Let Your Juvenile Impulses Sway: Transmission 82, 2013 December 10
Monday Dec 30, 2013
Monday Dec 30, 2013
HEY NOW. This is the first from a large backlog of recent broadcasts--prepare yourselves for an onslaught. It feels good to break the silence with an episode that gives me good feelings.
If you haven't been listening live, I might be so bold as to believe that you have missed me. I will assume [optimistically? IDK] that you have been listening, and haven't missed me. So, in this "verbal" portion of the post, I will try to provide value for money. What money, you ask? Exactly.
The Smiths are the reason why I do this, why any of this matters to me. It could have been a number of other artists, had circumstances been different, but they weren't, and it wasn't.
I am not and have never been Punk Rock. I grew up 3000 miles from CBGB and I was eight years old when The Sex Pistols said "fuck" on television. California-style "punk," as embodied by Black Flag and Dead Kennedys, was hilarious and energetic but ultimately just bad rock and roll, which, as Mark E. Smith has said, the music was never meant to be. That Music appeals to me as an abstraction and as an energy. It's essential that it happened. I might appreciate its actual manifestations more if it had happened during my crucial years, but ultimately I'm glad that it didn't.
Like any intelligent consumer of music, I had to leave the mainstream to be happy. So--if not punk per se, then what? Fortunately there was a really good station for me to listen to in my teens. I could hear Cabaret Voltaire, Cocteau Twins, R.E.M. [naturally], The Replacements, Husker Du, even Chris & Cosey, 23 Skidoo, Section 25, 400 Blows, Dub Syndicate, and so forth. I enjoyed all of these, but didn't identify for whatever reason.
Receiving Hatful of Hollow as a Christmas gift one year changed my life. Yes, I was black and straight, and the singer was white and gay, so it was an odd obsession. It went beyond the "finally someone is singing about my life" story that you hear from so many people, although that was important. The band had everything that mattered about punk, or was supposed to matter--the integrity, the intelligence, the refusal to play along--without sucking at the same time. I loved that they didn't make music videos [at least for a while]. I loved that they were in complete control of the record art. I loved that they didn't put garbage on the B-sides. It was as much about what they weren't as what they were, and most of the time they made exactly the right choice. It is silly to invest emotionally in a band--even this one, as it turns out. Young people have, for the most part, grasped this. But in the 80s, when it mattered who a person's favorite band was, The Smiths came along and convinced me that independent music was actually important.

[minutiae]
Strangely, when I actually started doing shows at that station, I never found myself playing The Smiths on air. They didn't fit the "style" of the program I was doing. I was not one of those people, of whom there were many at the time, who believed that Smiths songs should never rub shoulders with other bands' music. Remember them? I actually lived with one such person for a year or two.
He affected a slight English accent. He was from Contra Costa County. He was funny and literate, which was why I liked him, but he was also the stereotypical "mopey, bedsit" type who gave Smiths fans a bad name. I never saw The Smiths' music as unmasculine or "miserablist," but I am pretty sure this person did and liked them on account of it.
The two of us shared a bedroom. He had posted a Wilde quotation above his bed. But--he had written out the quotation by hand, in cursive, and written "Oscar Wilde," also in cursive, and in big letters, underneath. One night we were having a party in our apartment. A girl and I had retreated to the bedroom--just talking, of course, NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED (didn't I tell you Morrissey was singing about my life?)--and my roommate walked in. The girl turns to him and says, with formidable coolness, "So Oscar Wilde wrote you a note?" The exposed, terrified look on his face--now THAT would be worthy of a Morrissey lyric, and it would be knowingly hilarious, as most of them are.
By the way, he and those like him are right--Smiths songs don't play nice with others. But such people are often insufferable nonetheless.
[/minutiae]
ANYWAY, this was a great show, even if it does establish me once and for all as "an 80s-90s guy," and even if the "B-sides" concept was a pretense to play that Smiths record, and even if the story about giving vegetarianism a try on account of Morrissey is more than a joke. You have to take me as I am.

A frigid night, indeed, served as the occasion for A Bombastic Complication part 2. This time, I finally got around to playing something from It's a Crammed, Crammed, Crammed World, which I had advertised for the last such program and then, typically, neglected. I also had my first "actual" John Peel moment--because it wasn't just "mistakes" in general but, specifically, playing records at the wrong speed, that was his specialty--when I forgot that Presage(s) was actually a 45. So, a good night?
I certainly enjoyed this program as it was happening. In retrospect, though--Artery? What was I thinking? There were probably children listening. Who am I kidding? No one was listening, except you, maybe, right now. There was lots and lots of 4AD stuff in this program, too. [Sigh.] Moving on--at the moment of writing, it's a dreary 40-degree afternoon in Ithaca, long on unseasonal rain and short on holiday cheer. I'm a bit down on the selection at this moment. At some point this will feel proper. Maybe when it snows again? At any rate, you should never discard a mixtape, because you never know when it will be the exact thing you need to hear. May this serve you in a time of need, friend.

