Ugh. This isn’t music. It’s like the same thing over and over again. And then all this.. what is that sound! This is all vaguely unsettling. But. Uhh hurting my ears. That incessant… banging! It’s annoying. Can you turn it off? I can’t even tell what that guy is saying, it’s so distorted and cut up. Is it important? Is this what you call dubstep? Ok that’s a bit funky. But there’s no way I can last more than 1 minute of any song. You should just get the itunes samples and mix those together. It would be over sooner. Dzh! Dzsh! Dzsh! How are you even supposed to dance to this? I feel like I’m on drugs. Hrm. That’s a little better. Oh no. Oh no. Could you at least turn it down? That sounds a lot like Blade Runner but worse. What! Trance music? Huh. Well, at least the last 3.5 songs are almost tolerable. Please just do some straight up indie rock next time.

Cheezy synthsophone introduces a liquid languid squiddy sent surreal sandwich (Sp? Sic!). A layer of dark and purple spooky glowing tentacles under a layer of bright and pulsing sunshine ventricles. A sauce made of tears, heath gas and the sweat off forlorn entrails. All of this rapped between a solid old school kaiser top and a fresh twisted hip hop beat or two. Ingredients harvested fresh from the solitary rays of sunshine at the edge of a nightmare.

I know this sounds pretty fucked up, but it’s actually pretty incredible. Dive in, yo!

You are at a raucous party hosted by a troupe schizophrenic gnomes who can’t stop hitting things and tossing multicolored rags at you amidst unintelligible freakouts. The host, J-jjj-johntanon, demonstrates how everything in the world is a drum and it doesn’t matter if you have to shatter it to make it beat. The guests join in and the cacophony is thrilling.

You realize that somewhere around 5:14am you became self-actualized.

Back for more! Still without the use of adequate microphone, this episode continues the trend of letting the music speak for itself.

Still playing catch-up as well, following that yearlong drought. So this episode features a bit of an exploration of the Chill-wave fad from last year (unless you want to call it Glo-Fi… no comment). That whole movement, thanks mostly to its bloggy pushers, steams of calculated hipster holier-than-thou pretension; but there’s a great deal of nice sounds in there as well, so don’t worry about it. After the nostalgic summer bits, you’re going to hear some low-key hip-hop, which might be labelled backpacker-rap by your snobby friends (which means it’s for college kids and not drug dealers, or something). Broadly, this set of tunes is meant to serve as a celebration and farewell to hot summer sun and vacation. So whether it’s night or day, in the basement or the beach, close your eyes and lie in the sun.

Ok. A few bits of news: First! New Radioslipstream finally after more than a year. Good. Second! No narration on this puppy, just music. Having some sound issues with the PC right now and not bothering with hooking up a mic. Would rather just get you the music. Because there’s no talking, I made this episode perfect length for a CD, so I guess it’s also a mix CD. Third! This is not the history of hip hop episode. Don’t worry about that. It’ll come when I feel like it and is dependent on resolving some issues with my hard drive. In the meantime we pick up right where we left off.

The last episode ended with a feeble attempt at playing some dubstep. At the time, I had some tracks but didn’t know which ones I loved enough to represent the genre so I played a few tracks that sounded kinda like it. A year later, I’ve got a much more of a handle on the genre. We start with general murky electronics with a pretty ominous bent, then move into a variety of dubstep sounds where we stay for a time. The run of Pangaea through to Scuba is the dubstep bit: I guess it’s something like the dawn of land through to a post-human Waterworld. Very epic indeed. After that it’s a bit of epic artpop at its most oddly delicate, then some poetry and a dash of ambient.

