Thierry:
Good afternoon! Absolutely gorgeous, this Anton Batagov. Do you know the rest of his discography well? Is it just as good? | |
|

Liz B.:
Hi everyone and welcome! Thierry, this is my first encounter with Anton Batagov, but someone wrote "Russia's Terry Riley" on the CD, so that sounds like a nice endorsement to me. |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 9:14am
Thierry:
Great find, Liz! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 9:16am
Cheri Pi:
I agree Liz- it was haunting and loopy, the Buddhist references were perfect too as I just rediscovered my Buddha box over the weekend. | |
|

joe supernaut:
Love that Batagov ever since I heard you play it a couple weeks ago. Nice! | |

this is awesome...who is this mysterious "h." artist? | |
|
|

Mon. 7/16/12 9:30am
Liz B.:
I'm a big fan of h. Lots of great songs on the FMA: freemusicarchive.org... |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 9:31am
DCE:
great, thanks, will do my due diligence! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 9:32am
Thierry:
I finally found what 'the 35 Buddhas' reminded me of: Lee Ranaldo's 'Shibuya's Displacement' where he records the arrival of the subway train at Tokyo's Shibuya station. Will check h. too. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 9:38am
dave of geese:
i've been really enjoying the buddhas too, since hearing it on wfmu.i got it off soulseek-- i cant seem to find the actual artifact for sale anywhere though-seems like the kind of thing i'd like a "proper" copy of- anyone seen it? | |

ah thanks Liz there is no physical incarnation of it then for old people? | |

Liz B.:
We've got a CD here, Dave of Geese, it's on the Tummo label, dated 2001. |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 9:57am
dave of geese:
ah good- I'm getting one! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 9:59am
Cecile:
ha, Liz, a friend and I were just talking about Buddha boxes this weekend. I got the iPod app, but it needs some more options like pitch and speed controls. Oh, and me not having crappy headphones. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:01am
Cecile:
dave of geese, if you want an actual box,email Liz. I give her my OK to give you my email address. I'd be happy to set mine free. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:01am
Cecile:
send me some music and pay postage, and we're set. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:02am
Cheri Pi:
We have a local guy in Cincinnati (Rheed Ghazala) who invented circuit bending, he gave a radio interview last night and was talking about different ways to manipulate the Buddha box-mine is the Throbbing Gristle edition so it sounds pretty good w/o too much interference. but why not push it? | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:03am
Cheri Pi:
*Reed* | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:04am
dave of geese:
ah thanks Cecile-- so you have an actual copy of the cd? | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:06am
dave of geese:
i could send you a 3eese cd if you'd like? | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:08am
Cecile:
I think Scott did that on his show, too. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:09am
Cecile:
no, an actual Buddha box. I don't have the CD. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:09am
Cecile:
If that's what you want, s'cool. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:11am
northguineahills:
I just have the original FM3 Buddha box. It makes for good dj fodder.... | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:13am
Cecile:
I am trying to slough off my things that are redundant, not used and are wanted by others. So the Buddha box can go if someone really wants it. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:20am
Cecile:
it's so funny to hear the rock music of my young years described as "jams". That usually was reserved for the funk-floorfillers of the day, when we would do the bus stop with onions attached to our belts, which was the fashion of the time. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:23am
Thierry:
I am learning about this Buddha box here (where was I all these years?). Has it been a big craze? | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:24am
Cecile:
For about 3-4 years, I think. I first heard about it when they were giving them away as fundraiser premiums here on 'FMU. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:25am
northguineahills:
No Joy is joyful, has a nice 90s shoegaze appeal to it. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:26am
Cheri Pi:
I don't know if it was a craze but it definitely is a fun novelty item to play with- they were for sale at some of the good U.S. record stores a few years ago | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:27am
Cecile:
this "rejected" is great. Are they from Ohio? It sounds like it. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:30am
DCE:
it's more like an "ohio stink" that gets on ya. anyway, I've not heard of them before, Cecile. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:31am
Cecile:
You know it's a very Midwestern tragedy to not want to eat sausages. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:32am
Chris from DC:
This is a great set. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:32am
Cheri Pi:
I"m ffom Ohio (not originally)-I thought it sounded kinda Awesome Color-ey | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:33am
Cecile:
I love this song. It sounds like the Seachers, with very 21st century lyrics | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:33am
Cheri Pi:
I needed this Sonny song right now. | |

