pearl (aka Angel Piss)


Pearl (aka Angel Piss)
is another almost but not quite unlistenable mix for you to struggle with.
Maybe it'll make sense like one of those daft messy pictures
you had to "look through" in order to see the 3d picture hidden within
If you were lucky the illusion would miraculously float before your eyes.
Maybe this'll be the same but with ears!!
Or perhaps it'll just induce the painful headache and the irritating feeling
of wasted time that gazing at those magic-eye pics gave me.
I hope its the former.

Here are most of the tracks.

Pink Martini - Sympathique
Ed Askew - 9 Song

firelight



firelight
Got a match? That's better.
Picture the scene.
Dusk by the cavemouth.
The hearth alight.

all lit by the same firelight.

with the morning comes a dawn chorus to win you over.

rape of the wild west end






A lot has changed since those free
and easy Soho Knopflerisms
forever captured in the lines such as
"greasy greasy greasy hair,
easy smile"

What is wrong with a chilled out pervert's cruise
down the old west end?

Nuffink, thats what I say.

But things've changed.
This guy was getting fresh coffee beans
from the old Italian deli before all you Starfuckers
even knew it came from beans.

Anyway, none of that explains the irritating
mess I've made of said track.

Feel free to delete yourself whilst listening...

dire straits - wild west end
fluxion - outerside

Maggot Invasion


Maggot Invasion

In London N7 no less.
This show is hosted by the one and only Dweller.

Well I managed to figure out how to speak/record with ok sound levels
using my DJ software - Huzzah!!
So sorry if I spoil the music for you by opening my gob at the wrong time, you'll just have to lump it.
Oh and mind my language kiddywinks.
Yay, I just found a screwed-up voice link

quietism


shhh, its late

the practise of resigning oneself to mental inactivity

In her hands


You're gonna love this one,
I promise you.
This has proper un-mashed songs,
a pretty good flow,
and no shocking ugliness and harshness.
Yet it will still provide you
with enough of the quark, strangeness and charm
that you expect from
a childwithoutaniPod mix.
There is cosmic optimism at the heart
of this baby.
We open with the "should be world famous"
Columbian band Aterciopelados, what a voice!
I just can't but help smile when I hear these French Doves
sing an English hymn.
A beautiful mystic seashore song from the Scottish greats.
New soon to be released frozen-tech-dub from Denmark's Trentemoller.
Wevie Stonder break the ice in their own inimitable style.
Hall & Oates sing their smooth insincerities and did they steal
Gene Clark's rhythm? You decide.
Gene with his Zen lyrics is masterful in this piece.
Aterciopelados get global again and pass around the pipe of peace.

Aterciopelados - Platonico
Folk Dove - Lord of the dance
Bread Love and Dreams - The strange tale of Captain Shannon
Trentemoller - The very last resort
Wevie Stonder - Gagged & Bound
Hall & Oates - Alone too long
Gene Clark - Winter in
Aterciopelados - La Pipa de la Paz

Lost


If you haven't lost your happy coloured marbles
after listening to this mix then you are made of stronger
stuff than I.

This is a labrynthine mash of moody dark themes and subconscious
triggers. Hopefully it is like a healthy nightmare,
or a risky potholing expedition, you'll be glad to get out the other side and look back fondly saying, that was great but please,
never again!!

LOST
Celebrating the return of the clueless TV show,
this fall.
Celebrating the return of the superb yet frightening
techno club night in London starring Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier,
Rhythm and Sound and Steve Bicknell and a crowd of techno nutters.
LOST
My heart my soul my innocence my grace my smile my light my soil
my grass my sky my fire my hole.
Or as Slade once sang "we all need some lovin' my oh my"

Tracks featured include:

Los Hermanos - Lines of Nazca
Arpanet - Event Horizon

Relatively Clean Rivers - Journey Through the valley of O
Bokaj Retsiem - Pill

deep in green


Hey, I went for another walk on the Heath.
You should go, there are lovely green woods
buzzing noisily with formation hoverflies

She said go home and do a MOFOing mix.
So I did.
Enjoy Kit-Kats.

ride with me






STOP THE PRESS
DWELLER TALKS!!!

Here is first in what will
probably become a parrallel
podcast to accompany these mixes.
This is a much more straight-forward
play tune, talk, play another tune show.
Nothing fancy (yet).

Unfortunately I am very tired and didn't notice
that the sound was being clipped at times.
What I have to say between tracks is rather humdrum and
unenthusiastic, but I promise that this will improve.
I just did this for the spontanaeity factor
that I wholeheartedly believe in and adhere to.

No tracklisting as I mention them in the show.

Hugs and kisses listeners,
this one gets soppy.

Hoylake


Hoylake,
location of the orginal Red Rocks.
My Grandparents lived there on Marine Road.
We spent many half terms,
christmases and eastersin Hoylake.
We'd often walk along the desolate windy beach
and back across the Golf Links.
Now Hoylake along with Lebanon is squarely on the Map
due to The British Open Golf tournament being played there
this week.

