Rachael talked to Bianca Rocca and Toya Webb about their show 'Working Title', on at the George Fraser Gallery. Theo was in studio and played some Korean experimental music from the Bulgasari community. He also played some commentry from John Waters, the director of Multiple Maniacs.
Malvern Brume is a London-based musician and sound artist. His music, formed through experimentations with electronic instruments, field recordings, amplified objects and voice, has been released on Alter, TakuRoku, Kashual Plastik, and his own imprint Infant Tree. This weekend on FPR, he shares a textured and tonal mix for the first hour. Afterwards, we get weird with FP DJ Gus.
Do you fancy yourself a bit of cocktail conisseur? Does the thought of Don Draper rolling up his perfect sleeves to concoct an old fashioned make you salivate? Do you look at that creepy, bowtied bartender in the Shining and think "Yes. Mess me the feck UP, Lloyd!" Well thank god for Liquor King and Jonny and Big Hungry, because Cocktail Corner is gonna shake you, stir you, and roll you out the door into your liquor dreams. Cool.
Music can be a pretty unifying force, especially for the geographically isolated. Kiran talks to Mikey about music critic David Keenan's first novel, This Is Memorial Device, which evokes this idea while portraying a fictional post-punk band in '70s-'80s small town Scotland.
Alex picks a show Mike's had on the brain for ages - the '70s crime drama Quarry. With an antihero whose story spans the Mekong to the Mississippi, Alex gets in behind to make some bold claims of quality.
Featuring music from Os Juventude, Lone, Stefan Ringer, No Regular Play, MonoNeon, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, DBLDBL, Chaos In The CBD, Moire, Dadras and Kid Sublime
Spoken word feature this week:
Aldous Huxley, Doors of Perception (excerpt) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9eD7oSX7dg
The Doors of Perception is a philosophical essay, released as a book, by Aldous Huxley. First published in 1954, it details his experiences when taking mescaline. The book takes the form of Huxley's recollection of a mescaline trip that took place over the course of an afternoon in May 1953. Huxley recalls the insights he experienced, which range from the "purely aesthetic" to "sacramental vision". He also incorporates later reflections on the experience and its meaning for art and religion.
