New day, new time, same wanky bollocks: BLACK STATIC TRANSMISSION is back to piss and shit on the fringes of contemporary experimental/extreme music.
If the solitary glimmer of hope in your aenemic audio calender this year is the arrival of the new Guns 'n' Roses album, fear not - help is most definately at hand.
Providing the antidote for your progeria-infected ear canals, BST will be easing the pain with an intoxicating, under-the-counter mix of outsider metal, free jazz, psychedelic electronics, gnomic folk and devolved rawk shamanism.
The first session of the season kicks off on Tuesday 28th October at 6pm. Just drag your sorry asses over to http://www.subcity.org and click 'Listen'. That feral child from down the street could do it, so no excuses. For those of you unable to make it to the party on time, all shows are stored as podcasts on the website.
The first goody-bag will contain (amongst other treats) the following fuck-you's to anything vaguely resembling the Ryvita Crackers that relentlessly wear out your turntables at home...
Les Rallizes Denudes - Japan's major psych monster! DIY dub effects, guitar solos like phased helicopter rotors and endlessly repeating post-Velvets downer hypnotism.
Christina Carter - self-issued guitar/vocal beauty from the most chillingly bruised female singer/songwriter ever to ascend out of Texas. Deep pools of black reverb refracting endless beams of sorrow.
CoH - Coil-related avant electronics with a scalpel-sharp approach to editing and sound sculpting. Imagine techno pushed to the furthest fringes of dancefloor possibility and loaded full of mind-erasing hallucinogens and you're not even close.
Albert Ayler - classic 1966 recordings from the biggest influence on Coltrane's later period. Free jazz has never sounded so paint-strippingly harsh and so luminously ecstatic before or since. Food for the fucking soul, right here.
So get on it.
BLACK STATIC TRANSMISSION
Tuesday 6pm - 7pm

White-light psychedelic primitivism sourced straight from the fucking blotter. |

A flurry of technical fuck-ups like, largely due to my own stupidity and 6 months off! BST - walking the genius/retardation tightrope with a total lack of co-ordination.

Another audio wedgie tomorrow (Tuesday 4th November), with some high-grade that looks something like this:
COIL - a mind-flattener from the classic 'Time Machines' album. Analogue synth drone in a universe all of its own - one of the most psychedelic albums ever made. Should come with some kind of fucking warning on the front.
MOUTHUS - gorgeous new self-released avant-rock pummell. The sound of giant sleeping marshmallows playing post-industrial sludge in bullet time. Amazing.
RUSTED SHUT - psychedelic hardcore punk that makes your favourite band sound like Craig David. Beyond harrowing.
PANDIT PRAN NATH - deep indian ragas wih La Monte Youngs and Terry Riley providing drones and percussion for the master vocalist. Jaw/floor interface time.
Been spinning Watain - Casus Luciferi fairly relentlessly too, so expect some brutal black metal at some point. Tasty.
Just head to http://www.subcity.org at 6pm on Tuesday.
All shows stored as podcasts too. |

I'm liking the sound of Mouthus. It sounds right up my street. |

Tonight at 6pm children. Click onto http://www.subcity.org for some of the following coal-black smoke emissions....
KITO MIZUKUMI ROUBER - insane Japanese acid/garage/skronk/rawk in a Beefheart (circa Troutmask...) meets The Oshiri Penpenz/Harry Pussy kinda way. Nasty production, perfect songwriting, and a total 'so-fucking-what' rock n roll sneer. Yum!
KOUSOKUYA with MASAYOSHI URABE - death-decadent primitive psych sludge in the company of outsider sax mastermind. Blunt, static low-end carved open by spectral brass howls and ice-cold feedback tones. Mesmerising.
PART WILD HORSES MANE ON BOTH SIDES - psychedelic drone-based flute/drums free jazz from the UK. Murky, disorientaing and defiantly anti-tradition - fans of everyhing from Taj Mahal Travellers to Chris Corsano will find plenty to chew on.
MIRROR - duo of Andrew Chalk and Christoph Heeman bolstered by Alex Neilson and David Keenan. Excerpts of a ridiculously hazy live performance in Scotland plus some heavy post-production treatments. Constantly shape-shifting and with a more animal edge than most Mirror material.
See you there... |

Time for another wee blast...tomorrow's show will probably contain something like the following...
JOHN COLTRANE - a taster from 'that' album. Coltrane's 'Ascension' will always be one of the most mind-blowingly beautiful and forward-thinking pieces of plastic ever to feature a sax. Form, melody, development, response - none were ever the same again. Stone cold classic.
THROBBING GRISTLE - some advanced/primitive live action from the kings of British Industrial. Mank, curdled entropy of the campest/darkest variety.
THE FALL - John Peel's favourite band. No one sneers like Mark E Smith, and the line-up he had circa Hex Enduction Hour was fucking unstoppable. 2 drummers and the slackest/tightest collection of punk geniuses this side of prime Half Japanese. Rock out with your cock out.
RUSTED SHUT - dirty as hooker's fucking anus, psychedelic hardcore punk with a mind-bending, unrecognisable low-end. Makes Black Flag sound like a children's choir. Primitive doesn't even come close.

Back again tomorrow folks, quite possibly with Kev (listeners with a faint whiff of lavender and piss about them might remember him from the GRIND YOUR MIND days) in tow which may mean a bit more fucking metal. Choice.
Expect something like this...
A mini-feature on Christian-themed psychedelia, showing that the devil doesn't always have the best tunes! I've played FRACTION before (the daddies), so expect some D. R. HOOKER and one or two other tasty holy rollers. Praise be to Jeebus.
KAORU ABE - face-rupturing free jazz from one of Japan's best. Extremely short career due to a heroin overdose at 29 (what is it with jazz and the horse?!), but he left more of a mark than most crusty hobblers you'd care to mention. Previously played with BST favourite MASAYUKI TAKAYANAGI - brave man!
KIKURI - stupidly long-time-coming love-in between MERZBOW and KEIJI HAINO. Don't hink anyhing else needs said here, do you?
Tuesday :: 6pm - 7pm
http://www.subcity.org
If you're really a social recluse with a penchant for punishment, then the show before BST (5pm - 6pm, the name escapes me) is chock-full of tasty extreme metal, so hop on board.
See you then. |

Bump.
Tonight at 6pm folks :: http://www.subcity.org
I've had quite a bit of interest in the Christian Psychedelia feature, so I'm gonna extend it a bit to take in a few more bands.
This might mean that the previous playlist will be a bit off, but it'll be worth it.
Very RAWK show tonight! |
