Random Interlude (With Gratitude)

Hi!

I realize it has been a while since we've done an artist feature or review, but that may all change soon.

Look forward to a new, free, downloadable broadcast in the next day or so. I've had my hands and ears full with the organizing of a fantastic new music compilation, but I haven't forgotten about this month's S.M.P!

Just a heads up: Special guest Rick Weaver will be stopping by to record for later broadcast on the show this May! His new solo project is called Four Hands, and we are very stoked about hearing him on the show.

If you ever want to send music for review or any kinds of sounds which you would like to see included in this free podcast series, as always, feel free to send them on down...

Or telepathy is sometimes useful also, though written word has a tendency to keep it's luster for a bit longer.

Appreciate your taking the time to read this!

Best wishes this Spring,

Brigid from S.M.P.

Dinner Music (Rick Weaver), St Louis, MO

Dinner Music (Rick Weaver), St Louis, MO

 
     I wanted to begin this hopefully informative spread fresh off of listening to Clam Date (a Human Conduct Records release), maybe three times in a row. Having recently unearthed my copy from a hidden box of packed goods that I had been keeping in storage, you can now hear all about how this soundtrack tape was like the missing link in my understanding and reconnection to cassette culture and the power of analog. For years, I didn't have an adequate stereo tape listening facility, unless I was plugged into phones. No excuse, I know, but so many great, mind blowing releases from the last couple years being put on hold in my life solely for their "obsolete" format? Unacceptable. Absolutely. And my Walkman was hissy crap, so it didn't help much.

     Now on to bigger and better stereos, (I swear I have a point here), about a year and 1/2 ago, I finally got back to basics. Nowadays, it's rare that I spin a disk that I haven't MP3'd up to my computer, but tapes, records, and lathes have taken those digital files places. Why? Maybe they have more personality. More presence. Maybe the sound of digital skipping is so much more unbearable than the sound of a record skipping. And so on. So now that I can preach with great authenticity about the power of non-digital listening formats, I still hope to convince you of how some of them, way too many to mention here, have changed my life for good.

      Dinner Music is the moniker Rick Weaver chose for his tape spliced, organ and piano infused, drum machine, noise, and sonically all over the place soundtrack recordings. Live, this can be anything from soundscapes improvised to suit the mood of any surroundings, to song performance and re-creation. In addition to Dinner Music, Rick also plays in/has been a part of the following acts: The New Flesh, Form-A -Log, Ruined Frame, Female Topics, and also with Age Wave in the Age Wave/Dinner Music "Alley Vision" cassette collaboration with Form-A-Log member Ren Schofield.

   
     

(Dinner Music Live @ The Bank)

     Multi-instrumentalist, vocal contortionist, and purveyor of the unexpected, Rick's music and label Human Conduct Records, http://humanconductrecords.blogspot.com are steadfast examples of the validity of analog musical archives, and more so, the importance of listening to space apart from time, sounds that rattle, shake, and ease the spirit simultaneously. Why did Clam Date change my life? How have other releases like "Electric Hukam" and "Alley Vision" shaped the way I see and hope to create music as well? By taking apart the complex, and reconstructing atmosphere, sound, and musical influence as one addictive and cathartic listening experience. You really should follow the link above to his label homepage and create your own HCR perspective.

His newest DM release can be ordered and previewed here:

Bathetic Records' New Release: 

Tomb of Comb (Dinner Music)

     Rick lives in St Louis, MO, and can be found working on original film and music projects with the likes of Wendy Hyatt, Larva Lu, and other gifted contributors. Many surprises on the horizon, most likely. Don't say I didn't warn you...

New from Yakuza Dance Mob, Blubber of The Whale EP

Review of the Blubber Of The Whale EP by Yakuza Dance Mob, released Sept 12th 2012

In case you're not already hip to the underground music scene in Birmingham, Alabama, I would like to enlighten you to one group in particular, who's frontman I met at my good friends Erin and Cory's wedding. RD Hardcore had traveled down to Tampa with a friend to perform in another project, and without having heard them before, I wondered how far they would push the limit, music and performance-wise, and what all families and guests present would think. Also I wondered almost aloud, "Is this going to be a noise show?" They did play a trashcan, by the way, pretty sure I'm not hallucinating remembering that.


Then I realized, Lazy Magnet, S2K, Yakuza Dance Mob, myself and Scott Fuxan on the DJ booth... of course it was a noise show. I guess I just thought all of us would abide by some unspoken formal ettiquete due to the fact that it was at a wedding. It was pretty free form, and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time, freezing-for-Florida weather or not. I didn't drink, but I'm sure I remember passing out on the stage of the rented ranch pavilion clutching my coat and waiting to load out around four am.  It was a good night.


When RD, one of the founders of this group, messaged me almost a year later to let me know Yakuza Dance Mob had a new EP coming out in September 2012, and that I could play music on S.M.P. from it, I was very much looking forward to hearing it. But again, I had no idea what to expect. Would it be improv, pre-meditated multi tracking, just him, or with others, I had a lot to be surprised about.


Band members include RD Hardcore, (our man from the wedding), Rev. Jack Ladybird, CJ Afterhours, Scruffs McGee, and Honey Von Trapp. The EP is twelve minutes, forty five seconds long, all seamlesely layered, contains one slide guitar styled remix of the first track, and the last track is a tape reverb deluxe edition with some high floaty, effected vocals and the recycled loop to tie it together at the end. It could very well be the dance anthems five people would produce, should they actually find themselves trapped Pinocchio style in the stomach of a giant sea creature. There is a prevalent repetition, but each variation is different, leaving a hum-a-long, sailor-esque atmosphere to be found within the bars.


Here's a link to their EP on Bandcamp, more from these folks soon:
