So, the tape on now is the one on (your) right. For some reason, it's very hard to photograph -- kept on coming out blurry.

Really?!? You mean this instant or recently? It's a fine, fine LP, with amazing cover art.

Yeah, this cassette itself is kind of pricey these days, unfortunately. Anything on this label (Grafika Airlines) is well worth hearing.

and speaking of reading -- anybody have any book recommendations for this type of music (discogs calls it industrial/experimental/minimal) from belgium, etc?
  1:10pm
Dean:

Do you mean books about this type of music, or books to be read while enjoying this type of music?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:12pm
Ike:

@Tony, I switched from Daleks to kittens when Rob W. said he hoped a cat would win the FMU mascot contest this time. I had to add my visual support for that.
Avatar 1:14pm
Tony Coulter:

@ JtotheK: Hmm. That's a tough one. There aren't a lot of books on this type of music, though there were plenty of zines devoted to it. I guess you could start with RE/Search's "Industrial Culture Handbook," if you're not familiar with that one. www.researchpubs.com...

@dean - i meant books about this type of music; but would also be open to suggestions about books to be read while enjoying this type of music!

If "about," and if industrial isn't too far afield, there's Assimilate: http://salexanderreed.com/assimilate/

Tony Coulter:

Hey, βrian! I certainly had my share of pommes frites when I was in Belgium a few years back. What really got me excited, though, were the north sea shrimp. Have never been a shrimp man, but those hooked me in.
  1:23pm
Dean:

You're welcome. I found it by searching a library catalog. I don't know the book myself. As for what to read, well, I've been reading acting theory lately, which means I've been reintroduced to Antonin Artaud, and I see that Assimilate refers to Artaud, so I'd suggest...Artaud!
  1:25pm
Dean:

Coincidentally, Jaap Blonk gave a concert in San Francisco on Halloween night. A friend attended. He said the main work performed was a recitation of a text by Artaud. In the spirit of the holiday.
Avatar 1:28pm
Tony Coulter:

Anyone who likes this Mecanique Vegetale tape would probably like this too, methinks: www.discogs.com...

It's Belgian electro-experimental whateverness from the '70s
  1:28pm
Dean:

You could also search a (probably large) library catalog for:

belgium fiction

...and you'll get results including novels, short stories, etc., from/about Belgium. E.g., http://oskicat.berkeley.edu/record=b23067953~S1

Not sure, but I think a snatch of an Artaud recording pops up on that Jean-Claude Charlier et Son Orchestre tape.

I just learned that Korngold's Die Tote Stadt is based on a novel, Bruges la Morte by a prolific 19th century Belgian author whose name is the same as a good beer: Georges Rodenbach.

The joke, of course, is that there are no postcards from Arrakis. And yet there are postcards from Asbestos, in Quebec.

By the way, this Pseudo Code single comes sans sleeve, but with 2 postcards. I stuck one of the postcards on top of the single for today's playlist photo.

Peter Nelson's show, Eclectic Music for Mind and Bodhi, is up next on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
Avatar 2:38pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Dean: Ah yes: Arrakis is a planet in "Dune." And Bene Gesserit is a character from "Dune." Oddly, Alain Neffe is not particulalry a fan of Frank Herbert – he just likes the sound of the made-up names (or so he told me).

Thank you Tony. Enjoyed the show a lot, especially loved Mecanique Vegetale!

Related trivia/arcana: my friend, the topic of the New Yorker article about his made-up language, long ago published an article with his linguistics professor about the language in "Dune." It, and Magma, were inspirations.

Peter Nelson:

Beautifully strange and relaxing show. Thanks Tony.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 2:50pm
listener james from westwood:

Nobody needs postcards on Arrakis. They just take spice and fold space to get to the other person. And dammit I wish they'd stop doing it while I'm in the loo.
Avatar 2:54pm
Peter Nelson:

I'm going to be a sic-fi nerd and point out that 'Bene Gesserit' is not a character in Dune but the name of a kind of religious order.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:56pm

great show today, thanks Tony!
Avatar 2:57pm
Tony Coulter:

Thanks for pointing that out, Peter! I've actually never read "Dune," so I shouldn't have guessed....

Tony Coulter:

Thanks, JtotheK -- and everyone else!! See yerz next week....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:58pm
iKЄ:

I was going to mention that too, @Peter, even though I never read the books. I love the crazy Lynch "Dune" movie even though it's such a misfire in terms of script and concept. It's so brilliant in terms of creepy atmosphere, design work, and general alien Lynch-iness overall.
Avatar 2:59pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Peter: A heads-up: Won't be playing my out-theme today. It'll be Pseudo Code until the end of the hour.
