Friday, April 14 show featuring Loïc Boyer

Download part one, featuring Loïc Boyer, mp3, 45 minutes.

Tracklisting and info from our guest, Loïc Boyer:

Electric Callas, Winner (untitled EP 1981)
Electric Callas was a late 70s french punk band, but when it was time to record their second (and last) single, they turned to this supercool Amanda Lear-esque white funk.

The Glove, Perfect Murder (Blue Sunshine LP 1983)
The one and only recording from Robert Smith and Steve severin's side project. Rare and beautiful.

Yoko Ono, Let The Tears Dry (My Man 7' 1982)
Strange beatbox-meets-gospel track, haunted by the death of the loved one.

The Royal Family & the Poor, Art On 45 (Toxic LP 2005)
Originally a 1981 Factory Records EP, re-issued on the fantastic Toxic compilation by freaks Uncle O & Solo. Punk + P-Funk = P-Punk?

Morplay, Check Your Pulse (Electroclash LP 2002)
Perfect fake old school electro hip-hop. Not much clash in this electro, but it's alright this way.

Station Rose, Eclipse (Live @ Home 2 EP 1999)
I met the "best multimedia band in the world" (their words) while I was supporting their act one night. They gave me that record after beeing so amazed by the fact that I could play Psychic TV in an electro set. They sound quite Chris & Cosey themselves, don't they?

Freeez, I Dub U (I O U 7" 1983)
One day, latin hip-hop will rule the world again. All praises due to Arthur Baker and Jellybean Benitez.

Fantastic 5 MC's live (Hip-Hop Funk Dance Classics vol.1 LP 1991)
This is not a record, this is history!!

Buggles, I Am a Camera (I Am a Camera EP 1981)
To be honest I bought this one for the cover, and was a bit disappointed by the music the first time I listened to it. But by now it's one of my favorites, with its epileptic bassline, and its cold cold mood…

Konk, Elephant (The Sound of Konk LP 2004)
Another band who got their first recording issued by 99 Records, like Y Pants, Liquid Liquid, or ESG. The hell of a scene!!

Guillaume Fédou, Ce Job Est Pour Moi (Ce Job Est Pour Moi 7" 2003)
Damn! I'll never understand why this track never became a hit, remixed by a bunch of hip producers, etc. But I guess it's not too late!!

Castle D., Just Saying Fresh Rhymes (The Best Of B-Boy Records LP 2002)
I used to love this track, even when I hadn't seen Assault On Precint 13 yet. John Carpenter rules!

Psychic TV, New Sexuality (A pagan Day LP 25th december 1986)
A grrrreat album, filled with marvelous songs. I play it as soon as I can, in any set, there's always a song that can match the mood. Thanks to Olivier Hahn who bought plenty of Psychic TV records at the right time, and who gave 'em to me when he turned to eighteenth century music.



Big thanks to Loïc Boyer of Rouen, France for two things: First we can thank him for the new look of this website. He designed the banner and really made the radiozeroradio page look fresh. And second he has recently published a fantastic limited edition book called Rythmes Magnétiques: Dessins, Signes et Icônes Rassemblés Subjectivement wich means something like Magnetic Rythms: Drawings, Signs and Icons Subjectively Gathered. It's a visual universe inspired by the music you can hear on this mix. Totally early '80s with the reminisence of Vivienne Westwood. And in addition to this book he has put together this awesome mix which out-radiozeros me! I'm gonna have to get another job and buy up all these records now.

This is the A side of his mix tape (that is actually available on cassette tape!). It's like the introduction to an amazing art party. I'm listenting to this expecting Jean-Michel Basquiat to ring me up and tell me that he and Bowie are dropping by in an hour. But that's a ghost story for another time...

The book is limited to 100 copies, and 20 pieces will be sold with the mix on a vintage BASF tape M. Boyer found at the flea market the other sunday. The price for the book is 4€ for the regular edition, 5€ for the limited edition with the original cassette tape mix. Yeah you have the mix on your computer now, but what about the real thing? The hard copy.

Stay tuned for next week when we premiere the b-side of the Rhythmes Magnétiques mixtape.

you are an angelwitch

Angel Witch - Angel Witch

Well it looks like I've cracked and decided to post an mp3. I had to. This is hands down the best metal song ever, and as it would turn out I currently can't think of any song from any genre I like better. It has the redundancy factor wich is huge in my books (Just look back to my obsession with the song Motorhead by Motorhead and you'll know what I mean). And seriously Angel Witch is catchy as hell- I'll be damned if there wasn't a club full of well dressed people singing along at the gang of youth party two weeks ago.

