Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from March 5, 2024 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

I tuned in to listen to BC Sterrett's War Of the World show. I fell asleep and awoke to what I thought was James Burke's voice at around 9:30. No way. But later, turns out, it WAS JAMES BURKE!

I'm guessing Mr.X is not the legendary astronomer (among his many profound skills) who died in 2006. On that note, I saw an advert for NetFlix's version of Three Body Problem wherein they used Carl's voice. Not too sure I like that since 3BP is kind of crap.

hey all!

I remember back in the day, Tangerine Dream was rivaled only by Kraftwerk in acclaim/popularity. But at some point, Can, Faust maybe Amon Duul and Cluster, came sneaking up. And you stopped hearing about TD as one of the biggies of the German scene. Not as hip to mention them. Presumably too dated sounding?
