New Friendship Bracelet Comp! →
Nothing’s better after a long day involving DJ’ing an event for people who fucking hate music than shutting off to some sweet noise.

An Uncontrollable Urge Playlist 1/26/10
It’s taking me a while to get over how nasty that Shining record is.

An Uncontrollable Urge Playlist 1/18/10
Tonight was a night of electronic music. I had a few other things I was hoping to get to, but did not, so hopefully I can fit them in on next week’s program. Finished the show with a 32-minute track from Mandible Chatter. Pretty neat. Playlist after the jump. Randall, J.K. - Mudgett: monologues by a mass murderer - Computer Music - Nonesuch Vercoe, Barry - Synthesism - Computer Music -...

An Uncontrollable Urge on WMUA tonight
It’s the start of a new semester, so I’m starting a new radio program.  Tune in to 91.1FM tonight, 10:00 until midnight for some noisy, experimental music.  Don’t have a radio?  Not within WMUA’s broadcast radius?  No sweat.  Stream it online at WMUA.org. Tonight will be an evening in electronics. There will be Duchess Says.  There will also be Anthony Braxton. There will...

Check out the new Strange Boys Song →
I mean, we already know you like the Strange Boys.  But now they’ve added in some dirty sax, so you should really check out the latest (and only) song they’ve got up on their MySpace.  The chick spittin’ flames out of that thang was in Mika Miko (who I already miss dearly), so we know she knows what’s up.  I’m actually getting really excited about her addition to the...

Final Blank Generation Playlist 1/12/10
Tonight was the last Blank Generation forever… or at least for a long time.  Had fun digging through the stacks looking for all sorts of neat comps, and I found lots of gold.  I’m going to miss doing a rock show, but I look forward to starting a weirdo music program, An Uncontrollable Urge next week, and for the rest of the WMUA Spring Schedule, Monday nights, 10 until midnight. ...

Blank Generation Playlist 1/5/09
Spent the first hour rocking the shit out of things, when I was reminded by our station advisor not to keep to strictly to genre.  So, as soon as I got off the phone with him, I tried to throw some other stuff in.  I’m pretty happy with how this show turned out. Next week is the final episode of Blank Generation.  Don’t miss it.  But then again, don’t make too big a deal out of...

Penultimate Blank Generation Tonight
Tonight’s the second-to-last installment of Blank Generation, after which I will be focusing my efforts solely on another radio program of the same name as this blog - check that out tomorrow night, by the way. I recently lost all of my digital music, so this one’s gonna be fun.  All stuff I’ve found at the station, perhaps with a couple of my own vinyls thrown in as well.  I...