Starting out about as mainstream as obscure music can get, moving into a dreamy synthpop throwback place, a right turn through some right twisted electronic sounds and then some raggadubbadancehall business, and a sinister coda. (feat. the 2500th unique radio slipstream approved tune)

It’s time to rock. A lot of the time on deh sleepstreeeaaammm you’re hearing all this whispy melodic minimal ambient stuff, or funky grooves, or whatever. This time it’s all about the dirty guitars, pounding drums and err… machismo? (though not much screaming, not really my bag). After some of the last 5 years rockingest offerings, I have a sex change (ah modern technology) and travel back to the 90s and get to know some of the mainstays of the riot grrrl movement. I’ll explore my feminine side even deeper by travelling back to the end of the 70s for some original woman-at-the-helm proto-punk, punk and post-punk etc. Remember like 3 or 4 episodes when I said I should play more non-current music? This is where I finally take my own advice. Hope you like it! (Note: This episode has some cussin’ so you might not want to blast it at work. or by that same token, you might!)

Witness! The fastest turnaround since going off the air of CFMU on 10/27/07. Some stranger sounds kicking things off. Dense, odd and awesome, then some slightly experimental folky sort of things, moving toward some general pop rocking. A bit of an eclectic beast for you this time, but if you keep it fed it will give you years of joy.

We’ve been mostly steering away from the synthesizers for a while, so this time I’m going to unbridle a whole mess of smooth/tasty/euro/banging/sexy beats on you fools. The music starts off like a celebration of the edge between cool and hot on a sultry summer night perfect for top down cruising. Then it explores the territory and comes back with some pounding classics, noodly newness and generally steady beatings. I apologize I am definitely getting behind on the show. So so many awesome tracks lounging around in the queue waiting to be heard. I will try to get these gems out to you at a better rate. The slipstream is supposed to be new and great and it’s struggling with the former (but at least the great bit is what’ll count in the long run and it’s looking tip top in that respect).

Thought we missed it, but Spring is in the air. Chartreuse is gradually taking over the palette outside my window. So today the sounds are light (as in lumens) and wispy and/or buoyant. Some great glittering oldies, a few delicate shimmery numbers in the vein of folk, and then some positive, gleeful hip hop (not two words normally associated with the genre, huh). So do please grab a hammock, a pencil and a book of blank pages, and an earful of blooming… Radio Slipstream style.

On today’s show, we mainly look at another side of folk music; a side that is defined as such only for having minimal distortion on its guitars. That, of course, is indie-folk. Since genres mean little, there are a variety of tinges here; from country, to psych, to avant and… beyond?

So maybe ‘world’ music would be more descriptive, but what comparably lame puns could be made with that? … I rest my case. And anyway, why would the traditional music of British and Americans be called folk and that of Nicaraguans be called worldbeat? That’s not exactly fair. That may all be beside the point, though, because while all the music this episode is infused with the musical traditions of cultures all around the world, it’s not necessarily the traditional sort of stuff. Some of it with the modern production and arrangement. Call it worldly folk. And give it a listen, because there are some real gems here.

The first episode of 2009 and the first episode featuring brand new fractionized length! Content-wise wes is tying up some loose ends of 2008. And you know when the last episode is all dancing and electronics that you’re soon due for some REAL pounding drums and some scratchy guitars and bellowed vocals. So today it gets down pretty gritty at first but it does mellow out to the middle and eventually even betrays faint whiffs of synth-pop, chamber-pop and doo-wop.

This guy is my sham summer within this dullest of seasons… you will find blissed out psychedelia, hard-hitting dub grooves, hip hop chills and flows, club beats (not as dangerous as it sounds), and quirky catchy experimental chamber pop. All for the price of 2 hours in the background of whatever vastly important business you’re involved with on the internet/your ipod today.

Starts sparse and wisftul with acoustic and electronic turns, then it hip hops, then it gets down and dirty out in the countryside and town. I would say this episode can generally be described as gritty but still captures a wide array of different sounds. I would also say that it’s a pretty killer selection of tunes and you’d do well to be listening in! … Please?

Hellohihey.. time for some more MUSIC. This baby is muchamore synthesized than the last episode. It starts out tempered and dreamy, then layers on serious doses of funk. Then it scurries around the world, goes into the future and has a little apocalypse (albeit a fairly funky one) before sitting under a tree in the late evening and thinking about what its done.

Also just because I can, I thought it would be neat to give you the option of hearing the show with only the music. An instrumental version of the program if you will… so if you’re interested in that, click on the corresponding little box up top there, or get the file here, along with the cue sheet.

