Options Brian Turner: Playlist from December 4, 2012 Options

Brian Turner's avatar View Brian Turner's profile Options

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Listener comments!

  Tue. 12/4/12 3:08pm Dan B:

BOOM! Two bangers out of two.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:11pm EAL:

OUT OF THE GATES PEDAL TO THE METAL AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:17pm Rödwolf:

Bon! Killer.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:22pm Matt from Springfield:

Bill Murray! Soon-to-be FDR!

Hi BT! Hi everyone!
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:22pm SteveL:

Divorce: Perfect for work. Turn it up and no one comes close to my office.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:23pm Dan B:

I didn't like this Divorce record on first listen but it's really grown on me a lot.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:26pm ChrisB.:

I don't think I've heard this song since 1968. Sorta Kinks, right?
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:28pm Matt from Springfield:

The instrumentation sounds Kinksy, more so than the vocal.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:30pm amEdeo:

Keep forgetting about that Divorce record. Was initially suspicious of a song called "Bill Murray" but have (thankfully) since then seen the error in my brainways. And ohh, how erroneous they were. Very good record.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:31pm Chris from DC:

From the videos people have been posting, Crazy Horse must have been incredible.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:35pm Matt from Springfield:

Quite an expressionistic work! Kudos to the great 4AD label for issuing this!
(And no, Archive listeners, Scott Walker has not gone 80s/90s ethereal! ;)
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:37pm Sigurdur:

hi there, two guys from Iceland listening in trippy stuff.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:39pm Ike:

I respectfully submit my opinion that this Scott Walker track is utterly excruciating. I'm curious to see how long I can continue listening before I lose what little of a mind I have.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:39pm Dan B:

Total sell-out Scott Walker, he's gone soft in his old age to please the Kokomo crowd
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:39pm Josh:

Look forward to the Knitting Factory recording!
Also, this Scott Walker album is fucking spooky!
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:41pm Matt from Springfield:

I'm not sure if Scott's ever done something this edgy before--if so I'd like to hear!
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:43pm krius ornj:

you have listeners from Kosovo...
Avatar ♥   Tue. 12/4/12 3:44pm BT:

Heya Kosovo! Not Kokomo
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:45pm carbonjoetunis:

i like Ike
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:46pm Andrew Waterloo:

I think we'd be fine with either Mike or Ike
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:46pm Josh:

This is a great follow up to The Drift.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:47pm Matt from Springfield:

Scott got by on pop music in the 60s because he was waiting for the world to be ready for *this*! Andy Warhol was even freaked by this at the time...

It is drawing the international fans! Welcome Iceland, and Kosovo!
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:48pm Uncle Michael:

I'm dying. I'm momentarily constrained from having the sound on here at work.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:49pm common:

powerful record!
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:49pm Andrew Waterloo:

After hearing Scott Walker, referring to anything else as strange feels like hyperbole.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:50pm Uncle Michael:

Matt, I like music from all of Scott's career...literally all of it. For me there was never a time whe he was limited to making music the world was ready for. My favorite Scott album...one of my favorite albums of all time is Scott 4.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:50pm Josh:

Toronto, Canada here too.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:51pm Dubinator:

Damn! Stepped out to Pret Mangler for some eats and I missed Tank! Grrrrrrr!
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:51pm tim from champaign:

I'm glad Rick Rubin didn't get his hands on Scott Walker.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 12/4/12 3:52pm BT:

Me and Noiser will def rock some Tank next week methinks Doob.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:53pm Matt from Springfield:

Amen, tim!!
@UM: Thanks for the rec, not familiar with that '69 album but I'll be sure to look into it.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:53pm Andrew Waterloo:

that was a great transition
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:53pm Uncle Michael:

"Is he still cute??" Lulu from the "30 Century Man" documentary, referring to Scott Walker.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:53pm Matt from Springfield:

I remember this one! The Yoko doppelsinger.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:54pm Carmichael:

Hiya BT. Just in time to miss Scott Walker, dangit. But I'm all ears for the rest of the afternoon.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:56pm Uncle Michael:

@Matt, It's worth listening, chronologically, to everything Scott recorded from the time he discovers Jacques Brel. But don't dismiss the Walker Brothers or even the teen stuff he recorded before the WBs.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:56pm northguineahills:

