web-only HJ interlude

so now that my show has moved up from 2 sprawling post-midnight hours to the coveted 8pm-9pm prime time, i feel like certain things that i would happily play late at night just won't translate too well to the dinnertime hour. cases in point: the late-night cavernous dubstep put out by skull disco and the equally none-more-blackness of a krautrock vein that is pharaoh overlord. maybe i'm just being too reticent? i could actually use some feedback on whether i'm being too experimental or keeping things too tame in my new slot!

anyways, if i were still doing my show after midnight, i would certainly figure out a way to play the soundtrack from this ridiculously rad pseudo-side scrolling video game. the music is by cornel wilczek, who seems to go by qua music online. the flick itself is by paul robertson.

i can't tell if this was animated by machinima or what, but it's sure to appeal to anyone who's ever developed thumb callouses on a sega or a nintendo.

now, crank up yr headphones and turn the lights down low for....

pirate babys cabana battle street fight 2006"!!!

the hydrogen jukebox playlist 10/08/07 - "desperately seeking doc brown" edition!

we could certainly have used doctor emmett brown's help (maybe marty mcfly's, too) around the station tonight. the thunderstorm, while not that intense around the station itself, seemed to have mucked with the signal getting to the transmitter. so sorry if you tuned in via radio and only heard crazy garbled tuneage, and sorry if you were tuning in via the internet and heard me play the same song for the first 15 minutes while we were trying to sort out what to do!

as far as actual tunes go, i played stuff by arthur & yu, broadcast, wooden shjips, boris and michio kurihara, jesu, caribou, and voice of the seven woods. i'll probably play most of them next week, since i was digging what i could hear at least.

if you enjoyed the unintentionally grotty garbled radio version of the show, you should check out marcus popp's stuff under the name "oval"....

new and improved time! same questionable taste!

with the new semester/school year/season/big-city hipster lookbook, i've got a new show time!

instead of super late tuesday nights/super early wednesday mornings, the show will be on from 8-9pm on monday evenings!

you'll get to hear me right after "morning becomes eclectic"! needless to say, i'm pretty excited to be able to spice up rochester's dinner hour with motorik - folk - acid punk - shoegaze - electro - tropicália - indie - psych oddities and pure indie pop ditties. maybe more people will actually call in now, too... perhaps even with food in their mouths!

top albums released (or rereleased) in 2006

These are in a very rough order of preference - although really, that kinda stuff changes all the time. As much as some music critics like to lay claim to some sort of objectivity, I'm always suspicious of overly rigid classification, especially with music - it seems to be beside the point of a form that's always being revisited each time you hear it. Over the next little while I'll write up reviews for each of these, with links to the band or label sites or other places you might be able to listen.

Top Albums that Rocked The Hydrogen Jukebox in 2006

1. Flying Canyon – Flying Canyon (Soft Abuse)

6. Six Organs of Admittance – The Sun Awakens (Drag City)
7. Shogun Kunitoki – Tsankokaiku (Fonal)
