Normal Love coming to Lincoln!

Flyer courtesy of Bad Robot Brain

It's been an exciting week of Normal Love-related activity in Lincoln this week. Last Sunday on the Other Music show, we interviewed band members Amnon Friedlin and Evan Lipson about the new record and upcoming tour. In case you missed the show, you can download the interview here.

A few of us Nebraska folks were trying to choose between a road trip to Iowa City or Lawrence to catch them on tour, but then the Iowa City date didn't firm up. And Darren Keen has graciously added them to a show this coming Friday, August 10 at Knickerbockers here in Lincoln instead! Here are the details on the show:

Normal Love, Touch People, Fuchsia Minutiae, and Woven Symbol
Friday, August 10, 9PM-2AM, 18+
Knickerbockers
901 O St, Lincoln, NE

You can join a Facebook invite for the show by clicking here...

It's a short lead time for the show, but I hope Nebraska can come out to support the most inspiring and provocative album of the year!

By the way, we also debuted a track from the upcoming Psychotic Quartet album on the radio show on Sunday. "Cordyceps" will be released in September by New Atlantis Records, along with a batch of other stellar albums. Check them out! I recently reviewed their album on Eh? Records, and both of these albums are essential documents of modern improvised music.

For folks reading in other parts of the country, here are the rest of their current tour dates:

8/4 Meaford @ Electric Eclectics
8/6 London @ Sweet Magic London Festival
8/7 Lake Michigan (Muskegon - Milwaukee) @ Lake Express Ferry
8/8 Madison @ Dragonfly Lounge
8/9 Minneapolis @ Hexagon Bar

8/20 Cleveland @ Now That's Class
8/21 Ithaca @ The Space

Mike Pride overview and Other Music interview links

Picking out Mike Pride tracks for Other Music proves to be a difficult task!

As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we've had awesome interviews on the last two editions of Other Music. On 6/24/12, we had an interview with Kevin Burkett of the Electrical Guitar Company, who told us lots of interesting facts about building aluminum guitars, as well as an historical overview of aluminum instruments. Dan Jenkins of Ideal Cleaners also joined us in the studio for a live "aluminum jam," over which I did some spoken word chatting about all things aluminum.

You can download an mp3 of the Kevin Burkett interview here.

And you can download the aluminum jam here.

Last night, we had an interview with drummer and composer Mike Pride, who discussed his many bands and projects, including a Kickstarter campaign he's currently running to produce a recording of his Drummer's Corpse piece. As of this writing, there are 21 days left to reach the funding goal for the Kickstarter--check out the link above for more information, and you can sign on to help make a recording of this crazy cool piece happen.

You can listen to Mike's interview on Other Music here.

While I'm thinking about Mr. Pride's work, I wanted to suggest a few albums from his back catalog that I think readers of Words on Sounds would really dig. While I haven't reviewed an MP-related album since I ramped up the reviews on this blog last year, I've been following his work for years, and I consider many of his recordings to be an essential part of any contemporary jazz/experimental collection. Pride has an enormous back catalog of recordings that might be daunting to approach at first, but here are five of my favorites to get you started:

Dynamite Club - Fusion Era
The newest recording by Mike's avant-rock/punk/math trio, "Fusion Era" pummels you with 12 tracks in 20 minutes, but it has more notes, humor, and attitude than most albums can hold in an hour. Mike and guitarist Kentaro Saito share vocal duties, while the low end is alternately covered by Evan Lipson (Normal Love) and Jesse Krakow (Time of Orchids). The physical pressing features awesome packaging and album art, including lyrics and liner notes printed on four insert cards. This band put on some of the best shows of the mid-oughts, and this recording ably captures the intensity of their live show.

Bunda Love - Beards & Calves
This double CD is a collaboration between Pride and Portland, ME improvisor id m theft able, manipulating four years' worth of recordings into an indescribable onslaught of EAI and noise. The perfect makeout disc for your next Furry party!

Whoopie Pie - Sweet
Whoopie Pie is a trio featuring Bill McHenry on tenor and Jamie Saft on electric bass, along with Pride behind the drumkit. Saft and Pride really take this project from jazz trio territory into passages evocative of drone and thrash music, with distorted bass tones and relentless percussion. And McHenry is no slouch either, adding great melodies and Ayler-esque wails over it all. If the idea of Sunno))) covering "Spiritual Unity" gets you excited, hit yourself with some Whoopie Pie. By the way, pop the CD in your computer for some bizarre videos of Maine folks hitting one another with the venerable desserts...

Period - Period
This is a devastating 1-track improvisation between Pride and Extra Life/ex-Zs guitarist Charlie Looker. Balancing impulses of brutality and austerity, Period is a must-listen for fans of both Pride and Looker, its weighty improvisation giving insight into the compositional impulses of both musicians. A Funhole Records and FuckingA co-release, the physical edition of this album is out of print, but you can buy the digital version for just under four bucks on Pride's BandCamp site. By the way, the other records in this list of recommendations can be bought directly from Mike--just click here. Period has finished more recordings, too, which I hope to hear soon. In the meantime, you can visit the Free Music Archive for a few live sets that will give you an idea of their direction after the s/t release--Chuck Bettis and Darius Jones are also featured on these live sessions.

