SEAN ORGAN RADIO SHOW – RESONANCE 104.4FM,  LONDON – 18th June 2006

Who got played this week? And how do you find out more?

1: intro theme track – TRANSISTOR SIX – Back Yard Rocket Ship

2: GYORGY LIGETI / BAVARIAN RADIO ORCHESTRA – (excerpt from) Jupiter And Beyond (EMI) -  From the soundtrack to 2001:Space Odyssey in memory of the fine avant composer who passed away this week. Only way we could start tonight’s show really. Excellent live play before we came on, Hamlet – was that the bloke from Green Wing sword fighting with car aerials just then? 

3:  HAWNAY TROOF – Flowers (Retard Disco/Southern) – one of the albums of the year so far, double CD actually, cutting edge Hip Hop from Oakland California – every track on 34 track album is a gem. You’ve got people like Deerhoof, Erase Errata, Peaches and more – I de believe he’s on tour in Canada right now.  www.hawnaytroof.com

4: TANGAROA – Dance (Anticulture) Third track from the Leeds band forthcoming five track Day EP  - Extreme jittering flickering metal that may be bad for your heart - find more out from www.tangaroa.org.uk or www.anticulture.co.uk

5: DRESDEN DOLLS – Sex Changes (Roadrunner) – A nice little song about organ removal snip snip snip from the duo’s excellent new album Yes Virginia.

6: MANYFINGERS – Some Shield (Acurela) - Now this is taken from a delicately beautiful (forthcoming) double album called Our Worn Shadow), one disc a CD, one a compelling DVD from multi-instrumentalist Chris Cole (from Soeza and Movietone). Part of that highly creative (and rather shadowy) Bristol scene. Once again you can hear more and find links via www.myspace.com/manyfingers  or www.manyfingers.net

7: INDICA RITUAL – Neat Animal (BuzzBuzz?Bang) -  Buzz Buzz Bang seem to be some kind of collective, club, underground label general DIY do’ers up there in Liverpool – this is from a CDr compilation that’s full of, in their words “hellish square waves” - fine things from Indica Ritual, Cup, Steal Gandhi, Financial Times, Rhubarb, Kulant and Binary Toad (did Poisoned Electrick Head put something in the water up there? Is this the result?). Once again Mr Murdock will put you in touch via www.myspace.com/buzzbuzzbang

8: TANGAROA - When The Door Swings Shut, Draw That Gun (Anticulture) First track from the Leeds band forthcoming five track Day EP  - Extreme jittering flickering metal that may be bad for your heart - find more out from www.tangaroa.org.uk or www.anticulture.co.uk

9: STEEL GANDHI – Ladders Fall On The Deserving (BuzzBuzz?Bang) -  Hey, I know we just said this, we’re busy here, come on. Buzz Buzz Bang seem to be some kind of collective, club, underground label general DIY do’ers up there in Liverpool – this is from a CDr compilation that’s full of, in their words “hellish square waves” - fine things from Indica Ritual, Cup, Steal Gandhi, Financial Times, Rhubarb, Kulant and Binary Toad (did Poisoned Electrick Head put something in the water up there? Is this the result?). Once again Mr Murdock will put you in touch via www.myspace.com/buzzbuzzbang

10: DUNGEN – Christopher (Kemado) another track from the excellent Invaders compilation – last week it was the Fucking Champs (or as we like to call them on the radio, the Flipping Champs), this week Dungen and High On Fire – lots of previously unreleased goodies on this album. This is a compilation from the people involved in the Beast club in New York – they play the heaviest slices of old school flavoured metal, psych and prog laced hard rock. You’ll find goodies from Saviours, The Sword, Comets On Fire, Pelican, Witchcraft, Warhammer 48k and more.... and where would we all be without the My Space link? www.myspace.com/invadercomp

