LIVE: Shirley & Spinoza – Deep Freeze part 1
one of the last two LIVE regular webcasts before we took a hiatus until ’05.

The cryogenic deep freeze / radio-shadow (by way of other land masses, projects) show that would bring a pause to new shows for while.

This spinoz-o-spheric mixup was in lieu of a scheduled guest performer who bailed at the last minute.
Good riddence as i think this night was much more fruitful as a result.
Lunar soundscraping was brought to you by ole s&S instead with gusto and in time for your Sunday evening zero-G tea break..
Here we heard much of and from the red planet, apollo, and Richard Burton at his most apocalyptic
Featuring elements from: war of the martian-apollo wolf seed experiment.

THEN, the age of the SECOND RADIO SHADOW
….came and went….

running time: 1 hour 13 mins

LIVE: Shirley & Spinoza

“another stinkin antecedent”

improvised live soundtrack to an imaginary missing episode of “the Land of the Lost”.

The show starts and we still haven’t found the source of a mysterious buzz – turns out it was this little fella in cahoots with a light dimmer in the next room (aka LOTL).

mp3 excerpts:

• “intro & that damn buzz” (2.3 MB)
• “Eenik tells it like it is” (3.6 MB)
• “1000 year old feedback loops” (1.2 MB)

s&S: episode 24

While the title of this ‘show’ might suggest that it directly followed Episode 23, that’s not exactly the case.

“23″ was a half hour compilation of segments from the first semester of s&S during the CalArts years – compiled from and to cassette in 1993. Episode 24 was also similarly a compilation sampler of unrelated segments but mostly pulled from the shows when S of s&S had a generally solo stint assaulting the micro-power airwaves at Free Radio Berkeley the year or two following (1994-5).

After graduating, S of s&S moved up north to the San Francisco Bay Area, while s of s&S stayed at CalArts for another pair of years to throw more money into the art school well. Often I (s) would generate layered source mix tapes to send north to Dave and he would use use them in the mix of his show at FRB – which was at the time in the converted upstairs bathroom of a group hippie house in Oakland. Truth be told, “s&S north” may have embellished these clips a bit before offing them to me by post back in 1994 or ’5. But a spastic radio-audio letter from a best pal, shoot! what could be more fun to get in the mail?…
And…so…. suddenly, the Berkeley burnout callers revealed proof of the geography…no question that s&S had quite shifted to the Bay Area.

s&S: episode 23

From the deep dark corners of the s&S vault:

We first started pushing noises around the mixer for fun as s&S while film students at the California Institute of the Arts in the early 1990′s.

After signing up for our first extra curricular radio show slot, we quickly discovered that straight-up music playing was best reserved for the proverbial birds (and professionals) and that it was just loads more fun once you essentially started dumping all of your records onto the mixer at once. Not only that, but most music really did sound better to our ears at the time with the sound of baaaah-ing sheep in the background… and Gyuoto monk chant LPs did sound better at 78 rpm. I mean, how else could we ever have time or opportunity to preview all the crap that we scavenged from thriftbins the previous weekend?

During this much more spastic era of s&S, we’d shuttle the entire collection of thriftstore records in 2 turbo charged, AA battery powered supermarket shopping carts across campus to the closed circuit radio closet that was KCIA for our weekly show. Obviously improvised micro skits and nonsensical one liners glued together the bursts of glorious thriftcore on the fly each week to the listening enjoyment of the 4 or 5 folks that could actually pick up the signal in their art studios on the floors below.

“Episode 23″ was a half hour compilation of segments from our first semester of shows during 1992-1993. all excerpts taken from the lo-bias audio cassette air-check tapes that we’d kept each week. “23″ was though, simply meant to end up on the B-side on 60 minutes mix tapes sent to friends in the mail at the time…..

enjoy.
