This week's feature on Christian music ended up being bigger than we expected, with the addition of the mighty FRACTION kicking things off. Cheers to Kev for coming down, though it was hard to fit us both in the room with all that pretension taking up so much space! 
FRACTION - Eye of the Hurricane [ 'Moon Blood' ]
D. R. HOOKER - The Bible [ 'The Truth' ]
FUNERAL MIST - Perdition's Life [ 'Salvation' ]
KAORU ABE - No. 2 [ 'Winter 1972' ]
CURRENT 93 & BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY - Idumaea [ 'Black Ships Ate The Sky' ]
ULVER - A Memorable Fancy (Plate 13) [ 'Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' ]
SIMON FINN - Jerusalem [ 'Pass The Distance' ]
BURNING WITCH - Country Doctor [ 'Crippled Lucifer - Seven Psalms For Our Lord of Light' ]
NAPALM DEATH - The Code Is Red [ 'The Code Is Red...Long Live The Code' ]
If you missed it, it's still up on http://www.subcity.org/shows/blackstatictranmission and will be for a while.
Cheers! |

| The start of that Kaoru Abe track... definitely one of those 'is that an instrument he's playing or is he strangling some sort of distressed animal?' moments. |

Today at 6pm :: htp://www.subcity.org
Probbly gonna blast some of these:
WASHINGTON PHILLIPS - heavenly blues shot skyward with zithers instead of guitars. Really touching and totally unique early American religious music - enough to melt the hardest of hearts.
HARVEY MILK - earthly black blues hammered downwards with guitars instead of zithers. Dirty, primitive and fun as fuck. All hail the Milk!
TUNNEL CANARY - late 70s brain-eroding Canadian pre/post (?) industrial terror. This record has been owning my ass for a while now, and is probably my reissue of the year. Absolutely incredible.
HARRY PUSSY - the only real rival to Tunnel Canary in terms of absolute insanity and sheer feel-good psychedelic liberation, and the only other conender for re-issue of the year. If you have a Sex Problem, you know where to go.
See you then! |

Loving the show the last two weeks. Ulver and the Sunn 0))) and the Boris collab.
Loved the touch of oldschool Katatonia too |

| Hehe, Kev must have been extremely happy with the slow succumbing of Tunnel Canary into the luverly Sleeping Belle. |

Great show two weeks ago, the Christian-themed one, mysticism and trancendent spirituality have been sources for some of the greatest music down the ages. Are the DR Hooker and Simon Finn albums _that fucking brilliant_ all the way through? The Pantaleimon/Andria Degens version of Idumaea (words are actually by Charles Wesley, brother of John) would be my favourite on Black Ships, absolutely devastating (as is her own stuff, often).
Last week - Ignatz, Harvey Milk, In The Woods: yay. Tunnel Canary, Sunn-Boris (don't be fooled Chris, the album's still shit!): boo. |

Thanks again for all the feedback - muchly appreciated, as ever.
This week's show will be like a (very loud) christmas present - you won't know what's in it until you open it up. Could be socks, could be slippers, who knows!
[ ie I haven't been arsed picking a playlist yet - will be just as exciting for Kev and I as it will be for you. What a rush - I'm off to sit down. ]

Last one of the year too apparently, due to some managerial cunts needing the studio for 'training' next week.
Boiled anus. |

Playlist for the last show of the year...quite 'rawk' again, and the original Bobb Trimble version of When The Raven Calls (as covered by Jex Thoth) should appeal to folks on here. And how amazing is that Muddy Waters shit?! Anyway...
J. D. EMMANUEL - Part 1: Attaining Peace [ 'Wizards' ]
THE MICHAEL FLOWER BAND - Balinese Falsehood [ 's/t' ]
SHIT & SHINE - Am I A Nice Guy? [ 'Cherry' ]
BOBB TRIMBLE - When The Raven Calls [ 'Iron Curtain Innocence' ]
MUDDY WATERS - Tom Cat [ 'Electric Mud' ]
BLIND IDIOT GOD - Atomic Whip [ 'Undertow' ]
FRANK JANIUREK - 1 [ 'Electric Sex Goddess' ]
SUN CITY GIRLS - Blue Mambo [ 'Torch of the Mystics' ]
EHNAHRE - Part II [ 'The Man Closing Up' ]
ROXY MUSIC - Re-make/Re-model [ 's/t' ]
Show started early, so the first two tunes will be at the tail end of the Cadaveric Incubator... 'Listen Again' file.
Cheers to all who have listened throughout the year - it's been muchly appreciated.
Podcasts are still up at http://www.subcity.org/shows/blackstatictranmission if you missed any of them.
Seppuku - the D.R. Hooker and Simon Finn albums are really good, but those wo tracks are the highlights I reckon. There's a few too many psych ballads (ugh) on the Hooker album, but when he hits it he's totally amazing - check out The Sea on Last FM or something - awesome.
Finn is pretty amazing, and I reckon if you like Jerusalem and don't mind a bit of Current 93 you'll like it - definately his best album. |
