Goddamn this is a pretty sweet episode. Slowing the Jane Heidorn dirge from 45 down to 33 was unexpectedly awesome, using the “create destruction” locked groove from Unholy Triforce’s new laserdisc to back Elijah Muhammad’s proselytizing about Judgement Day was too perfect, and smashing Phill Niblock with Fell Voices made the intense intenser.

I fuckin love that Hollerin’ record, such a weird one, and it went pretty well with Lowe’s drones. And just fyi, both Holly Hunt and Obolus were played at 33 instead of 45, so Holly Hunt got really fuckin sludgy and I might even prefer Obolus slowed down, or at least that song.

And I need to take every chance I get to share this Charlotte Daniels & Pat Webb record. It’s one of my all-time favorites. And this post where I made it available for people to download has become a home to conversation between Charlotte’s & Pat’s friends & family, sharing personal memories, including a comment from their niece to let everyone know Pat had just died. It’s my favorite thing on the internet and is exactly the sort of thing the internet is perfect for.

Not too much experimentation this time. And once again, the recording starts late. I hit the record button on time this time, but I forgot you need to hit it twice so you come in towards the end of the first song I played (Surachai). That happens way too much and it pisses me off to no end, I just hope it doesn’t make you even half as mad it makes me.

Some of the mashups worked amazingly, like Lakshmi Shankar & the Bowles/Verrastro duo (which starts off so seamlessly I actually can’t determine when it started, somewhere around the 20 minute mark). Some fell a little flat, like Mick Barr and the Venezuelan folk music. It was all fun, though. Also, for some reason I was getting the song info for Lluvia off of Discogs and I was looking at a different record online than the one I was actually playing, so I say that I played “La Oscuridad Doth Dar La Inmortalidad” from Premonicion De Guerra but I wasn’t even playing that record. Oops. Chalk it up to me not knowing Spanish and that the info for Eternidad Solemne is all on the inner sleeve instead of the jacket which I didn’t have readily at hand.

I decided to pull all of my A Thick Mist-relevant Christmas records for this episode (which is only 5 but they’re all pretty great) as well as my entire Numero Group collection (which I only got to play half of but oh well, I’ll save em for another day). All in all, there’s only 3 non-Christmas or non-Numero songs and everything turned out just swell.

No A Thick Mist episode next week because the university is closed but I should return the first week of January.

Also, I mention it right off the bat on air, but just fyi, this is a short episode because the building the radio station is in didn’t open when it was supposed to and my secret back door that’s usually open wasn’t so I started about a half hour late. Blame Facilities.

Particularly into the Man Forever track alongside the record of an angry, barking German Shepard. And I just realized I played two religious pieces (Reverend Franklin’s sermon and a Buddhist monk invocation) on top of minimal drone (Celer and Chubby Wolf, respectively). In a mood this morning, I guess?

Once again, I forgot to record the very beginning of the show. I remembered as soon as I finished talking, so that’s all you miss–my introductions. You don’t miss anything from the first song I played.

Got kinda crazy with this one. Started out with the Sutekh Hexen & Trepaneringsritualen collaboration alongside a Day Of Atonement prayer recorded in Moscow’s Central Synagogue in 1956. Then there was the black metal/black spirituals of Zeal & Ardor slowed down from 45 to 33 played underneath Balachander’s extended veena session. And don’t forget the attempted hypnosis on top of Black Boned Angel at the end. Had a lot of fun this time.

Lots of cool layering in this one, especially towards the end. I’m not totally sure when I started playing that Lussuria record because I put it on while Jean Michel Jarre was still playing and the mix was pretty smooth, so the timestamp is for when I stopped playing Oxygène and it was just Ghost Entanglement with whatever other samples I had going. Also, sorry, I forgot to start recording the show until after I had already gotten into the second song. There’s a lot of coordination that goes into getting the show started, and hitting the record button has yet to make it into my routine. So, again, I’m sorry.

I decided to pull all of my Native American LPs (except for the Chippewa Grass Dance Songs one because I just played that a couple weeks ago) in honor of the protests going down at Standing Rock (and also because tomorrow is Thanksgiving, but Standing Rock’s mission is a little more important than our bogus holiday). Instead of the usual pre-approved PSAs that WMWM has me choose from, I decided to talk a bit about the Dakota Access Pipeline bullshit (in a non-commercial radio-friendly way) and mentioned things you could do to help out if you feel so moved. I recommend checking out Stand With Standing Rock for more info, including details on non-financial ways to support their cause, and the official Crowdrise campaign for Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Against DAPL. It’s not too late. While the U.N. has denounced the treatment of the protesters as inhuman and degrading, our federal buy cialis online 1 government has yet to acknowledge Standing Rock’s cause nor the physical brutality they’re facing for their peaceful protesting. Standing Rock still needs your help.

Not an eclectic episode this time. All metal.

I have a new radio show! AGB Radio on BFF.fm has been fun, but I never felt like it replaced the live radio hole in my heart. I used to run Salem State University’s radio station, WMWM, back when I went to school there. Now I work at SSU and am the radio station’s co-advisor, so I figured I’d weasel my way in and start doing a live show.

A Thick Mist will be different from AGB Radio, but still very AGB. Even though AGB occasionally dabbles in the extreme metal, country blues, ethnic folk, and non-music genres, AGB Radio too easily became a home for music that was new and weird. Which meant a large chunk of my musical interests are getting ignored and I miss them. Also, while a pre-recorded show made on a computer is technically capable of handling audio fuckery (like my Halloween Special), it’s incredibly time consuming. Doing it live limits what I can do but it’s much easier and more fun. So that’s what I’ll be doing with A Thick Mist, it’ll be much more eclectic and experimental.

If you’re in or around Salem, Massachusetts, you can listen to A Thick Mist on 91.7 FM. Otherwise you’ll have to stream it live online at wmwmsalem.com, or wait until I post it here afterward like I do with AGB Radio. It will air on Wednesday mornings from 7:00 am to 9:00 am (EST).

The first episode is below. I could make a lot of disclaimers about this being basically the first live show I’ve done in like 8 or 9 years, but the only thing I really feel the need to explain is that I didn’t bring a 1/4″ adapter for my headphones, so I wasn’t able to hear myself during the breaks and it turns out I was way too fucking quiet. Sorry about that. You don’t really care about hearing my voice anyway, do you? And the audio in general is kind of a mess which is due to a lot of things that I think I’ll get figured out along the way. Basically, this episode kinda sounds like shit and I’m only making it available here for posterity’s sake, not because I think it’s worth listening to.

Also, I won’t be including the times in these playlists because that’s way too much work. It’s much easier to do when I’m building AGB Radio, so I’ll keep doing it for that, but I just don’t have the time to do it with A Thick Mist.