Maybe we’re getting into a bit of a groove with the long delays. I apologize. But hopefully you shan’t be disappointed with the wait. Hopefully the wait will even be seen to have been well worth it? This one starts off in the sun in the country and moves slowly through the quirky rural outskirts and then to the bustle and grime in the center of the city and finally up to the top of a tall building to leap off of.

I know, I know… it’s been an awful long while. I have my reasons of course, but you’ll have to listen to find out. At any rate, this episode focuses on slow, beautiful experimental and modern classical works at first and then settles into ambience and summer dreaming before a bit of summer fun with a hint of pop.

This is a centennial celebration of sorts. If to you an episode is a year… at any rate… one hundred 2-3 hour episodes ago, the little radio slipstream breathed its first breath. Of course if you consider that was 40 months ago, that’s not extremely impressive. But whatevs. It’s basically business as usual, although a little more upbeat: Some screaming guitar kicks, somehow mellowing out to eastern strains of trip and hip hop, some happy summery ditties, and then bringing the party back with some party rap and some quirky, peppy dance tunes. Lame longwinded explanations of moodshifts aside, one thing you can count on and that thing is this: awesomeness abounds.

Apologies for the delay… working 8.5 hour days really reduces the amount of time I have to comb through old music and listen to new tunes and carefully (+ocd-ishly) arrange them into podcast playlists. Don’t you wish I was still a bum? At any rate, until I find a job where I can bring in my own tunes, I’m not fully confident I can keep up the bi-weekly episodes. But I will try!

This week’s selections run quite opposite to the electronicness of last time. We start with some manic, experimental pieces and then settle down into a king-size bed of vaguely folksy reverb that eventually expands into various forms of slightly surreal ballading, before being buried in a grim avalanche of craggy rock and roll.

Phil’s torrent of songs is here (his 2006 one gave me the idea to do my own), and I’d also like to mention that this episode includes the 1000th (and 1001st!) unique artist to be featured on Radio Slipstream.

Radio Slipstream counts down what it sees as the best albums of 2007! The tip top of my top albums of 2007 list that was fiddled with constantly throughout the year (and in its entirety went up to 280…uhps). Sure it’s a bit late, but that just means it’s more accurate a list than everyone else’s, right? Yeahuh.

Read on for the results

25: Curses (Future of the Left)

24: You Follow Me (Nina Nastasia and Jim White)

23: 23 (Blonde Redhead)

22: Armchair Apocrypha (Andrew Bird)

21: The Stage Names (Okkervil River)

20: Five Roses (Miracle Fortress)

19: I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead (El-P)

18: Dirty Acres (Cunninlynguists)

17: Emotionalism (The Avett Brothers)

16: Night Falls Over Kortedala (Jens Lekman)

15: Sole and the Skyrider Band (Sole and the Skyrider Band)

As with anything released on the Anticon label, this disc explores a (non)brand of hip hop that’s likely to rough up your understanding of the genre a bit (broad as that genre might be). Sole spits the lyrics in a rapid, arrhythmic staccato stream that’s not particularly musical but suits his rough voice and irritable mood. The beats from Skyrider are murky, drenched in back alleys and samples of violins, rock, ye oldies, and even opera; layered together it sounds not unlike DJ Shadow or Amon Tobin united with Current 93. Between pounding and sparse, angry and bemoaning, the sound is processed to be raw and the meaning only dimly aware of hope.

14: Spiderman of the Rings (Dan Deacon)

This album is particularly defined by the character of its creator. If I hadn’t seen this video, I might not have put in the effort to see it as pure unadulterated glee rather than something cheap and/or annoying. So he seems all kinds of zany DIY madness, with possible overtones of insanity. In reality, Dan’s got a Masters in musical composition; he’s just coming at things from a unique angle and has quite a wonderful sense of humour. There’s something so unpretentious about this that it can’t help but get me grinning. And championing fun and innocence so honestly without coming off like a self involved ass is pretty awesome. Catchy, in-your-face, retro futuristic absurdist fantasy techno for 6-year-olds. Or something.

