Silliness and Seriousness: Playlist for August 3, 2009

This week's show started off on a very straightforward note, just as any regular Juxtaposition Jukebox episode. Yet, when my good friends Chris Kerr and Chris Genovesi came in to guest on the show, things got very interesting to say the least, and a giggle fit between all of us occurred after one song (you'll have to listen to the show to find out which song it was). Featured on this week's program were sets of experimental music with CJAM music director Chris White's Fortunately Everything Dies project, essential industrial, classic jazz from two Miles Davis proteges and another innovator, two requests from both Chrises from the golden era of hip-hop (or the golden hip-hop era of our childhoods), and a black metal essential.

Here is the playlist:
1) Fortunately Everything Dies- This is the Dream of Eno and Vangelis (Censored)
2) Fortunately Everything Dies- Girls Heart Noisecore (Censored)
3) Scottie's Cut and Paste Project- I Never Get Enough [The Greedy] (S/T)
4) Loop 2.4.3- Zodiac Dust (Zodiac Dust)
5) Throbbing Gristle- Hot on the Heels of Love (20 Jazz Funk Greats)
6) Pigface- The Good, The Bad, and the Druggly (6)
7) Wire & Light- Fading AM Radio Signal (S/T)
8) Eleazar vs John- When You're Built Like That (Pits in the Sandblaster)
9) Thelonius Monk with John Coltrane- Epistrophy (Live at Carnegie Hall)
10) Herbie Hancock- Watermelon Man (Headhunters)
11) Duke Ellington- Warm Valley (Money Jungle)
12) Lost Boyz- Renee (Legal Drug Money)
13) Dead Prez- Hip-Hop (Lets Get Free)
14) Melanie Fiona- Bang Bang (The Bridge)
15) Bathory- Equimanthorn (Under The Sign...The Sign of the Black Mark)
16) Thor- Vancouver Millionaires (Sign of the V)

Coming in two weeks to the Jukebox is the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis- Kind of Blue. I suggest you folks check it out, because it will be a golden jubille worth listening to.

Playlist for Arpil 6, 2009

Today's show was alright, but the inability to play one track was a bummer to say the least, since it was intended to be a focal point. The track in question is John Carpenter's 'Porkchop Express' from his 1986 film Big Trouble in Little China, with Carpenter's scores from Halloween and Escape from New York also getting airplay. Alas, only 2/3 of the Carpenter block was completed, and I apologize to all the Carpenter fans out there hoping to hear the tune. Other soundtracks included are listed below, from noted films to films with a marginal cult following.
Films played a key theme to today's program outside of the soundtracks. Agalloch's- 'The Hawthorne Passage' freatures samples from Alejandro Jodorowsky's Fando Y Lis, while Der Eisenrost mainman Chu Ishikawa served as composer to many of Shinya Tsukamoto's films (such as Tetsuo: The Ironman, Tokyo Fist, and A Snake of June). All of these movies are works of art, and I'd recommend people seeking them out.

1) Agalloch- The Hawthorne Passage (The Mantle)
2) Voici- Rossignolet (Bette & Wallet)
3) United Steelworkers of Montreal- Making Babies (Three on the Tree)
4) Provincial Archive- Night Sounds (Nameless Places)
5) John Coltrane- Resolution (A Love Supreme)
6) Clifton Anderson- We'll Be Together Again (Decade)
7) Ann Southam- Noisy River (Pond Life)
8) Aphex Twin- Fingerbib (Richard D. James Album)
9) Der Eisenrost- White Way (Armored Weapon)
10) Venetian Snares- Calvin Kleining (Filth)
11) Hermann Kopp, Dakarti Lorenz & John Boy Walton- Menage-a-trois (Nekromantik Soundtrack)
12) John Carpenter- Halloween Theme (Halloween Soundtrack)
13) John Carpenter- Escape From New York Theme (Escape From New York Soundtrack)
14) Vangelis- Blade Runner [end credits] (Blade Runner Soundtrack)
15) Johnny Greenwood- Prospector's Quartet (There Will Be Blood Soundtrack)
16) Lhasa- Anyone and Everyone (S/T)
