Another UFO: Supplemental (Document #MVM03)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

New Year, New Mutations, and to kick things off, we will be exploring UFOs again, picking up where Don Joyce left off, and adding our own spin to the proceedings. We pulled hours and hours of material for this presentation, so we will not run out any times soon. Our show includes several thick collage mixes, a call from our alien friend from Zornac, Bandit checks in with some casual call updates at the end of the show, and we keep scanning the skies – and our radio dials – for UFO activity. There’s really nothing better that early 70’s UFO documentaries, and there’s more to come, next week!

In Search of The Christmas Ghosts of The Mid-Valley! (Ghosts III)

In Search of The Christmas Ghosts of The Mid-Valley! (Ghosts III)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

We complete our trilogy – started in October with In Search of The Ghost Hunters of The Mid-Valley, continued last week with In Search of The Christmas Ghosts of The Mid-Valley, and completed here, now, with two more hours – and a full holiday ghosts tale – mixed in for your enjoyment. Since the dates lined up, I present a 45 Minute edit of a radio show I mixed live nine years ago, on the same date, distilling the show down to its raw essence. Since I got my timing off, I close with a live MicroGranny jam, that brings us to the end of the year, and beyond.

Be Seeing you!

In Search of The Christmas Ghosts of The Mid-Valley! (Ghosts II)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

It’s another journey deep into the lore and experiences of those who have seen or are haunted by apparitions, this time with a slight holiday component to the show. After debuting two new tracks by The Giant Worm – which were recorded days ago, and submitted to this show by the band – we pick up where we left off back in October, where we were In Search of The Ghost Hunters of The Mid-Valley. Now, we add a BBC broadcast of holiday ghost stories into the mix, along with music, a call from WebHamster Henry himself, and, plenty of Mini-Mutations. It’s a cut-up take on the Christmas Ghost Story, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

It’s Alive w/ Ghosts of Ghosts & Scot Jenerik!

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

We’ve got a live split LP of a show for you this week, as we bring you post punk and experimental music – and interviews – with artists here in the Mid-Valley, that I think you are going to love.

We start off with a live performance and interview with Ghosts of Ghosts, a trio who bring you instrumental tunes that are as danceable as they are otherworldly. After a brief intermission in hour two, flip the show over, and go on an otherworldly journey, with a live set by Scot Jenerik, who returns to the show to talk about his new live boxed set, Street of Crocodiles, and also gets into a lot of the process and motivation behind creating new work.

It’s a live double-header and you don’t want to miss it!

We make another nod to Nordine, as we continue to explore the classic Word Jazz series of broadcasts.

This week, Barno was out again, so it made sense to grab two more installments of this program, and give it a throw. The Digital Salon was pretty lively, as Hot Dog – and the pros and cons of Chicago Style – rapidly became the subject of conversation.

I had to miss my regular Tuesday show this week, so I picked up a shift to cover for Don-O, and offering three house of Thanksgiving Leftovers: all albums and records that I’ve been meaning to get to this year, but hadn’t appeared on the show yet. It’s a MOSTLY all vinyl show, but I really just play whatever I want, and enjoy it the whole time. Now you can, too.

It’s the holiday season, and as usual, we find that the once-a-year tradition of seeing the Ghost Hunters emerge and get sighted by any number of local oddball, here in the Mid-Valley. Miss Rikki (of legendary Closet Radio  fame) joins me for a tour of the Mid-Valley, in search of ghosts and other mysterious happenings. There’s plenty of music, natch, and we do our best to find the scariest parts of the Mid-Valley… all while trying to raise a little coin for WFMU.

20 Minutes Into The Future 2024 Halloween Special! (A Big Time Television Celebration)
(recorded 24 May 2024)

It’s that time of year, when our thoughts turn to those of Halloween!

Heather would have picked something local.

Austin is stuck in the 80’s, at Halloween.

 

Our Setlist:
Vic Crume * The Haunted House
Tim Curry * The Halloween Song
Oingo Boingo * Dead Man’s Party
Ramones * Pet Sematary
The Dickies * Killer Clowns From Outer Space
Men At Work * Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive
The Fall * There’s A Ghost In My House
Toto Coelo * Dracula’s Tango

We encourage you to help with our Patreon Fundraiser, where we are working with Michael Cassutt to create an audio-drama version of his lost vintage Max Headroom script, “Families.” So if you help support Austin Rich so he doesn’t have to punch a clock, then we can get more of this kind of material to you, quickly.

