morning bryce

Fri. 11/6/09 12:12pm From: ?

sounds like one of Bryce's hindustani days, which I need in a major way. keep 'em coming, Bryce.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:13pm From: Carmichael

OK well, here we are.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:13pm From: Ike

Yay, South Asian entrancement!

Fri. 11/6/09 12:13pm From: bryce

yay! :) stuff from the record fair.....

hey, jk!

Fri. 11/6/09 12:14pm From: bryce

and you and you

Fri. 11/6/09 12:16pm From: Cecile

this is very soothing to my cold ravaged brain.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:17pm From: Mr.Headphones

Any Alice Coltrane, perhaps?

Fri. 11/6/09 12:20pm From: Carmichael

Ali Akhbar Khan would also do quote nicely. Or most any other Khan.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:21pm From: Hugo

Time has been suspended ...

Fri. 11/6/09 12:21pm From: Jed

are you mad at me because of the goldfish?

Fri. 11/6/09 12:21pm From: jeff-m

hey Bryce,

thanks this is really beautiful. have like 5 radios turned on listening to this right now

Fri. 11/6/09 12:25pm From: Ike

Jeff has the right idea -- when at home, I always enjoy tuning four or five different radios in my apt. to 91.1 for a piece like this and hearing it coming from everywhere. The downside is that if a DJ starts playing some Devendra or lame fey rare 70s folk or immature death metal then it takes a while to shut them all off.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:27pm From: Jed

we only play mature death metal on our show....he he

Fri. 11/6/09 12:29pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Ike and Jeff, I do that too, but my wife says I'm f'*ing crazy. I love being able to walk into any room and hear a slightly different version (due to speaker qualities).

Fri. 11/6/09 12:29pm From: bryce

radiopolis!

Fri. 11/6/09 12:30pm From: jeff-m

hehe, yeah there is sort of small doppler effect and the shapes or different filter it differently as I pace around and clean house. Unintentional actually,but the timbre and pace of this song really made it stand out

Fri. 11/6/09 12:31pm From: Devin

I'm wondering what Bryce's record is for playing the least amt of tracks in a 3 hour slot.... Bryce?

Fri. 11/6/09 12:31pm From: Parq

A variation on what Ike is saying - at home, I will often turn on the radio before I've turned off the feed (at 9 AM, eg). Usually it's a train wreck, but sometimes I'll get lucky and the two feeds will be in synch - same tempo just a few measures apart. The result, especially for dance music or non-mainstream instrumentals, is pretty cool.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:35pm From: Hugo

Hopefully some Carnatic ragas, too?

Fri. 11/6/09 12:36pm From: Carmichael

You could really skew the Nielsens if you were taking part in the survey.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:36pm From: ?

what'dja shell out for this beauty, Bryce?

Fri. 11/6/09 12:38pm From: BSI

I can't believe it's not buddha!

Fri. 11/6/09 12:41pm From: bryce

hahaa, you'll have to hypnotize me — i bite the stickers off and swallow them as i'm walking away from the table so i can get back to ignoring reality....

Fri. 11/6/09 12:43pm From: arby

i'm an arbitron household, but i don't think fmu embeds the thing that would let my meter pick it up, so unfortunately i may not be boosting bryce's ratings at this very moment.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:43pm From: ?

that much, huh? ;)

I'll have to track that one down myself somehow

Fri. 11/6/09 12:47pm From: bryce

it actually wasn't SO bad! not much scratch in bryceville at the moment....

it's a double on Harmonia Mundi, so it might come up! imrat khan is just.....something or another.....

Fri. 11/6/09 12:52pm From: rudy veena

any ZM Dagar? thanks for making the Fridays flow....

Fri. 11/6/09 12:52pm From: bryce

hugo, possibly! might be something in cds i grabbed on the way out.

devin, if not one.....it's awrful close.

Fri. 11/6/09 12:53pm From: Carmichael

KhanFest!!

Fri. 11/6/09 1:02pm From: Ike

Suddenly I really want a samosa. Unfortunately I'm nowhere near the pizza place in Newark Penn Station which has surprisingly spicy samosas.

Fri. 11/6/09 1:02pm From: peter

prakash?

Fri. 11/6/09 1:03pm From: BO

Yes, we Khan!

..which, of course, is a phrase already hacky-sacked around and T-shirted and image-worked.

Fri. 11/6/09 1:05pm From: Stuart Troutman

next, play something with Vichitra veena, my favorite Indian instrument.

Fri. 11/6/09 1:06pm From: Mr.Headphones

If anyone is ever near the 74th Street -Broadway Stop on the 7 in Jackson Heights, Merit Farms' samosas are out of this world. Fried and crispy!