11: DIRT – Shine Without The Bling (demo) – Ah, my favourite hip-hop maker right now, he/they call it grime, - it’s all low slung and easy on the ear, but those lyrics have bite, there is intelligent hip hop to be found out there if you search for it and dig your way past all the dumb stuff. Dirt is from P.G, Florida – www.myspace.com/dirtiestinthesouth

12: VESSELS – Take It Outside (demo) Another track from the excellent debut five track demo from the Leeds band recently seen sharing stages with Appleseed Cast. All five tracks on this demo are equally as good. Actually this is the demo of the week on the Organ website @ organart.com. Intelligent emotional post-rock – www.myspace.com/vesselsband

13: ASDA FAN – I Have No Eyes (BuzzBuzz?Bang) -  Hey, I know we just said this, we’re busy here, come on. Buzz Buzz Bang seem to be some kind of collective, club, underground label general DIY do’ers up there in Liverpool – this is from a CDr compilation that’s full of, in their words “hellish square waves” - fine things from Indica Ritual, Cup, Steal Gandhi, Financial Times, Rhubarb, Kulant and Binary Toad (did Poisoned Electrick Head put something in the water up there? Is this the result?). Once again Mr Murdock will put you in touch via www.myspace.com/buzzbuzzbang

14: PLAID & BOB JAROC – The Launching Of Big Face (Warp) – A track from the forthcoming album/DVD double set collaboration between Plaid and video artist Bob Jaroc (hey, we need a TV show, oh, hang on, we’ve got one, starts July 12, 10.30pm, SKY 173 – ORGAN TV, a bit like Organ radio only with pictures). More from www.warprecords.com

15: PFAFF – There Are No Mountains in The Netherlands (That Dam) A fine track (well we wouldn’t be playing it if it wasn’t a fine track would we?). A fine track from the new fourth album that came out last week. The hardest working man in lo-fi so says the Dutchman’s press release – guess what else in on the press releases, yeap, a link to his my Space page – www.myspace.com/pfaffmusic or www.thatdam.nl

16: SEX PISTOLS – Substitute (Virgin) – Ah well we couldn’t let that Who Live At Leeds revisit this week go unmarked now could we (this is a rock show after all). You don’t need permission for anything. 

17: HIGH ON FIRE – Devilution (Kemado) another track from the excellent Invaders compilation, see the Dungen notes for more info. Old school progressive metal with a stoner edge from Oakland California.

18: CAY – Princes And Princesses (ORG) - The original raw recording from back there in 1998 and still the best thing they ever did, recorded live in a garage on a cassette recorder and a blasting one and a half minute slab of attitude, if only they’d kept on doing it rather than allowing a clueless major label and equally clueless management rip them apart and destroy it all. Long since deleted but hey, I found on in the Organ mess here and I couldn’t resist a bit of self indulgence 

19: ICON A.D – Clockwork Orange (Overground) – A fine track from the new 23 slice retrospective compilation of the 80’s Anarcho band’s fine output. This track was originally recorded for a John Peel session. The album is called Lest We Forget and it’s out round about now – www.overgroundrecords.com

20: AOTEA – You Can Call Me Hyena (Sound Devistation)  - A track from their very bouncy jazzy bendy pronky experimental post-rock album – Apocalypse In Transmetropolita. They’re from Wisbech (Cambridgeshire) and the whole album is excellent so expect to hear more.  Lot of gigs comeing up around the UK in August. They claim to have no mellody, no hooks, no sing alongs – what are they on about, you can sing to this - Hear some yourself via www.myspace.com/aotea  or explore www.sounddevisation.co.uk (a fine label from Nottingham that’s evolving out of an e.zine)

21: DOMINQUE – Ping (demo) – The mysterious Dominque Leone, favourite on the Other Rock Show with his lush orchestral Beach Boys, Sparks, Cardiacs flavoured experiments – He’s from Dekalb Illinois (USA), he has an album almost ready to go and these latest recordings can be downloaded from www.myspace.com/dominqueleone

22:  exit theme track – TRANSISTOR SIX – Back Yard Rocket Ship