13: From Here We Go Sublime (The Field)

Track 7, The Deal, is ten minutes long and essentially repeats the same 15 second phrase over its entire length with minor variation (after a one minute build). It’s also one of the most compelling songs I heard this year. The base sample is so utterly beautiful it becomes enchanting and the minor variations are effortless, but exciting. The other songs follow a similar pattern, though they’re all a bit more active about it. Combining multitudes of bright samples cut down and glitched up over steady backbeats and dripping with airy, ethereal synths, or are those samples, too? You could define it as microhouse, glitch, techno, or even look toward the subtle trance-like epic builds for categorization inspiration. It sounds to me like the brightest sun in the clearest sky shining warmth on the coldest winter ice.

12: Foley Room (Amon Tobin)

A concept album in the vaguest sense, Foley Room sees Amon Tobin setting aside the samples that defined his first four albums and setting out with a mic to record all manner of natural sounds from a variety of sources. The album ends up as a channelled cacophony, drilling itself even deeper into paranoid atmospherics than its predecessors, but occasionally dipping into the melodies of dusty gramophone music. Foley Room is not entirely comprised of conceptually themed samples in the style of Matthew Herbert, rather, it’s a broad exploration and celebration of the varied noisemakers all over our world and how they relate to music. As a collection of music, though, the album is equally successful, sounding almost like a soundtrack for some hundred year old steampunk industrial revolution.

11: Rumpelzirkus (Kalabrese)

Minimal house is a big thing these days. Long, repetitive sleepy dance tunes with little clicks and a light hint of melody. It can be good, even awesome, but no one can ever be blamed for not liking it. Kalabrese (Zurich-based producer Sascha Winkler) takes the template of spaced out house music and decorates it with ample touches of funk, a smattering of dub and techno and some wtf that makes semiminimal music much more fun. He opines about (among other things) chicken farms and the pain of losing his chair, and the tone is irreverent but serious. There are some downright danceable grooves, mixed with quirky experiments and even some compelling melodic swells to satiate most people’s need for purebred enjoyment.

10: Untrue (Burial)

A steady clacking beat carries most of this record by anonymous dubstep producer Burial through the scary, uneasy side of squalid urban nightlife. Ghostly voices of manufactured radio passion fall against the murky thuds and strains of eerie darkness. The songs here often flow together, often seem not too different one from another, but throughout they build on the same compelling atmosphere. It is cold, lonely and somewhat uneasy. Possibly meant for dancing, to me it could only soundtrack a trip onto the dancefloor if it was lost in a hazy, slow motion stupor. The album sounds more like it’s heard from outside the club on the way back home, the cheesepop R&B samples muffled like a fragment of a memory.

9: Andorra (Caribou)

Andorra was carefully constructed entirely on the computer of Hamilton, Ontario native Dan Snaith, who now lives in Britain and has a master’s degree in mathematics. His live shows, and aspects of previous albums, are basically an orgy of frantic drumming and not overly concerned with melody. On Andorra, though, that spastic madness is dipped in a gloopy coat of sunshine and glee—giving us a bright pop record that sounds like it might have come out of a drug trip in the swingin’ 60s. And it’s great! Layers and layers of carefully arranged sounds: catchy, immense, grandiose, sparkling joy. Definitely a record for the summer.

8: Kala (M.I.A.)

Arular, Maya Arulpragasam’s first album, was a miniature sensation. It fused the rhythms of her homeland (Sri Lanka) with the electronics of modern dance clubs while sounding ultra-chic instead of like an awkward experiment in worldbeat. That her father is a Tamil Tiger and her incisive lyrics reflected a view of the world unfamiliar to many also certainly helped to draw attention. Kala continues in much the same way, perhaps moving slightly toward a more Western sound (there’s even almost a Pixies cover). But it’s still heavily informed by musics made to make you move your body, and perfected over centuries (that is, non-western). It can be noticeably repetitive, but if you concentrate on shakin’ that thang you really shouldn’t mind. Maya’s confidence and the swagger in her lyrical delivery is almost as infectious as the lively backing tracks.

