KTRU Show 4.21.08

time- artist / song [album]

06:56 PM- marla hansen / hollow and bold [wedding day] on the standard recording label. Singer-songwriter violist. The songs are sparse and pretty. I believe this one features vocals by Sufjan Stevens.
————————————————————————————————————-
06:49 PM- tabu ley / linga ngai [babeti soukous] on the real world label.
06:45 PM- crash test taurus / extremecloseupsofnaughtybits [the name is an anagram] on the imp records label.
06:41 PM- ghislain poirier / jusqu’en haut [no ground under] on the ninja tune label. Hip hop in French always makes me giggle. Something about it is so goofy. I just love it.
————————————————————————————————————-
06:32 PM- fatal flying guilloteens / legions of serpents [quantum fucking (a fictitious real life account of young love in the streets] on the french kiss label. Local act rockin’ my innocent little face off with dirty, dirty song titles. This one’s what I would call “anthemic”.
06:29 PM- better beatles, the / hello goodbye [mercy beat] on the hook or crook label.
————————————————————————————————————-
06:25 PM- mark kozelek / you ain’t got a hold on me [rock n roll singer] on the badman label.
06:21 PM- miwa gemini / forever for never [this is how I found you] on the addictive records label.
06:19 PM- wen, wang / tion jing [seven objects in another infinite space] on the fox tail label. Described as the Chinese Explosions in the Sky. I agree, but this track is slightly quirkier with it’s percussion-in-reverse trick. 
————————————————————————————————————-
06:11 PM- extra golden / street parade [hera ma nono] on the thrill jockey label.
06:10 PM- dirtbombs / sherlock holmes [we have you surrounded] on the in the red label.
06:06 PM- spin-17 / rg5550 vs pk1 [spin-17] on the quodlibet label. Japanese experimental music duo Ed Chang and Motoko Shimizu, who has a solo CD titled “Attack of the 5 Foot Woman” ( <3 ) Don’t be put off by the word “experimental”. This song is performed on children’s toys and the effect is fascinating. Speak n’ Spell, is that you?

————————————————————————————————————-
06:00 PM- de madera / gato gris [aire y candela] on the alula records label.
05:56 PM- come on / dont walk on the kitchen floor [homework #105: u.s. "d.i.y." and postpunk 1978-1983: "c"] on the hyped2death label. Another excellent compilation of lo-fi post punk conveniently packaged by Hyped2Death. FYI, KTRU has the most kick arse post-punk show in the entire universe. These DJs really know their stuff, so if you are interested tune in Tuesday nights 7-8 PM CST, 91.7 FM in Houston, ktru.org every where else.
05:54 PM- she & him / sentimental heart [volume one] on the merge label. Zooey Deschanel, please stop making the rest of the female sex look bad. I mean, who gets to be this talented and this ridiculously cute?
————————————————————————————————————-
05:46 PM- siecox / play with me/ the universe doesn’t stop [friendly house favorites] on the self-released label.
05:42 PM- the phoenix foundation / sally [horsepower] on the young american label. Better than average indie rock from New Zealand.
05:39 PM- kit / fake broken legs [broken voyage] on the upset the rhythm label.
————————————————————————————————————-
