X_X
The return of Cleveland artpunk combo featuring John Morton (Electric Eels), Andrew Klimek (Red Dark Sweet), Craig Bell (Rocket From the Tombs, Mirrors, Gizmos) and Matthew Harris. Originally formed in 1978 with Morton, Klimek, Anton Fier (Feelies/Golden Palominos/Lounge Lizards) and Jim Ellis, X_X were originally meant to last six months as Morton was moving to NYC, but recently Ektro Records released the band's output as an LP (with liners by Jon Savage), and lo and behold they are back on stage.

Blues Control
Since 2006 the duo of Russ Waterhouse and Lea Cho have turned traditional psychedelia upside-down on his head with lo-tech (guitar, keyboards, FX, tapes) means to incorporate
a hazy but powerful common musical thread between Conrad Schnitzler's jabbering electronic workouts, the gauze of Locust Abortion Technician-era Butthole Surfers, and the more unicorn-saddling moments of Jan Hammer. Or perhaps, they are driving off in the car piloted by mid-period ZZ Top. Either way, they are great live and on their numerous releases for Siltbreeze, Holy Mountain, Woodsist, and Drag City (and others):

Silk Purse
New NYC noisy-free-rock combo featuring 2/3 of what used to be Sightings (Mark Morgan: guitar/vox, Richard Hoffman: bass, Justin Craun: electronics)

Kyle Clyde (aka Penny Royale aka Kyle Eyre Clyd) has graced My Castle of Quiet with a live performance before, and continues to create transcendent sound art under her various noms-de-art.

Ultimate Painting
Wednesday, October 29th, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show

Ultimate Painting is a new band started by James Hoare of Veronica Falls and Jack Cooper of Mazes. After their bands toured together the two began exchanging demos and getting together for casual jam sessions. That led to some dates opening for Parquet Courts followed by a single release in August and a full-length album, due out at the end of the month on the Trouble In Mind label. The songs have a quiet guitar-driven feel reminiscent of the Velvet Underground or later-period Wire. They're playing at Cake Shop on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 25; if you miss that show you can catch them live on WFMU at 9pm on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Chrome special with Helios Creed
Tuesday, November 4th, 3pm - 6pm
on
Brian Turner's show
When guitarist Helios Creed met up with Damon Edge and joined the San Francisco band Chrome in 1977, the world got an acid-fried, dystopian sci-fi version of the Stooges that blasted out two records that no other band has come near replicating the warped genius of. Alien Soundtracks and Half Machine Lip Moves utilized a Hendrix kind of freeform aesthetic mixed with tapes, feedback, metal percussion and cutup soundscapes all heightening the band's projections of a world of abusive technology and zombie warfare. They later became probably the most unheralded cornerstone of 80's industrial music, and in the new millenium, scores of garage punks have scrapped traditional approaches and followed Helios Creed's moves more than ever. With Damon having passed away in 2005, Creed (who has had a long solo career since 1985) now rechristens Chrome and has released the new album Feel It Like A Scientist. Brian talks at length today with Helios and gets the lowdown on the past and present of this incredible and unique psychedelic punk band.


The Briefs
Wednesday, November 5th, 9pm - Midnight
on
The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
The Briefs blasted out of Seattle in the early 2000s, releasing album after album of some of the most authentic-sounding modern punk rock you ever heard. The band won fans around the world with their take on '77 punk rock that evoked memories of the Undertones, Buzzcocks, Dead Boys and the like. After a lengthy hiatus they've been lured back out on the road by none other than The Damned for an east coast tour that will include a triumphant return to the WFMU studios! Their local dates include Irving Plaza on Halloween and the Stone Pony in Asbury Park on Saturday, Nov. 1. Get out and see them live, then tune in for more punk rock joy Wednesday night, Nov. 5, on WFMU.


Taylor Swift White Noise Remix Context
Friday, November 7th, 3pm - 6pm
on
Miniature Minotaurs with Kurt Gottschalk
On Oct. 21, an apparent glitch at the Canadian iTunes Headquarters resulted in an eight-second file of white noise and silence being made available on for download as "Track 3" from Taylor Swift's upcoming album "1989." The little blurt of an mp3 quickly topped the Canadian iTunes sales charts.

Whether or not Ms. Swift is venturing into the world of sound art or digital culture jamming remains to be seen but that's not stopping us from announcing the TAYLOR SWIFT WHITE NOISE REMIX CONTEST. Download the original track here, bleach it, rinse it, fold it and email the finished product (as an mp3 or download link) to miniature.minotaurs [at] gmail [dot] com by 11/4 (Reverse Information Day). A panel of listeners who donated to Miniature Minotaurs during the October Silent Fundraiser will judge the entries and the results will be revealed on Miniature Minotaurs on Friday, November 7 (3-6 pm).


Mary Lattimore and Jeff Ziegler
Monday, November 10th, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show

After a long collaborative past, harpist Mary Lattimore and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Zeigler have just released "Slant of Light," a beautifully impressionistic set of improvisations. Lattimore’s elaborate melodies are meditatively enhanced by a lush compliment of Zeigler’s tonal beds of synthesizer and guitar. Mary Lattimore and Jeff Ziegler visit Irene's show for a live performance on WFMU.


Big Mama Thornton Biographer Michael Spörke
Saturday, November 15th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