I looked forward to this program, and revel in it retrospectively. That's a win-win! "For Ladies Only," tonight's "Physical Evidence" courtesy of Killdozer, is a straight-up classic, and my only regret about this show is that there wasn't time for one last song.
Did mistakes happen? Oo ya, you betcha. Do I care? I am going full-on Lou Reed, as interpreted by Steve Albini. I am just very anxious to play Killdozer, and that spills over, both early and late. Lady Catharsis was in a non-hacking mood this week and chose two songs that I love, including one by Hall of Legends inductees Stereolab, who have been in the "news" lately. I wonder what Pharrell Williams thinks of "Changer." Wait, no I do not.

[GUEST POST]
Friends and lovers of Bombast, I waggle at you once again. Please find attached the second program that I did, on another day when there was a spare hour to fill at WRFI. I can hardly believe they allowed me on the air again, but these things happen.
I cannot get it together to assemble a website like this one, where Kid Catharsis generously allows me to post my archived programs. Like many others, I try to live within Soundcloud's limitations. Right now I can only post two hours' worth of material there, and, wonder of wonders, I have done a couple of broadcasts in the past two weeks, so room must be made.
It's been such a long time since I've heard this set that I have no idea how much, or what kind of, joy it might contain. I do hope you find some in it!

Well, well well, as R.L. Burnside would say. It definitely felt good to do a show at night once again, and I think this was one of our finer outings. Whether true or not, it seemed like a while since we'd given Pixies a spin, so they provided the "Physical Evidence," and I did my first "spoken word piece over music" mix, something I used to enjoy doing quite a bit.
So much radio has happened since, even though it has only been a week and a half, that I have no specific recollections about this program. Does that mean I didn't mess up anywhere? That would be nice, but I'd be a fool to guarantee it.
The program is aging--hopefully like a fine wine. It feels strange to see certain artists come around again--a new EP from Brassica, another reissue from The Durutti Column, etc. This was bound to happen, but I am, as always, emotionally unprepared.

I Think the Sunlight Is Confusing Me: Transmission 78, 2013 December 1
Tuesday Dec 10, 2013
Tuesday Dec 10, 2013
Here is a rare daytime program that I did in someone's hour of need. Or was it the station's? How desperate must one be to call on BOMBAST, I wonder? No fun staring into that void, I am sure. Anyway, guys, I'm trying to save the new material for the mothership program on Wednesday nights, and in December I always fall victim to nostalgic impulses, so I thought I would do an "all-compilation" show.
If you've been listening at all, you know that as much as I hate to make mistakes, I consider them part of the magic of radio. There's a LOT of magic in this program, you guys! Holy cow, hour two--I have no idea what happened, but it's pretty wild, on the "excellence in content and technique" front. At any rate, it is a thing that happened.
This would be a good place to write something about how my love affair with the compilation began--insofar as we consider "good place" within the context of this site's function as a diary while I am alive and Virtual Me once I am not. But I'm in a hurry today, and way behind on episodes, and I am hoping that there will be a truly special occasion in the future where I can rhapsodize about that.
In the meantime, enjoy retro December! Brace yourselves--there's a lot more where this came from.
[UPDATE: ha ha, "Butterfly Catcher," good lord.]

Man oh man, who knew Thanksgiving week could be so crazy? The amount of radio I have been doing is outpacing my ability to keep track of it, much less document it. Nevertheless, here is one more mixtape.
I have always found that holidays like this outlive their usefulness by the time evening rolls around. You are looking for something to do, an excuse to get out of the house, etc. During those periods of my life when I have been doing radio, I have enjoyed doing it at these times. This was no exception, and I was gratified to receive a few "real time" reports that others were enjoying the program.
Are there mistakes on display here? You hardly need to ask. Thankfully, I couldn't remember them offhand if my life depended on it. It's all I can do to upload this one. Happy hunting.

Parlour of Evidence: Transmission 76, 2013 November 27
Thursday Dec 05, 2013
Thursday Dec 05, 2013
It seems like it's been forever. Have you missed me? Or have you been listening live all this while? At any rate, this program happened one short [and long] week ago, on the eve of Thanksgiving, the program's [observed] birthday. Lady Catharsis and Catharsis Junior sit in, and occasionally say things.
"Physical Evidence" and "The Listening Parlour" converge in a catch-all feature I'm calling "Parlour of Evidence," because I am just that imaginative. Anyway, Lady Catharsis brings in The Early Recordings by Opal, about which I have a conspiracy theory that [surprise!] is as interesting as it is completely wrong. Turns out that Mazzy Star record technically has a 1990 copyright, which would date it a year later than The Early Recordings, which would of course mean that the Opal album capitalizes on nothing at all. Memory is a funny thing, and so is spoken word salad. My bad.
There's an inexplicable technical glitch that makes the last two minutes of "Grains of Sand" a new and interesting experience. Apologies for that too.