7: For Emma, Forever Ago (Bon Iver)

Justin Vernon’s self-released solo record (which he mostly wrote and recorded over four months hidden away in a remote cabin) is a delicate, haunting beauty. It takes the common palette of a guitar-toting folk balladeer (Will Oldham is an obvious point of reference) and spreads it lightly toward soul and gospel, wearing its emotion proud and poignant. Vernon’s voice is raw, even shrill; the melodies, his ardent wails and occasional layers of overdub render it remarkably affecting. Even if the obtuse lyrics leave few clues about many of the songs’ subject matter, the album title itself succinctly conveys the loss and longing contained in the ragged guitar swells, fragile melodies, and straight-up beauty found within.

6: Hissing Fauna, You are the Destroyer (Of Montreal)

The third Of Montreal album since they went ‘hi-fi’ by adding liberal dabbling in synthesized sound to their palette (and 8th overall), Hissing Fauna is a psychedelic and deceivingly upbeat collection of bubbling and catchy tunes. Under that, though, is a starkly engaging retelling of Kevin Barnes’ break-up and trip to Norway, “trying to restructure my character, because it had become vile to its creator.” He speaks with eloquent forthrightness about his emotional turmoil, leaving the listener alternating between empathy, pity, amazement and amusement. Happily, the album isn’t a wallowing, sorry-for-itself tearfest, but rather a celebration of life with all its inherent scratches and scars intact. The hopeful tone only hinted at by the lyrics is reflected in the lilting, squelching arrangements and infectious melodies.

5: The Shepherd’s Dog (Iron and Wine)

Sam Beam’s voice is like cedar smoke from a campfire buried somewhere in the Ozarks. On his last albums that voice combined with gentle swooshes of acoustic guitar, like the song of crickets and warblers. Then it did it again. And again. It was beautiful, but a bit too repetitive. This time around (following stylistically on 05’s Woman King EP), he diversifies the backing band, and to great effect: getting us out of that faraway forest and taking us through households and wilderness, city and country. It all still sounds very rustic and dusty, but with a real drive and energy to get us from one place to the next. The arrangements (lots of pedal steel, organs, accordion, quiet drumming, piano, and still those acoustic strums) give the songs a perfect bed as they lilt, swell and sway through open fields, natural aromas, breezes and candlelight. Shepherd’s Dog gently carries you into another world, one I sometimes wish I could stay in.

4: Random Spirit Lover (Sunset Rubdown)

These songs are unconventionally orchestrated, paced and sung; my brother actually thought it was meant to be funny when I played it for him. It’s a bit like a twisted carnival somehow exploding into music. If you can get past the potentially off-putting uniqueness, though, there are intricate and surprisingly catchy songs with lyrics that are very much worth paying attention to. It’s a bit hard to describe why I like this album so much, but I think it’s mainly the energy, the wild abandon with which the band approaches the strangely epic songs, even through the quiet moments. The grunts, squeals and yelps from instruments and voices alike are touching and invigorating; a display of beauty from an organized caterwaul and a meditation on humanity and society laced with complex metaphor and mythological imagery.

3: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (Spoon)

Spoon has a singular sound, but they’re always able to find a slightly new angle to explore those punchy, syncopated beats from. Gax5 (reportedly named for the sound of staccato piano chords) shows Brit Daniel and friends at the top of their game, sticking to their signature sound but expanding it significantly. It’s more direct than Gimme Fiction and more varied – giving us some nice bouncy horns and also recalling the raw sound of their earlier albums. Discarding any silly comparisons, what GaGaGaGaGa’s really all about is catchy as hell, fun funky piano guitar pop with a deliciously rough edge hiding out below. It’s both a succinct summary of Spoon’s talent and possibly their best album yet—and that’s no mean feat.

