Our last show!

In the middle of the show, Ed Hall and Colin Kelley came by to talk about the Atlanta Queer Literary Festival, happening Oct 15-19 at various places around town and concluding at Eyedrum on the 19th. Thanks for listening, and don't miss the 10-year anniversary event at Eyedrum on Saturday October 11th! 1:30:21 http://www.eyedrum.org/radioshow-2008-09.mp3 Performances recorded live at Eyedrum, the downtown Atlanta nonprofit art and music venue, aired monthly on WREK 91.1 FM during the Eyedrum Archive Sunday Special. In our penultimate show, we played just a few artists/bands, but long sets from each. First up was Lukas Ligeti, who is playing Oct 1st with Klimchak; his Don Buchla Marimba Lumina features prominently in his recordings and you'll get a good intro to that instrument at the upcoming show since Klimchak plays one too. Then we placed a long set by Parachutes, a large electronic/rock ensemble from Iceland, followed by an excerpt of the set by Paal Nilssen-Love and Frode Gjerstad, and finally Thank You, a band from Baltimore, wrapped up the show. Believe it or not, these three groups all played the same night at Eyedrum. Be sure to mark two dates on your calendar: on Oct 5th we'll have our last radio show, and on Oct 11th we'll have our big 10th anniversary party at Eyedrum. Ten freaking years, can you believe it? 2:00:58 http://www.eyedrum.org/radioshow-2008-08.mp3 Performances recorded live at Eyedrum, the downtown Atlanta nonprofit art and music venue, aired monthly on WREK 91.1 FM during the Eyedrum Archive Sunday Special. Great show this month! We started with Bangers and then Indigovox, two groups that will be playing at Eyedrum in the next month. Then we had a visit in the studio with the guys from the "Get Off The Road" / "Ride Or Die" bike-themed show happening at Eyedrum on August 15th. In between banter we played music by bands performing at that event, including Diamond Jackie, All The Saints, Zoroaster and Android Not Man. Then we played Parachutes, Psychedelic Horseshit, LaDonna Smith with Killick, an Open Improv excerpt, the Frode Gjerstad Trio (at ED again Aug 29th), Roger Ruzow and The 4th Ward Ensemble (Aug 30th), Marc Ribot and finally Francisco Lopez.

Then we played a whole set by local electronic act Recompas (recorded 08-May-2008) and then a whole set by El Paso prog rock act Corima (13-Jun-2008). Corima call their style "Zeuhl", say they're influenced by Magma, and sing in an invented language.

Karen Tauches stopped by to talk about her intriguing Bibliomancy event coming up on April 9th, and we finished off the first half of the show with Noot D Noot and Cadillac Jones from the WRAS benefit held at Eyedrum last December. AND THEN WE MADE A RADICAL TURN and played Congotronics for the rest of the show. Frankly, there's no Eyedrum connection here, except that we've been playing a Congotronics CD at Eyedrum a lot lately, and it's fascinating stuff. This part of the show starts about 74 minutes in. 1:58:08 http://www.eyedrum.org/radioshow-2008-02.mp3 Performances recorded live at Eyedrum, the downtown Atlanta nonprofit art and music venue, aired monthly on WREK 91.1 FM during the Eyedrum Archive Sunday Special.

In-studio guests Stuart Gerber and Chris Swartz brought their Stockhausen collections and knowledge and helped put together a great show reviewing the career of this iconic figure in modern music. Towards the end of the show we also played music by Kinan, Zentropy, Laromlab and Speechless. 1:57:28 http://www.eyedrum.org/radioshow-2007-12.mp3 Performances recorded live at Eyedrum, the downtown Atlanta nonprofit art and music venue, aired monthly on WREK 91.1 FM during the Eyedrum Archive Sunday Special.

We played selections by Sorry No Ferrari, Big Penguin, 13 Day Mission, Jaggery and Envie.
