Playlist for April 13, 2009

Today's show was pre-recorded, because I had an exam to write (sorry to anyone who called and requested a song, if there was a call). But this list still covers some great artists, including Electroluminescent, who were fantastic at Phog this past Saturday night. I'll also comment on the reunion album from legendary Dutch death metal band Pestilence titled Resurrection Macabre, which is alright, though I suggest checking out their 1989 album Consuming Impulse instead, which is a death metal classic.

Playlist:
1) Cobalt- Dry Body (Gin)
2) Pestilence- Devouring Frenzy (Resurrection Macabre)
3) Electroluminescent- Ampere (Measures)
4) Shalabi Effect- Mokoondi (S/T)
5) Somos Collective- Tu Sabes De Done Yo Vengo (Todo Fluye Asi)
6) Kiran Ahluwalia- Yakeenan (Wanderlust)
7) Tortoise- Ry Cooder (S/T)
8) Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Motherfucker=Redeemer [Part 2] (Yanqui U.X.O.)
9) Grinderman- Grinderman (S/T)
10) Bohren & Der Club of Gore- Gore Motel (Gore Motel)
11) Mr. Bungle- Chemical Marriage (Disco Volante)

Playlist for March 16, 2009

Lots of goodies from a wide range of musicians this week. In the heavy set, classic Carcass was played in conjunction with their reunion tour, which hit the Majestic Theater last night (I went, and they were a sight to see live), plus a request for Empty Hands, who will be playing at this years Smash the Glass festival on March 27th at the Chubby Pickle. New music from the great Constellation Records came in the form of Land of Kush's Against the Day, paying homage to the reclusive post-modernist writer Thomas Pynchon, author of the nearly impenetrable and grandiose novel Gravity's Rainbow. Sun Ra speaks for himself, as his album Space is the Place is one of the finest and weirdest jazz records ever recorded. Music from Cat Power, Neko Case (her new album is one of the best of this year), and Boris showcased more great musical contributions from female performers that I couldn't fit in one last week's show, and hip-hop legend Grandmaster Flash featuring fellow legendary MC KRS-One spoke hip-hop, as they claim in the song-title.

The Playlist:
1) Carcass- Inpropogation (Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious)
2) Amorphis- Better Unborn (Elegy)
3) Wolves in the Throne Room- Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog (Black Cascade)
4) Empty Hands- The Throne (Winter Demo)
5) Land of Kush- Against the Day (Against the Day)
6) Sun Ra- Rocket Number Nine (Space is the Place)
7) Faust- Apokalypse (Ravvivando)
8) Blah Blah 666- Home Sexuality (It's Only Live)
9) Jeff Presslaff Trio- Having Met Ms. Jones (Red Goddess)
10) Cat Power- The Moon (The Greatest)
11) Neko Case- Vengeance is Sleeping (Middle Cyclone)