2: In Rainbows (Radiohead)

Put simply, In Rainbows is full of great songs. There’s a revelatory joy and soulfulness not traditionally associated with the band flowing through most of the tracks. It is an album by a band who is comfortable with their sound, not trying to shock or surprise us, just playing naturally. The songs are diverse yet contained, rambunctious and climactic or delicate and haunting—sometimes at the same time. That In Rainbows strikes a perfect balance between these extremes and defies easy categorization is a definite part of what makes it a great album. The production helps, too, bringing out a bright, organic sound that sounds to me something like fresh-cut veggies. Just generally brilliant.

1: Boxer (The National)

The National really hit it big in 2007. Their last (and third) album Alligator was a sleeper-hit in 2005; it was largely ignored initially, but steadily picked up fans and accolades over the following couple years until eventually becoming a mini indie sensation (even getting them an opening spot for hipster favourites the Arcade Fire). Anticipation and expectation (hype!) were high for their next album and when Boxer hit the ears of the world, it quickly garnered critical and popular acclaim. The National played at sold out venues, appeared on Letterman, and probably even sold some copies of their new album (research pending).

That’s the macrocosm of the story of The National within the independent music community. My personal experience isn’t all that different. I heard Alligator on recommendation, liked it enough to rank it #5 on my top albums of 2005, then liked it more and more. I fell in love with the band and their strange mystique: the smoky, urban middleclass placelessness. They seemed to me more honest, more listenable and more intriguing than just about anybody else putting out music.

I was anticipating Boxer BIGtime, but prepared for disappointment (because when you follow the number of bands I do, it happens a lot). Boxer, however, did everything exactly right to fuel my fandom even further. So I listened to it constantly and loudly, saw the band twice in concert, hummed and sang along at all hours, and wondered at how I could find such strong emotional connections between myself and the lyrical and musical content of the songs. Ya can’t really ask for much more from an album.

So what is it that makes me spill out such gluts of praise?

First off, the arrangements and musicianship are brilliant. Each drum hit, sigh of distortion, rich bass note… every feathery guitar arpeggio, piano chord, violin tremolo, horn spike… they all rise and fall together perfectly, creating tension, softening, tightening. And despite the rich, multi-layered arrangements barely a note is wasted.

The atmosphere created by the instruments is a consistent one, (and for this, Matt Berninger’s deep voice counts as well). It’s dark; not in the way absence of light creates darkness, but in the way layers of paint create darkness. A darkness made with lightness, richness, and colour still swilling under the surface. Much like the heady and strangely sweet air of the city at night. While consistent tones give the risk of blandness, Boxer keeps moving just enough, between urgent charging and delicate floating, to keep interest piqued and still seem like a cohesive whole.

Lyrics are a very important part of Boxer. Berninger never quite says it straight—he’s got a real knack for nebulous little images that could mean a number of different things, but mean them all very well. “I’ve been dragging around from the end of your coat for two weeks; everywhere you go is swirling, everything you say has water under it,” he sings on Brainy. He dabbles in the details of implied feelings and undefined moments, and applies great number of really wonderful turns of phrase.

It’s a very impressionistic approach, but the picture it builds in the end, for me at least, is one of listlessness in a suburban existence defined by a pre-delineated way of life, and a half-hearted struggle to break that tedium or at least navigate through it toward something partly meaningful or fulfilling. “Another uninnocent elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults.” There are references to growing up and losing the innocent fun of childhood in several tracks. No wonder that, as a recent university graduate confusedly hanging on to the last corner of irresponsibility, I feel I can relate.

My favourite thing about The National’s lyrics on this, and other albums, is the way glints of optimism and humour shine through, even when it’s dry, confusing and absurd, or ironic optimism turned around at the last minute. It’s a lot like life, that way. “So worry not; all things are well. We’ll be alright. We have our looks and perfume on.” The songs feel very real. No posturing, proselytizing or trying too hard. It is what it is, nothing more.

Berninger’s low, languorous voice and delivery fit the lyrics and subject matter, which fits the heaviness and resonant intricacy of the arrangements. It all fits snugly together, both aesthetically and thematically, in a way that’s a rare accomplishment. Some might find the sound of the album consistent to the point of dullness, but Boxer excels because the National adhere to their fairly strict formula and explore it completely. It is a truly wonderful album.