This track was recorded off the original pressing of the album "Angel Witch", which was released in 1980 on Bronze Records and is a bastion of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM).

okay it took 2 weeks to get this up, but I wasn't even originally going to post this show. I had this week off so I figured I'd re-record this at home while I had some spare time. As always it's still a live mix, and still all from vinyl (except the boogeRS track, but I'm putting out vinyl for that in the summer) so here you go...

friday march 03, 2006 download. The post-punk/electro/disco/new-wave/rocksendupshow

Download Show Here (72 minutes, all music no talking)

(Playlist for the show is below, I've written out all the talking so you just have to listen and enjoy)

This show walks a fine line between modern retro obsession and vintage originals. We start off in 1986 at the scene of a horrific car crash involving a frenchman named Kavinsky, a Ferrari and the zombie that emerged 20 years later to get vengence. We follow Kavinsky's nod to Jan Hammer with some pixel age doomsdayery courtesy of Kraftwerk's "Computer World" followed by more 80's doom shit with Afrika Bambaataa and John Lydon together as Time Zone rapping on "World Destruction."

Ying Yang Twins lighten the mood for the hip-hop section (if you could call the prior mood heavy, I was thinking it was some combination of corny and awesome) with Xpress 2's europeansuperclub remix of "Shake", which I mixed some classic Yaz into the end, followed by DJ Ayers' delightful rework of the Talking Heads' classic "Sugar on My Tongue" and Modern Romance's "Nothing Ever Turns out Like You Planned / Queen of the Rapping Scene" (check the french accent, it's like Uffie in 82 with more treble and without the sex).

Chicken Lips nod to 70's vocalists with "White Dwarf" and Waves follow with some vintage, possibly french-canadian electro disco on the track "Touch". I don't know, Rollo is a canadian label, and the singer's got a french accent, so I just assume she's from Quebec perhaps. Does anybody else know about this band?

Vortex followed Waves (coincidence?) with "Black Box Disco" which is an original soundtrack piece from an old new york indie film called either Vortex or Grey Death starring Lydia Lunch. I think the film was called Grey Death for some reason, but the Soul Jazz liner notes call the film Vortex, but I think that Vortex was the name of the free-jazz / electronic outfit that worked on the soundtrack. Maybe you, dear listener can deduce this mystery and we can get to the truth. Either way, it's a great track.

Speaking of New York indie films with soundtracks, here's one for you. Guy Richards Smit writes and directs films, paints satirical watercolors and plays a fictious character in the art-rock band Maxi Geil! & Playcolt that scores the soundtracks for his films. Maxi Geil! & Playcolt released a beautiful picture disc 12inch vinyl that features this track, "Making Love In The Sunshine" as well as "That's How The Story Goes." I would strongly recommend you go get this record if you are at all interested in vinyl and music. It's available from Roebling Hall in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) at 390 Whyte Ave, and in the Chelsea area in Manhattan at 606 West 26th Street. Yeah if you happen to read this and you are on foot in New York looking for collectible vinyl... And while you're in New York Maxi Geil! will be doing a show on March 12 at the Northsix in Brooklyn. Also, Maxi Geil! & PlayColt is about to go back in the studio to record their second full length LP for FRED [LABEL] LTD (London) with producers Josh Hager (the Elevator Drops, Garvy J, The Rentals) and Paul Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies, Hole, etc.)

Next up, Joe Jackson with "Sunday Papers"... While he was poppy-punk before he was poopy-pop, Anthrax even covered him (remember "Got The Time?)! And my favorite new rediscovery is Pere Ubu's "Pa (Ubu) Dance Party" from 1979's Dub Housing - absolutely brilliant post-punk track. The B-52's fill in the recognizable nostalgia section here with "Dance This Mess Around" from their 1979 self titled LP.

boogeRS from France come in with their anti-image electro/punk super-hit "Ashtray" which will be released soon on vinyl from gangofyouth.

Were almost done.

Next up is a collaboration between Soul Jazz post-punk/disco poster-boys Arthur Russell and Nicky Siano operating together as Felix. Joakim follows with his new single "I Wish You Were Gone" which is like house or disco, but it's also got this really hooky no-wave guitar riff which I really like. This song is just really good. And this is followed by Cut Copy, a long time favorite here with "Going Nowhere" (finally finally available on vinyl!!!)

And Sebastien Tellier, another frenchman finishes out the show with his delightful pop song "Broadway." Is it just me or does he sound exactly like Paul MacCartney here. And the trumpet bit sounds a lot like something out of the Yellow Submarine. Or like the bit out of "penny lane" Which is really fantastic since I am a huge MacCartney fan and I like subtle references to psychedelic music anytime.
