ORGAN SHOW - RESONANCE 104.4 FM, London - Sunday May 7th 2006
1:
TRANSISTOR
SIX - Backyard Rocket Ship - the intro music so you can find us while
you’re sailing by and tuning in (if you weren’t listening to the always
excellent Sunday night play before hand).
2:
JAZ
KAMMER - The Worms Will Get In (Smalltown Supernoise) - First four
minutes or so of their 16 minute total sludge and doom-out epic that you
all loved so much when we played the little sections last time. Elsewhere
on the album you’ll fine relentless gabber-drill metal and all kinds of
experimental stuff - the album is called Metal Music Machine... perfect
name for the album, it’s out next month - www.jazkammer.com
3:
CARDIACS
- To Go Off And Things (Alphabet) - Live version from the Rude Bootleg
album recorded at the Reading Festival where they got their uniforms very
muddy - www.cardiacs.com is where
you go for more
4:
SPIRRIITWO
- Foundling (demo) - Her/their - is she a she or are they a band fronted
by a she? Who is she? She’s from Israel, this is her rather beautiful version
of the Cardiacs track, there’s very few who dare to attempt a Cardiacs
cover and manage to pull it off. www.myspace.com/spirriitwo
5:
HAWNAY
TROOF - Out of Teen (Southern) from the new Dollar And Deed double
CD - boundary pushing hop-hop from Oakland California - www.southern.net
or www.myspace.com/hawnaytroof
6:
MEADOW
HOUSE - Hungerford Bridge (Alcohol) - from the very strange and rather
beautiful album Tongue Under A Ton of Nine Volters. He appears, well I
think its a he and not a band, to be from London. I don’t know, the just
turned up in the post, we’ve played several tracks now, the only website
address takes us to an estate agent!
7:
KEITH
BURTON - Cannibal (Fanny Street) Mr Burton’s rather different version
of the Send More Paramedics death metal anthem - who is he? Hoodrats next?
He’s got a whole album of this stuff, whatever this stuff is? - www.keithburtonandhisbeefcurtain.co.uk
8:
THE
SMEARS - Wrath - Demo track from the three piece all-girl punk rock
band from Nottingham who played a Sausy Lil Tart Riot Grrrrl flavoured
night in Inverness Street (Camden) last week and absolutely ripped the
place apart, Such nice quiet people until they hit the stage (or floor,
there’s no stage in the Colours Bar). The Sob Dollies were good as well.

HOT
CLUB DE PARIS - Slump Life (Downloaded track from their MySpace page)
The Liverpool band are playing the Buffalo Bar in Highbury Tomorrow (8th
May - well that’s today now, I just got home from Resonance and its now
the early hours of Monday morning), playing a lot right now, we caught
them with Battles and they are well worth all the attention they’re getting
right now. www.myspace.com/hotclubdeparis
10:
INDICA
RITUAL - Hiroshima - From the Liverpool band’s three track demo, they
probably have a my Space page as well, hang on, let me see (Mummy, what
did we do before in the world before My Space...?) www.myspace.com/indicaritual

groundbreaking debut album The Fall Of Math, a revisit from us before their
next batch of live shows - www.monotreme.com
12:
THE
UNIT AMA - Plastic Bertrand (Gringo) Track from their excellent new
album of progressive blues/free-jazz art rock. They’re band from the North
East who you need to catch live - check them out at Gringo and while you’re
there check out the new album from Lords, so much good underground music
around right now if you go look for it, this is a golden age - www.gringorecords.com
13:
DAS
WANDERLUST - I Wish I Was (Don’t Tell Clare) – Rather fine DIY release
from the Middlesborough band that comes in a lo-fi hand made cover that
really is a pleasure to handle. Best place to track them down is www.myspace.com/daswanderlust

CARTRIDGE
- Fooling Around (Cartridge Music) - A track from the very recently self
released debut album from one of the best new bands in London right now

15:
CONFLICT
- C.R.A.S.S.(Mortarhate) Classic slice of English Anarcho punk from back
in 1986 because there’s still a need for an ungovernable force - www.mortarhate.com
16:
THE
LOVE SUBSTITUTES - Bangladesh Fashions (Heaven Hotel) - Track from
the second album that comes out tomorrow (8th May), they’re from Belgium,
part of the always rewarding Deus family - www.heavenhotel.be
17:
LEAFCUTTER
JOHN - Dream 2 (Staubgold) - A track from the excellent new album The
Forest And The Sea (released on 19th June) - the album is a beautiful set
of field noises, found sounds and post-electronica laced around songs that
taste of folk and Radiohead and Nick Drake and probably sums up the spirit
of Resonance FM more than almost anyone. John Burton is also part of Polar
Bear and very much involved in the contemporary arts scene, his latest
project was to be found at the Serpentine Gallery, a collaboration with
Tomoko Takahashi. Oh look, there’s loads to explore with Leafcutter John,
both on this wonderful album and with alL his other inspiring creativity
18:
LEAFCUTTER
JOHN - Let It Begin (Staubgold) - Because to play just one track of
this beautiful album gives you no real idea, indeed it would be misleading
- Dream 2 is a two minute glowing organic electronic piece of sculpture,
Let it Begin is a beautiful song, two sides of a many sided work of....
oh, enough gushing now. Leafcutter John plays a launch party gig for this
album at the monthly ICA folk event Roots And Shoots on June 22nd - www.leafcutterjohn.com
19:
THE KNIGHTS OF THE NEW CRUSADE - Cowards Of Christendom (Alternative
Tentacles) - So what’s going on here? Best go ask Jello and save your soul,
is it for real, is a bluff, is it....www.alternativetentacles.com
20:
MEET
ME IN ST LOUIS - We Need To Act Like We Don’t Need This Shit. Then
They Gave Us The Shit For Free (Function) – Lead track from the bands five
tracks debut EP. Theyre from Guildford or maybe Exeter or somewhere in
Southern England and they were kind of annoyed that we didn’t rate their
previous demos but hey, this is good debut single and were more than happy
to eat our words and feed your ears - www.meetmeinstlouis.co.uk
21:
IGGY
POP - New York Is Beating Its Chest ... Again (Buddyhead) - A track
from the excellent Gimmie Shelter compilation from Buddyhead. Well now
I dont know 100f it is actually Iggy (but hey you don’t need to be that
much of a detective) and he probably didn’t want to put his name to the
track - well he wasn’t that complimentary about Moby was he? Buddyhead
is an underground radio/internet/thing/webzine from LA - www.buddyhead.com
– they like to "jack your ears off".
22:
THE
ROCK OF TRAVOLTA - Sleep With The Lights On (Tablature) - Track from
the instrumental post-rock outfits 2003 album, they’re been quiet for quite
some time, theyre playing the Bull&Gate in Kentish Town very soon (with
One More Kiss – who’s demo has been played on previous shows). Go surf
and find the date, its very soon, we cant do everything for you. Thursday
11th May, see we do do everything for you - www.bullandgate.co.uk
Next
week it's Marina's turn again, that means it's the OTHER ROCK SHOW and
the rule with the Other Rock Show is rock music that flies beyond the convention
of a 4/4 time signature... if you enjoy the ORGAN hour please do feedback
and please do go have a look at the Resonance FM site and maybe donate
a little to the Transmitter fund. Resonance FM is a unique station, you
hear things you never hear on more conventional commercial stations, there
is no advertising and everyone does this for free - were all addicted volunteers
but hey, we hammer that equipment seven says a week, it needs repair. Support
the station so we can do more of this please, please go donate a little
(via
www.resonancefm.com)
Thanks.
