Resonance FM 104.4 (london)

[Anyway even if did reach my area - It would drounded out by an awful pirate 104.6 Time that is full of ghastly garage muzak - and at times has a distorted single that blocks out most of the 104 - 105 range - sometimes of the weekend i have to move my stereo around the room to pick up xfm 104.9.]

Nick Luscombe - Flo-Motion each Sunday 10pm to 1 am. [i.e NOW.]

IDM/ambient/deep house/techno/ some drumnbass and leftfield grooves.

You live in London and have never listened to Xfm - not even John Kennedy's Xposure?

No Resonance 104.4 FM in my area for the month of the May. It just covers "Central London area".

A crap pirate with horible records, naff adverts and amateur MCs - getting in the way with a frequency to close to Xfm.

and Xfm most of the time playing the same crap on heavy rotation that the NME supports, with the exception of a few decent shows/ DJs.

Things different in your neck of the woods, Josh?

What's your local alternative (rock) station ?

'smack village' ?!?!?!

My recent rediscovery of Resonance was thanks to an interview with Adam Hyde (Radioqualia) on Dave Mandl's show (WFMU). I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Resonance was once again resonating, and after a quick search, was glad to find a page linking the stream. I like a lot of what I've been hearing over the past few days, and I'd have to say that it's my number 2 choice after WFMU - and that's a COMPLEMENT!

hehe yeah I'll try and catch that. there's a couple of cuts from him on the sound poem box set that i got.

those resonance ppl are everywhere! they are all uniformly nice and earnest, so steer clear

Now if only they would auction *HIM* as part of their fundraising activities. I would gladly pledge MY ENTIRE WORLDLY GOODS for this. (However, as my entirely worldly goods consists of about £22 and two semi-functional guitar amps right now, I'm not sure how far we'd get...)

That Xollob Park show is cool. They play all the records backwards. (Xollob Park = Krap Bollox... geddit???)

New Kosmische tonight! I think. 9:30-11, Spacekrautndwdroneelectronicwhatever. About time too. I have missed having my weekly dose.

I should get round to listening to some of the other current shows sometime but of my previous favourites there is no Herra Arktinen's pleasingly wobbly late night "Half A Map" wanderings any more and I've been put off the Organ crew for the alarming regularity with which stuff ordered from them gets "lost in the post". Oh, though I do see some Simon Munnery on the listings, might be worth a pop, and I've been meaning to listen to the DJ Wrongspeed show...

Dan Wilson is a genius.

(Either listen through or fast-forward to about the 4-minute mark...whereupon "Pulsar Cannon" starts)

freaky trigger fans will be horrified to learn that the lollards of pop will return, starting saturday march 7!

any idea who does that jangly post-punky instrumental that's used as the intro to the Wire's weekly show?

Yeah, it's a Rhys Chatham piece - 'Guitar Trio':

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDHUtZ4WoE4

Not sure exactly what version that is, but it's probably his most well-known work.

From 1977 - it's kind of a proto no-wave thing I guess.

BTW if you like that, it's worth checking out the Band of Susans (some of whom played with Chatham iirc) who were kind of a more rock version of what Chatham was doing:

xp no way! thanks for that. i'm familiar with Glenn Branca's work and always figured Rhys Chatham would sound similar, but that's not the answer i was expecting at all.

Quite a bit less symphonic than the Branca I've heard, sounds more like a dance score I think.

incidentally, that Chatham track has always reminded me of a certain other track which has always been on the tip of my ear's tongue. it's now clicked that it's the Red Krayola's 'Woof'.

will there ever be another series of a slug of time :/