And the drums!

[NOTE: As of Jan 3, 2008, the mp3 has been fixed so it is no longer full of blips and artifacts]

This one’s got a flow, yo! Bit of a counterpoint to the pop and rocking of the last episode… Starting electronic with some ambient and spacey stuff, then into some more thomping dancey tunes, easing back a bit and moving into some odd mellow/raw hip hop, and then into some more polished, poppy melodic hip hop, and why not cap it off with an absolute banger.

Happy Everything.

The final episode of Radio Slipstream aired on CFMU. Nothing new here (except one old favourite that somehow never got featured on the show), just a selection of my most favourite songs. Like a flashback episode I suppose. I worked pretty hard on this, both the show in general, and on squeezing down 3 and a half hours of music into 2 for my final radio program. I hope you like it.

All in all, The Slipstream on 93.3 CFMU occupied 3 separate timeslots and delivered 2037 uniquely excellent songs (and 13 repeat excellent songs, repeated for theme shows or by accident) from 948 unique artists (not including the epic 5 episode 111 song best albums of 2005 countdown -which I’ve disowned because they’re not sequenced quite nicely enough to be up to standard and some of the songs have been repeated since). Now it is no more. It was deemed by ‘the powers that be’ (who are actually pretty cool once you get to know them) that being in London but remotely doing a show on a Hamilton community radio station isn’t in the spirit of things or practical. So, I’m going to take some time off and then bring back the podcast (probably bi-weekly) because I really do enjoy doing this. And then who knows. I also really want to get this website off its ass and turn it into something good-like.

With apologies for the late update of the site, here is probably the most unique and potentially most exciting episode of the slipstream to date. This past weekend I trawled around the sights and sounds of the LOLA festival, with my digital camera in tow, which turned out to have a sound recorder for its damn decent mic. So as it turned out I used my status as a community radio host to get some interviews with various folks. The interviews are occasionally of subpar quality, but I did learn a lot about the process from a technical and theoretical standpoint. I also managed to record a few special LOLA performances, which crop up also (see tracklisting for details of course). And just to keep things lively, behind my inane ramblings, you can hear snatches of many live performances recorded throughout the weekend at Victoria Park. It was thrown together in a bit of a mad panic on Sunday as I was leaving in the evening for Toronto, but I think it’s still worth a listen, and hope you will to. So what are you waiting for.. check it out (on the podcast, or the link above). Also, LOLAfest is a really exciting event and one of my most favourite things of a long while, so it’s worth looking into and encouraging similar endeavours.

Read on for an assortment of videos and pictures that i managed to grab while I was hanging around…

The photos were taken with my Canon S3 IS… and it’s really the first time I’ve taken concert photos with a decent camera, so there was a bit of a learning curve. I wish I’d remembered about changing the ISO setting a bit earlier in the night.

–

By special request (well, that’s what I’m calling it) I was invited to fill the prestigious 6-9 am slot on CFMU this wednesday morning. And this is no ordinary gig. This was live in the student centre with all manner of life swarming around me, and visions also. This was a bit last minute (when factored in the whole moving thing) so I just went with a selection of my favourite sections from the summer shows I did, with special emphasis on the last one, since it was only aired at a really odd time and is one of my personal favourite playlists.

The mp3 of the show that I know I had at some point seems to have disappeared from the face of all of my harddrives..

So it still didn’t air, even though I have the next episode all ready to go. Ridiculous? Yes. However, the Agression Session guy mentioned that tonight was their second last show. I don’t know if that has anything specific to do with the programming director being extremely pissed at them. Maybe their replacement will know how to do simple operations with winamp. One can only hope. Maybe their replacement should be me… (edit: my wish seems to have come true)

So much for summer reruns. Or more accurately, summer silence. I’m working my witty bitty pwaywists to the bone all through the summer holidays. Doing up the show in my basement in London with my dad’s studio mic and sending it through the internet to Hamilton. Of course it’s not up to me to actually put it on the radio, so I can’t guarantee you’ll actually hear it. Like this week.. nada. Those Agression Session dudes don’t like to do what they’re told or something? I guess it’s appropriate..topically? Anyway. I wonder should I bother with a new one for next week or just get this one put on? I’ll let YOU decide.

