Some excellent 70s #prog on Stuart Maconie's #FreakZone tonight, including Camel and astounding performances from #GentleGiant off the Playing The Fool live album. Almost post-rock / mathrock in places.

Maconie jumps in with Max Bygraves Disco, true to form.
Max is one of those people to me who was born old, and am amazed I shared some time with him on Earth, like how Mammoths were still around as the Pyramids were being built....

The avant garde majesty of Mary Anne Hobbs blends well into Maconie's Freak Zone

Playing Abul Mogard as we are about tuck into our Sunday Dinner, and then some Drum and Bass....

A particularly good Freak Zone Playlist last night!

"Welsh-language gothic avant-rock trio Tristwch y Fenywod present the music that shaped their unique sound.

Expect music from the experimental Welsh language underground including Plant Bach Ofnus and Datblygu plus No Wave and industrial classics from the likes of Teenage Jesus and The Jerks, Throbbing Gristle and EinstΓΌrzende Neubauten."

Perhaps of interest to @nic!

Nate Scheible Uses Old Tapes For New Sounds on ”Fairfax”

The Washington, D.C. ambient artist has been collecting answering machine tapes since he was a teenager.

Bandcamp Daily
Currently living in 2015, listening to #6Music #FreakZone and #StewartLee is sitting in. I just heard on the news Hillary Clinton announced she is running for President.

The Freak Zone Playlist cranking out some visceral Noise tonight.
I hope artists are sampling the noises Black Holes make, that would make for some excellent Noise or Drone

Listening to the Freak Zone on the 6 Music and the organiser of the festival is saying they'll probably have to find a new city to host them as Birmingham City Council has gone bankrupt.
This has had a knock on effect on the availability of local music venues and also property developers have taken away many of the spaces they have used.

Supersonic Festival 2024, Birmingham review - another fine musical celebration far away from the mainstream

I’ve been a regular attender of the Supersonic Festival for about 15 years and much has changed in that time. When I first rocked up to see Swans, Stinky Wizzleteat, PCM and other sonic treats, the event was a bit of a white boys’ club, both in terms of the artists and the audience, despite being put together and curated by a couple of women.

The Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd did a collab album?! Thanks for bringing that to my attention Freakmaster Maconie!
