Ub Radio: – Musical Chairs

okay……

THE RULES:

  • Each musician brought an instrument that everyone would be able to “play”.
  • When DJ Footstool played the theme music, the musicians got up and circled the table.
  • When the theme music stopped playing, the musicians sat in the closest chair & played that instrument!
  • got it?

Ub Radio #8

This was a special pre-recorded show hosted by dAS of the usual Ub Radio crew. In this yummy little 1/1/’06 gifty-pie, the man thrust a diamond tipped, mp3-encoded shovel deep into the Ub Radio time capsule – to see what long lost treasures would come a-bubblin up. The history of UbRadio is aeons older than appearances on s&S, you see. These nomadic noise makers and hosts have been bringing you delicious warm, noise milk to amuse and challenge since ….um the mid freakin 80′s? (is that right, dAS?)

sounds and performances by:

Freshly Wrapped Candies,
Illusion of Safety,
Monks of Doom,
Crash Worship,
Monte Cazazza,
Negativland,
Randy Grief,
If, Bwana,
Suckdog,
Minoy,
The Haters,
