuse them coz they’re Italian and they look good and they’ve got NRG.

The brief of the show is intended as ’sonic’ (yeah ok) so it’s sort of logical to include the distortion and political left-of-centre-adjunct-cut-up of Oizo, Owl Vision, Sterehoes, Designer Drugs remixes etc as a progression from the sonic distortion of Mark Stewart & The Mafia and all that early On U Sound malarky, rather than a nod towards presenting some new dance floor flava. In other words there’s a speaker—now lets here it buzz and this notion also reminds me of listening to early Force Inc. on a transistor.

I been doing the C Sounds slot now for over 4 yeahs. During that period of time listeners have told me that every show is kind of different, which I agree with, but and however, I think that with a show overview there is a consistency and predictability with the sounds/vibe of each show. I use a sine wave type flow diagram by which one could judge what kind of show is gonna happen (granted that we’re all so interested). I’ve included a quick sketch of that sine wave, which I also modified in Photoshop. Thats a monthly sine wave.

I heard it said good today, ‘…one of the architect’s of Rock n’ Roll…’. Les Paul 1915 to now. That’s a heads up also to the true spirit of  rock n’ roll no matter how detrimental—albeit—oblivious to governments endless campaigns to modify behaviour. Yawn.