Fri. 11/6/09 1:09pm From: mike

dulcimer raga?! WANT.

Fri. 11/6/09 1:12pm From: pandit

change we khan believe in

Fri. 11/6/09 1:17pm From: Ike

Hooray, I narrowly avoided being fired (or torn limb from limb) by a CEO/Corporate God of Chaos enraged that somebody [ahem] propped open the inner inner door here at the House of Sinister Domains (and Paranoid Security)! Yay!

Fri. 11/6/09 1:18pm From: JED

LOUD, OBNOXIOUS GRUNT

Fri. 11/6/09 1:28pm From: Hugo

Carnatic ragas can be very fascinating and have been played on such different lead instruments as violin (L. Subramaniam), mandolin (U Srinivas) , electric guitar (Prasanna) and saxophone (Kadri Gopinath)!

Fri. 11/6/09 1:28pm From: Hugh Effen-Bastid

Citizen Kafka is listening and reconsidering the benefits of reincarnation.

Fri. 11/6/09 1:29pm From: Hugo

Sind? We're in Pakistan!

Fri. 11/6/09 1:35pm From: J-Mar

Yes, let's hear some Kadri Gopalnath!

Fri. 11/6/09 1:39pm From: bryce

hugo, yeah, maybe a south indian day? some of the carnatic ragas are so weird and elaborate. talas, too...they really go apeshit with the odd times.

Fri. 11/6/09 1:44pm From: Hugo

http://www.pirecordings.com/artist/Kadri_Gopalnath

Fri. 11/6/09 1:46pm From: Hugo

Bryce, yes, why not?

Fri. 11/6/09 1:48pm From: bryce

oh yeah, love love mr. gopalnath! :) i think i have 7 or 8 things?! they're all recorded so differently! some with heavy slapback echo-o-o-o, some totally dry......

Fri. 11/6/09 1:49pm From: Lawrence

Anyone hear any of the Kitchens of India cds? The one I got was actually pretty good...

Fri. 11/6/09 1:49pm From: Hugo

Fri. 11/6/09 1:51pm From: Stuart Troutman

yoko can't sing like this

Fri. 11/6/09 1:56pm From: bryce

hahaaa. :) stuart, you're going to be happy in a few minutes.

hugo, I MISSED HIM?????
oh, 1987. carry on.

Fri. 11/6/09 1:59pm From: Ike

Ah, L. Subramaniam makes such lovely sounds.

Fri. 11/6/09 2:10pm From: Sven

I know we haven't listened to Kadri Gopalnath today, but since his name came up I thought I'd mention he's performing tomorrow (Saturday) night at Drexel University in Philly: http://www.sruti.org/

thanx for the veena

Fri. 11/6/09 2:19pm From: bryce

nooo prob, st! good timing....

rob, thanks for the info! any idea if he's coming out this way??

Fri. 11/6/09 2:30pm From: Stuart Troutman

by the way, those cd's that come with the Indian food items ARE good, but the labeling is misleading, noting 1 or 2 key players/instruments, but neglecting others.

Fri. 11/6/09 2:31pm From: Chris

Hey Bryce, do you have label info etc for this Lalmani Misra? Beautiful stuff.

Fri. 11/6/09 2:40pm From: annie

made it back just in time for my dose of bryce...

Fri. 11/6/09 2:40pm From: bryce

hi chris, yeah — this one's actually a cd on unesco,

i thought it was still in print, but now that i'm looking, i'm not so sure....

hellloooooo annsky!!

Fri. 11/6/09 2:42pm From: Parq

How damn marvelous to go on a lunch break and come back to find my office filled with this gorgeous music.

Fri. 11/6/09 2:44pm From: Chris

Ah, thanks. Commence Googling.

Fri. 11/6/09 2:45pm From: J-Mar

I had to go online to look something up for work and discovered that today is, yup, Saxophone Day. (http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/November/saxophoneday.htm)

Just sayin'

Fri. 11/6/09 2:46pm From: Rob W

Re: Kadri Gopalnath - found no evidence of a NY gig. I think this is the last show of his tour actually. Although in searching I did discover a potentially useful site with South Asian artist tour dates: http://www.liveisbetter.com/artists/

Fri. 11/6/09 2:48pm From: Jed

hi Bryce

Fri. 11/6/09 2:48pm From: someday.....

bryce, you will play roop verma... someday.. just sayin'

Fri. 11/6/09 2:52pm From: Jed

Fri. 11/6/09 2:54pm From: bryce

dickheadery!!

Fri. 11/6/09 3:02pm From: Stuart Troutman

Mon. 11/9/09 11:41pm From: Myrrh
