Have I Hurt You, I Have No Choice: Transmission 328, 2017 March 8

This one went a little more smoothly, probably because I was in less of a mood to talk. Attached is a sound file from a "playlist reporting" period-show, during which I was doing more multi-tasking than usual. But surely you are here for the tunes, and not the chatter, and what tunes there are. This is the fourth in our series of Creation Compilation programs--admittedly an unfocused and sporadic series, like all of our series. In previous installments, I have tended either to Feel Things or Figure Things Out. Let's examine what happened on this night.

Apparently I am a big Ed Ball fan, because I played two of his tunes on this program. I feel like I have gotten a ton of mileage out of "Palatial," and I doubt that I am finished. "Vintage 1990," indeed. I have been marked from the start as That Kind of Guy. Maybe one day I will embrace it. "Snow": there's a graininess to the sound that brings to mind our beloved four-track recordings from that time--I did see a film about Creation at one point referencing the "cheap studios" that they preferred (namely Alaska) and I felt back in the day that this sound was accessible, reachable. "We could do this." (Ron Howard voiceover: "they could not.") The over-the-top vocal delay seems like exactly the sort of thing we would do on our recordings.

It also pleases me that I finally got around to featuring one of these records in its proper season (in my mind), indomitable winter notwithstanding. It is the sound of things coming to life.

No Thoughts, No Dreams, No Wishes, and No Fear: Transmission 327, 2017 March 5

We return to sloppiness and errancy with this fill-in broadcast. It is fitting, given the evening's material, and probably what I deserve. This Sunday night timeslot came open, and I seized it because it provided an opportunity for a birthday observance--David Tibet this time. (More on this momentarily.) The cold had returned, sort of, and I was featuring a record (cd, actually) that I'd been meaning to use as "Physical Evidence" for a while, so I should have been in my element. When I anticipate quality, though, it abandons me.

At some point in the program I mention the fact that the Foxtrot compilation was intended as a benefit, with the proceeds apparently funding Jhonn Balance's rehab. This always makes me sad--that he is gone, and that he suffered. I stopped drinking a couple of years ago because I was tired of being "past the point of discussion," as Peter Christopherson said of Balance on one particular night. I was tired of not feeling things--and now I'm in therapy trying to manage the feelings. I don't know, on "balance," how things are working out with me, but if online Harry Potter sorting quizzes are any indication, I have actually stopped being a Ravenclaw and have moved more firmly into Gryffindor / Hufflepuff territory. Like Dr. Johnny Fever, I am more quick-witted when on the hooch!

Related: on this night my mouth was doing weird things. At one point, when I wished David Tibet a happy birthday, I found myself sounding a bit like DJ Danelectro, which is...weird, and let's leave it at that. Also, when I mean to say "sexual assault," I instead blurt out, "sexual accounts." It is hilarious in a way, but I am clearly embarrassed by this. I go all quiet! I am an odd duck.

Your Septic Heart, Your Deadly Hand: Transmission 326, 2017 March 1

This is more like it. I attach here a pantheon candidate among my broadcasts--at least that is how I feel at the moment, and I am going with it. For a couple of years I've been meaning to feature the L'Orchestre Sidi Yassa de Kayes record, which 1) tells you how good it is and 2) gives you an idea of the alacrity with which I move, generally. As was not the case with the previous week's record, I have no ambivalence about this one whatsoever. Mono recording--as I am pretty sure this is--is kind of fascinating, and this is a clinic, and "tone lawyers" (or even tone paralegals such as myself) will love the guitar sound.

It's also terrific when there are no glaring errors in technique. The quest for excellence never ends! On some days it is hard to focus--this day was unusually warm, somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 degrees F (mid-May weather only a few short years ago) and people around here have a way of going crazy when it gets above 40. A brief moment of horror, it was quickly overpowered by cold and snow, as if winter were a Monty Python character reminding us that she is "not dead yet." One of the reasons for this show's existence is to keep horror at bay at least once a week.

Do What You Dare: Transmission 325, 2017 February 22

I don't want to start a too-specific discussion of how the sausage is made around here, but as I write this I have listened to about a half-dozen terrible albums in a row. (No, I did not know beforehand that they were terrible! I am a pretty basic gentleman with pretty basic methods of self-flagellation.) I am writing this in a bad mood, you guys. Now: will this bad mood somehow embed itself in your experience of the attached mixtape? Do I impart any of my momentary energy into this act of sharing? If I understand a second-hand account of Genesis Breyer P-Orridge that a friend passed on to me, GBP's answer would be "yes." Apologies in advance!

