Soundscape Playlist

[Sebastian Knight]

I figured with the playlists from a couple of other Prog radio shows up I might link to one by an Atlanta prog fan.  Click here for the website of Soundscape.  You can listen to the latest show as well as some selected picks by Woody Harris who runs the joint.  

I thought this week's list was something a few Planet Crim folk would enjoy: Progoween:

[Gambit]

No Zevon? Murderers, but no "Excitable Boy"? Death, but no "Life'll Kill Ya" or "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead"? Sheesh.

(The Wilson/PT and Alan Parsons are nice touches though.)

[sarah]

Yay on the PT, boo on leaving out Cake's "Pentagram".  Dancing and chanting in a sacrifical rite/My feet are dry with the ashes of dead babies...

Blackest Eyes isn't about a serial killer, is it?

 :shock:

[Gambit]

Blackest Eyes isn't about a serial killer, is it?

I thought most of In Absentia was (at least loosely) about a serial killer, although I don't remember where I read that. It makes sense when you consider some of the lines..

"I've got wiring loose inside my head ... I got secrets in my garden shed"
"They are not gone, they are not gone, they are only sleeping / in graves, in ways, in clays beneath the floor ... brick it up now, brick it up now but keep the bones"
"Tire tracks fresh on the ground / she will be found"

etc.

[Scott]

Call me old fashioned, but it just aint Halloween without the Alice Cooper.

I Love The Dead

I love the dead before they're cold
They're bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes
I never knew your rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, Darling
We love the dead
We love the dead, Yeah

Sung to the tune of the Barbra Mandrell classic: "cuz he was necro, when necro wasn't coooooooolllll"

Call me old fashioned, but it just aint Halloween without the Alice Cooper.

Don't forget "Dead Babies" or "The Ballad of Dwight Fry".  

Before he turned into a complete cartoon he did some pretty radical stuff--at least for the time.

And don't forget "Only Women Bleed", that's really scary!

[The Light Construkctioner]

Ah, that's another Dividing Line show. They do a lot of good stuff!

That's where Progopolis was before Vince and Daisy called it quits, not sure who is taking their place.

I believe Variant has been played on 4 different Dividing Line prog-shows. They were played week after week on Progopolis for quite some time which is pretty awesome, and even wrote Vince and Daisy a tribute song, which got played on their last show. Very cool.

Now they need to get around to contacting this Woody Harris, too, see if he's interested.

[Soundscape DJ]

Hello there folks,
My name is Woody Harris and I run the aforementioned show along with my lovely wife Suzi.  I was just messing around, typing in different variations of the show and my name, and I came across you guys.  It was interesting to see what you all had to say about this, my first halloween episode for Soundscape.  I was rather proud of the show, but I would like to respond to a few of your comments.  First off, thanks so much if you have checked out the show.  It is near impossible to do all of my own publicity and it was a welcome find to see that you guys were talking about our little old show.  Although I know the show is missing Warren Zevon and Alice Cooper, I have been creating halloween compilations for years now.  These have only recently translated to radio shows.  Knowing that nearly every halloween show that is out there features Zevon and Cooper, I was trying something much different.  I wanted to come up with Halloween music that you might have missed.  In this particular year, I got away from all of the kitschy halloween songs and went for songs that were really full of scary content. 

Now with all that said, I am fast approaching my 3rd halloween show and I do not want to repeat any past excursions, so if you have new ideas for a halloween themed progressive show, please drop me a line and let me know.  In the meantime, thanks again for checking out the show.  Please let me know you are out there.  woody@thedividingline.com

Cheers,

if you have new ideas for a halloween themed progressive show, please drop me a line and let me know.

Can comes to mind (particularly the second half of Tago Mago), and some KTU could be fitting enough. Eno's Shutov Assembly can be pretty scary too, but I don't imagine it'd translate well to radio.

Then again, you can always include some LaMonte Young, just as a joke...

[Michael]

"LaMonte Young is the other [in addition to John Cage] important figure in the pantheon, as it were. He was the one who got into repetitiveness - drones, and things going on for a long time. He was really the one who started that school. Terry Riley, Reich, Glass, most of that school owe a debt to him. Certainly I do as well. The first piece of music I ever performed publicly was a LaMonte piece. That was in 1967 or '68. It was a repetitive piece, and it remains in my mind as one of my great musical experiences. It really is a cornerstone of everything I've done since.   Brian Eno, 1981

But hey, what the fuck does Eno know about such things?

[Kram]

Wow, I never heard Lamonte Young! I feel like such a teenager.

Eno's Apollo is scary to me.

[Michael]

I was going to say "yes you have", but then I remembered that you dropped out of the disc project.