Every time I hear that Cutler song, I have to imagine it was penned before Thatcher.
  Tue. 12/4/12 3:58pm northguineahills:

I actually liked that Scott Walker, I usually can't get into him. Must be his range of producers and musicians he uses now.... or something.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:00pm Josh:

The Walker Brothers Nite Flights album from '78 is worth listening to as well.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:01pm Matt from Springfield:

I like the Walker Bros stuff too. But even before then--that's a good chrono listen I should assemble. Twould be interesting indeed!
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:03pm kata:

howdy people !! I like this sweet simple O Paon piece. I believe she's a Vancouver BC woman.. pacific NW sweetness...
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:04pm Uncle Michael:

@Josh, the four(?) Scott tracks on Nite Flights point in the direction he has pursued since.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:05pm northguineahills:

I concur w/ kata....
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:06pm andymorphic:

play more of the scott walker....i missed the track :(
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:07pm Carmichael:

I too love Mr. Walker, as a brother and solo. My Ship is Coming In is one of the great wall of sound songs of the 60s. And Scott 4 is the best of the solo bunch, though I like them all.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:09pm Uncle Michael:

@Carmichael...kindred spirit. Though I might pick "After The Lights Go Out" as my favorite WB tune.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:12pm Matt from Springfield:

Proto-doom Obscuro-thrash! EXCELLENT!
*headbangs, air guitars*
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:17pm paul:

i saw MWH opening for Devo last year in Toronto. the singer was definitely wearing a hat.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:18pm Beerbully:

Groovy!
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:18pm BSI:

HOLY BOUNCING LIVERBUGS, I haven't heard this Men Without Hats tune since the album was new... My head a-splode.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:20pm Matt from Springfield:

Reminds me of Modern English, similar production.
@paul: What kind of hat!
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:20pm Carmichael:

I saw Devo open for Blondie last month. They were ALL wearing hats (energy domes, specifically).
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:20pm Dan B:

This is brilliant BT, new wave VDGG eh?
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:21pm Josh:

If interested in SW definitely check out his documentary "30 Century Man"
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:21pm Martha:

Away was the drummer on their Sideways lp. btw - early 1990s I believe -
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:22pm Matt from Springfield:

@Carm: Energy domes work well! Devo's been around a lot lately.
@Josh: UM also mentioned that, sounds pretty good.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:22pm Chris from DC:

Wow, yeah, you can hear the resemblance to MWH there, kinda.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:23pm paul:

i think he was wearing a cowboy hat actually
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:25pm Carmichael:

I saw 30 Century Man via Netflix online. It's available in other places, too (Blockbuster, etc ...).
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:25pm BSI:

He was quite the decent chap at the VdGG show here in DC. Great show as well.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 12/4/12 4:25pm BT:

Me and my friend Andy actually lost our hats at the show but we found them next day
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:26pm Mike East:

30 Century Man is totally worth checking out. It took me a while to get to, but I'm glad I did. That Peter Hammill track was awesome, btw
Avatar ♥   Tue. 12/4/12 4:27pm BT:

Director of 30th Century Man, Steven Kijak was actually here on the show some years ago, check the archive for some good Scott stories...
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:28pm Matt from Springfield:

@paul: That's quite "flaunting" his violation of the band name! ;)
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:28pm seang:

Beantown represent!
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:29pm Josh:

@BT Will check the archives! Thanks!
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:31pm krius ornj:

decibels for gratitude, for sure...
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:32pm Donovan:

Whoa that song was good. Jeez.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:35pm Matt from Springfield:

Woooo Lydia Lunch!
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:37pm Josh:

BT: Any chance this set will be available for download?
Avatar ♥   Tue. 12/4/12 4:38pm BT:

No download, sorry!
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:39pm Josh:

This rules!

This should be released.
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:46pm Josh:

Thanks UM!
Avatar ♥   Tue. 12/4/12 4:47pm BT:

I believe there will be plans for an edited version
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:47pm Matt from Springfield:

Love the live sets with an audience reaction and stage banter! Not that I don't like Live At WFMU sets as well, but you should air live venue sets more often!
  Tue. 12/4/12 4:50pm Uncle Michael:

@Josh, YW

  Tue. 12/4/12 5:27pm Fred:

Lydia sounds like that little girl from irwin's show when she does that deep yell... what was her name....? Samantha...? no, that's not it....