Liz B.:
Scott & Charlene's Wedding are from NZ or Australia. |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:34am
DCE:
that's just down the street from Ohio...on a universal basis! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:34am
Cheri Pi:
Cecile-your NZ radar is pointing towards Ohio- either way it's win/win :) | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:35am
Cecile:
With the Eddy Current Supression Ring and these guys, it seems like the young uns are worshipping Ubu and the Electric Eels instead of the Stooges. Very interesting! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:37am
Cecile:
ha, they also have a song called "gammy leg." lololol | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:37am
Cheri Pi:
I had a good old fashioned Ohio people's problem the other night when couldn't decide if I should play Pere Ubu or the Clean- naturally I played both. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:37am
DCE:
wow, did Ennio Morricone work on this one with the Fresh and Onlys? | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:38am

|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:42am
grubbus:

|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:42am
DCE:
there's a few cans back of the fridge, BSI, but...next time! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:42am
Cheri Pi:
Beer!! sounds good right now BSI- Monday morning shandy? | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:45am
BSI:
capital idea! simply capital! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:49am
Cecile:
WOW. does anyone know what the reaction to this has been in the Ethiopian community? This is pretty great. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:54am
DCE:
now this, this is Ohio. At its stinkiest. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:54am
paula pc:
i think this is the wrong speed, or in FMU terms, an "alternate slower speed" | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:55am
paula pc:
and I agree with DCE -- and Liz your show is so GREAT today!!! (as always, but more so) | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:56am
Cheri Pi:
Yes-that was every Ohio band on every Ohio drug mixed together- nice. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:57am
Chris from DC:
Had a pretty nice Belgian ale yesterday that was good for early in the day. Maybe not this early, though. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:57am
Jennique:
Does "Si Se Puede" mean "pour the wine"? Because that's what I'm thinking when I hear this. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:59am
Cecile:
I think it means if you can... someone might want to confirm. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 10:59am
Cheri Pi:
yesterday I had a pint of Flying Horse for breakfast with some cocktail samosas-I had to shop at the Indian carryout due to laziness. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:01am
Cecile:
I had gorgeous beers on Saturday - a Fulton summer pilsner and a new beer Steeltoe Provider - a unfiltered ale that was a cross between a belgian beer and a lager. Good stuff. And both breweries are within 10 miles of my house. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:01am
northguineahills:
Cool, finally the new Laetitia! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:02am
BSI:
In this climate, it's probably never too early. ...and Viva Laetitia. Always a pleasure. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:03am
northguineahills:
@Cecile: yes, I think it means if you're able/can. (depending on context) | |

Cheri Pi:
That unfiltered beer sounds like heaven Cecile. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:04am
northguineahills:
Hanging out w/ you guys are turning me into a tasteful alcoholic (like I wasn't anyways). Stereolab broke up after Tim and Laetitia broke up :( | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:06am
Cecile:
It was really good. We drank it with happy hour poutine and this wonderful nacho-like dish called "deli debris" at Rye Deli in Mpls. It's a perfect resto - a Jewish deli with a deep fryer and a full bar. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:07am
Cecile:
They also make canadian faves like smoked meat and poutine. Re: Scott and Charlene - I found out that it's a Melbourne guy who moved to Brooklyn. Victoria is a suburb of Melbourne. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:07am
Cecile:
No kidding! I love Clare! | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:09am
Cecile:
hahahah I think people who study traditional foodways should be called forklorists. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:09am
Chris from DC:
Rodenbach. That's the Belgian I was thinking of. Great stuff. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:11am
Cecile:
It was so hot this weekend that I drank four beers over the course of 8 hours on Saturday, and I was wiped out the next day. bummer... | |

Mike East:
I didn't drink nearly enough beer this weekend. Maybe 3 on Friday, 2 on Saturday...pitiful. Working the weekend really takes away from my enjoyment of life. But on the bright side, I'll have more money to buy better beers. | |
|
Mon. 7/16/12 11:24am

danceworthy! | |

Mon. 7/16/12 11:24am

...whereas I'm wondering if a few early-afternoon ales would help with the flowery prose of resume cover-letters over here...? Hm..... a strategy hatcheth! | |

BSI:
@cecile: i'm not a web guy but did a down-&-dirty free thing. http://tinyurl.com/7jw4rnh -- figure i'll try for more magazine stuff and/or music freelance, what the hell. It ain't very elegant but it's something. | |

Mon. 7/16/12 11:50am
BSI:
thanks folks. Got a couple of other cd covers for The Muffins that need to join the pile. My problem is I end up doing those for friends, gratis, since I love the music. Helps the portfolio but it don't buy daddy no beer! | |