The War With The Newts

The War With The Newts

On the anniversary of Karel Čapek’s birthday, we listen to this 2005 presentation from the BBC, where they dramatize a 90 version of, “The War With The Newts.” This story is fantastic, breaks the fourth wall, has Karel and Olga – real life people – narrate the story from WWII Prague – as they worry about Hitler’s impending invasion, and instead, discuss a different world wide calamity that we all brought upon ourselves.

20 Minutes Into The Future: That Dr. Demento Sensibility (“Merry Christmas Santa Claus,” Chrysalis Records, 1986)
(Recorded on 9 November 2023; 1 September 2022.)

Once your star is ascending, it’s only a matter of time before someone realizes that the next logical step is to have your work the holiday angle, with a Special and a Holiday Single that will be on TVs and in stores… just in time for you and your loved ones to spend this special time of year with your new favorite celebrity. And this is how Max Headroom’s 7″ Single — “Merry Christmas Santa Claus” b/w “Gimme Shades” — came to underwhelm all of us in 1986.

 

Heather is really hung up on the lyrics, and can’t seem to think of anything else.

Austin wants to set the record straight, and thank Blank Johnny in the UK for sending a copy of the single to The Lava Lamp Lounge!

Giving Everything For X-Mas (by univac & Austin)

Austin’s Annual Holiday Program For Mid-Valley Mutations takes an unusual turn, as he desperately tries out something new, in an effort to make his show the best in the tri-county area. It’s a Holiday Horror Story, written by univac and Austin! Guest voices! Music! And a story about the places where dreams and technology intersect in the worst possible way.

20 Minutes Into The Future: “What Gives Our Lives Meaning?” (Warner Bros., “Blade Runner,” 1982)
(Recorded on 1 September 2022.)

Probably one of the more legendary and divisive opinions on our show: one of us did NOT like Blade Runner, and one of us is rather fond of it for it’s impact and influence on cinema, culture, and specifically, Max Headroom. Wanna hear us get into it, with a tid-bit recorded with Steve Roberts, who offers his thoughts on all of it?

 

Heather is reminded of the way certain men like to behave.

Austin argues about Class Consciousness. Again.

Sounds From Space: (November In The Stars) Special Apollo 12 Tribute

Between November 14th and November 24th, the Apollo 12 Mission quietly worked in the shadow of the much more exciting, and famous, Apollo 11 Mission from earlier that summer. Since we are continuing our coverage for “Sounds From Space,” this is sort of a sequel to our Apollo 11 Tribute from the summer, as we listen to Apollo 12 tapes this time, and enjoy a long-form Mini-Mutations jam… and while thinking about Sounds From Space.

The Great Outdoors

The Great Outdoors (#243) (852)

Xeres and I decided that we needed to get away from it all, for a while. We arrive at Big Rock Candy Mountain, a fantastic campground with a number of odd features, including a creek near an ocean beach with lots of hiking in tropical and pine forests. Occasional guests wander in, we read some poetry and short stories, offer some PSAs about camping, and we have our Short Wave Radio to tune in music and The Weather Computer.

It’s The Great Outdoors. Sit around the campfire, and stay a spell.

Enjoy!

Fortunately, I was allowed to crack wise to help me get through the night. Radio Riffing on two ridiculous horror classics, for those who enjoy a little comedy with their weirdness.

~ Austin Rich ~ Leave a comment

The People Who Died: 2022 Edition (#238) (847)

2022 has been hard on all of us already, and we’ve lost a number of excellent artists and performers that touched all of us quite a bit. With that in mind, here’s two hours of songs in tribute to those we have lost and loved, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Enjoy!

In this History Lesson (originally aired on 10 September 2011), we offer some clips from some music documentaries, that focus on how all this wonderful music got started. This version is a little re-vamped from the original broadcast, for Jungle Room Listeners.

This began last week! Feel free to listen to them as a four hour “documentary.”

Enjoy!

The Cave of Night

~ Austin Rich ~ Leave a comment

The Cave of Night (#231) (840)

Are we feeling isolated, stuck in places we’d rather not be… or, at least, we want everyone to believe that? Both a metaphor and something very real, we’ve all entered the Cave of Night, and the music around us is starting to reflect our state of mind.

It’s a New Year’s Eve story (sort of), about having to spend this time alone, wanting to get away, and reflecting on strange occurrences around us. We close with a Cookie Recipe and some Richard Brautigan, of course.

Enjoy!

“Nov 1” b/w “Halloween Candy”

“Nov. 1” by Crackerbash

I listen to this song every November 1st.  It’s by Crackerbash, a little known Portland band that I only got to see twice.

But they were really, really great.

There’s some stuff available if you want to start digging.  I recommend this live set from a performance in Corvallis in 1992.

Enjoy.