I dedicate this mix to wanking in your grandparents
bathroom using the shaving mirror to make your dick look big.

starts off with a little
Black Dog production
Van Morrison who was that masked man
along the way comes Juana Molina
Chambao with desconocido
Magic Carpet - La La
an Erik B for President remix
John Lennon writing She said she said
JJ Cale is crying
King Tubby is there
an Oval meditation
Bread's If
a track from Helios
Hallucinator does some farting
Syd Barrett with a 1974 boogie
USA USA by Blacksmoke
Beatles do a version of Rain
Detroit Escalator Co with Gathering Memory
Anne Briggs is living by water
TV Victor vibes in
Vibrating Cancer Pants from an AMW compilation
Hawkwind has an Iron Dream
Pitman has sugar in his peas
Espers tries to come on the scene
But they're kicked out by Gnarls favourite
Geordie by Trees
they are accompanied by the breeze blowing over the
Hoylake golf links....


NB this list covers more or less everything
but there maybe some I missed.
more instant three-way winamp action
I like this method of production
as there is no room for error,
you cannot preview the tracks
or do any loops or fancy speed changes.
All you have is three tracks with their own volume control.
Mind you,
I really fancied a piece of toast and a cup of tea half way through...

Hallo Party People!
Football

now for the gastric reflux...

This mix was made an hour or so before Tulips,
but the software used left a track out whenever
I tried to get the mix out.
So just now about a month later I had a relisten and figured, sod it
I'll just glue the two bits of mix together,
never mind the missing track.
I hereby name this shit...I mean ship... "Cock Up".

Urban Guerilla - Hawkwind
Dude Ranch Nurse - Sonic Youth
Jup Na Keeeeeel - Boredoms

Its No Good (When you feel bad) - Ween
Is A Dread In A Babylon - ?

The missing track was

tulips - the third way



Instead of using my usual popular dj mix app,
I made this mix using one instance of itunes and
two instances of winamp for some three way sonic action.

So enjoy this atmsopheric,
largely electronic based mix.

I haven't got a tracklist for this one
but it includes
Carl Craig (a few tracks)
Aloe Die + Matthias Grassow
Brian Eno
The Books
Isan
The Orb
Irresistible Force
The Velvet Underground
Coil
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (again, sorry)
Hawkwind
Maurizio
Derrick Carter
The Mighty Diamonds

plus a few other interlopers

(one aspect that got away here was my voice,
I was chatting sweet nothings over this mix with my mike,
but fortunately for you it turned out
I was recording wav sound only.)

neither ER nor Casualty


Welcome to the latest installment of child without an iPod.

Not ER not Casualty, nor Scrubs or M*A*S*H* I might add, but???
This is the clue to the secret last track of this podcast.
Secret because I don't want major record companies sniffing round or cheeky teenagers in hoodies and baseball caps
trying to insult my mixing technique.

This "crazy" HOT HOT HOT last track has one more secret I shall reveal.
I learned from a kind source that this track samples
drums and guitar from a Trees track called "Geordie" from their
On The Shore LP. Listen to the Humpback Whale podcast for another track from this great LP.

Mark Kozelek - Bad Boy Boogie (Bon Scott)
Go Takao - The Morning That Sunset Cicadas Sing
Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust (Joan Baez)

Saturnalia - Soul Song
The Human Beast - Appearance Is Everything, Style Is
The Leathercoated Minds - Puff (The Magic Dragon)
Secret Artist - Secret Title

slip slowly into spring



slip slowly into spring

is it or isn't it?
life on the heath
just me st francis and the f***in birds
and the bitchin rabbits and the birds and trees and
rabbits and dry leaves and wind and the pond light
and the new moon and the blue sky,
I run in heavy boots over green grass
I stand at the ley points
I meet strange phantom women who never speak
lie on a bench view the world upside down
cloudy sunsets again.
again it is spring and yes I did go near the f***in woods

Humpback Whale


Here we go again.
Join me on this exploration of the lesser spotted
folk-styled music of yester-year.
Harsh oceanic reality, sitar whimsy, easyrideresque hazing,
delicate tinkling, then thunder, then rain, an adventure on
horseback, vocal guts, zen beat contemplation, and an historic Indian shanty.

Latina ABBA Parade


Liven things up with this epic Latin funfest.
Intro and outro are heavy duty man!!
The power surges in slow and as the bagpipes
signal the arrival of something tantalisingly holy
the upbeat fun begins - you swing along
into Latin sunshine madness.
You better enjoy the warmth while you can.
You can hear warning signals,
they threaten to break the spell.
Suddenly you look out the window over
the bleak Highbury Rooftops.
The grey dungeon of cold skies darkening.
Brush away this realisation with a stoner rock meltdown.
Yes, it's Sunday again.
