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.

Brian, have you ever been to a Sonic Protest event??? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:06pm
Matt from Springfield:
The girls he dates use him for free fast food? I should just take burn victims to Burger King on a date--seals the deal.. | |

ha I found my Christ Child album the other week. Still haven't played it. Still need a better turntable. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:14pm
das:
Christ is kicking my ass over here. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:16pm
Matt from Springfield:
Hola Cecilia! Do you need a new needle, is the speed off, or is it just a general problem? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:19pm
Cecile:
It's just sloth and untidiness. And the fact my turntable is about a billion years old. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:19pm
fred:
@paula pc: he missed it again. But next year I'm sure he can even have a DJ set there if he wants to. My fave track on that Sonic Protest comp: Puech/Gourdon/Bremaud | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:20pm
Mr Donut:
yay! Welcome back BT! | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:21pm

@ fred - merci! I need to check this year's comp out, I can see... | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:23pm
fred:
@paula pc: might not be all that easy to find, but I think most tracks will get played on this very station, eventually Were you there this year? | |

I wish i could come to ApiUiz, but it's to many work time on my side… | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:34pm
Matt from Springfield:
Did you meet BT when he was in Paris, pierre? Anyone else here meet our roving DJ in Europe? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:34pm
fake herman cain:
where is Uzbekistan? & who is in charge? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:35pm
Matt from Springfield:
The noise with the Stones' "Emotional Rescue" bass--keep forgetting about this track but remember that one fragment. Prob because I was trying to figure out where I'd heard that bass before. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:42pm
fred:
@pierre: no way you can miss this! We'll be giving them grief for years over this -- and already started -- with TF1 as a sponsor to boot. I'm sure you can spare that time. There's a chance another great Ian Saboya project (le cercle des mallissimalistes) will play in Paris July 1. But no word of a Chocolat Billy gig :-( | |

Hey Pierre n Fred, great to hang! I forgot to say that after the DJ thing i walked up the street to some Senegalese restaurant and there was an insane rockin show going on, JB-style leisure suit dude running down the aisles singing thru booming PA --- Paris ruled! |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:45pm
fred:
@Matt: we both met BT after his DJ set in Paris. I heard him offer to have a session with the band who played after him, and that could be amazing. They're part of Headwar, one of the best French bands right now | |

Yes! So great.... |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:52pm

@Matt: their name was "les morts vont bien", but I don't think they have anything out. But they *might* put stuff on the FMA someday | |

I think they said their LP was out this week, wanna get that sucker...great great set. |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:54pm
pierre:
@ Matt : i even was wearing my Brian Chippendale t shirt :) @ Fred : i'm afraid, this is going to be difficult, i'm stopping work around 03.00am these days… Oh yeah, the singer from "les morts vont bien" has the FMA adress now, she has to do it :) @ BT : glad you enjoy your stay, that means i'll be able to offer you more wine next time ! :-) | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:56pm
fred:
@BT: They came close to playing on Keili's show last year. What ruined it is that they played in a 21+ venue first, she was too young to get there. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:57pm
Matt from Springfield:
Awesome, glad everyone had an amazing time! I hope to do a WFMU meetup in a very distant place someday! :) | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:57pm
pierre:
@ BT : could you record the "leisure suit dude" ? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:59pm
fred:
@Matt: if you select Paris, pierre volunteered to organize meetups there, he's the one to contact | |
Tue. 5/8/12 3:59pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Brian: Yeah, the visuals on that Senegal dude are...wow! What kind of music? Rock/soul, "traditional" African, a dancehall like beat? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:01pm
fred:
Filastine keeps being great, I'd love to see him again, he was really good when I saw him live | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:02pm
Brett W. Thompson:
Filastine sounds great! | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:03pm
northguineahills:
Yeah, I haven't seen him (Filatine) in almost 4 years, I believe w/ Rupture. He's always onto new stuff. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:03pm
Matt from Springfield:
Well I still want to go back to London, and I've always wanted to ride the Chunnel--with such a strong FMU fanbase in both I would definitely contact for meetups in both cities! Pierre, I'll call you on the Mat-phone in case I'm in Paris! :) | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:07pm
pierre:
You're welcome in Paris, anytime Matt ! On that topic, one of the great thing about the radio, is that, i've been a radio listeners for a long long time, and since i know wfmu, i keep on wanting to meet people related to this great thing, it's awesome to meet people talk about whatever, and share some drink. It's social media made flesh ! | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:13pm
fred:
@pierre: it might take some more prompting to get Krine and Nico to get stuff on the FMA. Can anyone upload music there now or would they need a curator? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:13pm
Andy S.:
Cosmic coincidence: I was writing something about Michael Chapman and listening to the show online when suddenly you started talking about him! Thanks, BT, for your continuing support of this great and underrated artist. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:14pm
Andreas:
Gutted I missed the Chapman show Brian, sounding great. Excellent seeing you and hanging out in Glasgow tho. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:16pm
northguineahills:
I think I was at Tonic thrice a week from 2000 until it closed, april 14, 2007. Fun place to randomly show up, and more then likely would have good music. Fun place to dj too. I really miss that place. It was my cultural sanctuary. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:17pm
fred:
@NGH: so where do you hang out now? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:17pm
Matt from Springfield:
Great Slavic folk! | |

Hey Andreas --- killer to see you too! Sink the Bismark! Good thing not too much of that, the prop plane to Dublin next morn was rattling my skull the way it was.... |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:19pm
Gene K:
Great song by Yanka! Also to check out Grazhdanskaya Oborona (trans. Civil Defense), one of the first and most influential Russian/Soviet punk bands. Yanka was very much affiliated with them during her musical career. Thanks! | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:23pm
Andreas:
Yeah, that stuff is for rare occasions and small measures only I think. Heading down there just now actually to catch up with Ruaraidh and Cheer, so I'll have to catch up with the rest of the show later. Have a good one. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:24pm
jt:
wow, that yanka track was amazing | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:25pm

Seems Brian is everywhere but Sonic Protest. You have to fix that, BT. | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:27pm
earwax:
Does anyone know where there is a translation of the Yanka song? | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:27pm
Matt from Springfield:
Thanks Gene for that great bit of history! @paula: Yep, thanks and acknowledgments to WFMU people (Brian, Irwin, Irene Trudel, Jason Sigal, Terre T et al..) can be found all over the web, on amazing bands' pages! | |

Go Benbecula! (I don't know anything about the label, but I know Benbecula is one of the distant isles of Scotland!) | |

@Fred, there no longer seems to central place for good shows w/ a sense of community. I just show up at random shows any more. | |

Yanka Dyagileva track was great and now I have to go through her stuff. Later and thanks. | |

Dug that Alec Cheer greatly. Boss is away today, so I can comment! | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:34pm
Ruaraidh:
Cheer rules! Especially cos it's his round! | |
Tue. 5/8/12 4:35pm
fred:
@NGH: that sucks. I guess the only way to really measure how precious these places are is to lose them. Which sucks too | |
