BP Radio: Wintry Mix 2 hours of music starting at 3PM Eastern, 12 noon Pacific, 9PM London, and 9AM in Pago Pago. (In other words, in about 25 mins.)
D'oh! Thanks, DarkForest. I spaced out. (But fixed it now.)
So far:
The Flaming Lips - Evil
Earth - Coda Maestoso in F (Flat) Minor (remix by Autechre)
John Frusciante & Josh Klinghoffer - Sphere
Sonic Youth - Female Mechanic Now On Duty
Mercury Rev - Hercules
Electric Light Orchestra - Another Heart Breaks
Ray Davies & The Crouch End Festival Chorus- Celluloid Heroes
It happened just as I opened a graphics program - so I just assumed it was on my end. Nice so far. I stayed away from the Ray Davies album because I couldn't imagine it working. But then I ehard an interview with Ray on NPR discussing the album and it sounded great. I just got it and am quite happy. Even when he's just revisiting his catalog (yet again) he managed to do something new and exciting.
I learned of that album from a piece on NPR (by one of the guys in the chorus), and if I hadn't heard the song snippets they played, would have assumed the album was a disaster. It turns out to be pretty darn cool, though, as you say.
Arcade Fire - Wake Up
Killing Joke - Tomorrow's World
Nancy Sinatra - About A Fire
Mogwai - The Sun Smells Too Loud
Love Tractor - Outside With Ma
Love And Rockets - Kundalini Express
Luna - Superfreaky Memories
BP - we heard the same piece on NPR. I was thinking it was Ray, but you're right, it was a guy from the chorus. It started just as I was getting out of the car, end I ended up sitting in the car waiting for it to end.
Hmmmm....Love Tractor followed by Love and Rockets. I thought for sure Love Battery, Love, or Love Nut was next.
X - Just Another Perfect Day
Orbital and Angelo Badelamenti - Reached
Blondie - Angels On The Balcony
Imogen Heap - The Walk
Southern Death Cult - Fatman
Roky Erickson - We Are Never Talking
Swans - Song For The Sun
Spiritualized - Cool Waves
...and that's it! Hope this warmed your bones on a cold cold day.
