"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

I first heard about Zoogz in the Church of the Subgenius' "High Weirdness by Mail" book (though the addresses were mostly defunct by the time I got my hands on it). It's where I first heard of both Negativland and GG Allin, too.

@ Polyus - it's a plucked instrument and evidently it's one of the oldest in the world. there's evidence that the veena was played as early as the 2nd century BC.

Polyus:

I think that's why I gravitated toward the West Coast punk stuff as a loser high school kid, as opposed to the British stuff I thought I was supposed to like. I would read about SST bands and think "hey, they look just like me, they seem like regular people". The Pistols and The Clash were good and all but they said nothing to me, just not my world. Plus I thought they looked kinda silly.
Avatar 10:34am
TDK60:

Polyus: I liked that there were different punk looks, and musics. Conformity in punk was boring but transcended/avoided by many. (And Clash at least tried all sorts of music.)
  10:34am
iiiiekiekeekeike:

Agreed, @ynisv and @WN@9:46 -- but pointing that out is just likely to encourage him to keep playing it. I just switch to the Drummer stream during that and come back later. (This set is freaking awesome though.)

@Krys, is it my imagination or w/newer DJs is there a shift away from a contrarian impulse to occasionally confuse and/or enrage FMU listeners? Is FMU still FMU without that? Is JA upholding a grand tradition as 1 of those more old-school FMU DJs like Irwin and Kenny G.? ;)