You see, we were discussing--how shall I say it--the work of a certain musician who is a Dodgy Person (not Genesis!). And I wondered whether, shorn of any known background or context, did an instrumental piece "do the work" of said person's belief system? Apparently, the answer went, there is an energy, present in the time and space of the recording, that comes through. I like to tell myself that I'm not a person who believes in "woo," as the hip young rationalists call it, but then I do find more comfort in thinking the universe bears a specific antipathy toward me than in chalking my long trail of misfortunes up to random chance. So all of this seems plausible enough!

Truth: while I like the "Magickal Mystery D Tour" EP quite a lot, I am not a huge fan and have always enjoyed the other post-Throbbing Gristle bands a good deal more. But here I am, record in hand--NEVER SELL--and a birthday observance falls on my night of the week. I tried, really I did, but maybe some of this ambivalence transmitted, because this is a HOT MESS of a show for reasons that (on the surface) have nothing to do with Genesis. Sorry!

Then again, I may just misunderstand the magick altogether and be prone to sloppy nights on occasion.

[GUEST POST]

Dear friends, it's me again, Captain Halcyon, sharing a recording for one last time--"last," for now, anyway. There was some mumbling by Guy a few weeks ago about asking me to take over his time slot, as the darkness recedes; I considered it and for a while I thought I might jump back into the business of being a "broadcast personality." But life is full and I have things to do. What things, you ask? "Secret things." Now is not the time for full disclosure.

Anyway: this is a good mix, and--dare I say it--not a sad one. So I hope, if you're listening, you are not sad. I have a feeling we will see each other again. Nothing is forever.

Captain Halcyon, checking in with my penultimate show from last fall. Winter and the time change were approaching, making the 5 to 6pm hour progressively darker and unsuitable for these sonic flights. At least that is how I feel, and this is my time and space for self-expression. This particular program also happened to fall during the WRFI fundraiser; this week I was joined by the head honcho, the General Manager, Felix. For some reason he mistakenly referred to me as "Jim" --who on earth is that? I need hardly point out that we raised no money for the station. [Sigh.] I suppose I might have to dismantle my aircraft and sell it for parts at some point, which, I must say, is a more wholesome revenue-generating idea than the one kid catharsis has.

Happy Friday, Bombasticons! On this scorching February afternoon I have another recording to offer you. This, again, is from last fall, and that specific period of time that we call "fundraising." If listening to the human voice is your thing, today is your lucky day, because there is a lot of it here. I am joined in the "cockpit" by Drew Hoffmann, who also hosts a show on WRFI called The Slow Drift (it is a better show than mine!). We discuss the Room40 label, local merchants, warm feelings, and t-shirt collecting. And we manage to raise precisely zero dollars! It is a blessing that I am allowed to continue doing this. I'm not sure whom it benefits besides myself.

It's Captain Halcyon, posting again, feeling like I should apologize for doing this so much. This is becoming a residency! It was never meant to be that. However, I have more programs to share with you, and this is one. This was a warm, wet October day; kid catharsis and I are agreed that such weather is the worst Ithaca has to offer. Good to be in the "cockpit" at the station and not airborne. And a good selection of tunes I brought with me--fewer "standards" and more spread out, I think. Natural Snow Buildings--I was wishing for something that was not going to happen, but what else is new?

Today, it struck me that I chose the right "career," because "flight" is my natural response to almost every kind of stress and tension! It explains a lot.

Greetings to all visitors of the "Bombast" archive. Captain Halcyon, here again, posting something because kid catharsis has nothing left to post (at least until he does another program.) Fortunately, I have a modest backlog, so here is a broadcast from last fall. It was a relatively cool day, a nice relief from our intolerable summer, and there were a few clouds as well, if I remember correctly. There are some transcendent moments here, I must say, even if I did resort to several chestnuts at the end. Imperfection is to be embraced.

Some Kind of Crude Brutality or Other: Transmission 324, 2017 February 15

At long last, I present to you the most recent Bombast program. What a messy road it has been, winding back and forth between sloth and panic. Like at least one other "ides" show, I wound up in a foul mood on this night. DO NOT COME AT ME OR YOU WILL GET CUT, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. Anyway, it was a good thing I had in my quiver a record (actually CD) that I treasure for the return of "Physical Evidence."

Turns out, this was not the first such feature of 2017, "truthiness" be damned. I had forgotten all about A Certain Ratio on January 4. Is it an effective excuse to point out that I should have played them in December? I certainly hope so. At any rate, the only other "mistake" in this program was a botched segue at the very end (well, twenty minutes from the end). Oh, and there are mistakes in my personal life as well; sometimes I choose the wrong friends. Statistically, this is rare, which does comfort me. Thanks to all of you for being my radio friends.