Andrew d'Angelo Trio - Morthana With Pride
This album isn't a "proper" Mike Pride recording--he's sitting in with d'Angelo's brutal Morthana unit--but it features some of Pride's most intense scream vocals, power electronics, and drumming on record. Listeners of the Other Music show will probably recognize the opening track, "My Prostate," which I've spun several times. I love the harsh free-jazzcore of this unit, and though Morthana has been dormant for a while, at least we have a couple of recordings to remember them by.

Enjoy your explorations into the diverse Mike Pride catalog, and let's hope the Drummer's Corpse Kickstarter campaign adds another killer recording to the list!

More Other Music radio news

As mentioned before, tune in this Sunday for the "Aluminati edition" of Other Music. We'll be spinning music made on metal-fabricated guitars and basses, and we'll also be interviewing Kevin Burkett of the Electrical Guitar Company. We'll have some local folks in discussing the aluminum guitars they play, too, and maybe even jamming a bit live in the studio.

The following Sunday, July 1, we'll be interviewing NYC drummer and composer Mike Pride about several of his recent and upcoming projects. I've been a fan of many of Mike's bands and projects for almost a decade now, and he has some really cool stuff in the works. We'll also be playing some of his music during that show, but just to get you warmed up, check these out:

You can listen every Sunday from 10-midnight on KZUM, 89.3 FM in Lincoln, NE, or streaming anywhere via http://www.kzum.org.

Other Music updates and playlists

I haven't gotten a chance to post any playlists for the Other Music show for a while. We've had many interesting changes afoot that have demanded our attention:

--Malcom is on hiatus, coming in only occasionally.
--New DJ Joseph has joined the show, which is very exciting because he has great taste and an amazing collection of early electronic music, EAI, krautrock, free jazz, and much more. We're getting both more beautiful and more bizarre every week!
--we've been in the new studios for about six weeks. There is more room and more equipment, and lots of potential for live-in-studio performances in the future!

As always, you can tune in every Sunday night from 10-midnight Central Time. We're on 89.3 FM in Lincoln, or you can stream the show anywhere from http://www.kzum.org.

Other Music show, 4-8-12

We got a real Easter egg in Lincoln yesterday in the form of Tatsuya Nakatani being added to an early show at the Bourbon Theatre:

Because of the timing, we hoped that it might be possible to have him stop by KZUM for a little time on the Other Music show, but it didn't quite time out. I did get a chance to pick up a few of his newest releases, though, and we got a nice long track on the air. Here's a partial playlist for the Other Music show, 4-8-12

Ppartyzan Vs Prominenttongue - Nicoffeine - Lighthealer Stalking Flashplayer

Mercy - Time of Orchids - tour remix album

Posers - Frankenixon - Depth Perception

March madness: Dereck Higgins, and KiC on Other Music!

A couple of important things that I need to share with everybody:

Paul Banks of Killed in Cars will be on this upcoming (3/25) Sunday edition of Other Music on KZUM. Tune in 10-midnight central time at 89.3 in Lincoln, or streaming anywhere at http://www.kzum.org. Tune in and enjoy! We always love having Paul visit.

Speaking of the Other Music show, THANK YOU to all of our listeners! We're told that we got many generous donations to the show and the station through internet donations last Sunday! We sincerely appreciate your support, and we'll continue to do our best to bring you creative music and innovative programming in the coming year. Soon, we'll be in the new KZUM studios at College View, and we're excited at the possibilities for bringing larger ensembles right into the studio for live-on-the-air performances. Here's to an exciting 2012 at Other Music!

Finally, I want to bring your attention to a record that's sure to sell out quickly, in case you want to grab a copy: Dereck Higgins, a great musician that has been a pillar of the Omaha music community for many years, just pressed a copy of his "Dereck 3" album on 180 gram vinyl. It's a limited run of 250 of some very personal solo music of his, and it's sure to sell out fast. Dereck explains how to order it in the video below, which is a real tear-jerker. It's absolutely heartwarming to see how happy he is with the way the album turned out. Enjoy the video, and follow his instructions at its beginning if you want to track down a copy:

Other Music playlist for 3-18-2012

This week featured some truly top-grade material on the Other Music show, as it's pledge drive time!


By the way, we didn't get any calls during the show--a first during the pledge drives since I joined the show. But a lot of people donate to KZUM online, and we don't know about those until later--thanks to all who might have donated that way.


And if you haven't donated, but you'd like to show support for shows like ours and others on KZUM that provide a forum for creative, compelling music to be shared on the radio regardless of "commercial viability," then you can still pledge, too! Just go to http://www.kzum.org and click on the "donate" button. Any help is greatly appreciated, as the station is about to relocate.

Other Music playlist for 3-4-2012

John played a set of music in tribute to Jeffery Randall, Joseph played some gleaming specimens of musique concrete through the ages, and I spun a wide variety of music tonight, partially inspired by things-that-arrived-in-the-mail this last week from Northern Spy and Zappa.com, and also inspired by more recent finds at Lefty's Records...

Other Music playlist for 2-19-2012

I've received a surprising number of "power trio" submissions lately (guitar/bass/drum trios), and it turned me toward a fun search through my collection, reflecting on the many power trio-based albums I've loved over the years. This Other Music show was inspired by my search--I did an hour of instrumental power trios, one song per band, but I actually put together 3 hours of 1 song-per-band material for more shows later. It's amazing how much potential the humble power trio has to make music inclusive of many styles, genres, and approaches. Soon I'll be posting a review of four recent power trio submissions that particularly grabbed me, but for now, here's a playlist that includes a track by each of those bands. See if you can guess which four I'll be covering in more detail...
