Shirley & Spinoza: ROGC: The Big Jettison!

ROGC: The Big Jettison! (last show)
LIVE-mixed webcast re-hash: May 14th, 2006

This night we released the auxiliary rocket boosters and sand bags, folks.
This was the LAST live webcast show on s&S - at least for a good while. So, it seemed appropriate to needle-drop on highlights from past ROGC shows; say farewell, play some music, too many clips from The Omega Man DVD and whatever else fell into the mix.

Over the last year plus, I took to offering these regular little themed sonic rides ... from low-concept to slightly above low-concept - creating the soundtracks of imaginary films on the fly! During that time, this little Sunday ROGC theater offered the improvised likes of vaudville dada-systems; semi stories, wishful documentaries; the sounds of party-favor science films and sometimes even just nice music.
With several varied but themed sources and elements routinely layered at once (via turntables, CD's, mp3's, loops, microphoned objects, a synth, sampler, etc...) , sonic terrains and narratives were revealed to me in the same moments as they were to those of you that tuned in for the LIVE webcasts.
Yay! live-mix!
Anyway.... if you enjoy any string of these clips & excerpts, please find and pay a listen to the entire original show, they're all available in the archive! the latter ones have thorough playlist pages, I'll get to the older ones as time allows.

It's been a long time coming, but your studio host and the Oakistani catacomb studio will be permanently parting ways soon - I'll be offing to the opposite side of the sphere to live, work and ideally re-establish a smooth phono-genic link with you all very soon by way of new downloadable, regionally inspired shows - so i hope you'll pay an ear in time.
Snipping cables and burning receipts is gritty, dirty, time consuming business, so best to discontinue these with some weeks to spare.This is not a disappearing act entirely, as the regular day to day shirley & Spinoza stream will continue - and a new era of s&S radio is poking just around the corner. So, no worries...I hope you'll stay tuned.

Where to?: returning to Xinjiang, P.R. China - for a good while. There'll be more info here soon with more details about all that....but here, enjoy a little bit of the past.
-yours in sound & servitude,
-FC (s&S / ROGC/ your crotchety 99 year old intern, etc)

0:05:20	ROGC: Roaring Brass Flower	April 10th 2005 show (excerpts)	The original inspiration for the ROGC were the stories and recordings of the early expeditions during the first decade of the 20th century, namely the recordings by the Gramophone Co. of London of the Caucasus in 1908-1909 The thought of a lost recorder perhaps being passed along and traded by merchants and locals, each contributing a small imprint to the hand cranked anthropological sound collage had a nice narrative appeal. Then there was the floral shape of the bell itself, which of course attraced the futuristic mechanical insects that were sent from the far, far distant future to all points in time to invisibly relay the sounds of civilization. Something like that. This show was actually a composite of the March 20th / and March 27th 2005 shows. I'd cut them together into an hour show for air on Otoscope, Nantes France...then played pieces of that here.

0:26:58	ROGC: Radiohoof Home Repair Kit	August 28th 2005 show (excerpts)	Okay, going out of turn, but since he did send that nice little audio card...I let this show cut in line! Otis Fodder had busted his leg and couldn't do the show we'd planned to do together (check the others in the archive). So, with the help of some of his wonderful oddio pals, who sent in little recorded dedications, this show served as live mix Get-Well card. While listening out there, he was emailing his commentary and one of the studio Interns would read it live.

0:45:00	ROGC: 17 Year Cicada	July 10th 2005 show (excerpts)	I'd discovered a bunch of cassette recordings online of a woman describing the month-long coming (and going) of 17 year Cicadas (Brood X) in 2004 and 1987. While her cicadas completely overloaded her recordings, her narration was what i was most attracted to... A sentimental biologist's tone. This show was easily inspired. Insects are generally good for that.

But by the time the light bulb finally goes off, what difference does it make? No one listens to a 'crazy' ole hen anyway. No, Miss Penny, your only alternative is to take matters into your own errr.."hands", go back in time and peck the eyes out of the youthful parents of future evil-doers yourself. Here's how.

0:33:05	ROGC: Halloweeny E'en	Oct 30th 2005 show (excerpts)	Ok, sometimes I really didn't try hard enough with the themes...I mean...it was the night BEFORE Halloween, so we brought a Halloween show - simple formula. But unlike any unrelenting sugary references to holiday boo! characters typical of halloween shows, I was going for something both fun AND genuinely spooky. Plus I even played 20 seconds of Bark at the Moon. shut up! it's my show, i can do whatever I want! Seriously, I think this show works at any time of the year. And your iPod doesn't even have to be black and covered in polyester cobwebs and candy corn.

0:04:23	ROGC: untitled	November 13th 2005 show (excerpt)	This is an shorter extract from a 2 parter evening - featuring Obadia's excellent Rainbowmakers show in the first hour (you can find all that in the archive) . Afterward, I played and mixed other sounds to fill up the slot. Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman bit read by dear K. plus a couple of favorite Renaldo & the Loaf loops. and the squealing of a noise making, circuit bent birthday card sent to me from UNIVAC.

0:12:25	ROGC: untitled (aka vacational window)	November 20th 2005 show (excerpts)	This was another 2 parter show - with the first hour being Headphoner & the Nurse's fantastic "Night" (which, yes, you should absolutely listen to from the archive). After relishing those first 40 minutes of twinkly bliss....I filled in the rest of the evening's slot. You were instructed to get up, grab your suitcases, & catch that flight to Outer Stratistan for another little vacation in sound. As you can hear, I was in dire need of the Big Jettison even way back in November. sigh.

0:39:37	ROGC: Tuba, Not The Girl !	November 27th 2005 show (excerpts)	Just because I think that if that tuba playing kid in the 80's FAME tv series would have let his freak flag fly just a little higher, high atop his tank of a horn and all, he might have come off as less of the sad sack butt of jokes. This show was all for him....and his dear tradgically dateless self. got your back, pal!

0:03:17	ROGC: The Great Rain Drain	January 8th 2006 show (excerpts)	This show came on the first day of clear skies after about a month of nonstop downpour. Consider it my pitch to convince Zeus to just relax for a sec and give the people a little breather, if only to enjoy a dedicated show for a couple of hours (listening on his iPod at Club Med perhaps?). One exciting discovery while gathering sources for this show: Weather forecast podcasts! The wetter ones will be your best friend during the next drought. featuring: water, watery music, thunder, rain, drain sounds , stories, forecasts, etc.

0:33:05	ROGC: Under a Dim Crescent Moon part1	January 15th 2005 show (excerpts)	This was a the first of a 2 show series - featuring sounds exclusively gathered in Xinjiang (Uyghur Autonomous Region) during 2003 by your studio host. included are field recordings of music, ambiences, shortwave radio, music from local cassettes & CD's, etc. This is the outlying region where I'm returning to live in the PRC. I concentrated on the music and communities of the Turkic minorities, mainly the largest native Uyghur population throughout, but also recorded examples of Kyrgyz and Kazakh music. the shortwave radio you hear was both local and from other Central Asian states.
0:49:53	ROGC: Under a Dim Crescent Moon part2	January 22nd 2005 show (excerpts)	This was a the second of that 2 show Xinjiang (Uyghur Autonomous Region) series. Similar to the first, in range, but with different material. I think these strings of excerpts don't do the range of recordings justice though. you should listen to the entire shows.
1:04:37	DJ micbreak	DJ	So I realized that there were several ROGC shows I didn't get to this night. fair enough or this excerpt show would have been 10 freakin hours long...but pay a listen to the others in the Archive AND all the wonderful guest shows by other folks!
1:08:09	commie bastard music (Soviet / Korean)