I’m going to be leaving the high quality mp3s I upload for the station up until the next showis ready, which will be less than a week after this page goes up (probably 2-3 days), so if you want it, get it fast. Someone wants these… I’ve somehow been getting hundreds and hundreds of downloads (confused! but happy!) After that I’ll put up lower quality versions (though I haven’t decided how low.. i might let YOU decide).

As noted in the show, The Slipstream has changed it’s rules somewhat, as summarized below
I, Damon Muma, host of said radioprogram do glibly swear:
1. only play gobsmackingly awesome songs that I heartily endorse the checking out of – UNCHANGED
2. make all the songs flow into each other with ease and beauty – UNCHANGED
3. never repeat an artist in a show unless there is compelling and noted reason – UNCHANGED
4. never play any song that has been played on the show before, ever, unless it is for a ‘theme’ show, and even then proceed with caution (i broke this once or twice by accident) – NOW: never play any song that has been played on the show within the last year.

I want to do some research and find out if my 20-24 new songs a week gives my show’s 2 hours a week more total songs in rotation than your typicalcrapcommercialradio station’s 168 hours a week. I wouldn’t be surprised.

So this was the last show of the year, ostensibly until the autumn, when I shall return to Hamilton. And it turned out to be more interesting an experience than most.

First I got a call in for a request that I felt bad about not being able to fill, cause I’m just that pretentious that I don’t do requests. Or really because I spend hours getting the tracklist just so before the show and it’s fairly unstraightforward to change. Ah well, it was the only request I got and had to deny all year anyway. Then I get another call.. I think it was the same guy, sounding more obviously drunk this time, asking if I wanted to go out for a latte and a haircut. I wasn’t sure if he was making fun of me or it was a joke or what, so I was just confused. I don’t like being confused. But no matter. The sweet tunes are bomping.

Things took a marked turn for the better when during El Wahrania the middle aged Mediterranean (olive-complective) janitor gave me sign language big-ups from outside the studio window. That made me happy. Damn right more people should not be scared off by music that sounds nonwestern, and thanks to Phillip for hooking me up with that and so much other music.

Then during the last set (Augie Morning Pharmacists) Daddy P, (who hosts Dope FM on CFMU and has self-reportedly been involved with various community radio stations for 15 years and I see fairly often because he’s often in the production room during my show (as he was today)), gave me a call because he was really excited that I played Gnarls Barkley (Danger Mouse + Cee Lo if that means anything) and then we chatted more and he said he thinks my show is really awesome and I should do it over the summer (sent in via mp3 upload type deal) so he can listen to it cause he likes it a lot. That made me happy. And I thought heck, why not? The roster is a bit lacking in the summer cause most people just eff off like me. It could do well for weaseling me into a better timeslot. Also, it’s what I like.

So the slipstream might just be continuing over the summer in some form or other. Prerecording doesn’t seem quite as authentic somehow, but it does allow me to be more creative I suppose. Heck, I could be downright silly if I wanted to (do I smell a mumareuther in the works?). Anyway, more news as it comes. And maybe I’ll start posting things besides radio playlists again, wouldn’t that be lovely? Cause oh yeah.. School’s Out For Summer!

Notes: Four Tet = Kieren Hebden = was in Fridge (as was Adem). I actually went and looked that up during the show after I wasn’t sure, and then forgot to mention it. Squarepusher is one of the pioneers of IDM and is really just one guy, Tom Jenkinson, and is (I am informed) not to be made fun of. He plays bass really well.
The levels seemed really too high on the web-stream (hence the blatantly loud mp3 and resultant decrease in quality), but at the station they were where they normally are, if not a little lower. Might be a problem with the stream itself. I’ll try to look into it so further shows are snappier and crisper.

NEXT WEEK!: creepy, terrifying ambience and music in honour of the eve of all hallows. hide the children. suggestions requested! requests suggested! (as long as they’re well in advance)
