Curated music for curious people.
Radio Fragments is my radio show here in Seattle - broadcasting early Thursday mornings on KBCS 91.3 fm - a tour of the coolest music from current and past decades
Blues, Big Band, Bee-Bop, Jazz, Garage Rock, New Wave, Punk, Post-Punk, Post-post-punk, Electronica, Novelty Songs, Product Music, Outsider Music, Found Sound, and some great new music to boot -- the colors of the musical rainbow, presented and annotated for your entertainment and edification.
I’ve been finding myself fascinated by the experiments being done by the Flaming Lips this year, culminating in a 6 hour long composition called “I Found A Star on the Ground”. I’m working my way through it these days, it can be hard to listen to at times, but I keep getting pulled back to it.
They also did a 24 hour long song called “7 Skies H3”. Somehow that seems too much, however.
Amon Tobin opened his “ISAM Live” tour here in Seattle back in September, if I had known what the show was going to be like, I would have gone! Really interesting how the set came to be, and some of the visuals are pretty incredible.
